" Happy Birthday, Little Johnny! May your life only become happier and there will be more fans. "

Peter tries to never talk about his dating life with Tony, not directly anyway.

Tony’s chalked it up to the kid being way too embarrassed. The minute he tries to bring up that MJ girl, Peter flushes a bright pink and stumbles over his words for the next hour. It’s seriously detrimental to their productivity in the lab, he decides.

Plus, he’s never been one for dating advice. He’s lucky Pepper even gave him a second glance after the bullshit he’s put her through. So, he was happy to leave it alone. He lets Peter bring it up naturally in between rants of Star Wars and Spider-Man.

He doesn’t nag the kid. And he almost expects it when Peter eventually brings up going on highschool sweetheart dates with MJ (even if they are to horror movies or death museums…)

His questions start when Peter starts to bring up Ned.

It’s offhanded, and Tony doesn’t pry, but he doesnt miss when Peter calls Ned his boyfriend or the way he flushes the same pink when he talks about them building legos together. Even if just yesterday he had spoken about holding hands with MJ like it was their wedding.

He knew the kid looked up to him. That much Peter couldn’t hide. And Tony had always had a nagging fear in the back of his mind, imagining Peter actually becoming like him. He knew that was a risk when he’d taken the little spider under his mentorship. Now, his greatest fears have come true.

Peter Parker, the playboy.

It, honestly, sends a shiver down his spine.

He reaches his limit when Peter shows up for lab day on Friday, as per usual, gushing about MJ and Ned at the same time. Like nothing is out of the ordinary. Even as Tony looks him up and down, like he’s just grown an extra head.

“What?” Is all Peter says as he quirks his head to the side. His backpack sliding off his shoulder slightly and his shoes untied. Nothing out of the oridnary. Tony bites down on the inside of his cheek. Gods, where is May when he needs to have these ‘talks’?

“Listen kid… You know I was young and dumb, right? You were one of those, err, fanboys or whatever.”

Peter cringes. “I was eight-“ Tony cuts him off with a wave of his hand.

“You made a whole helmet. It was cute. Whatever. My point is— I was dumb. You’re not. You’re smart. Probably the smartest kid I know. And you’ve got a future ahead of you.”

“I hope so?” Peter quips. Tony just sighs. Don’t get distracted.

“You just said MJ was your girlfriend.” He crosses his arms, raising a skeptical eyebrow.

Peter blinks. “Uh… Yeah?”

“Then, not even five seconds later, said you went on a date with Ned. Hate to break it to you kid, but I’m pretty sure that’s, uh… That’s cheating.” He points out with a frown. Peter stands there, unmoving.

In slow motion, Tony watches the kid go from a small smile to genuinely doubling over in laughter, holding his sides and hiccuping. It takes another moment for Peter to catch his breath, standing upright again, still giggling slightly.

“Mr. Stark, I’m not cheating.” He explains, shifting on his feet with a sheepish grin. “We’re polyamorous.”

Now, it’s Tony’s turn to blink, unmoving. Peter can practically see the gears turning in his head. He’s sure if he doesn’t step in soon, a literal 404 error screen will pop up on his mentors forehead. Peter takes a breath and continues.

“We— We’re all dating each other. And we’re all okay with it. It’s not a secret or anything. I promise.”

There’s a long pause of silence as Tony processes Peter’s additional words. Thankfully, there’s no reboot necessary.

“So… You all know,” He finally speaks up. Peter nods. “And you’re all… happy?” Tony asks, a little more hesitantly.

Peter smiles fondly, clearly thinking of the two he had just spoken to a few hours prior. “Yeah. Yeah, we’re all really happy.”

“Huh.” And just like that, Tony shrugs. “Well, next time maybe just give me a heads-up in the ‘partner department’, yeah? Pepper would’ve killed me if you invited both Ned and MJ to dinner and we didn’t set an extra seat.”

Peter’s face lights up, his shoulders slumping slightly in relief. He nods with a genuine smile and the two move on. In a second, Peter is back to ranting about the latest soap drama he and May had binged over the week while he was gone.

That’s all he needed, really. His kid was safe and happy. Sure— Once Peter had left, Tony had spent at least three extra hours in the lab, googling and reading wikipedia. But, ultimately, it was worth it.

Peter Parker was worth it.

Thinking of an AU where Vortex lives and Johnny makes good on that promise to beat his ass on live television.

Liu Zheng’s wife was part of the previous generation of hunters before dying, so he’s been training Queen as best he can to be a hunter. He still finds Cyan after the plane crash, but notices she has patterns and realizes this means she’s part demon, so he’s even more motivated to keep her hidden and still gives her to the Dean-who unbeknownst to him made a deal with Gwi-Ma like Jinu to try to save his hero career.

It prolonged things for a little while, but he still ended up retiring. He would’ve been dragged down to the underworld already if it weren’t for Cyan being dropped on him. The whole Maiden of fortune cult deal was a ploy to send souls to Gwi-Ma, but Lou throws a wrench in things the same way he does in canon.

