#i also LOVEEEE spider-man: no way home

[enid-rhees]

this pic i found on pinterest … i can just imagine you and Enid sneaking out of Hilltop to go to an abandoned store and find some candy or chips for a movie night . and you guys just cuddle all night while snacking and watching your fav movies <3

and if we’re thinking non-apocalyptic: you and Enid RANNN to the store after school and spent like $50 on so many candies, chips and drinks and binged watched Netflix (or any streaming service u have) all night till 5am . and u took this photo of her to post on twitter or instagram w/ the cheesy caption “movie night with my favorite girl 🫶🏻”

[dreamwritesimagines]

It’s CMA-

Sorry I work sundays now so I can’t check in as soon as you post:(

First of all, Anthony giving Ben a lecture and Lottie giving clover chocolates will never not be funny. It’s the most accurate painting of their personalities in the entire series lmao.

Ooh I wonder what kind of knife clover will gift Eloise! That will be fun and hilarious and I’m sure it won’t cause any trouble at all (/s /pos)

I love how much Ben is so eager to show her the country home and have it ready for her and everything. It’s very sweet of him to even before they go there be preparing it for her so that she feels safe and comfortable.

Also I feel like Ben is constantly scheming lmao. He’s always got something up his sleeve. It’s always something good but I feel like he’s always got a secret but in a good way.

I love that he got a chance to tell Anthony and Lottie that he’s actually happy for them. It was a sweet gesture in the midst of the teasing haha.

I wonder if clover is helping Lottie pick out the flowers for the wedding! I feel like clover is unexpectedly the default flower arrangement person for all their weddings lol, if only because she gets annoyed with the florists not doing a good enough job. (like ‘that’s not what that flower means!’, ‘really? A ____ for a wedding bouquet?’, and just knowing flower meanings and what’s outdated and stuff lol)

How long of a break do poor Eloise and Colin get before they find their partners do you think? I need the clown faced meme for them starting with them thinking that they will get a few more seasons to themselves and then progressing with everything that’s happened lol

This is random but have you been watching any of the new Star Wars or spider verse stuff? Or what have you been up to/watching/reading lately? Idk I just feel like doing some chit chat haha

CMA hi my loveeee! ❤️

Omg please don't worry about that! ❤️

Lolll aw I'm glad to hear that! 😂 Exactly, Lottie is like giving people gifts while Anthony is like "Ben, do NOT fuck this up, you have responsibilities as the best man" 😂

I feel like Clover will find a pretty knife for her, maybe with her initials and such 🥰 Eloise will love that gift 😁

Yessss, Benedict is so excited to show her their country house and he has all these plans to make sure she loves it there 🥰 Alsooo they will have a HUGE garden 🥰

He has another secret/surprise in the studiooo 😏

He really is happy for Lottie and Anthony, but he will whine about it a lot 😁 And he will tease them so much😁

Oh that's such a wonderful idea darling, yes! 🥰 She would definitely be the flower person in the family, they will all go to her when they need anything concerning flowers and such, I think Colin will basically drag her to the florist while he's courting Pen so that Clover can pick the best flowers for her 😂

Very good question! 😍 I feel like Colin will realize he's in love with Pen the very next season and Eloise will fall in love in the season after that 😁 So meanwhile, Clover will help her intimidate her suitors 😈

Oh I haven't watched any of the Star Wars/Spiderverse stuff my love, are they good? ❤️

I'm actually in one of those like, you know those periods you don't watch anything new for some reason, but go back to the shows you've already watched? I'm totally like that nowadays😂 I tried to start on these new Walking Dead spinoffs and even Lost, because I haven't watched Lost and I couldn't focus on any of those 😂

So rn I'm rewatching Supernatural for the nostalgia and also Buffy the Vampire Slayer because why not 😁 How about you? ❤️

closing remarks:

Holy fucking shit ballz my dude. Holyy shit. By far the best mcu movie this tops all the iron mans and all the spider mans i dont care Holy fucking SHIT!!!!! it started off slow but it picked it back up SO WELL in that last hour srsly. Oh my god. i completely understand how this plot could make ppl hate tony or just not be favorable towards him. however i am insane. i think the plot was soo interesting the nuance/not really a villain besides the zemo guy was really good we've never seen smth like that from marvel (in the current year 2016). It was. god. i can see where steve was coming from. Im glad he reached out to tony at the end that was the right thing to do. im glad the avengers isnt completely done for. That last ten minutes was. god. Starting the movie with the flashback and ending it with the reveal was golden ik thats how u do movies generally but the build up was awesomeee. Tony's desperation read so well he was very selfish throughout this whole movie but it was done in such a good way that i completely understand where hes coming from. There is weight to both sides. i dont think any of them were wholly in the right. The last sequence where Tony, blinded by grief, couldnt see through actual reasoning was fucking awesome i think that is my alltime favorite stark scene. IT was so brutal and awesome and friday gently trying to discourage him was also awesome. it was seriuosly devastating. i dont blame bucky for any of his actions but it is easy when, after losing someone you love, to forgo all logical reasoning or grey area and jump to conclusions. tony couldnt see for himself in that moment that bucky had no control over his actions. I hope we get to see him again at some point :(. he deserves to be able to live his life free from other people's control. its not fair that he gets to live with this overwhelming guilt srsly. i hope he can recover soon. I think peters intro was pretty good i do wish we got more of a resolution from him in THIS movie i know he comes back and i know its awesome but he kind of just peaced out during the first hour and then showed up for a post credit scene. Regardless im very excited to see him again i HAVE watched the spidermans before any of these but i feel the added context will make them a lot more appreciable. if u couldnt see it already im a big irondad guy. Like i see them and i. i just.

