i ❤️ drawring

to give some background cuz that's totally necessary: what i find interesting about spideypool (among many things) is how deadpool sees spiderman as an ideal hero whereas spidey sees dp as a worse version of himself (see:deadpool (2008) by daniel way)

and this is furthered by joe kelly's arc(s) in spiderman/deadpool where we see dp not only turning a new leaf but also subsequently ripping up that metaphorical leaf to protect spidey's morals. and kurt and pete talk a lil bit about peter's saintliness, how he doesn't view himself a saint but could nonetheless be considered one by virtue of his near squeaky clean soul...

so obv i tried to depict that with like a placing of a crown of thorns on spidey's head. orig in my work doodle, as u might b able to tell, there's more forcefulness to it, but when i redrew it recently, it's more gentle... th reluctance from spidey i think is obvious, but wade's placement could b seen as both the veneration of spiderman and the offloading of burden from dp to spidey... i think the latter is more true for daniel way spideypool, esp w th headspace dp was in at the time...
