#verse: the spectacular spinneret ( renew your vows )

[spinxeret]

+ @webxfshame liked for a one-liner !

+ " I promise you , i'm FINE ! "

[spinxeret]

+ " I had one of those once upon a time . Turns out that most MODELLING AGENCIES ? They don't exactly look fondly on bringing a BABY carrier to work with you. " That and the entire business with a series of UNWANTED advances leading to her ASSETS being frozen and an EVICTION notice coming hand-in-hand . In the end, Mary Jane was CONFIDENT that she'd had the last laugh after all .

Still, having a SKYLIGHT would make the OUTINGS with the Spider-Fam just a tad bit EASIER now that she LOOKED at it ...

" Thinking of some good IDEAS already I'm assuming . " She teased gently , reaching out to just as playfully NUDGE the other's side with her costumed elbow . Keeping an ever WATCHFUL eye on her daughter , now CONTENTLY munching away on her two burgers , MJ reached over to retrieve her SHAKE again .

" Some of them might be a bit TOUCHY with their names . You already know that. "

❝ Luxury penthouse suite in Central Park West, but- that's a real mouthful when 'apartment' gets the feeling across just as well. ❞

It surprised her just how few Spider-People were financially well off. For a collection of some of 'the smartest minds' in the living multiverse, it was obscene how few of them owned a single patent, or something. Felicia needed tutoring to get through college, but even she was outstripping- Ah, better not.

No need to kick a man while he was still on Paternity Leave.

❝ I can't lie? I really do appreciate the 'powerset' & 'gender' naming conventions. They're so absolutely creatively bankrupt, but I love them. ❞

Iron Man. Invisible Woman. Catchy and straight to the point. Bangers- Oh! There's the juice box! Hell yeah.

❝ Feel like, as a community, we need to get together and go over all our naming conventions... At the very least, we could get 'Spider Society' changed. ❞

*kisses her neck* "Special day for you?" Trick question because he knows every second she breathes is a special day. For her, and for him as well.

National Kiss A Ginger Day !

+ " Mmmm, you could say it is ... " She teased lightly, giving a waggle of her brows as she felt the KISS to her neck . It was TEMPTING fate , certainly, especially with the shade of RED that was spilling into her face all so QUICKLY . Tilting her head to the SIDE, she easily moved to CATCH her lips against her own . " But keep GUESSING, baby . It's fun . "

Let's do a history of every Spider-Woman and Spider-Girl to have their own series. First up is Jessica Drew who really never had much to do wit the main Spider-Man series. She got her first series in 1978 and for a long time it was thought she was a hyper evolved spider!

Since appearing in Into the Spider-Verse, Gwen Stacy has been the most prominent of the lady spider people. Looking at these covers you can see Marvel has struggled with what to call her. Spider-Gwen makes perfect sense to readers but she can't be called that in story right? How about Ghost Spider? Whoops everyone is still calling her Spider-Gwen.

The Clone Saga and the kidnapping of MJ's baby never to be mentioned again made the 90s a rough time for Spidey fans. If anything good came from it it was the 1998 debut of Mayday Parker the Spectacular Spider-Girl. She's from an alternate world where Pete and MJ retired and their teenage daughter takes her uncle Ben Reilly's costume to become her own hero.

Aña Corazón first appeared as Araña in 2004's Amazing Fantasy relaunch. Eventually she got a new costume reminiscent of Julia Carpenter's and took the Spider-Girl name. Her whole deal comes from the Spider-Society that fights the Wasp-Society. That has become a key point the Spider-Verse comics.

Cindy Moon AKA Silk fist appeared in 2014 but her origin is that she was bitten by the same radioactive spider as Peter Parker. She was then locked away in a tower until she was an adult. When she first shows up there's this thing about her an Pete's spider-senses interacting in a way that makes them irresistible to each other and it sucks. After that her comics are great! (even though they keep relaunching with new #1's)

Okay but that's not even the half of it. Julia Carpenter first shows up in Secret Wars with almost no explanation but she's Spider-Woman for a while. Then she becomes Arachne and now the 2nd Madame Web. She's always struggled with having someone else's gimmick but she's in a good spot now.

Mattie Franklin took the name Spider-Woman in 1999 and there is almost nothing about her story that isn't tragic. She died in 2010 and honestly it was for the best.

