so uh last night at like 4 am i couldnt sleep, decided to walk my dog, and came up with this bad boy. It’s a rough draft, though. um @professional-benaddict read it and told me to post it, so whatever rafni says goes. 

-Little! Peter with like everyone lmao (platonically), but main pairing is Tony x Peter. everyone is 18+ and Littles are known. but yeah, I call this “uncanonically Canon AU” because it follows canon character tropes (except Peter).

----------------

so i LOVE the doctor trope w stephen and tony to death, like probably a lil too much, but hear me out

--canon tony and the avengers with not canon (aka powerless) little peter

--im thinking how they met is before peter became classified as a little, he was smart smart. so, he still gets the internship, but a real one this time.

--hes hanging out with the other interns when he feels himself regress. he freaks and goes to hide in a bathroom or something

--he runs into (probably pepper??) someone and they help him get out of the tower because he's obviously very vulnerable

--they (pepper?) take him to the hospital to get tested and find out hes a high care little. once they find out peter freaks out because omg he cant work like this

--(pepper?) assures him that they will figure it our, but with no CG, and just for plot sake, he also is living alone at this point so they dont feel comfortable sending him home, so he stays overnight, at least, in the hospital

--(pepper?) goes to talk to tony himself about this since hes the one who chose and hired the interns. tony isnt quite sure what to do because peter is one of the best in their group

--(pepper?) suggests that he go have a one on one talk with peter and see what the boy wants to do with his future, and also meet with the doctors to see what they think is best for his future

--now, tony has met peter a few times, and the kid is pretty cool, but he never really cared about him (harsh, but canon tony is pretty reserved so yuh) so, when he goes into the hospital room to talk with him, hes mentally preparing to never see peter again

--but, when he walks in, he sees peter sat on a cot carefully coloring in an avengers coloring book, and his entire aura is different and /adorable/

--as if he wasnt already kinda done for, when peter notices he's there, he looks up, eyes blown wide and a kid-like face on full of awe

--he sits on the end of the bed and they simply stare at each other before peter finally gets the courage to ask why tony is there, stuttering through it like an adorable mess

--tony freaks out, because as good as peter is, he planned on letting peter down, but now that hes here, all he wants is to see the boy.

--instead he smooths his nervousness and easily asks about how the boy is doing. he asks if peter has a CG, and predicably, peter just sadly shakes his head

--anyways i dont really know how this part would be worded, and it probably wouldnt happen in just one day, but eventually tony asks peter if he wants tony to take care of him

--peter is a cutie and accepts, again dont really have this part planned out, im akward when it comes to writing about the adopting of a little

--he goes with tony and since he lives in the tower, he also gets the avengers as glorified CGs. now this is the part i LOVE

***added part by Rafni:

"I’d imagine that Peter would just be kept in the hospital, like he doesn’t need any meds nor saline so he doesn’t even have a drip nor is he hooked up to any monitors. He is just there in the hospital pyjamas colouring and waiting for someone to take care of him🥺👀"

And since there’s no medical concerns (anymore) the nurses would have more time to just chat with Peter and make sure he is like mentally taken care of 🌸🌸

---

tony stark- he's obviously the main man and does all the main caring. hes the one who sleeps with peter and makes sure he gets food, and plans the days. he also sometimes will hand make little gadgets (safe ofc) to occupy peter. he gets peter little engineering/inventing kits and will hold back any groans he has as peter hits his leg with a plastic hammer and screwdriver. he also is the one who is ALWAYS there, when he cries, when he's happy, when he's sad.

thor- he lets peter play with his hair, and even lets the boy snuggle, and sometimes even chew on, mjolnir (because of course peter would be worthy)

steve rogers- he lets peter look at and hold the shield. one day he finds the boy curled like a cat dosing on the inside of it

natasha- she speaks in russian to him, and when he goes outside to the park, shes there making sure no one disturbs him

wanda+sam (i had an idea for them when i originally thought of this, but i cant remember it now :/)

bucky- he lets peter also mess with his hair, although more rare than thor, but he does let peter suck on his metal fingers when hes really small, and will scratch peters scalp with it, the metal scratching much better than normal skin. also if he ever gets a fever, the cold of the arm feels amazing on his forehead

bruce- not strictly canon since hes more sciency than doctor, but i imagine bruce is the one who does checkups and takes care of the meds when peter is sick

stephen- he doesnt do it often, plus he's not at the tower much, but hell do little harmless "magic" tricks to excite Peter and when peter gets grumpy, stephen will give him a little stress spell thing to calm peter down

peter quill- i imagine hes the one who is down to do lots of fun stuff, but is also the most reckless towards the actions suited towards littles, getting a lot of scolding from tony. also, he has great taste in music, so when peter has bursts of energy, he'll bounce around the room dancing to old 80s music

