Spider-Verse fanfiction idea I’ll never get around to writing:
Teacher: Congratulations, Miles. Your paper on multi-dimensional
physics has attracted a TON of interest from our Science Mentorship
partners. We’ve found you a really wonderful Science Mentor who’s going
to be helping you prepare your Youth Science Innovators presentation
this week.
Miles: Oh, wow, my parents are gonna be so proud.
Teacher: So, let me introduce you to Dr. Olivia Octavius. Thank you, doctor, for being part of this mentorship program.
Liv: It’s my pleasure, I’m just happy I can help inspire the science community of tomorrow.
Miles: … D:
Important additions:
- Liv is 100% legitimately invested in being a good Science Mentor.
After all, today’s young scientists are tomorrow’s reality-warping
coworkers.
- Miles’s paper was an edited version of his research on small, stable inter-dimensional portals, so he can hang out with Gwen/get multiverse
help against major threats.
- Sometimes, Miles forgets to be scared or angry at Doc Ock and starts
actually learning from her, except she inevitably proposes something
super unethical and then unconvincingly adds “…theoretically, of
course” and Miles starts planning how to counter whatever doom-bot she’s
just come up with as Spider-Man.
- May Parker has been helping Miles with spider-gadgets and general science stuff after school. At
some point, she and Liv have an angry shouting match over who gets
science-custody of their science-nephew.
- Miles has to figure out how to turn down a very plush internship offer
from Octavius at the end of the week. His parents insist he take it, he
fails to come up with a good reason not to that doesn’t involve
Spider-Man knowledge. His parents have Liv over for dinner, she speaks
highly of their son and his bright future. The family loves her.
- When Liv eventually figures out his secret identity, she goes full
punch-clock villain and keeps mentoring Miles while fighting
Spider-Man’s attempts to stop her Bad Idea Science.
This is the best and also so good I love
Ock: MILES YOU HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW WHY ARE YOU HERE
Miles: BECAUSE YOU’RE TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE OLIVIA
I love Pokemon’s world building because its just so absurd but interesting at the same time
Yes, there are Gods, and yes they have godly powers, even control over the very fabrics of reality.
But heres the kicker
They’re litterally just feral animals that will attempt to fight eachother on sight due to territory reasons and not give a single shit about the ramifications of their battles
Imagine living knowing that reality could collapse at any second because Palika looked at Dialga in a funny way and now Dialga’s out for Blood.
