a/n: happy pride month (lol I queued this in february just so I didn’t forget to post it) anyways im bi and pls know my page is a safe space for everyone 💗💜💙

Fluffy piece where Tony and Steve are chosen as the grand marshalls for the pride parade and it becomes a family affair.

“this just in, you all officially have the coolest dads in history!” Tony bellowed as he dramatically entered the common space, Steve right behind him with a plethora of eye rolls.

Right as you were about to protest, Bucky chimed in, “neither of you are my father.”

“with the way I’ve saved your sorry ass? Might as well be.”

“saved my sorry ass? Oh Stevie, have you forgotten who pulled your ass out of every back alley fight you got into? Or have the years 1932 to 1941.”

“I did not start a fight in 1932!” Steve argued back, hands placed firmly on his hips.

“bullshit! 5 years old, playground 2 blocks over, Arthur Williams.”

Steve frowned slightly, “damn I forgot about that.”

Beside you Peter snorted, “you got into a fight when you were 5?”

“Wow darling, you came out of the womb with righteous indignation didn’t you?” Tony added with a small smirk as he moved to rest against the back of the couch.

Steve threw his hands up in defeat, “oh haha laugh it up. Yes I’m old, yes I’m stubborn. Can we please just go back to how we’re cool?”

“Wait before that, back to the ‘not my fathers thing’ does this mean you see yourselves as the team fathers? Because if you’re adopting more people, I want in!” Clint said cheerfully.

“Sorry we capped out at four.”

You stuck your tongue out at Clint with a little ‘ha ha’ because you were mature like that. “anyways… why do you think you are the coolest dads? I wanna get my rebuttal in soon.”

Tony bopped the back of your head playfully as he dropped a very rainbow piece of paper into your lap. Peter instantly leaned into your space to read it. You pushed him back with a shove to the forehead. “relax nerd I’m gonna read it out loud.”

“hurry up I’m getting antsy.” You threw an unimpressed look at Clint who had practically crawled into Bucky’s lap to get closer, not that Bucky minded.

“Chill.” You smoothed out the paper and held it up, “All hail the next Grand Marshals of NYC Pride, Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. We are happy to formally announce the two superheroes and super husbands as our fearless leaders of the float parade this year.”

“That’s the public announcement they put out, turn it over to read the letter they sent us.”

“Dear Mr. Anthony and Steven Stark-Rogers, we are so excited to welcome you into our NYC Pride Parade family. As this year’s appointed Grand Marshals it is both our duty and pleasure to pass the Pride Baton over to you. Included in this letter you will find the rules and expectations of our Grand Marshals, as well as what is permitted for first floats. We would love if you extended this invitation to your entire circle of family and friends to join you in the parade and on your float.”

You put the paper down and tilted your head back to stare at your dad, “you? Grand Marshal? Really?”

“What’s so shocking about that?”

“umm…. You’re old and not cool.”

Bucky sputtered a laugh beside you as Tony bopped you on the head again.

“Was this your way of telling us to come to pride with you?” Peter asked.

Steve shook his head as he flopped into a nearby loveseat, “actually this was our way of telling you that we need your help coming up with ideas for the float and how to decorate it. But of course we want you to join us on the float, we’ll be inviting the rest of the team as well.”

“I’ll help decorate but Bi-derman is making another appearance this year.”

Tony slapped his forehead, “can you take your old suit at least? The paint was a bitch to get off last time.”

Peter rolled his eyes, “the old suit chafes.”

You grimaced, “I hate this conversation.”

“I think you should do a dog themed float, Lucky can be our mascot.”

Bucky sighed, “of course that’s your suggestion.”

“what about the history of pride? Recognizing the Stonewall Riots and the two black transgender females that started it all. Plus then we can also advocate for Black Lives Matter. Make it clear that to support one, you have to support the other. Educate and entertain.”

Tony smiled, “that’s not a bad idea y/n.”

Steve looked at you with hopeful eyes, “are you willing to help organize and coordinate?”

“can I invite friends to help?”

“yes.”

You smiled, “then yes.”

------

“when I said organize and coordinate, I didn’t mean take over the conference room we use regularly for avengers meetings.” Steve said with a deep sigh

“it’s the only one with a vending machine.” MJ helpfully pointed out, taking another large bite of her pizza slice.

“yeah it was the only way to get Clint to sit through meetings without leaving to get food.” Steve explained as he stepped into the room and took in the large array of papers everywhere. The four teenage girls that occupied the room were all busy with one thing or another, looking intense and determined.

MJ snorted, “figures.” Her hand ghosted over the page again, dragging the pencil with it and creating another addition to her sketch.

Steve’s brow furrowed for a moment and he took a step closer to get a better look, “is that me?”

MJ nodded coolly but offered no other explanation. Betty huffed a laugh, “we’re trying to design both you and Mr. Stark crown-like head pieces.”

“crowns?”

You rolled your eyes, “Pops, you really do only hear what you wanna hear. Crown-like head pieces. I know dad would go for a full ass crown but I knew you wouldn’t and we want you two to match.”

