@inhcritance asked: "i'm retired. sorry." - For TASM or Insom Peter?
"Yeah? Good for you, man," Peter said, a small but genuine smile visible from where he'd rolled up his mask to eat. Sure, this wasn't his universe so someone spotting him sitting on the edge of a building eating a pizza with his mask completely off wouldn't be the complete end of the world, but he figured it was the courteous thing to do. Yeah, he didn't look the same as any of the other Peters he'd met thus far, but if there was someone else in this universe who he did share a face with (because that could happen apparently- as he'd found out after seeing a poster for a movie called Lala Land) he didn't want to ruin his life either.
Tumblr media
"You want some?" he asked, gesturing at the still-hot half-a-pizza left. Sure, his metabolism was such that he could pretty easily eat it all himself but he was always happy to share.

"It's an affront to all things pizza and especially New York style pizza. I mean how are you supposed to fold a piece with pineapple chunks on it?" he chuckled, but there was a sincerely held belief behind his words. Though maybe his strong opinions on one of his favorite foods did have to do with how often he ate it (carbs galore for an enhanced metabolism like his) and the ease with which a New York style slice could be eaten on the go. Walking, skating, or web-slinging.
Peter was glad that Harry'd taken his invitation, though. Of course he didn't know how Harry's abilities compared to his own, but he did know from experience that food was helpful and pretty much necessary after getting hurt like that with any sort of accelerated healing. Healing needed energy and energy was carbs and the unquestionable best form of carbs was pizza.
And it helped the perennially broke that it could often be found for reasonably cheap. As he'd once heard a very wise person say, at least a bad pizza is edible.
"Yeah, it's um... or was a place my uncle used to take me a lot as a kid. Old high school buddy of his owned it. Mostly it shut down 'cos he finally retired and didn't want to sell it to anyone. Made me wish I'd visited more before it shut down." A brief, quiet moment of reflection. "I dunno. For a city that's supposedly always changing, you sure do miss those staples when they're gone."
@inhcritance
A place with good food -good Pizza- would be a nice universal constant, Harry could only agree to that. He had good memories of the place, but mostly of ordering their pizza: they wouldn't deliver to the Osborn penthouse because they had principles, but they were willing to deliver to Harry's place.
And truth be told, Harry was exhausted, now that the adrenaline from the fight was fading away, and with it the most violent of his instincts. But even limping, and knowing his temper was not going to be entirely even... He saw the offer, and accepted it. And so, he left the Glider inside the lab, folded and blocked, and started walking towards the offered door.
"I have good taste." He replied, almost joking back, making his way towards the elevator, trying to find the balance between not limping too obviously and not moving too slowly. "But Hawaiian pizza is not that bad." He added, and now he was indeed teasing, if faintly.
He was not unused to pain, so he'd deal with it: food would help, and then he had painkillers that would work.
"Good food does that." He agreed. "But pizza is a special category in on itself." He added. "And my Peter would be devastated if Joe's closed. So would I." He admitted. "I might even buy it to prevent that."

