TMAGP 12 Thoughts: Nostalgia Bait

I have no real preamble on this one. I think it was a fun, straight forward, episode without too too much to really sink out not-soft teeth into here. Also please laugh at that subtitle, I'm very proud of it.

Spoilers for episode 12 below the cut.

A lot of office stuff here it feels like. Not a huge amount to really say on it as like with the rest of this episode it's more building on stuff we've already seen than it is adding new things to the show. Which is obviously not a bad thing but it's fairly straightforward. Celia and Sam are going on a date, which is cute, and Alice is very obviously jealous, which is also cute.

"You wouldn't be tempted?" "No" [bzzt]. Uh huh.

So first things first for the incident, this episode took places on 09/03/2024. 09/03/2024 is the date the incident in episode 10, Saturday Night, was filed. So everything that went down here was the same night that Gwen gave Bonzo the instructions and presumably he just killed whoever had their name in their. We don't really know who that was as of yet. Of the known characters I said it'd likely be Klaus but this was someone new. They're only identified as "Baz" in the episode, assuming the first victim was the main target, and we don't know any Bazs, Basils, or Barrys AFAIK. But if that's someone Gwen would know I think that only leaves two or three people it could be. I think most people will think Baz is a Bouchard or some other family member. I think it's possible that it's either someone on the corporate ladder that Lena eliminates as a show of "this is what it takes to move up in this company". There has been a lot of focus on Gwen's naivety in that area after all. The last main option I see is that it could just be someone fairly "random". Not someone Gwen is necessarily connected to but just some form of threat. Gwen "knows" them more in a general sense of "you know what I'm sending him to do, eliminate a threat". Hard to say just from the incident alone. The lunchbox and theme tune are "real" too, which is fun.

Outside of that not a load to say but it was a fun episode and it's nice to see Bonzo doing Bonzo things. It's really interesting that he appears to have either two "forms" or that he's got some sort of mental manipulation abilities. When Gwen saw Bonzo, despite being aware of him from TV, she reacted with abject horror. The party guests didn't. So either Bonzo didn't look like his current self or he's able to manipulate people's perception of him. Both would account for the reactions he got. Just a guy in a Bonzo suit. Not a sweaty meaty monster.

After that we just see Gwen horrified by the case. Which is an understandable reaction but I don't think its an elucidating one. I wouldn't say how she reacts shows anything beyond terrifying realisation about what the OIAR is. Her brief conversation with Alice also leans in that direction. So if it's a family member it doesn't look like one who's loss is felt as an immediate gut punch.

The only other comment I have on this is how refreshingly different Bonzo is being treated as a primary monster in this show. Unlike in TMA which did a lot of slow build up, small appearances, and things like that we've gotten two episodes very close together where he shows up and is a large focal point of the episode.

Incident/CAT#R#DPHW Master Sheet

DPHW Theory: 4728 all seems pretty reasonably for what we saw. Death and Helplessness were not major thematic factors but Pain and Weird very much were.

CAT# Theory: 1.

R# Theory: B is totally in line with my ideas on this.

Header talk: Mascot (Kids) -/- Frenzy is what I have been waiting for. Sweet repetition. Sweet, sweet repetition. Episode 10, Saturday Night, was CAT1RB2275 - Mascot (Kids) -/- Murder. An identical Section (Subsection) with a different Crosslink.

This largely confirms that Crosslinks impact DPHW gradings. It doesn't say much about how these things are calculated but I'd wager it's something like Section (Subsection) gets a rating that is then modified by a Crosslink. Rather than all those combinations being in the book. It's not exactly useful information but does give more clarity on the role of the Crosslinks. With both cases having the same CAT#R# it's impossible to say at the moment whether that can be changed by the Crosslink.

Gwenpool would have done numbers on Miguel from spiderverse but unfortunately she forgot her passport and they wouldn’t let her in :(

extras under cut (incl Speedpaint)

This was a lot of fun even tho it took me two hours. I may even set it to my header. Also I need to draw myself a pfp I can’t have stolen Tsukasa plushie as it forever. I actually only read gwenpool last night but the ending…. Augh right in the feels. I’m in a comic-booky mood so I’m probably gonna try to get into Deadpool again bc he was fun. I’m trying to get into uploading here more bc I forget about it a lot (it’s my sideblog what do you expect) but yeah. my friend Ezra was the one to suggest having her passport fall out to make it more dynamic, which was very big brain. This started bc we weren’t sure if Gwen had regular shoes or roller blades but decided they could pop out. Yknow like heelies ;)

You Take My Breath Away

Summary: Allie Baker is an aspiring singer, who sings at the local Midtown Bar on weekends. One night, a mysterious man enters the bar, and becomes entranced. Just 5 years after losing the love of his life, Peter Parker drowns himself in alcohol and marijuana to forget his sorrows, but finds himself falling for the girl. Will he manage to get the courage to approach her? Or will Spider-Man have to step in and save her life?

Warnings: First chapter has no warnings!

(fic header done by the lovely @loverhymeswith <3 )

The hustle and bustle of the Midtown Bar went on through the cool, Friday night, music ringing through the walls. A local band was performing on the outside stage, with a lead vocalist in the front. That vocalist was Allie Baker. The bar was mostly inside, with the door to the outside courtyard open to let in the fresh air. The band was in full swing, Allie belting it out in front of the mic.

Looking out into the crowd, she saw the smiling, and mostly drunk, faces of the bar folk, some raising their glasses in cheer for her performance. She thanked them, smiling as she turned to the guitarist, giving a small nod. He began to play a simple progression on his acoustic, and she started the vocals. It was one of her favorite Queen songs, Crazy Little Thing Called Love. As she sang towards the drunken people, her green eyes caught a deep honey colored pair. They stared into her, a gentle smile on his face. His hair was a brunette, fluffy mess on the top of his head, a glass of bourbon in his hand. It was almost as if time slowed down. Her stomach turned and she nearly missed the next line of the song, but snapped out of the trance and continued the song.