Steve studied the photos of celebrities that were projected on the wall. “and that?”

“The 2018 Met Gala. Theme: heavenly bodies. There were a bunch of great head pieces that night, we’re using it for inspiration.” Gwen supplied, “let us know if there’s any you like.”

“I wanna go in a Cardi B direction.” You stated without taking your eyes off your computer screen, you’ve obviously already committed every possible headpiece to memory.

“don’t taint his selection with bias!” Betty cried

MJ waved her off easily, “there’s no way he knows who Cardi B is.”

“thanks for the confidence MJ.” She just smiled cheekily at him.

“I think he should choose something like what Frances McDormand was wearing.” Gwen stated with a small smile

MJ laughed, “as much as I think that would look amazing, there’s no way he’s picking that.”

“who’s this?”

You barely had to glance at the photo to recognize the red and gold dress and of course the iconic headpiece, “Black Lively.”

“Okay well I like that, it’s simple.”

“what about…” Gwen drawled as she typed something and new photo, a larger one, took over the whole wall, “Something like SZA’s?”

Steve took a step back and grimaced slightly, “it’s kinda… big.”

“But if it were smaller?” Gwen pressed politely

“I suppose.” Steve glanced around at the four girls. “You guys have a lot of stuff planned.”

“Oh yeah.” You looked up with a big grin, meeting your dad’s eye. “It’s gonna be great.”

“You’re not designing us costumes too are you?”

“Well Tony specifically said not too and that he already had something planned.” MJ said before eyeing Steve up and down with the critical eye of an artist, “But we could design something if you wanted us too.”

“No, I kinda of already have a plan too.”

You rose a questioning brow, “oh yeah? Please tell me you’re not going to be wearing something boring.”

Steve rolled his eyes at you and obnoxiously bumped his hip into your side as he walked out, “I’m not clueless on how to dress for Pride. Plus, I like dressing up for it, it’s fun. And it’s not something we got to do back then. I’m planning on taking full advantage.” And with that he walked out dramatically and closed the door.

Betty laughed slightly, “ten bucks that he paints the shield.”

Gwen shook his head, “No way. I think he’s gonna wear one of the flags as a cape.”

MJ clicked her tongue, “I know for a fact he’ll be wearing his ‘trans rights are human rights’ shirt.” Pause. “and probably his rainbow pants.”

You looked at MJ with a perplexed expression, “why do you know about my dad’s rainbow pants?”

MJ smirked slightly, “he wore them to pride a few years ago. Plus, me and peter talk about things. You’re not the only Stark-Rogers twin I hang out with.”

Gwen obnoxiously nudged Betty with her elbow and a large wink, “Oh yeah… she talks to Peter.” MJ scowled at the two as you snickered behind your hand.

MJ grumbled slightly, “let’s just get back to work.” It was silent in the room until the three other girls heard MJ mumble, “I never have to deal with this at college.”

You burst into a fit of laughter.

Pride was without a doubt a 100% success.

The float looked great. The area had already been swept for trouble. One Grand Marshal was moderately drunk. And Everyone was dancing and partying. Perfect.

Even the float attendees looked great. Clint was the brightest of the all. With no shirt on, glitter all over his chest, a rainbow tutu around his hips, tight purple booty shorts underneath, knee high socks with the pan pride flag on them, plus his signature purple converse… he looked good.

You’ve been snickering every time you catch Bucky not so subtlety looking Clint up and down. But that being said, Clint was doing the same to Bucky because he had someone managed to get the stoic and whiney super soldier into a rainbow button down. Nothing else, as that wasn’t Bucky’s jam. He paired the shirt with simple jeans but you were sure that he would be covered with glitter later.

Peter had been swinging around the parade, his first Stark suit now painted a vibrant pink, purple, and blue. Plus there was a large, messily painted on heart over where the spider sat in the middle of his chest.

You and all your friends had taken up the dance floor on the float, and if you said so yourself, you all were killing the dance moves.

Tony was more than tipsy because Bruce was on babysitting duty tonight for Morgan, so he let himself go and lean heavily against his husband, who just grinned at him all lovingly.

In the end, it was a good day. You threw beads and candy to the crowd, joining them at times for drinks and dance parties. You laughed endlessly with your friends and your family. And yeah… it was a good day.

Plus, all your friends had been correct.

Steve wore his trans shirt in solidarity with the ongoing movements and the float.

He wore his rainbow pants because they were “super fashionable y/n” and to support everyone.

He painted his shield purple, blue, and pink to show off his own sexuality and support Peter.

And he had a pansexual flag tied around his neck to match with Tony’s pink, yellow, and blue shirt.

He looked great.

Gwen Stacy isn’t underappreciated.

To be underappreciated you need to be appreciated less than your character deserves. Like if you were a hunk of Gold worth 10 carats people would need to value you as 9 or below.

Gwen Stacy is like a 4 carat hunk of gold valued at 25 carats.

And gold can only go up to 24 carats!

THAT’S HOW OVERRATED GWEN STACY IS!

Lets review Gwen Stacy for a moment, and the first thing to ask is...which Gwen Stacy?

