A Ship With Love Tragedy

A ship with love tragedy

Oh. My. God! I can't seem to shut up about Gwen Stacy can I?

I may be pushing it rn with the character but she's so tragic, she'll never not be interesting!

If she never became a thing, if the spider verse comics and animation weren't created then I'd have no reason to keep watching Spider-Man.

Don't get me wrong, Peter Parker is understandably popular but I was kinda getting bored of him after Spiderman no way home.

But today's spider icons are Miles and Gwen. Gwen having a much tragic reason to be iconic.

Already posted her tragedy so I'll just talk about the other big thing: Her tragic love life.

Because Mistress Death is always following Gwen Stacy (any earth), I feel too scared of being heartbroken when there's a new spider man comic where a non super Gwen Stacy is in it.

And since Death can't claim earth 65 Gwen, she'll claim her loved ones souls instead. Like this kinda makes me think of Rogue's issue with skin contact. Except people don't die by touching Gwen, more like getting emotionally close to Gwen.

This sucks I know, and this raises her fear of losing her loved ones at a higher level. It may be self sabotage or lack of understanding from the other person. She might as well just wear a sign saying "date at your own risk"

Falling in love with someone would just make her life even more complicated...and a bit overwhelming.

I admit, she's not the only spider themed hero who feels like the unluckiest superhero ever. Peter's life wasn't all fun and sunshine either. Despite this she also learned to get back up and keep fighting.

I think for now, she still needs plenty of time to heal, so she can really start getting in a relationship.

I say this with a mature understanding, even though I do want her to date Ami Han. But I must accept this and watch her learn and grow.

I think I'll make more posts about the ghostfox ship after the next post about Ami.
