#nothing makes you question yourself and your ability to find love quite like someone youve know for half your life getting engaged

[probsnothawkeye]

Within the past week one of my best friends who I've known since the 5th grade got engaged to her high school sweetheart who is also one of my dear friends

And I became obsessed with a Finnish singer/rapper who should've won Eurovision

• like how he stopped wearing his adorable glasses

•and i guess started almost bulking up????

• he got WAY taller

• and usually you’re used to seeing him shirtless but this one time you walked in on him

• holy mother of god

• IT WAS LIKE HE GREW ABS OVER NIGHT

• BECAUSE FRESHMAN PETE DID NOT HAVE A 6 PACK

• freshman peter also got winded walking up the stairs

• AND NOW HE’S RUNNING LAPS IN GYM LIKE ITS NOTHING ??

• must be nice

• but then things got more sus

• all of a sudden he was skipping class more

• leaving early

• cancelling study sessions and skipping movie nights with ned

• “okay but how come you don’t have any social media under your name?”

• “wdym?”

• “like you go by ‘y/n Smith’ but everything that pops up on the internet isn’t YOU”

• “pfff i told you,,, i dont believe in that stuff”

• “y/n, you know you can tell me anything”

• you wanted to be honest. this was one of your best friends. and you’ve been lying to them about your family for over a year now

• “ned i just. it’s complicated”

• “like peter’s family?”

• “nonono, i’m lucky to have both of my parents- well i have a step mom. my real mom wanted nothing to do with me. so she left me on the steps of my dads house. never came back”

• “oh shit bro, i’m sorry”

• “nah don’t worry. my dad is really cool and my step mom... she’s awesome.”

• “what’re their names”

• NATASHA WAS GONNA KILL YOU IF SHE COULD SEE HOW BAD YOU WERE STRUGGLING

• “well- uh- my step moms name is,,, um. well her real name is Virginia”

• “you’re a horrible liar”

• “PFFF WHAAAT? NO IDEA WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT”

• “dude you left your spiderman fan tumblr open on my laptop that one night,,, and i MAY have done some snooping”

• okay you mightve had a slight obsession with the webslinger. HE WAS COOL. and what better way to keep track of him without alerting your family,,, good ol tumblr

• oh god ned, HOW MUCH SNOOPING”

• “enough to know that you have a weird obsession with that spider guy and that your last name isnt smith”

• so you told him the truth. you were a stark

• and well,,, he reacted with

• “okay cmon,,, don’t lie”

• so you showed him your late night dance parties with Nat when she was feeling goofy

• and your random snaps of steve when he was trying to figure out how to work technology

• videos of you reacting to vines with bucky

(if yall wanna see domestic life with the avengers just lmk)

• which usually results with THE WINTER SOLDIER ALMOST PEEING HIS PANTS. and trying to reenact it with sam or the other avengers

• “heyheyehy y/n guess what?”

• “what bucky?” *is in the middle of doing hw*

• “FRESHOVACADO” *bolts out of the room before you throw something at him*

• only the two of you getting vine and meme references

• (meaning getting in trouble during meetings bc you’ll make eye contact and start laughing)

• OH HIS FAVORITE IS THE “country boiiii, i love you,,, 😛”

• anywaayyy

• ned was SHOOK

• “nowayohmygodyoureanavenger”

• “no ned,,, only when they need me to be”

• *led to him asking 100000 questions*

• “does Mr. America smell like old man”

• “what language does Ms. Widow think in”

• “how many shirts does Mr. Hulk own”

• “so do they wear normal clothes or are they always PREPARED”

• “does your dad have to walk a weird way when hes in his suit”

• “do they ever chafe in their suits”

• “yes ned. we’re stocked up on baby powder”

• which you didnt mind bc it felt nice telling the truth

• ned WANTED TO TELL PETER SO BAD

• “ned no, i don’t want him to think of me differently”

• he understood. but still defended peter and said that hed still treat you the same

• anyway,,, peter started showing up with bruises and stuff which had you v concerned

• “pete what’s up? you’ve been avoiding ned and i and you have skipped out on every movie night since sophomore year started”

• “t’s nothing. dont worry ab it”

• “peter cmon, it’s just me”

• you figured maybe it had to do with ben??? but you gave him his space. you just wanted to be there for him yanno. you didnt want him to shut you out

• “Y/N I SAID ITS NOTHING. FOR FUCKS SAKE CAN YOU LEAVE ME ALONE???” he snapped (and not in the good way)

• and this was on your way to class so the whole hallway heard

• ouch

• so you left him alone. probably more than he meant. but it hurt

• i mean he was your first friend here, and now he yelled at you to leave you alone

