Sorry If I Asked You Before. So The Passage Of Time That Is The 616 Universe Has Always Been Questionable.

So Franklin Richards x Luna Maximoff is my new OTP and I’m making a sideblog for it. I have no explanation behind why this happened. But they’re around the same age and I think they would work together. There will probably be a lot of Magnet Fam and Fantastic Four on here too.

Ooo, I like this! Having her use her dad's colours would be a nice touch! (though is she going the blue costume Quicksilver route or the green costume Quicksilver route?)

And either way she goes, Avenger or Scarlet Title Holder, I would just be happy if they used her at all *agony*

every day I wake up and I want to design Luna Maximoff a superhero costume but every day I wake up and I CAN'T DRAW

Reed: “Son, I’ll love you even if you aren’t a ridiculous god mode child”

Franklin: “Thanks dad but I’d prefer the power to crush all who oppose me”

A Villain: *talking to Valeria, Bentley and Franklin* Maybe I should lock you three up in here as well!

Franklin: Nah that's cool. Tonight's Taco Night at home.

franklin should be shorter than valeria when they're all grown up. tbh. like he's almost an adult in canon rn n was shorter than wolverine im just saying. it's fun if he's got the same stocky build i always imagine sue & johnny with and valeria gets reed's awkward lankiness.

I wish we got more of an exploration of Luna's powers and just her in general. For me personally, I'd make her an Inhuman/Mutant hybrid and put her with the Young Avengers. She could have such an interesting dynamic with her cousins Billy and Tommy plus I want to see her and Magneto interact

Ugh yeah. I talk about this in a meta on my sideblog, if you haven't seen it. (https://just-a-local-lunatic.tumblr.com/post/673398401110556672/the-potential-of-luna-maximoff) I just want to know what her character is like and how her powers affect that. She is such an interesting character.

But what I would give to have Luna interact with any member of Pietro's side of the family. She has literally never met Billy and Tommy and I'm mad about it. And yeah, Grandpa Magneto and Luna would be such a fun dynamic. I also want to see her with Lorna and Wanda. It would be really fun to have like a little comic one shot with Lorna and Wanda rescuing Luna or something with just the girls. I would be happy with almost anything at this point.

(also with Billy and Tommy technically Luna was born before them but when they were reincarnated they are now older and I think it would be a funny running joke for Luna to be like "as the older cousin here-")

Franklin Richards x Luna Maximoff

So I’m basically just writing this for me and just because maybe I can get other people into the ship… And quick disclaimer, some of these points are based off things that I am inferring from the characters because they really have not been delved into enough.

This is basically a list of reasons why Franklin and Luna would work together well and some other points about the nature of the ship itself. 

Beware that this will probably be a little scattered.

Childhood friends to lovers. That’s the ship dynamic. I am honestly amazed that nobody has thought to ship this before (from what I can tell) because Luna and Franklin for years have been the two main superhero children. Their families have always been shown to be close and likely they played together as children, not to mention that they were both part of the Future Foundation at one point.

Background. Both Franklin and Luna grew up in tumultuous situations. They both know what it’s like to be the children of superheroes and to be held back because their parents wanted to protect them. (Though Franklin has not been cooped up his entire life, he’s been allowed to explore, where Luna has not.) Both of them have similar experiences, having been kidnapped multiple times by supervillains fighting their parents (which I headcanon they both have PTSD from).

Family. Both Luna and Franklin are specifically tied to their families. The Fantastic Four is Marvel’s First Family and is portrayed as a close, loving family. Luna is the only daughter of Crystal, the Inhuman princess, whose family suffers from constant infighting, and also is the daughter of Quicksilver, making her the granddaughter of Magneto (the retcon can choke). Luna’s family is anything but stable. Franklin and Luna’s family lives are opposites. Luna has practically no support from her family while Franklin suffers from too much support (in his humble teenage opinion lol). In this way they contrast and compliment each other. It’s also likely that both of them have instilled in them a strong sense family values and a want for a stable, peaceful family, which is something they have in common

Personality. Franklin (at least in the current FF run) is very cynical. Growing up the son of superheroes seems to have finally gotten to him. He’s jaded and definitely “going through a phase”. But underneath that is the boy he used to be. Someone with creativity, hope and bravery. Luna is someone who, even though she has gone through so much, has kept her kindness. She is emotionally intelligent (due to her empathy powers) and can look past someone’s outer exterior to their hearts. Underneath everything, both of them are tired kids, who somehow have managed to keep their hearts despite everything. Luna seems to have an easier time of this. But of course she hasn’t lived on earth her whole life and is still enamored by the idea of the ocean. She might be able to help Franklin see the beauty in the ordinary as to her it’s very extraordinary. But at the same time, Franklin might help to ground her more optimistic outlook on the world and together they could come to a happy balance.

And both of them are lonely. Now this is where we get into “inferring territory” because it has never been explicitly said of either of them. But in the current FF run we have seen Franklin completely isolated. He no longer has his best friend Leech with him or any of the Future Foundation members. He’s been banned from Krakoa because he’s not really a mutant (*curses Dan Slott*). The only people he has around him is his family. And from personal experience I can say that even the most kind and supportive family cannot always fill that lonely ache that comes late at night. And as for Luna…oh poor Luna. She has only ever had one friend, Adolf Impossible, who was never seen again and she went to Braddock Academy for a few weeks but did not go back. She lives on Attilan with her family, none of which are her age. Her only friend really seems to be Lockjaw…and he’s a dog… (Of course I headcanon that she’s quite close with her cousin Ahura, but that’s never been shown.) But Luna is lonely. And so is Franklin. And I figure that upon meeting each other as teenagers again, they would find some solace in one another as friends. (and in the fanfics I’m writing they are friends for a long time before getting romantic).

Note. One other thing I want to note is that Luna should not be some manic pixie dream girl to make all of Franklin’s fantasies come true and make his life better without contributing to hers. If anything, he’s the one fulfilling her dreams of being part of a big happy family (as opposed to her big dysfunctional family). Both Luna and Franklin have trauma and issues. They are not there to fix each other. They’re both going on journeys, on parallel paths that eventually converge.

Extra Reasons.

they both have glowy eyes so that’s frickin’ awesome

Luna just came out of comics limbo and looks to be about the same age as Franklin now based on her appearance

If they get married I get to tie together my two favourite Marvel families (Fantastic Four and Magneto’s Family)

They’re both rich kids.

They pass my vibe check and that’s what’s important

They both have been through so much and they deserve some happiness

I love them both and why shouldn’t I ship it?

And that’s it. <3 Feel free to message me if this brings you onto the ship. I am shipping them all by myself over here and enjoying it immensely.

Thank you to @lecinea and @suestormicons​ for the edits of Luna and Franklin at the top.
