Your gateway to endless inspiration
I’m half tempted to make an AU were by ( yet to be thought through circumstances) Curt and Martha have custody of Peter and Eddie after their parents die
Imagine if Ambrosius Osborn attended Norman's college graduation and got close to Norman, I think something like this would happen.
Ambrosius: You're finally going to get somewhere, Norman, make sure you bring honor to the Osborn name.
*Goblin comes forward*
Goblin: take his name out of your mouth!!
Otto and Curt notice what is happening and approach Norman, they are both much taller than Ambrosius and they look angry.
Rosie grabs the goblin's hand and pulls him away from Ambrosius, if either of them noticed a few tears forming in the goblin's eyes, neither of them mentioned it.
I made this drawing of Otto and Norman and I think I could do more, you know like little polaroids showing things that happened during their years at University, maybe I could even put some little story under the drawing, you are welcome to try to create the story behind the photo and send me images on which to base myself to make other of these polaroid drawings
so i said i manage otto, norman, rosie, emily and curt as friends since college? i feel like norman wouldn't have many friends after starting oscorp and that the five of them would be a great group of friends, like norman, otto and curt are discussing something about science and suddenly emily and rosie arrive from their last 19th century literature class and they start talking about the subject of their class and otto, norman and curt don't understand anything
Oooh I'm curious about your au, how did norman and otto reacted when they found out their wives are alive??
Well, for starters, they don't find out that both are alive at the same time, first they find out that Emily is alive and after they heal the lizard and it becomes curt again, they find out that Rosie is alive, since Curt recognized Otto and Norman and he was the one who put them in context about some things that had changed in this universe
Norman's reaction is mostly relief because he had been concerned that if there was a Harry Osborn in this universe the boy would be an orphan, but when he saw Emily next to a 6-year-old Harry during an oscorp presentation, Norman was relieved that his son was not alone and because he knew that Emily would be much better raising Harry than he had been, he also cried a little because Emily had been his best friend before they got married and it was a relief to see the happy and healthy one, you found the last memory that norman had of her which was ill emily wanting to say goodbye to a little harry
On the other hand Otto doesn't take it as well as Norman, he cries a lot, he cries everything he didn't cry when he was under the influence of the AI, he goes to where rosie lives and sees her through a window sees how this rosie she looks happy note how she seems to have a certain normality in her life and otto doesn't want to ruin that, so otto makes the decision that rosie will never find out about his existence, otto takes a long time to get over his rosie's death, and even more time to mentalize about the fact that the rosie of this universe is not her rosie, that she had 11 years to accept the death of otto, while otto has only had a few months to accept the 180 degree turn that his life gave, during all of that norman was a great support for otto, essentially being the pillar that kept otto from completely collapsing
(It must be said that the idea that rosie does not discover the existence of Otto does not last long just like emily does not discover the existence of Norman)
