#a menace to society: mainverse.

[hypnoesis]

𝐀 𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐎𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐓𝐘 — power is bestowed upon one who’s dedication to responsibility is expected to achieve and go beyond their limits. for gwen, those limits tend to be as thick as black ice when winter hits new york city. each passing day and night hardly ceased to lessen its pressure on pale shoulders and yet somehow, gaining the muscle to maintain and keep balance in her life helped set a few guidelines for the spider to follow. gwen stacy, the biochem major by day, metal drummer by some nights — all around spiderwoman for the city. as chaotic as it sounds, truth in the balance reminds her that sacrifice is a necessary compromise. even if it means being hunted down by her enemies and her own father… and all of new york’s finest.

//////////////////////////////

this takes place between the years of gwen’s identity being revealed and post— divergent from the main storyline and into my own perspective. gwen stacy is a blend of e-616 and e-65, meaning her love for biochemistry still remains in tact as well as molding a career in the field. she maintains a stable relationship with her social life, her band, keeping a part-time job and keeping the city safe until those years progress as she gets older and her responsibilities change (there are two fc choices for the timeline progression.)

4. Favourite thing about roleplaying? 12. Have you any old muses that you’d love to bring back? 15. What do you look for in a rp partner? 24. What about your muse are you most proud of?

4. Favorite thing would have to be the freedom to go BONKERS with ideas and language. I always had books and writing as a sort of escape from the real world, the only thing I could control the flow of. And when you find a good RP partner? Oh man it's just like I presume drug addiction is like. It's just so fucking good I can't get enough. 12. Old muses I'd want to bring back? other than my OC boi that I bring into every damn universe because he's the god of dimension, perhaps my Alex Mercer? I never really got to write him too much but it was fun the dumb little skits I'd make up on my own when I was a teen. More than likely my boi Kiel though. 15. What I look for is heart. You gotta love your character, but also you gotta love the idea of writing, of pushing the boundaries of your muse, of being unafraid to be different. I thrive off that. Take nothinglikegod for example, top notch wolfwood, 10/10 energy, matches what they get as much as they can. The amount of ideas flung around between us, the casual concepts that have developed into full blown goal pickets for us to reach in our stories. It gives be so much energy. Or geraniumshurricane. Best Vash on the market, a full menace to society and if you have an idea, they'll grab at you like a feral animal. They're so eager for fun and hyped for ideas, down for some angst, but also frothing at the mouth for the silly, the goofy, the cute and the downright pure wholesome. So, really I look for the energies, and it all starts with interactions, with DMs is where I figure out where I stay. Thank you for reminding me to make a mains tab (and just yknow finish my revamp I started nearly a week ago rip me). 24. Personally? About my muse? Probably the art. My wife designed my mainverse Nai and Woowoo, but I designed Legato. It's honestly just a merge of the old and the new with a few special twists, but I'd probably say their designs. That and that my Legato is a weird ass fucking pendulum like damn I love him, I have so much fire and energy to write his energetic chaos of love and hatred. I'm eager to write more on his dark verse. If we're not just talking muse but things attached? My special verse tags for my main babies. I work hard on my verse/ship and nsfw tags, I like my goofy memes and my songs that match the vague overarching vibe of the idea for that thing Thank you for asking! Now here's some nachos

Re: My previous post—

Kathleen would have to die for the "Vivian is Raised by Damion for some God-forsaken Reason AU" to happen. There's no way in hell Kathleen would willingly allow her daughter to fall into Damion's custody unless he was literally the only other person alive and she was about to die (even if it's probably more merciful to let Vivian die with her).

Once Kathleen is dead, Patrick injects some of Theo's DNA into Viv and changes her last name to "Daskalakis" because he believes that's the closest thing he'd get to starting a family with Theo (which would be true in this AU because, surprise, Patrick is dying too!).

Because Patrick died and he injected just enough DNA for her to show up as biologically related to Damion, Viv gets tossed off to him as her closest living relative. She goes to Damion and not Theo because...Damion still works for Weissdorn and he'd be on the Triumvirate's radar more than Theo, who defected and is living in poverty (plus, the last thing Theo needs is another kid after he just had Dedrick).

It's bold of me to assume Damion would even keep Vivian considering he only had Theo to carry on the family name. Not only is Viv a girl (meaning she's not carrying on jack-shit in this Patriarchal Society), I feel like he'd HAVE to know that there's no way for Viv to be a legitimate Daskalakis. Unless he's so protective of his bloodline that he'd prefer to raise his bastard granddaughter than to throw his own blood in an orphanage, this is where the AU would end and nothing would be accomplished besides making Ebony and Theo more miserable I guess.

...but that's not really fun, so I'm going to go into "This will almost certainly never happen but I'll play in the theoretical sandbox because I want to" territory.

I'm not sure how Damion would even raise a girl. Part of me feels like he's too sexist to consider Viv a successor and would marry her off to whoever so she isn't his problem anymore, but I also know he doesn't really bother with the arranged marriage stuff and he'd have no motivation to marry off Viv besides getting rid of her (especially since he's going to have to pay a dowry in order to secure a deal). As cute as it'd be to see Viv thaw Damion's cold heart...that's never happening. If his own son couldn't melt his frozen shell, I doubt some random baby that's supposedly related to him would do anything. I'm just going to put huge question marks here because I don't know enough about Damion to really know what the dynamic would be like (ie. is Damion okay with hitting girls? ...like I could probably see him hitting Penelope because she's a complete menace, but would he be violent towards a girl otherwise?).

I guess I could roughly guesstimate how Viv would turn out if she was raised by Damion?

Viv would definitely have some of Damion's homophobia internalized in her...honestly, her orientation would make this AU interesting considering that it's closer to Damion's than Theo's is. Being demiromantic/demisexual, Viv only develops feelings for people who she gets close to or trusts. If the way Damion raised Theo is any indication...Viv is highly unlikely to trust anyone and would functionally be aro/ace like Damion. Maybe Damion wouldn't feel so alone? ...or maybe because he doesn't have the words to describe his orientation, he'd just assume Viv is Superior like him for not concerning herself with frivolous things like courtship. I highly doubt Viv would even have the opportunity to meet Zanna because something tells me Damion wouldn't want his child to interact with her for...many reasons.

Viv was already someone who would throw herself into her studies to distract herself from the void in her life and this would be amplified by 100 here. It'd be interesting if there's a parallel with AU!Viv working hard to be Damion's successor like MainVerse!Viv had studied to be Patrick's successor, but again, idk how keen Damion would be on passing on his legacy to a female. Maybe I'm being presumptuous and Damion is too distanced from society to be sexist, but at the same time, his whole character is centered around fitting the role he was given and it's very difficult not to know why people aim for having sons instead of daughters. I don't think Damion is petty enough to raise Viv to be a better successor than Theo just to rub it in his face but, again, maybe I'm wrong.

What I do know is that since Damion is her only parental figure in this AU (since it doesn't seem like any of Damion's staff acted as parental figures to Theo, if Damion has staff), Viv would strive to gain Damion's approval. If this means she sends all of her classmates into the infirmary because she pours all of her energy into dueling, that's just what she'll do. I don't think she'd be attached to Damion considering his parenting style doesn't seem to allow for that, but she would be loyal to him. She plans on taking care of Damion when/if he gets too old to take care of himself because she Owes it to him for raising her into the resilient woman she is. Idk if she'd be 100% Girl Damion™, but she'd be pretty damn close.
