#mostly (h)armless

[xannador]

The finale of Mostly (h)Armless goes live on Patreon this Friday. The public release is 2 weeks after, on Friday the 31st.

I'm... honestly still devastated by the news about Tango Gameworks. It's hard to put into words. Other people have described how much of a tragedy it is much better than I could have.

Working in the game industry myself, I can only imagine how the team feels. It's one thing to have your studio shut down when you've produced a failure, it's another to have it happen when you've published hit after hit.

I hope the team of Tango Gameworks know that their work is, and will always be, loved.

warm up sketch dump under the cut i did while reading @xannador’s mostly (h)armless! its a little old since ive been sitting on this for a while lol

[shapeshift16]

Slight warning but I decided to take the Chai pony form I draw him as and twisted it.. based off the Mostly (H)armless comic by @xannador here's the sketch version using the most recent page as a reference.

Any parts where shading is placed is where Blood is, so the colored version will have a blood warning..

[xannador]

Wow! Thank you so much for the fanart! It continues to amaze me that people like my weird comic project so much they take a significant amount of time out of their day to make fanart of it, especially fanart with so much thought and artistry put into it. I actually learned something new today from your explanation lol The themes and symbolism are all very fitting! Spiders and self-sacrifice aren't something you expect in the same sentence but that's M(h)A for ya. I also love the bold and saturated colors, really makes it stand out.

What a wonderful piece of art! Quite book cover worthy imo! Thank you!

a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye / nothing remains, nothing rewinds

thinking about the vampire show. still

okay so louis & claudia come into paris in the back of a van that's also transporting the venus de milo, & then when he visits the louvre with armand in 2x03 'no pain' he sees her again & says "remember me?" as armand is walking towards the gallery. i like this because it is fun but why specifically the venus de milo. am i meant to think about her armlessness, which lends her the irrefutable quality of an object; the repeated references in the books to vampires' marble-like skin; her contested interpretation; love returning 'home'? right after louis says that ('remember me?') he makes that little comment to armand—'classic lioncourt'—and dreamstat materializes. there are probably other things to think about too, like i bet there is some kind of specific reference being made but i am simply uncultured & missed it. anyway yay art

so in 1x01 lestat cajoles louis into his home, puts the visiting miss lily to sleep, kisses him passionately, then drinks his blood; we see them do their sexy little christ-pose hover, then we cut to louis falling asleep, lestat reaching over to heal the puncture wounds on his neck, and then there's a cut to louis putting his cravat on while he tells us in voiceover that he didn't think of himself as homosexual. we also see him in the confessional, obviously: 'i run to bad beds. i laid down with a man. i laid down with the devil.' but the problem i am having is that did he in fact have sex with lestat? i gather that in the books the vampires don't have sex the way humans do & all of it is about blood sharing, so i agree that in the vampire sense they did, but louis wasn't a vampire! did they have sex? that's the interpretation he went with at the time, but it's not obvious to me that that's what he actually described as happening. the question is complicated on two sides here, both the 'what even is vampire sex' query & the conventions of broadcast television. i think both of these problems are interesting but mostly i am asking because the first time i watched it i went 'oh my god lestat waited to fuck him until they were married, EDWARD CULLEN ASS' and laughed for like five minutes. and i want everyone else to have this thought with me

related point i have a lazy theory about this show which is that every episode contains a line of background dialogue that expresses that episode's thesis. i haven't decided what all of them are but i think all or most of them have one, and i think the first episode's thesis comes to us from bricktop: "you can't put a dick in an asshole without asking, that's against jesus." yes ma'am it is, i love you, thank you for so memorably expressing the fundamental question this episode is asking, which is: did louis consent? what did he consent to? & we see louis claim that he did consent & that his consent mattered, even though he still describes lestat as a predator ('i was being hunted, and i had absolutely no idea', 'he would not let me'). he consented, at the time, to having sex with lestat, but he didn't know what that meant to lestat (like, specifically in terms of what they were doing); he consented, at the time, to being turned into a vampire, but he didn't fully understand what that would mean (not sure this is possible to convey until it happens? but also lestat did not really try).