rocket- hes the closest peters ever gonna get to a pet, and with lots of bribing from tony, rocket /occasionally/ lets peter pet him and feed him "treats", sometimes peter will ask rocket to do a trick like jump or spin, but rocket with always decline...at first. peters trademark pouts do the trick because either rocket will concede and hurt his pride, or tony will see and threaten rocket into making his little boy happy. its always worth it to see the happy little squirms and claps

gamora- she's the resident story teller. when its bedtime, she'll share her cool space stories, leaving out the gory/scarier aspects. it always does the trick as hes out in minutes. sometimes hell catch her and peter q engaging in loving activities (ie kissing, hugging, whatever), and he'll just giggle away, and as embarrassed as gamora gets, not being an openly affectionate person, she might just go to the extreme to hear the cute giggles out of the little boy

clint- hes pretty chill with peter. he also likes to play games with the boy, playing things like peek-a-boo when he's super small, or playing darts when he feels older. tony isnt /too/ happy about it, but its better than quill so he doesnt say anything.

pepper is there too because i love the idea of tony working away somewhere and pepper calling peter in, handing him a few sheets of paper, sometimes actual documents, sometimes just scratch paper to entertaim the boy, before asking peter to deliver them to tony. she always has a smile when peter eagerly nods with his whole body before running to the office to give tony the papers. it almost always ends with peter in his lap, but it /always/ ends in tony praising him, saying something along the lines of 'theres my little helper boy. look at you'

---

--on any particular day peter wakes up aged up, he doesn't even miss his old internship because this life is so much better, although on these days tony actually lets him help with some safer stuff in the lab with him

--also, they are still the avengers and still have to save the universe. tony leaves him in the care of Happy or Pepper, trusting them both to handle him. sometimes, it ends in disaster. sometimes, they are lucky enough to find happy laying on the couch, with a drooling little boy soaking his suit

--no matter how things end up, it never gets old being able to come home and cuddle up with the reason tony wants to save the universe.

--its no surprise peter is able to help the man just as much as tony helps him. tony stops locking himself up so late at night so he can put peter to bed and cuddle up. he stops drinking when he's stressed, instead finding his boy and reading a story to him. his hookups end, he wants to be there for peter all the time. he gets more work done, the added bonus of having a pretty little boy in his lap helping keep his mind on track.

--tony still has his canon issues, but having peter there makes everything a little more manageable. and when he eventually gets too old to be ironman, its okay, because his universe is lying in bed, a red pacifier in his mouth, and a family of superheroes softly arguing about who the boy loves most

--and despite tony being a narcissist, he knows this is not that, when he thinks that without a doubt he is peters favorite. after all, peter helped him see the good inside the bad

so uh yeah thats all i had to say. maybe in the future it will become an actual thing, idk. i still have so many projects im working on first. feel free to add whatever you want to it though !!

Mario Tomic Seminar Notes

Hola, I’m here in Portugal… Just came back from a Mario Tomic Seminar hosted by the Lisbon Inner Circle. In case you don’t know, Mario is a former assistant of Max and a former marketing director at RSD. He is also a fitness personality and has his own youtube channel. A very inspiring guy!

First off, I go to these events because it’s not only refreshing to have all these positive people around, but it also provides me with new perspectives on things. If you’re in self-help you know the basic, fundamental principles of self-improvement: things like abundance, the law of attraction, hustling, freedom from outcome, time management, lifestyle management, purpose in life, etc etc. You have these inner beliefs, and then you have a ‘system’ where you divide life in different categories: Health, wealth, love(relationships), happiness, lifestyle, as an example- and try to take care of each of these aspects as well as you can. All cool.

But it’s one thing to know and another to actually put them in context. The best way to put them in context is to listen to people who have actually applied these 'systems’ and 'beliefs’ in their own lives and killed it. That’s when you know this shit’s real. You learn that your life is completely up to you and every decision you make. Now you have this responsibility - because you’ve learned all these tools - to make your life FUCKING AWESOME.

As a young kid I have a deep, deep respect for EVERYONE who has made it BIG in life and is kind enough to share their stories and tips. Without them, I can’t imagine where I’d be right now. Seriously. I’m not just talking about RSD and lifestyle coaches; I’m talking about every single individual who has ever succeeded on this earth who in some way, shape or form left their legacy so that people like me can follow. So I’m extremely grateful for all of the resources that I have access to that are preparing me for MASSIVE SUCCESS in life. Here are my notes.

<Mario Tomic seminar in Lisbon>

1. Fitness talks and Q&As

-Most people settle for a 'good’ or an 'okay’ physique. A great physique, on the other hand, is having a body where you walk around the beach naked and everyone’s staring at you. Getting validated is not necessary, but why not set higher standards for yourself?

-How to build a GREAT physique: do little things correctly. It requires DAILY efforts. Start with counting calories and walking more.

