don't see it coming though it's routine

[wishfulclicking]

It's been over a month and a half without nothing on here. I'm not shocked but I don't like leaving this journal bare. I have been commenting on some posts but still...so--

Currently watching Teen Wolf, SYTYCD, Awkward., Suits

Movies viewed: Prometheus, The Amazing Spiderman both I liked despite some flaws.

Music: Have had Marina and the Diamonds' Electra Heart, Lana Del Rey, Chemical Brothers, and tracks from The Hood Internet on constant rotation, with a bit of Amy Winehouse and Fun. thrown in. I want to have those two albums as a soundtrack to a story I haven't written or read.

Sports: still watching Tennis (Wimbledon was historic today, though I will always feel bad for Murray and have the belief he will win at least one Slam at some point), did watch Olympic Qualifying for Swimming and Gymnastics and definitely plan to tune in this summer.

Books: My reading has dropped off considerably. I would be surprised if the same thing hadn't happened last year.

Why do you have to wait?

I had to go alone because nobody close to me was interested/had the time to go, but I enjoyed it. Are you a big fan of Spiderman? I do hope you like it and I'd talk with you about it after you see it. I'm already watching to see if any fic for it pops up (some kink memes have and some on AO3, and I need to go ahead and see if there is any more)

[doctor_jasley]

I'm going to see it the first time with my sister...but we have vacation starting tuesday and we're going to visit with my aunt(the schedule is full). So my sister is taking me as soon as we get back.

I'm a HUGE spidey fan, man. I don't know ALLLLLL the comic canons or all the animated films/cartoon's canon, but I know bits and pieces of almost everything.

OOOOSSS, I shall have to go looking for fic also. I know I plan on writing somthing with Peter Parker/Spiderman in it for my Marvel bb(if I ever get a chance to write it)

I'm hoping that if the movie is at least as good as the trailers, I'll be happy.

NERDY, Introverted PETER PARKER for the win

I grew up with the afterschool Spiderman cartoon so when the first trilogy came out I was all in but the third's handling of venom disappointed me. When they announced this reboot I was suspicious until I saw who was handling it and then when I saw the first main trailer, I was sold to give it a chance. No spoilers: but it did live up and surpass my admittedly low expectations. It was fun, and is a different take that has a strength in its character interactions. This Peter is less clean than Tobey Maguire's, in the sense that he's more standalone and less helpless, less outwardly awkward. Emma Stone is a good Gwen Stacy as well. I was surprised how much I liked them together because the absence of MJ was upsetting to me at first.

So that's spiderkink, and the avengerkink meme also currently accepts prompts. I've read some good (though short) stuff and I'm hoping some epic length fic gets made.

[doctor_jasley]

I did as well. When Spiderman came out in 2002 I was all YYAYYYY SPIDERMAN. But my 3 I was alll NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. But then again I was unhappy with the Doc. Oct. storyline because I just KNEW it meant we'd never get The Lizard(which while I LOVVVEEE Venom...The Lizard is a personal fave)

When I first heard about the reboot, I was a cross between happy and worried. But I saw the first teaser trailer...and no lie I went WAIT...IT LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE WEBSHOOTERS!!!!!!!...then watched the trailer on a bigger screen and slow-moed it...YEP WEBSHOOTERS and since then(plus Andrew's teased at performance...along with THE LIZARD AS VILLAIN) I've officially been on board.

YAYS that it was better than you expected. Also, *fistpump* this is the Peter parker we were lacking...no offense to Tobey. Like I still enjoythe first two spiderman films but I remember seeing the first trailer going "THAT"..and "I didn't know anyone could be more Peter Parkery but Andrew hints at that here"

I'm not a big fan of MJ...unless it's the early run of Ultimate Spiderman...but then Gwen shows up and promptly steals my attention away. So it's good to know the Gwen/Peter is GOOD.

OOOSS LINKAGE. Thank you will look at after work. Stupid work getting in the way of all the fun.

[wishfulclicking]

I want to high five you through the screen right now! I was so pleased by Andrew's performance, I was grinning so hard.

Yeah, I liked/loved the first two Spiderman films but Tobey's Peter never felt like the Peter I was familiar with. This Peter really does and I just hope they don't fall prey to whatever happened to the third in the prior trilogy.

[doctor_jasley]

YAYYSSS*highfives*...this is SUPPPPPER EXCELLENT TO HEAR.

I guess I never thought of it much like that until I had a basis to compare his performance to(even if I'm only using the trailers....which I guess says SOMETHING in and of itself) I think I was just soo stoked that we got a Peter Parker even if it was one that felt more like an actor pretending to be Spidey/Peter

hopefully Mark won't pull a Ramie....it makes me wonder if We'll get to see the Black Cat/Felicia, or Craven the hunter. It would be cool to see them.

<3

I completely feel you on just being happy that the first trilogy existed. When that one came out there were questions if it would do well since Spiderman was not as well known as Batman or Superman in the States and it came out before superhero movies were mostly proven box office winners. It did give us that classic upside down kiss, for which I am forever thankful, but I am very much ready to embrace this new version.

Did you know there is talk of a Venom movie? It's just a possibility now but I do wonder if they are going to try it again in this universe or what. Right now the director of Chronicle is attached.

