Two Of My Most Recent Comms From @l1-b1 That Make Me ILL /pos

Luna's hero name should definitely be Aura. Not too meaningful or anything, but it's pretty and it fits her.

*blinking in awe* you've done it.

I have been trying to figure out a good hero name for her for FOREVER! How on earth did I not think of Aura?? That's literally her power! But yes, it fits her perfectly!

(May I use it? 🥺 👉👈 Like in fanfics that I'm going to write?)

so awkward that this week’s Fantastic Four had more “trial” than this weeks Trial of Magneto…

when’s Franklin going to get his pet Galactus?

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.

I am advocating for a white haired/white-blonde haired Luna Maximoff so that she looks more like Pietro.

I’ve opened up my ask box for anyone who wants to talk!!

Ahh! Thank you so much!!! :D (I will be sure to give you credit for the name though!) And you’re welcome! I’m glad I could introduce you to her! She’s definitely one of my favourite minor characters too!  I’m hoping to make more posts for this blog soon. I had previously been so busy with school, but now I have a lot more free time in the afternoons.

Great upcoming FF cover by Terry Dodson!

Ahura Boltagon has zero chill and I love him. He and Luna just gossip about the Inhumans and how Medusa and Black Bolt are terrible parents. Also, they’re empathy buddies, so just them looking at each other in Inhuman court meetings like, “the vibes in this room...they ain’t good, cuz.” 

I’m going to have to start the Ahura & Luna Empathic Cousins with Terrible Mothers fandom aren’t I? Them just being like, “Yo, when our parents die, we are going to make a great team. You will be my right hand woman. It’ll be great and we root out all the lying nobles and it’ll be incredible.”
