I'm sick and had this idea in my head for ages and I finally sat down and wrote it and I have half a thought for a "My Robin Now" sequel. But in the meantime- have a Titan's Tower Divergence Platonic AOB AU

Wip of Spiderman's berserker mode-

When Spiderman is in a legitimate holy fuck life-or-death situation, (or when his spider senses go from 0-Thanos Just Popped in and is Gunning for me) his body automatically burns its entire store of venom in one big burst, giving him a massive boost in all his powers for 10-15 minutes.

This is the ultimate state of fight-or-flight. He can't control when or if it happens.

When he's in burn, Spiderman's only objective is to survive- either by putting down the threat or getting away from it as fast as possible.

During burn, everything is enhanced- his speed, his strength, his healing factor, etc. He feels little to no pain and fights with the single goal of coming out alive on the other side. He's not necessarily mindless, but he also doesn't hold anything back and will fight to kill if that's what he thinks will give him the best chance of survival.

In this state, he's powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with a fairly serious Thor. However, going through burn is EXTREMELY traumatic for the body, and coming out of it is just as dangerous as going in.

When it's over, Peter is pretty much catatonic/comatose for a few days while his body heals- and basically as powerless as a civilian while his body restores enough venom to put him back into a balanced state.

To date, it's only happened twice (and is the original reason he caught Kraven's attention.)

TLDR: Spiderman's venom works on himself as well, but in a more extreme fashion.

It's totally ok to get a little mad when your favorite bartender/bff gets kidnapped.

What's not ok is forgetting to keep your mask on after descending on a murdering spree launching a heroic rescue.

Spiderman spent his entire life protecting people. But Peter's never had anyone out to protect him before.

What's Spidys relationship like with the other NY bound heros?

Got a bunch of other hero asks so it's time for Ye Olde Lore Dump!

Johnny and H!Spiderman have never gotten along- in either universe.

They don't even really have any real beef with each other, they're just two dudes who grate on each other's nerves for no particular reason- like two guys at a frat party who are just waiting for an excuse to duke it out.

There's just something about Johnny's playboy easy-come-and-go vibe that makes Spidey want to plant a fist in his face. And Johnny thinks Spiderman is a fucking buzzkill.

Black Widow and Spiderman have a good working relationship. He once helped her out of a tight spot in New York and he was fast, smart and discreet about it- so when she's got some ops she needs a second pair of hands for (under the table), she calls him.

Spiderman admires Nat's competence and single-minded focus in getting things done- they all appeal to the hunter in him. (And he's got a massive crush on her.)

They usually do one or two jobs every few months, and meet up for drinks at one of her safehouses. She's also knows his secret identity, because she's just that scary.

Logan and Peter are BFFs. For real. Logan was in town to help with some shit that ended up involving Deadpool and found himself at St. Margaret's.

He and Peter struck up a friendship that ends up with them going camping every couple of months for a week or so.

Logan likes Peter's no-bullshit sincerity and can tell he's had some shit(TM) go down in his life. Peter's easy to talk to and is good at reading the room. And Peter feels like Logan fills in that space Marko left as a friend/mentor/gruff bro figure.

Logan actually picks up when Peter calls. (most others he leaves on read).

Fun fact, he has no idea Peter is Spiderman.

And another fun fact, it's not Johnny Deadpool is jealous of, it's Logan.

Peter has a very complicated relationship with the Avengers.

On one hand, he knows what they do and what they stand for- on the other hand, he's got a real problem with authority figures. He's been invited to the Avengers multiple times, in both realities.

The answer is always blanket N.O. (And, depending on whether it's stark asking, accompanied by a giant middle finger). (Though he's reluctantly agreed to have an avenger's phone in case there are any massive threats they need help with).

As for the members:

Stark gets on his nerves like nothing else. He's not super easy to rile up, but Stark's playboy arrogance (real or not), way he talks down at people, the self-appointed authority, the entitlement, and, of course, the fucking hypocrisy- it makes Spidey go 0 to 'cashmeoutside' immediately.

He and the Captain sometimes get along, but mostly when the Captain isn't in one of his preachy, pontificating moments. They do work very well together in a combat capacity, but they don't have much to talk about.

Thor is fine, but completely outside of Spidey's sphere and also, difficult to work with given his powers.

Bruce and Spidey just don't have much to talk about, and once again, Hulk is way too loud and can't particularly coordinate when they have to team up.

In general, H!Spiderman gets along with the more 'loner' heroes like Murdock, Deadpool, Black Widow, Bucky, Logan, Clint and so on.

(Side note, imagine he said all these shots fired shit to the Avengers and they were like 'no? none of this happened?' because it's not the same reality and Spiderman has to go home and die from the cringe???) (no we'll let him be cool for this)

Once again, thank you so much for the asks!! I really appreciate all the love this AU has gotten and I hope these answers satisfy!!!

