#My boy is HEALING

[icarusredwings]

Thinking about the storyline when Wade's face heals itself only after he proves himself as a good person to Spiderman, being only worthy of looking "normal" when he stops killing and takes peters lead on helping the community rather then focusing on killing big guys all over the place. To find a home by dedicating himself to the neighborhood, etc.

It's been years since their time in the void. They've been married for years. They both are happy with their lives, having worked through a lot of struggles, having a lot of fights, and winning tons of battles together. So now, here they are, living in the mansion and using their lives to take care of the kids, having raised about 60 already together with their individual classes. Overall? Things are good.

And one day, when Logan comes to their shared quarters and finds his 55 year old husband napping (because that's what 55 year olds do, Duh) but he gets a bit spooked.

He looks so.. different. But not. For a split second, he wonders who's in his bed. It wouldnt be a first time that one of the kids crawled into their bed to nap, esspecially Leo*, who snuck off anywhere to find a good place to sleep, including random beds he found, no matter who's. Hell, they probably should get him checked for narcolepsy-

But he does that thing that dogs do, jumping back just slightly only to lean closer, scrunching his nose as he sniffs him. Yeah.... that was Wade, alright. But it didn't look like how he remembered leaving him for his morning classes.

His head tilts, subconsiously sniffing more as he leans over, wanting to be extra sure. He didn't smell quite right. Yes, It was wade, but.. something was off. He still smelled like death just- not as much. And he could smell that his T cell count was up. Logan didn't need any allegations about sleeping with students.

"Wade?" He whispers, pulling his shoulder over to make him lay on his back.

He wasn't completely healed, but only a couple of scars were left on his face, a bit of blonde poking through at the top.

"Wade." Logan shakes him softly, enough for those blue eyes to flutter open. It makes Logan sit back on his knees, feeling a soft growl trying to rise out of his throat, but he quickly swallows it back down. He still has a bit of jaundice, but other than that? He's looking good. He's still a little underweight, but overall? He looked fine. Healthy even.

"I don't have any night classes, peanut." He mutters to him, rolling onto his side to face him as he curls back up, trying to go back to sleep.

Carefully, Logan lays next to him, staring at him, looking over his new features, comparing them to the old ones in his head. He hasn't seen him like this in... god, so long. So, so long. He wasn't even sure how many years ago that was. But that Wade was dead. And looked so much younger. Though something inside of him liked the age on this one's face. It wasn't much, but he didn't look like a scrappy 20 year old like back then. No.. this one was wiser. More hurt. The texture was different. He looked perhaps 35 at most. Someone who had kids and a mortgage.

Logan blinked a couple of times, wondering if this was a dream. If this was all fake. Hesitantly, he puts a hand out, feeling his face. At first, he wanted to pull away, not used to the softness, but he nuzzled into it the same way, opening his eyes just enough to smile at him with that same stupid lopsided grin.

Before this, part of him would feel like he was cheating with an odd doppelganger but this smile sealed it. He would have to get used to those bright blue's but he didn't care. He was estatic.

Pulling him close, Logan held him tight, burrying his face into his neck, smiling like an idiot. Wade was healing. He was getting better(!)

The small giggle coming from him made it all worthwhile, too, the rubs on his back the same, the chuckles the same, the way his body fit into his identical. Nuzzling into him, a different type of growl rings through the semi messy room, rubbing his chops all over him with a proud purr.

What if Charles never liked Christmas because it always just meant more time with family, and thus his asshole father, so Edwin loving the holidays and going all out to make it feel special and warm completely changed Charles’ perspective on it and he learned that it can actually be nice so now they both love it 😭😭

The Dark Side of ‘Boys Will Be Boys’

I still remember sitting in the principal’s office, knees scraped and uniform dirty, trying not to cry while explaining why I pushed Tommy back on the playground. For weeks, he’d been pulling my hair, chasing me during recess, and ruining my art projects. That day, he’d grabbed my favorite hair ribbon and thrown it in a puddle.

The principal’s response? A warm smile and those words I’ll never forget: “Oh sweetie, he’s only mean because he likes you! Boys don’t know how to show their feelings at this age.”

I was six. That was my first lesson that my discomfort was less important than a boy’s feelings.

And before anyone jumps in with “boys will be boys” or “it’s not that serious” — let me tell you how that lesson played out over the years.

By fourth grade, I stopped telling teachers when boys would snap my bra strap because I was tired of hearing “that means they think you’re pretty!” I learned to be flattered by harassment before I even knew what harassment was.

In middle school, when Jake wouldn’t stop following me between classes and grabbing my backpack, my own mom said, “He probably just doesn’t know how to tell you he has a crush!” So I stopped mentioning it, even when it escalated to him “accidentally” running into me at my locker every day.

“But they’re just boys!” people say. “Stop making everything so serious!”

Okay, let’s talk about how “just boys” grow up.

That same Jake who learned his harassment was “just showing affection”? By high school, he was the guy who wouldn’t take no for an answer at parties. But hey, he “just liked me,” right?

Tommy from first grade? Last I heard, he had multiple harassment complaints at his college. But I bet someone’s still saying “boys will be boys!”

And me? I spent years unlearning the idea that love is supposed to hurt. Years figuring out that someone making me uncomfortable isn’t a compliment. Years understanding that my instincts were right all along — I wasn’t being “too sensitive,” he wasn’t being “sweet,” it wasn’t “just a crush.”

To everyone saying “it’s not that deep” or “stop overthinking” — you’re part of the problem. Because while you’re dismissing these “little” incidents, girls are learning lessons that follow them into adulthood:

When my first boyfriend threw my phone because he was “passionate?” I heard: “He’s only mean because he likes you!”

