#like i just want to love Peter Parker

[yourbustedkneecaps]

maybe it’s the underlying trauma or whatever but Tony getting just about any kid in his care/general vicinity and interacting with them immediately turns on the parental part of his brain and i think that’s funny as fuck

is he great at it? no. but he had Harley for like, a day, and basically became the Cool Mechanic Uncle-Guy to the kid. Peter? not even a year after so much as meeting the kid and he’s suddenly trying to “break the cycle” or whatever

[theshadowrealmitself]

Ideal Peter Parker getting to full on mentor Miles Morales for me is Peter, who has been keeping his identity a secret from everyone for years, giving Miles absolutely wild advice on how to hide his identity and sounding like he’s super overthinking everything

And then Miles meets like,, Nick Fury, or someone else who really wants to know Spidey’s identity, and it turns out to all be really rational advice because there are people out there going to great lengths to find out his identity

(So yeah, sorry Miles, but you are gonna have to figure out how to manufacture your own spray paint if you wanna use any as Spidey because they will try to use that to figure out who you are)

Maybe it's silly but I think a lot about how Spider-Man and Batman are possibly the 2 most popular superheroes.

People like them because they're somewhat relatable, in Spider-Man's case because he's a broke student/worker who really just wants to help other people; and in Batman's case because he has absolutely no superpowers or physical enhancements (besides what his money can provide).

Humans yearn for the power to help despite their lack of other things, like superpowers or money or time...

They also both lose their parents and deal with that grief, and also struggle with keeping their loved ones safe.

They refuse to kill. Something I'm sure a lot of us can get behind (even if we don't always agree).

They're both really selfless.

I think the people like them so much because they cause systemic change.

Spider-Man helps locally, he's for the people, working class men and women and children.

As for Batman need I even mention Gotham itself and his rogue gallery of mentally ill villains?

We just want to be seen and helped, and help in return, it's what we crave as a race, I think.

Been a while since I’ve drawn anything but guess what

A fanart! For the fic “Missing”by @zoiaeras !

Honestly it’s more of how I imagine Peter’s design to be rather than a fanart, cause usually when I do a fanart I either draw a scene or as I’ve lately been doing draw what I imagine the cover would look like (to be fair I kinda drew the breakfast scene? )

So this is more like a very small character sheets?? And the design is wrong a bit (his hair is supposed to be a bit longer but I only ingrained the choppy hair part)

Tried to keep the blue and red of his spidey suit in, but darker and paler to show the effects Gotham had on him

Honestly the fic is amazing! and the pacing is a chef kiss, and the comedy is on point for me and what I love the most about this is that it’s doing other stuff rather than just sticking to the norm of peter - Gotham crossover

Other characters are present, there is a plot being made and the characterization makes sense for the life the characters lived, and we’re even out of Gotham and introducing other superheroes to the plot like Superman and the flash and also villains like lex Luther

And what’s fun about this fic is that currently, the strongest thing Peter have is his brain, but he is still stupid outside of building stuff (I love this adorable bean)

My most favorite thing about it is probably the plot point and that things are actually happening with consequences to them that change the status que of the fic

The fic feels like a never stopping train wreck about to happen and I’m so excited to see just how big the crash will be and how sharp the debris left of it are

Honestly I can go on and on about this fic forever but that’s mean more spoiler which is a big no no

Just know that if you want a dc x peter crossover, with more justice league characters in it, this is the fic for you

Peter Parker sounds just like Spider-Man. This is something that the students of Midtown find hilarious

Soon, Peter's getting comments in the halls like, "Hey are you that kid who sounds like Spider-Man?" "Uhhh I mean -" "Holy shit it's truuue" and, "Hey Parker, say, 'Hiya Mister Criminal'' "(sigh) Hiya Mister criminal-"

It becomes a daily bit on the school news: they put Peter in the cheapest, most ridiculous Spider-Man mask imaginable and get him to say wild stuff, whatever Midtown students can think of. Like that bit at the end of Honest Trailers.

(Peter may or may not go slightly viral saying some Stuff about the Rogue Avengers in his "Spider-Man voice." Tony may or may not nearly piss himself laughing about it when he finds out.

Spider-Man himself has yet to comment.)

Headcanon that isn’t particularly mine nor particularly a headcanon really:

Most of the characters having a crush on Captain America at some point, but when they get to know Steve Rogers…

They have a bigger and more real crush on him.

Because he is actually funny? And not only nice but good and not the embodiment of “virtue”? He curses and gets angry, is sassy and a lil shit.

