havoc merch

i went a bit ham sorry.

in case you don't know havoc is a peter parker fanfiction written by stilestastic and you should definitely go read it right now because it's so good (and then the sequel aftermath). the characters, their dynamics, the plots, and the writing!! this story has everything!

kristyn i don't know if you remember but on your birthday last year, i sent you a screenshot and said it was a preview of something i was working on. well... i reorganized my files and i had lost the document (and kinda forgot about it). but i found them a month ago and i was like "i should do merch for havoc". so this is what this is. enjoy.

i decided to present things behance style (behance is a sort of pinterest for designs, illustrations, etc.) and i'll explain my choices and ramble as i show the slides.

     
✱

this slide is totally unnecessary here but if i posted this on behance i would have this at the top then i would have a little paragraph explaining havoc and this project.

but since it's here... i made a sort of logo for havoc (i will make a new intro gif with it soon hopefully). i choose blue, red, and yellow as the color palette because it's the primary colors and also relates to every member of the vigilante trio. blue — lena's powers. yellow — graham plays many instruments that are yellow/gold (also i associate music with yellow). red — peter's suit.

the font i used is cooper black, it's a retro, groovy, friendly font and i thought it fitted well with the books. (also nothing ever looks bad in cooper black)

  
✱

first off we have a sweater and tote bag for lena. (i have a headcanon that lena is either a tote bag or fjallraven kanken girl.)

i saw the quote "be nice or go away" somewhere on the internet and to me, it gives the same energy as lena saying "he's into legos and i write bad poetry. maybe you should get a hobby instead of judging other people's."

the graphic would be tuffed (like a rug) (i did my best with the mockup. it took two hours). i made the sweater white so the graphic can really stand out but if it was real i would also make a bunch of color variations with blue, white, and orange. (and just saying but i could totally make this tote bag because i have a tuffing needle and i recently bought blue yarn.)

 
✱

then we have a graham themed sweatsuit. it's kinda hard to see the graphics because i wanted them to blend (like graham blends the shadows).

it would be printed with puff ink (it make the ink "puff" giving it a 3d texture). on the front it says "it's cool to care" because to me it seems like a thing graham would say because he's a very caring person. on the back it also says "it's cool to care" but it's around a smiley face (it's the same as lena's). then on the bottom left leg of the sweatpants there are 3 smiley faces.

  
✱

a vigilante trio sweater! it's kinda simple but the text and the icons are so colorful i had to keep the sweater white. (i don't really know how i feel about it now but hopefully, i can get a better idea in the future). they will be better shown in other slides but i made little icons for lena, graham, and peter's vigilante personas.

  
✱

we are falling into the accessories category which is definitely where i went ham. here are just some little embroidered beanies. there are some with their vigilante icons and some with their names in the same style as the logo.

  
✱

some other tote bags. with their icons once again. and one new york one because i made this and i liked it, that's also where they live/operate so why not.

  
✱

phone cases time! (i have a lot of explaining to make)

line 1, top — this is a parkos phone case because i'm obsessed with them (they are literally the cutest). i was looking for ideas by stalking lena's section in kristyn's meet my ocs book and i found a spider web in the shape of a heart in a parkos moodboard and immediately was like "i NEED to make a phone case".

line 1, bottom — this is a texture for graham and it's part of another thing below.

line 2, top — you can see so little of it but it's a "it's cool to care" phone case in brown. also, the text is caved in (is this the right term??) for some texture.

line 2, middle — a really sweet line (that will make me cry when i re-read havoc) that graham says to lena. it's the kinda "official" quote for havoc so i really wanted to do something with it.

line 2, bottom — again can't see much. it a blue phone case with the same "be nice or go away" graphic as the sweater.

line 3, top — a texture for lena also used for something else. it's supposed to be a vintage/groovy texture representing her powers.

line 3, bottom — a black and white picture of new york with the same nyc graphic as the bag. the border would also come in red and blue.

line 4, top — a vigilante trio phone case that is similar to the "you're my hero" one.

line 4, middle — the vigilante trio emojis!! (🩵❤️💙🖤) as featured in the newest chapter of aftermath. (also the case is supposed to be transparent).

line 4, bottom — a peter texture for something else. (which follows).

  
✱

the vigilante trio pins!! (this was what i send you a preview of last year kristyn (the backing of lena's pin)). they're also featured of a fjallraven kanken backpack (in their colors) because it again goes with my headcanon (also i need one in these colors).

here are the explanations for the backing and the pins :

havoc
pin — the best way i thought i could represent her powers. like a mist of energy.
backing — a sort of vintage groovy texture that is supposed to represent her powers.

specter
pin — his shadow dog. (because if i did literal shadows it would look too similar to lena's)
backing — all the backing were supposed to be a vintage texture. originally the background was just black and white lines, which represented a piano (does he even play piano or did i just assume because of a "my ocs as vines" video where he plays piano in multiples??) but the lines didn't really look that good so i went with a diamond checkerboard.

spider-man
pin — the spider on his suit.
backing — a spider web.

a little behind the scenes for this slide : i had almost finished making this merch collection when i made this. and the background was looking a little boring so i added the spider-web and it changed everything (like literally. i remade everything) because it was too simple and not bold enough. but now i am happy and i will immediately delete any traces of version 1 of this.

✱

last things are : a water bottle in their colors with various stickers and some metal keychains.

✱

here are the shipping box and the bag. they're pretty similar except the box has the vigilante trio's icons on the side with a red/yellow background.

✱

first of all, this is just a thank you to anyone who read this! second, this would be the thank you cards sent with the orders.

✱

here's a picture of everything together. (i wish i could have just one picture on top of the other but to get the size under 3mb the file ended up really small and barely readable.)

✱

this is all thank you so much to anyone who read this! if you're kristyn or a reader of havoc and have any suggestions for quotes, symbols, designs, things to put it on, etc. let me know i'd love to expand this collection with everyone's ideas!

✱

+ bonus! on the day that i planned to post this kristyn published in her misc book a chapter about her ocs on character ai. and lena and graham have one so i asked them what kind of merch they would want. (if it's clothes or accessories, design ideas, and colors)

these ai really loved purple for some reasons. i don't like the designs much but i tried.

i also asked them what they thought of their shirt designs so here are their responses :

these ai characters are so fun i got sidetracked because me and graham started talking about one of my oc (he asked me if i was a superhero, and when i said no he asked me what kind of powers i wish i had and that's when i explained one of my oc's powers). also me and lena are besties she asked me my astrological sign (and shared her's but it isn't accurate).
