#hhh yeah

It has..certainly been a long while. My work life has gotten pretty stressful(and worse if I may add) so I've kinda ended up leaving my Rp blogs here entirely while I work.

                       OH WOW A TIMELINE ! 

hi i’ve been on this blog for a year & a half-ish and i think it’s time that i finally write up a cohesive timeline. i’ve pulled from canon to build my own spider-man & filled in the gaps with headcanons! so ummm… here’s my mash potato spider-man.

CHILDHOOD [ AGES 5-14 ]

at age five peter is left his his aunt may & uncle ben by his parents. it doesn't dawn on him that this is for good until a bit later in life. he’d been left with his aunt & uncle for long periods of time before, so he didn’t quite process what was happening. he still remembers his parents & as he grows he still has specific memories. he can remember his mother’s hair & father’s smile — but he doesn’t know or understand why he was left until much later in life. 

at ages nine to ten he begins seeing tony stark on the TV more often — he begins to love the idea of superhero’s and starts idolize tony stark. this is what starts his fascination with science/inventing things. he finds that he loves to create & is actually pretty good at doing it!

at age twelve he meets skip westcott. please see this post for more details. ( tw. csa ) he learns then what it is to use his voice, and there’s a period of disconnect that he works through with the help of his aunt & uncle. their love & support also make it really dawn on him that these are the people raising him & they people who love him like a son. it’s a concept he hadn’t really grasped prior to what happened to him. 

ages thirteen to fourteen show peter’s awkward/anxious nature blooming. during this time he doesn’t have many friends & really throws himself into his schoolwork rather than going out & making friends. this is when his scientific ability starts to blossom & he finds a new idol - otto octavius. his work fascinates peter & keeps his mind busy, distracting him from peers a general disconnect from his peers. he later learns that the disconnect is caused by his anxiety & doesn’t get help for this until later in life. somewhere in this chunk of life, he also meet harry osborn, who later becomes his first true friend as well as mary-jane watson. he falls for the redhead & falls hard, a crush for her lasting throughout all of high school. 

TEENAGER [ AGES 15-18 ]

age fifteen is when he’s bit by the spider that changes peter’s life. he had been along on a field trip, taking pictures for his school paper when he’s bit. the night where he gets his powers is perhaps the most hellish night of his life - his body tore itself apart from the inside & rebuilt according to whatever the venom of the spider dictated. overwhelmed by his newfound spider-senses, peter parker wonders into the streets of new york & finds out about his heightened abilities when he jumps over a car that nearly hits him. he tries to use his powers to earn money in the wrestling arena, where he is first called spider-man. he isn’t paid in full one night & lets a robber go with the man who had shorted him’s money, only to find out later that the man was to take his uncle ben’s car & shoot him in the street. his uncle dying in his arms is what drives him to use his powers for good & so he does. 

at age fifteen peter starts earning a name for himself as spider-man. he wears a costume made from on sale goodwill items & takes it upon himself to protect new york city. he starts building different gadgets to help him do just that ( goggles that help him focus his vision, web shooters, ect. ) he builds a suit for himself & starts gaining the attention of the public. a video of him goes viral on the internet & spider-man catches the attention of tony stark, who recruits him for a set of events that loosely follow the MCU civil war/homecoming plot lines. i want to make a seperate post about this, but it opens doors that were previously closed. he improves his suit with the help of tony stark & starts to view himself as on the same playing field as the rest of the vigilantes he encountered.

unless we have plotted a ship for our characters, at age fifteen peter also meets the future love of his life…ruby rose ( @combatpetals )!  when she’s sent by S.H.I.E.L.D to keep tabs on the spider-boy.

at age sixteen peter encounters electro for the first time. this is his first really traumatic fight - the first villain he encounters that he feels that he can’t win against. he almost dies during his first fight with the villain & has to adapt. he builds new gadgets, he fights to protect the people of new york & he wins. this is, however, the first time it really sinks in how deadly the path in life he has chosen is. 

at seventeen peter parker spends his summer fighting a list of different villains. they seem to come out in response to someone like spider-man existing.

at ages seventeen to eighteen peter goes into his senior year after a summer of stopping gang wars & putting the smackdwon on crime in new york city. he’s tired but had no intention of stopping - this is when he first encounters the symbiote, which is explained in detail in this post. peter gets rid of the symbiote when he realizes how it affects his mind & that it is living by destroying his body.  

at age eighteen he encounters the green goblin for the first time. this happens near the end of the symbiote arc & the two events overlap. the events of this arc are put into motion when norman osborn becomes obsessed with recreating the serum that gave spider-man his powers. when he believes he has created it, he takes it. he gains enhanced physical abilities, but the serum affects his mind & drives him temporarily crazy. peter apprehends him & he gets out of any trouble by claiming the serum affected his mind & caused him to wreak havoc ( paying off the right officials helped too. ) 

at age eighteen peter hangs up his suit ( temporarily ) he needs time to process all of the things that have happened over the past three years. the end of his senior year is dedicated to trying to fix grades that had slipped & get into college. 

YOUNG ADULT[ AGE 19-24 ]

at age nineteen he begins college, fresh out of highschool. without  the suit he feels lost & throws himself into his studies. he finds comfort in the work of otto octavius once more & gets back in touch with himself & the friends he had drifted away from near the end of his high school career. he begins to explore more of himself & uses this time for self reflection & gets a job at the daily bugle.            ( though this is flexible, this is when he meets gwen stacy & they hit it off pretty quickly! they become study-buddies and begin spending more time with one another & it ends in a budding romance. )

at age twenty peter is forced to put his mask back on when wilson fisk’s grasp on the city becomes too tight. peter knows that he can’t just sit back & watch the crimelord run new york city & that no matter how hard he tried to ignore it, he was still spider-man. he had a responsibility to help those around him & so he would. it’s another hallowing experience to go toe to toe with the crimelord, but he does. it shoots him back into the life of a hero & protecting the city he loves. plus, it helps that the bugle pays a bit more money for pictures of the wall crawler.

at age twenty, shortly after his confrontation with fisk he enters a relationship with gwen stacy! 

at age twenty peter has to deal with the threat of fisk once more, when he get’s out of prison & resumes his place as the kingpin of new york. spider-man becomes a regular pest for the crimelord, but doesn’t get close enough to tear his operation down again for a hot second. 

there’s a spot in between these two events that’s yet to be worked out; i will return to it & update it one day when i’ve had time to really think about it. just know that in this time, gwen & peter split ( maybe gwen’s death will go here, but i’m not sure yet ) & he ends up in a relationship with ruby rose.

at ages twenty-two to twenty-three peter graduates college & applies to work under his idol, otto octavius. this is followed by the events of the insomniac game, where he faces the sinister six & encounters miles morales for the first time. 

between ages twenty-three to twenty-four peter starts unofficially working alongside with the avengers on bigger problems. more & more often. this is about when he starts considering the group his peers rather than his superiors.

New character, His name is Issac :/ 

He’s a bit of a shy boy, too scared to talk to people, he tries to keep to himself mostly.