Her petite frame swayed with the music as she sang, her short, curly brown locks bouncing with her. She saw the man who was looking at her was now in a booth by himself, still drinking the same glass of bourbon. She felt a pang in her heart as she couldn’t help but stare at him. He must’ve felt this, and he looked directly at her, causing her to quickly look away.

As she continued the song, people sang along, and surprised her with the “Ready, Freddie?” towards the end of the song. She was having an absolute blast. The song came to an end, and the crowd roared with cheers and claps. She saw that same man, no cheering, no clapping, just watching her. It made her feel a little uneasy, but she always had those weird fans from time to time.

“Thanks guys! See you tomorrow night!” she said into the mic, waving at everyone in the crowd. Cheers rang out, and she bowed and waved as she stepped off the small stage. She looked behind her and saw the mysterious man, his glass now empty. He was completely alone. He had a pretty good amount of stubble, and it looked like he hadn’t showered in a few days. His clothes were jeans and a simple hoodie, with white converse shoes. She felt a sort of…sorrow, when she saw him. Something about him radiated sadness.

That strange man’s name was Peter Parker. Also known as that friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. His story was more intense than Allie’s, and he found himself frequenting bars and clubs to get his mind off of the one thing that kept him going. Gwen Stacy. The love of his life, tragically killed by no one other than himself. It had been 5 years since her death, and he still hadn’t gotten past it. His depression was at an all time low, having gone to alcohol and weed. Anything to numb his emotions.

The one bar he found himself at the night he was on a high endeavor, was the Midtown Bar. He didn’t know they had live music, but he was pleasantly surprised when he heard the melodic voice at the front of the stage. He was completely entranced. She was beautiful, and her voice was angelic.

He watched her as she stepped from the stage, and into the indoor section of the bar. He sighed, looking into his empty glass. He wanted another drink, but now that Allie was done singing, he would be leaving soon. He really wasn’t interested in staying otherwise.

“Excuse me, can we get a picture with you? We love your voice!” A young girl came up to Allie and asked. Allie of course nodded with a smile, “Absolutely!” She said loudly above the regular bar music. She took a couple pictures with the two girls, smiling widely, her freckles coming out with the flash of the camera. She said her goodbyes, waving to the girls as they walked away.

Tonight, it was just her. No uke, no guitar. She didn’t usually play, but on slower nights, she would play a few songs. It was nerve wracking for her, but she always managed to finish her songs with no mistakes. Despite having stage fright, she really was quite a good singer. She loved performing, and the cheers and applause was definitely a confidence boost.

Walking back out to the outdoor area, she chatted with the band a bit to talk about their set for the next day. She would be singing one of her favorites by Journey, and she was excited. 

“Okay, so we’ll open with The Promise, then end on Kiss Me. Sound good?” The guitarist said to her.

“Sounds like a plan!” She smiled with a thumbs up.

They talked for a few minutes longer about the set before they passed around farewells, all going their separate ways. Allie didn’t notice Peter still silently watching her from his booth, having just closed his tab while she was talking to the band. His hands were in his hoodie pocket, his fingers fiddling around. His eyes followed her as she left the bar, turning left.

He got up quickly, but tried to not make much of a scene. Walking out the door, his head turned left and he saw her walking down the street, to where he assumed was her apartment. He gave a small sigh, running his hand through his hair. He knew he’d have to keep seeing her. And maybe eventually try to talk to her.

He turned to his right, going the opposite direction to his own apartment. Usually he’d use his webs to get around, but without his suit on, it kind of gives him away. As he walked down the warm, dark streets of outer Manhattan, he pulled out his phone. 2:30 AM. He sighed, slipping it back into his pocket. He was so exhausted. Mentally and physically. He could barely keep up with being Spider-Man, and already being out of school meant he had nothing to do but be Spider-Man. He wanted a break. He needed a break. But the city needed him. And soon, Allie too.

Allie made it to her apartment building, opening the front door and using the elevator to her floor. Unlocking the door, she was greeted by her brown tabby cat, Moose, who chirped and meowed as she stepped inside. “Hi, baby,” she said quietly to him as he continued to greet her. She bent down to pet him, then took her shoes off and hung her keys on the hook by the door.

She sighed as she dropped her purse on the counter as she walked by, going to the bathroom to remove her makeup, and to start getting ready for bed. It was really only like this on the weekends when she sang, otherwise her usual bedtime is around 10:30 PM. She brushed her teeth, and quickly rinsed her mouth, running her fingers through her curls. Sighing as she looked at herself, she thought of the man she made eye contact with. He was definitely good looking, but why was he constantly just staring at her? She figured it was just another passing bar hopper, and shook off the thought.

She walked across the hall to her bedroom, Moose following her as she turned on her floor fan pointed at her bed. Her cat hopped up on her bed as she started to undress, slipping into her pajamas which consisted of small shorts and an oversized shirt. She was comfy, and that’s all that mattered.

Allie laid under her comforter with her phone close to her face, checking her usual social media apps before she finally turned in for the night. She saw some photos from her performance that night on instagram, looking through them. But she noticed that same man in one of the photos, staring at her intently. Her stomach turned. She wasn’t quite freaked out just yet, but it was definitely unsettling. She had her fair share of weirdos at her performances, but this one felt…different.

Finally, she set up her brown noise app on her phone and set it on the nightstand next to her bed. Moose was curled up on her pillow, barely giving her any room for her head. She chuckled at this, and nuzzled herself into her comforter, slowly drifting off to sleep.

