The Arachkids (tm)

Summary:

Milesperhour: hi

Snaredrum: hey question did you just make a fucking interdimensional groupchat

Milesperhour: yeah

Snaredrum: holy shit

Snaredrum: nice

-

Miles makes a groupchat with some other spiderkids, and surely putting overpowered teenagers together with little to no supervision will not result in anything negative or chaotic at all

Notes:

this movie has me by the THROAT and i 1. can't draw all the time bc my hands hurt and 2. have serious writers block for anything that isn't a shitpost. so have the fic equivalent of a shitpost

will there be actual plot? who knows!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Dear diary.

 

Today was great! Got a little bit scary with the building falling, but apparently Spider-Man made an appearance! Wild! I hear that guy has totally amazing hair. Now I am going to do my homework :) 



-

 

Dear real diary, 

 

I HATED today. Oh my god. It was so stressful - WHO’S IDEA WAS IT TO HAVE AN ENTIRE WARDROBE OF SCISSORS THAT FELL ON ME AS I WAS WEBBING THE BUILDING???? Yes, that lady was a seamstress, and she was very apologetic, but there’s gotta be a point where that many scissors is a choice. I don’t think my hair got ruined, but I know it’s unlikely. Maybe I’ll have to pull a Gwen and shave half of it off. Ugh, I hope not. I don’t think I could pull it off. I don't wanna be emo!!!

Milesperhour, snaredrum, punktactics, chaichaiteatea

-i don't speak spanish either. the only time a language is gonna be 100% accurate is if it's english or swahili

-i'm usually a dc writer so this does mildly feel like betraying my country

Hobie Brown

never apologise for mayday

Dear diary,

 

Geyatri broke up with me today. I don’t know how to feel. I think I’m happy because it’s not that I was a bad boyfriend, or that she got bored of me, and it was to do with herself. But I’m also devastated, in a way. It feels really selfish to be sad about that, because she’s discovering herself and all, but I am sad. I really liked her.



-

 

Dear real diary,

 

I think the real reason Geyatri broke up with me is because I’m Spider-Man. 

 

She’s always been super perceptive, and whilst I don’t think she knows exactly, I think she’s suspicious enough to not trust me. 

 

I feel awful. Is being Spider-Man even worth it if no one can trust you? If you can’t trust anyone?

The arachkids

 

Pav: i’m watching hobie try to figure out how to make chai this is wonderful

 

Pav: it's like watching a baby horse try to run

 

gwen: you let the british person make tea, he might be alright

 

Milesperhour: no no british tea and chai are different

 

Pav: he’s pretending not to struggle this is fun

 

Pav: legally i can’t help him i’m in blanket mode ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯

 

gwen: i can see that

 

Pav: you’re also at my window aren’t you

 

Milesperhour: we might be

 

Milesperhour: pls let us in

 

Pav: okayyy

 

Pav: YOU ACTUALLY BROUGHT THE SHARK

 

gwen: ofc i did

Milesperhour: yeah,,,,

 

gwen: how did that go

 

Milesperhour: he was surprisingly nice

 

Milesperhour: just was giving Very Pointed Looks when dad mentioned his job

 

Milesperhour: they were mostly really interested in his accent lol but i doubt he’s gonna be invited over again soon

 

Milesperhour: at least he called them Mr and Ms Morales which is better than you did

 

gwen: HOW WAS I MEANT TO KNOW

 

Milesperhour: it’s fiiiine we just gotta train you for the next time you meet my parents

 

gwen: train??? 😭

Miguel,

 

¿Puedo ir a una misión con Gwen? ¿Por favor? ¿Por favor? Te estoy rogando.

 

Miles 



-



Miles,

 

Please stop emailing me in Spanish, if you do not want me to criticise your grammar, you will continue the standard of emailing in English. 

 

And requesting a mission with Gwen is only going to make it more likely that I will not put you on a team together.

 

Miguel.