Sharing from Discord as promised! I figure I'd share the ideas you inspired in bite sized sections and in no particular order: Flying Grayson to the rescue with a distraction, the most dangerous job really so ofc he would choose himself for it, and its only thanks to his bat training that he manages to eventually slink away while the rest of the team proceeds with the mission. Herding and circling until he finds a "pit trap" where he can land safely then escape. Making sure to drop a timed "popper" that's only just louder than his tuck and roll when he finally glides down using either his glider or built in wing suit. (The "squirrel suit"/Wingsuit is canon lol) The bats fly differently in Gotham now but they still fly but now with specific landing spots. Sections of the city are carefully mapped out and used specifically because of the lack of possible collateral damage by everyone. I just thought it'd be fun to call them pit traps or pit stops lol

Bless thank you! @iphoenixrising more for the AU lol First Post Found HERE

I love this thought. “Pitstop” makes sense to me, a single moment of stopping before darting off quietly and Dick is SUCH a protective little shit, he absolutely would jump to put himself out first. 

***

Dick kept his eyes and ears open, limbs spread as he glided down towards the pitstop he and his family kept clear. Landing was always terrifying, even with the spaces that Dick and the others kept clear for landing. 

The pitstops had been Tim’s idea, and making them had been- and still was- one of the most stressful times of Dick’s life. Trying to quietly clear a space for the Bats to land while they flew through the remains of Gotham without getting the attention of any of the death angels was difficult. 

Any mistake, and a horde of the alien creatures would swarm, would try to kill them. But they needed the pitstops, if they were going to fly. 

A careful press of his trigger, and far in the distance he could hear a noise popper go off. The distant sounds of the creatures running mixed with the noise maker, and it covered the soft sound of Dick’s feet touching the ground as he landed in the space meant for him. 

He didn’t dare still too long, silent feet taking him down from the roof to silently ghost over the rubble of his city. 

It wasn’t the first time Dick had triggered noise makers throughout the city today. No, he’d thrown himself into playing distraction the moment he realized that Jay was going to be cornered if he didn’t. The Alpha was meeting Leslie for antibiotics for Tim, and Dick wouldn’t allow that task nor his little brother to be compromised. 

Even if he needed to throw himself into the air, and start triggering the noise makers the Bats constantly replaced and hid, carefully herding and luring the creatures away from Jason’s path home. 

Jason would probably have something to say about Dick following him out, and keeping an eye on him, would most likely scold him for it, but Dick didn’t regret it. He’d come too close to losing his little brothers, his pack, during this mess, there was no part of Dick that wouldn’t do his best to prevent it. 

Even if it meant putting himself in danger, putting himself in front of his packmates, taking a risk the others might not like, that would let Dick buy them time or space to survive. 

When it came to his family, Dick would pull no punches. 

***

Joining up with Jay on the way back to the cave was easy, once he’d made it to ground level and Dick’s pack alpha was certainly not pleased to see him out and about. 

The fast, near violent movement of his hands gave him away as he signed at Dick. 

Jason was, indeed, scolding him. Lecturing him about his ribs, and the nasty fall he’d taken a few weeks previous, the one he’d only survived because the collapsing building had missed him, and covered the sound of his pain, the death angels missing him under the sounds of the falling brick and glass. 

Dick did his best to reassure him, leaning in and letting Jason thoroughly scent him, even as he scented him back, nudging him back towards the cave. 

A few more fast signs  told Dick that he was expected to join Tim in the nest and stay there, when they got home, and Dick couldn’t help but smile, even as he agreed.  This scene would happen again- Dick would never not look after his siblings, his pack, and Jason knew it, even as he- figuratively- yelled about it.

[wolfsrainrules]

I'm seeing ichor discourse making rounds again, where people say I as the animator either didn't know or did not do my research.

I want to say this one last time. ​

I knew from the start that ichor is popularly described as golden.

Gold was considered among other colors like blue, black, and shades of red to gold, but gold looked like mustard against pale skin, got lost in Zeus's gold lightning in God Games and got lost against Poseidon's gold trident.

Jay and I worked and brainstormed tirelessly on how to show ichor, so please do not say we didn't do enough research and communication when it took days for us to come up with a decision on the color.

An entire sequence of Athena with red mixed with glowing gold was even rendered but cut due to the blood looking like lava.

Ultimately, it was decided that to tell the story to the general public, who may not know about greek mythology and lore about ichor was more important, so red became the final color my animations.

It provided much needed contrast against skin and conveys the extent of damage instantly.

If it helps, look at the trident in the 600 strike finale and the Vengeance saga album again and you'll see flecks of gold in the red blood.

Thank you all for the support and understanding.

Tim: Happy Halloween!

Fight Knight: Happy Halloween, little pumpkin!

Tim: I'm so glad you're here, uncle. Bruce doesn't think you're real or that you're my family!

Fright Knight: Why would he think that? I ghost adopted you!

Tim: Exactly! I told him about me briefly dying when I was eight and fell off a roof on Halloween night. I even told him about when you were doing your rounds, you resuscitate me when you came across me! Still nothing. He thinks I made you up to get out of being adopted by him

Fright Knight: How rude!

Tim: Indeed!

Fight Knight: This will not stand! I wish I could correct this, but I can not be in the human world beside Halloween night unless....are you willing to be engaged to my boss so he let me stay here and guard you?

Tim: I mean.....will he mind?

Fright Knight: No King Phantom is rather lenient, and I believe he was having issues with his schoolmates. Apparently, he has boasted about an imaginary young lord who he been courting and is dreading the day they ask to meet him. Your family status, wealth, and looks are a match to his lies.

Tim: And you can be in the human world if I pretend to be his fiance? Count me in!

Fright Knight: Excellent! Come spawn, King Phantom requires a romantic companion for the ball at his educational institution!