[useragarfield]

your header got me thinking about when peter suggests gwen should do her speech for him "all night long" and gwen agrees that she's gonna do it for him over and over again, all night long. and if they weren't implying something else with that exchange then they're fools but they obviously were and i hate the fact that they never got to have that night together. and more importantly that we never got to see it.

my evidence that peter and gwen were long since fucking by graduation is right there okay. like the way he was looking at her with those soft eyes he was like ok imma do my best to distract from the speech even though i really do want to hear it but no for real i am devastated by it

like the fact that they spent 2 years ricocheting back to each other, just locked in this love story they couldn't escape not that they wanted to - i can't imagine how that must've looked to even their classmates. like don't they know they're meant for each other???

the amount of pain they had to go through...still makes me sick. i love captain stacy and all but fuck i wish they'd had more happiness before the pain. it's literally only love for her and respect for her dad that keeps him away from her, you know. like their bond...he knew she was the love of his life. he fucking knew it. those two years had taught him that he was never going to love anyone like he loved her and i don't think he ever will.

ships in the night

someone that gwen once cared deeply for. the pair is often referred to as “right person, wrong time.” they’ve never actually been romantically involved, but their respective familieis feel it’s only a matter of time. neither are really sure if it’s worth pursuing and when one decides to take the chance, some obstacle always pops up.

playing with fire

gwen is one that falls in love very easily. what started as a fwb situation due to a drunken night partying, is quickly becoming something that could burn out spectacularly. eventual will culminate in an outburst of feelings and intense emotion but for now... it’s simply “harmless” fun.

sister from another mister (brother from another mother)

the “fourth” powys child. basically someone gwen feels is one of her siblings (on a different tier than best friends aisling and yiwha). gwen and this person are so close, there was once an entire tabloid series claiming they were the illegitimate child of king cynan

Our Good Lady Spider

Pairing: Peter Parker & Gwen Stacy (Platonic) 🕷️Summary: Some visitors arrive from a collapsing alternate universe, including Spider-Gwen

Contents: Some angst, mentions of death and loss, but ultimately fluffy 🕷️Word count: 4,789 words

A/N: This is for my LondonSpidey ‘s I Love You 3000 Challenge. My prompt was "Are you saying there's a multiverse?", which is bolded. Sorry for two new fics in one day, but two deadlines on the same day and my procrastinating ass means they’re both getting posted the same day of the deadline! I was thinking there would be more to this fic; it has sat with this version minus the last paragraph and a few tweaks for months, but I never thought of anything to add so this is the way it’s ending unless it gets enough attention to motivate me to write more. Anywho, enjoy!

Also, sorry for the spider in the header image for anyone who has a phobia! There’s actually no spider in the fic, just two spider-powered people. I tried to cover it a little with the text, in case that helps anyone, and I tagged it. 

I saw advice not to put links in original fic posts for searchability, so I’ll reblog with my taglist (which is open!), link to my masterlist, and citing the header photo.

The pristine, unsullied foyer of the New York sanctum was calm, quiet, serene, pick whatever word you like; it was empty.

Until it wasn’t.

The swirls of the glowing yellow ring started small, then expanded and expanded until it was almost large enough for a person to step through.

But instead of a person, a silky string of webbing jetted out of the opening and latched itself onto the railing of the grand staircase. Just as a super-suited figure swung in Tarzan-style, clinging to the silky rope, sounds began to emanate through the portal.

They were muffled at first, but the volume gradually increased until, clear as day piercing through the sanctum rang out, “STEPHEN!”

Doctor Strange came rushing to follow the sound of his name, sliding a little bit on the tile as he tried to compensate for his overzealous steps. This call was different. This wasn’t the haunting, remorseful sounds he heard in his head at night, or sometimes during the day when things were just a little too quiet. This was real, he was sure of it. But how could it be? Tony was dead. But his voice was certainly distinctive; Strange had only really met him the one time, twice for Tony, but it was seared into his memory. Still, he was half-expecting there to be no one there.

What he was not expecting was to walk in on one of his own Kamar-Taj-style portals active in his foyer, the scene unfolding beyond it so chaotic that he couldn’t even make it out. And he was certainly not expecting a crouched figure in front of the portal in an Iron Spider suit.

“Mr. Parker?” he asked incredulously.

The nanotech mask melted away, revealing a thin face with high cheekbones. Instead of Peter’s floppy brown curls there was an edgy blonde ‘do where half her hair was buzzed and fuzzy, and the other was stick-straight, coming down not quite far enough to cover her eyes. “Guess again.”

Then the source of the voice Strange had followed came stumbling out of the portal, as if he had been pushed. Without registering his surroundings, he immediately turned on his heels and tried to rush back in, but he was stopped by a young blond wall of man in a star-spangled uniform who gently but forcefully corralled him back into the sanctum.

Two more forms emerged out of the portal before it faded into nothingness. One Strange didn’t recognize. He was young, muscular but in a lean as opposed to bulky way. His hair was bleached so blonde it was nearly silver, over brown roots. The other form Stephen recognized, but only from photographs. Her hair was back to its usual deep red, rather than the blonde ombre she had sported when she died.

Stephen thought he might explode. So much was swirling through his mind. He was so confused. He wanted to run and hug Tony, but he also wanted to blast them all into oblivion because clearly they were some evil force hell-bent on destroying him by taking the forms of those he lost. But that didn’t make any sense because he didn’t even know two of them, and he hadn’t met another two. Besides, no one could possibly know how much Tony had come to mean to him in that short time of their acquaintance.