Spiderman Renew Your Vows is an alternate universe where Pete and MJ have a kid name Anna-May Parker. Not only is she the teen hero Spiderling but MJ becomes Spinneret the Spider-Mom.

Then there's Ultimate Jessica Drew who unlike the regular version is a clone of Peter Parker. (Ultimate version from the same universe as Miles Morales) She's gone by a ton of names and can be seen here palling around with other cast off clones in the Spider-Verse event.

Bonus covers from Spider-Women and Spider-Girls limited series. You should recognize all these spider ladies now!

Hey there people of today and robots of tomorrow! It's me, Clark, back at least with another #throwbackthursday, just in time for the highly-anticipated Across the Spider-Verse! With Miles set to swing across the big screen again, I figured how would be a good time to show off this piece I made in 2020 featuring my characters from 3K. 3K is set in the year 3000 (hence the super subtle name) where robots are as common as people. So much so that a group of them band together in order to defend the planet from internal and external threats. One of its founding members is AH, a robot who went blind after seeing years of war now fighting for peace. Yet in another dimension she is one of a handful of robots who is infused with the powers of a spider, AH herself dawning the mantle of SpidAH-Girl. She fights crime in New York City alongside her friend ERN-E (Classic Spidey) and EMIL-E (Spider-Gwen).

In case this pic doesn't make it super obvious, I am a huge fan of Mayday Parker's Spider-Girl, her series acting as a gateway for my eventual love of comic books. Having fallen in love with the Raimi trilogy around the same time I discovered Google, I stumbled across the cover for The Amazing Spider Girl #1 and my life was never the same after. May zigged in everyway her father zagged. While she wasn't as physically strong as Peter was, I'd argue she was mentally and morally stronger than her old man ever was. Where Pete thinks that someone dies every time he fails, May sees it as somebody lives every time she succeeds. Along with that she has faster reflexes, a keener spider sense, can magnetize surfaces with her adhesion abilities, and even inherited her mother Mary Jane's sense of style. This is most evident by the fact that she looks way better in Ben Reily's spider suit than Ben himself ever did. On top of that she's a big brother, which is also cool.

I have draw AH as Spider-Girl before, as seen with this sketch from 2019-

However, this pic didn't keep me up until 1 or 2 AM. What can I say, when I get an idea in my head, nothing stops me until I see it completed. Especially when the end result turned out so great. I liked how AH looks in both her super suit and casual clothes, not to mention her lil' logo was a nice personal touch. If I were to change anything now it'd be to swap out EMIL-E's Spider-Gwen outfit for MJ's Spinneret from Renew Your Vows. EMIL-E and ERN-E are supposed to be a couple and by now I've jumped aboard the Miles x Gwen ship. It's the one time I will ever ship a Spider-Man with Gwen outside of Spectacular Spider-Man. Otherwise the reason I drew EMIL-E like this was because of a Halloween pinup my friends SIM-N and I did for Halloween back in 2016.

Looking back now, I wish we had named these pin ups something other than Playbot. Chock it up to be being a dumb teenager. Speaking of dumb, hey tumblr, screw you and your limit on image size! This is an art sharing website, I should be able to upload files regardless of size! Especially when I wanna share these old Halloween pin-ups later this year!

For now though, there's other retro Spidey art to show! Such as this DUDEL I made for SIM-N back in 2016.

For those of you wondering, the robot in the Jessica Drew suit is Monova, a bad@$$ character he designed that he now criminally underutilizes. I'd ask him why that is, but he never gives me straight answers! However, he did leave this comment when he saw this pic:

Monova: Okay you two definitively need to get married soon

So, y'know, that was funny. XD

With all that said, I hope you all enjoy this nostalgic trip through my past Spider-3K work and enjoy Across the Spider-Verse when it comes out tomorrow! I know I will! Until then, MAY THE GLASSES BE WITH YOU!

He pecks her cheek. "Had you any doubt, love? You are my only dance partner, my 'finisher of sentences.' We have such interesting... careers? Or just,..." He lay his arm over her shoulders.

"Well, you always listen to help me make sense of my challenges. And I want to keep you safe, not out of thinking you can't do that for yourself, but because, you're all I've got in this world, pretty much. I can bear your red carpet moments, if it means I'm the last one at night to cherish you. I'd read through your scripts with you while we're bare in bed."