A great artist too, like damn.

He isn’t what they thought Captain America was supposed to be, because that persona doesn’t really exist, he’s just a really good guy with a lot of issues too, like any other normal person, but at the same time really caring and understanding guy who is loyal to a fault.

(He isn’t the judgmental man from the 40’s they thought he was. He isn’t only nice because thats what he is supposed to be. He isn’t just propaganda personified).

Most of them would love to have known Steve when he was a tiny ball of anger who punched bullies, even when he was the only one losing every single time.

He’s just really charming and they don’t understand how he’s still fighting and wanting to make the world a better place when he already lost everything, more than once.

And that makes them want to better themselves too.

Of course Steve doesn’t see this and doesn’t understand why everyone wants to talk to him or wants to listen to him outside of missions. He’s just a guy from the forties that’s is too overwhelmed to process everything all at once.

Demanding more lisp

posts in which it is imperative that wade be read with a fruity obnoxious little gay lisp:

[foolsocracy]

I can't get the idea out of my head, so please consider; MJ invites Peter out along with some of her friends for dancing. Results may vary

ok this has been SITTING in my inbox. I was thinking about drawing something but ive caved and im just gonna talk.

YES. That girl can DANCE and she loves it!! I feel in the 19th and 20th century everyone could do a bit of social dancing because thats just what people did for fun. I think the Parkers and the Watsons both taught their kids to dance 'older' stuff they would have done when they were younger, like a solid waltz, quadrille, two-step, polka, what have you. MJ learned them all with fervor. Pete... learned some of them.

I think MJ and Pete would probably do (east coast) swing most often. Because they are hip and of the times. I think Pete probably would have had MJ and Robbie get to know each other through dance, actually. Like Robbie was around the welfare center when MJ was and Pete immediately was like Yes, now MJ can practice with him and not me (ultimate backfire because how he's got 2 partners)! Harlem is definitely the hot spot for swing, with black Americans engineering the whole thing. MJ was totally ecstatic to have a friend over there to run into who was a ready and willing partner!

I do have to say that MJ is a total back lead when it comes to Peter. They will ARGUE on the floor (in good fun). She'll be like 'do that one move I just taught you!' or 'If you fumble this texas tommy i'll kill you' or 'ok on this next backstep we're doing Charleston... aaand triple step, back step.' And Peter will snark back. Whenever she really wants to piss him off she'll make him practice Balboa (he thinks it looks stupid).

Guilt

Sometimes, Peter feels guilty.

He knows he shouldn't, because the skipped lab days with Tony and missed dinners with May, and all the little lies and excuses he's told them to ease their worries, are really for the greater good - a fact he has been told time and time again by his superiors. But no matter how much he tells himself this, he can't stop feeling guilty about all of it.

As he bids May a hasty goodbye, throwing his backpack over his shoulder, that same guilt threatens to crush him once again. He almost wants to stay, to have dinner with his aunt like he had promised he would. But he can't.

He hopes he doesn't have a mission tomorrow night, so he can make it up to her.

He steps into the alley outside his apartment, where two men are waiting for him. They hand him a folder, he skims over the information, and he hands it back. They leave without another word.

He quickly climbs onto the roof and changes into the clothes he brought with him. The mask - the final piece of his uniform - slides over his mouth, and he finds the familiarity comforting. Unlike his Spider-Man mask, which always seems so suffocating, it covers just enough of his face to keep him anonymous. He prefers this mask, and wishes he could use it instead. But he can't, because it isn't Spider-Man's.

The mission is quick, far quicker than most. The file had included the likely locations of the target, and Peter finds the man right away. The target is in an unprotected building. All it takes is one shot from Peter's gun, and the man is dead. No one sees him leave the rooftop he took the shot from, and he makes it home without incident.

He changes back into his civilian clothing, tucking his uniform and weapons back into his bag, and goes into the apartment. May is waiting for him, and he rattles off some story of what he had done, the lies falling easily from his tongue. He tells her nothing of his mission.

He does have dinner with her that night, even though it's late. He has dinner with her the next night, too. He still doesn't feel like it quite makes up for his repeated absences, especially with how strained May's smile always looks.

He tries not to feel guilty about all of the lies and excuses he tells her. It's for the greater good, after all. Everyone he kills in Hydra's name deserves it, and their absence from this world makes the lives of everyone else better. But he knows May won't see it that way; not many people do.

Maybe someday, he can tell her the truth. But for now, he lies.

And despite knowing that what he's doing is what's best for her and everyone he cares about, he feels guilty about it all.