other lines that i think are thesis line candidates include 'the king's hair has betrayed him' in 2x07 (but i acknowledge that i might be totally wrong about that & just enjoying the pun) and 'god will forget when you die. no, god will remember when you die!' from emilia in 2x01, on memory, death, and god (reading it against lestat's 'nous sommes les dieux' later in the season), also perhaps about bargains. not sure that's a theme. but that's just my opinion man. if you disagree or have other lines you think are episode-significant please tell me!!

it has been said many times before but the casting on this show is unreal, currently by this i mean 'how did they get two different but completely perfect claudias, wow'

speaking of claudia, her little back-and-forth with louis about emily dickinson in 1x06 is so high-quality, very charming & also a funny way to explain that claudia is a lesbian. i love gay people [okay i am not actually committed to insisting that claudia would describe herself as a lesbian especially given that rice vampires are as a rule all, um. nondiscriminating. but let me have this]

i love louis in 1x04 saying about claudia 'all vampires are born from trauma' in a level, conversational voice, like he's saying something cliché not worth exploring further. right now it is my favorite line read in season one but that will change in five minutes probably. my favorite line read in season two is armand saying 'his worshipful mercy', assad zaman genius

[thehangeddemon]

Xavier had been soft banned from Rohan's cabin. His exact words to Abel upon return from Greensboro. The lie had been successful; at least it had seemed that way. Simon seemed surprised by the amount of ash he'd been handed, but not for how little.

Must have been indoors, his step-sire commented. Being so light, most ashes were stolen by a breeze.

It had been Pavel, Simon's eldest son, that followed MJ's every move. The one that asked of Holden White's family. And the one breathing deeply as MJ saluted his goodbye.

But none of that was on MJ's mind tonight. Third night in a row pacing back and forth at the foot of Holden's bed. Waiting, watching, waiting. Torpor could last for years, he'd heard. His own never lasted so long, and he didn't expect it to with this boy, but his patience had never been his strong suit.

Two bags of blood on the bedside table. Two more in the fridge. One gently sloshed between MJ's hands. Where Xavier got this much blood was anyone's guess. Athletes was the general answer, but he began wondering if the servants of the grand house had lent a hand on such short notice.

He'd been tempted for a taste of each when the lanky dead body on the bed began to stir. Began to breathe. Wouldn't have been his first instinct, but MJ froze, watching as Holden struggled to breathe evenly. Winced and groaned, rolling onto his armless side. A quick realization that had the fledgling sitting up with a start. Now short, rapid-fire breaths. Wild eyes dancing about the room in confusion.

Rohan Dalca would hear those stirrings differently. Groans, panting, whimpering, groans of the old bed. The patter of feet. The crashing of two bodies and the sharp clack of a falling chair.

"Easy! Easy!" he'd hear behind the door. The panicked scream of their newest member. Silence for a beat. The shuffle and thumps of a moving body.

"There ya go. Fuckin' H. Christ, man. Drink."

Rohan had spent the past three days on tenterhooks. There was nothing left to clean in the entire cabin. Nothing left to organize or fledgling-proof or occupy his hands and time. It was nothing but a waiting game now.

He’d been trying and mostly failing to read for the third night in a row when he finally heard noise coming from behind the locked door he pretended he wasn’t watching.

He was on his feet in an instant, casting his book aside to press his ear to the bedroom door. What was happening in there? A struggle to be sure but to what extent?

The last time they’d awoken MJ from torpor his room had been left a disaster but that wasn’t Rohan’s main concern at the moment. Messes could be cleaned; the boy’s mental state was another matter.

He waited a beat before gently knocking on the door. “Is everything all right?” he asked softly. “Are you both okay?”

[xannador]

“Something-something-promises-you-can’t-keep.”

Fantastic rendition of the best duo! It’s so high quality and clean- *chefs kiss* just look at that shirt! It’s a treat to see one of the very few quiet and sweet moments in the story in your art style!

Most of the Chai and 808 interactions are still coming. But their scarcity makes them all the more valuable.

But until then we’re stuck in hell with Chai being meme’d to death by the community for his hubris. 🗿☠️

BNHA Ship to Finish the Year

KotEri (Izumi Kota x Eri Aizawa)

Canon

I like to think that Kota and Eri meet during October. Eri never went trick or treating, and since Kota is a kid her age and Ragdoll is available for taking the door to door, Shota deems it okay.

They met before Halloween night, and it goes okay. Mostly they talk about costumes.