So he stood frozen. Steve held Tony in his arms as he wept. Natasha and the unknown boy did not relax out of their battle-ready stances, but the unknown girl did, and then she said, “Listen. Stephen. You’re not going to believe this shit.”

🕷️

A few minutes later, Stephen was pinching the bridge of his nose, Wong at his side, while the cohort of should-be-dead-or-shouldn’t-exist Avengers sat across from him at a long table.

“So you’re saying that you’re from another universe.”

“Yes,” Natasha confirmed.

Stephen opened his mouth like he was going to say something, then closed it again. He looked up at the group in front of him, his gaze focusing on each of them in turn, landing finally on Tony’s goateed, healthy, alive face, and said, “We need to assemble the Avengers.”

Steve rebutted, “Hey, that’s my line.”

🕷️

A few hours later, the portal-takers were pacing nervously in the conference room of the old Avengers Tower. Only Strange, Wong and the young not-Spider-Man were sitting at the long conference room table, her head resting on her hands as her mind whirled at a million miles a minute.

Finally, Stephen broke the awkward silence and voiced what everyone was thinking.

“They’re going to freak out when they see you,” he said. “Maybe if I knew more, you could wait in the other room while I explained.”

FRIDAY interjected herself. “With all due respect, Dr. Strange, there is not enough time to learn. Wanda Maximoff has just entered the front foyer and is approaching the elevator.”

Pietro stopped pacing, frozen in his tracks by fear.

Stephen just shook his head and repeated himself, more to himself than anyone else, with an exasperated tone, “They’re going to freak out when they see you.”

“Not me,” Spider-Woman spoke, muffled, into her crossed arms laying on the table.

Everyone turned to look at her. She sat up. “I’m the only one who didn’t exist at all in this universe. And I know the whole deal. I’ll speak, and you guys can come out when they’re prepped.”

“You sure you’re ok with that?” Steve asked gently.

Spider-Woman took a deep breath and answered, “Yes.”

FRIDAY spoke up again. “Ms. Maximoff has stepped off of the elevator and is on this floor.”

“Go, go, hide,” Stephen rushed them out of the room and into the next, shutting the door behind him just in time for Wanda to come casually through the door on the other side of the conference room.

On the opposite side of a double-sided mirror, Pietro touched the glass sadly.

Soon, the table was full, and even some additional chairs had to be brought in to squeeze into the corners. Those in attendance included: Wanda, Scott, Rhodey, Sam, Bucky, Happy, Pepper, Fury, Hill, Bruce, T’Challa, Thor, Rocket, and Quill. At the head of the table was Stephen and Spider-Woman, who had allowed her suit to retract back into a cuff she wore on her wrist and was now in street clothes. Her stomach was in knots.

“So what was the urgent text about?” Wanda asked innocently, concern tinting her voice.

“Yeah, someone please explain why we had to high-tail it from Knowhere to this boring rock. It better be a good reason,” Rocket griped.

“Aren’t we missing someone?” Spider-Woman asked softly, shyly. A complete 180 from the bold and sassy person who had greeted Strange out of the portal.

Stephen glanced at his iPhone, but not before he looked at the new girl curiously. “Mr. Parker won’t be off of school until three. No one else has responded.”

On the other side of the glass, Tony’s breath caught in his throat. And he had just started being able to breathe again after the sight of Pepper, Happy and Rhodey had caused him to curl up onto the floor for several minutes.

“It’s barely two. Is the kid really necessary? I thought this was an emergency,” Sam piped up.

“And who are you?” Fury asked skeptically, this aimed of course at Spider-Woman.

“She’s about to tell us all. I don’t know much more than you do.” With that, Stephen leaned against the wall, as all chairs had been taken, and signaled for Spider-Woman to proceed.

She stuck her hands behind her back so no one could see them shaking. “Hi, I’m Gwen Stacy.”

Everyone in the room repeated back in a droning voice, like an AA meeting, “Hi Gwen Stacy.”

This took her off guard, but then made her chuckle a bit and relax. “Hi, I’m Gwen, and I’m from another universe. A parallel universe.”

Fury tensed up, and Maria’s hand hovered over her thigh holster.

“Are you saying there’s a multiverse?” Pepper asked, shocked.

“Yes,” Gwen replied.

“Yeah, which universe are you from then? What number?” Hill snapped.

Gwen scrunched up her nose. “What do you mean what number?”

“Earth 3116, Earth 428, whatever,” Fury clarified unhelpfully.

“That makes zero sense,” Gwen countered. “First of all, the entire universe is different not just Earth. And it’s a big ass universe. Second, each universe, up until it advances to the point that it discovers how to communicate with the others, which we have no idea if any other universe has, thinks it’s the only universe. They don’t number it. And if they did, every universe would name theirs ‘one.’ There’s not, like, an overarching council that can see all of them and assigns them labels. I-I’m just confused by the concept.”

“We had an imposter claim he was from another universe; that’s where he got that,” Hill explained.

Gwen hung her head and squeezed her eyes shut. “Quentin Beck. We had him too. It’s what made us start poking around the idea of a multiverse, but yeah he’s a sham who makes shit up that sounds fancy but when you really think about it it’s bullshit.”

“Had?” Scott asked. “As in the guy’s dead or as in the whole universe is gone?”

Gwen’s nails dug into her palms behind her back. “Both,” she said softly. “Cap wasn’t able to return all of the stones. Reality started to fall apart. There was nothing we could do to fix it.”

T’Challa offered a sorrowful, “I’m sorry.”

“So you had Quentin Beck. What else was the same as here? Do you know?” Hill asked.

Gwen nodded. “We watched this universe for a little bit, scoping it out. Focusing on you guys.”

