gwen stacy, arachnophobia. a web weave based on the incredible fic by @rappaccini
this fic changed the way I think about gwen as a character and got lodged in my brain since I first read it. its a fic that makes you want to make art about it and it is absolutely worth your time.

Part 1: The Fall
Or: in every other universe...

...gwen stacy dies
Part 2 | Part 3 | All Together Now
Thoughts + Sources under the cut
You guys ever read a fic that rewires your brain and then gets you to make art for the next like, six months?
I read arachnophobia by @rappaccini and proceded to immediately start work on this, graduated college, and finally finished finding sources today. If I can get one person to read this fic and think about gwen more I will be so very happy.
Gwen Stacy dies! Its what she does! Constantly! She is a ghost (spider) and she haunts the narrative and her defining moment is to fall!!! to be a stepping stone for PETER! to have multiversal confirmation that you were not meant to live is so. how would that weigh on you. biting into it with my teeth etc etc etc