Re: Peter's "emo anger",

I hope it didnt come off as trivializing to call it emo!!! I just meant that it's the type of anger that is behind my favorite pop-punk & screamo songs and feels like a staple of the genre to me. It was definitely a projection on my part; I'm sure people could still call it punk anger, it just depends on what songs they're listening to lol.

I relate a lot to Peter's struggle to feel "powerful", which to me reads as if he's got his wires majorly crossed between power, autonomy, harm, and retribution. I screenshotted a line where civilian Peter thinks: "Wade has no idea of his capacity to bite back." Whether Aunt May's distaste for his self expression or perhaps pushback he's experienced around being trans, Peter has felt backed up into a corner when it comes to his autonomy, and as Spiderman he reclaims it through wielding his body as a weapon. But it's not a healthy type of empowerment, it's more of a form of self harm. A constant power struggle between himself, if you will. That's my take on it anyways. And obviously Wade really challenges this part of him that "needs" to feel powerful to feel in control, and it's lead to many crises around why he "needs" that to begin with (ex: when he abandons the suit and pendulums in the opposite direction, where he becomes listless and suicidal)

Not sure if this is TMI but seeing these facets of Peter being explored in LP has gotten me thinking about my similarly wire-crossed relationship to power/autonomy/etc. I've really been getting my money's worth out of my therapy sessions recently LOL it's inspired a lot of important introspection. So I'm really thankful for your characterization of Peter

Peter's struggle to feel "powerful" through being in control is one of - if not the most - personally inspired aspects of his character to me. It's something I have always struggled with as a person. I've found writing it in such an honest and unflattering way has been a very vulnerable experience.

It means a lot to me that it's an aspect of him that you not only relate to, but also felt inspired by to work through. I think as a writer my personal goal is always to write characters that people can see themselves through a third perspective - messy, imperfect, selfish, and earnest. It's hard to have sympathy toward the complications of ourselves, but it's very easy to forgive and understand flawed character.

"He's got his wires majorly crossed between power, autonomy, harm, and retribution." <- you really understand the character. Peter's life has been one of never actually being able to be seen as powerful enough to not be harmed by others. I think he feels like if he figures out a way to be perceived as untouchable, then nothing will touch him. Peter absolutely uses Spider-Man as a form of self-harm (and also a drug) to numb him from the fact that he still feels powerless. Wade triggers that aspect of him near-constantly, and is unapologetic about exploiting it as a weakness. I feel really satisfied that you understand what I am doing with that aspect of Peter on such an intimate and personal level. I feel like I really accomplished what I wanted to do in writing him by just having (1) person so aptly point out that aspect of his character.

I don't think it's TMI at all when people tell me how they've projected or understood themselves through my writing. It's again, truly the heartbeat behind why I write the way I write. I don't want to put morals in my work, so much as empathic mirrors. I want people to have more understanding toward the inherent complication of our own imperfections. It really, deeply touches me that my work did that for you. I love that you've been working it out in therapy, and I hope you continue figuring out how to untangle that crossover of autonomy/power/control wires in you. I'm proud of you for doing that work, and thank you so much for telling me.

Irondad fic ideas #137

Fic where Tony doesn't just use the time travel device to go into the past. Before even setting out on the heist, he uses it to travel into the future

He does this because, no matter what happens next, he's pretty sure he's not going to survive. He wants to see his daughter all grown up. He wants to see Peter again, see the kind of man he's become

Tony travels forward to some time after NWH. He witnesses what his death has done to his family, to the world. He learns that nobody remembers Peter, that the kid he's about to risk everything for is now all alone

Then, we have a few options!

For maximum angst:

While in the future, Tony speaks to Peter, who at first doesn't believe that he's real. They both get some kind of closure, with Tony finally getting to share how he loves Peter like a son. Then, they go their separate ways. Tony goes back to the past and follows through with his plan

Medium angst:

Same as the first option, but Tony also makes sure to fix some stuff while he's in the future! He reconnects Peter with Pepper, Morgan, Happy, Karen, and FRIDAY, gets the kid a proper suit, and so on

Happy ending:

After witnessing how bad everything is in the future, Tony alters his game plan for fighting Thanos. He does something to make sure that he will survive

Also, after his discussion with Peter, he's even more determined than ever to tell the kid how much he means to him. He can't let the kid keep stewing in insecurities and doubts

Combination!

Medium angst timeline happens, but then Tony also decides to fix things when he gets back to the present, creating a branch in the timelines!
