My Favorite Things about Miles and Gwen

I’ve seen so many people hating on the Miles x Gwen ship…

So I’m making a list of my favorite things about it 🤪

Reason #1: They both have a deep, shared understanding of being superheroes as teenagers.

Reason #2: They both respect each other as heroes and acknowledge each other’s talent and ability.

Reason #3: Their talk at the Williamsburg Bank Building.

Reason #4: They get jealous of each other when they show interest in anyone else.

Reason #5: They make each other smile and love talking to each other: “It’s always so great to talk to you.”

Reason #6: They both relate to having rocky relationships with their dads and can talk to each other about it.

Reason #7: Miles was Gwen’s first friend since Peter. Gwen was Miles’ first friend at Visions.

Reason #8: The obvious spidey sense connection they have with each other, especially on Gwen’s part. Clearly the universe wants them together.

Reason #7: The little things they have to remember each other (Polaroid / Sketches).

Reason #8: How easy conversation becomes for they when they become friends.

Reason #9: Gwen goes to visit him when she isn’t supposed to.

Reason #10: Gwen in Miles’ jacket. That’s it.

Reason #11: Sharing a plate of food together 🥹

Reason #12: They are both characters that defy the norms of who Spider-Man is !!

Reason #13: Gwen considers Miles her only friend. On that note, she directly compares Miles to the closest friend she ever had in her life: Peter.

Reason #14: Miles unintentionally gave Gwen a sick signature haircut. LOL

Reason #15: They can have fun together swinging through NYC. I mean, how many couples have the ability to do that together?

Reason #16: Slow burn. Enough said.

Reason #17: Gwen immediately hugs Miles upon seeing him again and loves to give Miles little taps 🤭.

Reason #18: Miles helped Gwen get the bravery to try making friends again and made her believe that anything is possible and gave her a sense of hope. Gwen helped Miles on his journey to become Spider-Man. She inspires him and he looks up to her.

Reason #19 They make each other better people. Who they are now is because of each other.

Reason #20: Gwen WILL make up for her mistakes. Undoubtedly.

Ultimately, you’re entitled to your own opinion about the ship. But I think the Spider-Verse movies are portraying it really well 🤷‍♀️.

LOOK WHAT I JUST GOT AAHHH!!! 😭😭 as soon as i get jinx im unboxing both of them and making them kiss 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

It seems they didn’t understand that Ekko had always been in love with every side of her. He just needed to put the rivalry aside and think about it to understand.

Ekko saved everyone, except the girl he was learning to accept that he liked again, and Ekko was willing to start over again… it was very cruel 🤧

i mean, irony is one way to put it…

yangchen’s denial + rationalization combo in this book is so hilarious to me. she’s like “wow, we argue just like a real couple. that’s because we’re such good actors, clearly 😎”

you know i've seen a lot of people say oak and suren don't have sizzling chemistry or whatever like jurdan do and i just think that it's not, you know, the same /kind/ of chemistry but still

they don't have the enemies to lovers tension but...see.

oak brushing suren's hair, untangling the curls the way he did with his sisters and mothers hair

oak buying the hairpin for her and pinning it on her hair

oak playing that game with the fox pieces just as they did when they were children and letting suren win but then telling her she owes him a dance

when suren pinned the hairpin on his hair in that scene in the boat

this....whole paragraph

i think their appeal is their tenderness and the way they're so familiar with each other thanks to their childhood friendship. Idk I don't think we should expect Jurdan 2.0 with everything HB writes. Suren and Oak have their own beauty. They're a great example of friends to lovers done well (at least only in the first book) and with substance.

Pretty much how that's gonna go, right?
