Howdy, Heroes! good eVening, Villains! it's your resident Gwenpool, checking in with a question for all you fine folks who've been yanked here willy-nilly from across the multiverse!

WHAT'S YOUR HOME LIKE? and also, slightly more importantly: WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU BEEN?

it's come across my radar that there are a few others of us out there for whom this isn't their first extra-universal rodeo, so to speak. not their first time crossing the streams. not their first trip to another world, is what I'm saying. so if you fit that definition, I want you to come talk to me! tell me all about the world you come from, the other world(s) you've been to, what they were like, how you got there.

if anyone who's smarter than me wants to take note of all this and maybe do some research on what the common elements are in these collected stories, by all means, be my guest!
as for me, I'm mostly just curious.


that's all, Gwenpool out!


oh wait, no, that's not all.
you should all go follow my pet landshark Jeff on instagram! I'm trying to make him famous. landsharkjeff

This will be my first alternate universe, timelines are more my thing.

[variantcover]

well, I'm no theoretical physicist, but don't they say that alternate timelines sort of ARE their own separate universes?

[forasecond]

Not in my experience. It's more of a rewrite of events from the point of time that's changed, forward. But there's no evidence that it splits from itself into two parallel universes of "before" and "after" the inciting event.

[variantcover]

interesting!
like I said, I'm way too dumb to know all the rules for time travel or even multiverse travel. but if that's the way it works where you're from, I'll take your word for it!

[forasecond]

Time is a tricky mistress.

[variantcover]

that sounds like the tagline for a sci-fi romance novel.

[forasecond]

Jesus, grow up.

[variantcover]

okay, boomer

[forasecond]

Incorrect. I was born in 1989.

[Not that this exactly explains his age at all. But you know. It's still true.]

[variantcover]

okay, millennial just doesn't have the same ring to it!

[ Gwen is juuuuust on the cusp of Gen Z, so she's allowed to be disparaging towards millennials. ]

[forasecond]

Sounds like a you-problem.

[variantcover]

wow, RUDE?!

[forasecond]

Practically my middle name.

[variantcover]

then your parents REALLY had it out for you!

[forasecond]

Oh, you don't know the half of it.

[He doesn't have the deep-rooted bitterness toward Reginald the rest of his siblings do, but it's not as though there is no love lost between them, either.]

[variantcover]

sounds like there's a story there.

[forasecond]

Not one I'm getting into with a stranger.

[Or anyone outside of his family, really. Five is not a talker, by any stretch of the imagination.]