Unfortunately their escape attempt goes as well as it did in canon and Lou is still left behind. The Dean handles Lou a little differently after but that’s for later. After leaving Cyan still does her homeless musician shtick, but Liu Zheng notices her much sooner because of what’s been going on with Queen and DOS.

See, they’ve been trying to push Queen and Bowa as a duo a lot harder this time around, with the end goal of the two of them joining up with a 3rd female hero to form the new Hunter generation fully, but the tension and competition between then is too tense, and actually a bit worse then canon as Mickey is even more insistent on Liu Zheng’s behalf.

The ships sinks with Bowa becoming X same as canon when things betwnee them boils over into an unfriendly rivalry. Fortunately, Johnny enters the picture here, and when he and Cyan both worm their way into Queen’s life, Liu Zhang sees the new hunter trio forming right before his very eyes. Up until now, Queen has been doing token maintenance on the Honmoon on her own just barely keeping it stable, but now she’s finally got the support she needs.

Their debut as a trio happens at one of Cyan’s concerts where the 3 perform together as a surprise, and fans. Absolutely. Love it. All three of their trust values skyrocket and they get catapulted back into the top 10. Though Johnny and Cyan don’t actually realize what they signed up for till a few weeks later they’re individually attacked by demons, which makes Zhang sit the two of them down with Queen and explain. Cyan is quietly determined to support her friend, and Johnny is absolutely ecstatic to finally be doing real hero work instead of just being the world’s most marketable plushy.

Idk what their group name would be but I’m tentatively calling them CQJ in my head, unless someone else has got a better idea :D

Mmm, To be Hero X/K-Pop Demon hunters AU

Been trawling the notes for an hour and cannot find a single reblog that does not lead back to this post. I’m watching the train wreck in real time.

“hes a woman to me” IS HE? or are you equating women with submissive character traits you've arbitrarily put on a random man

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

Cyan, Johnny, and Queen weren’t a trio I knew I needed till I had them.

To Be Hero X but it’s DC.

Imagine a universe where:

Superheroes don’t just get stronger by training. They also grow in power based on the public’s belief in them. The more people trust them, admire them, believe in them as heroes, the stronger they become.

Obviously, Superman thrives. He was already a powerhouse, but the belief in him as a literal symbol of hope makes him even more godlike.

Batman, on the other hand, has always worked in the shadows. And while Gotham loves him in theory, they fear him in equal measure. His power has flatlined, never moving higher or lower due to this.

Something changes one day, but it's not from Gothamites suddenly changing their mind about loving the bat.

It's Clark.

Private belief matters too. Deep unshakeable faith counts for a lot and Clark, a god in his own right, has always believed in, trusted and admired Bruce and now maybe even loves him...

That realization causes a spike in Batman's power which of course shocks the league.

They aren't sure what causes the spike but Bruce is hell bent on finding out.

All the while Bruce is struggling with this surge of power. He doesn't want to be worshipped. He doesn't want to be seen as something else.

Belief can turn a hero into a god...but what kind of god doesn't believe in himself?

ok but now i’m imagining alll of the JL has a separate spot for “Dick Grayson!!!” in their minds. like that’s their collective baby. before any of them had their own protégés, they had Dick. i’d love to see something where the titans +batfam have to go through each of the JL founders minds and they’re just like “??? wtf??” even Hal Jordan has a little place in his mind for Dick, even it’s more demonic looking than all the others.

I’m just imagining the aftermath, with Hal Jordan insisting, “I don’t like you!! You’re a pain in the ass!! This is character assassination!!”

Dick, smiling so smugly, leaning forward on his toes with his hands clasped behind his back, “are you sure? Are you sure you don’t like me just a little bit?”

“You’re a demonic little shit and I can’t stand you!” Hal insists, but his voice cracks. Dick’s smirk widens.

The Dick Grayson box in Hal’s mind was dark red and rattling. It sounded like something inside was snarling, barking, fighting to get out. When they opened it, they saw a freaky version of Robin!Dick with sharp teeth, red glowing eyes, clawed gloves, and an evil grin on his face. He had a trail of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Most of the memories inside the box include Dick biting either Hal or someone else. But they also included a lot of Hal laughing at the misery of others when Robin was set loose on them. Of Hal conspiring with a teeny tiny Robin to commit atrocities against the other members of the JL. Of Hal giving him a lollipop and a pat on the head and then siccing him on someone like a poor unsuspecting Barry.

“You liiiiike me,” Dick teases him.

“You’re horrible and scary and you’re Spooky’s worst little demon brat!” Hal continues insisting.

After ten minutes of consistent needling from Dick, Hal is damn near in tears as he pats Dick’s head, muttering, “God it was so funny watching you terrorize everyone else, you were so tiny and creepy and then you’d giggle and do a backflip and it was fucking hilarious.”

Dick is so smug about it for months.
