🌈Happy end of Pride month! It’s time to go back to formula.💸
Transcription under the cut:
2 panel comic: Back to Formula.
Panel 1: June 30th 2022. Ms. Osborn, the CEO, hugs her daughter. Harriet is thankful for this rare display of affection and squeals, “MOM!”. Ms. Osborn states, “Harry, you’ve been GREAT #REPRESENTATION for Oscorp this month. I love you, my gay pathetic daughter.” Rainbows explode everywhere, with hearts and bright stars.
Panel 2: July 1st 2022. The palette is now reduced to black, dull red, and blue. Ms. Osborn pushes her daughter out of frame. She has an Uncle Sam hat on, and packs a pistol and cigar. She states, “Alright, you got your monthly hug allowance. Get this rainbow CRAP offa me, it’s time to shill the IRON PATRIOT war machine.” Harriet smiles with watery, teary eyes. “Thank you so much mommy, please remember me next year!”.
So we did a mini-marathon of rich teen movies. Clueless and Heathers. Not my favorite genre of movies, but very inspiring cuz I have NO idea how upper class people behave. Either they’re actually evil goblin capitalists like Norman, or they’re weird needy mean girls.
Like Harriet! She’s got her padded power shoulders ready to take up maximum hallway space, the femme equivalent of man-spreading thy thighs. And she would absolutely get mugged while trying to buy party drugs. Don’t mind Liv in a Heathers outfit. She’s a gorl scout like Piper and gets to get bullied by a rich friend too :)
Spoilers for Clueless and how I got absolutely punched in the taint out of nowhere by the canon relationships under the cut:
No one told me how WEIRD and EFFED up the family dynamics in Clueless are?!? I thought it was just another teen movie, but it has the main girl tongue punching her step-brother’s tonsils?! And acknowledging that it’s effed up by making a joke about how they’re not in the south and she’s underage so they can’t get married?!
(Guess that kinda mirrors how Norman wants to be a weird mentor-father figure for Peter, yet also writes love letters to him in his diary. And also Harry constantly calling Pete “we’re brothers” or “like family”, yet clearly Harry is super gay for Peter. Osborns are effed up man.)
Okay AND the main character in Clueless is her dad’s daughter-wife and he literally calls her a replacement for his wife taking care of him by organizing his meds and keeping track of his nuitrition?! 90′s was weird, man. Or maybe rich people are weird. They do weird things to keep their “royal bloodline” in the family....
Full color character sheet of my spider gorlz: Harriet, Piper, and thotty milve Norma. Piper sure does surround herself with redheads, huh? Lucky gal!
Image description:
The stupendous spider gorlz! Three women stand facing the camera.
First, Harriet, a tall skinny girl with a half grimace half smile. She wears a military jacket and big boots, and she has very curly red hair.
Next, Piper, who's hand is being gripped by Harriet. Piper is wearing baggy oversized clothing and glasses, and she smiles blankly.
Finally, Norma. Norma is posed dramatically, holding her arm above her head and wrapping her other hand around Piper's shoulder. She is wearing a very lowcut blouse and short skirt, revealing her veiny old boobs and legs. The overall vibe is Harriet's jealousy of Norma and Piper's relationship.

This will be useful for my /characters page >:) Have you checked that out yet??? I reformatted it yesterday!! Not everyone has their own page yet, a lot of it just links to my tumblr tags... but it will be awesome.
Do you think Harriet would want a little Normie to take care of?
Of course! Every type of Harry in EVERY universe wants a lil' Normie.
Psychologically, I think it's so interesting that Harry names their kid Normie. Not just cuz they worship their dad Norman even after all the abuse Norman's hurled at them, that's obvious. But it speaks to how they wish they could be a better dad than Norman was, but also be a better dad to.. their own dad!
They may or may not have known that Norman's dad was abusive, and that led to Norman himself regurgitating that cycle of abuse. I think Harry believes if they could have been that Better Dad for Norman, then Norman could have been that Better dad for Harry. And so many people have kids for wish-fulfillment and projection of everything they wish they could have done.
TL;DR? Harry wishes they could have been the daddy of their daddy, so their daddy would have been nicer to them :(