Anyway i just. god..... That movie was SOOO good. I seriously cannot believe this. I had to go to the bathroom before i wrote the closing and i was literally sprinting down the hall bro u got no idea 😭im just so very happy. I debated watching civil war in the beginning before all of this when i wanted to watch spiderman but i skipped it and im so glad i did bcuz if i hadnt seen all the movies before it even the ones i hated i wouldve regreted it i know. it comes together SOOO well im gonna dieee srsly

sorry for the fucking wall of text im just rlly happy

im sure a lot of u were betting i would disown tony stark after this movie LOL but im stronger... I dunno. obviously he did quite a few bad things but i think they srsly strengthened his overall human persona. tony may be a tech guy fanatic and iron man 60% of the time but hes still got flesh and blood. its good to be reminded that he isnt The Good Guy Billionare. he fucks up too. so did steve. so did everybody in this movie and i loveeee them for it Fr. i hope we see ant man i gain i love scott im so srs 😭

rating: Whatever the fuck this number is 🔥🔥🔥🔥it will never hapopen again i just couldnt do with giving it an 11/10 it was FAR better than age of ultron (no offense)

Next movie is doctor strange!!! i saw him in no way home but other than that i have absolutely no fucking idea who this guy is and what his deal is. Kind of excited

civil war thread 2. HES GOT HOMEWORK🔥🔥🔥😭😭😭

could you do tom holland x fem!actress!reader

On Jimmy Kimmel interview, Tom was in backstage, Jimmy called him out. He take a seat. So Jimmy talked about Spider-Man No Way Home trailer (no more spoiler) also Jimmy would like another special guest was y/n. He was so surprise until he hugged her. They talked about each other

honestly, i don't have a lot of inspo for tom/this isn't usually something i'd write but i still wanted to do it just for u, anon 💌 yes, i got carried away. yes, this basically wrote itself.

pairing: tom holland x fem!actress!reader

warnings: mentions of alcohol, some suggestiveness maybe?

wc: 1.7k

a/n: one thing i realized while writing this is that i could never be famous or go on a talk show unless my PR team was okay with me acting exactly how aubrey plaza does in any setting.

“Our guest tonight is starring in one of the most highly anticipated movies this year, has taken America by the storm… or his webs rather, the man behind your favorite friendly-neighborhood Spiderman… please welcome Tom Holland!”

The crowd erupts into applause as Tom takes the stage, smiling with his pearly whites flashing the audience. He looks damn good in that suit, you think. He took your advice and wore a silk floral underneath, much to his begrudging that you were just trying to make him look more like Harry Styles.

“Hey Jimmy! It’s good to see you again.”

“Ah, always a pleasure, Tom,” Jimmy grins.

************************************

After a bit of banter and showing clips from the the No Way Home trailer, your attention has piqued to the television when your name comes up. Sipping your glass of lemon water in the green room, your eyes twinkle at the blush that creeps onto Tom’s face.

“Anyone in Hollywood you’d like to work with? Perhaps a fellow celebrity crush?” Jimmy asks, wiggling his eyebrows.

“Uh, probably Y/N Y/L/N,” Tom replies almost too quickly, nonchalantly sipping his water afterwards so he can block out the blush on his cheeks. It doesn’t make much of a difference — Kimmel’s caught him in his trap. “I mean, I worked with her because she had a smaller part in Cherry but we actually became pretty close.”

“Oh for sure, she’s absolutely beautiful. Zendaya’s MJ may have a run for her money if Y/N ever enters the MCU.”

“Hmm, I feel like you’re trying to get some information out of me, Jimmy.”

“Some rumors have been spreading around that the MCU may feature a female Spiderman… do you have any idea about that?”

“Well, Jimmy, if I did, I’m sure there’s somewhere in my contract that I get shot on-sight if I say anything,” Tom giggles. The crowd echoes his laughter.

“Well, Twitter definitely has some theories floating around.” Jimmy clicks the remote and the giant screen behind them fills with Twitter screenshots.

@hollandsgrl: i loveeee MJ but ill smack a b*tch to get the role of jessica drew any day to be close to tom

@tomspider23: did you guys see that leaked promo???? either peter parker’s grown some boobs or spider-woman is entering the multiverse.

@kingdomholland: OMG TOM AND Y/N ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER

Below the tweet is an image of the two of you both in in your Spider-suits with friends, seemingly for a planned Halloween party. The room is filled with “oooooohh’s” as Tom covers his face.

“Well, well, well, maybe this has confirmed it?”

