Description Yeah, the title sucks, but I haven't been to sleep yet and the original of this is 1530 pixels tall. I had to slack somewhere.


Anywho, in honor of today being the release date for the trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (and to ease my devastation at Turn Off the Dark leaving Broadway), I give you cisswapped Spidey and MJ. Who is not in the movie. Based on a promotional pic from the original Raimi film series. ... Hey, remember when Mary Jane was going to be in the new movie? ... Because I do. I REMEMBER, MARC WEBB!  


Anywho, this is Pietra Parker and Matthew James Watson of my hypothetical ciswapped universe Marvel-919 . It occurred to me that I haven't drawn these two in any "coupley" pictures, and seeing how Peter and MJ are one of my many OTPs (wait, isn't that an oxymoron?) I felt the need to rectify that. But I was also too lazy to think up a pose, so here we are. 


FUN FACT: You can tell anytime a Spider-Woman 919 picture is based on something from the Raimi Trilogy by the gray webbing pattern I usually use black. In case you can't tell by the relative locations of their pelvises, Pietra is not taller than MJ, just holding him up low.


MJ's torso's not freakishly long; he's just wearing a long jacket. A jacket much like these . Obviously it's a response to Mary Jane's red cheongsam dress as seen in the photo and the film. FUN FACT: My mother thought the dragons were question marks on first inspection and asked if he was wearing "a Riddler costume." ANOTHER FUN FACT: The circles on his jacket have the character for "spider" in them.


It's a rough time to be a Peter/MJ shipper, you guys. In light of that fact, I'm not saying I'll be drawing these two more ... but I'll probably be drawing these two more.


PS: I am actually really tickled at how close I managed to make the background to the original picture's.

Weird (girl who has to save boy on a regular basis?) but cute couple. I wonder how genderbending those two would affect plot in general. If only somebody wrote a fic about them...

I don't think it's that weird. Wonder Woman had Steve Trevor, after all. And honestly I've started a little something. Hopefully I'll manage to get far enough to see some real plot shaking.

Ok, but it is still more of an exception) Anyway, they look good together, as I said.
So what exactly have you started?

Oh, there's no disputing that it's uncommon, it's just not unheard of. Regardless, I'm glad you think they're a cute couple. I'm always glad to amuse someone beside myself.


Mostly I'm in origin story territory so far: introducing the supporting cast, leading up to The Bite, things like that.

^__^ Hope to see more genderbending fanart in future.
Nice to hear. Will you post your story here or on fanfiction.net?

Don't worry about it, it's definitely on the menu. The story, if I can ever get back to it (college, man), will likely go on ff.net and possibly AO3. I might post it here if there's a demand.

Not exactly. I've just been lurking a lot. Funny enough, I've actually been working with these specific characters a lot lately per encouragement from some friends at University that seem very excited by the idea of Pietra and Peter accidentally ending up in each other's realities and Pietra teaming up with 616 Deadpool to get Peter's marriage back from Mephisto.

Hanging around?
Sounds fun so you are planning to continue?

I do. The problem is well summed up by this image . I end up just usually jumping around between the areas I have planned out and not writing the stuff in-between haha.

I think the thing that stands out most is MJ's jacket.  It's just... wow.  How did you manage to put those little dragons and circles with characters in them?  It looks amazing!


I also especially love their posing; you pulled him looking over his shoulder off very well!

MJ's jacket is the primary reason why the original file is so big (I'll show it to you sometime). I wanted to make sure I could get the text on there and draw the dragon comfortably. It's sort of like a pattern. I put four circles in a diamond around the dragon, duplicated the the layer over and over, placed them to my leisure, then fused them all into one layer for easier management.