“Who’s ‘we’? And who’s ‘you guys’?” Bucky asked.

Biting her lip, Gwen answered, “The Avengers. And… the Avengers.” She took a deep breath and continued. “From what I can tell, the main differences, at least as concerns this group, are these: Pietro Maximoff did not die on Sokovia.” She heard Wanda give a little gasp, but couldn’t work up the courage to look her in the eye. Instead, she gazed at Hawkeye with an expression he couldn’t place. “Clint sacrificed himself on Vormir instead of Natasha.”

Bruce cut her off. “So Nat’s alive?”

Stephen was the one who responded. “Please let her finish.”

Bruce nodded, but he didn’t relax.

Gwen glanced guiltily at Bucky and Sam, but quickly averted her gaze. “Cap came back after attempting to return the stones and failing. And Pepper sacrificed herself for the third snap, not Tony.” She paused. The room was thick. “Oh and I’m Spider-Woman.”

“I already like you much better than Spider-Man,” Sam joked. Bucky kicked him under the table, and Gwen did not laugh.

She finally answered the question that was on everyone’s mind. “So…” She took a shaky breath before she worked up the courage to continue.  “I’m not the only one who jumped ship on the collapsing universe.” She looked pointedly at the mirror, and after a few moments, her companions filtered in slowly.

At first, everyone stayed glued to their seats. No one knew what to do or what to say. Finally, Pepper let out a sob and dashed out of her chair. She was met halfway by an already-crying Tony and they embraced fiercely.

Bucky and Sam looked at each other, then tentatively, slowly pushed back their chairs and approached Steve, who ran a hand through his hair.

Steve said, “So I just saw you a few hours ago. But it wasn’t you. So it’s,”

“Weird,” Bucky finished for him. Steve nodded.

“For us it’s been a while. Would it be too much to ask for a hug?” Sam asked.

Steve smiled. “Not at all.” He pulled Sam in, then Bucky so they were standing there in a tight group hug.

Meanwhile, Nat almost got suffocated by a hug from Bruce, who still hadn’t gotten used to his immense strength in his half-Hulk form. Once released, she pressed her forehead to Clint’s wordlessly, his hands on her hips. Wanda and Pietro held each other tight, swaying back and forth, cheeks pressed together.

After Pepper got a long hug and a desperate cheek kiss that carried with it so much, Rhodey got a hug out of Tony too.

Everyone else stayed rooted in their seats. Quill had held his breath when the procession had been filing in, then he looked at Gwen with wide eyes and asked, “Gamora?”

She shrugged, not dismissively but with compassion. “Same as here, went off into space somewhere.”

Thor was next to look at Gwen with pleading eyes. “My brother?”

“As far as I know, still dead. I’m so sorry.”

After a final affectionate pat on Rhodey’s back, Tony said, loud enough to get the whole room’s attention, “So, Our Good Lady Spider got a few things wrong.”

She scoffed defensively. “I did not! I strategically left out certain information, the absence of which led them to a false conclusion. I just didn’t wanna lay too much on them at once.”

“I guess we’re settling in for another lesson,” Clint stated, releasing Natasha and lowering himself back into his seat.

Natasha sat precariously on the arm of Clint’s wheeled office chair, her feet on his lap. Wanda scooched over and Pietro squeezed his butt into the gap she left. Steve stood behind Bucky, leaning on the top of his chair with his arms folded.

Tony gave Pepper’s hand a squeeze and kissed the top of her head as she settled back into her seat and he sidled up to the head of the table to stand alongside Gwen.

“So we have a present for you.” Tony gestured to Nat, who pulled a backpack off and set it on the table. Carefully she extracted the Avengers Infinity gauntlet, the one Bruce used to bring back the dusted half of the population. All six Infinity Stones were nestled, faintly glowing, in their respective spots.

Silence pervaded the room, but Rocket went and broke it. “Are you sure taking the stones out of the universe isn’t what caused it to collapse?”

“It was collapsing while they were still there, smartass,” Gwen quipped.

Rocket was taken aback, but nudged Quill’s arm and mumbled under his breath, “I like her. Spunky, but no below-the-belt rodent quip.” Gwen winked at him to communicate that she heard.

Tony explained, “When Thanos destroyed the stones, he fucked up big time. Without the stones, the universe started falling apart. The only reason quantum time travel was even possible, was because the fabric of spacetime was all… whoopsidoodle.”

“Whoopsidoodle?” Gwen rolled her eyes.

“I said what I said.”

“Wait,” Rhodey piped up. “Thanos destroyed the stones here too.”

The realization washed over the room. Mostly.

“What?” Quill asked cluelessly.

Bruce said out loud what most people were thinking, dreading. “This universe is falling apart too.”

“Not anymore!” Tony gestured dramatically at the gauntlet.

“We knew it was too late for our universe, but that we could save another one if we didn’t return the stones. Which we couldn’t do for some of them anyway. Like, we broke the Tesseract. And Loki’s scepter,” Gwen added. “And those who were dead here, or didn’t exist, could get a second chance. The rest knew what choice they were making by staying, but no one wanted to risk doubles. We still have no idea what that would do to the fabric of reality.”

“I mean, old man Steve is out there somewhere,” Sam pointed out.

“Eh, but they’re not identical anymore. Don’t think too hard about it, just be glad you get him back, young and vigorous.” Gwen shrugged.

“Young and vigorous?” Steve asked jokingly.

“Shut up, Steve.”

Suddenly there was a loud thud. People turned to the doorway to find the source and discovered one Peter Parker had dropped his unreasonably heavy backpack and it had splintered the wood flooring.

He was staring with wide eyes at his dead mentor standing at the opposite end of the table.

