DP (´。✪ω✪。´): no let him speak. This is my language. I’ll translate if necessary
S4: What is the idea?
SM: I’m glad you asked Bitsy child, darling of mine. Favored copy of all the copies

S4: Praise scares me
S3: Go on then
SM: Thank you. Wait. Where’s Dave? DAVID WE NEED YOU
S2: DAVID

D2: yes?
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): I said GOD, David
S2: I’m already here wade
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): oh right, my bad
SM: Focus please. The world is shit. Everyone is stuck inside. We all know someone who’s got the virus. Spiderman needs to do something, but Spiderman is presently stuck inside with everyone else. So. I had an idea.
S4: which is?
S2: bad
SM: yes, obviously. BUT. I’m just sayin. BT did an AMA the other week.
S3: He did a what??
S2: no shit??
S4: I know I watched it! He even dragged Red into it and the whole internet is sad that he’s married now.
SM: ikr??
S2: ugh. Why tho???
S3: everyone wants to fuck Red, girl. That’s just how it is.
S2: I KNOW. But like. Why.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): that ass
SM: thank you wade.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): np
SM: are you done?
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): ye
SM: great.
SM: the point is, guys, that we are a bunch of wily fuckers climbing the walls rn. BT is chatting with people online to help distract them from the virus. I think we should join him. But like, maybe instead of talking to them we just publish our chat?
S2: ooooooooooh
S3: so the whole world will know that none of us knows how many ‘c’s and ‘m’s are in ‘recommend’ without spellcheck?
SM: exactly that. Yes.
SM: I mean. We are all objectively hilarious.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): correct
S2: we could also just film Wade. Wade is hilarious on his own
DD: no
S4: eyyyyyy
S2: EYYYY
S3: ayy
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): redthew you have joined us finally
D2: hello!
SM: hey DD. We’re going to publish the chat online for folks to see. Do you think you can text to speech for a while?
DD: Excuse me? Ableist.
SM: Um?
S2: how??
DD: You want me to write out long shit? Just so that people online can see?
DD: ableist
SM: oh shit. Sorry.
S4: we can transcribe your messages? And just play like you’re an old guy who’s bad at tech.
SM: absolutely. Or I can just transcribe them and shop them in. No one will know any different before they go up.
BT: HELLO
S2: EYYYY
S4: eyyyyyyyy
S3: hey Sam
SM: hey. no names. If we’re going to do this, no one can use names. Only nicknames from here on out, yeah?
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): not a problem
D2: so no Dave?
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): Whoops. Okay difficult.
SM: Wade. Dave IS his nickname. No, Dave, you’re still Dave. Sorry bud
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): wat

DP (´。✪ω✪。´): what what what
S2: oh shit I forgot too. Okay, Dave still gets to be Dave then.

BT: Y’all are stealing my ideas. This is copyright infringement. I’m leaving.
SM: NO COME BACK I’M SORRY
BT: Are you?
SM: yes
BT: okay fine I forgive you
DD: we need to work on grudges next. I am adding it to the list
S3: lol
S4: how do you train someone to hold a grudge?
BT: grudges aren’t healthy Boss.
DD: says who
BT: your therapist on the phone the other day.
SM:!!!
S2: asdfjas;dkfj
DD: she doesn’t own me
BT: idk about that.
DD: I could leave her right now and be fine
BT: She said you have abandonment issues too
DD: I’m done.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): it’s okay Redthew I will never leave you. You’ll always have me.
DD: oh trust me
DD: I know
DD: it haunts me daily
SM: ANYWAYS. Back on track.
SM: Only nicknames. We’ll post them to an affiliated twitter. Little Spidey and Bitsy, this is your domain, do you think you can tell folks what we’re planning?
S4: yeah
S2: can do
SM: tell folks we’re only gonna do it if they behave. This is normally secret-secret stuff.
S3: spelling ‘recommend’ is secret-secret stuff?
SM: We’re about to tell the public how fucking stupid we are, S3. Yeah. It WAS a secret.
S2: the public has known how dumb we are for ages, spidey. But okay. It could be fun, I suppose.
BT: geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet ready to BLOCK
S4: the twitter master has spoken
S2: hail the twitter master
S3: hail
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): hail
D2: what?
DD: I have no idea. Just go with it.
SM: hail.
SM: We will be ready to block rowdy folks, BT. Thank you for the wisdom.
BT: no problem. Let me know if y’all need anything. Me and teach are gonna make food now. By which I mean that me and teach are going to go over how to be patient and not overknead dough again.
DD: I have been inside for days. Who else am I supposed to fight?
BT: after a couple of days, y’all should do an AMA for people. That’ll be fun. A shitshow. But fun.
SM: 👍
BT: byeeeee
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): So you’ll do the editing Spiderkid?
SM: woah. ANCIENT nickname. Fuck.
SM: yeah, I’ll do it.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): I could go with ‘sport?’ Champ? Slugger? Baby boy?
S2: Baby boy

