Anonymous asked:
I'm told the old Romita era comics made a number of failed attempts to advance Gwen, and one of them involved taking some of MJ's traits and giving them to Gwen. After Gwen passed away, Gwen then started to be romanticized because she was dead. Did Gwen ever have a personality unique to her or was she always just MJ-lite?
Well... Gwen came first.
The traits she adopted from MJ (at Stan Lee's request) were mostly cool-kid jargon and fashion sense, which are things it makes sense for friends to pick up from each other. They even manage to play it off as cute in-universe characterization.
But they act and think very differently! If anything... MJ was Gwen-lite. Gwen at least got some thought bubbles. MJ started as just eccentric, hot, and self-centered because--well--it was funny.
They have separate lives. Gwen comes from an upper-class household with a cop for a dad and comes off as preppy and sometimes entitled. MJ lives with a working-class aunt and acts more alt-culture liberal but usually isn't on anyone's side but her own. Gwen is getting a scientific degree alongside Peter. MJ is following a long-shot dream of making it big by taking classes at community college. Gwen is Ditko flavored, MJ is Romita flavored.
Gwen is direct and confrontational where MJ is sarcastic and evasive. Gwen will insult someone she likes to get their attention while MJ will flatter people she dislikes just for kicks. Gwen has an investigative bent where MJ has a minding-my-own-damn-business field. Gwen checks in on friends' mental health, angry-cries fairly easily, and asks for help when she needs it. MJ would rather die than have an Unauthorized Feeling.
Gwen is fiercely loyal and cares a lot about things being Fair; she'll get in a stranger's face over something MJ would laugh off. MJ is now known as a combat pragmatist who can hold her own against supervillains, but people forget that Gwen would come at people with her BARE HANDS when she got mad. Just like Peter<3
"boring good girl vs cool bad girl" is the flattest way to read the girls' characterization and I'm sad it's reduced to that in people's minds. I say everything in this post as a huge 616 MJ apologist: Gwen wasn't left behind because she was the two-dimensional one.

While I have everyone’s attention I would like to thank Brotherhood for these two specific looks
hey nonbinary parents u kno how there’s shortened terms for mother and father but no good shortened terms for parent?? well i have the solution for you!!! instead of “parent” u can call urself “guardian” which can be shortened to “guard” and then when ur kid says things like “sorry i can’t go my guard says no” they sound rich and mysteriously important and u dont get misgendered and everyone wins
Additionally, when your kid has a bad influence trying to get them to do something they know you would be against they could say “Sorry, I don’t want to let my guard down” which is both mysterious AND a pun
I love how we all pretend Gwen was the cool suave one in ITSV as if she didn’t introduce herself as “GwaaaaaaaGwanda. My names gwanda. It’s African.” [realizes she is the whitest person to ever white] “I’m South African! I’m from. South Africa. Haha lol.” and then proceeds to lie so horribly that the only reason Miles didn’t catch onto her shit is because he was preoccupied with grabbing her shoulder in the world’s least smooth flirting move and then ripping her hair out
y'all are absolutely free to use tumblr however you please but I want redditors to know that they could, hypothetically, start a sideblog about a particular topic, add moderators to it, turn on submissions (and asks), make an "about" page laying out rules and such, and create a good tagging system. If you want it to be a bit more familiar.

Have such a good idea for a Kendall Munroe fic suddenly but I don't have time to write it auuuggghhhh
was nobody gonna tell me the missing submarine that charges 250k a seat to dick around the titanic is operated by a 40$ wireless game controller
Here’s the video of the tour. The sub is not classed by any regulatory body and cannot be opened internally. If the shit welding didn’t result in an implosion event, and if by some miracle the sub surfaced, they’re still trapped in a floating coffin with a dwindling air supply. Oh yeah, and here’s a picture of how crowded it looks with 5 people in it.
You could not pay me $250,000 to go in that thing.
Obsessed with the flimsy bottom of the barrel surgical masks, it’s an 8 day voyage in a sealed bathtub with minimal air filtration you may as well tongue kiss each other
Hello white mutuals. Before you is a charcuterie board with 15 different types of cheese. If you manage to go 12 hours without touching the cheeses you can leave this room. Good luck.
