This is Peter's "move your arm before I kill you" face 😄 aka his "I only agreed to stand here to make my aunt happy and would rather be anywhere else" face.
EDIT: decided to change the eyeshine color lol
closeups and a bonus doodle below:
say cheeeeese!!! (left to right: flash, janine, aracely)
I realized while drawing this that I accidentally put the boys in left-to-right order from least- to most-fucked up face 😂 Ben and his perfect nose 🙄🤣 IDK what he's saying but probably something engineered specifically to make Peter mad.
He's smiling. 🙂💢 See? Busted nose. Turns out I also put them in order of "least to most traumatized," now that I think about it... Peter is a little less uptight by 2016 but... only a little. He might even not be wearing the costume under his clothes.
I know you're probably thinking "how the fuck is Ben less traumatized than Peter?" but in this case it's true. Ben is the most well-adjusted of them all. Comparatively.
Kaine is definitely wearing his costume under his clothes. Head to toe coverage, no skin except face and hands basically ever. When I sat down to sketch this pic this morning I realized that he probably doesn't like having his picture taken, because he has very bad self-esteem (understatement) and lots of scars, but probably also for Warren reasons, as essentially an ex-lab specimen. So he's hiding.
His hair would be in the process of growing back out from a buzzcut, if it's November 2016... so a bit longer than his shoulders, most likely.
If it wasn't like, May's idea to take the pic and Janine w/ the camera Kaine would not be tolerating this. He'd either leave or break the camera LOL but... if May wants a pic... he can at least pretend to be in it.
Miss Maybelle... The only one in the pic who doesn't have anything weird going on (ah, her strange nephews and their strange eyes). She has an O2 tank though. Her lungs are not very strong after 2012 because ummmm... Kaine stabbed her in the chest. (He apologized, it's fine 😓😅)
Ben's tan lines 😂 peter has 'em too but Peter is all covered up obv. Peter's neck tan line is actually way higher up though, because his costume has a higher neckline so he has to wear higher collars/scarves/whatever even if he rolls the neck down. But (not pictured) Peter's arms are more tan than Ben's because Ben's Scarlet sleeves are longer than Peter's Spidey sleeves. Obv Ben isn't wearing (the top of) his costume in this pic though. and they can both roll the sleeves up anyway.
That's the watch Peter got May for her birthday in 2007 btw. Actually the color is wrong because I didn't bother to check my own #lore but also because I almost forgot to color it at all (lol whoops) so I was just like. It's purple, I remember that much. But the strap is supposed to be "pale violet linen."
I also almost forgot to draw Peter's wedding band entirely 😂 Luckily I remembered! lol
Kaine is wearing a kilt, by the way (over jeans or leggings or something probably... well, maybe not leggings if his costume is underneath...) My goal is for him to find a different way of expressing his masculinity. related to why i am sticking to pink for his theme color (for costume etc.) and letting him grow his hair back out. I think he probably has some genders going on but not in the way that Flash has. He's not a girl. More like he wants to be nothing at all... null gender... etc... but also he doesn't have the language for that and would likely push back against it because of the way he was treated by Warren and the issues he has with like. personhood and manhood... but experimenting with (expensive) clothing is a way for him to explore his own autonomy in spite of that treatment and a way to learn to hate himself a little bit less, maybe, even though he's still very insecure.
he also has a "nazi punks fuck off" shirt, but... he wouldn't wear that to thanksgiving with aunt may... probably. I'm sure his leather jacket is around here somewhere...
i picked thanksgiving arbitrarily btw 😂 it just made the most sense as a reason for may to force i mean ask them all to come over and get pictures and stuff. kaine leaves nyc in 2012 following ben and only comes back for good in 2016, but when he and aracely first come up in the summer there's a bunch of stuff happening so it makes sense to do fall, once it's settled down...
May: Oh, by the way Peter, I invited your... brothers... to Thanksgiving.
Peter: You did WHAT?!

Im being 1000% serious when I say not including Kaine in dark web would be a disservice to both him and Bens character
Ben is in full identity crisis mode and bringing in Kaine to remind him who they are and the identities they have built for themselves separate from Peter, and the bond they share as brothers and as scarlet spiders (the title kaine should use if he shows up btw they should both end the event going by it imo)
to remind him his burden isnt his alone and he has someone who understands his struggle and who he understands just has deeply
and considering Madelyne Pryor is involved and herself doesnt have a Kaine equivalent opens up so much, imagine her being jealous, them offering sympathy and acceptance, would she take it? it would definitely put a wedge in her and bens partnership and is a perfect thing to use as the start of the end for whatever they have planned
also i miss kaine sm

Hi, here's figgiforever but from main account, I would like to know more about your clone OC :) Why he owns shipp shaped like that? Who is his bro he loves? Why is he an ex-Stormtrooper? I hope you don't mind so many asks... You don't have to answer them if you don't like them, you can tell me something else about Nemo :)
Hello Figgiforever! I appreciate very much that you want to get to know Nemo a bit more. ♡ I'll try to make a very quick overview without spoilering too much of the story, in hopes that I get around posting it later and let the narration tell the tale.
Nemo is strong, loyal, dedicated, a bit naive.
Like many others, he was hatched during the Clone Wars in the cloning plant of Tipoca City, with the operating number CT-2503. After training, he took service in the Stormtrooper Corps under the Galactic Empire, becoming his veteran squad's vod'ika and overcoming many obstacles over his years of service. Eventually he deserted to save a brother who was wounded in action. Here's a work-in-progress sketch of them bros, living the fugitive life in many space adventures.
Nemo's ship is the Narwhal, or Narvalo. The name comes from its shape, which reminds of the unicorn cetacean present in Kamino's ocean (but also… you get it. xP) It's an old agricultural light freighter Nemo restored and modified during his years in hiding.
The design is vaguely inspired by a Nebulon-b frigate, but of course smaller and with different purpose (holding cargo containers). I promise someday I'll make a proper artwork of it, but for now all I can offer is some very rough concept sketches, apologises for the bad quality.
With the Narwhal, Nemo travels the Outer Rim in search for jobs, to save credits for an advanced surgery for his brother. In a shady pub on Nar Shadda, he is hired by Chara, to escort her archeological mission… and that's where the RPG story begins!
But Nemo has lived many adventures before this, and if you are curious to know more about how these adventures brought the bros up to this point, I am writing the background story in a fanfiction that hopefully I'll get around posting someday soon. The fic lore is mostly a mix of Republic Commando, Clone Wars and a bit of Battlefront.
If you have survived all this, have a little easter egg portrait of Nemo the Stormtrooper, from our very artistic game master. 8D

A fair warning that no one told me before watching TCW is that it’s a dangerous show if you get easily attached to characters. Like,, some of the clones have MAYBE 3 episodes of screentime and I still cry when they die. Also, it makes the prequels, which are already tragic, sooo much worse because instead of being like “awww dead jedi :(“ you’re like “oh no, dead jedi i KNOW”
And then being in the clone wars fandom is WORSE because you’re like “these clones with entirely fleshed out personalities are dying” and “oh no, aayla was shot down by bly, her husband” and “ahhh, plo koon was murdered by his own kids”
But also like, it’s also a great show if you get easily attached to characters because there are SO many and they’re all great
