harry and gwen geek out over stuff that the other three just don’t understand

to tamper a little bit, harry has arachnophobia

and gwen’s the kid who picked up spiders as a little kid and threw them at people

whether harry has a crush on peter or not is up to you ;) but i can tell you that peter has a type, and it’s redheads

peter absolutely nerds out when it comes to science, but if it’s anything other than that, he’s clueless

like, what compound reacts to this substance? all on that. where the comma goes in the sentence? no idea whatsoever.

MJ: Peter, what’s 9 times 8?

Peter: What? Like I’m supposed to know that off the top of my head?”

MJ: *sigh* Peter what’s the formula for gravity?

Peter: Oh! That’s simple, so-

and peter is absolute garbage at spelling (unless it’s science related ofc). can’t spell worth a flip AND has terrible handwriting.

meanwhile gwen excels in every subject

mj and harry aren’t the brightest (mj having As and Bs while harry has more Cs than As). flash can barely keep his grade above a 55, but he’s not totally stupid

i don’t want to pull a dirk from bazaardvark, but flash liked physics

i mentioned earlier that mj has a beefy build. that’s because she’s super athletic

she can (and will) outrun you.

even peter with his spider powers has a hard time keeping up

sadly for peter, he is not coordinated for any type of sport despite his acrobatic abilities

MJ: Pete! You should try out for a school sport! I’m sure you’ll be great at it!

MJ, after she watched Peter play a minute of basketball: please, peter, never touch a pigskin.

mj and gwen also participate as cheerleaders. mj is a base and, well, gwen holds a sign. mj also loves doing flips on the mat.

overall, the girls love playing powderpuff football the most

and that’s because mj DOMINATES the field with it

and gwen enjoys absolutely cutting lose with face paint on

all the boys are secretly glad that they don’t have to face them

for the powderpuff game, peter makes sure to dress up and cheer for the girls even though he looks like an actual goose while doing it

he can do surprisingly good cheerleading jumps which everyone is surprised at

peter, your spidey is showing

everything else looks terrible

flash also participates in the cheerleading, but he’s more focused on winning the womanless beauty pageant

he’s won each year he’s participated and doesn’t plan on losing that streak

he looks stunning every year, wonder why…

harry doesn’t participate in any of this until his friends force him to one year

he ends up winning the womanless beauty pageant, and is on bad terms with flash for at least a week

he blames it on peter

i don’t know how this got on the topic of homecoming, but i’ll roll with it.

their first homecoming, they all decide to go to the dance together as a group.

flash went with them when he couldn’t find a willing date. since they weren’t that close at the time, this dance definitely strengthened the friendship bonds.

one year, mj asks peter to the dance, and peter was so shocked that he wasn’t able to speak for a couple minutes

mj, the most beautiful girl in school, who hasn’t been seen in a relationship in years, who is also my best friend? THAT mj? just asked ME out to homecoming???

mj eventually took the blushed stuttering as a yes

cue gwen, harry, and flash looking at them and being like, “they grow up so fast”

at the end of the dance, mj gives peter a smooch on the cheek

harry has to hear about it over the phone all night

Harry: So you liked MJ??? and you didn’t tell me?

Peter: Well, it would’ve been awkward… yknow…

Harry: Peter, we dated for like five days.

mj and peter’s relationship never really goes anywhere, though, it does bring their friendship closer

this may or may not be because i’m a sucker for gwenmj

anyways, like i said, peter has a thing for redheads

so one night he has a crisis about harry and mj because he realizes that they’re both drop dead gorgeous

by chance, gwen texts peter about something and eventually they facetime and peter ends up spilling his heart out to her

gwen keeps her lips sealed

i’m thinking of making norman osborn a woman because other villains are genderbended, but never norman. but also i like man norman because he’s 10x more hatable.

harry loves his dad for like the first half, but it’s hard for him to love him after a while.

flash’s place is a dump

he has an older sister in college though, and sometimes he’ll stay with her

they’re always there for each other, and when she finds out flash actually made some friends, she’s so proud of him

they all love the avengers. if there’s anything that connects them besides friendship, it’s the avengers.

peter’s always talking about iron man, gwen talks about how much mj looks like black widow, mj thinks hawkeye deserves more, harry knows almost as much about each of them as peter, and flash thinks spiderman’s still better than all of them

gwen 100% thinks steve rogers and bucky barnes are married, but no one else in the group sees it

peter does soon find out what she means when on an unscheduled mission with them one day

he’s begging them to just kiss already. it’s hard to watch

the gang does end up becoming involved with spiderman’s antics from time to time

gwen was handed a web shooter once, mj has been saved multiple times, harry, ofc, sees him almost every other day, and flash turned into venom once

harry’s the first to find out about peter when trying to kill spiderman. harry unmasks peter and is shocked, allowing spiderman to escape

once gwen heard spiderman say “with great power comes great responsibility” she knew exactly who it was

mj connects the dots after gwen

and they have to straight up tell flash for him to get it

in the end, they’re all a bunch of idiots who love each other

Here are drawings of how I think each of them look (yes these were Inktober drawings)

Peter Parker: honestly, i just tried to combine all the versions, but he’s just a basic white boy

Harry Osborn: inspired by the comics and spectacular spiderman versions

MJ Watson: inspired by the MSM2017 and MCU versions

Gwen Stacy: inspired by the comics and spider-gwen versions