The arachkids

 

gwen: coming out to Miguel as trans today lets hope he doesn’t kick me out of the spider society ✌️

Milesperhour: old boy clothes?

 

gwen: yeah?

 

gwen: miles. Miles i’m transfem

 

gwen: like a boy going to a girl

 

Milesperhour: OH

 

Milesperhour: OKAY

Pav: you had a whole realisation about being bisexual for nothing huh

 

gwen: oh congrats on the sexuality

 

Milesperhour: t h a n k s

Snaredrum: ofc 

 

Snaredrum: i’ve got a winter coat too 

 

punktactics: thanks love

 

punktactics: my local shelter is closing down

 

Snaredrum: oh god, hobie i’m so sorry

 

punktactics: it’s fine, i won’t be sleeping rough

 

punktactics: i got other shelters if theyre not full

 

punktactics: i can beg a room off miguel if i don’t mind disrespecting myself

 

punktactics: worse case scenario i can couch surf or find a squat

 

Snaredrum: what do you think will happen?

 

punktactics: couch surfing

 

punktactics: most shelters won’t take you for more than a night my last one was just class

 

Snaredrum: there’s always an empty bed in my old place if you need it

 

punktactics: i know

 

punktactics: thanks gwendy



-



Miguel

 

i’ll do extra missions or whatever you want for a bit if i can have a room. shelter is getting shut down

 

Hobie



-



Hobie,

 

Staying for more than a few days in a dimension that is not your own is not medically recommended, it is with great regret that I can’t give you a room to stay in. Is there anything I can do to provide a safe place to sleep in your own dimension?

 

Kind regards,

Miguel

The arachkids

 

punktactics: miguel is the worst and i hate him.

 

punktactics: miles go murder him

 

Milesperhour: no

 

Milesperhour: why is he the worst?

 

punktactics: reasons. 

 

gwen: ah i think i can guess

 

Pav: oh miles do you not -

 

Pav: hobie do you wanna tell him?

 

Milesperhour: tell me what??

 

punktactics: ugh okay so i’m homeless

 

Milesperhour: oh

 

punktactics: yeah

 

punktactics: miguel wouldn’t give me a room and i can’t find any decent shelters so i’m currently hunting for a decent place to squat

 

punktactics: because of dimension medical shit

 

Milesperhour: i’m coming to your dimension

 

Milesperhour: extra set of eyes wouldn’t hurt

 

punktactics: you don’t have to do that

 

Pav: i’ll come too

 

gwen: might as well make it a group thing

 

Milesperhour: crime is bad but like what if we stole a mattress

 

punktactics: i have a foam one

 

gwen: it’s like two inches thick and has holes in it

 

gwen: we’re getting you a new one

 

Milesperhour: god your dimension is so weird to look at

 

Milesperhour: okay i’m coming to find you where you at?

 

Pav: found him!

 

punktactics: bruv seriously

 

gwen: we are getting you a safe place to sleep

Pav: which is annoying bc i normally want to kiss friends but Geyatri and i COULD for a bit and now we can’t >:(

 

punktactics: you normally want to kiss your friends?

 

Pav: some of them

 

punktactics: i think that just means you have a crush on them

 

Pav: maybe (✿˶’◡˘)♡

 

Pav: do you not want to kiss your friends?

 

punktactics: nah

 

punktactics: unless i wanted them to be the missus yk

Dear real diary,

 

I need to text Geyatri. Oh my god. I’m… holy shit. I think I have a crush on one of my best friends. Oh my god. 

 

Nope nope nope nope nopenopenopenope not happening, I cannot be Spider-Man, dealing with my breakup, AND have a crush on someone. Too much on my plate. And I don’t have time for a SEXUALITY crisis on top of all this. 

 

I am going to bury this in a nice little box in the back of my mind and never think about it again :)

Hobie have you seen the letter Mayday wrote MJ and me?

 

Hobie Brown

Peter B. Parker

Hobie Brown

Exactly

 

Hobie Brown

Anyway nah what’d it say?