hi! your blog is one of my favourites and i absolutely adore reading your thoughts. my grandfather recently passed away and it feels like i lost myself with him. how do i continue living after this? there is this constant weight on my chest and it feels like an emptiness has made a home inside of me. how do i go on when it feels like the world crashed on my shoulders?
hello, love! this is so very sweet and kind of you, and i hope you're treating yourself gently and kindly right now - there aren't words for a loss like this. that heaviness is difficult, and hard, and painful. it's okay if things don't feel okay, right now, or even soon - i think that's something that a lot of the people i know that have gone through similar grief feel: like they should be able to get back to a relative 'normal' in a [insert far too short period of time].
but it's okay if it hurts. that's where i'd like to start. you're allowed to feel that emptiness, that world-crashed feeling that goes beyond words, beyond time. don't feel like you have to rush this to feel some sort of better. things get easier with time, i promise you this, but sometimes painful feelings are important to feel, too. cry, scream, feel your emotions. they're a part of you. grieve.
it's perhaps a little silly, but when i think about death i always think about a couple of space songs: mainly drops of jupiter by train and saturn by sleeping at last. there are perhaps others that speak to the emotions better, but these two have always hit something a little deeper for me, and are popular for a wide-reaching reason.
and while personally i don't know much about grief like this, i do know a lot about love; and i think they're a lot of the same thing.
the people we love are a part of us, and this is why it takes from us so deeply when we lose them, because it does feel like we've lost a part of ourselves in the wake of it. but it's because they were so central to our experiences of living - our lives, that the separation introduces a hollowness - a place where they used to be. a home that now goes unlived in.
an emptiness, like you said.
but just because they're not here physically, doesn't mean he's not still there, in your heart, in your life, your memory. you can hold him close in smaller ways, as well: steal a sweater, or cologne/scent for something a little more physical and long lasting for remembering. hold onto the memories you cherish, the things that made you laugh, the ease of slow mornings and gentle nights. write them all down, slide a few photographs in there, go through it and add more when you miss him. keep them all close, keep them in your heart.
you're not alone, in this. he's still there, with you, it's just - in the little things.
he's with you in the way you see and go about your daily life, in doing what he liked to do, in the ways he interacted with the world that you shared with him. the memories you recall fondly when the night is late or the moment is right and something calls it into you like a melody, an old bell, laughter you'd recognize anywhere.
but i think, perhaps most importantly above all others - talk about him. with your family, your friends, his friends, strangers; stories are how we keep the people we love alive. the connections they've made, the legacies and experiences they've left behind, and so, so many stories.
how lucky, we are - to love so much it takes a piece of us when they go. grief is the other side of the coin, but it does not mean our love goes away. it lives in you. it lives in everyone who knew him, in the smallest pieces of our lives.
the people we love never really leave us, like this: they're in how we cook and the way we fold our newspapers, our laundry, in the radio stations we tune in to and the way we decorate our walls, our photo albums. they're in the way we store our mail, organize our closets, the scribbled notes in the indexes of our books. the meals we love and the drinks we mix, the way we spend time with one another. they've been passed down for generations, for longer than history - and we are all the luckier for it.
think about what you shared with him, and do it intentionally. bring him into your life, like this, again. whether it's crosswords or poetry or sports or anything else. if one doesn't help, try another. something might click.
i hope things feel a little easier for you, as they tend to do only with time. i hope you find joy in your grief, even if it is small and hard to grasp at first. know that your hurt stems from so much love that there isn't a place to put it properly, and that it is something so meaningful and hurting poets and storytellers have been struggling to put it into words and sounds that feel like the fit right for eons, and that it is also just simply yours. sometimes things don't have to make sense. sometimes they just are - unable to be put into words or neat little sentiments, as unfair and tragic as they come.
but i promise it will not feel like this forever. your love is real. and perhaps, on where to begin on from here - i think it's less on finding where to begin and just beginning. and you've already started. you've taken the most important and crucial step: the first one. wherever you go, after that, from here? you'll figure it out. you always have, and you always do. it'll come, as things always do. love leads us, as does light - and you're never alone in your hurt. in your grief, your missing something dear to you. i think if you talk about it with others, you'll find they have ways of helping you cope as well - and they have so much love of their own to spare, too.
as an aside, here is the song (northern star by dom fera) i was listening to when i wrote this, for no other reason more than it makes me think of connections, and love, and how we hold onto the people we love and how they change us, wonderfully and intrinsically. it's a little more joyous than the others i've mentioned, and plays like a story, and it made me think of what is at the core of this, love and stories and i am here with you, and maybe it'll bring you some joy, if you'd like it. wishing you all my love and ease 💛
#q&a.#birdsong.#wishing u gentle ease; the death of a loved one is near inexplicable to put into words and i hope you take care of yourself gently <3#i hope this will make u laugh: when i was a tiny child in middle school there were times i would go outside in my tiny suburban cul de sac-#in the rain and sing along to my lil ipod nano and i only remember doing this to drops of jupiter. can you imagine going out to get the mai#after a long day of work and you just hear this kid singing train in the streets. in the RAIN.... it makes me laugh like i really.#i really thought i was so cool and deep and emotional ghjkd but i find it v funny that i only remember it w/ that one train track.#and saturn just. it's my fav s.a.l. song for a reason. that slow violin opening? the piano coming in gentle and easy?#it feels like light. like hope. like something new - a dawn after the long dark. that beautiful things can begin again even where#it hurts. and there is nothing more human than a sentiment like that.#how rare and beautiful it is to truly exist. what it is to be alive and get to be here and live with other people. with those we love.#i think your grandfather was so lucky to be able to know you. to have you in his life for the time you had together.#i'm no spiritual person; but i like to believe when you're thinking about him? he's thinking about you too.#the second law of thermodynamics (physics nerd mode) is that no energy has ever been created/destroyed since the beginning of the universe.#so it has to go somewhere - it's that carl sagan quote of 'we're all made of stardust'. because we are. we used to be stars; planets; etc.#i think it's why i think of these space songs - because they're a part of everything; once more; when they go. us and everything else.

