I love fics where Peter is actually a little shit cause most writers write him as a sweet cinnamon roll. And sure he is that when it comes to morals, but have you guys met a 14 year old? I am the oldest sibling and i promise you I have met every version of a shithead teenager under the fucking sun. And yes ALL of them are shitheads who WILL lie if they think it's funny or just for the kicks of it to any and all authority figures (i still do it and I'm 16)

In response to the Bernie's fic

he really gets the sweet summer child treatment in fandom and it really shows that a lot of fic writers have never spent extended time with a teenager in their life. like, i was a math tutor for a while, and like. a teenager myself for a FEW years, and you will NOT find a demographic more down to commit felonies for shits and giggles. i can't even say that he reads like a much younger kid, because honestly, fandom peter doesn't really read like a real person at all to me. like, he's insane. he's a good person. but he is insane. this is fundamental to him.

#there are few core traits of peter #he is good #he is principled #he is clinically insane #he has a pathological attachment to committing to the fucking bit #you do not go your entire life in a spider-themed onesie and not rebrand if you are not committed to the bit #fandom peter is honestly weird to me #he's like. so babified.#like i know everyone wants him to have more and more father figures but you are not going to find a teenager alive who is willing to start #calling a guy they just met dad and start hugging him and all that jazz #it's honestly baffling #like fandom peter simply could not cut it on the streets i am sorry to say #there are some absolute golden fics that profoundly understand peter and the authors are stars and the fics are god tier #but a lot of fandom spiderman stuff is disappointing because he's sort of infantilized and not given many characteristics past loving tony #and like don't get me wrong you can absolutely have a close relationship with peter and tony #but a lot of them are like. borderline unhealthy levels of hero worship #like he is spider-man for a reason and that reason is he was willing to fling his own human body off a fucking building for the aesthetic #i love my peters that are worrisome forces of chaos #if an adult does not age 1000 years after knowing him a day #then he is not chaotic enough
