#i wanna talk about spooderman so bad :((

Wanna talk about Prowler Childe cuz the new Spiderman movie is still chewing my brain away (like- my spidersona has more personality than me). No spoilers for Across the spiderverse ahead?? More like, you gotta know the basics, or just Into the spiderverse.

It wouldn't be anything new, reader being a spider-person and childe the prowler but imagine them being friends (? that relationship where you insult each other but don't really mean it yk😭) and obviously not knowing about one another's secret identity.

It's just some classical friends to enemies to lovers or whatever, but Childe's possible design has me reeling (i tried to draw his mask and honestly, it's a huge slay). Mf is all shit and giggles, coming up with sassy lines and humouring reader's own typical quips, until the situation goes downhill and his goofy personality switches off.

Truth to be told, as much as he likes to fight, his job isn't always enjoyable. But does he really have a choice when his family needs the money? Not really. Bro's gonna risk his life without hesitation for them <3 So, while it seems that he's living THE life, working a nice job and being rich enough to spoil his siblings, he's actually toeing the line between life and death more than he'd like to admit.

Plus, if we consider that his in-game delusion takes a huge toll on his health... The POTENTIAL HERE. I don't wanna go into details cus not everyone reads the comics and yada yada, but he could be working for Alchemax (megacorporation that creates medicines, or in general deals with chemicals as far as the public knows), both as the prowler and as a beta-tester for some of their... Shadier products. Yeah, he's basically a super soldier, but at what cost?😔

And if he ever manages to unmask reader? Brooo he's gonna be wasted, he went close to kill them so many times... and maybe he'll be pressured into doing so this one faithful time too. How can he choose between his family and the person he loves?? dfhsdhf he can't.

Again, nothing particularly new abt this but oh boy is it an interesting concept----

Now that I got this off my chest, I can finally implode 🫡