“No, no, no, no, no,” he started whispering as tears quickly welled into his eyes and then overflowed down his cheeks. He backed up until he hit the wall of the hallway, then slid down it and curled into a ball, his head buried in his knees. He was still crying, and still whimpering, “No, no, no, no, no.”

Instinctively, Gwen ran towards him. As she got closer, she stopped herself, took several deep breaths and forced back some tears of her own, before carefully approaching.

She used a soft, gentle voice as she knelt down, not yet touching him. “Hey, Pete-er. Peter,” she cooed. “I know you think we’re illusions. Like Quentin Beck. But we’re not, I promise. Natasha and Steve and Pietro and me even Tony and are all real, I promise. Would you like to touch me to prove it?” She stuck out her hand, palm up.

Slowly, he raised his head, his eyes thoroughly red-rimmed. He turned and regarded Gwen quizzically, then looked back to her hand for a moment before cautiously placing his hand in hers.

She took deep breaths and tried to steady her fast-beating heart. She let him roll her hand around in both of his.

Steve offered himself up next, having approached and extended his own hand. Peter took it, and allowed Steve to help him up. He squeezed his hand a little. Then Natasha, whose palm he lightly scratched. Then Pietro, whose fingers he spread slightly apart. And finally, Tony.

He touched Tony’s hand and the tears started to well up again. Then both of Tony’s hands were in both of his. And then he was wrapped up in his arms squeezing and crying.

Gwen was still crouching on the ground, blinking back tears. Steve helped her up and put a comforting arm around her. He led her back towards the table, rubbing small circles with his thumb on her shoulder.

Sam leaned back so he could whisper at Gwen. “So if you’re Spider-Woman, does Tony know this kid at all?”

She nodded, then realized he couldn’t see her at this angle, so she rasped out, “Yes.” Steve gave a reassuring squeeze to her shoulders.

Stephen was going to wait, but it became clear that Peter was not going to pull away. This mirage— this perfect, longed-for dream— could melt away any second and he was going to spend every possible minute holding onto what he’d lost.

Since Peter was not letting go, Stephen lay a hand on his shoulder and said, as soothingly as possible, “Mr. Parker, I know this is going to be hard to believe right now, but these people, Stark and Captain Rogers and Agent Romanov, Mr. Maximoff and Ms. Stacy… are from another universe.”

Peter pulled back and closed his eyes. “What?”

Tony put a hand on his shoulder and said, “I’m going to let Gwen explain again in the other room, since everyone else has heard it, while I explain the science that probably only Bruce and Rhodey and maybe Thor will get. I can explain the science again to you later, when we hang out one-on-one and have some mentor-mentee time, yeah?”

Peter looked up at Tony and he wanted so badly to hope. But he also couldn’t bear to be disappointed. The horrible lesson he had extracted from the Quentin Beck incident was to be less trusting and less optimistic. It went against his very nature and because of that it partly broke him, but he had learned it.

He glanced at Gwen, who had her arms wrapped around herself with her head down, and Steve still comfortingly running his thumb up and down her bicep.

“Gwen? Do you mind” Tony asked.

She nodded, still not looking up, and pushed past Tony and Peter to get to the door. Peter tailed behind after a nod from Tony and another from Happy.

🕷️

Instead of going into the next room, since they didn’t want the two-way mirror, Gwen parked herself at the top of the stairwell, through a door.

He sat down next to her, then extended his hand.

“Peter Parker.”

Her head snapped up and she looked into his eyes. Her heart shattered into a million more pieces but she took his hand and bit her lip and said shakily, “Gwen Stacy.”

He gave her hand one firm shake. “Nice to meet you, Gwen Stacy.”

“Likewise,” she whispered.

Carefully, and unable to look Peter in the eye, Gwen re-explained the situation. When she got to the part about being Spider-Woman, her voice broke, and in the resulting pause Peter asked, “Wait. So. Was there a Peter Parker in your previous universe? Does Tony know me at all?”

Her response was so low it was practically whispered, because she was trying to push the sound past the anvil sitting at the bottom of her stomach. “There was a Peter Parker.” Then she fully processed what he said, how he had phrased it. “Previous universe?”

“Well, you’re not going back are you?”

Gwen shook her head. “Can’t. It’ll have burned up by now. Or imploded. Or whatever it is universes do when they die.”

“So, this is your universe now. It’d be pretty fucking depressing to keep calling a dead universe ‘your universe.’ You’d always feel like such an outsider. This is your home now.” He said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world, and not the type of thing only a truly compassionate mind would think of.

Gwen just stared at him for a moment. Then she whispered, “Shit,” and devolved into a puddle of sobbing. She wanted so desperately to lean into the crook of Peter’s shoulder, to have him hold her and comfort her, but the thought of it broke her heart so she collapsed in on herself instead, bringing her knees up to her face.

Peter didn’t know what to do. “I, I’m sorry. Is it something I said? Can I help?”

Gwen shook her head and laughed, still crying. “You’re just so—Peter. Thoughtful without realizing it. Selfless even though we’ve just disrupted your entire life.” She took several deep, shaky breaths. “You’re just completely… him. Except you’re not him.”

Peter felt like he’d been punched in the gut as he realized what was happening. “You knew the Peter Parker in your old universe.”

One single tear-filled laugh came bursting out of Gwen. “Yeah you could say that.”

Heat rushed to Peter’s cheeks as he thought he caught her drift. “Were you… together?”

She looked at him like he had three heads. “No!” Her face softened. “He was my best friend.”

Peter looked down. “Shit.”

“Yeah.”

Peter furrowed his brow, trying to make a decision, but he was interrupted by Stephen peeking into the stairwell.

“There you are. If you’re ready to join us.” He swept back out with dramatic flair.

