#miles and gwen’s friendship is the real canon event‼️

[rere9500-18]

Attraction and kinship. These deep bonds usually need in order to bloom into something beautiful. A sense that it’s okay when this person is around.

Gwen says it’s different and, in a way, it is. Hobie, in a way, took her in, helped her when she was basically homeless, treated her as a fellow Spider. They bonded because of that. Because Hobie didn’t look at her and saw ‘weak’. He knows we all need help once in awhile and he stood up to do so, making Gwen trust in him more than she’d ever thought she would. I bet Gwen was hesitant at first, but as Hobie helped her more and more, she realized he started treating her as if she was family. The ‘The friendship with Hobie is different’ sentence merely refers to how they came to bond and their differences in situations on the occasion that they truly started to see each other as friends.

With Miles, it’s like that feeling where you both start off in the same point in life. Where you bond over the little silly things and continue that bond over the things you find you share in common. (One of them being making friends.) Both Gwen and Miles have a little trouble making TRUE friends. The close ones. (Though we see Gwen really struggle with it as she doesn’t try to get too attached to someone if they don’t truly understand and *get* her. Like her Peter. That’s why he was her best friend. She found out she was like him. He GOT her and she got him.) With Miles, you don’t see him dwell on it, but it’s clear he tries to make friends he can connect to, but always had trouble.

They’re the same in the ways that count. Maybe not particularly as spider-people, but as PEOPLE people. People who have cops as a parent(s). People who struggle with their own identity and still is trying to figure out who they wanna be and what they wanna do.

In a way, Miles was the reason she started to ‘do friends’ again. The reason she started even making friends in the spider society, I’m willing to bet. He was her inspiration, her motivation, not to turn up people who may just be people who she could be life-long friends with, like her and Miles. Their friendship impacted her so much, she doesn’t wanna give the chance up to make new friends if she had the choice. Like how Hobie and Gwen became friends, like how Margo and Gwen also became friends (because trust me, I KNOW they became friends), and like how she’s beginning to blossom herself up to the reality that she can ‘do friends’ again and BE okay. One friend can only lead to some others.

And I think that’s why that’s all Miles had to say in that scene (“We’re the same”) to sum up what exactly he and Gwen were both feeling in that moment because that’s exactly what they’re feeling. And that’s what their bond means to them.

Which is why it’ll hurt to see them reunite in Beyond 😭 Their bond is strong, but it has some bruises they’ll have to mend.
