#night monkey

[fandomnerd9602]

While Gwen was off with the Spider Society, Y/N ends up getting Spider powers and was essentially forced to become a hero and hold down the fort. And let’s just say they’re, initially, not very happy with Gwen once she finally comes back.

Band Mates

Gwen Stacy x Spider!Reader

First Person POV

If it wasn’t the fact that my best friend, Gwen Stacy aka the Ghost Spider, disappeared with that Spider Society that got me down, then it would have to be the other thing that happened less than a week later.

I were investigating Oscorp for a news article for the Daily Bugle, when one of their little spider experiments bit me. Turns out it was part of an experiment to replicate Gwen’s powers. So one spider bite later and now New York has a new spider person guarding it. More often than not I feel like the clean up crew. I mean it’s not all bad, my only job was Uber Eats delivery, so imagine the delight of customers getting their eats delivered by the Night Monkey. Yeah that’s seriously the name I went with. The only name not taken, I think.

And then came today. I was out on patrol, going after the Vulture. Pretty standard stuff when suddenly another set of webbing trapped the criminal.

“And who are you supposed to be?” A familiar voice asks me.

I turn and there she was the Ghost Spider. “Night Monkey” I answer back. “Picking up where you left off”

I tried to swing away but Gwen was persistent, swinging after me. Didn’t take her too long to catch up to me. “Slow down!” she practically ordered me.

“Why should I?” I countered, “you left! And I had to play janitor because of you”

“I get it! You’re mad” she answers back.

Our webs entangled, spinning around each other. I nearly slam into her, I try to hold her at arms length.

“You left, Gwen” i answer.

“Y/N?!” Gwen removed her mask and removed mine. “you’re a-”

“yeah you can blame Oscorp for that one” i sigh. “why��d you leave?”

“I was hurt” Gwen sniffles back a couple tears, “my dad was against me”

“I wasn’t. Nothing you do could turn me against you, Gwen”

“I know. I should’ve taken you with me”

“Why are you back now?”

“They kicked me out.” she huffed, “so much for a new band”

She carried so much hurt, she was still my best friend, my only high school crush. I wrapped a comforting arm around her, trying my best to hug her, “What about our band?”

“In every other universe, Gwen Stacy always falls for Spider-Man and it doesn’t end well”

she sighs, “and if Miguel was right, then it won’t end well for you either.”

“but I’m not Spider Man, remember?” I try to joke with her, “everyone calls me the Night Monkey”

“What?” Gwen laughs at my name. Her smile, it could always brighten the atmosphere.

“It was the only one not taken. I think” i shrug.

“I’m sorry” Gwen looks to my eyesight, and then to my lips. Wait what?

“I’m sorry too” I find myself saying. My spider sense starts going off, but not one of danger. I could feel that Gwen’s was going off too. It’s like our two spider senses were starting to coalesce. Her pupils were beginning to dilate, maybe mine were too.

“You just gonna keep staring, Monkey?” Gwen actually smirks at me. I could practically feel my heart beating out of my chest.

Using the hand I still had wrapped around her, I pulled her into a kiss. Man, it was just as amazing as i thought it’d be. She wrapped an arm around my waist, holding me as tight as possible.

My best friend, I thought, she’s a great kisser. We pulled apart, maybe a little too quickly for my taste, she looked back at me with love in her eyes.

“Get a room, you two” Vulture screamed at us as he flew by.

“To be continued?” Gwen asks with a little giggle.

“Definitely” I found myself smiling back as we slipped on our masks and swung after Toomes.

I guess New York’s got two spider people to look after it: Ghost Spider and the Night Monkey. Quite a power couple if I dare say.

Night Monkey

[markhors-menagerie]

Gray-bellied night monkey (Aotus lemurinus)

Night monkeys are a rather odd group; while most monkeys are active in the daytime, night monkeys are nocturnal. Their huge eyes let them see even in the dark, and they have given up the colour vision otherwise common in monkeys. Gray-bellies are found in forests across the eastern edge of the Northern Andes. They eat mostly fruit, but also small animals.