• ned felt awful at first. trying to comfort you and tell you it wasnt your fault

• but then he started acting weird. whenever you brought up peter hed be super antsy about it

• you- “i think he got into another fight or something”

• ned- “pFFT PETER? FIGHTING? no way,,, i got-i gotta go”

• so you figured that whatever peter was hiding, ned knew about,, which also hurt your feelings

• so you closed off

• and wow could the super family tell something was wrong

• wanda- “little stark, i can feel your sadness all the way to my room”

• sam/bucky/rhodes- “okay what’s the deal, we’ve played 5 rounds of fortnite and you havent once rage quit even though you’re doing terrible”

• tony- “kid, what’s wrong? everyone here can tell you’re not feeling great”

• nat- “cmon. ive given you 3 opportunities to kick my ass and you havent once complained about me going easy?”

• thor- “lady y/n what is causing you distress? not once have you smiled, i even wore my hair in pigtails,,, and that seems to always do the trick”

• and you gave the same response every time “‘m just tired” “lots of homework”

• they noticed you werent going out on weekends anymore

• so tony figured that your friend group and you were having some Stuff

• pep gave him an idea of meeting his new prodigy

• now tony knew it’d be kinda sus because peter went to midtown but he figured that if the kid kept his mask on it’d be fine

• “dad i don’t wanna see another one of your weird maid robots”

• “wha- no i want you to meet someone”

• “dad college isn’t for another 2 years. if it’s your friend from MIT-“

• then right before your eyes was the insect boy that youve been admiring through the internet

• needless to say

• your jaw dripped

• “y/n meet spiderling, spiderling meet my daughter y/n stark”

• *seconds pass*

• “i uh- oH- um- sp-spidERman, h-hi. biG fan of you- your work”

• *silence*

• you- “oH dad diD you hear th-that? moM is calling mE”

• tony- “what?? pep wouldve called on the interco-“

• spiderman- “y/n”

• you- SHOOK TO THE CORE BECAUSE YOU KNEW THAT VOICE. THAT WAS THE VOICE THAT SOUNDED LIKE HONEY BUT COULD CUT YOU DEEPER THAN ANY WEAPON IN YOUR HOUSE

• you- “p-peter???”

• tony- *shocked pikachu face* “you know each other???”

• you- “so-something like that yeah”

• peter takes off his mask

• “ohmygodpeterisspiderman”

• “ohmygodyourlastnameisntsmith”

• tony- “im gonna let you guys figure this out” *walks backward slowly*

*insert silence*

• you- “so this is what you were hiding, huh?” with a cold tone

• “IM HIDING? YOU LIED ABOUT YOUR WHOLE HOME LIFE TO NED AND I”

• *yelling at each other for another minute. even though you couldnt hear what the other is saying*

• you- *yelling loudest “I DIDNT WANT YOU TO SEE ME DIFFERENTLY OKAY”

• peter- “you really thought id do that?” (heartbreaking voice)

• you- “i- once i got to know you, i knew you wouldnt but i was scared. i didn’t know how to tell you. for once in my life i had found someone my age who liked ME for ME. not for my name or money or my dad. and i didn’t want to change that. i’m sorry i didn’t tell you sooner”

• peter- “... i get what you mean. after ben died everyone gave me that look. except you and ned.”

• you- “why didn’t you tell me”

• peter- “everyone i love or ever cared about dies. my parents and then my uncle ben. so once i got my abilities i knew that the risk was even higher and i didn’t want to put you in that position. i wanted to keep you safe. but it seems like you know how to handle yourself” (referring to the fact that you grew up with THE EARTHS MIGHTIEST HEROS)

• y/n- “so how come ned found out?”

• peter *scratches back of neck* “well- he- i- May let him in my room and i happen to be crawling on the ceiling in my suit and he dropped the death star” *head hangs in shame*

• you had to giggle at that i mean CMON

• you stepped closer to him

• “pete you’re my best friend. you can tell me anything okay?”

• “no more secrets?”

• “no more secrets”

• and you both pinky promise and your thumbs “kiss” bc IF THEY ITS THE ULTIMATE UNBREAKABLE VOW DONT @ ME

• peter parker gives you the biggest hug that maKES YOUR HEART JUMP BC PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH A PERSON AS PRETTY AS HIM MAKES YOUR HEART FEEL A CERTAIN WAY

• but you wrapped your arms around his neck and enjoyed the moment

• wow he is really cozy

• * the avengers are watching from the cameras in awe*

• led to MANY questions at dinner

• and so everything went back to “normal”

• it wasn’t until you went to bed that night that you realized peter said the L word

• WHAT

• so much for no secrets

11 questions tag

i was tagged by the lovely @moonbeams-and-sanshine (’:

If you could spend the day with any bias besides your ult, who would you choose and what would you do?

to be honest, i don’t really stan any groups besides astro even though i listen to a ton of kpop,,, but if i had to choose i would spend the day with inseong from knk because he makes everything more wild. idk we’d probably play xbox connect or go to an arcade

What’s something that makes you really happy?

