So along with ToaM I have two wips that I'm working on. The first is basically easy because its more after the After rather than During which gives me heaps of creative freedom.
The second one though is really annoying me so I've been searching and I've realised that fundamentally the way I read a lot of Spiderman fics and particularly the way I see Peter & Tony fics written, tend to fall into an area i consider to be overly invasive and creepy (and thats not even considering both the age dynamic, the power dynamic of Tony being significantly more famous and higher on the socioeconomic ladder)
but at the same time, I don't want to portray Tony as a predator who takes advantage of a young teenager and blackmails them into lying about the true nature of their relationship and taking advantage of the fact that this young teenager clearly idolises them and would walk off the face of the earth for them.
Added context is important when we discuss these subject matters and it's definitely something I'm thinking of every time I work of ToaM (since Harry is 11rn and a vulnerable person) but theres also a point where added context leads to jumping to conclusions or even not seeing the whole picture.
I feel as though I work a lot with self reflection and what the characters are seeing verses that they are saying. I've never been good at 'Show Don't Tell' as a result. I'm also aware that the way I write probably shows a lack of being able to connect with my readers or hold a line of conversation. (although I blame the tism on that one)
So (although i doubt anyone would read this anyhow) whats your opinion of the way Peter and Tonys relationship is handled by the fandom? Are there any aspects of their relationship (or arguably lack thereof) that you would like me to experiment with.
#I see a lot of things were Tony monitor Peters heartbeat and records all of his time in the suit#then records all of his data and tracks his location#and while i don't necessarily disagree with a location tracker or even a device that records what Peter is seeing#I don't think that info should be in Tonys hands. Its very much so data that Peter needs to be in control of#it just comes across as very untrusting and invasive for one man in a position of power to be in control of#Peter needs to be able to work on his one#relying on the fact that he has a crutch he can use if he genuinely feels as though he needs it#but it should be up to him to make that call not his heartbeat going fast for 20seconds not his body temp changing rapidly#Tony having full access to Peters body when he's in the suit creates a power dynamic where Tony has full access to Peter#but Peter has no access to support or training from Tony#mind you the only time Tony shows up in homecoming is to tell Peter he can't handle it#SO WHAT YOU ARE HIS MENTOR TELL HIM WHAT HES DOING WRONG AND HOW TO FIX IT#Tough Love rarely helps and in Peters case he had to feel totally alone and basically give up on Tony until he was able to move forward