Real Talk: Ace Didn't Need to Ask For Help, It's On Garp

i always hate when i see comments about how ace was an idiot or ace should have just asked garp for help because, no? like dawg wtf do you mean?

the one thing we have been told repeatedly across the manga and anime is that ace could have lived his entire life being perfect and he still would have ended up on that podium

he could have become a marine, a police officer, a teacher, a chef and all of that would have been reduced to nothing the moment his parentage was discovered

yes, ace became a pirate of his own volition, but sengoku never mentioned his piracy

he never mentioned all the criminal activity ace did as the captain of the spade pirates or even later as the second division leader of the whitebeard pirates

you know what sengoku did bring up though the moment he got on that damn podium? ace's parentage

he mentions nothing that gained ace his bounty to begin with when he gets that den den mushi in his hand. why?

because it doesn't matter that ace is a pirate. what matters is that they are eradicating the last gol d roger's bloodline

bear in mind that they were killing pregnant women and young children who could have even had the slightest possibility of being roger's lover or kin

akainu deadass says that he doesn't care if every other pirate at marineford escapes as long as ace and luffy died and he would ensure their deaths personally. and for what? not their piracy. none of their crimes. not even for ensuring that the truth that certain countries and lands that were actually saved by pirates instead of the marines never got out

but because their fathers were gol d roger and monkey d dragon respectively

solely because of that, he deemed neither of them deserved to live

and as far as garp goes - i love garp as much as the next person but garp has never done anything for ace to trust him enough to ask for help even if he felt he deserved to ask

garp's negligent parenting coupled with the abusive words ace grew up hearing led ace to believe he didn't even deserve to be born. when he even asks garp if his being born was a good thing, garp can't even tell him 'yes'. he just says 'time will tell'. my brother in the blue seas, that is an elementary schooler questioning his right to exist

ace is defeated by blackbeard in episode 325 (chapters 434-441), luffy hears about his execution being set in episode 416 (chapter 522) and then finally ace is killed in episode 483 (chapter 574). that is 158 episodes and 140 chapters total and in that time what ace receives from garp are conversations that boil down to

"you did this to yourself"

"i just wanted you to become a fine marine"

"i don't have sympathy for criminals but i do have sympathy for family"

and garp actively preventing those who wish to save ace from reaching him. yes after akainu strikes ace, garp does react viscerally with instinct to protect his grandson, but that's too little too damn late at that point

garp having his moral dilemmas mean nothing when, however long ace spent in impel down, he isn't trying to help him

garp having his 'wishing things had been different' thoughts mean nothing when garp is preventing people from saving his grandson

there's a reason garp lets dadan beat and berate him when they reunite in windmill village and it's because he knows she's right

over the course of 20 years, garp has consistently chosen work over ace and luffy. as much as i love dadan and co, bandits are not a good choice to have raise your grandkids and then be the surprised pikachu meme when neither of them wish to become marines

garp's inability to see past the system he disdains yet clings onto actively shoots him in the foot

prevents him from seeing that ace is right when he says he never could have become a marine

luffy could have never become a marine. i do hear arguments saying that luffy might have had a fair chance considering garp is biologically his grandfather but i say that's truly up in the air considering how, even with that knowledge, akainu still wants to put luffy on a poster

but that's all to say, asking why ace never asked garp for help is ridiculous

the fuck would ace look like asking the man who has done nothing but

unintentionally fostered ace's resentment towards luffy in their early childhood

told ace it was his own fault he landed where he did

falcon punched marco halfway across marineford

for help?

and that's not even mentioning the fact that up until that point, ace didn't believe he deserved to live. he didn't think he had the right to exist. the only thing that kept him going up until that point was hoping he'd find an answer that justified his being born and his love for luffy and sabo. ace tells luffy in his dying breaths if it weren't for the two of them, he would have gave up on living a long time ago

yes, garp loves ace and luffy

he loves them both dearly but he is also incapable of putting them before work, before his ideals of justice. these two truths can coexist at the same time. garp's stubborn to a fault and his moral dilemma resulted in both inaction and the prevention of ace's escape

so to say that marineford would have gone differently if ace had asked is seriously undermining the character work. because in reality, it's up in the air on whether or not that would have done anything. ace asking garp for help could have gone either way and that's the beauty of the gray area regarding garp's actions during the summit war

and yes, i can get why it's frustrating that ace turned around to fight akainu when he could have just left and got it back in a blood a different time

but aside from ace having a temper about specific topics, we do get an answer as to why he couldn't bring himself to runaway when we finally are able to dive into his past with luffy and sabo:

he doesn't want to run away from any situation because ace is deathly afraid of losing something if running away ends up being the bad call

and in that moment, luffy was behind him

even if akainu hadn't talked down whitebeard, ace would have inevitably turned back around because he wouldn't have been able to shake his fear of losing something or someone he cared about

as long as there is something precious for him to potentially lose, ace will never run

he was doomed from the start

his being the son of gol d roger doomed him from the start

and that's what makes ace so tragic
