I think another clear theme of Spiderverse is that, as we’re told in the first movie, anyone can be Spider-Man. But in the second movie, Miguel tells us that Spider-Man has rules. Certain things have to happen, certain people have to die, certain people aren’t meant to be Spider-Man. And the message there is that, once someone makes those kinds of rules, you run. Because it’s just not true. Anyone, literally anyone, can be Spider-Man. There is no requirement. We’ve been shown you don’t even need to be bitten by a spider!
And with the amount of people comparing Spiderverse to the queer experience, this is especially important. There are no rules to being queer. There are no labels that are exclusive. There are no labels that are even required. As soon as someone says you can’t be queer in a certain way, or certain identities don’t ‘count’ for whatever reason, you need to run. They are liars. There are no rules, and there never have been. You are queer because you said so, and this is your decision alone.
If you decide you’re Spider-Man, then you’re Spider-Man. And if you decide you’re going to save everyone you can, then you will. It’s as simple as that.

Pru Owens gets sent back in time.
Pru Owens has also decided she really doesn't care about the timeline.
She kidnaps a baby Damian from Talia Al Ghul, before she can do that weird science shite that made the kid miss his toddler years.
She also knows she can't throw the kid at his father, because that's the first place Talia is gonna look.
Luckily, she's pretty sure Tim's parents either won't mind or won't notice another kid. Also it'll be payback for all the shit Tim put her through.
She may have forgotten that Tim is eleven at the moment.
Shit.

can we talk about gideon the first can we please talk about gideon the first. he is constantly being used as a tool or a weapon. john takes his arm off and uses him as a bomb. he sends him to melbourne and stops his heart. john resurrects him and shapes him into his "attack dog," a role that is absolutely informed by his race, as the one confirmed dark-skinned character among the lyctors. he's never treated the way augustine and mercymorn are. pre-resurrection, a— and m— sleep in the facility with john but g— sleeps outside in his ute. post-ascension, he spends 10,000 years with gaps in his memory, feeling as though he's gone mad, and he gets no sympathy for it. he does john's bidding, unquestioningly. he fights varun the eater alone, because mercymorn and augustine leave him there, and he dies, and nobody notices. the closest thing to a eulogy he gets from the people who have been his companions for 10,000 years is:
g—, you died for nothing.

I LOVE MIXING FIXATIONS IT'S SO FUN!!!
Dust: An Elysian Tail but Rayman characters let's go😎
After extensive analysis of both games (five minutes of thought), we decided that most (not all) of the Warmbloods are teensies, the Mudpot folk are Glutes, and most (not all) Moonbloods are nightmares.
Here's the more focused roles I have paired for this AU:
Dust -> Rayman
This makes complete sense. Main character who is good at combat and kind at heart. Also has a lot of abilities in general lol
Fidget -> Murfy
I really don't care for Murphy buuuut I won't deny that he reminds me a lot of Fidget. Same vibes, different execution.
Aharah -> Maybe Ly?? Maybe Polokus???
That's cuz my man is a talking sword. He helps Dust with combat and advice cuz he's cool like that.
"See how lifelike it is?" (Ugly ass murphy plush)
"Oooh! Campfire fuel~"
Ginger -> Goth Teensy
This is a mix of personal hcs and just cuz vibes lol. Both are angsting and have affiliations with the opposing groups in the series. (Goth with the Livid Dead door, Ginger with the Moonbloods).
"And who are you really? The last time I saw a thingamajig was when my brother died!"
Sereth -> The First King
This one was a little more difficult to decide, but I like this choice lol. The First King being a dream and nightmare creature in all technicality that I would imagine has a similar personality to Sereth is fun. Also he's a little scary looking, which works with canon. Also his eyes are glossed over so it looks like the Sereth's glowing eyes.
"I am here to serve~"
BELOW ARE SPOILERS FOR DUST: AN ELYSIAN TAIL!! PLEAAAAAAAASE PLAY THE GAME OR WATCH A PLAYTHROUGH OR SOMETHING BEFORE LOOKING AT THESE I BEG!!! I DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE TWIST FOR Y'ALL!!
Now that that's out of the way, here are the spoiler doodles.
Can you-c-can you guess who Rayman was created from?
Can you can you?
That's right!
THE MAGICIANS!!
"Forever in battle. Forever at odds."
When I made this decision I felt so smart. They're the same name, same vibes, and the idea that Rayman got his whimsicalness from the Magician and the violent tendencies of Ales makes so much sense to me.
"Only impossible for a creature with a single soul."
"I am Rayman."
Also I get to draw him with the teensy boba eyes, which is a win for me.
I'll probably make more stuff for this cuz I really like this idea. The story will have creative liberties though for character motivation, but that's not too important lol.
Have a lovely day fellas :)))

I don't think Willow and Hunter start dating immediately after the events of W&D. They know they're something and they're both open to exploring that when they're ready. But they also agree that it would be in their best interest to adjust to their new normal and do some soul searching before they make themselves an official item. They don't consider themselves dating but they don't consider themselves single either. And the way the two of them approach their feelings for each other in this murky limbo state is vastly different for both of them.
Like if somebody asks Willow if she's in love with Hunter, it's like
Willow: Am I in-...? Well, it's...complicated. It's a very complicated situation we're in and I don't want to make any bold decisions right away. Do I love him as a friend? Of course I do. Am I physically attracted to him? Yes, but hormones don't mean love. Am I also emotionally attracted to him? Yes, but a crush isn't love. Do all of these things at once equate to being in love? Well, that seems like the kind of question that would keep a very nervous very scared person lying awake all night. Good thing that's not me, haha. It's not like I'm scared to be in love and I'm subconsciously avoiding confronting the fact that I am. I just believe in staying rational and analyzing your emotions so you don't get too reckless and dive into things without thinking. You'll hurt yourself. I've heard that's it's really easy to hurt yourself when you're in love. You see it's...we...Hunter and I met at a really crazy time, when I was just starting to become the witch I want to be. And then everything got so much crazier and we were confused and scared and it was hard to think about who you wanted to be when you weren't where you wanted to be. So now we're home. And finally, we have the chance to figure ourselves out. And that's exactly what we're gonna do. I want to be with him...eventually. When we're ready. I like him and I want to kiss him but I'm not in love with him. I'm totally not.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Bonesborough
Del: Willow seems like a nice girl.
Hunter: Yeah. I'm in love with her.
