#Gwen herself

[nympippi]

The amazing, the clairvoyant, the girl who will beat anybody’s ass, Gwendolyn Blake!!

In this au Gwen is pretty much the same, except she’s learning to accept her gift and is actively experimenting with it.

In this au, Gwen gets really interested in criminal justice and helping people like she did with the boys before they came back. She likes putting her gift to good use and helping others,

She is an honorary ghost boy along with Finney, but she’s also the boys little sister, they always try to look out for her in some way. But yeah she doesn’t really change much in this au.

Y'all since we already know that Gwen can and probably does look at Peter B being happy now and think how her Peter never got a chance for a better life cuz he died so young because she accidentally killed him now imagine she goes to Earth-42 and finds Miles-42 fatherless and she knows that she almost let that happen to this Miles. I get that we assume Miles will understand that she had her own problems and was forced to be in Spider Society and he would eventually forgive her but I'm saying that I don't think she will forgive herself, ever.

fun little headcanon that me and @thswrtchdthng cooked up because it deserves its own post:

lena kelley's pronouns are she/her until she's being addressed by one of her superiors. they refer to her exclusively by he/it.

Thinking about how Ben putting the Omnitrix back on is a wordless agreement that he's changing Gwen's life, too. Putting it back on doesn't just affect himself, it's also dragging his cousin back into it when she's got so much going on in her life already and so much more going for her if she takes a normal path than Ben does. But Gwen doesn't say anything about herself, and Ben doesn't ask, either. He puts the Omnitrix back on and they both already know that Gwen will follow him into Hell if that's where his heroism takes him. Of course she will, of course. They don't even need to say it.

Thinking about how Celia and Sam got hired to replace Teddy. Both have questions they really want answers to (Celia wants to know how she can stay in TMAGP dimension and Sam wants to know what happened at the Magnus Institute.)

Alice spends most her time taking care of the people around her (even if it's sometimes not in the healthiest way). Her brother, Sam, Gwen, Teddy and Colin. We see her trying to support them all through out the series.

Gwens determined to improve her status. She doesn't know what an external liaison is but she wants the title. She doesn't even know what Lena does but she wants the job. It's not about knowing more it's about the people around her seeing her as more.

Celia and Sam's goals = mind

Alice goals = soul

Gwen = body (as in she wants to improve her physical standing. Not build relationships or improve her knowledge.)

It might be worth relistening to see if that changes my mind, but as of this episode I am absolutely convinced that Lena's pulling a TMA!Gertrude by way of keeping everything deliberately inefficient and inconvenient. I'm not saying she's secretly good, I think she's FIRMLY team "this is the lesser evil", but for someone who puts such an emphasis on maintaining balance, I think that obviously includes making sure whoever she answers to doesn't get too powerful in the process.

I kinda wouldn't be surprised if Lena's our first death, now that Gwen's made this move. From episode one, we've known Gwen wants Lena's job and that she thinks she can do it better, and that's exactly what she wants to accomplish by selling her out to Trevor. And I have absolutely no doubt that, whether Lena dies or just gets fired or whatever other fate, hell is REALLY going to break loose with her gone. Gwen's clearly intelligent and conniving when she wants to be, but she is NOT prepared for whatever comes next, let alone take over.

Because, yeah. Getting rid of Lena is gonna throw off the balance of everything.

miles thinks about gwen whenever he hears skater boy btw. he told me himself.

[prentissology]

i rewatched the scene with Gwen and Miguel (+the whole society) where he sends her back and it was just so…., obv when i first watched it in the cinema it seemed cruel to me and the fact that he was doing this to a child didn’t sit right. but after looking at the scenes close up and looking through them - what the actual fuck?

like here you have Miguel, a full grown adult, who forcibly sends Gwen (a terrified vulnerable teenager who had to watch her best friend get chased by hundreds of people who she thought wouldn’t harm him) back home with the machine, and it’s so??? the way she was trying to get out - the crowd basically just watching her get sent back to a place where she has no stable support system, and nobody to help her. (also, the machine restraining her made me feel sick to my stomach oh god.)

and when Gwen looks at Jess and says that they were supposed to be the good guys. oh good god. somebody give her happiness, please.

