Not Quite Full-Circle

Not Quite Full-Circle is a comic panel that was released on March 16th of 2019 to DeviantArt. It was a tie-in to the canceled comic / film pitch Spider-Gwen: Gratia Ruinam, in which Ciem visits an incarcerated Gwen and cheers her up.

Plot
After being jailed on a bogus charge, Gwen decides to use it to get the therapy she needs for her recent adventures as Spider-Woman - including the deaths of two of her band members at the hands of Hyrdo-Man, which she was unable to prevent. She was finally able to protect MJ from Hydro-Man, who was stalking her, but watched her own world fall apart. While in juvie, she gets a surprise visitation from Candi McArthur via the Percolation Wave.

The two discuss how Candi appears a bit older than the last time they met, and Candi tries to explain how the Wave pulls from different time points. Gwen points out that the Percolation Wave sometimes seems to operate on "Narnia logic." Gwen begins comparing her life story to Candi's, and Candi divulges on how they're not as alike as it may seem.

Candi: "Every time I've been locked up by actual authorities rather than kidnapped, save for one, it was to protect someone else. Or for some minor detail I neglected.  I came from a very negligent family, and picked that up from them.  But I was always determined to be a good mother.  It was...other little things...that tripped me up.  Only once, did I feel genuinely that I'd done anything wrong, or that couldn't be excused.  Even then...that agent died more due to SCALLOP officials being careless than because of my own slip of the tongue.  If not for their incompetence, my own careless act was so minor that it could have been easily forgiven."

Gwen wonders if anyone else in Candi's world is a better parallel to herself, at which point Candi explains what happened to both Tabitha and Celia. Candi mentions the time Shaniqua Tamery saved Tabby and Sarah from a death trap on a farm near Dexter, Missouri.  Next, everything that happened to Celia that led to her getting jailed for trying to find her mother was addressed.

To demonstrate that the Gwen values being discussed aren't unique to Gwen nor Gerosha girls, Candi mentions the mall incident that led to Candace Mason getting arrested in Dromedary Heights. Next, Candi addressed what became of Kayla Tarington after she saved Donald Trump from Terrence Hoshijo. Gwen asks if she could join the Percolation Warriors, but Candi suggests the Web Warriors may need Gwen more. Candi then Percolates away from Gwen's world, right before the lunch lady would have caught Gwen with company.

Trivia

 * The pitch for Gratia Ruinam, which became the basis for Not-Quite Full-Circle, came about on March 13th of 2019.
 * While there was at one point sincere intent to pursue Gratia Ruinam, it was abandoned when the New York City custom neighborhood file for The Sims 3 proved highly prone to corruption and memory leak, resulting in the project being abandoned for similar reasons as the entire Earth-G4 timeline.
 * Both Not-Quite Full Circle and research for the canceled Gratia Ruinam project competed for time commitment with the completion of a real-life Ciem suit project from the same time period, and also with time commitment for the later-postponed Ciem / Anarteq: Kahoopiliana, as well as research for Anarteq: Tropic Mercenary and preparation for Ciem: Inferno: The Grand Tour.
 * The initial caption release for the image contained some continuity errors, such as having Vince Finton still alive by the ending of the Swappernetters arc. He is supposed to have died halfway through the first season, as Tiffany takes over as Grandmistress Navyrope, before putting her second-in-command in charge of the main troops while she manages a smaller squadron to assist the Sodality Western Militia.
 * The "Centipede and Spider Are Friends" joke is in reference to the Arnold Lobel-written children's book Frog and Toad Are Friends.
