Got some good sleep last night so I’ve woken up early—I’m gonna ramble on about the tgf spider man au now…
Started to think about what Earth to set it on and became very stressed about the possibility the number I wanted already being taken (was going to give an exact number but there are literally so many of them) but!!!!!! Earth 1654 is NOT taken by marvel so yippee! 1654 is the year The Goldfinch was painted and the year the painter died sadly. Though I’m not really set on this number yet, it looks very unappealing to me lmao so I might change it to Earth 1641, a more visually appealing number to me and the year Fabritius (painter) moved to Amsterdam.
I had this great thought last night because I remembered that Mr Larry Decker once had a minor acting career so yk what’d be good was if had once acted in an (in universe) Spider man movie. Not the main role of spider man of course, they would not be moving to a desert in the middle of no where if he was a famed Spider man actor. OR OR OR maybe Spider man was not a hit film adaptation in their universe, maybe it was never in played in big cinemas internationally, maybe their Spider man was a shitty movie nobody really knew well unless you were really into the small New York directors. Maybe then Larry could’ve played a really shitty Spider man and not gone famous because well the movie never got famous. And little Theo grew up just watching the movie on repeat because his asshole of a father only ever had copies of movies he was in inside the house and Spider man was Theo’s favourite. Idk though. Maybe I could just stick the first idea and he’s just some rando character on the sidewalk
Pippa would be living in London by the time the fact that there is a real life helpful spider man in New York was well known. I think she’d be very happy about it, personally. I mean like she’d probably really like the fact that it means that someone is protecting citizens and trying to keep the trouble out of Lower Manhattan (that’s where Hobie’s shop is located I think (I have NO fucking idea how America helps lord help me)) and he would probably make her feel safer about being so far from home. I imagine her mentioning this and Theo getting all flustered, her asking why, but him having to refuse because how could he tell her that HE is spider man and that she was just giving him lots of compliments and comfort
I imagine Kitsey working for the Daily Bugle, she can be a tabloid girlie for sure, and she’s the one tryna snap photos of spider man for the newspapers. I think thats funny. Kitsey complaining about how spider man hasn’t even been spotted on the streets for the last few days and then Theo is trying to be all sympathetic about it when in actuality he’s been dealing with Lucius Reeve for the past few days and hasn’t had the time or need to put on his suit
