current Maximoff pet theory

Everyone knows the retcon is stupid. So let’s explain it away!

Why cut the Maximoffs off from Krakoa? Because little Luna Maximoff knows when someone is being mind-controlled and shows possible signs of precognition. (I think that was just everyone forgetting what her powers are/how they work, but I’m willing to go with it.) Let her visit even once, and the jig is up.

This could’ve been solved by manipulating things so that Luna appears to be someone else’s daughter, but that would have caused (1) Pietro to immediately flip his shit, (2) Wanda to immediately flip her shit, and (3) Medusa to immediately flip her shit, and (4) a paternity test, which would have revealed the manipulation.

So, really, manipulating things so that Wanda and Pietro appear to not be Magneto’s kids was the easier way to keep Luna and her powers away from Krakoa.

Who’s doing the manipulating? Not Magneto. Xavier doesn’t have that kind of power on his own, but he has telepathy and zero qualms about using said telepathy to fuck with/up anybody he pleases. (War hero and king of a sovereign nation Namor. Magneto. His own students. Himself. Every woman he’s ever dated, apparently.  And so on.)

So my current pet theory is that, in the original timeline, the retcon didn’t happen, Luna visited Aunt Lorna on Krakoa and said, “Hey, there’s mind control spores in everyone’s brains?!” and started fighting spores, alerted her dad and other heroes, and that was the end of Krakoa. It took like an hour.

Xavier and Moira hated that. Xavier and Moira put together a small team of mutants including someone with time travel powers, someone with heavy-duty reality-warping or manipulation powers, and someone to troubleshoot whatever fuckups the first two might cause, and then sent them back in time to prevent Luna Maximoff from ever visiting Krakoa. Thus, the retcon.

Fabian Cortez just wants to be ANYONE'S nemesis and NOBODY wants him and it is the FUNNIEST thing and it will be funny until THE DAY I DIE. He's ridiculous and I love him.

Quicksilver when picking a nemesis:

After reading the "Layla Miller is Luna Maximoff" stuff I went and looked at her Wiki article to re-familiarize myself with the character and found this bit: "During the Superhero Civil War, Quicksilver makes repeated attempts to enter X-Factor Investigations Headquarters. Each time, he is thwarted by Layla, whom Quicksilver comes to consider his nemesis." FABIAN IS SCREAMING! PIETRO ACKNOWLEDGES THE *TEEN GIRL* AS HIS NEMESIS BUT NOT HIM?! THE OUTRAGE!! XD

Yes, but she *might* be his magically-created substitute daughter from an alternate reality, so accepting her as his nemesis is a really Magneto-like thing  for Pietro to do. Cortez should be thrilled! Finally, Quicksilver is on the path to true love villainy. He’ll probably need a scheming advisor for that, right? Perhaps some dashing fellow with fabulous hair and a cape? :D

Okay, I know this is Sailor Moon, but sometimes this is how I picture Luna Maximoff?? The colours and the outfit are so her.

Also she canonically likes shojo anime [FF (2013) #12] so there's no way she's not a Sailor Moon fan

Moon Crystal Power, Make Up!

oh how Deeply I love this wee silly rarepair oh

I like to imagine that Luna and the twins have arguments about who's really the older one AKA who should be in charge when they hang out

the fact that Luna Maximoff was literally born before Billy and Tommy but bc of the retro-reincarnation* the twins are full grown adults and Luna is still a middle-schooler.

*nobody in the mid-2000s was playing close enough attention to the timeline, also because Luna is the Franklin Richards of Atillan and will never age.

This one tiktoker I follow is a huge F4 fan and for "favorite rivalry" they put pictures of Franklin and Slott and when I tell you I screamed

Franklin @ Slott like:

every day I wake up and I want to design Luna Maximoff a superhero costume but every day I wake up and I CAN'T DRAW

Oh, I like that! In my personal headcanon/fanfic storyline I have for Luna, since she's with Franklin, she becomes part of the Fantastic Four, so my preference is for her to go with blue. (it's not the same shade of blue, but still, you could have some light blue parts on her FF costume that harken to her magic or inhuman background). Even if she ever does get noticed by Marvel's writing team, I doubt she'd ever actually join the FF in the actual comics canon because Marvel will never get rid of the original Fantastic Four lol

And for my Fantastic Four Luna, I do think having her learn magic would be interesting too because it would kinda parallel her with Doctor Doom and of course you'd also get that science/magic tension with Valeria.

every day I wake up and I want to design Luna Maximoff a superhero costume but every day I wake up and I CAN'T DRAW

Ooo, I like this! Having her use her dad's colours would be a nice touch! (though is she going the blue costume Quicksilver route or the green costume Quicksilver route?)

And either way she goes, Avenger or Scarlet Title Holder, I would just be happy if they used her at all *agony*

Everyone say thank you to Steve Orlando for giving us our once yearly Luna Maximoff appearance 🥰

That's a good point, they are more of a science based society.

Ohhh I didn't even think of that! I always forget about Agatha being Franklin's nanny, but that would be a fun direction to go in if they don't give Franklin his god powers back! (And of course I'll take anything that gives Franklin and Luna something in common lol)

Wanda Maximoff & Luna Maximoff.

I need more Aunty Wanda hanging out with Luna in my life, and if Marvel themselves won't deliver, I'll commission the wonderful @l1-b1 to depict them. I totally recommend checking out their art and getting some of your own! 🌹

MCU & X-MCU FANS DNI.

i got this AMAZING comm from @doradeluna that i'm absolutely obsessing over. there needs to be more content of pietro and luna

That is an interesting idea. Honestly I've wondered about Luna taking up magic, but maybe there's a special kind of Inhuman magic that she can tap into? I don't know, but I think it would be cool to see her empathy powers working with magic.

THERE WAS NEW LUNA CONTENT AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT

Wanda with her niece, Luna Maximoff

if you know you know

sounds familiar…

That is an adorable shirt

Not gonna lie, I was pretty upset about Franklin’s hair being changed to black permanently. He will always be golden haired to me.

There is a non-zero chance that the Slott run’s only lasting contribution is that Franklin has dark hair now

Slott run dying as it lived: Being so pointless that it erases any lasting impact it may have had

when’s Franklin going to get his pet Galactus?

im so mad about this i want to perform an autopsy on dan slott while hes alive i hate him so much

thank you to @theunstablejester, @bisexualwolverines, and @avengerphobic​  for making me laugh and also being 100% correct

interesting that this little plot point has popped back up…

I am a big subscriber to the “Charles and Erik took that knowledge from Reed and used it for themselves to mask Franklin’s X-Gene and manipulate him into thinking he’s not actually a mutant because he was a threat to them” theory, so this is very interesting indeed…

I hope we see this brought up again soon. And of course I hope that Franklin is still a mutant because it’s really stupid that he’s not and takes away from his character :)

Have I ever told y’all how I started ironically shipping Johnny Storm and Lorna Dane because they were the cool uncle and cool aunt to Franklin Richards and Luna Maximoff respectively? And have I ever told you how at some point it became completely unironic and I can’t stop? 

As far as I know, they’ve never spoken. They have no canon dynamic, but I imagine it to be a very fun vibe since they’re both very cool people. 

reblog and put in the tags your rarest pairing, their canon dynamic (if they’ve ever interacted), and what it is about them that makes you ship them