“Oh my god, she decided to be cheeky and dress as Spiderman for the Halloween party. Kind of looks better on her, though, doesn’t it?” The look on Tom’s face is pure adoration. “It’s really funny actually, y/n and I were texting and she was like, kind of refusing to come because she didn’t have a costume. And I was like no, no, just put on some cat ears or something it doesn’t matter! And then I get to my own house because I’d had dinner with an agent that ran late and there she is in my kitchen dressed as me. It was just like that meme of the Spiderman pointing fingers.”

“Sounds like hell of a couples’ costume, then, right?” Jimmy teases. More laughter ensues and a bashful Tom hides behind his hands. A crew member enters the green room and gestures to you — you’re bound to get on stage within the next five minutes. Smoothing your dress, you glance in the mirror one last time to make sure your red lipstick is intact.

You walk onto the stage carefully and smile softly to the audience, putting a finger to your mouth to shush them. Despite this, some gasps come out, and Tom’s face becomes bewildered. “Sheesh, you guys are really all planning my wedding, aren’t you?”

“Can’t blame ‘em with all these paparazzi photos.” Jimmy clicks his remote again to show pictures of the two of you out and about in London. In one blurry picture that was posted on Jacob’s Instagram, you’re flashing a smile at the camera posing in front of Tom, who’s attempting to take back the attention with a hand on your waist.

“Please, Y/N is always trying to steal my thunder.”

“This is true,” you say bluntly into Tom’s ear, to which he yells immediately and puts up his fist. Everyone in the room is laughing and clapping with some “awww’s” as Tom clutches his chest in relief when he sees you, immediately ushering you onto the couch with a bear hug.

“Can’t even have my own interview. The star of the show is really here. Ladies and gentlemen, Y/N L/N!” Tom exclaims, clapping and grinning as you twirl around to show off your knee-length golden dress. You look like a mixture of Zoe Kravitz and Taylor Swift VMA-core. He can’t take his eyes off you and pretends how to be casual completely, considering his arm is already resting on your shoulders. “Jesus, I thought you were still in London.”

“I had to surprise my favorite human spider,” you beam, squeezing his knee.

“Oh, man, are you guys gonna have souvenirs at your wedding? Save me a seat,” Jimmy chuckles.

“Behave, Jimmy,” you challenged. “You know what happened last time you said something like that about my one of my alleged lovers. We don’t wanna curse poor Tommy here.”

Jimmy’s eyes widen as he laughs along with the audience. You’re indirectly referring to your last boyfriend, a B-list actor that co-starred with you on a cancelled television show, who’s been up to his neck in scandals recently. Luckily, the press was focused on you and Tom and the romance that was blossoming between the two of you, though you still played coy when the two of you would be in public like this.

“So, Y/N, will we be seeing you in No Way Home or perhaps a future MCU movie?” Jimmy asks.

“Hard to say. Not sure if I could work with Tom on a big deal like that. Kid’s a piece of work, begging the crew members for juice box after juice box.”

Tom groans, putting his head in his hands. “Oh, god, Anthony started a smear campaign against me!”

“But given the chance, I’d definitely love to be Cindy Moon one day. Silk is just an awesome character. Or even Spider-Gwen. I used to pretend I was the one cuddling up to Andrew Garfield back in the day. He’s just so… dreamy.”

“Better be careful, Holland. You’ve got competition,” Jimmy retorts.

“Oh, please, I’ve already thrown a few punches to him on-screen,” Tom defends. You and Jimmy look at each other, raising your eyebrows before bursting into laughter.

“You’re getting in so much trouble.”

“What, was that a spoiler? Oh, c’mon, the entire internet and their mother must know!”

************************************

“This is still a PG-13 rated show, so these concoctions aren’t… too alcoholic,” Jimmy explains, setting down small glasses filled with colorful liquor mixed with God knows what.

“Aw,” you pout, to which Tom playfully smacks your shoulder.

“Okay, kids, classic Truth or Dare, but with a twist! You either answer the question if you get a question, do the dare if you get a dare. If you can’t do either, you’ve gotta drink!”

“Seems relatively easy. I’m a daredevil and an open book,” Tom nods, smiling. His accent is honey-sweet. It’s been weeks since you’ve seen him in person. Maybe you were already intoxicated.

“Daredevil, huh? This one couldn’t even make it through Hereditary,” you tease. The crowd laughs.

“Okay, Y/L/N, you’re on!”

“Tom, you’re up first.”

Tom takes a card from the stack and reads it aloud. “Truth: What was the last thing you Googled?”

“Oh, jesus,” he sighs, taking out his phone. “Get your mind out of the gutter, everyone!”

You peer over his shoulder. “Wooooow. He really typed in ‘Y/N Y/L/N bikini pics.”

“Not true!” Tom flashes his iPhone to the audience. The camera zooms in, showing the television a menu for Nando’s. “Sorry mates, not that exciting. Your turn, Y/N.”

You take a card and grin when you read it in your head. “Dare: Pants the player of your choice.”

Without a warning, you unbutton Tom’s slacks and push them to his knees. Your attack left him surprised and a bit dizzy because he nearly falls over himself trying to get you to not succeed, but now his milky thighs are on display for the whole world and everyone in the room is hollering. His face is red, although he can’t stop laughing. He rubs his hand with his face. “She really thinks this is the Olympics.”

