Curious question, what exactly is Spencer's (more lore-y/important) role within CSTM besides from (most likely) being the "storywise a well-written villain, irl just a cocky idiot"
Like I mean he did try to scrap/cause harm to Hiro, but any other crimes he's done to affect other characters' arcs or/and big plots?

spencer's most notable influence was in the HOTR arc. story-wise, he is supposed to challenge hiro's values and give the older man a metaphorical slap to the face (funnily enough, spencer chasing hiro around the island reminded hiro that he still wanted to live and gave him a reason to carry on despite losing his family and being a patron of the gold dust). spencer's biggest crime is trying to hunt down hiro. he doesn't get any more worse than that, luckily. I've mentioned his other disrespectful as hell actions multiple times in this blog too but atp it's more annoying than insensitive or offensive to gordon and scott
writing sense I wanted to make spencer gordon's antithesis. the basis is that "spencer is what gordon could've turned out had it not been for his loved ones" and I just wrote what I wanted to write! they represent both sides of the gresley family -- gordon grew up with a loving family, spencer grew up in an environment where his relatives would rip each other apart for land and inheritance. gordon lost his family members bit by bit while spencer's still standing (with a few loses). gordon and spencer both heavily struggled with maintaining long-term friendships in their youths, but while gordon eventually hardened his heart and let his short lived connections come and go, spencer messed with people just to feel some sort of relief in his heart. both gordon and spencer are old pompous showoffs, but while gordon strived to become a better person because he realizes that he doesn't want to lose the people important to him anymore, spencer gave up on correcting himself because he thinks he's way too far gone (and being mean is way easier). then hiro came to view
spencer's a fun character. he makes me a bit sad. then I remember that he visits his cousin's funerals for the food and it makes me stifle my laughter like that one ish*wspeed gif
Had fun designing him, pulling aspects from his personality as a 'grand engine' while also putting my own two cents on his character, visualizing "My Ex-Wife ran away from me" on a character design wasn't hard HAHA.
Since I made him older than Ed, his looks must speaks 'silver fox' and I IMMEDIATELY put a cane on him, careful though, that cane is a weapon👀,,,,
You know what day it is.. Family gatherings, cats knocking over the tree, being asked strange questions- and not being able to hold a pose for a picture.
Now some of you may wonder, who's that strange blonde, held by mr eyebrows. It's high time I introduce Rebecca (No it's not THE Rebecca, she's just loosly based off of her) She's Scott's lovely wife (I'll share more of her lore later, I'm tired now)
I had this thought after henry had enough of spencers bullshit, he"ll come to him and carry him bridal style and then throwing him into the lake, gordon is very proud of henry after that
I had a feeling that if I don’t answer this ask in the style of a BL doujinshi something terrible will happen to me. enjoy
