TeddyStarlight | Get Used To It | Neglected Character MAP | Part 10 [Young Avengers] @TeddyStarlight | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
give Tommy more love Marvel godDAMN IT-

*cough* ANYWAYS hi I'm so glad I got into this map, I love every Ricky Montgomery song I listen to and this one was no exception. Plus the idea to shine some light on characters that don't get it as much is just MM I love it do much, so im so glad I got the opportunity to join!!

The main idea for this part is: Tommy Shepherd is always overshadowed and envious of his twin brother, Billy Kaplan, who has the family, lover, and connection to their soul mom (Wanda Maximoff) in a way that Tommy doesn't have, and feels like he never will.

In the comics, he thankfully does gain a family in the Young Avengers, becoming close to Billy, in Wanda and David Alleyne and the rest of the X-Men, but part takes place before all of that :')
Plus it's kinda accurate to how the fandom treats them as well, even with their current smaller roles in the MCU. Everyone loves Billy (and I do too, don't get me wrong), but no one really looks twice at Tommy and that makes me Sad, he deserves love too!!!

Thanks again to Marsh for allowing me to join, and for being an amazing host!! Go check him out, his art is stunning!! youtube.com/c/BasilKats