 

Peter B. Parker

Well she very politely asked us to adopt you

 

Peter B. Parker

Obviously we aren’t going to do that, you’re nearly an adult and likely have parents of your own

 

Hobie Brown

Peter B. Parker

But I thought it was very cute.

 

Hobie Brown

Pav: i want it known Hobie is the worst client ever

 

Pav: and he can’t tell you i’m wrong bc his hands are still wet.

gwen: oh you do henna?

 

Pav: yeah sorta

gwen: what’re you drawing on him?

 

Pav: mostly just patterns 

 

Pav: gonna try and put my spider in the middle of his hand >:3

Milesperhour: sure! I can help you practice routines and stuff

 

gwen: i’d love that!

gwen: boo you whore

 

Milesperhour: ITS NOT LIKE THAT

 

Milesperhour: anyway how would it be gay we’re a guy and a girl-

 

punktactics: you’re both bi. Kinda gay to me

 

Pav: he’s only allowed one hand since most of his left has dried btw

 

Pav: hobie if you smudge this i’m going to find Gayatri and we will work together to destroy you down to a molecular level.

 

punktactics: oh

 

punktactics: ftr he was smiling brightly whilst saying that i’m terrified of him

 

Milesperhour: wait isn’t her name spelt Geyatri??

 

Pav: hm? No it’s Gayatri

 

Pav: can you imagine if the author made an easy mistake like that?

 

Milesperhour: the who?

 

Pav: oh i like that band! 

 

punktactics: miles did you listen to that album yet

 

Milesperhour: yeah i did! A few questions

 

punktactics: shoot

 

Milesperhour: 1. What are bollocks. 

 

Milesperhour: 2. Why does the audio sound like it was recorded on a literal brick

 

Milesperhour: 3. I thought punk music was meant to be hardcore?

 

punktactics: one, look it up. Two, cause it’s old, and three, it is. For the time. 

 

punktactics: sex pistols were like 70’s dude, the hardest thing going on music wise was like. Led zeppelin

 

Milesperhour: huh fair i guess

 

Milesperhour: i didn’t hate it, i just don’t think it’s quite my thing

 

punktactics: hmmm

 

punktactics: how about the ramones

Milesperhour: OH?

 

Milesperhour: which part?

 

punktactics: forest hills

Milesperhour: i’m sure they’re still good!

 

punktactics: lmao fair

 

gwen: okay i know what i’m about to say is gross because he’s old and we hate him 

 

Pav: oh no

 

gwen: has anyone else noticed how fucking TINY miguel’s waist is????

Milesperhour: yeah he wears a waist trainer

 

gwen: he WHAT

 

Pav: a waist trainer?????

 

punktactics: i don’t wanna know why you was looking at his draws

 

Milesperhour: he was giving me some uniform regulations he had in mind (like for practicality and stuff) and he isn’t a fan of jackets and stuff over suits

 

Milesperhour: so i asked him jokingly if we had to have an underwear code as well and he just Looked at me

 

Milesperhour: and said “i’m wearing a corset right now, so, that’s not a bad idea” and i just

 

Milesperhour: idk how i’m meant to cope with this information

 

gwen: why did he tell you that

punktactics: oh have fun

 

Milesperhour: can’t wait for you to discover which flavour of white you are!

 

gwen: my surname isn’t from anywhere in particular bc it’s derived from a personal name, so no points there.

Milesperhour: huh i’ve never actually thought about where my surname is from

 

Pav: oo look it up!

 

Milesperhour: okay it’s spanish no surprises there

Milesperhour: hobie’s full name is Hobart?

Milesperhour: oh god they’re too cute together

 

Milesperhour: anyway, Peni your name is just an alternate spelling of Penny right?

Milesperhour: it comes from penelope and means weaver

 

kumopeni: like a SPIDER

 

Pav: also like penelope from greek mythos!

Milesperhour: …you practically glow in the dark you’re so white

 

gwen: turns out i’m romani…?

