What makes Crystal such an interesting character is that she is the physical embodiment of the most insufferable kind of privilege in a viciously misogynistic society.

She’s the princess of a very racist and classist kingdom and benefits from these things, but she has little to no agency among her family and peers with the most extreme example being the moment she’s sold off as a paramour to a dictator (by her own sister!) Her lack of agency and how she finds ways of keeping her privilege in this system directly correlates to her promiscuity.

Crystal eventually earning the title of the ‘people’s princess’ is honestly so fitting. ‘People’s princess’ is in of itself an oxymoron if you think about it for more than two seconds, which is the perfect summation of her character. I do think her desire to help people and her love for her husband came from a genuine place, she’s a rebellious spirit who never looked down on someone for their status, but she does all these things from her position of power. She wants to help the subjects of her kingdom but not enough to rebuke the privilege she gets from their oppression. She wants an exotic husband for whom she rebels against her family’s prejudice and traditions to marry him but won’t ever stand in solidarity with him when he actually needs it.

I’ve said it before but Pietro/crystal are basically the less warped and twisted version of Heathcliff/Catherine from Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. The novel is a gothic dark romance that examines race, gender and class as the foundation to the destructive whirlwind of Heathcliff and Cathy’s romance. The dichotomy of oppression and privilege Cathrine has as a high society white woman and the racism Heathcliff receives as a Romani boy are examined through the abuse they endure. If you’ve read the novel you’ll notice about a million parallels but there’s one moment in particular that always stands out to me.

People often bring up the instance when the two are trying to reconcile after Crystal’s affair and there’s still some tension between them, in this moment Crystal tells Pietro that if he ever tries to retaliate by having an affair of his own she will have her people imprison/ exile him.

Compare that to a moment in Bronte’s novel where a young Heathcliff and Cathy have a childish argument and in a moment of frustration Catherine yells at him, prompting one of the housekeepers to flog him. In their defence I don’t believe Crystal or Cathrine were trying to be malicious, in fact they come off as very childish and bratty. The problem is that when Crystal threatens Pietro like this she actually has the power to do that. This is what defines the relationship between the two. I feel like their relationship problems wouldn’t have been nearly as dramatic and messy if it wasn’t for this enormous power imbalance between them, it’s the direct source of discord in their marriage.

Considering the fact that multiple members of her family have tried to bring back slavery, I don’t think it’s fair to say she’s the worst of them, in fact Crystal has arguably done the most good out of her family. But perhaps what makes her so uniquely frustrating is what a massive hypocrite she is. How well this is handled varies on the writer.

Crystal is a Catherine Earnshaw, a Shiv Roy, a (significantly less evil) Cersei Lannister. Heck she has more in common with Emma Frost than most mutants do! I have love for all of these characters and find them very compelling but to me the moral failings of their hypocrisy, their complicated access to privilege and the lengths they’ll go to keep it is the core to their characters. I genuinely enjoy Crystal and think she is sympathetic and has redeeming qualities but she’ll never be a hero to me, her heroism, activism and ally-ship exists only in the comfort of her own margins. But that’s what makes her an entertaining character.

#pietro maximoff #crystal amaquelin #quicksilver #inhumans #pietro’s time with the inhumans is criminally underrated I always refer to it as his Othello arc #especially the stuff with maximus. and I WILL post about that later #WHY IS THIS LABELLED AS MATURE DAMMIT TUMBLR. lmao it’s the crystal content warning

This is just one instance where Orlando quotes HoM and gets it wrong. Do you think he actually read it?

Hank Pym taught me that there are choices beyond programming! Janet Van Dyne, that there was beauty in the smallest of people. Pietro Maximoff, that if one's father is evil, it does not mean the child must be! Clint Barton, that there is no such thing as a powerless man! And Wanda, my dear Wanda... taught me that even an android can love!

I'm rewatching the X-men movies and like...

the way Peter's power is called superspeed despite not being that (at least when you think about it it's probably not that) reminds me of the way ADHD is named after the symptoms affecting the most people who don't have ADHD

It was on this day eight years ago that Wanda Maximoff fell in love with Vision

Wanda Maximoff: 😳 OH NO, HE'S HOT!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

Wanda Maximoff: I looked in your head, and saw annihilation. 😍😍

Vision: Look again. 😏

Clint Barton: Yeah. 🙄 Her seal of approval means jack to me. 😒

Wanda Maximoff: Excuse me, I'm flirting here. 🤨🤨🤨

Bonus:

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

You see, another reason why the Axis retcon doesn’t work is because Magneto’s original name was Max Eisenhardt. Wanda and Pietro’s last name is Maximoff. Maximoff has Max in it. In this essay I will-

#I’m kidding #I know Maximoff is a Romani last name #and that there are more valid reasons why the retcon doesn’t work #I just thought this was funny #magneto #erik lehnsherr #max eisenhardt #the scarlet witch #scarlet witch #wanda maximoff #wanda django maximoff #quicksilver #pietro maximoff #marvel comics #marvel 616 #shitpost

Can you suggest some good comic!pietro fics?

sure! emphasis on 'some' bc there aren't many i like out there. youd think for a character w 14k fics some of them would be about comic pietro that i like. regardless

but i believe you are pushing your luck by shroomyystar: i read this one today. i cant express how bad this fucked me up . i am still thinking abt it. pietro & erik post axis retcon, a conversation about how pietro is no longer erik's actual son. the character writing in this is driving me crazy i need to go sit down with someone and discuss i tliterature class style IM INSNAE. so good.