@inhcritance liked for a starter from Peter 3
Sitting on the edge of a randomly chosen rooftop, a takeout box from this universe's Joe's Pizza next to him, Peter was trying to tell himself that he'd only come here for the food. Different universe, different owner, but the pizza tasted exactly the same as he remembered from the one back home. But ever since he'd found out that this universe's Harry was on such a similar path to the one in his own he'd been worried. Popping in more than he should have to check on things while trying to tread that line of not revealing secrets that weren't his to share. He'd even considered trying to stick around long enough to be here when that conversation happened, but ultimately (with the help of talking it through with the MJ of his world) decided it wouldn't have been for the best. His own trauma making him jumpy could have ruined any chance at a peaceful conversation.
Tumblr media
But finally, on this trip, he'd run into this world's Peter. Found out that they'd talked. He could tell the other Peter was at least a little upset and conflicted, but he'd thanked him... even if Peter really refused to say much more.
As necessary as it'd felt to do what he could to help avoid more tragedy in this world, it'd brought memories back that'd truthfully never fully left but that he'd started to think about less often these days. Along with the oh-so-familiar feeling of guilt for what he'd failed to do in his own world, too. So he'd decided to take a little more time before going back. Have a little of the pizza that'd always made things seem right again when he was a kid.

@spideygwennie asked: how long has it been since you’ve slept ? (peter 3)
"I dunno- day or two?" he said, rubbing at his face through his mask- grateful that it was hiding the fact that it was likely a bit longer than that. Peter wasn't quite at utter exhaustion yet, but he was probably somewhere around could-fall-asleep-on-literally-any-surface-if-given-the-chance tired. Though given his tendency to fall asleep up in the corners of rooms, that was hardly a unique thing. Still. He'd been asked to help and help he would... even if all of this had become a little more complicated than he'd expected. So much for thinking he even slightly understood the multiverse.
Tumblr media
"I'll be fine. I've, um, gone without sleep for longer before. Some sorta caffeine might be good, though."

a rly underrated thing about crazy ex girlfriend imo is that it's one of the rare shows i know of that really spends time on exploring what the process of having children is like for queer ppl/for those who go about it "non-normatively". it's not even rly a main storyline but i still find it rly well-handled and touching.
#idk i feel like in the general consciousness (deciding to) having kids as a queer person is either treated as impossible#(which is true to an extent in some jurisdictions tbf - at least if you want the legal status of parents)#or is imo way oversimplified#like yeah most ppl know ivf is A Fucking Process but many ppl still seem to underestimate iui for example#or there's an assumption that all couples with no sperm between them choose to use a sperm bank and that that process is easy#and doesn't require any reflection (which it isn't and it does)#or that if you choose to go with a known donor finding a donor is an easy process (which it also rly isn't)#or for couples where no one can get pregnant that surrogacy goes without saying (in addition to the fact that surrogacy is banned#in Many Places where other MAR techniques aren't#finding a surrogate is also orders of magnitude more difficult than finding a gamete donor)#or that adoption is an obvious solution - idk if those ppl know any gay couples who are trying to adopt but i do#they've been in the process for SIX psychologically excruciating years and it will likely be another year before they actually have a child#and that's for white college-educated materially comfortable ppl#and idk but cxg does a rly good job with the storyline - from Darryl and White Josh's disagreement about whether to have kids#to Darryl's decision to have a kid alone#to him asking Heather and Rebecca for help with that process#to the fact that Heather and Rebecca's feelings about Hebecca are v realistic and nuanced atm#not at all maternal bc that's never what they wanted or planned for (being a mother to this child) but also not indifferent#for example the 'hello nice to meet you' reprise - i legit think that's the only time i've ever seen a known donor's attitude and feelings#about the child they helped create but in no way consider 'theirs' being explored. even in thirty seconds.#or even just the fact that Darryl is a lawyer and requests help from both a gamete donor and a gestational carrier - yes!#as far as i understand in the us 'surrogacy' (one person being pregnant with their own ovule) gives the pregnant person legal parental stat#and thus requires giving up those rights and sometimes adoption after birth#while 'splitting things up' between a donor and a carrier also cuts through that 'biological' link for the purposes of legal recognition#i might be wrong in my understanding of this but if not it's cool to see it handled realistically including wrt how the legal consequences#influences decisions about which choices you make#reproduction cw#children cw#adoption cw