After a few rounds, the both of you are significantly tipsier after some raunchy questions and requests to eat some very weird food (you’re not a total pussy, you did try the pig’s feet and it wasn’t half bad). Tom’s pants are still around his ankles. It’s easy to notice how much he keeps staring at you, watching your mouth move or looking your way for approval when he answers a truth or does a dare.

It’s the final round and you take your card. “Dare: smooch the person immediately to your left.”

Jimmy knew exactly what he was doing with your standing positions, and hell, maybe your publicists told you and Tom to wait it out, but you love the attention. Your head’s spinning and there’s nothing more you want than to feed your body those endorphins. Tom raises his eyebrows when he hears the prompt and hands you a glass. You take it, raising it to your mouth as he pouts in exaggeration. In the last minute you put it down and kiss him square on the mouth — not too passionately, that was for later — and the audience is cheering like the two of you had just won the Superbowl. They may as well have given you a standing ovation. You pull away to see Tom’s shiny teeth set in what could be a permanent smile, sheepishly looking away as he pulls his pants back up.

“There you have it, folks, Tom Holland and Y/N and Y/L/N!” Jimmy marveled. “Keep a look out for Spiderman: No Way Home, out December 17th!”

[non-binharry]

Hi Asia! 15 yr bi <3 how are you doing? I’m FINALLY back in my hometown after being stuck at my grandmas house for 6 months. Covid is a bitch. I got my first dose of vaccine yest. And now my arm hurts soo bad lol. Have your watched Raya and the last dragon? Idk why but raya and namari give me sooo much nonbinary lesbian vibes lol. It’s a great movie. Have you also watched no way home? It was literally all my dreams come true because I loveeee all Spider-Man’s. Btw if I come out to my Muslim friends as genderfluid (they already know I’m bi) should I ask them to wear hijabs? Since I’m technically masc. I don’t want them to feel uncomfortable around me. Hope you had a good day!

hi my little friend! sorry it has taken me so long to get to your message, i hope you are well! i'm happy to hear that you have gotten your first vaccine dose. it's weird that this is even a normal topic of conversation these days but it's important to stay safe! i have not seen either of these movies lol i will eventually see nwh but i've felt no rush to go to the movies as you can see *gestures pandemically*

also there are many different reasons why people wear hijabs, and they're not always necessarily because of gender, but rather for spiritual reasons, so it's less about their proximity to men and more about how others' behave, and how muslim women (and nb hijabis) want to be treated and perceived by everyone, not just men, so them not wearing a hijab around you even if you come out as fluid is not necessarily an invalidation of your gender identity but rather faith in your intentions

[sailingintothenight]

“WANNABE.” T.H. Imagine.

And what if after years of chasing each other like a cat and mouse, you and Tom started to wonder if you wanna be something else in each other's life?

A/N: I am posting a one shot after weeks of writer's block. I hope you like it. It's 9:30 pm in Peru and it's still April 28, so it's still my birthday! Give it a try. Pleaseeeeee! And yes, I borrowed a scene from Mean Girls (Because I loveeee that movie)

“Hello God, it's me again, (y/n). What's up? I know we haven't talked much lately, but, hey, listen, I have a favor to ask you- I have behaved well, I haven’t gotten drunk at any crazy party of any Hollywood star and I haven't accepted drugs, ever: I'm afraid my grandmother will appear in my room as a ghost and pull my blankets in the middle of the night, plus, I haven't make out with any Stone-cold Hollywood hottie, and trust me, I've had more than one chance. Anyway, about the favor–”

"Yes, but (y/n)'s grandfather invited us to his birthday party..."

Tom's voice startles you and cuts off your internal dialogue, turning you back to the reality.

It’s 6 am. The sun shines in the clear sky, and you are on a flight back to England in a luxury privet jet that is about to arrive at the airport, while Haz, Harry, Tom and you are sitting in comfortable velvety seats, with the view of morning sky on your left side. 

The exciting memory of your last recording still seemed to run through your veins, too exciting to let you sleep. Because that was the end, the goodbye after incredible months. All your efforts from the past months were hidden behind that last performance that looked like a fantasy, except for the kiss, ugh, you had to erase it from your mind. But now, you're going back home, ready to take a break away from the set-up bridge and blue and green backgrounds, away from the makeup artists who gave your face the final touches of the magic of Hollywood, far from the suit of a superhero who had just won her last battle and who got the cute boy, Peter Parker.

But not far away from Tom Holland.

Because evil takes a human form in Tom Holland, your lifelong neighbor.

How do you even begin to explain Tom Ho– Stop, people say that if you pronounce his name 3 times a curse falls on you.

But fans say Tom Holland is flawless, you heard his curly hair is insured for 10,000 dollars, his favorite movie is “Spider-man Homecoming”, duh, and very soon, “far from home”. One time he met Robert Downey Jr. in his own village and he started hyperventilating, and once he threw a fan's phone on the floor and she said it was awesome.

"Please don't tell me you're going to his birthday party." You complain, because you can't help it.

