nye // all he could remember was bubbly drinks and food that was no match for his microwave dinners. “i just wanna let you know that you’re my world, you’re my rock, you’re my everythin’ and i love you and–” eyes meet another’s who just happens to be nearby and whispers shouts, “it’s my lola.” ned proceeds to walk to said person as he carries on his conversation; now mostly consisting of telling his grandma that he was as sober as a priest. “i am, i’m telling you, i’m, like, so good right now. listen, listen, listen.. hey –” he holds his phone out to the other once got near enough. “tell her, please! tell her that i’m not drunk! she won’t believe meeee ..” he slurs and sighs dejectedly, a juvenile pout present on his face. // @reshieldedstart​

The dude on the phone is... what? A bit player at best? One of Spider-Man’s squad, right? There’s a whole clown car of them, depending on what year you’re looking at and who’s writing. Gwen’s pretty sure this kid’s one of the newer additions. But damn if he isn’t in love with whoever’s on the other side of that phone. She’s not up to date enough with his arc to know who “his Lola” is, but calling her “his” Lola is fucking cute. That’s true love right there, baby. They’re, like, 80% sure they could have that with Thor, if they could just find that hunk of fine Agardian ass. He had to be somewhere in this room, right? By oysters, maybe?

Gwen is, admittedly, not much less drunk than phone guy, but is also very aware that they are only as drunk as they are writing themselves to be, and are therefore maybe not drunk at all, actually, because that’s a plot hole they can run with. Right? Yeah. Makes sense. Drunk sense. With a nod, she grabs the phone and, before Lola can talk, says, “Hi, miss, your boyfriend’s fine. He’s totally sober. Stone-cold, a-okay. You’re a lucky lady--”

Gwen freezes then, and hands the phone back to the guy with a frown. “Uh,” they say. “Yeah, I think that went great.”

@reshieldedstart​ // NYE BASH

This was the kind of event that only occurred in comic books: every hero, villain, and henchman in the city in one space, improbably fitting in the same room, gorging themselves on canapés and expensive wine. There was still room for a crowd of extras and background characters, equally well-dressed, a little less well-rendered. They looked sketchier at the edges, but the sight of Dr. Strange in a tuxedo? The Young Avengers in fancy suits? Beyond worth it. Gwen was happily double-fisting champagne and crab cakes, trying to get an eye on the good gossip. Who was dating whom? What was being stolen--who was having a fistfight out on the terrace?

Good shit, all of it.

Just as long as no one knew about the knives strapped to their thighs under their dress (gotta be prepared for any situation, especially at a party!), this was going to be a great night--but, oh no, she was out of champagne. Gwen elbowed the person nearest them and batted her eyelashes. “Hey, buddy. What’s a plucky little ingenue gotta do to get some more bubbly around here?”

( emma mackey. 22. she/they. demigirl. ) are you a VIGILANTE ? something tells me that pink dip-dyed hair, a well-worn comic book library, a backpack full of ammunition make you who you are, GWEN POOLE. with the powers of MEDIUM INTERACTION, you’re sure to have a spunky, reckless personality — and you definitely belong to UNAFFILIATED. were you listening to BRUTAL by OLIVIA RODRIGO on your way to the subway? it suits you. we can’t wait to see what you do next! ( claire. 23. she/her. gmt. )

character name: gwendolyn “gwen” poole. gwenpool. age: 22 faceclaim: emma mackey voiceclaim: becca stewart skill set: medium interaction; fourth wall breaking; medium awareness; out-of-universe knowledge; prolific fanfic writer; medium/average combat affiliations: west coast avengers, solo family: ted poole (father), martha poole (mother), teddy poole (brother) (all in another universe. don’t think too hard about their names. don’t worry about the puns. it’s fine.) zodiac: gemini (june 15) wiki link: godspeed

was your character “blipped” out? if so, what did they return to and how is it affecting them? if not, who important to them was blipped out, and what has it felt like after those five years have passed? ( if your character is a dc muse:  what were they doing when they passed through the portal? 

Gwen was not yet in this world at the time of the blip! (As far as we can tell.) She’s from another universe entirely (our.... universe.....??), and only been here about three years. Sure was weird hopping into a comic-book world with half its population gone! They’ve been able to claim “Blip victim” to get settled though, so that’s a perk.

where are they living? are they living with anyone?

She’s got a loft rented on mercenary money and magicked social security cards. Roommates could be fun!

why is your character affiliated with who they’re affiliated with?

Gwen’s affiliated with nobody right now, thank you very much. She’s lone-wolfing this thing. She needs to find their niche--is she a hero? a villain? a henchman? not an extra, thank you very much!--to prove this run’s got staying power. Just kinda girlbossing their way through this thing, really. Wherever she can have the most fun and be the most wanted.

who are their major friends, allies, and foes?

Major friends: Squirrel Girl!  Deadpool, apparently! Gwen Stacy! 

Allies: The West Coast Avengers (RIP) / Young Avengers! MODOK (I don’t wanna talk about it)! Batroc the Leaper! Herself, actually!

Foes: The Bad Guys TM. The readers. Sales numbers. Idk dude Gwen’s just vibing.

whose hands do they believe the country should be in?

Lol why would they be invested in this. Whoever will let her keep bopping around. Probably not Dr. Doom??? Most of them are just extras, anyway, and she’s just a guest star doing their goddamn best to get a solo run.

what’s their current mental state at? their physical state?

Listen. Probably fine. Seems like she’s losing it. Might actually be losing it. Probably losing it. Have y’all seen that retcon that Gwenpool is and always has been a mutant, actually, and is just hallucinating our world? But there’s nothing to prove that that’s not a fourth-wall-break media manipulation trick she instituted herself? Yeah. Haven’t introduced that yet, but that’s the energy we’re working with. They also miss their family, but can’t get back to the other world--everything she was has been untethered for Parallel Universe Immigration Purposes, so we’re not sure we’ll be seeing their brother anytime soon. She just desperately doesn’t want to fade out of existence, and will do anything it takes to stay relevant. Hopefully that doesn’t involve villainy, but.... we’ll see.