"Mm- I've had days like that, too," he said with a sympathetic smile up at Mayday. "First week in my first apartment, cracked ribs and a headache from inhaling smoke, and finding out that an exterminator spraying pesticide in the building was enough to set off my spider-sense at a very low but still annoying level..." Peter let out a soft, short chuckle. These days, he made sure to pay attention to those notices in his building- making plans to be elsewhere if he could.
"Yeah um, still a spider bite obviously but uh it- it happened to be one that'd been part of a project my dad worked on when he was at Oscorp. Genetically modified, not radioactive. Part of a cross-genetics program, trying to find a cure for the genetic disease Norman had among other things. Connors, lizards," he shrugged with his free shoulder, knowing that at least that was fairly common among the Peters.
Tumblr media
"Long story short, he used his own DNA to cross-breed the spiders as a sorta fail-safe if Norman tried to pull anything. Which he did, obviously." Another multiversal constant. "Idea was that they wouldn't be able to continue the work without him... or a descendant. I guess as much as breeding the spiders itself was seen as a huge leap forward, none of the tests they ever ran after my dad died worked, but they were able to find other uses for them- mostly creating super-strong webbing that they tried to find industrial applications for. But then one day I snuck in and got bit. Not that I knew any of that at the time- 's what I was able to piece together later."
Tumblr media
"That's one word for him." Peter agreed. He didn't agree with everything Miguel did, but at this point, he really was one of his only friends. The guy just needed help. And pushing him further into isolation by abandoning him at the worst time of his life, when he really was trying to do good and safe the multiverse? Peter wasn't going to do that.
The other Peter didn't quite seem comfortable, but he trusted him with his daughter. Kind of knew the kind of person he was, judging by the whole Spider-Man thing. Paired with the fact that he was also a Peter Parker? Forgive him for assuming things, but if anything - Mayday would probably loosen him up a bit. She had a knack for that.
"We talked about it. MJ and I. We didn't know what to expect, but I think she made her decision a long time ago, way before I got up the courage to do the same. We figured we'd handle whatever came." And they were. They were handling it well, even with the spider-powers in addition to the usual toddler stuff. "There was one time, her spider-sense went off? She would not stop crying, no matter what we did. That was a hell of a week, and we're still not entirely sure what caused it. Anyway- you said your dad's the reason you got your spider-powers? How'd that work? Because you're right; that seems to be a detail a lot of us are missing in our own origin stories."