"Would that bother you that much, darling?" Tom smiles, tilting his head back so that his tender smile fits perfectly with his tender face. “Then of course I will go. Also, your grandfather still has the hope his granddaughter would get a man like me.”

"Ew. Why would my dear grandfather want me to be with someone who enjoys keeping a frog in his mouth?" You ask, earning yourself an Oscar for best actress with the innocence you exude and the seriousness you manage to put on your face, even when Tom's eyes narrow from the attack you just launched, while, enjoying the show, his friend and his younger brother laughs, shaking heads with a familiar expression on their faces because of the familiar discussion between you and him that happens, every two or three days. "Seriously, Tom, give the poor Henry a break."

"Henry?" Tom asks with real confusion, his accent thick, while the other male voices ask it in a collective whisper too.

"I named your frog Henry, hope it doesn't bother you." And you laugh, victorious to feel how Tom exhales the air through his nose.

“Seriously, (y/n), when will you confess that you are in love with me? You don't have to be so shy, darling.” Tom laughs too, using his finger to tap your nose, because he knows perfectly well that you don't like that, just as you don't like being called darling anymore. “Ray is a wise man, you should listen to your grandfather."

"Yes, if you like skinny ones."

"I'm not skinny. I have the perfect body.” Tom defends himself.

"For now, but in a couple of years you will named your big belly as your dad does after drinking with mine." You laugh like a little girl because you love Dom, because he's warm and funny, because he loves his wife and children, and because of how funny he is when he and your dad have had too much alcohol, like the time they started a cartwheel contest in the middle of the street. "Who's there? It's Dom Junior.”

"Shut up! My dad is still sexy!” A heavy silence falls over the small place as everyone looks at Tom with furrowed brows and true confusion, but that's when he realizes the choice of words he used to refer to his dad. "That's not what I meant!"

You raise your hands in a sign of peace, your gaze avoiding his as you stop yourself from laughing and mocking him.

"That's so wrong, Tom." Harry says, with a certain bittersweet taste on the tip of his tongue. "Now because of you I won't be able to see dad's belly the same way."

Harry and Haz chuckle at Dom's expense.

But when the jet landed smoothly on the headlight-lit runway in the early hours of the morning, the heavy hours from the past months feels now as if they weighed the same as a feather, pain and exhausting sleepless nights disappeared in the blink of an eye, and now, there is no oceans that could make you feel far away, because in the end, you always came back home.

"Besides..." You say to finish that conversation, your backpack on your shoulder before making the victory path towards the stairs to get off the plane. "I would like a boyfriend who can grow a mustache, not like the failed attempt on your face. Thank you very much."

"Hey!" Tom frowns as you pass him by, and his voice rises even higher than it already is. "My doctor says it's just a hormone problem."

"Damn, bro..." Harry laughs as he puts an arm around Tom's shoulder, giving him a brotherly hug before walking out to the car waiting outside. “(Y/n) will be hard to catch, you know? But try it, maybe you will make it in this century."

Harry laughs, and then, walks out of the plane.

"What does that mean?" Tom asks Harrison, who is still waiting by his side.

"I think he meant that you are in love with (y/n), but you haven't noticed it yet."

Harrison chuckles, but after patting Tom on the back, he rushes to place a hand on his best friend's shoulder to stop him.

“Hey, mate… you, uh…” Tom's eyes soften, almost to the point where his brown eyes resembled the gaze of a little 5-year-old boy, sad, and lost. “You haven't told anyone why we came back, right?”

“Of course not.” Harrison says, and his gaze smiles just like his lips. “Don’t worry about anything, okay? We are home, you are home. You can take the time you need to rest.”

Tom nods, unsure, but tries to be strong as they both get off the plane. 

The gray autumn clouds hang with invisible strings in the sky as Tom Holland, actor, handsome, wealthy, and the loneliest person in the world, releases a deep breath that is lost among the sounds of the world, because his world is no longer sparkling or velvety thanks to the cameras or a red carpet, and while his new movie is a box office hit that never in his best dreams he would have imagined, something wasn't right for him.

That’s why he is back home.

The car ride is silent as some sleep, except you and Tom, because your eyes seem to recognize the streets you grew up in, because your hearts recognize your home. But for Tom, he recalls tilting his body to the left and a camera captured his best actor pose a week ago, but since then, his body has felt null, as if floating in the air and no longer responding to his orders. He was crystal clear, but a few people seemed to see clearly through him. Tom tries to convince himself that the tickling in his hands is his body's response to tiredness and not his anxiety, because he suffers it too, but he feels that something is eating his soul.

"Are you okay, Tom?"

Among a sea of ​​people, Tom Holland has always pretended to be an interesting person, but now, he takes a deep breath and looks at you, nervous, lost in the middle of that huge world, but you, looking back at him gives him peace, because he doesn’t feel alone anymore. 

What did you think? That someone is interested in knowing if you are really okay? Of course they care, right?

“Of course, darling.” Tom smiles, as if in a snap of fingers, everything is fine.

But there, he catches a movement of yours.