OKAY I LOVE TOUCHY FEELY FRIENDSHIPS OR RELATIONSHIPS cuddling will make me so so so happy,,, like having someone just hug or hold me for a long time will make me feel complete. if you just like hold my hand my life will get better

What food do you want to try the most and what food disgusts you the most?

i really want to try chicken pot pie filling in pillsbury dough and i L O V E chicken pot pie and pillsbury dough. also like i hate boiling water with a raw egg in it and you cook the egg in the water,,, it’s kinda nasty ngl

Are you an Apple person or a Samsung person, or are you neither? Why?

currently im an android person only because the only kind of phone ive had is an android but i like iphones too (they just break so easily)

What dream that you’ve had is your favorite?

i had a dream where i was in a killer dance group and i was able to do a perfect body roll and that by far has been my favorite dream. ngl all the dreams i have are nightmares though so there isn’t really a big pool of good dreams.

What’s your favorite part of the day?

8 pm is just such a prime time to lay down and take a break but it really depends on what the day is. if it’s a weekend id say 8 am is a prime time because i can just do nothing but the weekdays is 8 pm because im usually done with my homework by then.

Is there something you really, really want to do or try? What is it?

every since i saw a choreography video of shape of you by ed sheeran i really wanted to learn how to dance. the only dance experience i have is ballet when i was little but i quit. i like hip hop way more now and i think it would be fun to learn a kpop dance with other friends that can’t dance for heck either

You can do whatever and go wherever for your birthday. What do you do?

as in do whatever do you mean like do whatever without a price ?? i would totally spend the first half of my birthday in south korea and hang out with my besties,, we’d get sushi and mess around and then i would fly back to america (timezones) and spend the whole day with my friend in north carolina and finally get to meet her after years !! we’d cuddle and watch movies or go on walks

What does your dream bedroom look like?

everything with white with soft colors (and lots of brown). there would be fairy lights up around the room and the curtains would let just enough light in in the morning. my bed would be small and against the wall. walk in closet with all my clothes organized. a cute lil rug for me to lay on when i need to lay on the ground. an organized desk against the wall as well with a bookshelf and a cd player that actually matches the room aesthetic

Is there a particular commercial you find annoying?

holy heck i hate the new teennick commercials,,, all i watch is teennick if their old shows are on The New Shows Are So Bad

You can have any animal as a pet, even one that is typically wild, and it would be completely tame. What animal do you choose?

(pikachu! i choose you!!) i would still have a dog. probably a shibe and we’d be best friends (’:

alright it’s time for my 11 questions:

1. what ice cream flavor would you be and why?

2. what’s your favorite season and why? do you have a certain aspect of that season that you love the most?

3. who is your ult bias? why are they your ult?

4. you get to choose your animal side kick. what kind of animal? do they have their own special abilities? can they talk?

5. if you could be best friends with one idol, who would it be? what would you do together?

6. would you change your name? what would you change it to?

7. what’s your dream job?

8. what’s your wardrobe like?

9. do you like the color brown? why or why not?

10. would you rather live in a utopian society or a medieval fantasy world? why?

11. describe yourself as if you were a chef on chopped. what would you say about yourself?

i tag @calcifer-rose @shiningstar-sanha and @moonbeaned and whoever else wants to do this,,, if youve already did it then don’t do it idk man

Something To Reach For

Jessica Hagy wrote a book, “How To Be Interesting (In 10 Simple Steps),” (©2013, Workman Publishing Company).  While it is not my life goal to be an ‘interesting’ person, I am always looking for ways to improve myself.  Everyone, and I mean everyone, should always look for ways to improve themselves.  Can you imagine how much better the world would be if we all said to ourselves, “What can I do today to fix my own life?  How can I change my negative or destructive ways of thinking?”  It’s a lofty goal.  But, hey, we all needs goals, huh?

These are some of the points I took away for myself.  Give the book a look-see, and, trust me, you’ll find something that fits into your life.

Childlike, not childish. Look with open eyes.  Remember how amazing the world was before you learned to be cynical.  See the neat things.  The messy things.  The funny things.  Less crankiness.  More marveling.

Cross Pollinate.  Youve got a thing, a schtick, a specialty.  And so does everybody else.  Don’t just associate with folks who do what you do.  Seek out those with different passions.  You’ll be able to experience exponentially more.

