Chapter Text
Okay so I want to sort of explain what exactly is shaking with this version of Peter Parker, or as I like to call him, "Spidey Soup," because he's kind of a soup of all the different Peter Parkers/Spider-Men.
He's still a science dude, but his focus is more in engineering than in biochemistry, like how I usually write him/think of him. Like, he still knows all the biochem stuff because web fluid doesn't make itself, but he's definitely more into gadget making and engineering. According to this AU, it was his major.
"But why the f-word is he on break from being Spider-Man??" Because he's recovering from top surgery. Unsaid, I'll write more about that and delve more into it if there's a demand or if I want to because, let's face it, I'm God here, but the bottom line is that. There's a Spider-Ban on Spider-Man until he's all healed up from getting his top surgery. The End. Yes, I am a die-hard Transmasc Spider-Man Believer. And Transmasc Eddie Brock but that's neither here nor there. At least for now. My "Oh My God He Is Literally Me" multi-chapter breakdown for transmasc Eddie Brock can take a backseat for the time being.
As far as what Peter Parker looks like, my thoughts like more in Spectacular Spider-Man than any of the live-action ones. Mostly because the ADHD decided that's where the dopamine is. In a Spider-Man cartoon that was brutally murdered before it had a chance to thrive. AnYwAy, obviously Spider-Man would be older and very much with shorter hair. And I do not CARE what the liberal media says, Spider-Man wears glasses. Spider-Man has prescription lenses in his mask. You can pry this belief from my cold, dead hands.
"But what about Punisher??" Coming clean, I haven't seen the Punisher. The TV show was the only one I felt confident tagging. Shamefully, I've read the Garth Ennis Punisher series (Spoiler Alert: It's garbage and Garth Ennis is a garbage author and I'm not saying this because I'm biased against Garth Ennis because Garth Ennis is horrible at his job), so I sort of have an idea of what the Punisher/Frank Castle is? All you need to know about my Frank Castle is that he's angry and stoic and sad and he imprints on people like a mother cat.
Okay I think I got it all out of my system. Coolcoolcool. Enjoy.
