The music was bopping in the club. Multicolored lights drenched the club, making even the dark areas look bright and cheery.
Gwen laughed as MJ put her hands on Gwen’s hips, and they swayed to the music. Gwen responded by putting her arms on MJ’s shoulder, and threading her fingers through MJ’s hair.
It was a light, airy night. No sadness, no heaviness, just fun.
The music sped up, and their dancing tempo sped up in return. Gwen tugged slightly, then configured herself so she pulled MJ into a half turn, leading to MJ’s back pressing up against Gwen’s chest.
“Love you cherry,” Gwen said against MJ’s ear.
MJ laughed. “Love you too,” she said, kissing Gwen in the middle of the club.
I’m really behind on 616 continuity but I’ll do my best!
Harry Osborn:
general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang (but it varies from artist to artist really) hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff best quality: Is SO MUCH BETTER than his circumstances could’ve made him. Also is generous and kindhearted and mostly a good friend worst quality: I want to say he has none but he has plenty. He was pretty horrible to both Peter and Liz in his Green Goblin days ship them with: PETER, also Liz, also sometimes MJ, he’s a very shippable dude brotp them with: also PETER, and MJ, and Gwen misc. thoughts: Please MCU writers if you include him don’t fuck him up please please please
Mary Jane Watson
general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang hogwarts house:gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff best quality: Overcame a shitty upbringing to be confident and brave and compassionate worst quality: Used to be kinda flighty and immature but soon got over it ship them with: PETER, sometimes Gwen every now and then brotp them with: Gwen and Harry mostly misc. thoughts: Why, why why wasn’t Zendaya cast to play her instead of a kinda amalgamation character who shares part of her name, she’d have been so good (I mean, she was good anyway, but still.)
EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS SCENE FROM THE SPIDER-MAN (2002) NOVELIZATION IN WHICH MARY JANE CONFRONTS HER ABUSIVE FATHER ON THE WAY TO NORMAN OSBORN’S FUNERAL
This is actually possibly one of my favourite MJ scenes of all time, and I’m forever furious it wasn’t actually in the movie.
ugh the moment in the first sam raimi spider-man movie when harry is criticizing mary jane for not wearing back because his father likes black, and she’s like, “maybe he’ll be impressed no matter what”–that must’ve been so hard for someone with low self confidence i’m so proud of her
I love Harry but a good boyfriend he was not, and she was right to ditch him
Just a reminder that in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy, Mary Jane Watson is a lonely girl who seems happy on the outside but suffers abuse at home that shapes her perception of herself for years to come, as each and every let down seems like a direct result of her own failure as a woman and a person, We see her fight for what she wants, stand up for herself, grow empathetic and forgiving and generous with her heart, be flawed and selfish and angry and human, chase after her dreams, and continue to fight every day through the mundane cycle of life because by the end she finally knows she deserves to be happy. And that is a hell of a character arc. And I’m still grateful we got it.