They dress up as LeMillion and Deku. Ragdoll sends a lot of pictures, It's too cute.

From there on out, the two are inseparable. I feel like Kota would be Eri's first friends, and he teaches her the beauty of pranks. Once, they put cooking oil on the floor and watched as Iida went flying into the TV. There is a no running rule now.

I don't think they would go to school together until they go to UA. 

I feel like until then Kota only sees her as a friend until they start high school. Suddenly, the guys of class 1a are talking about who the cutest girl and they all think it's Eri.

He knows he shouldn't, but he is mad about it... Oh no!

I feel that for Eri, it happens later and more slowly. She knows she can trust Kota. Whenever she has a problem or needs someone to talk to, she knows she can trust in him.

By the second year, when I imagine he suddenly hits a growth spurt and enters his emo phase, she realizes he is handsome. 

The two don't say anything until they go to a hero-convention (Deku Merch!) and one of the ex-Hassaikai attacks as a villain and recognizes Eri.

Kota helps her by taking her around the city, and when they get to a Sakura tree, Eri leans in and kisses him. He obviously returns it, and they start dating.

They keep it a secret for as long as they can, since Aizawa is the principal and very protective of his daughter. However, once he finds out, his trust in Kota is completely broken. He is not welcome in their home anymore.

However, Shinsou is weaker against Eri's puppy eyes.

I don't know why, but I would love a fic about them like this:

"Hey Izu-kun, you know how to drive right? And your aunt's and uncle let you take their car whenever?"

"Yeah, why?" "I need you to drive me somewhere?" "Sure, where?" "Tartarous," "... alright."

"So, why am I driving you to Tartarous?" "Oh, I want to talk with Chisaki," "*stops abruptly* WHAT!? You want to talk with the man that tortured you since you can remember and made your life a living hell!? WHY!?!?"

"I need closure. I know I might never be able to forget him and what he did, but I can't freeze every time somebody mentions him. I need to do this, I need to move on,"

He goes with her, as moral support. It kind of helps seeing him armless, behind bars and defeated, but Eri simply tells him she is moving on with her life and he should too.

After it, they go for ice-cream and a walk in the beach (I like to think this is a favourite date for them). I think it's a very romantic moment until Shinsou interrupt them.

Her family was made aware that she visited Chisaki and have been looking for her like crazy.

Family

Aizawa is not happy when he finds out. This is what happens:

*Eri comes in with Kota. The two have smoothies, Kota a blue one and Eri a red one* "Hi dad! We are going to be in my room studying! Don't interrupt us!" "Alright!"

*An hour later* "Eri, Mic is going to be home in a few minutes, we'll have dinner when he arrives. Is Kota staying?" "No, his aunt is picking him up in a bit," "...Why is your tongue purple?" "Oh... um... maybe it was the smoothie," "You had a red smoothie... and Kota had a blue... one..." 

*He realizes what happened and starts stomping up the stair, Eri behind him, telling him to calm down. He slams the door open and sees Kota, with his hair messed and his lips covered in lip gloss, throwing himself off the window.* "Come here, you traitor!"

Aizawa calls a family meeting, and even Shinsou who has his own home has to come. He is ready to expel him, he feels betrayed. He trusted that kid in his home, and he takes advantage of his daughter? I don't think so! He is going to die.

Hizashi cries, his baby girl is replacing him. (I headcanon that she would die her hair to look like a rainbow, and Kota helps her, instead of Hizashi)

Shinsou is the one who sides with Eri, reminding his parents that she is old enough to make a decision like this, and they should trust her. "Besides, I was her age when Kaminari and I started doing stuff," "What?" "What?" "I don't live here anymore, I don't have to keep secrets,"

Shinsou lets her come to his home to get ready for her dates, so that Koda doesn't have to fear for his life in their living room. However, he still threatens him.

"For some reason, you make Eri happy. But if that changes, and you make her sad, you are going to wish, Midoriya never saved you from Muscular," "H-how do you know that?" "I know everything. Have fun on your date!"

The WWP are embarrassing. They have a photo album ready, they tell Eri how much he talks about her.

They also have an open-door policy, but Koda is a rebel and doesn't follow the rule. However, they found a way around it.

*comes in without knocking* "Hey kiddos, want some cookies?" "No, Aunt. We are fine," "Alright, just keep the door open!"

