demetri ships as my fav spiderman ships
me procrastinating everything and anything: you know what tumblr really needs? more of my ck x spiderman bs...
but actually this really is just me rambling
also these don't necessarily take place in the same universe, bc the dynamics wouldn't make sense together, so definitely don't think too hard about it like i am, this is just fun
childhood bffs to enemies to lovers
huge identity changes they both have to adjust to
original recipe, i mean does a spiderman/demetri queer ship get more classic than this?
also already covered this whole au so yeah, i've thought a lot about this one in particular
eli found out about his secret identity after trying to kill spider-man the first time, he tried three times before realizing his childhood best friend was more important than getting revenge on spider-man
interwebs - sametri (platonic)
demetri would be more like ned but shhhhh
basically just a really strong sibling dynamic, sam is his guy in the chair
"okay don't go near mason ave, it's crawling with vulture's goons...DEMETRI WHY ARE YOU HEADING IN THAT DIRECTION?"
"wha- you said to go to mason ave!"
she worries about him a lot but she can't do much since she doesn't have powers. what she can do is help demetri by clearing away civilians when he's in the middle of a fight and help him do research on his enemies (which he constantly worries about bc he knows it could put a target on her back but he does as much as he can to keep her away from danger)
she found out his secret identity early on when she went to his house to check on him after a fight with kyler (that he shockingly won) and he entered his bedroom in his full spidey suit without seeing her
his mom walked in after he took off the suit, which led to a really awkward conversation and an even more awkward running joke ("people like spiderman can only do so much to protect us if we aren't careful ourselves...like a condom. which i hope is a familiar friend between you and that samantha girl." "oh my god mom, i've told you A MILLION TIMES nothing is going on between me and sam!" "i'm just saying, you can do what you want, as long as you don't make me a young grandmother-" "MOM STOP-")
being spiderman's best friend isn't something sam thinks about too much, he's still just demetri, her awkwardly tall and skinny younger brother
opposites attract dynamic
"i don't agree with ur methods but we're working together against a common enemy"
not really enemies, not really friends, but a secret third thing (LOVERS)
tbh demetri would be more deadpool than robby but for pairings sake, this works
imagining robby being like a lone rebel, more vigilante/anti-hero than spiderman (obvi) and meeting demetri and being like "woah ur so silly, i like you, have a cupcake" and demetri stressing like "no you can't just kill these guys, they have families- PUT HIM DOWN! NO, I MEANT GENTLY!"
robby does know his secret identity but he prefers to interact with him in the suit (it's due to both of their slight insecurities in how they look, despite the other very much not caring what they look like)
miguel/johnny having that ladies' man swagger and demetri/peter being a flustered mess over it
miguel helping demetri in a few battles and flying away with a heart fire trail behind him every time
just an overall really sweet flirty ship
miguel doesn't know his secret identity at first. one day, demetri loses his suit and needs to borrow a fantastic four suit until he can get his own suit back. miguel finds his spider suit and brings it to him but holds it back to flirtingly ask what he looks like with nothing on. demetri rolls his eyes and takes off his makeshift mask (a paper bag).
"there, that's all you're getting, fire boy, can you give me my suit back now?...why are you staring at me like that?"
"no i'm not- look, just give me my suit. i have to get back on patrol."
"i think i'm just gonna burn this suit actually. i don't want you covering that pretty little face again."
petermj/spidercat - yasmetri
petermj bc this is the classic classic, i will find you in every universe, strings of fate soulmate deal
spidercat bc yas 100% is a vigilante/anti-hero that likes to mess with demetri's head by committing crimes and then helping him solve some
either she's his forever soulmate or she's a little menace that wreaks havoc on his life, there's no in-between
she doesn't know his secret identity, nor does he know hers, she prefers it that way, makes it more exciting. he doesn't though.
"you're always around this neighborhood, is this where you live?"
"nice try, spider-boy. i'm not that dumb."
"do you at least go to school around here?"
"focus up, arachnid. we're supposed to be keeping an eye out for kravinoff."
"maybe i can tell you some of my favorite stores and you can tell me if you like them too, even if you robbed them."
"i've robbed stores all across the coast, that won't tell you anything."
"a favorite restaurant then?"
I just think it'd be funny for demetri and axel's dynamic to carry over into spiderman universe, just demetri being like "how and why is this guy shifting suits mid-fight? and why does he always switch his accent?" and just wanting to know what his origin story could possibly be, what his powers are related to, what his superhero name is, what his motives are, etc.
he just has a really gross curiosity about what any of what he does even means and axel is just like "idk i'm on my own mission rn lol"
they don't know each other's secret identities
(also unrelated but THE HEADBAND MATCHING MOONKNIGHT'S LOGO DKJKJKKLS)
star-crossed lovers, meant to be and doomed to never interact in canon
made by someone who was probably insanely psychotic and sleep-deprived (i wonder who that could be...)
who's making the pregnant elsa/kwon fanart fr
kwon doesn't know his secret identity
