Chapter one of my slow burn spideypool fic!

The man he’s holding by the shirt slumps to the ground as his grip unfolds. His knuckles ache, but his heart still itches for another fight.

Sensing his intentions, Wade clears his throat. “Not here for a fight! Though I’d totally love to see you kick my ass, several times, with your hand-“

“Shut up.”

“Yep! Lips are sealed.” He mimes the motion of zipping up his mouth, then shudders as if the very thought would drive him mad.

“What do you want with me?”

BACK ON MY SPIDEYPOOL BRAINROT IDEAS with a FUSION! Deadringer's the combo of Spider-Man and Deadpool, with my design notes and thoughts are scribbled above! I'll write some below anyways. If you see a spelling error, no you didn't, okay?

Deadringer's name comes from the fact that both DP's and Spidey's costumes are somehow both incredibly distinct and similar enough I feel like it wouldn't be hard for civilians to confuse one for the other, making it all the more confusing if they actually fused! Also "dead" like "Deadpool". Yes, I am very clever thank you.

Their civilian name is "West Walker", keeping the alliteration of both their halves, plus Walker rhythms with Parker. Keeping the w's meant leaning into how Peter's full name is pronounced with the -er for the last name, and choosing something with e's rather than a's for the first.

Spidey Sense and Deadpool's Boxes/Fourth Wall Breaking combine into a basically a personified soundtrack only DR can hear! Non-digetic sounds play as warnings (ex. horror movie soundtrack if something's about to happen) but it has a mean personality and will play overlapping laugh tracks to make fun of him. It's incredibly overwhelming.

With Spidey's strength and unique web slinging, and Deadpool's use of classic weaponry, DR uses artificially, self made whips to swing around using his own body strength.

More on the page itself, I am tired.