*comes in without knocking* "Hey lovebirds, are you thirsty? I made some lemonade!" "We are fine, Pixie-bob," "Alright, just keep the door open!"

*comes in without knocking* "Have you seen the cat?" "We don't have a cat, Ragdoll!" "Oh, right! Keep the door open!"

But when he locks the door:

*BANG!* "Aaaaahhhh!" "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" "Tiger! Did you just kick the door open!?" "Yes! Remember to keep the door open!"

Also, when they found out, the WWD follows them on their date. They need pictures.

The problem is that Kota and Eri are not on a date. They are helping Katsumo give a tour of the city to his sister. They all notice the four pros following them, Kota tells them to ignore them.

I feel like Deku would be happy for them. His first fans are so cute together. 

AU - Band AU

This is a modern setting au.

So, Eri was adopted into music. After she was rescued from Chisaki, she was adopted by Present Mic and his husband, Aizawa.

Present Mic is a famous radio host, and before that, he and Aizawa and Oboro played in a band together. Now, Aizawa is a music manager for young artist, in between those there is 1A band.

As she grows up, she is introduced to music, and it becomes one of the best things in her life. She is a great singer, and she also learns how to play the piano.

She want to have a career in music, so when she is a teen, at UA school, she joins the music club.

She is trying to form a band, and along the way she finds Katsuma, who becomes the bassist, Tamashiro on the drums, and they only need a guitarist and vocalist.

Enter Bad boy Kota. His parents were musicians that died in a boat accident, and so Kota now lives his aunt and their dancing group, The Wild Wild Pussycats.

He used to love music, but now it's only a reminder of who he lost.

But one day, Eri hears him sing. She asks if he would want to join their band. He refuses and leaves, but that is not the last he sees of Eri.

The two are paired for some school work, and while working on it, Eri starts singing, and it wakes something in him.

Kota doesn't know what it was, but suddenly, he felt as if he was with his parents again.

He tells her that he'll join her band temporarily, at least so he has enough time to figure out what was that feeling.

They are all ecstatic, and they start playing together.

Eri and Kota are the ones who most clash since he is really into rock and edgy stuff, and she is more cute and pop style.

However, the two spend a lot of time together.

Kota wants to understand how Eri makes him feel stuff, and Eri doesn't really mind his company, so she lets him stay. She was always very shy, so it's hard for her to make friends without recurring to music.

At some point, Eri tells Kota about her life as Chisaki's toy, and it makes him realize why Eri is so special.

She is real, she suffered and survived, and now she can keep smiling. Which Kota never got to, he never moved on from his parents death, and still hold on to the rage and sadness.

Kota also opens up to Eri, and he tells her about his parents death and his departure from music.

Eri asks him to sing with her, and when they do, Kota feels like he has his parents back. It brings him to tears, but Eri hold him.

The band present themselves to the talent show of the school and somehow end up winning. 

During the celebration party, Kota and Eri kiss.

Fanon Opinion

I'm sorry, but I don't feel comfortable writing NSFW stuff about Kota or Eri.

I know that I age up everybody, and I did so with these two, too, but I can't.

I can't picture them as nothing, but children and I am not going to write PWP about that. 

I don't they would do it until their third year, but I do think that they make out.

I think this is a very cute couple. They have that puppy-love thing going for them. 

Also, I love this because it would be a good thing for Eri. We just want good things for Eri.

And I know that Eri is older than Kota, and supposedly she should be his senpai. But with all the emotional baggage she has, I think it makes sense that she would start school a little later.

I think that they would be a beach and parks couple. In summer, they go to the beach, while in the winter they hang around the park.

I feel like they would love to go camping.

Also, they match. They are horn buddies.

Also, Tik-Tok has a lot of stuff about them, so I recommend seeing them. I got the Band AU idea from it.

I imagine that they would become heroes when they are older. Eri would be like a new recovery girl, but scarier, and Kota would torture the children when they go to the training camp.

In my mind, Eri uses Aizawa's capture weapon, but she has it wrapped around her arms, covering her scars.

Also, while they are at the dorms, they are the Parent Couple. The two take care of their classmates with Kota stopping them from doing stupid shit and lecturing them, and Eri comforting them and healing their bruises.