When my college classmate wouldn’t stop asking me out after ten nos? I remembered: “He just doesn’t know how to show his feelings!”

These aren’t separate issues. They’re the same lesson playing out over years.

We’re teaching girls that love looks like discomfort.

That harassment means attraction.

That their boundaries matter less than boys’ feelings.

That being hurt means being loved.

And to those saying “not all boys are like that” — you’re missing the point. It’s not about all boys. It’s about what we teach ALL girls about what they should accept.

Because that six-year-old girl with scraped knees grew up to be a woman who had to relearn what love actually looks like. Who had to realize that real love doesn’t pull your hair, push you down, or make you cry.

So no, it’s not “just boys being boys.”

It’s not “making a big deal out of nothing.”

It’s not “too serious.”

It’s the first chapter in a book too many girls have to unwrite later.

And maybe if we stopped telling little girls that harassment means love, we’d have fewer women trying to convince themselves that abuse means passion.

Shana, your tags on this post ...I need to know more! What exactly was the plan for Supernatural season 3 if it hasn't been for the writer's strike??? And how haven't I heard about this already?? I need the deets!

i'm so glad you asked :)

the original plan for season 3 was for sam to descend into using his demon powers to get dean out of the deal, and for dean to never go to hell. then the writers strike happened, the season got cut from 22 eps to 16, with only 4 after the strike, and that wasn't enough time to establish sam's spiral and powers, so changed the ending. it's on the wiki and there are some articles around about it

this was, in my opinion, the worst fucking decision they could make

it ruined the characters in a lot of ways and really unbalanced everything in a way the show never recovered from

the thing is that this arc is so well set up!

literally at the end of season 2 we get

"You're my big brother, there's nothing I wouldn't do for you. And I don't care, I'm going to get you out of this. I'm going to save your ass for a change."

sam has evaded azazel's every attempt to corrupt him. his shitty home life, all the demons he's exposed sam to, killing jessica, taking away his father, putting him in a literal life or death hunger games scenario. each time sam refuses to play ball

(sam's incorruptibility is what makes him qualified to be king of hell, but that's a different post)

he's the moral compass between him and dean. always has been. there is nothing in sam's messed up, twisted life that has pushed him pass mercy

but dean could do it. there's nothing sam wouldn't do for his big brother

john told dean that he had to either save sam or kill him. except he's never needed to save sam, because it's literally always sam making the measured, compassionate, merciful call. he's the one holding dean back, not the other way around

and sam straining towards darkness for the first time, for dean, would kill him. we'll come back to this

mystery spot, as an episode, is actually pointless if the plan was for dean to go to hell. because sam's sneak peek into what his life is like after dean doesn't do anything. i love this ep, but it's narratively pointless now

however

with the og plan, mystery spot is the turning point. it not only tells sam how miserable he'll be after dean is gone, but it also establishes what he's willing to do to get him back - pretty much anything. it's not theoretical pain, it's not theoretical grief. mystery spot is the thing that pushes sam towards being hard, away from the moral sweetness he's embodied for the past two and half seasons.

the next ep, jus in bello, shows this. sam is considering doing the terrible thing. he's now capable of considering the terrible thing in a way he wasn't before mystery spot. this is when his descent starts, when sam decides he's willing to trade his humanity for his brother's life

and then the writer's strike happened

right when it's getting good, right when sam's arc is ramping up, we lose it. and instead of picking it back up, pushing dean's deal to next season and giving it the weight it deserves, they say fuck it, and send dean to hell

but this fucks it all up. we have sam's "descent" with ruby and demon blood. except not really because he's not even hurting anyone. and dean's back, but not because of sam. sam didn't save him

this fucks it all up

because deans anger and fear and desire to save sam should have been tempered with the knowledge that he did that to save dean's life. that once more someone dean loves has made a terrible sacrifice for him, which he can't stand, which he hates. he has the self esteem of a gnat and the best people he knows keep destroying themselves for his benefit

i think the og build up was sam strengthening his powers to kill lilith, doing it, and then releasing lucifer at the end of s3. sam unwittingly starting the apocolypse to save his brother (does he regret it, dean wonders. it would be easier if he did)

and now everything is shit and dean's drowning but here and his brother has turned himself into something that's not unlike the kid dean loves so much it almost killed him, but not exactly the same. and now he understands john, because this is the sam that dean has to either save or kill, except he could never kill him. he loves him (and how can he kill sam for doing this when it's dean's fault, when dean made the deal that doomed his brother when all he wanted was to save him)

this is the flip that the show has been building towards. dean having to be the moral center for his brother for once. dean being the one saved. dean finally having to face his father's words and deciding once and for all if he's john's son or sam's brother

but instead dean goes to hell. and he's no one moral's center. because he broke in hell, he tortured people and he enjoyed it. they ruined dean with this. because instead of fighting and growing from his violence, they push him into it, and then they call him a righteous man. dean was the one harming people, he's the one that descended into darkness, not sam. sam and his demon blood had still only been trying to good, and in the end did do good, far more than anything dean did in hell, or has done since. his moral outrage, his anger, his disgust towards sam isn't only wildly out of character, it's hypocritical as hell. sam remains the moral, compassionate one, even through this. it never slides to dean. neither of them are really forced to grow or change, only to become twisted into each other in ways that hurt them both

this should have been the story of what sam would do to save his brother (anything) and what dean would do to save his brother (anything)

they should have saved each other
