A Kooky Gal

Legit, I walked into phm 100% expecting to see Rocky’s mate on screen at some point, and I was so excited too, but when we got to the end and Adrian still hadn’t shown up I was like “where tf is Rocky’s ginormous, green, spiky mate??”

It took me a hot sec to comprehend the fact that the Adrian I knew from fanart I’d seen beforehand was a concept completely created by the genius and likemindedness of the phm fandom.

He is discovered by that external organization and taken in to be experiemneted on and they induce amnesia in him but he manages to escape. The funky science whatever newly discovered electromagnetic sensitivity that Ryland possess causes the city to undergo funky electric power out or smth I dont know.

This is where Peter comes in and discovers his favorite science teacher in an abandoned apartment, confused and scared with his own newfound abilities and lack of memories.

I'm thinking that Ryland will have the powers to absorb heat energy and store it inside his body like Astrophage. This is what allows him to survive the explosion at the labs (he absorbed it or smth) and hes constantly accumulating energy from the sun or what. He can expel it rapidly , making it look he has fire or electric powers or smth. It also gives him super speed and whatnot. Do you get it. I feel like im not explaining this right.

I might want to sprinkle in some Coltland Gentry too where Eva goes to inform Colt that his brother was killed in a lab explosion (because they found no body) and Court finds out Ryland was killed via an associate who has ties to SHIELD. Maybe Court suspects that Ryland js still alive goes to look for him. I dont know.

There'll be statues of him all over the place.

However

I believe strongly that:

A) Ryland Grace is our AroAce king.

B) Ryland Grace can be in a romantic relationship with Markiplier.

every three months he'll post and in the author's note there's some shit like "sorry this took a while, i got shot seven times :/" or "i know it's been a minute, i literally got hit by a bus and then stabbed in the leg, but i'm all good!" or sometimes ned would log in and post with a note "hey i'm a friend posting on the author's behalf, they're healing from severe hypothermia but promised an update, so here it is!"

and the fic just gets increasingly more popular for the author notes alone. a good handful of the comments are something along the lines of "i'm not even in the star wars fandom, i'm just here to see if the author is good" or "every update i cheer for another day the author gets to live at this point"

and any reader who is a native new yorker kind of pieces together that holy shit the author might be spider-man because the timeline adds up, and they just fully embrace it. spider-man will stop a robbery and the guy behind the counter will ask when the next chapter will be up. spider-man returns a stolen backpack to a girl and she'll tell him that he "really got poe's voice down so well, it's really impressive."

ned thinks it is hilarious. mj finds out about the fic from twitter, to peter's absolute horror, and changes peter's contact name to "friendly neighborhood ao3 author". but the worst thing to happen is after an avengers battle where peter took a pretty big hit and ends up in med-bay. and during a press conference, when someone asks how spider-man is healing, tony just drops "spidey won't be down for too long. the star wars fic will be updated within the week, probably."