-Become a lean person: Don’t just go to the gym and sit in the couch when you’re not in the gym. Become an active person. Ask yourself, “What would a lean person do?”

-Take charge of eating more food. If too much food bothers you, make an easy 1,000-calorie shake and drink it as soon as you wake up.

- Sleep: Use aluminum foil to block out all the windows. Shut off the blue lights from your laptop hours before going to sleep. Keep yourself in a calm mood as soon as you get home. No electronics, no stimulations hours before going to bed.

-Q. Why do you build muscles so much if, if you don’t work out, you lose everything? A. You live longer if you have lean muscles when you’re older. Muscles are like everything else in life: use it or lose it. Same with social skills and any other skills. Once you have it though, you won’t want to lose it; that’s when you go to the gym because you really want to, not because you feel like you have to.

2. Deep Truths about Life

-Scarcity of time: Today, so many things require our attention that we’re giving away time like nothing. If you don’t plan a day at least 24 hrs in advance, that day is gone; plan your day. Block out things you don’t need. Say NO to things. If you don’t say no to a lot of things, it’s impossible not to waste time.

-Loss aversion/Prospect theory(Daniel Kahneman): Once we have something, we hate losing it. Like muscles. Once we have them we keep going to the gym and try to maintain them, because we hate losing what we have.

(Prospect theory is a behavioral economic theory that describes the way people choose between probabilistic alternatives that involve risk, where the probabilities of outcomes are known. The theory states that people make decisions based on the potential value of losses and gains rather than the final outcome.)

-The effect of environment: same work can be insanely difficult or an easy activity depending on the environment you’re in. Create a positive environment group or supporting group where you support each other and work towards similiar goals in life. I.E. Mastermind.

-You don’t have to go all out in everything; focus on areas of life you most need to work on, and try to get 80% of results out of that 20% effort in that particular area. For example, your fitness sucks? Spend a few months getting in shape. After that, little efforts necessary to maintain it. Its up to you if you want to scale it and keep making improvements. Mario spent 2 years just maintaining his physical shape and not making any gains becaus he needed to focus on business and relationships.

-Robert Greene “Mastery” - You wanna spend your late 20s experimenting and trying out all kinds of things. You should put yourself in as many situations as you can. Because our brain in our early 20s is VERY susceptible to changes. We don’t have defined beliefs yet. As time goes on, ideally, you have two brains: a hardened brain of solid, field-tested beliefs, and the flexible brain of being able to adjust to different things. It’s this duality of “I’ve been through a lot, so I know a thing or two about life” and “I can still learn from new experiences.”

-Know your 'stress cap’: know the point where you’re too stressed to do anything. You should always be stressed out to some extent, though; if you’re not stressed out enough, you have to make life more challenging for you. Build the stress capacity over time. If you go overboard and get burned out, keep working, but tone down the volume of work little bit and condense it to essentials.

3. Reading

-Read something that resonates with you; dont read something if its boring. Read audiobook while commute/walking/etc etc.

-Multi-tasking doesn’t work. BUT you can listen to an audiobook while walking, going somewhere, doing dishes, etc etc. Do NOT waste time like most people. (I’m guilty of this; if I listend to audiobook for all the time I listend to music while commuting, I’d have read hundreds of more books.)

-After reading a book, try to sum up the entire book in 1 sentence. And think: how will you teach it to someone else?

-Information is useless without the right context.

4. Life Is Finite -*Sense of urgency: life is something finite. Time, too, is. Have this sense of urgency. That’s what motivates HIM to hustle hard and be exceptional.

-Don’t have regret: try to make through the day without having regret.

-Myth of retirement: once people retire, they get depressed because they don’t add any value. Add value till the END. It will increase your happiness set point dramatically.

-“Happiness Advantage” “Happiness Hypothesis” : recommended books on happiness.

-Experience as an RSD intern :Made him realize that if you don’t go out there and add value, you’re useless. In RSD, no one’s gonna tell you what to do. You HAVE to figure out HOW you can add value.

:He did unpaid internship at RSD. Mario worked 40 hours/week for free because he didn’t have any skills relevant to the company YET(even though he had masters in computing). He had this mindset where he told them, “Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it.”

-While working for rsd, he made money by writing 10 articles a day for UK companies to survive. It forced him to perfect his English. (Imagine working 40 hours/week in one of the most challenging environments AND doing work on your spare time!)

-Learning a different language: put you in a situation where you HAVE to learn and speak the language to survive.

-Rest: the only way Mario rests is if he plans for it. Plan for a day or an event per week. (I think it’s highly effective to get away from your area at least once every month; maybe 2-3 days a month.)

-If you plan for events ahead of time, you’ll be excited & something to look forward to. It allows him to hustle harder. So plan for trips, etc etc.

-When you’re working your ass off, going out is NOT a grind but a CELEBRATION. Make it that way.
