Thevoidstaredback - Cats Welcome, Humans Tolerated

I was caught so off guard.

I have....concerns. Please don't update me about this story. Please. I'm begging.

I love the idea that the JL need to summon Phantom for one reason or another (dealer's choice) but hear me out. Instead of Constantine or Zatanna or Raven or someone pulling out chalk and drawing a summoning circle, what if it's:

JL Member: We can't do this alone. We need help. Any ideas?

Magic user: Well, there is one being I can think of to help, but I don't know if I should.

JL Member: What do you mean you don't know? We're out of options. Who is it?

Magic User, mumbling: Well, he probably just got out of school for the day and has homework...

JL Member: Just summon whoever it is. We'll be sure to pay them back for any inconvenience to them for their help.

Magic User, know that was a terrible thing to say and that this is probably a bad idea: Alright, gimme a sec.

Magic User then pulls out a phone none of the others recognize and press the only contact in the list. After two rings, whoever is on the other side picks up.

Danny, pissed off and tired: This better be good, [Magic User] because I just got done with mid terms and you are encroaching on my nap. I haven't slept in two days, so the world better be ending.

Magic User, visibly distressed: I'm sorry, Phantom, but you'd be correct? My world is going to end soon, so we kind of need your help.

Danny: *long, drawn out, frustrated sigh* I'll be there in a moment. *hangs up*

JL Member: What the hell?

I had plans today.

I was gonna finish editing a story on AO3, and then I was gonna add more parts to my stories here, and then I was gonna work a few WIPs. After that, I was gonna go record something for YT with my friends and sister.

I woke up at 10:30 (1.5 hours after my alarm) and my brain decided it's a low brain day. I have enough energy for one (1) thing today and it's going to be recording because I flaked last time.

Anyway, because it's a low brain day, I want to sit here and read. But, if I say in my room, my mom will be passive aggressive about me always being in my room. Unfortunately, she's decided to listen to stuff on her laptop at full volume.

Again.

Why to adults (older millennials and older) do that? You don't need to watch stuff at full volume.

I get we're at home, but I just want some quiet.

(My dad does the same thing, but worse. He's got his speaker on full blast in his room and I can hear it clearly in the kitchen, let alone my own bedroom)

(Mom normally does this, so it's not a new problem, but I usually have an easier time blocking her stuff out)

Anyway

Recording was cancelled tonight, so we're gonna watch more movies with my parents.

Tonight's Movie: The Amazing Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield)

My phone is gonna be charging during the movie, so probably won't get any of my thoughts. (Unless I grab my 6ft cord👀)

Anyway, I think my family has either gaslit me or I'm going crazy. I'm the only one, out of the five of us, who remembers the tradition of us watching The Amazing Spider-Man (or any of the Spider-Man movies, really) every year on New Year's Eve until I was 15.

I know what I know, but no one else does, apparently.

I got the longer cord. Maybe I'll remember to add my thoughts:

We keep having hiccups. We'll get to the movie eventually... In the meantime, and because no one asked or probably cares, I'm gonna make a master post thing for my movie thoughts.

Aunt May!

Uncle Ben!

It'd be a shame if anything happened to either of them.👀

I'm arachnophobic....

Peter is such a dork. I love him.

I am extremely arachnophobic..........

Poor Peter. He doesn't know what's going on. He's got superpowers, though.

You'd think I'd be a lot more prepared to watch a movie called Spider-Man, knowing full well that this one has actual spiders in it. But, nope! I shudder every time a spider comes on screen.

I hate Flash (Spider-Man Flash, not DC Flash.)

I love Uncle Ben. Like, very much so.

Peter and Gwen are very cute. Like, teeth-rottingly fluffy. I love them.

It'd be a shame if something happened to either of them.

He said the thing!!

Uncle Ben!!!😭😭😭😭😭

I'm gonna cry

"He's not a vigilante-" liar.

Good to know that Peter doesn't like spandex at first. He seemed so put off by the fact that every best option was spandex.

I love him. He's such a dork. He's so funny.

Curtis's got a new hand!

It's slimy af, tho.

It's also a bit scaley

He's struggling for words and it's adorable. He's so in love. She's so in love back.

Poor Gwen.

Poor Canoe.

He said the thing!!!

I love the subtitles in the soundtrack that I've never noticed before. Like, there's a series of notes that indicates whenever his Spidey Sense goes off. I never noticed it before now.

Godzilla joke. Subtle.

Godzilla joke mark 2. Also subtle.

Why does no one ever listen to kids? And then turn around, do as the kid suggested, and claim it as their own idea? It's bull.

His phone is so old...

I keep wanting to call The Lizard 'Killer Croc', but this is Marvel, not DC.

I also keep wanting to call him Doc. Oc, which is the right franchise, but the wrong villain.

Cop dad uncomfortable with period symptoms? Tsk, tsk.

Peter! You're hurt! Not the time to kiss your girl!

Hearing voices, doc? Hmm. Smells like a BBEG.

Gwen, sweetie, when people tell you to run away. Run away.

Stan Lee Cameo!!!

I miss him.

Maybe don't get close to the Big, Bad Lizard Man...

Gwen, honey, what did I say about running?

I love that the construction workers are helping him. Like, basically every villain says "No good deed goes unpunished." but Spidey saved one kid and now has all the blue collar workers helping him out. I love it and it doesn't get enough rep.

Cop Dad Stacy!😸

Cop Dad Stacy!🙀

Cop Dad Stacy!😿

Aunt May's a girlboss. I love her
