／　　i don’t use chat gpt. i Don’t get an app to write my replies for me. i look up SYNONYMS FOR DAMN NEAR EVERY WORD. AND IF THEY AREN’T TO MY LIKING, I KILL MYSELF

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀and the spider that bit you... gave you the ability to wallcrawl, shoot webs, and lay a hundred eggs at a time...? such an inspiring life story...

[— 𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧-𝙈𝙖𝙣. . . @BrandNewThwips]

I— well okay.

When I was fifteen, I got bit by a radioactive spider. Which gave me these powers. Been doing this gig for about. . . ten years now.

That’s all you’ll get out of me when it comes to that!

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀but you’re not flaming—on at the current hour, so ... you’re temporarily only human.

[𝙃𝙐𝙈𝘼𝙉 𝙏𝙊𝙍𝘾𝙃 .ᐟ @LIVINGBARBECUE]

Now wait wait wait — I am TECHNICALLY a real torch … when a flame … so.

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀hundreds ... ?! golly ... i wasn’t aware. is that why there are so many spider variants ... yuck. yuck. ew. i don’t wanna ask him anything. *̲☹️

[Rocket Raccoon @BigFlarkingGuns]

Think? I KNOW he lays eggs. Hundreds of ‘em at a time.

You should ask him all about it.

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀( * sits down. )

[— 𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧-𝙈𝙖𝙣. . . @BrandNewThwips]

It’s a very long story.

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀hmm... do you think he lays eggs, rocket?

[Rocket Raccoon @BigFlarkingGuns]

Eh. He’s a Terran who shoots webs out of his butt. Close enough.

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀i think it looks great. ^_^

[— 𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧-𝙈𝙖𝙣. . . @BrandNewThwips]

Oh, thanks!

Yeah, I’ve been wearing this costume since I was a teenager. Made some changes with it, of course.

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀well, mantis has always been mantis.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐑-𝐌𝐀𝐍. @GUILTRlDDEN]

Long story. You don’t wanna know.

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀no, the costume is cool! i meant... the endearing type of funny. like groot!

[— 𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧-𝙈𝙖𝙣. . . @BrandNewThwips]

Ouch.

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀what...?

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐑-𝐌𝐀𝐍. @GUILTRlDDEN]

Well, yes, I’m not a real spider at this very moment.

. . . I have been one, however.

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀he should just call himself Man. you’re right, Human.

[𝙃𝙐𝙈𝘼𝙉 𝙏𝙊𝙍𝘾𝙃 .ᐟ @LIVINGBARBECUE]

So hold on … If he’s NOT A REAL SPIDER, then he is just “Man”…

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀none of the guardians wear costumes. i thought you just looked funny.

[— 𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧-𝙈𝙖𝙣. . . @BrandNewThwips]

Uhm. . . yeah.

This has always been a costume!

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀WHY WOULD HE LIE TO US. ☹️

[silly catgirl vibes! 🏳️‍⚧️🌷 @cherrybIxssm]

he's NOT .ᐣ.ᐟ

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀today i learned spider—man is not a real spider.

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀costume—— wait, you’re wearing a costume?

[— 𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧-𝙈𝙖𝙣. . . @BrandNewThwips]

Well not everyday or else I wouldn’t be able to fit in my costume!

But every now and then, I grab one as a quick bite.

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀coffee and bagels... the true earth breakfast. how exciting! do you have them everyday

[— 𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧-𝙈𝙖𝙣. . . @BrandNewThwips]

They’re pretty good!

I could also go for some coffee too.

[ٍ @floramajden]

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀... you’re just giving mantis all the compliments i send your way, illyana.

[ᅠᅠᵀᴴᴱᅠ♰⁀DARKCHYLDEᅠ ᅟ @voidandrune]

i’m not sure it works like that. i think we’re both cool and pretty.

*and you’re cute.