 

punktactics: oh cool

 

Pav: fun! What’s romani?

 

gwen: well they’re like an ethnic group that migrated out of india and into europe during the middle ages (according to wikipedia bc i just found out about this) and turns out no one can agree if roma people are white or not?

 

punktactics: one of us

 

Pav: ONE OF US

Notes:

DISCLAIMER: gwen as far as i'm aware isn't roma in the comics, however, I'M romani, and because i love her, she's getting hit with the romanification beam. and yes, roma people can look white, but whether or not we /are/ white is up for us and our communities to decide, so no arguing!

Peter B. Parker

Do you wanna talk about it?

 

Hobie Brown

What about how i’m homeless

 

Hobie Brown

What’s there to talk about

 

Peter B. Parker

Look, don’t take this as a pity thing, because it’s not. If anything, it’s convenient for me.

 

Peter B. Parker

We have a spare room in the apartment. If you want, you can pay rent, or look after Mayday for ‘payment’ or whatever, but you can just come stay. 

 

Hobie Brown

Miguel said it’s a bad idea to stay in another dimension for extended periods of time. For like medical reasons

 

Peter B. Parker

Fuck what Miguel thinks. 

 

Peter B. Parker

MJ wants an excuse to buy some new furniture as it is.

 

Hobie Brown

Miles Morales

Peter B. Parker

Thanks, Miles.

Dear diary

 

Today was a good day! One of my friends who had a shaky housing situation is staying with a friend for the time being, and he can stay for as long as he wants. I’m really glad that he’s okay. He’s going to be babysitting the friend’s daughter as ‘payment’, because he’s the type of person who won’t take anything he hasn’t felt like he’s earnt.

 

He’s adorable with Mayday, I feel like melting whenever I see the two of them together. He’s absolutely Mayday’s biggest fan, and I love knowing that Mayday will be absolutely fine no matter what, because Hobie’s looking after her.

 

That’s one of my favourite things about Hobie - he CARES. He’s an anarchist because he cares, he hates cops because he cares, he’s spi special because he CARES about people, and he cares about me too. He’s really something else.

 

-



Dear real diary.

 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I’M SO FUCKING GAY OH GOD

 

Every time I see Hobie’s stupid handsome face I want to SCREAM and cover him in kisses and hold his hand and paint his nails and fall asleep next to him and

 

This is becoming a PROBLEM

 

Notes:

another disclaimer !! peni as far as i'm aware doesn't have fibromyalgia but once again, i do. so here comes the headcanon cannon. i also did cry when i saw sun spider in the movie because i was literally in my wheelchair whilst watching

Chapter 7

Notes:

punktactics: more weird things, peter taught me blackjack and we played for like an hour

Pav: i think.

 

Pav: @Milesperhour is this what parents do?

 

Milesperhour: yeah

 

Milesperhour: well maybe not that specifically but like bonding time is normal

sorry for the random fridge note

Stepped in and you weren’t home

Meet me at our spot

Dear Diary,

 

I hung out with Gayatri again today! We talked some stuff out, and it honestly felt really good to get everything off my chest. I didn’t realise how much I was bottling up about being sp school, and my friends, and life in general. I’m glad even though we’re not dating anymore, she’s still my best friend.

 

Plus, she has a girlfriend now! It’s Meera Jain, from school! I didn’t know she was into girls, but they seem really happy together! Apparently, they’ve already kissed. Which, come on, that’s a little unfair. It took me a month to kiss Gayatri and Meera does it in two weeks?!

 

She does give my hair a run for its money, though…

 

Wait. Is Gayatri’s type good hair?




 



Dear real diary,

 

Gayatri knew I was Spider-Man for MONTHS. And I never realised. I think I might be mildly stupid, but Miles assures me that this is normal. Spiders are incredibly smart, until it comes to normal life. 

 

But it felt really really good to finally talk about it. And of course I can talk to my friends, or any other spider person about it, but it’s not really… the same as being able to tell someone who’s just… normal. 