Gwen rolled her eyes as Peter stood. He extended his hand and at first Gwen just stared at it.

“I-I don’t want you to be sad when you look at me. I know I’m not your best friend, but I’d like to be friends, if that’s ok. Just think of me as someone totally different. You can even call me by a different name. Like… Meter Marker.”

She took his hand and rolled her eyes, but in a playful manner. “How am I supposed to think of you as a different person when that’s literally exactly what he would say.”

Peter furrowed his brow again, and cocked his head. He looked so much like an adorable puppy dog, with his curls flopping in his face. He was trying so hard, despite the emotional toll this entire situation must be taking on him, because he desperately didn’t want this stranger to be in any distress. And Gwen could punch him for being so kind.

🕷️

Back in the boardroom, Tony reminded everyone that while reality was saved from falling apart, it was super duper dangerous and not at all wise to keep all six infinity stones together, especially not in a convenient gauntlet of infinite power. So they devised what was basically The Time Heist in reverse. And without time travel, only space travel.

Kids would stay home.

“But Tony!” Gwen and Peter had both whined at once.

“But Spiiiiiders,” he had mocked. Then he sighed. “Look, it’s not like you’re not getting an important job. We’re leaving one stone with you and we need you to protect it. Fortify it.”

Still pouting, Gwen crossed her arms and said, “Ok, but just to spite you, we’re going to put a whole bunch of booby traps and riddles and things to get to it, and we’re not going to tell you the answers.”

Tony had only nodded and replied, “Sounds like excellent security. I knew I could trust you guys with it.” Then he absent-mindedly kissed both his mentees on their foreheads and waved goodbye as he strode through the door on his way to the Quinjet.

Gwen waved amicably back, then turned to Peter and her face immediately dropped. Tears were welling in his eyes and he was frozen like a deer in headlights. She placed a hand on his shoulder and asked softly, “You all right, Pete?” He didn’t respond. “Peter?” She poked him in the cheek. “Meter Marker?”

He shook his head slightly as he came to, chuckling dryly at Gwen’s jibe. “Yeah I’m fine. Just…” He glanced wistfully out the door through which Tony had exited. “Never thought I’d… Never mind.”

Gwen took his hand and gave it a comforting squeeze. “I get it.”

They glanced at the glowing blue stone just sitting on the lab table.

“We should… probably give it a temporary home?” Gwen ventured. “Step one?”

Peter nodded. So Gwen slapped on a welding mask while Peter stood there awkwardly. She flipped the mask up when she noticed his inaction. “You good?”

“Um, yeah, I just. I mean I’m really good at chemistry. And coding. But I’ve never done actual welding before,” Peter admitted with a scratch to the back of his neck.

“Wanna learn?” Gwen offered.

She was an excellent teacher, patient and understanding, lighthearted but helpful, clear and firm. And Peter was an excellent student, taking it seriously enough not to burn himself, but not so seriously that he couldn’t accept the inevitability that he would not be great at it right off the bat. By the end of the lesson, Gwen had produced an intricately decorated perfect sphere, quite similar to the one Quill had carefully tucked the Power Stone into on his way to the mission.

Peter had produced a lumpy nugget of approximately the same size, which Gwen insisted upon personally keeping, despite Peter’s protestations.

After the stone was carefully laid in its temporary home and locked up in the safest vault Stark’s facility currently had to offer, the spider-heroes decided to take a break.

They sat out on a balcony off of the kitchen, each nomming on a peanut butter and honey sandwich. It was peaceful. Gwen could almost pretend like it was old times.

Peter glanced at her and asked softly, “Tell us how we met?”

She sighed and scooched away from him slightly, the spell broken.

“We met this morning,” she answered flatly.

“You know what I mean. Please?” His eyes were pleading, and she knew there wasn’t a single universe in which she could resist those big brown eyes.

She swallowed hard. “We lived in the same apartment building, as kids. We were maybe seven or eight. It was Halloween, and we were trick-or-treating in the complex. I was Wonder Woman and you were Iron Man. We met up, and you took the liberty to explain to me why Iron Man was the better super-hero.”

“Well, he is,” Peter said, placing the crusts of his sandwich back on the plate and setting it behind him.

“Oh yeah, why’s that?” Gwen asked, quirking her eyebrow at him.

“Because he’s real,” he replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

She chuckled dryly and tossed a piece of her own crust off the balcony at a passing bird, who caught it mid-air. “Yup, you’re definitely him.” The confirmation made Gwen a little sad.

But this new universe was a wealth of possibilities, and that included for the start of a beautiful new friendship.

Unpopular Opinion

Am I the only one who's genuinely worried about Giles possibly designing Gwen's Emmy dress?

Like, I know he's avant garde or something and British fashion is supposedly edgier (what da fuck do I know) but his designs tend to drown women in fabric. Or he doesn't seem to know the downsides of certain fabrics.

He claims to never design for wallflowers but given the volume of silk he heaps on everyone from Sarah Jessica Parker to Gwendoline herself, you can't fucking dance in those dresses. I doubt if you can even pee! So I guess in a Giles Deacon dress you just gotta stand still?

He's all about what fabric can do, particularly silk. I just wonder for an award-winning designer like himself, he doesnt seem to know that silk isn't really best for events where you gotta sit for hours because of wrinkles.

I just want Gwen to look like the goddess she is. Is that too much to ask, Giles?

Look at first two photos. Good lord.

This one wasn't awful. The color is great on her but the double skirt is a headscratcher. Also look at the wrinkles!

This is fun. But this wasn't all Giles. I think it was in collaboration with someone else.

I love her fire dress at the GoT Season premiere. You KNEW God is a woman in the Iris van Herpen dress.

