Oh How Deeply I Love This Wee Silly Rarepair Oh

Here’s an ask about FrankLuna from my mainblog <3

So about Frank x Luna... I am very much listening

(for anyone confused, this is referring to my sideblog @just-a-local-lunatic)

You have enabled me. I'm probably going to go on a long gush about them now lol

Yeah, so THEM, my babies, my beautiful children- *clears throat* Yeah, I can be normal about them. But yeah, this ship actually made me appriciate the friends to lovers trope a lot more than I did before.

I just think they have a lot of potential to them both. They haven't been explored as their own characters nearly enough and I think they'd be really good friends. I mean, I assume you've seen my FrankLuna post at this point. There are so many reasons that they work. I'm sure I have projected onto them both a lot, but they're mainly empty slates and I'm just trying to embellish the small character bits I already see in them.

I have curated a whole fanfic storyline for them up until they get married basically because I'm a sucker for a good happily ever after. Just because I can, I am going to give a little outline of what the story will be. Hopefully one day I will actually get around to writing it. I have a lot planned.

So it starts when Franklin and Luna are like 14/15 and they reunite after the Fantastic Four returns from space. (This was in the one fanfic I have published on my blog "Kidnapped...Again".) They become best friends and they hang out a lot. Luna managed to convince Crystal to let her go back to Braddock Academy and now she gets to see her dad a lot more and she hangs out with Franklin, Valeria, and Ben and Alicia's kids a lot (Nikki and Jo). And Franklin is still going to that one school that was in FF #20.

It's definitely going to be best friends to lovers, like there is not going to be any inkling of romance until they're older. Franklin does have one girlfriend though, a girl from his school Sara Jessen (who is mentioned in FF #20 as well). She's just a normal girl and though they have a good relationship they ultimately break up because Sara can't handle the stress of the superhero life. But Sara and Franklin stay friends. Also Luna, who got to know Sara as well, are also friends because I do not like women pitted against women.

Here's where stuff really starts to happen. At about 17/18, Franklin starts to feel like he wants to leave home. But he feels like he can't talk to anyone about it because he knows if he says anything his family will convince him to stay and he knows he won't be able to say no. He does tell Val this though, and eventually Franklin formulates a plan to leave home. He just wants some freedom and some time to figure out who he is without his family and without his powers, and he feels he can't do that at home.

So Franklin, with Val's help, leaves home. He does go talk with Spider-Man first though and gives him a phone that will let him reach him in case anything happens. Peter tries to convince him to stay, but realizes that Franklin already has his mind made up and lets him go with the condition that Franklin will call him when he gets wherever he's going.

(Of course Franklin's departure has huge repercussions at home, mainly in Reed who realizes he maybe hasn't been the best dad to Franklin in the last while, but that's not important right now. That will be for another post or ask. >:))

So this action kinda branches off into what I am thinking of as two comic miniseries' that crossover pretty often. First we have The Adventures of Franklin Richards, and overlapping with that is The Adventures of Luna Maximoff/Braddock Academy Adventures (I haven't decided on a name for that one yet).

Franklin's story follows him going to visit Artie and Leech who are back with the Morlocks (because I'm anti-Krakoa and so are they cause I said so). Franklin needs to have friends again. The Future Foundation was so good for him, but now they've all gone their separate ways. But basically Franklin is just hopping around the world visiting all his friends (Leech, Power Pack, Luna etc.), adopting a stray puppy (who he names Baxter), and figuring out that he can be a hero all on his own without his family behind him and without his powers. He eventually settles in London, England and moves in with an old couple who sponsor a disaster relief center that he volunteers at in exchange for shelter/meals. (This is also close to Luna, so he likes that.)

this is tragic i have reached the limit i'll reblog it with the rest

Marvel Meows #5

The moon seems like such a lonely place to be with only the stars to keep you company

#Teddy is 20 even though the avengers were present at around the time he was conceived and the avengers have existed for less than 16 years.#do skrull age fast. did the recent time travel story give him some time to grow up more some when. we just don’t know#I do want to know how old Luna is though#she was stated to be six around civil war time. that makes her 12 now#they grow up. painfully slowly#wait the young avengers who are 20 now were 16 then. she might only be ten#okay and this was all before civil war. I hate it here#marvel#comics [tags @meanstiel​ on this post]

I tried my best to break down Luna’s age progression in this post last year, after realizing that she is paradoxically the oldest and youngest out of all her cousins. 

Luna was born first, Billy and Tommy were born second, and Ahura was born last. The boys have all been aged up supernaturally, which allowed writers to refurbish the characters as adolescents and teens. It totally breaks the timeline, but that’s the point. They’re all young adults now, but Luna has been left to age naturally, which means she was stuck as a little kid for a really, really long time.

That definitely holds Luna back as a character, but at least she fits into the timeline. Pietro and Crystal haven’t really aged since the 90s, so it still makes sense for their daughter to be super young. Nowadays, Luna only shows up once every few years, but she’s a little bit older every time. In Quicksilver: No Surrender (2018) she looks like a young teen.

And in Fantastic Four #32 (pub. 2021), Crystal says that Luna has “blossomed into a young woman.” Luna mostly appears out of frame, but I think she looks like a teenager here. Maybe 14-15? Hard to say. Anyhow, that’s her most recent appearance. 

Character ages never make sense, and that’s just something we have to accept, but the arbitrary timelines that writers will set around big events like Civil War or HoxPox really break things. How am I supposed to believe that the Avengers have been around for less than twenty years, and the X-Men have only been around for ten, when there are characters on both teams who have full grown children that were born and raised within those timeframes?! Some of those kids are timewarpy and weird, like Wanda’s sons, but some of them have had fully natural lives and are just way too old to have parents under thirty.

Okay, I know this is Sailor Moon, but sometimes this is how I picture Luna Maximoff?? The colours and the outfit are so her.

Also she canonically likes shojo anime [FF (2013) #12] so there's no way she's not a Sailor Moon fan

Moon Crystal Power, Make Up!

girl dad

•  But first Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman must survive a very personal family crisis.

what kind of CRISIS i dont like the word CRISIS with that COVER 

Not portraying as Bentley as that weird friend who does illegal science experiments in your basement is a wasted opportunity. 

Sorry to blow up your inbox so much but Young Avenger!Luna gives me so many ideas. I wanna think about a dynamic between her and Teddy. Both of them are basically alien royalty so that could lead to a possible Kree-Skrull and Inhuman alliance.

Hey don’t worry about it! I love talking about this stuff! It’s been so fun!

That is a very interesting idea though, I hadn’t thought about that somehow! I think they would get along very well! i actually think that Luna would make a great Human-Inhuman relations ambassador when she grows up, so maybe Teddy gets her into the political side of things!

Luna: Ok, maybe playing ‘whose family is most dysfunctional’ wasn’t the best idea we’ve had. Ahura's been crying in the bathroom for an hour. We can’t get him out…