 

Turns out, she didn’t break up with me because I’m Spider-Man, so that’s a relief. I do owe her a few swings around Mumbattan, though, which is honestly understandable. I’d want a few too. 

 

And I might have told her about my teeny tiny crush on Hobie. And she might’ve gotten really excited. And now she and Hobie can never meet because she will try and matchmake us. Which I’ve been trying to do myself, BY THE WAY. He’s just been going through a lot - moving dimensions, getting adopted, finally eating right, flirting just doesn’t seem appropriate at the moment. When he’s settled that’s when I'll turn the charm up to eleven.

 

And I am really glad he’s eating more. I never wanted to comment on it, because it seemed really rude, but he was really, really skinny before. And he’d get these terrible headaches, and have really low energy at the end of a mission. He’s filling out a bit more, he doesn’t have headaches as often, and he’s somehow more energetic than before. I still keep a few packets of painkillers in my pockets, but I’m glad they’re not for him anymore. Still, though, I have the urge to make him food all the time. 

 

Oh NO. I’m turning into Maya Auntie!!!




 



Miles42 → Milesperhour

 

Miles42: Is this working?

 

Milesperhour: yep it came through!!

 

Milesperhour: sup kilometres

 

Miles42: Te destriparé.

 

Milesperhour: can you even reach me

 

Miles42: Oh, wow, you understood me. You must’ve been paying attention in class for once.

 

Milesperhour: shut up like you have time to attend school properly as the prowler

 

Miles42: I do, actually. 

 

Miles42: I just do all of my work at night. 

 

Milesperhour: ugh god that’s. Really smart i wish more villains were considerate

 

Miles42: Villain? Is that all I am to you?

 

Milesperhour: you’re a funhouse mirror reflection of me

 

Miles42: Imagine how I felt seeing you for the first time.

 

Miles42: As fun as ruining your self esteem is,

 

Milesperhour: Mayday called my hair cool it literally cannot get higher

 

Miles42: I do not know who that is. Anyway, wasn’t there a reason for this conversation? 

 

Miles42: A reason named, oh, I don’t know, Gwen Stacy?

 

Milesperhour: HAH WHAT? HUH? WHO’S GWEN

 

Milesperhour: NO, no the person i’m wanting to ask out is

 

Milesperhour: Gw

 

Milesperhour: Gwanda.

 

Miles42: Gwanda.

 

Milesperhour: yep.

 

Miles42: Convincing. 

 

Milesperhour: UGH OKAY FINE its gwen

 

Miles42: Should I pretend to be shocked?

 

Milesperhour: no it’ll just feel patronising :/ 

 

Milesperhour: how. How do i ask a girl out

 

Miles42: Hm.

 

Miles42: Well, have you tried the shoulder touch?

 

Milesperhour: literally second time i ever met her

 

Miles42: Well, I’m all out of ideas.

 

Milesperhour: HOW

 

Milesperhour: you have so much more self confidence than me how come you’ve got no idea what you’re doing????

 

Miles42: Yes, I’ll just ask out a girl who will ask why I’m always out in the middle of the night, potentially discover the multiple weapons under my bed, or realise that I know how to disarm a bomb for a reason.

 

Milesperhour: …what was the reason

 

Miles42: The microwave exploded and singed off half my hair. Uncle Aaron made me learn

 

Milesperhour: HAH

 

Milesperhour: oh NO we really are the same person

 

Miles42: What gave it away?

 

Milesperhour: shut up kilometres im having a moment here

 

Miles42: Have you tried actually just asking her?

 

Miles42: “Hey Gwen, I think you’re really cute, would you like to go on a date sometime?” 

 

Milesperhour: no i’d die

 

Miles42: I’ll try and make your funeral.

 

Milesperhour: FINE i will CONSIDER IT

 

Miles42: Thank you. Speaking of which, did the shoulder touch ever go well for you?

 

Milesperhour: no i think it’s cursed


Miles42: Agreed.

 

 

Notes:
