this is such a bittersweet moment for me that i can never interpret as fully happy. because he is loved… as spider-man. he is wanted and valued… as spider-man. none of these people are here for Peter Parker, but for his persona that provides for them. which isn't a bad thing, but peter is still so lonely in a crowd of people who “love him” on an extremely surface level.
the fact that peter saved her life & five seconds later she's saving his is not talked about enough. it's beautifully crazy how a five minute conversation where they deeply understood each other & decided to be there for the other changed so much for both of them.