Also, if Katsuma goes with them to class, he would be the baby.

"Oh, No! This is Bad! This is Bad! Stress is bad for the baby!"

"What baby?"

"ME! I'm the baby!"

And since Mostly (H)armless, Chai has something else in common with Rex aside from having the same Japanese VA: both end up short an eye ._.

if I had a nickel for every time I played a game where an mc loses their right arm I’d have 3 nickels. which isn’t a lot but its weird that it’s happened 3 times in a row

[marsixxart]

mars reacts to tpot 1

i’ve seen other people doing it and i decided to try it out too! i wanted to document my reaction so i can look back and laugh at my probably wrong theories when the new episode comes out :) i also have thoughts i wanted to share with others, so let’s get on with it!

oh, so they know about the prize switching back to bfdi

too late, yellow face >:/ (also your warehouse was ransacked, thought you should know)

oh, i thought two was gonna make their own elimination method since cake at stake was kinda four’s thing.

two, no one’s gonna hear you with your inside voice!

gasp! how dare you call mangosteen, the queen of fruits, a purple tomato! (they’re really delicious btw)

i see, two’s thing is clapping.

while cake at stake’s going on, i sure hope they pick two RCs since they’re, y’know two. i would’ve thought they liked the number two. also it wouldn’t be equal anyways. alot of these RCs looked really cool so it was hard to choose just one.

avocado: maybe you should learn a thing or two about suspense.

oooh, burn!

nickel: three of them? but... i only see two. (nickel says while looking at two)

i looove winner, but i sure hope price tag wins!

two: the next one out is.... taggy.

no!

wait rlly? two’s a prime number?

n..no.... it’s an even prime, not a...  i expected better from you, tb.

gb: we’ll have to add somebody!

yay, i was right! but the second most voted RC is nonexisty and i like them but... not gonna lie, it’d be a waste of a character slot.

two: taggy, welcome to the power of two!

YAY!!

price tag: i take back all the things i said about winner while i was down there >:)

h-

um, pda is trying to break out.

donut: cool, so you wanna stay on the same team?

naily: no.

but... the memories they made together..

is needle still photoshopped or is that her normal asset?

yay, w.o.a.h bunch!

pfft- winner is scratching his back-

chicken nuggets!

winner’s backstory made me sad, how a duo separated and ended up with one of them bathing in the spotlight while the other was forgotten. it got pretty deep. or maybe that’s just me.

performing.. touring.. what IS loser’s career, anyway? any ideas?

are you guys really friends though, cake? you forgot about clock last time..

yeah, eggy’s right. sorry cake.

naily really be taking advantage of cake’s situation and asked him to join her team lol.

puffball joining a team with basketball in it would be pretty awkward since she impersonated her back at bfb 12 which lead to basketball losing gb’s trust in the first place.

pie: did pen even prevent death at all?

remote: not that i remember.

but pen helped back at ep 4!

i’m kinda glad pillow’s gone. i don’t trust her but i’ll rant about her later. 

pen: i was leaving anyways. later, haters!

):

wooow, gb. ily but that’s not very nice.

aw, rocky!

oof, but i can’t blame gaty.

i’m... trying to make sense of book’s anatomy. also, pillow, that is VERY rude and disrespectful.

clock: hey, icy. we’re still in a truce, right? wanna team up?

what truce? (i realized he meant the truce back at bfb 1 several minutes after watching the episode)

yeah, lightning! stand up to sb!

bell, that’s not very nice either!

robot flower: this’ll be your first time being in a team with no other balls.

that doesn’t really matter though?

i had to replay what cloudy said three times to understand. mostly because i got distracted by winner’s voice.

cloudy, don’t even think about collecting winner.

bottle: i’m gonna go where the fun is. that’s the team for me!

D: my bottlextree ship...

aww, i’m glad lightning is trying to become a better person!

who’s the last person? ...oh, it’s sb.

wow, sb’s in a team full of armless people (mostly female too) and he’s not throwing a tantrum over it? he really IS trying to uphold his dignity.

tb, no!!! you ruined it!

hey, w.o.a.h bunch isn’t stupid! it’s a genious name!

donut and barf bag at the back, just so done haha.

i. don’t. trust. pillow. copying book isn’t helping. she’s reading book like.. a book!

they’re gonna switch the colours, aren’t they? ....yup. i like the change of scenery, though!

