This may sound ridiculous but I genuinely don't ship MJ and Peter. Like there's no iteration of them that ignites any type of emotion within me whatsoever.
If I'm being completely honest. It's like "Yes, heterosexual white couple with a woman basically written to be your perfect match from day one, with no sort of later internal conflict or growth at it's basis, yes, give us nothing and argue about the same thing for 50 years"
Every MJ and Peter scene I've seen in my life I've watched like
Completely emotionless and unmoved. There is no conflict to me. We know they end up together. It's been 70 years. The end.
MAYBE MCU Michelle and Peter from the MCU but even then that's like one specific scene from Far From Home.
But even in ITSV the whole time I was straight faced cause like....
Yeah, they get back together. Of course they do. And if they don't even better for me.
I am a Felicia Hardy supremacist. No offense to MJ but give me a strong sexual assault survivor who is wholy independent, has her own moral code and goals, and is openly ready to deal with conflict between her and Peter even if they still love each other.
Like.. enough of the 'gf sitting at home worried about her superhero bf'. I want the story where the bf is the one worried about his gf doing crazy superhero shit (Peter and Felicia)
Like you can't tell me you be watching MJ Peter scenes not knowing what's gonna happen or what they're gonna say or do they second the scene starts.
It's the same every time. Even if they try and throw in a little conflict it still ends the same.
YEAH and I'm counting NWH because we know we're gonna see Michelle again. The very obviously set up that she remembers Peter so,
When I'm watching Felicia and Peter - talking the video game - I genuinely don't know what's going to happen, what Felicia's angle is, or how they're going to express their emotions to each other.
There's conflict that actually develops over time and effects their relationship on a deep level for years in the comics.
They write MJ to be perfect for Peter, so every argument or breakup they have is contrived or forced as hell (One More Day). And they expect me to be on the edge of my seat.
At least TASM went for Gwen.
No shade to people who ship them though and I mean that.
It's just- It's just not for me. I need some conflict and growth here.
I will always ship Peter and Felicia first.
On the basis that their differening moral codes but willingness to see the other side while not compromising their morals plus them not falling into traditional relationship labels is just more compelling to me
Seeing a SA survivor taking back her power by becoming a vigilante, finally growing to trust a man who's face she hasn't even seen, and then coming to terms with who he is under the mask, as well as questioning her moral code of stealing - to be that's way more interesting than whatever the hell him and MJ got going on back at home.
I love MayDay tho.
This is one opinion from me you ain't gonna change. I ain't gonna argue about it. This was a Felicia x Peter blog before it was a Hobie one. Bring out the casket I'mma drop dead on this hill
If you would told me years ago that fucking McDonald would be sponsoring loki and Sylvie in loki season 2 i would laught at your face like the actual hell is going on
