literally how are u supposed to write an outsider’s perspective between the ending of s2 and beginning of s3. team red goes oFF THE GRID HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PULL SILLY CONTENT IF THERES NO CONTENT TO BE SILLY ABOUT?????? perishing. rotting in my grave. it’s FINE i’ll FIGURE IT OUT :’)
Self promo of my actual favorite fic ever:
(Ao3 was attacked and I was so sad that I didn’t link an account just in case it took longer to get back online)
this is my sales pitch. HEAR ME OUT. You know how Player went to school for like One episode? And how he was a cryptid that entire time? And it ended TOO SOON? I took it upon myself to make Player attend school Earlier for even Longer. He’s always running off to do his secret tech things and his classmates try to find him online but he’s a ghost (taking after Carmen <3).
AND SPEAKING OF CARMEN. I’ve seen so many people try Twitter fics with her but they all fell through after a few chapters. SO AGAIN, It is my self-appointed duty to feed this fandom.
(also just in general, we barely get outsider POVs that aren’t associated with VILE (brainwashed Gray) or ACME (Julia and Chase) despite Carmen Sandiego being such a prominent figure (literally an international super thief))
Anyways yes pls read my fic it’s full of sillies and goofs and despite being YEARS after Carmen Sandiego ended, there’s so many of y’all??? Like wow I did not expect that many people to see this
CARMEN PETS EVERY SINGLE STRAY SHE SEES ON HER TRAVELS!!!!!! SHE STOLE A CAT THAT WAS HANGING AROUND TEAM RED’S BASE AND ADOPTED IT
Every night at a hotel, team red would put on a movie to catch Carmen up on everything her childhood left out
Julia “Jules” Argent is a fanfic writer. She has a love for knowledge, she’s good with technology, and she’s gay. Those are all the traits of someone who would ask “is anyone gonna continue this story?” then not wait for an answer. Since Carmen Sandiego is a prominent figure in that show’s world, there would be at least a Few fics written about the mysterious thief (even if none are accurate).
And that is to say,
Jules writes self-insert OC fanfiction about all her repressed feelings towards Carmen ❤️
watching Carmen Sandiego (2019) isn't enough,, I need to inject it into my blood stream
o great tumblr gods how do you resurrect a fandom years after it ended asking for a friend
Hear me out.
Yknow how Carmen has a mom, and Player is fatherless? They parent trap their two moms. Metaphorical siblings to actual siblings speedrun
ahaha fellas is it gay
Carmen uses emoticons (aka :) ;) :O :P :T ,’:| :’) variations) because Player texted her “:)” once and she lost her SHIT
She’s now on a mission to make every combination ever to exist
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego 🎶
Doing the color wheel challenge! Starting with red

SO. HEAR ME OUT.
AMPHIBIA SPIDER-MAN AU. (i’m so sorry this was gonna be an info dump but now it’s a whole ass bare-bones fic)
Now, this is loosely based on the various Spider-Man movies and lore but,
Anne gets bitten by the spider first. She indirectly lets Sprig and Polly’s parents die (instead of herons in the show, it’s Anne’s “uncle Ben” origin story) and then takes it upon herself to stop crime. To fund her gear, she gets into journalism photography of “The Spider” at Sasha’s dad’s news company, The Daily Bugle.
Sasha doesn’t like how much time Anne dedicates to tracking down the vigilante because it means she’s always cancelling plans—not because she has a crush on Anne and doesn’t want to lose her to The Spider who obviously likes her back, what are you talking about?
So of course Sasha goes after The Spider as she flees the authorities after a battle. Y’know. To protect her friend. Yeah. Sasha realizes The Spider always knows how to avoid her, which was weird, until she looked back on footage and reports of her fights and realized she had a instinctual knowledge of her surroundings. And she gives up the chase
Until a few weeks later, when she finally understands why it all sounded so familiar. That was exactly what Oscorp was testing on a live sample before they reported it had escaped and kicked their tour group out. Once she had saturday’s afternoon free, Sasha went to their facility to “finish her tour” (cough—snoop on their projects—cOUGH).
As she neared the lab that had caused everything to shut down, she made sure to squeeze as many details out of the tour guide as she could. Apparently, her father’s no-isn’t-an-answer demeanor paid off, since their tour time ran out before they could move past the spider lab.
Sasha, content with the outcome, headed home without a glance back. Until something bit her. She then went through a horrible fever and woke up the next day with spider powers.
Welp. Time to be a superhero. (Definitely not to meaningfully threaten The Spider to stay away from Anne.)
(And definitely not to make Anne like her, Silkrider, more than The Spider.)
Marcy was concerned about her friends. They both had panic attacks in the cafeteria—she lent them her noise cancelling headphones before they could spiral too far—and they’ve been constantly on edge even in the quietest of classrooms. Marcy made sure to eat outside, bring extra fidgets and gift them a pair of her headphones to help them feel at ease. Still, she couldn’t help but wonder what changed their behavior.
Now, despite what everyone believes, Marcy can be very observant of her surroundings when she wants to be. So when Anne and Sasha start pushing their dorm curfew to barely minutes before lights out, Marcy took note. Even when they’re back early, they shut themselves in their rooms for hours on end. Still, not terrible. And then they started limping. Not for long, and not concerningly frequent, but enough to make Marcy worried.
