⸻ ❝ You're him, aren't you? ❞ Gwen speaks in hushed tones as she approaches him at the charity gala. She takes a sip of her drink, careful not to draw too much attention to herself. If this was who she thought it was, she was taking a huge risk. However, it was that Stacy spirit that kept her poking her nose where it didn't belong. She does a quick look-around before continuing; calling him by his supposed moniker. It had to be him; he just . . . fit the part. ❝ The Velvet Devil? ❞

⸻ ❝ You can talk to me, Harry. You know that, right? ❞ Gwen presses a careful hand to his arm, looking into his eyes in the hopes that he sees she's only trying to connect and console. She didn't pretend to know what was happening inside his head, but she had a hunch that something was up. There was something in the air. Something different. ❝ It's important to me that you know that. ❞

i need to go to bed, but my goodness may i just quickly say that it feels SO GOOD to finally write my sweet gwen again. :')

⸻ ❝ Oh. ❞ A bracelet is found on the ground by her feet. Looking up, she sees someone walking ahead of her. At this time of day, there weren't many people out and about. She'd been off late due to having a lot of data entry to complete, and the sun was soon to rise. Unless this had fallen hours prior, this had to belong to the person ahead of her. Calling out, she picks up the bracelet. ❝ Hey, is this yours-? ❞

⸻ ❝ We're opposites, you and I. ❞ Gwen says, sitting cross-legged. She isn't sure why she feels his perspective would be best, but perhaps his predicament would allow for less concern in her discussions.

She knew she couldn't discuss this with Peter.

❝ See, I met myself recently. Literally, I mean. From another dimension. ❞ God, she sounded like the start of an ayahuasca experience. ❝ And I've found out I'm living on borrowed time. And I suppose I just... don't really know what to do about it. ❞ Her tongue peeks out to moisten the center of her lips as they pull into her mouth slightly. Lack of direction had a side effect of cotton mouth, it seemed.

❝ Most variations of me don't make it past seventeen. I'm not supposed to reach adulthood, and I ... well, I'm nearly twenty-eight. The only version of me so far who has made it this far ... without powers, or losing Peter. ❞

She looks at her folded hands on her lap. ❝ You can't die, right? I can't live. We're opposite ends of the same shitty spectrum. ❞ A beat. ❝ How do you cope? How do you handle time when your expiration date isn't up for debate? And how do I keep Peter from treating me like fine china in a glass cabinet? How do I keep myself from worrying it'll be him first? ❞ Another beat.

⸻ ❝ Sorry, that's a lot of questions. I know. I just thought, I don't know, that you might be able to offer a different perspective than someone who experiences the passage of time in the way that we're supposed to. Logan, how do I live? ❞

⸻ ❝ Why do you make that face whenever I mention OsCorp? ❞ Her brow furrows in confusion as she takes a step closer to him. She felt like she was five hours into a jigsaw puzzle before realizing there was a piece missing. When she was considering an internship with the company due to it's reputation for upward mobility and personal projects receiving grants, she didn't expect to feel like something was . . . off. She couldn't figure out what it was. Had it been something she said? ❝ Are you okay? ❞

⸻ ❝ You know, sometimes I really don't know what we see in him. ❞ She sighs, a knowing smile on her face as she shakes her head. They had been waiting for Peter for a solid twenty-eight minutes, and while they both knew the drill by now, it didn't make the experience any better. In fact, it only turned Gwen's annoyance to worry.

She knew he had that Parker luck; that he could handle himself, but what would happen when that luck ran out? Taking a sip of her coffee, she smiles at Mary Jane. ❝ One of us really oughta get some powers one of these days, just to throw him off his rhythm. ❞ Moving to take another sip of her drink, she pauses.

⸻ ❝ Wanna try a sip? It's lavender. ❞

[ WEARY ]: sender notices the receiver about to fall asleep during a task, and picks them up to carry them to bed so that they can actually sleep properly for once.

⸻ Her eyelids are heavy; hardly able to stay open under the pressure from her mind to give in and sleep. She'd let the other know she didn't need assistance, if that wasn't the biggest lie she could tell. Her limbs buckle as she is lifted; clearly needing extra hands on deck. She murmurs a tired apology, her explanation softer than she means for it to be. ❝ The Osborns needed me to stay behind last night. Big project. ❞ 

[thwipsnapped]

“ i gotta align my chakras before i can have this conversation, bitch. ” (gwen to gwen?? time to confuse the entire dash with similar urls again!)

⸻ ❝ This can't be how I sound. ❞ The comment is playful in nature, but curiosity has her leaning in, wondering just how identical they were. It looked like while they shared an identity, they had quite a few differences, and yet this . . . uncanny valley-style discomfort that rolled around her stomach made it impossible to deny. She was looking at herself. The funhouse mirror that was inter-dimensional travel only seemed to reveal key differences.