[doctor_jasley]

EXACTLY. Also, without the 2002 Spiderman and X-Men(mostly...not including other titles that helped) we wouldn't have had the foundation for Superhero movies in the new mil.(like okay Superman back in the 70's and Batman in the 80-90's also helped)

I WANT TO EMBRACE THIS REBOOT WITH OPEN ARMS.

I did, I don't know what to think because from what I hear, they want to make Eddie/Venom an anit-hero, champion of the weak and down-trodden where he's/they're only the bad guy when Spidey shows up.

SO....while I want a venom movie...IDK if I can get on that bandwagon...though it would be an interesting TWIST.

We'll see...but first. PLEASE NO RECASTING OF TOPHER GRACE AS EDDIE....JUST PLEASEEEE NOOOOOOOOOOO

[wishfulclicking]

Have you seen Chronicle it was a pretty good film telling an original superpowers story.

I just have never really imagined a Venom standalone film, like it could work, I guess, but I'm trying to think of how.

[doctor_jasley]

it's on my list. I plan to watch it soon.

And you have a point. IDK..it will be interesting to see how they do/don't go for it

[wishfulclicking]

I'd assume they'd introduce the character in the reboot universe again, but then I wonder if they'd want to do that in fear of retreading ground that the first trilogy did.

[doctor_jasley]

well, honestly...if the reboot is going the direction I think it is from what I've heard/seen in the trailers...it's possible they could introduce Venom in the second one in a way that doesn't exactly retread any more than the general Idea of Venom.

SO, IDK

[wishfulclicking]

After you see the film, are you going to post on your ideas? Also, there's a scene at the end, so stay past the credits.

[doctor_jasley]

IDK...I guess it depends on if I remember..I will at least come back here to this thread and poke you. Because SPIDERMAN SQUEE....on lj and twitter I don't really have anyone to Spidey/Peter Parker squee with.

It's all AVENGERS...which okay I ENJOYED A LOT...but SPIDERMANNNNNNNN

and THANK YOU...I enjoy knowing if there's an end scene. Also it gives me hope that Marvel/Disney and Son could come up with a partnership for a Spidey/Avengers crossover(I am that nerdy, yes)

[wishfulclicking]

Definitely come back or message me. I love Spiderman squee, most of it I follow on tumblr or on the kink meme but I want more! Seriously, I can even discuss the things you may not like. It doesn't have to be all positive.

[doctor_jasley]

SPIDERMAN SQUEE IS THE BEST SQUEE...like I know most nerdlings are waiting for Batman on the 20th...(which okay I also am) but I'm more SPIDERMAN than BATMAN(though Batman is up near the top still)

OOOS, hopefully there won't be much I hate.

Sidenote...I need to actually go browse the kink meme. I really want an AU/Crossover with the SYFY mini-series Neverland...because Rhys was Jame Hook in that. and fuckkkk why can't I stoppp thinking that. *facepalm*

[wishfulclicking]

You could prompt it if you don't want to write it. I totally forgot about that. I've been trying to think of how to tie in previous Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone roles but mostly just daydreaming.

[doctor_jasley]

this is sooo true...but I'm also trying to sit on it because what if I could do some type of weird au/fusion/crossover...because HELLO PETER PAN...PP*facepalm*

OOOS that would be awesome...sidenote apparently over o au bb on lj someone wrote TSN/Spiderman/Avengers fic..Idk if it'll be anygood I only glanced at the summaries.

[wishfulclicking]

Alternate Universe Big Bang?

[doctor_jasley]

BINGO...the summaries are locked to betas/authors/artists/and cheerleaders(I've been a cheerleader since year one)though...which suckks ass.

[wishfulclicking]

Do you know when they start posting? I'm mostly trying to find Spiderman fic written after the movie came out. I have read one TSN/Spiderman crossover before with the Eduardo character being bit by a spider in the TSN timeline, but now that the movie has its own canon I want to see it integrated.

[doctor_jasley]

I'm hoping there will be FIC....LOTS OF FIC...if anything could pull me into writing Marvel anything, it would be Spiderman.

posting starts aug 8th

and I agree I want to see how everything works out with the movie...might be why I've waited to write my MBB...though that's also because I'm busy as crap with bandom stories and a Peter Pan serial killer story so...yeah there's that

[wishfulclicking]

Like Peter Pan Disney or Peter Pan Syfy or Hook?

[doctor_jasley]

like a mixing of the original novel(via wiki info...not by you know actually reading the book) and the syfy mini-series

It's kinda a victorian era detective story

[wishfulclicking]

That sounds pretty cool. DO you post your stories to DW and LJ or also to archives like AO3 or FF.net?

[doctor_jasley]

just about everything I write is posted on DW though I do have an AO3 account under this name. I only have 12 fics uploaded there.

The Peter Pan sk story is for SK BB unless I decide to dropout and finish it for posting without a challenge attached to it. *SHRUGS*...it's at 14.4k and only needs about 2k left...I had to put it aside so I could write my bbb

[doctor_jasley]

Soo....SPiderman was EPIC AND AWESOME AND I NEED TO SEE IT A THIRD TIME. Also I'm tired so I can't think on what to talk about othr than SOO MUCH LOVE