Cycles by shroomyystar: fucked me up good as well im not gonna lie! pietro faces judgement from the progenitor. AXE compliant. SHOULDVE BEEN AN ACTUAL ISSUE METHINKS.. pietro characterization immaculate, plus LUNA.. ahh!!

Color Theory by Kworei: silver age pietro ft erik and wanda, brotherhood early days. SO good. pietro bullies erik for being a lil stupid and they also get to choose the colors for their outfits :) huge fan of pietro's writing and just how easy he can provoke erik he's my special boy

I might have recced this for the time someone asked me for wanda fics but Scatter What Remains by indevan remains such a good fic for both of them augh

rite of passage (driving lessons remix) by kworei: erik teaches pietro to drive. (GONE WRONG) set in the silver age as well. it's so ic it's actually painful and you really really wish they could jus thave normal driving lessons but they DONT. thats the beauty of it. pietro is just so good in this you really understand why he is the way he is

holding out for a hero by punkbean: OHH IM CRAZY IM CRAZY IM CRAZY U HAVE NO IDEA... TOMMY AND PIETROOOOOOOO THAT'S HIS FUCJKING UNCLE BTW IF ANYONE CARED. it's super good. in which tommy is recued by his hero, quicksilver, and their relationship develops from there. LIEK ITS ACTUALLY CRAZY GOOD ITS MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FIC

bonus technically x-men evolution but i liked it sm im reccing it anyway. a bitter boy like him by chocolatechip in which pietro gets injured and scott summers kisses his boo boo. SUCH a good and funny fic PLEASE.

#asks #pietro maximoff #throwback to 3am when my electricity died and i was like knees deep int he pietro tag #LIKE WHEN I SAY KNEE DEEP........I MEAN IT #AFTER FILTERING OUT EVERYTHING I DIDNT WANT TO SEE LIKE THE EMMM CEE UU AND EX EMM CEE UU I WAS LLIKE OK LETS DIG IN #IRT WASNT ENOUGH TURNS OUT PEOPLE CANT TAG CORRECTLY #but regardless i found out pietro fucked dr doom one time so you know what I still won somewhat #there were many pietro fics but they were like relationship ones and sometimes i just want character study lol #anyway. why am i rambling

[fictionaltrvlr]

the fact that pietro maximoff was on-screen for like five minutes as a side character in one movie eight years ago and still has a hold on so many fans and there is still new content being created for him is a real testament to wasted potential

#I miss him #he was underused even when he was on screen #and yes I know the whole pietro vs peter conversation #but I think they can both exist and both be good #anyway I don’t know why they didn’t capitalize on him in the mcu #he really was great #pietro maximoff #quicksilver #mcu #marvel

[outlawssweetheart]

Some writers/producers/directors have such obvious personal beef with certain characters, and it’s both hilarious and infuriating. Hilarious because of how pathetic it is, but infuriating because of how shitty they treat and talk about the character.

#richie kirsch #RICHIE! OH MY GOD I swear Radio Silence knew some guy they based Richie on who they fucking HATED #because all they do is shit-talk him in interviews and in the damn 6th movie!! #Not to mention that those guys are such obvious Pick Me Guys; it's PATHETIC! 🙄 #I swear they just hate any guys who aren't Chadley angelic; or they act like they do to impress women who are antis. Idk which. 🙄 #Either way it's annoying and pathetic and while *hate* is a strong word... I strongly dislike them. 😒 #ethan landry #Yeah I think they hate Ethan too. Idk why; I can just *feel* it. 😒 #vince schneider #They left him out of pretty much all marketing even though other characters in 5 & 6 who got posters/on the main posters #got basically the same amount of screen time before getting murked?? 🤨 And he's STU'S FUCKING NEPHEW ffs! #jason blossom #jason carver #These 2 have been SO BLATANT; especially Jason C! 😤😤😤 #(I mean on Riverdale and in the various comics. Especially AWA.) #pietro maximoff #I wanna say #wanda maximoff #as well but Idk if Marvel writers *hate* her or if they just like to torment her bc she makes a good victim. #mk skarlet #petyr baelish #PETYR WAS A BAD BITCH (in more ways than one) and they made him die like a PUSSY! Just to service to most BORING fans. 😒 #aegon ii targaryen #OBVIOUS. 🙄 #daemon targaryen #Idk if it's Ryan Condal too but Sara Hess has most OBVIOUS beef with Daemon and it's so fucking stupid. 🙄 Please fire her already. 😒 #daenerys targaryen #Do I even need to explain this one?