You tilt your head to the side, like his beloved Tessa when she is curious about something, but he doesn't say it out loud because you would take it the wrong way, but the movement in slow motion worthy of a Hollywood scene and the serenity of your gaze makes Tom hold his breath, that breath that previously didn't fit his chest with so many problems that he carried inside.

But suddenly he can breathe again, finally.

“Okay.”

The minutes pass until the car stops on a street that you two recognize perfectly. When everyone is out, the car leaves, but because your favorite boys are about to leave, too, you hug everyone as the promise to celebrate Harrison's birthday next week hangs in the air. You love them so much, because they are beautiful people who helped you to save yourself from the storms of doubts and fears, each of them in their own charming way, and for that, you were grateful.

"My friend Danielle is coming so I would like you to meet her, Haz." You chuckle adorably before leaving, noting that Harrison's smile is as real as his desire to meet her.

"I'm looking forward to it, darling."

"Wait, why he can call you darling?" Tom says, and for a second, you see a sparkle in the brightness of his eyes, but as the door of his house opens and his beloved Tessa runs to receive him, the confusion disperses like the morning haze.

"There she is the only darling you will ever get, Thomas."

And the moment you turn around, because the door of your house opens too, you lose sight of Tom's honest smile and the question that he hides behind his sweet eyes. Was he in love with you all this time without realizing it? And what if he wanna be your boyfriend? 

Oh, right. The favor that you were going to ask God for? To get you a boyfriend, a cute one, a hot one... maybe like Tom. Weird, isn't it?

25 for spideychelle prompt? we loveeee a feminist intellectual MJ

Thanks for the prompt, yous twos! Enjoy!

Margins in Their LivesPairing: Peter x Michelle (Spideychelle)Rating: GWord count: 1391

25. “I could tell it was your favourite book because of all the notes you wrote in the margins.”

His eyes went to her, reading on the bench, every chance theyhad: catching glimpses between the squares of rope while he raced Ned up thenet, wondering if she heard the echo of his thundering footsteps across themetal floor of the jungle gym, maybe trying to impress her while he walked therungs of the monkey bars with his arms outstretched until his aunt noticed and freaked, yelling for him to come down.

Peter was nine, with hair static-y from the enclosed tube ofthe red, plastic slide and Lego bricks zipped into the pocket of his cargopants, and it was love at first sight.

He didn’t notice when she left the bench, but he saw itempty and panicked, flew across the tiny pebbles of the playground at astaggering run. All that remained in the girl’s place was a book, which Peterpicked up. It wanted to fall open in his hands, naturally floppy from what musthave been a lot of rereading. (This dazzled Peter, who didn’t read very muchhimself.) His eyes lit up as he scanned the pages; there was as much written inpencil as had been typed in ink. This was amazing.He didn’t know you could do that with a book, fill it up with your own ideasand opinions. Something you could find your identity in, where you couldnegotiate yourself into existence from cover to cover.

Peter looked up after a minute, paperback in hand, andglanced around frantically. The playground was part of a larger park thatextended into a soccer pitch, and when he held his hand above his eyes, hecould see the girl walking away.

“What’s that?” Ned asked, coming up next to him and lookingcuriously at the book.

“Something important,” Peter said, certain. “I’ll tell youabout it in a minute. Tell May I’ll be right back!”

They’d been putting the playground equipment through itspaces this afternoon, but Peter found his energy reserves, pumping his skinnyarms as he sprinted across the field.

“Hey!” he called out. “You left this!”

The girl turned around as he approached, just as pretty asshe’d been from a distance, sitting on the bench. She wore a white t-shirt (Maywould never trust Peter in one of those) and had her thumbs hooked through the lowestpart of the straps on her backpack. He figured she must have a bunch of booksin there. That was how she could’ve forgotten the one currently in his hand. Italso explained how she was so smart.

“You left this,” he said again, winded, thrusting the bookforward and staring as it passed from his hand to hers. He felt like he’d justhanded over Excalibur, something massively significant.

“Thanks,” she said. She swung her backpack off one arm in avery no-nonsense way and tucked the book inside.

“I didn’t want you to lose it,” Peter explained. “I couldtell it was your favourite book because of all the notes you wrote in themargins.”

The dirtied soles on the toes of their sneakers lined up, acouple feet between them.

“What is it anyway?” he asked, following her backpack withhis eyes as she settled it back in place.

“You didn’t look?” The girl was smiling like she was aboutto laugh at him, but she didn’t. “It’s LittleWomen.”

“Wow,” said Peter. “It looks really long.”

“It is,” she confirmed.

“What were you―”

His aunt shouted his name and he turned around to look. Shewaved her arm, gesturing for him to return so that they could head home.

“Looks like I gotta go,” Peter said. The golden light oflate afternoon was hitting them sideways, getting in their eyes and making himdramatic, treading water in his own gravitas. “I’m Peter.” He stuck out hishand and stared, like he had with the book, as hers slipped into it.

“Michelle.”

He spent all night wondering if he should have swept herinto his arms and kissed her. Aunt May said he watched too many epic movies.

MJ let the spiral-bound notebook flap against her leg as shetrailed Peter at a leisurely pace down the science hall at Midtown Tech. Shewondered how long it would take him to notice.