THE INTRO. THE. INTRO. OMG IT’S SO ANIME. they didn’t even HAVE to make the animation so smooth and fluid and i feel blessed this intro must’ve come from heaven i’m so happy i feel like bawling it’s beautiful it’s amazing the animators are so talented did they actually manage to fit 42 characters in it-

two: going back down is against the rules!

wait, you meant it like that?? oh no!

is puffball incapable of growing larger now? what happened?

clock: i see. ice cube: wha?

ohh i get it. i didn’t notice it before when i first watched it, but ice cube thought clock said icy.

winner, you dare touch clock’s ticking clock hands?!

oh, marker is thinking! good for you, but that plan won’t work.

is there a difference between a trebuchet and a catapult?

this tree is still yellow. wait, are those pin’s blueberries? they’re so big now!

oh no, they overshot it! oh, it’s fine. the tree will act as a catapult and get them- aaaand they’re going back and forth. puffball, help!

cursed. but yay for team are you okay!

two: gasp! are you okay?

that’s going to be a running gag, isn’t it? lol.

i think it should count too.

ahh, so that’s what the tpot release date reveal clip was showing. i recognized pin and needle’s point, but i thought they were trying to break the RCs out or smthg.

gaty: magnet powers, activate!

wh- huh? since when was that a thing?!

cake: y’know, i could really go for some-

-chicken nuggets right now!

i sure hope death pact again wins!

oh no! black holes aren’t known-

remote: oh no! black holes aren’t known for their sense of hearing!

dangit, tree.

fanny: then let’s throw something else!

good idea! what about marker’s cap? ...or that, i guess.

so THAT’S what marker was trying to do. good work!

nooo! death pact again is UFE...

it’s not your fault, lightning!

omg haha! i like two, but making fun of him is so much fun! XD two haters must be enjoying this right now. they wouldn’t even dare do that to four, huh. OMG GRASSY IS ATTACKING TWO TOO- YEAH YOU GO GRASSY!

other, final thoughts

the team logos, jingles and names are rad! well, except for maybe ‘the s’. that’s... an unfortunately stupid name.

so far, bottle is the only one who died. i wonder how two recovers dead contetants?

four never had a problem with projecting their voice, even being able to do it as far as outer space. (bfb 15) this probably has something to do with his ability to screech people to near death, an ability he uses often in the past. this is why the contestants can’t hear two too well like they used to with four. it’s because four’s vocal chords are way stronger compared to two. in conclusion, four is better than two.

i’m happy to see new unexpected dynamics between the characters like basketball and snowball (never thought i’d see those two interact), and lightning and fanny (both originally in iance) as the new death pact members. can’t wait to see them prevent death!

the EXITors’ 2nd attempt happened at the end of bfb 17 but i didn’t notice anything different with four or the bfb episodes. i wonder what happened?

on an unrelated note, there’s something i wanted to point out back in bfb 18, when four said there wasn’t enough room in the EXIT which makes... no sense. i mean, loser and spongey escaped the EXIT so there should be two spots left, right?

winner is either incapable of eating through his mouth, or it’s just his preferred method of food digestion by absorbing it. i wonder if he can absorb other things as well? if so, can he taste it too? i sure hope not. that’d be really disturbing.

at first, i thought winner was going to be the opposite of loser, in a sense that he’d be hated by the other characters.

i never knew about barf bag’s walking problem theory until recently and as much as i like the idea, she seems to be doing all right so that theory might be debunked.

i don’t like pillow ever since bfb 1. she is one of, heck, probably my LEAST favourite character ever. first, she made the arm-waving theory which lead to teardrop being misunderstood and i won’t stand for that. second, she joined death pact because she heard someone say ‘killing’ which is. not reassuring at all. third, her sacrifice back at bfb 4 didn’t... i still don’t understand what the heck happened back there. she looked like she had ulterior motives! so yeah. thanks for listening to my rant. im sorry if you actually like pillow.

despite that, i enjoyed the episode very very much. i’m really excited to see what else tpot has in store!

You remember meeting Harley in 2013 after your dad, Tony Stark, introduced the two of you. You didn’t have many friends at the time and you dad thought you and Harley would have worked out perfectly.

