Her Name Was Marsha P Johnson, And We Have Her To Thank For So Much.

For the Mel defenders:

“Many question my motives. But their whispers do not define me” - I so love that they included this line in League.

While it’s tiring seeing Mel be constantly mischaracterized, that doesn’t erase the compelling and layered character that the writers crafted with her.

EPIC ALBUM COVER #134

Zombina and the Skeletones - Taste the Blood of... Zombina and the Skeletones

Released: 2002 (Ectoplastic)

Horror punk, pop punk, twee pop

princess!mel giving bodyguard!sevika the important duty of... peeling her orange. mel offers her the fruit as a joke, a coy smile on her lips, eager to see how sevika would handle the situation. sevika begrudgingly takes the orange, peeling the skin into a clean spiral, the citrusy scent filling the small space between them. mel is smug, a witty remark already on the tip of her tongue, but sevika catches her off guard by coaxing her mouth open with her metal fingers, sliding a piece of the tart fruit inside. if the princess couldn't peel her own orange, how could she possibly feed it to herself?

“Your lips, my lips

Apocalypse”

as the motorfang district attorney i can confirm these are all 100% true and real

motorfang headcannons because i think of them constantly

- they watch jeopardy together and compete with each other to win

- they both HATE when people eat food loudly; when peter b. eats around them they both just stare in disgust (this was based off some fan art i saw, when i find it ill credit them)

- the king and queen of side eyeing (it’s kind of canon already lmao)

- they aren’t super big on pda in the workplace. the most contact between them would just be a hand on the shoulder or when something is being passed between them (the exception is patching each other up)

- jessica is the only person miguel trusts to patch him up when he’s injured

- mutual. massaging.

- they are both stubborn and ridiculously petty, arguments (usually about the canon or miles) melt down into standoffs that last for hours

- jessica has miguel take down her protective styles

- saturday morning cleaning is something serious in their space cs they’re both lowkey neat freaks; music blasting, every surface wiped down, candles lit in every clean room

- when jessica first met miguel, she had a problem taking miguel seriously and would giggle during his monologues (it’s not her fault he looked like he was mewing every time he’d pause) miguel let it slide because he found her laugh cute anyway

- miguel was so afraid of putting jess in danger when he first recruited her once he learned she was pregnant; she had to convince him to give her harder missions

- they both know the rumors that circulate around the spider society about miguel being the father of jessica’s child, both choose not to address it

- glasses wearing power couple (sometimes, miguel prefers contacts)

- they temporarily took gwen in until hobie offered

- miguel liked the 2099 burgers up until they changed something in the recipe only he was able to detect. after basically throwing a fit and going back up to his screens without any food, jess bought him empanadas for him instead; only eats those now (i want to draw this lowk)

- love languages:

- miguel loves words of affirmation the most, being told by jessica that he and his work are valued means the world to him

- jessica loves physical touch; pregnancy is hard, even harder being a spider. and miguel is always willing to massage every ache and kiss every change in her body

- pet names were very gradually called amongst them. for a long time it was just “jess” and “migs”

- it never really evolved much besides “baby” and “amor”

- jessica isn’t fluent in spanish, she knows a lot of words just from context when miguel speaks (cursing and compliments towards her); she tries, and her spanish is decent

- 90s anime binging; jess loves sailor moon and miguel loves dragon ball z

- cat and child magnets

- miguel organized a part of the society to be a daycare after gerry was born so jessica could have easier access to her baby (and so peter would stop bringing mayday to nearly every mission)

ughhh i love them both they’re probably gonna argue in the next movie but idc ! 😍

me after being creative: I have earned another day on planet earth 👍 me when I wasn't creative all day: I have to perish immediately