Marcy let everything slide for a few months until that one night she heard multiple crashes and curses from Anne’s room. She finally confronted Anne, ready to yell at her to stop going outside and doing whatever it was that hurts her—but then realized Anne was bleeding. Anne made some (admittedly weak) excuse about getting too close when photographing The Spider. Marcy sighed and started to bring out the first aid kit.
From then on, Marcy used her father’s money and inventions to help supply them with tools to keep them safe. She even tried to tag along and be another pair of eyes, but any time a battle would break out, she’d lose her friends in the commotion. It was fine, they always came back to the dorm—even if some days it was with a black eye instead of photographs.
And then it wasn’t fine. This attack was much bigger than usual. The entire city was being torn apart block by block. Marcy tried to look for her friends in the chaos, but they had dissapeared again. Just as she thought she might be too close to the danger zone, she felt a sharp, overwhelming pain and immediately passed out.
As the battle ended, The Spider and Silkrider went through the fallen buildings, trying to hear for any heartbeats of trapped civilians. Both of them zeroed in on an incredibly faint one near the edge of the rubble. They called the paramedics over, but a large figure got to them first. It was Marcy’s father, Andrias.
He immediately took her to his laboratory, knowing this was the only chance they had. He quickly opened the canister to the symbiote, The Night. After some quick negotiation, The Night fused with Marcy, and her vitals stabilized. It was experimental, but it saved her life. Her wristband vitals tracker (initially for panic attacks) had alerted him that she was in danger, and he had gotten there just in time.
As Marcy woke up, she was immediately tackled by Sasha and Anne. They sat and cried and promised to never get into danger ever again. Once they left for the night, her father came in and explained what he had done to save her. The Night finally made himself known, effectively making Marcy go into an hour long Q&A session before having a breakdown over sharing everything about her life with another conciousness.
In the end, the two of them made an arrangement and lived fairly peacefully.
Until The Night posessed her after curfew to follow “the bushy-haired roommate” as she snuck out of the window. Since they were bonded forever, Marcy agreed to occasional nighttime possessions as long as she wasn’t woken up. She was woken up.
Although she shouldn’t spy on one of her her best friends, it’s a little too late now. Marcy stopped outside the alleyway and waited for Anne to start negotiating an illegal dealing or information leak, but she was surprisingly quiet. Until The Spider leaped out and started to swing through the city.
Huh.
That’s,, not what she was expecting.
But, looking back, it makes so much more sense.
Afterwards, Marcy quickly connected that Sasha was Silkrider. Now, Marcy wasn’t bitten by a radioactive spider, but she does have a very cool symbiote that basically works as a superhero origin so why not.
The two of them started training to work as a singular entity, and then went out on the streets. Due to their short fusion duration, they stuck to quick patrols and dissapeared as soon as the job was done.
Which gave them a scary reputation... until The Night posessed Marcy to dumpsterdive for chicken nuggets at 3 am, got caught, hissed at the sudden light, and climbed up the wall, disappearing into the night.
Once she woke up and saw it was trending, Marcy made an amendment to their arrangement.
When they went on their next patrol, they finally introduced themselves as “Nightmare” to the spider duo in front of the press. It was... a mixed reaction. (“HOLY FUCK YOU’RE REAL??” “i don’t trust you.”)
After a while, Marcy finally got their fusion steady enough to stick around after battles. It was during this time they complained about their homework, wondering how the other two finished their physics homework on time. The Spider snorted at the thought of completing homework. Silkrider, on the other hand, froze.
She asked how Nightmare knew what class she took, and why Spider answered them so easily. The Spider then realized she never told either about her school. Nightmare sat in confusion since how would they not know they were working together? They both snuck out at the same time? They’re roommates?
Silkrider realized it first. She got up and swung away. The Spider realized right after and promptly freaked out. Nightmare felt their time was running out, so they quickly fled as well.
No one left their rooms that night. In the morning, Sasha and Anne tried ignoring each other as much as they could. Marcy finally dragged the three of them somewhere alone and talked it out, starting with how she got her powers. The others joined in with their stories and the tension was broken.
Until Anne asked why Andrias had a symbiote sitting in his lab.
Marcy... didn’t have an answer.
Sasha remembered a rejected story about military investors asking around for Oscorp superhuman rip-offs. It was too unrealistic—superheroes? really?—but looking back, she doesn’t think it’s too fictional anymore.
They set up their red string and started connecting the dots. There was too much proof to sweep this under the rug. They had to confront Andrias.
Marcy called on her father’s bodyguard, Yunan, and his secretary, Olivia, to ask if they knew anything about his latest inventions—especially about the experiment he used to save her. They reported that they didn’t actually know.
The three girls (plus The Night) decided to sneak in and find out for themselves.
They were met with Andrias’s intensive studies on the genetically enchanted spider people. And then Andrias himself. Since they broke in, he brought it upon himself to make sure they could never get out.
Marcy quickly realized he had bonded with another symbiote and warned the others. They fought as best as they could, but it was ultimately the unstable fusion between himself and his forced symbiote that led to his defeat.
Olivia had called the authorities once she heard the fight. Yunan made her way down into the labs and helped the girls get to a safe place.
In the end, Andrias regained conciousness in prison, Marcy got adopted by Olivia and Yunan, and the Spider trio continued to save New York.
And The Night finally asked why Marcy wasn’t going on dates with the other two, which led to her realizing she had crushes on both of her friends—as civilians and superheroes—so she asked both of them out ontop of the empire building. She immediately fell off once they said yes.