S4: ^^^^
SM: I am no longer baby.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): you’ll always be my baby 💋

DP (´。✪ω✪。´): everyone knows who I am boo. But y’all can call me DP if you want
S4: ah
S4: are we going to discuss anything of worth? Or is it gonna be all lamenting bubble tea and spelling again?
SM: business as usual
S3: so long dignity
S2: We never had any to start with.
S3: true but still hurtful
S2: alright Spidey me and Bitsy will set it up. Give us the green light when we’re gonna start.

S2: copy that
S3: we will
S4: yep yep
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): will do
D2: ^
Little Spidey (Pink): Hello Twitter. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Spiderman has decided that we should share with you all our private chat. We will be doing so on the condition that y’all remain cool about it. You gonna be cool?
Spiderman 4.0: As Pink has said on her account, Spiderman (the big guy) wants to entertain you all with how absolutely, knock-out dumb your fave dream team is. But we can only do that if everyone stays cool about it, alright? Can I get a promise?
Blindspot: Hello friends. My buddy Spidey back in NYC is in the thick of the virus, but trying to spread some cheer. He and his team have a group chat that is WILD. He’s willing to let y’all in on it, but you can’t let things get weird. Situation is scary. He’s trying to hero here, but he needs your help.
S2: hey spidey
SM: hay is for horses
SM: lol
S2: you’re turning into DD.
SM: TAKE IT BACK
S2: no. Twitter says they’ll behave. Folks are really excited. They’re down to go ahead.
SM: oh nice. Well. Shall we get started then? What is our business of this blessed day?
S3: oh are we live?
SM: god no. Can you imagine?
S4: scary
SM: we would expose everyone to wade

SM: I told you not to watch that shit
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): Netflix is my only comfort in this cold hard world BB boy
SM: I TOLD you not to make it weird
S2: it’s so weird wade, please stop
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): baby boy??? You don’t like to be recognized for what you are??
SM: I am not a baby. We already discussed this. I’m not discussing it again.
D2: you’re kind of a baby.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): AHA. An ally. Speak, David. Tell us your thoughts and ideas.
D2: no thanks
DD: You’re like twelve, kid. Accept it.
SM: We have Bitsy and you two continue to treat me like this. In what world is this acceptable?
S4: I am baby.
S2: fact
S3: correct
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): no. You are fetus. You are a twinkle in someone’s eye. Spiderchild is baby boy. Why was this okay ten years ago but not now?? What have I done to you to deserve such hatred and rejection?
DD: I have. A list.
SM: read him the riot act, Red
DD: kay
DD: Broken arm at 16

DD: Choked that one time with the suitcase

DD: the time with the rollerskates.
DD: the time you let me drive.
DD: The dungeon incident.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): you know what
DD: losing the flashdrive with his final presentation on it
DD: inciting a bull and fleeing the area
DD: falsely claiming to have a pilot’s license
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): I don’t have to listen to this
S3: damn spidey, you’re well adjusted for all that
SM: this is but a sliver of my trauma.
S2: define ‘well adjusted.’
S3: not presently screaming
SM: not today.
SM: yet.
S2: did you take your meds?
S2: Spidey
S3: Spidey
S4: Spidey did you?
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): that’s a negative
DD: If I have to take mine than you have to take yours
SM: Consider.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): alright no
SM: if I don’t take mine
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): no no. I’m putting a stop to this one
SM: you don’t take yours?
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): we are all, collectively, taking our medication during the pandemic.
DD: a compelling argument
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): we are all, collectively, also ignoring people who’s idea of fashion is green sneakers
DD: I love it
SM: I knew you would.
S2: old men, you are all taking your meds. We can’t cope with any of you when you’re chemically unbalanced. That includes you, Spidey.
S3: oh shit, Little Spidey just got real.
S4: y’all made Pink get serious. Make it stop, I’m scared.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): the babe is scared, Spiderkid, do you hear this? You are frightening the children.
DD: I have just been informed that there will be cruel and unusual punishment if meds are not taken appropriately.
S3: oh thank god
S2: Husband is the real mvp
DD: Husband has no sense of humor and is backed by the gall of the apprentice.
SM: Tell Husband that he is oppressing me.
DD: K
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): what exactly do you think that’s going to accomplish for you, Webs?
SM: WOAH WOAH WOAH
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): I know. I know.
SM: HOLY SHIT.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): you’re the one who asked for this.
SM: I know but??? Webs???
S4: I am confusion.
D2: Same.
S2: that’s a cute nickname Spidey. You should take that one.
SM: no you don’t understand.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): old, old, old nickname.
S2: ?
SM: Wade used to call me that before we were teamed up. Like. In early, early days.
DD: Husband says he’s going to start demanding tribute from all the peasants he’s supervising.
DD: oh shit.
DD: webs.
DD: what’s going to happen next, Wade, you going to call me Hornhead?
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): I can
DD: no you don’t have to.
SM: do it. We’ll just take this whole planet 11 years into the past.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): 11…
DD: FUCK I’M OLD.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): Christ
DD: how did this even happen?
DD: one second I was actively trying to get killed

DD: touch me and suffer the consequences
BT: Hello!
SM: eyyy
S2: hi!
BT: Stop stealing my pupil. We are baking. I will confiscate the phone now for quality time.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): lol
SM: the tables have turned, DD.
DD: I’m not finished here.
D2: bye!
S2: lol. Oh dave. He’s still typing, fam. Don’t say bye yet.
D2: oooooh.
S3: bless
DD: Goodbye for now.
S2: there you go, Dave. Have at it.
D2: BYE
S3: Dave is my favorite.
S2: Same.
S4: Thor is my favorite.
SM: false. I am your favorite.
S4: Cap is my favorite.
SM: False.
S2: you’re still mad we went camping without you
S4: Cap doesn’t go camping without me
SM: Cap is having violent flashbacks to the 20s rn. Leave him and his fellow fossil in peace.
S4: that’s not a nice thing to say about Mr. Wilson, Webs.
SM: DON’T CALL ME THAT. YOU ARE FOUR YEARS OLD.
S4: Webs
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): satisfying, no?
S4: yes
SM: STOP.
S2: Webs. Websies.
S3: Websssss
SM: I’m going to find a MASK. I’m going to leave this HOUSE. I’m going to haul ass to the city and then I’m going to suffocate each of you individually.
S2: I’m sooooo scared. Help me, spiderman!
S3: I’m on my way
S4: No, I’m on my way.
D2: no one’s on their way, there’s a shelter order on peeps, come on now.
SM: Dave how the hell are you not sick?
D2: gym closed. Daughter got her first period. Her misery requires 24/7 attention. And am not an Idiot. Haven’t left home in a week.
SM: damn he’s good.
S3: this is why Dave is my favorite. Spidey you were exposed, weren’t you?
SM: I am climbing these fucking walls in self isolation. Yes. I can’t go home. I can’t go out. I have been shunned by all my friends. They have started calling me ‘bubble boy’ and it is mean. They are bullies. I don’t need friends, I’ve decided.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): I’ll come sit with you.
SM: …
S3: oh shit
S2: resist Spidey, it’s not worth the high blood pressure. You’re in a vulnerable state.
D2: Wade, you can’t catch it?
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): already had it.
S2: metal
S3: Christ. Was it bad?
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): on a scale of one to stage four cancer, you mean?
S3: I
S2: right. Sorry wade.
SM: Is it tho?
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): you’ve got a healing factor kiddo you’ll be fine.
SM: I mean yeah, but no one else does.
S4: I do! And Cap does. He’s not answering any messages, though. I think he’s drowning in guilt rn.
SM: oh you sweet summer child.
SM: no. He’s having flashbacks, bitsy. I’m telling you. The guy was born during the Influenza outbreak. He’s had pneumonia more times than you can count.
S4: oh.
S2: nice?
SM: not nice.
S2: on the upside, if Cap managed to live what, 25 years? of more or less constant pneumonia with medical system that thought that whiskey was a cure all, then surely we can live through this?
SM: I mean.
SM: Ironman tested Cap once during an argument to prove a point and we found out that he’s naturally immune-deficient.
S2: what
S3: oh shit
S4: how could they tell?
SM: idk not my circus not my monkeys. I think there were cell observations involved.
DD: I have returned. I do not like bread.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): war on carbs again?
SM: hiss
S2: war on carbs??? DD why?
DD: this house smells like yeast. I cannot escape.
SM: most people like that smell Red
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): ^
DD: cannot escape. Have been refused permission to open a window. Husband has become a tyrant in this pandemic
SM: no. He just knows that you’ll climb out of it if its an option.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): correct
DD: I will behave.
SM: it is the end times
S2: red if you behave then we’ll all die. Don’t do this. Fling yourself out the window.
SM: Girl, no.
DD: copy that
S4: DD no!!
S4: we love you and you don’t have a healing factor so you’ll get sick!! Think about your lung!
S3: only the one lung.
SM: only the one lung that continues to be stabbed. Think of the stabbed lung.
DD: I will behave.
BT: Hi!!
SM: hey you
S4: BT stay and chat with us
BT: Sorry!! Cannot!! Me and teach are having quality time.
SM: you guys have more quality time than any mentor-mentee set I know.
BT: it is because we love each other. I am confiscating the phone again. Husband is granting permission for dog walking.
DD: on it. Farewell, nerds.
SM: that was dirty BT.
BT:😊
BT: you guys should get some rest. Watch some videos. Have a cup of tea.
S2: BT says it like a threat.
BT: 😊 😊 😊
SM: it is a threat.
BT: if you don’t and you get my community sicker than they are then I will come home and vanquish all of you in the suit so you won’t even see it coming 😳
S2: …scary
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): Red, are you proud?
BT: he is busy. Walking the dogs.
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): oh no, you’re for real, for real
BT: 😊
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): I think…I am threatened by you, small invisible one.
SM: I think I’m going to go lay down.
S2: same
S3: I didn’t even get up!
S4: talk to you all later? Or like, when BT is gone and its safe again?
DP (´。✪ω✪。´): I think I might have to kill him
D2: oh hello, I’m back. We had minor trauma requiring a Mom-call, but we’re good now. What’s happened?
S3: God, Dave. I love you so fucking much.
Little Spidey (Pink): Hello twitter friends. Here. Take the first installment of our bullshit.
Spiderman 4.0: Just so you all know, we’re all okay so far. For your reading ease, S2 is Pink, S3 is our Tall Guy, S4 is me, DD is Daredevil, D2/Dave is our buddy holding the fort in Hell’s Kitchen, and BT is your boy Blindspot who is a social distancing dictator in these trying times.
Blindspot: Hello friends. Head on over to the Spiderpeople’s accounts for proof that everyone around Sensei is an enabler but me and his husband. We are doing the lord’s work, y’all. We deserve recognition.
