She sure went back quicker than I was expecting...
I'm just hoping this doesn't destroy Gwen and Em Jay's friendship, however tense and strained it might have become over the years. That said, if Em Jay can somehow control her symbiote in the end . . . maybe she can be the Earth-65 Scarlet Spider, like her costume in that Halloween issue.
The spider is always on the hunt.
Doesn't help that Maguire seems to be a fan of the original Gwen Stacy and from her comments has no fond feelings for Mary Jane. Not to mention her having EmJay write three paper thin flirting songs but then backtracking super hard when people commented on it by saying EmJay and Glory are still dating.
Could just say they broke up during Gwen's time skip. Of course we still don't know whether Gwen is into girls at all. Her only comment on EmJay's flirt song was saying 'I'm so vain I think this song is about me' without indicating whether her sex was an issue or not.
So annoying when writers let their bias for a character go that far lol.
Admitedly I don't know too much about EmJay, but from what I hear she was an annoying piece of **** who later got better, and if that's the case, Maguire made her be annoying again, for some reason.
With how EmJay has a weird crush on Gwen, I imagine the making out would be EmJay forcefully kissing Gwen lol.
If EmJay and Glory are still dating, then it's kinda hard to not have friction with EmJay cheating and Gwen knowing they're in a relationship and making out anyways, and Glory wouldn't be wrong at all for making drama.
Do we know if she's even into anything? I think there were discussions here that mentioned how Gwen only even showed platonic interests in people and never anything beyond that.
Two Symbiotes making out...a Venom and Carnage Symbiote making out...I don't know how to feel about this.
There hasn't been any hard and fast confirmation of anything. She's seemed interested in guys to some extent (she kissed Miles), but not necessarily serious or significantly and she doesn't actively pursue relationships.Do we know if she's even into anything?

I didn't even think about that, the Venom symbiote being forced into making out with its possible son (If that Carnage is gonna be kid of Gwen's Venom) on top of EmJay molesting Gwen, so congrats, you managed to make that situation I imagined even more uncomfortable .
So it's the same thing as the last time I checked.There hasn't been any hard and fast confirmation of anything. She's seemed interested in guys to some extent (she kissed Miles), but not necessarily serious or significantly and she doesn't actively pursue relationships.
Yeah. It's kind of interesting to me that there was all that hullaballo about Gwen and Miles initially for Sitting in a Tree (and their future kids actually appeared more in her comic) and Into the Spider-Verse but otherwise nobody really seems all that invested in the relationship, particularly the ones writing their solo books.
Yeah I had a post here discussing whether Gwen was aromantic given that she shows no interest in dating or relationships and the one time she dated Harry it came across more as a desperate attempt to be 'normal' than anything else. Likewise whenever people flirt with her she's either cheerfully oblivious (Kosei being the most blatant where he flirts and gives her his number and her response is 'Yes, making friends already!') or she shuts it down hard with varying degrees of disgust or annoyance. Let's not forget that both Harry and Peter were in love with her and she didn't notice until years alter. Glory even called her out on it:
If Marvel does that as an excuse to make Gwen spend more time in 616, I'll start to wonder if they'll make Gwen go through more awkward moments between her and the rest of her supporting cast (Not necessarily kissing, just something that would make her want to get away from those people), including her father, all to eventually make her have no reason to be in 65 anymore and move permanently to 616 lol.
I hope they don't do something like that, not only it'd colossally moronic, but it'd also make Gwen look like some immature dumbass who doesn't know how to handle her personal life and just pushes everyone away to not bother.
That sitting in a tree **** was always so awkward lol.
I think that whoever Gwen dates, if they ever decide to make her date anyone, it'd be better to be someone from her world, otherwise she'll just have more reasons to keep going to 616, and her world will get less and less focus, and that's meh lol.
Shutting down while sounding annoyed or disgusted does point out at her being aromantic, hell, I can see myself reacting like that if someone shows romantic interest in me and I happen to notice.
Although until Gwen herself confirms it, there could still be other interpretations of this, reacting negatively can also mean she just doesn't see that person as someone for her to date at all, which can mean she's not going to date anyone who asks, so that can mean that she'd rather find the right person and isn't gonna bother with people she's not interested, or maybe she just doesn't care about it right now, making her just not think about it, but might do so later in her life, so yeah, until she confirms in her thoughts and actually shows it, it's pretty moot.
So basically from what you say, her being aromantic is pretty likely, but it's vague enough that there are still other possibilities.
