The synopsis though does say that Gwen’s role in Marvel Pride is another romance story, in spite of that flag. Maybe it’s a generally aromantic but romance-positive situation? I’d describe myself like that on paper.

……… it’s also a gwenpool story, which is about the biggest heads-up that there is likely to be some genre-fuckery that i think you could get LMAO. she’s literally in a romance comic as we speak - not to mention she hasn’t even decided where she falls on the aro and ace spectrums yet 😭

also, i’m going to assume that this ask was also from you since it came in two minutes earlier, and reply to it here so that it does not ping the people you mentioned:

first off, i don’t believe he’s ever said that nadia is canonically aroace in any interviews. he’s mentioned on twitter many times that he wrote her with the mindset that she is aroace, and passed that wisdom along to sam maggs who also wrote nadia with that mindset, but what he’s posted here in the past few days (both in the reply you mentioned and his longer post on the subject) doesn’t go against anything he’s said previously.

secondly, who is this “marvel” you speak of? it’s not a monolith spitting out comics devoid of human input. in jeremy whitley’s words:

So, as I’ve said before, in my head Nadia is ace, but it’s not on paper and that is ultimately where the story lives. There are also a lot of folks in and out of comics that feel strongly about this too.

i think it’s important here to differentiate between “marvel doesn’t consider nadia canon aroace” and “nadia has never been explicitly textually stated to be aroace on the page of a comic, therefore it is not currently a part of marvel canon.” the second statement is correct, but the first statement is not very specific and does a disservice to the people behind the scenes who do work, and work very hard, to better queer representation in big two comics.

#i’m sorry if my reply sounds kinda snarky but like. these asks come across as very much ‘no fun allowed!!!’ #which is the antithesis of the PRIDE PARTY gwen is attending LMAO #asks #anon #f: marvel #marvel: comics #c: marvel's voices: pride vol. 3 (2023) #ch: gwendolyn poole #ch: nadia van dyne