And considering they seemed to be two of the only people to have survived the death sentence that was being Gwendolyne Maxine Stacy, she was keen to know what they had in common. ❝ I have an extra evil eye bracelet if that'll get this conversation rolling? ❞ A pause. ❝ Look, I know it isn't a fun topic . . . but I feel like I'm living on borrowed time, and I need to know what you know. Just how many universes have you seen? How many times have you, have we, died-? ❞

⸻ ❝ Really-? ❞ She mouths, surprised by the other's suggestion.

❝ You're insane. ❞ She shouldn't be cosigning this, and she knows it, but once in a while . . . No. No, she should not be as interested as she is. And yet? She gives in, eyes gleaming at the prospect. ❝ Okay, fine. Pretend I'm interested... Now that you have my attention, how would this work exactly? ❞

[SMS to Peter - 13:36] you know, i really should start implementing the tactic we use for my uncle arthur

[SMS to Peter - 13:36] and by that i mean booking our reservations an hour after we said we did so that we're all on-time

[SMS to Peter - 13:37] to be fair to my uncle, he'd have major jet-lag... but you live here and do the same thing. 🥲

[SMS to Peter - 13:38] if you did this before there were cellphones, i'd start taking pictures of myself in the 'when will he return from the war, looking out the window' pose. haha

[SMS to Peter - 13:39] honestly, pete, if you aren't here in five. i'm gonna do just that. you can set it as your home screen so you remember to leave on time. it can only be 'traffic' so many times. 💀

“ yes, i am a human again and i am doing emotions. this is good, yes, good. ”

⸻ With a raise of her brows and a tilt of her head, Gwen looks up from her laptop. The muttering from the man across from her has her attention moved from her research. Instead her brilliant mind does it's best to formulate something comforting. His words seem to linger in a space between playful and anxious. She looks back at her laptop for a moment to check that her draft has saved before she closes it.

❝ Well, nobody can ever tell you that you aren't self-aware. ❞ She lets out a small exhale of amusement through her nose, showing she means no disrespect by the comment. ❝ It must be strange, being on - (How did you refer to it? Terra?) - er, being on Earth after so long. Hearing new songs, seeing how pop culture has shifted, et cetera. ❞

⸻ There is a quiet clacking of acrylic nails on the shell of the laptop. A quiet collection of thoughts still being weaved together into a plan. ❝ Would you want a . . . well, a guide of sorts? I know a lot about the area. ❞

[thwipsnapped]

hi i'm having trouble finding rules and bio, could you maybe help me out? I might be a bit dumb >.>

HEY. You aren't dumb!

They're in my blog's theme. I'll copy-paste it below! dni. people who god mod. homophobes; transphobes; antisemites; islamophobes; hateful individuals of any kind. if you are under 18, please do not follow this blog. banned fcs. i don't mind if you use deceased fcs, but anyone distinctly problematic is a big no-no for me. iconless threads would be alright in these situations, though. byf. as i have many blogs, my activity level will fluctuate. if you want to get a hold of me and we are mutuals, feel free to ask for my discord. otherwise, feel free to message me and i'll get back to you asap! gif & icon sizes. i have no preference on if you use icons or gifs when you write -- and the size of them doesn't matter to me either. if possible, please trim your posts with xkit during threads. if this isn't feasible, it's alright!

it's the same deal with my info blurb!

i have two main verses (earth-65 & earth-616) for my gwen! although -616 & tasm are currently my primary sources, i'll also take inspiration from the spectacular spider-man cartoon (which began my love of gwen), into the spider-verse, and the ghost-spider comics. 🕸️💀

@amischiefofmuses sent: “ yes, i am a human again and i am doing emotions. this is good, yes, good. ” [ From Peter ] || Meme.

⸻ ❝ So, I take it you've lost me as well? ❞ Gwen sat on the steps of Empire State University and patted the spot beside her. ❝ You know, it was really hard for me to process this at first. I mean, sure, I'd read theories on the multiverse, but . . . It wasn't until I met another version of myself that I realized I'm living on borrowed time. You must feel like you're seeing a ghost, but I assure you, you're not. [...] It seems every other version of me, apart from the one I met, dies within a few years of the age I am now. I haven't told anyone about my findings, of course, they'd all try to bubble-wrap me and avoid the inevitable. ❞

She chuckles, but it's more sardonic than anything.

❝ So, I've focused on my research instead. I refuse to let my legacy be that I was the inciting incident for a man in a mask. No offense, Pete. ❞ She pauses, not sure how comfortable he'd be with discussing the topic. She couldn't help her morbid curiosity, but she could try to make the delivery less harsh.

❝ May I ask-? How old was your Gwen when she died? [...] I'm twenty-four now, and working on my masters. Seems like most die between the ages of sixteen and twenty-seven. It's weird - to know it's nearly always the same. ❞ A beat. ❝ You should probably know I don't blame you, and, um, that I won't blame you when it's my turn. My Peter and I are on a break right now, so, it'll probably happen soon. ❞