And you both did. Now, 2023 and the whole Thanos and snap thing had ended, everything seemed to be back to normal. Well, mostly.

When you came back and came to the battle against Thanos’ army, it was a lot to take in all at once. But once the battle was over, everyone was able to relax once more.

Natasha had been lost getting the soul stone with Clint, but a funeral had been made after the battle in her honor. You had loved Nat, she was practically your Aunt and when you first met her, you gave her the name of ‘Auntie Natie’. She loved it and thought of you as the child she could never had. You missed her dearly but without her sacrifice, the remaining Avengers wouldn’t have defeated Thanos.

Bruce, now known as Professor Hulk, had lost his right arm bringing everyone back. But you were forever grateful to him. Clint was now reunited with his snapped away family, but still distraught after losing his best friend. Steve had decided to go back and live the life Tony recommended him, being with Peggy. You supported him with his choice, but you knew Bucky and Sam would miss the old Captain America. Thor went with the Guardians to space and left ‘New Asgard’ in the hands of the new ruler, the Valkryie.

And your father, the famous Iron Man, Tony Stark had defeated Thanos by using the stones and snapping away him and his army. Luckily, he had survived but suffered the same fate as Bruce, losing his right arm. You’d rather have an armless father than none at all. He was extremely lucky but nonetheless, you were just happy to see him.

You and Peter Parker, known as Spiderman and your best friend since you met him in the first year at Midtown High as sophmores, were one of the people snapped away five years ago and now you were back as well as everyone else who was snapped.

Which comes to now, it was now a couple of weeks since then and Nat’s funeral, and your father was getting better, you met your little half sister Morgan (who you immediately fell in love with) and went to start college with Peter, Ned and MJ.

You and Peter had come back from checking out a few colleges that you might go to.

“Dad! Mom! I’m home!” You called out, throwing your keys on the table next to the front door.

“And I am also here!” Peter yelled after you, causing you both to laugh.

“(Y/n)!” You heard a little voice squeal out.

A grin formed onto your face as you kneeled and spread your arms for your little sister to jump into them. You spun Morgan around before attacking her with kisses on her cheeks and forehead.

Peter watched in admiration at the love you and your sister showed. It had only been a couple weeks and you were already wrapped around little Morgoona’s finger. He was too, but he could never match the love you two had.

Peter sighed internally, he’s been wanting to tell you how he felt since the moment you were being dusted away before him. How he urned to hold you in his arms too and kiss you. But you had been friends for four years, how could Peter ruin all of that just from his feelings? So he kept them all to himself.

“How’s my little gumball doing?” You asked Morgan after setting her down.

“Harley’s here! Harley’s here!” Morgan replied, jumping up and down in excitement.

Your grin only grew as you heard the name of your old best friend.

“Harley? Really? Then lead the way!” Morgan grabbed onto your hand and led you towards the couches, leaving a pouting Peter in the doorway.

Once you and Morgan got into the living room, you saw your dad, mom and a familiar brown/blond haired tall boy sitting on the couches facing away from you.

“Harley!” You said, joyfully.

Almost immediately, the said boy turned towards you and a smile broke out on his face.

“(Y/n) oh my god!” You then were tackled into a large bear hug by the boy.

Just then, Peter had walked into the room to see you hugging a random boy he hadn’t seen before. Jealousy bubbled in his chest as he saw the boy hold you, just like how Peter wanted to hold you in his arms.

Tony and Pepper saw the look on Peter’s face when he came in and smirked to each other. They knew the feelings he had for their daughter, although Tony was hesitant to agree to it, he realized Peter had the same look he himself had before he started to date Pepper.

Finally, you and Harley broke apart from the hug and smiled to each other.

“It’s been so long since I’ve seen you!” You said to him.

“You do realize it’s only been like two weeks, right?” You both broke out into laughter before you noticed your other best friend standing a few meters away from you two.

“Oh right! Peter, this is my old best friend, Harley! You remember him from Nat’s...funeral, right?” You were a bit hesitant to mention your Auntie’s funeral but Harley grabbed your hand in comfort when he heard your words grow soft.

Peter was not happy with this action but put on a face smile and held his hand out to Harley.

“Yeah...I remember you. I’m Peter Parker, (Y/n)’s best friend.” The brunette introduced, putting an emphasis on ‘best’.

