I can’t draw for shit but I am locking in the concept of a spidersona from an Atlantis-esque New York that is flooded due to climate change and rising sea levels that’s based on Desis and Diving bell spiders

#I say locking in AS A JOKE multiple people can have the same idea Ive already seen multiple diving bell spider people and they’re all lovely #A real oh boy two cakes moment yknow #Anyway tag rant time #[blank] Parker a high school student living in the lower levels of a flooded New York #Where buildings were air sealed and protected but in poorer neighborhoods not very well #Seals will crack and leak and it’s not particularly uncommon to find out your neighbor drowned in his sleep because his apartment flooded #So they develop a web fluid that can seal the cracks and can harden underwater and works better than anything currently on the market #Cheap to make too #Word gets out and they’re invited to their universe equivalent of oscorp or alchemax or whatever that’s above the water in some skyscraper #And big corporation does as big corps do #wants to buy the rights to the web fluid and sell it back to people who need it to survive at a horribly inflated price #Parker doesn’t like that obvs and on the way out gets bitten by a radioactive spider #And Spider-Man plot progresses from there #I’m thinking big corp tries to steal the web recipe (either through break-in/espionage or maybe some hired muscle intimidation)#and either way the uncle Ben stand-in dies in the crossfire #Powers include the usual super strength climbing walls etc #Also can stand on the surface of water and hold breath a really long time #And can make airtight webbing with their web fluid that can make air pockets #Their superhero suit is a repurposed diving suit #….it only now occurs to me this may be in poor taste due to recent events #Sorry I got underwater shit in the brain #I wonder why #Anyway #theyre part of the spider society but only technically #They’re kinda mid compared to other spider folks so they Don’t really come into play much unless it’s an aquatic mission #Miguel raises the alarm for miles and theyre like “yeah? Ok well if he jumps into any pools lemme know”#Also like. Water and electricity powers do not mix so only spiders without that ability can come help them in their universe #And not all web fluids are waterproof #And most normal webslinging is kinda hard with the drag underwater…#They may or may not be kinda lonely
