#tell me she's not. go ahead

I love how, since Cube's route is battle-less, his "battle theme" against OD-10, herself considered one of the most unnerving foes in the game, has an equally creepy track (Unseen Syndrome) to set the match.

Something about AU Vander telling AU Powder she's "too smart to spend her life in a bar" vs telling AU Ekko (as far as he knows, anyway) that he thinks he'd be "running this place soon" makes the latter almost seem like an insult.

Gwen-73 aka "Max Stacy"

*in Ekko’s voice* I had this dream where things went another way. (hehe… brainrot)

I thought I’d elaborate on Max a lil bit–about how this Gwen Stacy’s story compares to /ours/, where the similarities end and the differences begin, how her life’s been affected by not being the one who was bitten instead of Peter Parker, etc. 

Max is just my prediction/interpretation of a character that’s been hinted at to be introduced in BTSV, for those who don’t know back in 2023 Lord and Miller confirmed that Beyond is going to feature alternate versions of Gwen Stacy. They didn't really elaborate further irrc, but what I do remember is that it was said that *one* particular variant is meant to be of service to the main plot in some way. I took this to mean that they’re possibly planning on exploring a similar juxtaposition with the character of Gwen Stacy as they are with Miles Morales–a variant who isn’t a Spider, and how their life would go as a result of The Change. It’d make perfect sense for this to be the direction they should go in, since Spider-Gwen’s arc isn’t yet complete with how the question of her fate still lies open-ended, and whether she’s going to face her existential crisis. 

So for starters, I call her Max because my headcanon is that that’s what Spider-Gwen decides to address her as, since their middle name is Maxine. Although as I’m typing this–I just thought of this lol–it’d /also/ be tasteful to name her a different part of their first name…Like the “Lyn” part of “Gwendolyn”... yeah that sounds kinda clever... *waves dismissively* Maybe change it later, possibly, idk, whatever.

I want things to be simple, so that means adhering to the status quo of the character’s history if The Change shouldn’t affect that part of the alternate timeline. So for example, Miles G is evidently a more emotionally reserved, tragic, scarred version of Miles because of his Change. Not becoming Spider-Man when he was 14 inadvertently allowed his father to die shortly afterward, so he’s suffered a graver loss and a more corrupt world than what our Miles has. But everything that happened before the direction of their lives had changed remains the same–all the photos of Miles as a child match the ones in 1610, showing that before Jeff’s death, Miles G was the same Miles dancing across the street listening to hip hop posting up art stickers, because why wouldn’t he be? (I think this crucial point is what a lot of fanfic writers and Y/N enjoyers forget about Miles G) So despite his scars, Miles G is still Miles Morales. 

Same thing applies to Max. With her, The Change does a lot–If she didn’t get bitten and gain powers at 13, then Peter didn’t die, her father doesn’t send an angry mob after her, and she wasn’t wallowing in self-isolation. She got straight A’s and made it into Empire State University like in the comics. Is everything easy now? Is her life pristine perfect with extra marshmallows? Well, no obv. Max is like the Miles 1610 to Gwen’s Miles G–seems like the bubblier, more starry eyed positive one by comparison, sure, but they’ll still share core struggles, inner demons that make them who they are in the first place. Max and Miles 1610 just have a more nurturing environment with a healthier support system, because the timelines they live in have allowed it with The Change out of the way. 

Kinda ironic when you think about it, how for Miles Morales, having become Spider-Man was what saved him from a dark future, from losing his way, whereas that same event could seem like the harbinger of said dark future from Gwen’s perspective (which is doubly ironic because little does she know, suffering the curse of being a Spider is exactly what prevents her from the fate of an imminent death to keep the story going as written). 

So let me give you my quick summary. Max and Peter were still childhood friends who got picked on in middle school, Max still always punched back only she was definitely catching hands more often than she could throw them since no powers. In the Spider-Gwen comics, Harry Osborn was a part of their friend group too, so that gets added on (What doesn’t is the part in Gwen’s comics where he leaves for 2 years to join S.H.I.E.L.D. to get weapons to hunt Spider-Woman because Peter isn’t dead, and Gwen isn’t Spider-Woman). 

Peter in high school is usually supposed to be kind of a distant, self-isolating outcast who pushes people away so as the trio age into high school this is what he starts to grow into. Max and Harry stay together and start making new friendships. Meanwhile, Peter gets bitten by the spider at 16. College Years: Max aces AP classes and practically gets invited into ESU with a diamond ring, Harry gets accepted in out of nepotism. They reconcile with a redeemed Flash Thompson and become buddies, light work no reaction, Flash is basically like Groose from Skyward Sword now. ESU is where they cross paths with Peter for the first time in years, except Peter is Spider-Man now and still a social wallflower with a bad temper, but Max /also/ has a temper and a sneer on her face too, because she’s still Gwen Stacy. She just doesn’t have as much need for the sneer on this side of Earth 73. But Gwen doesn’t like Peter’s ‘tude. So now, they’re full-on rivals. yeaaa that's right I SAID ENEMIES TO LOVERS.

I have like, a lot more details to explain about her life and story leading up to the present, and her fashion sense, likes and interests and her design of which I've posted a few drawings of in the past, but this is all pretty much it in terms of how her teens were different from Gwen’s.

Oh and I know nobody asked, but if we’re talking dreamcasting, I say with full adamance Jennifer Lawrence.

hey I just wanted to say that b&g is one of my favorite pieces of undertale art in general. I'm muslim and the way you depict toriel reminds me of my own mother and other older muslim women that I meet a lot. It's very comforting. I don't see a lot of depictions of middleaged muslim women with dignity and respect that often. Of course, I love everything about your au and how you write all the characters, but toriel specifically really hits home for me

aww im really happy to hear that anon thank you :,,---( i remember Toriel originally wasnt supposed to be that big in my B&G world but with other characters getting their own time to shine (Kris and Susie about being teenagers trying to handle their struggles on their own, Undyne in being in her 20s but stuck in the past, etc) Toriel started developing in my mind, and her story is sort of an amalgam of all sorts of mothers and women ive met through babysitting and my own mother (though my mom isnt muslim as im a convert, so its all in just personality) so hearing someone else sees a little of their own mother in her warms me heart :,---] ty again
