[Video] An accidental, personal rant

[mysterioisthetruth]

[warning: threads could potentially contain manipulation, emotional abuse, violence]

[In complete rejection of the vulnerability within himself - the sadness and weakness that he felt his unwanted shadow version had projected - Beck has become more unstable, spurred on by the feeling of lacking control. He's been working with his tech and while frantically pushing buttons, he's accidentally switched on to broadcast.]

Okay, let's do this one more time...

[He's speaking to the side, at something not seen by the camera. His voice is tense.]

It isn't enough that you made me feel like I was this small.

[His fingers close down to nothingness.]

No, not even that small. That I didn't exist.

Or that it felt like I was dead and gone and still should only be spoken about as a waste of space.

No. No, no no...

[He shakes his head, grimacing and the tension is starting to boil up and over.]

No, now you have to bring that into it--

[He points at something again out of camera range.]

Something that really, really shouldn't exist. I'm past that. I'm better than that. Despite your best efforts to keep me invisible, I'm not. People see me. People know who I am, for better or... for worse.

[He clenches his jaw at those words, fists forming at his sides.]

I'm noticed. That's what's important here.

Right? Right?

[His voice is rising, passionately angry.]

I am a known entity. I am Mysterio!

[He makes a grand sweeping gesture and his formerly regular clothing instantly transforms and reveals he's actually wearing his flashy hero suit.]

This is who I am now. It's who I'm meant to be - and you are not going to stop me. Not by your words. Not by your memory. Nothing you can do can stop me.

[He's glaring angrily past the camera then he raises his hands, green energy forming around them. His voice is quieter but now deadly.]

I should have killed you in more than just a story.

[And he lets the energy flash across the room in a bright, destructive blast. The shock of it is enough to jar the device and cut off the feed.]

[ Peter is no tzaddik, okay. He has limits, and he's reaching one of them. This is so frustrating. ]

I'm 99% sure you just butt dialed the network. It happens, man.

[mysterioisthetruth]

So you're blaming me?

[made_up_names]

Technically, I'm blaming your butt. Or however you accidentally turned this on.

[mysterioisthetruth]

....

[He sighs.]

This is... such a mess.

[made_up_names]

Yeah. It's rough having people come after you on social media, isn't it.

[ The driest possible tone. ]

[mysterioisthetruth]

What... Are you going to gloat about this?

[made_up_names]

Dude, I'm just pointing out the obvious irony here.

[mysterioisthetruth]

So you're happy that I'm being humiliated.

[It's different when it's about him - and he's not even thinking clearly enough to feign any sympathy for what he put Peter through.]

[made_up_names]

The part of me that's a bad person is feeling some schadenfreude, sure. You blew up my life when you unmasked me.

[mysterioisthetruth]

So the wonderful Peter Parker does enjoy a little revenge.

[made_up_names]

I already told you I'm not perfect. I'm just a person, okay?

[mysterioisthetruth]

A good person with a good heart who'd rescue people who tried to kill him... yet still indulge in petty revenge.

[made_up_names]

Yeah? Yeah. Sometimes. I've done that before. And it cost me.

[mysterioisthetruth]

And now. What are you going to do? Joke with all your friends about how much of a loser I am?

[made_up_names]

Of course not.

[ He says, despite getting a good laugh out of the next post. ]

[mysterioisthetruth]

Why wouldn't you? Everybody else is.

[made_up_names]

Because I know how it feels and it sucks.

[mysterioisthetruth]

But you wouldn't defend me either, would you. Not now.

[made_up_names]

... It was pretty unhinged, Beck.

[mysterioisthetruth]

It wasn't meant for anyone to see.

[And he's been doing similar things for weeks in private, just not usually with wall damage.]

Do I criticise things you do in private?

[made_up_names]

If I damage a wall where you can see? Yeah. I would really, really hope people criticize me for that.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You destroyed my door, then Loki destroyed my door. Maybe it was just my time for a little destruction.

[made_up_names]

Wait, Loki destroyed your door?

[mysterioisthetruth]

Yes. He burst in one day, trying to give me back that... that kid. Then he turned around and took him away again anyway. Pointless destruction of property.

[made_up_names]

[ Loki and Mysterio talking is Concerning. Especially given that Spider-Man and Loki didn't exactly get off on the right foot. ]

That's ... weird.