y'know, I've been seeing a lot more posts talking about how fanfic, specifically, puts characters into boxes and takes away the nuance of them, and while I think that's an important discussion to have, I also find it quite perplexing? Like, these posts seem to come from people who don't even, or maybe very rarely, consume fics in the first place, and I say that because, if you do consume fics semi-regularly, you kind of learn? how to gage what the stories and characterisation are going to be like based on the tags and summary? Sometimes, you do have to step into the fic to figure it out, but it hardly takes very long to realise if it gels with you or not. Idk, it's not anything serious or important, but it does give me... "girl, what were you doing at the devil's sacrament" vibes, you know?
#this gets posted here because my main has mutuals (whom i still love v much) who are part of the girls suspiciously at the sacrament#fanfiction#ao3#i feel like the post doesnt properly address what i mean. i understand that these posts arent talking about fics exactly but rather how#mischaracterisation in fics permeates into how characters are portrayed in the fandom at large but even then it's a bit. like i dont think#you can put that all on the fics/writers (and these posts usually do) alone?? like yes the mischaracterisation is more prominent in fics#by virtue of their medium but if it's resonating with artists and other creators then that's clearly indicative of a general#cognisance issue in the fandom??? and like. maybe it's because tumblr is the only socmed site i use but i dont find it difficult to curate#my fandom experience. people generally know how to use tags and while the sudden influx of x reader stuff for every single character isnt#something im fond of either they're generally good at tagging their stuff. it's annoying but you can blacklist that. you can.#also fic isnt like art where you look at it and you've seen it. you have to engage with a fic to understand so then it /really/ feels like#girl what were you doing at the devil's sacrament to me. idk this post isnt complaining about fandom mischaracterisation in general#i complain about that all the time but more so the inclination to put it on fics & their writers. because if you know how to move through#fic spaces and read the summaries and tags#you can generally find works that are really really good. could you argue they're rare? sure. but saying all fics propogate#mischaracterisation is just... a lie?#this got so long. im not even really bothered or annoyed by it im just confused#these are also often the people who espouse rhetoric about being unafraid to post cringe and embracing your weirdness#and it's like. okay do you want people to post unabashedly or do you want them to shut up.#anyway. back to our regularly scheduled programme now

Eyebrows draw together for a moment as he thinks. "I was attacked by a group of clowns once. Managed to escape by going for the juggler."

"OUCH! Just right in the ego!" He really had thought that one was good. (No he didn't.) "Do you got anything better? C'mon Mr. Judge of bad jokes!"

Re-tag drop: Yelan
#yelan: ic. [ that's a worst-case scenario. but all too often; the most pessimistic speculation turns out to be the closest to the truth. ]#yelan: inquiries. [ oh? you'd like to know more about me? what will you give in exchange then? ]#yelan: countenance. [ an old friend of mine once privately commented to me that yelan “is always smiling; but never with her eyes.” ]#yelan: introspection. [ like a phantom she appears in various guises at the center of events; and disappears before the storm stops. ]#yelan: meta. [ the chances are if i open this door; there can be no witnesses left alive. is that a sufficient reason for you? ]#yelan: little notes. [ how can things ever be the same again: knowing your life was saved when others weren't? salvation can be a burden. ]#yelan: wishes. [ that which hides inside her… that constant calling; it is the blood of heroes which has been howling for 500 years. ]#yelan: etc. [ every round of finger-guessing is a tiny adventure; and every roll of dice sends sporadic thrills down her spine. ]#yelan: home. [ i'm guessing you've fallen for the rumors about me being very wealthy; having high demands for my standards of living? ]#yelan: yanshang. [ the teahouse has really brightened up after the boss took over and kicked the fatui and gamblers out. ]#yelan: lantern rite. [ every year on this day; the lanterns light up the night. may the fire never die and may humanity endure. ]#yelan: chasm. [ perhaps she will plunge into that darkness one day; and the ill fate that once befell her ancestors shall find her too. ]#yelan: scope. [ i serve ningguang. the tianquan of the qixing. the scope of my work includes some of liyue's biggest secrets. ]#yelan: weaponry.

@girlofsteel asked: “ stay where you are, i’m on my way. “ (Peter 3)
"Yeah- yeah ok." This hadn't exactly been the plan when Peter had decided to explore the multiverse just a little bit more. Curiosity, perhaps... But he should've remembered that saying about what that did to a cat. Not that this was the worst injury he'd ever had but it was always annoying when he'd managed to break or otherwise injure an arm given his usual mode of transportation. So much for thinking that just because someone had similar powers to someone he'd fought before that he'd be helpful. Turned out that electricity could be used in all sorts of creatively destructive and painful ways that Max hadn't thought of but this 'Livewire' had.