Mean Girl Ditko Gwen Stacy?

Nicer but bland Early Romita Senior Gwen Stacy?

The Romita Gwen Stacy actively and blatantly ripping off Mary Jane because Stan Lee and Romita Senior and all the readers knew MJ was more popular so they tried making Gwen more like MJ whilst making MJ different?

Late Silver Age Gwen Stacy who would cry at the drop of a hat because God bless Stan Lee he wasn’t the best writer of female characters and defaulted most of his girlfriend characters to hysterical, crying unreasonable people designed to make the protagonists’ lives more difficult?

Holy Sainted Martyr Gwen Stacy who died for our sins?

Maybe we mean the Gwen Stacy who was super into science even though she barely did any of it in the 1960s-1970s but in modern stories she needed SOME kind of personality trait for people to hang her hat on so I guess we flanderized this instead of her penchant for organizing parties.

Perhaps we mean Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacy. That version who liked Peter whilst he was being bullied in high school, liked science, was Peter’s high school sweetheart, whom he romantically confessed his secret to and who would talk with him about it on the bleachers or patching up his wounds romantically. Just like she did in the Ultimate Universe where she had red hair and was called Mary fucking Jane!

Or do we perhaps mean Spider-Gwen, the version so popular and prevalent (because its just Spider-Man but as a teen drummer girl and a cool costume) that it just gets lumped in with all the above Gwen Stacys and treated as part of her character rather than being separated into her own character like most AU versions of most other characters except most other characters aren’t as lame as original Gwen Stacy so each version can stand fine on their own.*

youtube

(Why yes this is a video that around the 2:55 mark starts spinning Gwen’s lack of development and anything like a concrete personality as a positive for her character! By this logic Gwen is better than friggin BATMAN because he’s got a defined personality and so can’t be rewritten to just be anything and everything...including a cosplayer who isn’t even a version of Gwen Stacy!)

THAT people is Gwen Stacy. A lame, inconsistent character in life who was more remembered for dying and after her death was subject to the heaviest, most obnoxious revisionism, swiping from other (legitimately better) characters and conflating until she became an even more inconsistent mess people built a cult of worship around.

And you wanna know the REAL reason there even is so much worship of her?

Well it began as this.

Because when she died that became the most memorable thing about her. It was until Spider-Gwen THE FIRST thing anyone ever finds out about Gwen Stacy, and the second is that she and Spider-Man were in love.

So it’s a tragic love story and a great big ‘what if things had turned out differently situation.

And since most people either don’t go back to read Gwen as she was in life or else don’t do it until way later in their reading experiences they consenqtly projected whatever they wanted onto Gwen.

She became everyone’s idealized waifu precisely because she was such a blank slate in their minds.

Then in later decades when people tried to retroactively pretend Gwen had a better personality than she actually did she became the ‘scientist’ and because people are apparently shallow and employ the same assbackwards logic that dictated that Superman and Wonder Woman would be perfect for one another or that Spider-Man and ,insert ANY costumed hero character> would be a good match, they decided that Gwen being a scientist and Peter being a scientist meant she was the best person for him and smart unlike all those other shallow Spider-girlfriends

Then more recently that’s morphed into either pretending that Spider-Gwen represents the untapped potential Gwen could have had in life*or that it was some grand sexist miscarriage of justice that she was killed off.

And as much as we can say the specific WAY Gwen died (unconscious all the way) the facts are:

a) Fridging women wasn’t a thing back then. It had rarely if ever happened in superhero fiction so it wasn’t a toxic trope

b) Gwen’s death allowed for the development of MULTIPLE characters not just Peter, including Mary Jane.

c) Killing Gwen INCREASED female representation within Spider-Man in the long and short term by allowing MJ (a better character all round who in the consequent issues was presented as explicitly into Women’s Lib) to become a more prominent character, led to the introduction of the far more dramatically and emotionally engaging clone of Gwen who was NOT killed off (meaning there was now an identical but improved Gwen Stacy in the Marvel universe), indirectly introduced Peter’s Landlady Mrs. Muggins and neighbour Gloria Grant (the first WoC supporting character in Spider-Man who’s continued to appear off an on to this day), and even more indirectly Spider-Girl (the longest running female solo star in Marvel history) and of course Spider-Gwen herself

However you slice it given what Gwen Stacy was when she was alive her having a cult of worship surrounding her and being a fan favourite who is frequently talked up as having been done wrong by is way more hype than is deserved by a character who was ultimately little better than Dorie Evans.

Don’t know who she was? That’s the point!

So can we all please stop bowing at the altar of Gwen and kissing her feet?

Its cool if you personally like her, but don’t big her up to be what she wasn’t or pretend she is owed something she isn’t.

*Even though the first time Marvel EVER created a spin-off or female spider themed character it was Jessica Drew and they only did it to ensure they had the rights to the name ‘Spider Woman’. Same deal with She-Hulk btw.

P.S. What’s even more ironic about all this incessant Gwen worship is that Spider-Man’s other two major girlfriends, popular as they are, often get the short end of the stick by the powers that be.
