Forced heterosexuality

I think it should be a trope. I really do. Because I think in terms of comic book romances, it is way too convenient to insert romances without bothering to develop chemistry.

Now before half of you cry about this, there is a difference between a well-written romance that does not romanticize toxic usually misogynistic tendencies between a cis male and cis woman and forced heterosexuality. And no, it does not mean relationships have to be idyllic. I am saying that writing romance has to be placed under as much scrutiny as you would on gay or lesbian romances.

Because this shit is forced.

Harry all of the sudden needs Gwen. Mind you that this is the same Harry that had no qualms about killing Gwen even after he found out that she was Spider-woman. All of the sudden, he wants Gwen to stay in this world when he was very much part of the reason why Gwen was an outcast in the first place. Like where did this even come from? Harry goes from having a crush on Gwen and being a friend to all of the sudden making romantic gestures?

Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn have no chemistry because Harry was more mad about Peter, a boy he pitied because of how broken he was, than he was mad about the entire smear campaign that he, his father, and J. Jonah helped orchestrate.

Why is Spider-Gwen so fucking miserable in her world? Because 3 white men decided to sympathize with a white boy who was one Breaking Benjamin song away from committing the next Columbine instead of actually looking into how they created the world that makes the Peter Parkers who don’t get bitten so willing to feel special that they turn themselves into a monster. Osborn is part of the reason why Gwen doesn’t have a private life anymore and yet he has the audacity to say he chooses her?

Fucking excuse me?

And people who hereto-lock refuse to even acknowledge the complexity of love when it comes to homosexuality. Like if there are two gay characters of the same sex then neither can ever be interested in another person ever. I am a huge proponent of Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy because they have the most chemistry and MJ comes off as a jilted selfish lover. But since she is with Glory, there is no way she could be interested in Gwen Stacy. It is like impossible for people to be with someone and love someone else. Guess what? People do that shit all of the time, sadly. But to even refuse that or even acknowledge that as a possibility is like rocket science to people when it comes to same sex relationships in fiction.

It is not like 616 Mary Jane was always with Peter and only Peter. She dated Harry and several dudes before Peter became a thing. 616 Gwen Stacy was with Flash before she dated Peter. And Betty being married to Ned Leeds did not stop Peter from making out with her nor did it stop her from having an affair with Flash. But there is no way that Em Jay can even be interested in Spider-Gwen because she is in a relationship with Glory?

Really?

Really?

Reaaaally?

She is gay for Spider-Gwen. The only reason she is with Glory is because Gwen wasn’t there.

There are even longing looks.

Man, I am telling you. There is more than enough text, subtext or context, to say MJ is crushing on Gwen. It is not queerbait. It’s intentional. She is acting like her 616 version did with Peter. Exactly like her in regards to their Spider-people’s heroism.

I am just saying it is forced heterosexuality when you immediately ignore context or possibilities and go for shallow relationships over relationships that actually have depth but are discarded because they are same sex. I am not crackshipping when it is the only relationship in the comic that actually has depth.

OKAY OKAY CAN I JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO DERAIL THE TAG AND SAY HOW EXCITED I AM TO SEE GWEMJ BECOMING LESS OF A SCATTERED GROUP AND MORE AWARE OF THE FORCE WE COULD BE??

I literally started up the ship name because my friends had some insane idea that I hated Gwen Stacy and liked MJ better. So I told them “no I don’t hate her I just want her to kiss MJ more.” AND THAT’S HOW THIS STARTED. (warning rant?? below) (but check out the post below this one it’s so cute)

Playing FF7 back, when I was 10: I hope I don't have to make a choice between Tifa and Aerith, I don't know which one I prefer for Cloud...

Playing FF7 today, when I'm 27: Okay. Girls. Now, kiss.

Miles and Gwen do date in the Spider-verse movie. Not sure how long it'll last, but seeing it in motion was... not great.

IT'S IN THE MOVIE?!

Why do artists refuse to use references why why why.

It’s not a contest to see who can get by without them. It’s not cheating to look at a thing in order to know what the thing looks like.

You don’t get stronger or better by pretending. Nobody is impressed by the awkward whatever-it-is you just drew. Use references.

As I wait for Into the Spider-verse & other movies to come out this month, this week got me more excited for Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers). And then the first trailer for Avengers 4 dropped today. That fear from months ago has returned. I don't think we're ready for this...

I am not prepares for any of this really. I'll be watching Into The Spiderverse soon and the others? I haven't watched the trailer yet but I know it will be good.

Would you be against MJ sharing Gwen with other ladies?

I honestly ship Gwen with a lot of people but I just really like seeing her with MJ the most so she might be fine with it. I'm gonna give some though to this.

[stykish-er]

I was starting to think I was the only one who shipped mj and Gwen,,,, I’m so happy I found your blog ah

Really? Wow, thanks! But I'm currently on a small hiatus(not really, it's been a year) so... Expect some GweMj content one way or another.. Yeah

What do you think of Gwen's hairstyle in the Into the Spider-Verse movie?

Was hoping that her blonde was actual blonde and not dyed blonde but still!! I love my daughter.