P.S. Here are other dresses he designed, worn by Gwen, Pink, Cate Blanchett and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Cate Blanchett, Cannes Film Festival. I like the print. Giles said it was inspired by a painting being faxed. For me, it's like a kraken spewed all over after a bad night. Not too crazy about the silhouette.

I believe this dress was recycled and worn by P!nk recently. It's on Giles' Insta.

❤ this. Giles did right on this.

Alright. In this you can pee easily. And and about the only okay thing I can say about it. Designed for Met Gala.

The gold mini-dress Gwen wears in the header image of my Tumblr is by Giles too. I would honestly wear something like it. And the black BDSM-ish one as soon as I have abs. But I pass on the rest.

Top 15 Superheroes part 3

First off some honorable mentions (not nearly enough though): Hulk, Iron Man, Wasp, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, Black Panther, Vision, Beast, Professor X, Cyborg, Starfire, Firestorm, Groot, She-Hulk, Doctor Strange, Spawn, Hellboy, Rorschach.

3. Green Arrow (Oliver Queen)

I fucking love this guy and many people’s exposure to him is from the CW show Arrow, and while that show is (mostly) fantastic, it isn’t an accurate representation of the character. In the comics and other media he is much more lighthearted and cracking jokes constantly. He is sometimes accused of being too similar to Batman which I completely disagree with as Oliver knows how to have fun, and his origin story involves him being stripped of everything and having to survive on his own. I love every second of him and Black Canary being together and as I said earlier they are my favorite superhero couple. Oliver is a lot more left wing than many of his fellow heroes and he adds a different perspective on what is right and wrong, for example Batman might just beat up a drug addict and Superman might just throw him in jail where as Green Arrow would try to help them with their addiction. In fact Green Arrow and Green Lantern were some of the first to deal with drugs in the crossover comics they had running at the time, dealing with Green Arrow’s sidekick having a heroin addiction. For great Green Arrow stuff check out the animated feature DC Showcase: Green Arrow, Justice League: Unlimited, and for comics Green Arrow: Rebirth, and the Injustice: Gods Among Us comics.

2. Superman

The first comic book superhero and the one that every other superhero has taken inspiration from in some way, the Man of Tomorrow has survived publisher shake ups, retcons, accusations of being part of the moral decay of society (Fredric Wertham was an idiot), copyright law almost splitting him in two, and an ever changing pop culture and remains one of the most popular characters in all of fiction. He takes on everything from universe destroying beings, planet destroying aliens, giant robots, evil billionaires, and slum lords;  no problem is too big for him to tackle or too small to be beneath him. The Man of Steel may have godlike power, but while some say that makes him uninteresting I say that is part of what makes him such a great character; his struggle to always remain moral and a beacon of hope to all of us. Superman is who everyone in the DC universe looks up to for a moral compass. He is the person we all look up to, striving to be better people and always do the right thing. For great Superman stuff watch The Death of Superman (2018), Allstar Superman, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. For some of his best comics read All-Star Superman, Superman: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? and Superman/Batman” Public Enemies.

1. Spider-Man (Peter Parker)

Yeah super shocking based on my header and icon right? Superman is the moral symbol of hope we all look up to and wish to be, but Spider-Man is the flawed, self-conscious, awkward person we all are. He is still moral and striving to do the right thing, but he struggles and makes mistakes along the way. He’s been my favorite fictional character from as far back as I can remember and I have never identified with a character more. His quips and one-liners kill me, and I’m so glad the newer films allow him to be funny. He is nerdy, and awkward, and struggles to pay rent, and keep relationships, and he just does the best he can; which all anyone can do. He’s funny, charming, intelligent, goofy, and incredibly self-sacrificing. He’s one of the characters in comics that’s been allowed to grow most, from his awkward teenage start to his college years where he could never balance his life, then a short lived carrier as a college professor and now to head of Parker Industries and a mentor to a new Spider-Man, Peter has been through a lot and grown so much. I also love his many different costume changes, though his first is such an amazing design that its been pretty much unchanged for over 55 years. His best stories aren’t him just being stronger than some villain of the weak and beating them up, but getting his ass kicked, going home and figuring out some scientific or emotional way to defeat his enemy and coming back from it learning something about himself. Most of his villains have some personal connection with him, some kind of friend or mentor usually and I love the emotional heart that brings to his stories, characters like the Lizard where he doesn’t want to hurt him because he knows there is still a good man inside that monster that needs to be saved. The black suit arcs are some of my favorite because of his struggle with his dark side and not just some bland “oh he’s evil because he’s mad” crap; but frustration at his life, work, money, superhero life, and not using his powers for personal gain; all leading to the creation of one of my all time favorite villains who eventually grew and became a hero in his own right, though Venom struggles a lot more than Spider-Man with that. I think if more people lived up to Spidey’s philosophy of responsibility and not giving in to greed or ego, the world would be a much better place. For spectacular Spider-Man reading check out: The Death of Captain Stacy, Spider-Man No More, Spider-Man: Blue, The Night Gwen Stacy Died, Spider-Verse, and Spider-Men (there are a lot more but this list is getting long)For superior Spider-Man stories in animation check out the 90′s Spider-Man series, Spectacular Spider-Man and the Into the Spiderverse movie coming out soon

I made this list first because these are characters that have shaped who I am as a person the most, influenced me and who I want to be as a person. I’ve grown up with these characters and the stories told about them have helped influence almost every aspect of who I am, from my taste in music, writing, tv, film, to the decisions I make in my every day life, to who I strive to be as a person. I created this blog to share my love of these and other characters, and if just one person can look at something in these posts and go “wow that looks interesting, I should read/watch that” I think my time and effort will be worth it.
