You know the comic strip

idk like its easy to have another charming (usually white) rebel without a cause who stirs the pot for shits and giggles with a smug grin on his face to match his devil may care attitude, that the kind and humble protag shrugs off in his quest to seek approval from authority. but then instead we get teens from marginalized identities looking up to a young black man who challenges them to think about their actions carefully and question what they know, who jokes about things that other people would politely grimace at in response to, who makes adults uncomfortable. i can think of some people in my life like him—those older kids whom i was told were troublemakers, whom adults told me to ignore, to be scared of, to reject, yet were the ones who gave me wisdom and whom i ended up looking up to and whom i bitched about colony and homophobia and fascism with.

Because Jessica allowed Gwen to make mistakes. She guided her, but she wasn't going to hold her hand. She told her what she needed to do, she'd check in on her, but she trusted Gwen to be honest. She's so much more hands off of Gwen because she deadass be treating her like an adult which is funny cause thats what black moms be doing

Jessica absolutely seems like the type to be like 'you asked for this so i'm not gonna treat you any different because i trust you handle ur shit' - that's why she doesn't go around calling Gwen 'kid' like Peter does.

Gwen isn't her little friend Gwen is Jessica's trainee. She treating her like that because Miguel isn't gonna treat her like a friend either.

Eventually Gwen's not gonna answer to Jessica - she's gonna answer to Miguel and Gwen had to be ready for that because if you're not ready for Jessica's 'attitude' and leadership then you're NOT ready Miguel's genuine anger and irritation she's deadass prepping Gwen to work for Miguel thats her job fjkgksfdgh

She calls herself the 'surly' neighborhood Spider-Woman! She wants a good world for her kid and goes out of her way to go to the universes' best hospital in childcare! Jessica having a child while still being a superhero was such a big thing! She physically fights off hoards of bad guys after giving birth! She's badass as fuck!! NOT TO MENTION! That Jessica's baby in comic is from a sperm donor, and that Jessica has NO desire to learn the donor. She hates that people assume she must have slept with someone to 'end up' with a kid!! But doesn't let that force her to divulge her personal business!

Jessica Drew deserves so many readers!! Especially the comics that are written and illustrated by women!!!