Harley shook Peter’s hand and said:

“Harley Kenner, I am also (Y/n)’s best friend.” A few seconds of awkward silence went by before you broke it.

“Well...I don’t meant to be rude but, Harley, why are you here? I thought you went back home a while back?” You questioned.

Harley let go of Peter’s hand and turned to you.

“I did but I decided to come back for a couple weeks to help out with Tony. Besides, I couldn’t leave my best friend behind, could I?” Replied Harley, smirking in a casual way.

“Harley will be staying with us for a while until he can go back. But why don’t you guys talk while Tony and I make dinner.” Pepper cut in, getting up from the sofa and helping Tony.

“Can I go play outside?” Morgan asked, pointing to the play fort she made.

“Alright but be careful, don’t go any deeper into the woods.” Tony said. Morgan nodded.

“Can you come play with me, sissy?” The little girl asked.

“Okay but only for a little while.” Soon, you and Morgan were out the door, giggling.

It was just Tony, Harley and Peter in the living room and Peter still seemed to have the fake smile on his face but the ex-Avenger could see right through it.

“I’m gonna go help Pepper. Play nice boys, we just cleaned these floors.” Then Tony left to the kitchen, leaving the two boys in the room.

It was an awkward few minutes of nothing before Peter finally spoke up.

“Soooo....when did you meet (Y/n)?” The spiderboy questioned.

“When I was ten so maybe around 2013? But Tony was the one who introduced us, saying we would get along very well. Since I don’t live here, (Y/n) and I usually just call or text a lot.” Harley laughed at the memory.

“Yeah...Tony said that about me and (Y/n) too. But I met her in my sophomore year.” Peter’s jealousy only grew.

‘Okay so what if he’s known her longer? He lives in somewhere away from here so I shouldn’t worry about that, right??’ Peter thought to himself.

“Alright let’s cut to the chase. I saw the way you looked towards (N/n). You like her, don’t you?” Harley smirked at Peter’s shocked expression.

“W-well...I-I wouldn’t say I-I liked her....b-but she is very pretty and kind and smart...” Peter rambled on about his best friend and crush, making Harley’s smirk deepen.

“Aww...you don’t like her. You LOVE her. That’s adorable.” Harley almost laughed out loud when he saw the red face of Peter Parker.

“W-well what about you? Do you like (Y/n)?” Peter asked but dreaded the answer he didn’t want to hear.

Instead, a low chuckle escaped from the blond boy’s mouth.

“Nope. (Y/n) is my best friend, practically my sister so that would never work out. I love her, just not the way you do.” Harley’s words comforted Peter as he let out a sigh of relief out loud.

“Oh thank god-“

“But dude, you get jealous so easily that I can’t believe you two aren’t even together yet!” Harley exclaimed.

Peter almost faced palmed.

“Is it really that obvious?” Questioned Peter.

“Duh, I saw it, Tony saw it, Pepper saw it. Hell, I think even Morgan saw it!” The boys shared a laugh as Peter became less tense from Harley.

“I would have already asked her out by now but...so much has happened in the past month that it’s hard to find a good time to do so.” Peter said as he looked out the window to see you and Morgan play fighting.

You as the evil dragon and Morgan as the knight. It was an adorable sight and Peter found his eyes on you, your (h/c) hair seemed to glow more today and your (s/c) was smooth as a baby’s bottom. And most importantly, your bright and genuine smile was the cherry on top of your beauty. Peter Parker loved you. He just wished he could say it.

Harley looked to where Peter’s eyes were and saw the same sight that Peter was seeing, only he looked into Peter’s eyes and saw love, admiration and happiness.

“Well today might be a good time.” Harley said, interrupting the hero’s thoughts.

“What do you mean?”

“Look at her, she’s happy, not really busy and there’s no battle happening right now is there?” Peter shook his head. “Then what’s stopping you right now?”

Peter looked at Harley then back to you. He was right, today would be a good time because there was nothing happening at the moment (besides you playing with Morgan). Peter took a deep breath and smiled as confidently as he could.

“You’re right.” Peter felt a hand go on his shoulder and saw Harley giving him a comforting grin.

“Go get her, Peter.”

...

...

...

“Also if you hurt her, I’ll shoot you with my potato gun.”

“Wait what?”