He cupped her hands in his own. "Your Aunt Anna raised a fine woman. And gave my aunt a much needed friend. I only wish to pay them both back by being your home, your rock to build your world from and upon."

+ And here MARY JANE thought it was her that had the way with words in the family . Yet, sitting there listening to him speak, melting with each and every one, she could feel her lips stretching into the widest smile until it felt like there was no possible way it could grow any BIGGER . Melting against his hold, she nodded, eagerly leaning in to smooch his lips directly .

" You know, if you took up writing, tiger, you'd be really good at it . " She answered , leaning in to wrap her arms around his neck and go back in for a longer, certainly more PASSIONATE kiss .

+ " Listen, I know this is probably a LOT to deal with, but I PROMISE you , you're very SAFE here . " Returning to the room with a warm cup of COFFEE , Mary Jane had to FEEL for the younger woman in front of her. Multiverse travel was never any FUN . Even after doing it a few times, MJ wasn't exactly a FAN of it . " I guess running into a VARIANT of yourself is probably the best case scenario with something like this, right ? "

[spinxeret]

+ " You got it ! " Instantly, Mary Jane hit the DECK , already more than happy for the ASSIST when it came to the none-too-friendly group in front of them both .

"When is anything in the cards for us? Now, I'd recommend ducking."

[spinxeret]

+ @webxfshame I Continued from here ( X )

+ It's definitely NOT a flu-bug . Mary Jane had gone through enough of them in her lifetime, and had comforted a very cranky ANNIE with something she'd brought home from school enough times to know . This ? She had felt this twice in her life . And right now ? It was making her feel ANXIOUS even contemplating that it was THAT . Sure, they had been a bit more on the RISKIER side of things lately when it had come to their more PASSIONATE antics .

But ... was this REALLY happening ... again ?

" No, it's not that ... " Shaking her head, she ran her hands along her eyes , grateful for having her hair tied up in a messy bun at the moment . She felt AWFUL , and even the thought of the bathroom had her stomach doing SUMMERSAULTS . " ... darling, I think we need to ... TEST something ... "

+ " Mmmm, I missed you too, TIGER . " Going out of town on business wasn't really that much FUN . Even if it had netted her some of the best CONTACTS that the business could grant her . When it came to having the best FASHIONS at MJ'S ? She had done what she had to do . Even still, being away from both Peter and Annie both hadn't exactly led to the experience being any kind of ENJOYABLE . In comparison to the loving she was getting now ?

It was no competition .

+ " I'm NOT going to ask again. Start TALKING about where my KID is . Or I start getting LIBERAL with my fists. " There was true ANGER in her voice ; the kind that could only be BORN out of a mother's love . Finding ANNIE was the only objective in her mind, and god help ANYONE or anything that stood in her way . " Last CHANCE. "

[spinxeret]

+ There's no TIME like the present, and every second they spent talking was further TIME that the GOONS could have to regroup themselves . Surprise was the GREATEST tool they had in their arsenal, and Spinneret intended to use it to its full ADVANTAGE . Swinging out of SIGHT , swerving in between OBSTACLES to obscure her movements, she was already well on her way to TAKING her opponents by surprise .

Miguel's comment still RANG in her ears as she swung, and she SILENTLY wished him the same .

"Copy that, Spinneret. Give me two--" but he sees her already moving in and growls softly, immediately scrambling to intercept the goons before they have a chance to intercept her and foil their quick plan.

"Be safe." he croaks before he takes down the men in question clearing her field.

[spinxeret]

+ ( i am feeling the spider-mom energy today. like for a starter from spinneret ? )

[spinxeret]

+ @werspinna asked: "Stay close to me and follow my lead. I've got your back."

+ " Right behind ya ! " Nodding , Mary Jane was all the more EAGER to get out of this mess than ever before. There was nothing worse than FIGHTING Inheritors, but considering the absolute MESS the multiverse had devolved into the last few MONTHS or so ? This was a FIGHT that she had both not been in the MOOD for, nor did she have the TIME for . " Let's make sure these guys stay DOWN this time, ok ? "

[spinxeret]

+ @maddmuses liked for a starter !

+ " We need to talk about ANNIE , Peter . " Looking back at him as she CAREFULLY closed the door behind her, ensuring that the sleeping SPIDERLING wouldn't wake back up, Mary Jane knew this CONVERSATION was a long time in coming . " And I think we need to talk about it NOW . "