Compliment liberally.  Kind words are quite precious and cost nothing; it’s surprising that they’re so rare.  Laud what you enjoy.  Praise the people who excel in novel ways.  Do it publicly and often.  Everyone needs more encouragement.

Do something.  Anything.  Dance.  Talk.  Build.  Network.  Play.  Help.  Create.  It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you’re doing it.  Sitting around and complaining is not an acceptable form of “something,” in case you were wondering.

Do what you want.  Yes, you.  If it is unappetizing: Do not eat, date, or sign up for it.  If the mere thought of it is depressing: Do not major in it, sit through it, or devote your life to it.  If it is not important to you: Do not do it only because it is important to someone else.  You will thank yourself.

Give yourself some credit.  You deserve a chance.  You deserve to have fun.  You deserve to be happy.  You’ve got abilities and curiosities and things to offer.  So go on, jump in there.  Not only is there room for you, there’s a need for you.  Really.

Ditch the junk.  Not every activity is worthwhile.  Not every dreadful task in mandatory.  Avoid the things that drag you down and make you weary.  And if you must do them (laundry, taxes), then do them with gusto and put them out of your mind.  You’ll have more room for what matters.  More room for what’s interesting.

Find yourself a hero.  Seek someone who makes you smile.  Someone who lives the way you want to.  Someone you admire.  Someone real and imperfect.

Embrace your weirdness.  No one is normal.  Everyone has quirks and insights unique to themselves.  Don’t hide these things - they are what make you interesting.

Alter the uniform.  Dress up.  Dress down.  Grab a pail for the seashore.  Put on a hat only you like.  Put on what makes you feel like yourself.  Sometimes the right pair of shoes can make you feel better in your own skin.

Be yourself in public.  Leave the house as yourself.  Be yourself at work.  Wear your personality proudly.  Don’t censor your skills or hide your unique features.  To have a difference is to have an identity.  To make it public is to be truly yourself.

Do not fake it.  Costumes.  Poses.  False smiles and forced conformity.  It all gets in the way of what’s truly interesting.  You are innately unique: There’s no need to hide behind an ill-fitting mask.

No more apologizing.  You are not wrong to be unique.  You are not incorrect because you are different.  You should not be sorry for being interesting.

Smile at sneers.  Not everyone will understand you.  Not everyone will appreciate you.  Not everyone will embrace you.  Do not change for them.  Just smile at them, and move along.

Speak up.  Praise the marvelous.  Shut down the nasty.  Articulate what others are afraid to say out loud.  Further the discourse.

Anything is better than nothing.  Actions matter.  Even small ones.

Minimize the swagger.  Egos get in the way of ideas.  If your arrogance is more obvious than your expertise, you are someone other people avoid.

Just listen.  To what is said and what is left out.  To the messages between the words.  To the tone of voice.  To the sarcasm and to the reverence.  Communcation is far more than just words.

Drop the titles.  Kings and Queens. Doctors and Lawyers.  Popes and Mayors and Fishmongers.  Prostitutes and Librarians.  It’s not the title that matters; it’s the person behind it.

Admit goofs.  Mistakes happen.  Often.  Sometimes they’re your fault and sometimes theyre your misfortune.  Freely admit to both kinds.

Overstep your bounds.  Just because you’ve never been somewhere doesn’t mean you don’t belong.  Just because it’s not in your job description doesn’t mean you can’t do it.  Only you can really decide what league you really belong in.

Volunteer for the job.  Say, “Yes, I will be there for you.”  Show up, ready for anything.  Put your heart into it.  This is how people begin to fall in love with you, and you with your work.

Have no shame.  Sing badly and loudly.  Skip down the street.  Go to that open mic night.  Uncensor your personality.  More people will smile than laugh, and if they laugh, that’s their sad problem.

Question ubiquity.  Just because it’s everywhere doesn’t mean it’s good or worth participating in.

Your dream = your problem.  If you have a personal dream or a wish or a desire, know that you’re the only one who gives enough damns to see it realized.

Jettison toxic cargo.  If you’ve got bad memories attached to places, things, and even people: Let them go.  You will feel lighter almost immediately.

Don’t take advice from people you don’t respect.  Unless you want to turn out like them.  Which you obviously don’t.

Forgive.  Most people, even the nasty ones, are doing the best they can.  They may not deserve your love and admiration, but your scorn burns the both of you.

Trust your talents.  Whoever said you just weren’t (__________) enough was an ass.  And they were wrong.

Give extra chances - especially to yourself.  If you’re not dead, you can still change things.

These are my personal take-aways from this book.  And I thank Jessica Hagy for giving us these valuable life lessons.  Please don’t sue me.