I've had this theory for a while now, and me n my friend (@nightshadetq ) have talked about it a bit as The Magnus Protocol continues, but I really don't think Alice's indifference to the paranormal/statements/cases ect ect is proof that she like. Has no idea what's going on, or will be in for a rude awakening.

[Note: this post is not free from spoilers up to episode 18]

I think she knows a decent amount of what's actually going on, and is trying to protect Sam (or her uninformed coworkers in general) from getting in too deep.

Other than Lena, who I assume has been the boss since Alice arrived, Alice has worked at the OIAR the longest, "nearly a decade" and has consistently told Sam not to look into anything, to not be curious, and to just do his job, and those moments are when she is the most serious, an odd departure from her typical attitude, very likely a coping or defense mechanism (or survival tactic) on her part.

We also have how she and Colin interact, and her conversation with Teddy in the most recent episode (18 as of writing). While yes, her and Colin's unlikely duo could be in part simply a fun dynamic, grumpy/sunshine, whatever, but we also don't really know what has happened within the last near decade of Alice working at the OIAR. The only person Colin likes is Alice, perhaps because she's the only one he trusts, or maybe they went through something together, that's mostly speculation on my part I'll admit.

What's more interesting is Alice and Teddy's conversation, the weight of Alice calling Teddy a liar, her saying to herself for Teddy to "watch himself" because she's worried. I would point out we have no idea how long Teddy worked at the OIAR, though in episode one there's a mention of "another four years" which implies he's worked there about that amount of time, and so Alice had still worked there the longest.

Honestly it would be weird if Alice hadn't seen weird shit pre-canon given how long she's been there, and that despite the jobs turnover rate hasn't quit despite everything, almost like she's obligated, to the job perhaps not, but maybe to the other people working, given we know that people can and have quit. Of course it could also just be the getting a new job is difficult and she has a younger brother to help out occasionally, but truthfully I find it a bit difficult to believe that being the only reason she wouldn't have quit by now.

Also interesting that the only thing Alice said in response to Gwen talking about Mr. Bonzo, where Sam laughs and thinks she's joking, is after she leaves saying "Curiosity will get you killed, best try and ignore it" wherein Alice clowning on Gwen is what I, at the least, would expect in response. Yes, she questions Gwen interacting with monsters, but she doesn't push her to talk about it, and in fact, gave her an out on what the Externals are.

Considering both Gwen and Sam didn't know about them until 1. Gwen asking Lena to let her "in" and getting work about/for the Externals, and 2. Sam just now being informed. Meanwhile Alice has a fake explanation on what they are, providing Sam with said explanation, therefore shielding him from the truth of the matter, and letting Gwen not have to talk about it, only for Gwen to then say what they actually are. So either Alice already knew what an External was, and lives by the "if you don't know about the real goings on nothing will happen to you" deal and tries to act the part herself, or someone who no longer works at the OIAR AND worked with Externals told her that that was what they were, which I'll admit is also a possibility.

There is also her seeing the drowning victim and her reaction to them. Her primary issue as I remember it was the dead body, given how she implies she hadn't seen a dead body since her parents passed. However, her having a negative reaction to a dead body doesn't mean she hasn't seen other freak shit. There is also the option that she lied about not having seen a dead body since her parents, and she (rightfully) still has an averse reaction to them, though I don't necessarily believe this myself, I am presenting it as an option.

Maybe I'm talking out my ass, but I really don't think Alice has completely avoided everything up until now, especially given how weirdly cagey she is about anyone (mainly Sam, but they have a history so maybe she feels responsible for him in some way) getting curious about what they do, or wanting to look into the cases they receive. If she didn't know anything at all, I don't know why she'd care about someone getting curious about their cases, or at least care as much as she seems to.

Gwen must tell Miles that she loves him in BTSV or I will eat my favourite boots. Apology isn't enough for me she NEEDS TO TELL HIM HE HEEDS TO KNOW SHE HAS TO FINALLY GET IT OUT OF HER SYSTEM HE THINKS SHE DOESN'T LOVE HIM AND SHE HAS BEEN HOLDING THIS IN FOR TOO LONG