It wasn’t exactly a high-speed chase, but her heartrate wasaccelerating, her breaths coming faster. He halted for a minute to say hi toBetty; keeping a furtive eye on him, MJ flipped the notebook open and uncappedthe pen he’d fed into the coil binding. She leaned into the recess next todrinking fountain, working fast. By the time he resumed walking, she was morethan ready.

Peter didn’t get ten steps before MJ saw his back stiffendramatically and hurried up behind him.

“Forget something?” she asked casually as he spun around tosee her standing there. She lifted her eyebrows.

His mouth fell open, leading the charge for the puzzledexpression that overtook his face. MJ held the notebook behind her and smackedit impatiently against her back.

“Yes, I did,” Peter decided. She loved that moment when heswitched from clueless to confident―it was like someone had just entered thepassword to enable the use of his brain.

Her dork frequently tried to fib his way out of circumstanceswhere he’d been caught, but MJ had never seen him use this precise techniquebefore, which was smiling, stepping close to her, and sliding his hand alongher jaw as he kissed her. She might have felt wrong-footed, if she could feelher legs; mostly, she was aware of her face heating up and her limbs feelingsort of woozy.

Pulling back, Peter beamed in accomplishment. It was a goodcover, but she knew he was still missing something, because she had it in herhand. MJ stood in front of him with a closed-lipped smile and waited for herboyfriend to admit that kissing her wasn’t the thing he’d forgotten.

“I’ll see you at lunch, ok? I have to, uh, get to, uh, gym.”

She nodded easily and let him brush by her, back the waythey’d both come from. Gave him four foolish steps before calling out, “Thegym’s actually in the other direction.”

Peter turned and laughed weakly.

“Right.”

He headed past her again with a little head shake like hewas asking himself what he’d been thinking. It was all very cute, this act hewas putting on. The fact that he still thought he could fool her. MJ strodeafter him and reached her arm over his shoulder to waggle the notebook in frontof his face.

“You left something in the lab,” she informed him.

“Crap.” He stopped in his tracks and snatched it out of herhand while she contained her laughter.

“Wouldn’t wanna leave this one behind,” MJ cautioned. Shefolded her arms on his shoulder and propped her chin on top. “I could tell itwas your favourite book because of all the notes you wrote in the margins.Don’t get me wrong, your organic chemistry notes were interesting too, but whatreally grabbed my attention was the stuff labelled ‘web fluid.’”

Peter turned his head to stare at her in horror. What aloser. If he’d just admit he was Spider-Man, MJ could stop putting him in thesesituations. She’d given him at least a dozen chances to fess up, but he kept holdingstubbornly to something he was so bad at hiding. MJ anticipated that hiseventual confession would be paired with a plea for help concealing hissuper-status.

Side-eyeing her, Peter thumbed through the pages and, bingo,found the one she’d improved. Beneath the ‘web fluid’ heading was a sketch ofSpider-Man’s mask. Uh oh, he was shocked again, wide eyes going from thecartoon to his girlfriend’s face. MJ gave him a proud grin.

“This is, uh… it doesn’t really say ‘web fluid,’ it says,um…”

“I have to get to class. Try to be more careful with yoursecrets, ok?”

MJ slid her arms from her boyfriend’s shoulder and gave hima swift peck on the cheek.

She received a text from him five minutes later,saying he had something important to tell her after school.

Oh, Peter, she thought, rolling hereyes, it’s about time.

Thoughts on the different boroughs of nyc? Thoughts on christmas movies? Thoughts on into the spiderverse??

Oops. I rambled on in my response to the first question so I put that under a cut, and I’ll answer the next two here:

Christmas movies - I don’t have a strong feeling about them either way? I don’t hate them, but I don’t love them either although I guess around Christmastime, I do want to put on a Christmas movie and get in the mood. I have some favorites. Also, you need to include one or two movies at the very least that take place during or mention Christmas but don’t actually have anything to do with the holiday in your top Christmas movies list or else it’s invalid. Like…Die Hard (which I haven’t watched to this day. SORRY. I’m lazy)? Iron Man 3? KKBB? Something? 

Into the Spider-verse - SO GOOD. I’ve been waiting for it to come out ever since they released the trailer because I’ve never seen animation so fresh, innovative, and fun before. I love how much they pushed the boundaries and went to new places animation-wise, I loveeee the character designs, I love the colors, I love everything. I’m so happy we got a Miles movie because I wanted Miles to be in a movie and well, I wanted him to be in the MCU because did we need another white Peter Parker? NO. We literally had 3 in the past 15 years. At least make him not white. He’s not representative of a nerd from Queens anymore. Anyway. Miles. MY SON(SHINE). HE CAN BE FULL-OUT AFROLATINO? Not just black? Like????? AFROLATINOS EXIST. LOVE THAT REP. LOVE HIS PARENTS. His dad is a big goof and embarrasses his son, but I love that he can show feelings and cry. And I was ambivalent about Gwen showing up, but I loved her!! She felt like a real girl (ugh sorry, I have :/ feelings about Spider Gwen as a concept and I was afraid she’d be written in a “what a man thinks is a cool but relatable girl” way). I love the other spiders. I can’t believe I finally care about Peter Parker, but I got emo over blondie (did you know he was nicknamed RIPeter by the art team lol?) dying and I was so fond of Peanut Butter Parker. I mean, Peter B. Parker. But uh….I have a hugeee soft spot for reluctant mentor/dad/older brother figures who take young kids under their wing especially if they’re hot messes so this was a very unsurprising turn of events. REALLY enjoyed Doc Ock and Kingpin which is not…something I expected. I liked Spider Ham too which…same thing. I never cared for him before. I didn’t care for Peni Parker the way she was depicted in the movie. :////// Yay, Asian/anime stereotypes. Yikes. :/// She’s not even like that in the comics so it’s a puzzling decision. I’m looking forward to the trailer. OH, UNCLE AARON. :( Um. The music! SO GODDAMN GOOD OH MY GOD. The post-credits scene which made me laugh out loud, but this entire movie made me laugh out loud which is rare. Cute, heartfelt, and just. THE ANIMATION IS SO GODDAMN GOOD. I’M LOSING MY MIND.

Boroughs under the cut:

Bronx - no one goes to the Bronx if they’re not from the Bronx unless they’re going to the zoo or Yankee Stadium, they work in the food/produce business, or want seafood in the boroughs. Also, the Bronx has gotten safer over the past few decades, but to be honest, one of the first things that’ll come to a native’s mind when they think of the Bronx aside from the zoo and the Yankees is crime/safety lol. :x Like…all us kids who grew up in the boroughs, especially before the 2000s/2010s (idk what Gen Z kids think of the Bronx? But this is 100% the case with older generations) think of it as the dangerous/shady borough if we had to pick one. But idk, mainly you think of it as that borough that’s far away that you don’t go to except for the reasons stated above and I’m like, “Oh yeah, I know a bunch of people who live/grew up/work there.”

Brooklyn - Damn, I don’t remember what my thoughts on Brooklyn were as a kid because now it’s like “GENTRIFICATION!!!! GENTRIFICATION!!! HIPSTERS! WHITE PEOPLE DISPLACING EVERYONE!” The place where everyone in their 20s live when they move here or move out of their parents’ house. Where the parties are at, I guess, except I don’t go. That or “the place where all my friends who are POC are from if they’re not from Queens” lol. I get too lazy to go deep into Brooklyn, but there are some good places to go to! I just haven’t explored it much. Oh, Steve Rogers now. That’s been a thing for years because I’m Steve trash. :))))

Manhattan - Dirty, stinky, nasty, and rat- and pigeon-infested, but it’s home. So much stuff to do, see, and go to! So many great restaurants! So many museums! If you’re a cinephile and bookworm, you’re happy. Whatever you’re in the mood for, there’ll always be a place that’ll fit your mood. Peaceful, airy areas? Busy, lively ones? Historic places? Skyscrapers everywhere? Every neighborhood has its own personality. I lovelovelove all the architecture. It tells the history of the city, and there are just all these different styles from different eras next to each other. Every time I leave, I’m wowed by how quiet and chill it is and don’t miss it and then I come back, as soon as I see a glimpse of the city or I set foot in it, I’m like “OH MY GOD???? I MISSED YOU.” There are a few things that I think of when I think of what the city means to me, and this is one of them; it captures the essence of what it means and feels like to be a New Yorker (and I’m not afraid to admit that I cried reading it, but that might also have been because I read it on 9/11 a few years back and yesyesyes, it explains everything).

Queens - Home! Birthplace. HM OKAY, I’M REVEALING TOO MUCH. But yes, this is absolutely unsurprising considering I’m Asian lmao. Where the Asians are at. Where the best Asian food is at because eh lol Manhattan’s food ranges from whatever to good with some stellar restaurants, but there’s a plethora of cheap authentic eats in Queens. White Peter Parker makes me mad as a Queens native even if it makes sense for Forest Hills fdofidhfioshf. I ranted about it a few years ago on here along with some facts about Queens’s diversity because fun fact: it’s the most diverse place in the world per capita!!! You have no idea how many non-English speakers Queens has and the sheer number of foreign languages represented here. The number of immigrants!!!! “UGLY” BUT I LOVE IT BECAUSE THAT MEANS TRANSPLANTS FORGET QUEENS EXISTS AND I’D LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY (also, transplants have weird thoughts about Queens unless they’re Asian themselves and sometimes even if they are). GET AWAY. I’m mad about Amazon. GTFO. 

Staten Island - dumpster of NY. That’s legit the first thing that pops into any New Yorker’s mind both in a literal and figurative sense because that’s literally where the world’s largest landfill was located until several years ago. Figurative because uh…sorry, but who goes to Staten Island? I try not to go there and I don’t even remember the times I’ve been there. People who live there know Staten Island is trash lmao. Also, this is the whitest borough and I mean that literally too. Also the borough that votes Republican all the goddamn time and voted for Trump although we switched it to blue during the midterms (wow????). FEHIFHWOHFIWEA everyone from the other boroughs looks down on Staten Island a lot and that’s nevah gonna change!
