tonight i’m thinking so hard about the fact that stede killed ned low and immediately dismissed himself and when ed went in to check on him he took ed by the collar and slammed him against the wall to give an outlet to some of his energy and bad feelings. what i’m thinking about in particular is the moment where ed stopped at izzy’s suggestion, and more importantly the moment where he pushed forward against izzy’s suggestion
thinking about izzy saying “give him a minute. first kill’s always a mind fuck” and about ed ignoring his advice. thinking about the fact that izzy could probably tell stede would be feeling bad after this, or at least “mind fuck”ed enough to need some space from people, something that izzy frequently takes for himself when he feels bad too. thinking about ed disregarding the suggestion and getting real actual fucked by the mind-fucked guy. thinking about whether or not they would’ve rushed into sex if ed had truly given stede the space and time that izzy was suggesting. thinking about how he knows that it’ll be hitting stede hard and about the fact that he cares enough about that to try and lessen the blow. thinking about izzy giving an order to ed for the sake of stede, rather than giving an order to stede for the sake of blackbeard. thinking about ed ignoring it because they’ve long grown out of any semblance of that relationship where izzy offers advice to blackbeard. thinking

Rooftop
Tumblr media
Summary: You and Spider-Man meet on a rooftop, feelings develop, but you don't know him. Or do you?
Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader
Word count: 1000ish
Warnings: none, just fluff
A/N: I wrote this a long time ago and just found it. So I tweaked it and I hope you like it. Also not my gift.
____
You sat on a roof top, legs dangling off the side while you watched the sunset. You took another bite of the sandwich you got at Delmar's. Taking a deep breath, enjoying the sunset. Feeling a slight sting as the cool air filled your lungs.
"I know your there spidey." You said matter a factly, finishing your mouth full.
"How!? I didn't make a sound." He questioned his voice slightly getting higher.
"I felt the energy radiate from your soul." You told him sarcasticly.
"What!?" He was so confused, the eyes on his mask moving.
"So, do I ever find out who the famous Spider-Man is?" You teased, standing up and turning around, balancing yourself on the ledge.
"What if you already knew him?" Spidey teased back, as you stepped off the edge of the building onto the safer part of the roof. He started walking towards you.
"Do I?" You questioned, taking a few more steps.
"Maybe." He retorted, stopping infront of you. He looked out at the sky the pink and orange dancing together to create one of nature's masterpieces.
You and Spidey had been meeting up on this very roof top for a month straight. And you felt as if something had clicked between the two of you. The playfull banter and sharing of snacks, as much as the deep conversations while somehow maintaining a sense of privacy. It made something inside you feel funny in a good way. He made you feel safe, even if you didn't truly know him.
But at the same time there was Peter the scrawny kid at school who didn't look so scrawny anymore. Of course you had a crush on him, he was sweet and empathetic and he wanted to help others, he constantly was. With school work, or helping an old lady cross the road, or volunteering at May's work. But you and him? That would never happen.
You two were friends. Strictly friends. You, Peter, MJ, and Ned. It was perfect. It was your little group. Why mess it up?
What you found strange was how similar the two were. Although the great Spider-Man tried to hide it you knew he was a nerd. He was clearly a teen, who was struggling to find his place in the world. And Peter was a massive nerd, I mean just the shirts he wore. He too was struggling to find what he wanted to do, or where he wanted to be.
Spidey sat down on the ledge and you joined him. You offered your half eaten sandwich and he gracefully took it. Lifting his mask as you started at him, right before he could take a bite and then looked over at you. You looked back at the sky.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" You said the sun close to disappearing into the horizon.
"Yeah it is." He spoke so quietly you almost didn't catch it. You looked over only to realize he wasn't looking at the sunset.
God you wish you could see his eyes right now. The eyes on his mask shifted as he looked down at your lips and you looked down at his. He started to lean in and as he was milameters from your lips. His hot breath coming in contact with your skin, you turned your head to the side and slightly leaned back. He swallowed hard before leaning back.
The choice had been made. Peter. He was the one.
"I'm sorry." Spider-Man said letting out a sigh.
"Look I like you, your kind, and smart and you save this city but I don't know who you are, how old you are or what school you go to. Assuming you go to school. I would kiss you but I- I" You stuttered trying to get the word out.
"Like someone else." He finished you scentence looking up at the sky.
"Yea."
"Whats he like?" He asked, taking you by suprise. When most guys were rejected for another they got angry and weird, but he didn't.
"Uhm, he- he's nice, smart, a total dork. He used to be pretty scrawny but he isn't anymore, although I don't think anyone really noticed. His name is Peter. He's kind and he's in the mathleets. He helps me with most of the homework, since I kinda suck at it. He's such a good friend. Always there when you need him. But I just don't know how to tell him. God I'm stupid." You rambled a smile on your lips, not noticing that spidey was trying to get your attention. But he got it regardless.
He crashed his lips onto yours making you shut up. He quickly pulled away and swifly removed his mask.
"I like you to dork." Your brain was lagging, your mouth hung open overwelmed by what just happened. A strange feeling settled in your stomach before butterflies urupted.
"Peter?" You questioned, with wide eyes and a confused face.
"Hey." He gave you a cute smile before you grabbed the back of his neck and pulled his lips to yours again.

as I wallow in my fever filled misery I binge your blog for most of the day and i absolutely love it, i hope it's okay if i ask for whoever you want from ASOIAF with their sick s/o love you
Im sorry this is hittin so late anon! I hope you recovered well~ Here's a couple peeps for ya.
Brandon - He's terrible at noticing when he's getting sick himself, and actually sitting and resting ... so while Brandon will notice when your energy is low or you don't feel well, he doesn't worry until you finally collapse. Then he feels terrible while he carries you back and you're set up in a spare room (he wouldn't mind sharing the bed, but he's already been lectured to death by the maester about what a bad idea that is. He doesn't care he probably sneaks into the spare room anyway.
Because Brandon is restless on a good day, so when you're feeling ill and awful, he's distracted. He keeps thinking about you throughout the day, and checks on you often. If you're not improving, he's doggedly following the maester around and hovering and trying to be useful and just ends up getting kicked out. Everyone's relieved when you finally improve, and yes, he gets sick because he couldn't stay away but it barely knocks the guy out. Not fair.
Ned - Ned would be the one who notices your energy dropping and the loss of appetite in combination with the change in weather. It's especially uncanny if you're someone who doesn't get sick often, and he still figures it out. He's also the type who offers you warm food and rest early on, in hopes you'd shake off the cold early. It's all fun and games to tease Ned about being a mother hen until your sickness gets worse and you're stuck in bed. Great. He won't say "I told you so", buuut he still laughs a little when you complain about being stuck in bed all day.
Ned feels bad about you having to be holed up in a spare room, though, but at least you're in one of the heated ones. He visits at least three times throughout the day, bringing whatever you need and keeping you company if you'd like it. If you're the sort who wants to be totally alone when you're sick, he respects it, but he's gotta stop by to at least say goodnight. Also, it's just Ned's luck that he gets sick just days after you do, every. single. time. It's usually worse, too.
Benjen - He does what he can with what's available at the Wall. While he keeps his usual jovial self up around you, wanting to encourage you, he privately worries about your health. Benjen sneaks in extra furs and extra food - If anyone catches him, all he has to do is drop the smile and glare them down. It's surprisingly effective. He'd like to stay by your side all day and night, but he can't risk getting ill himself and there's work to do.
So Benjen comes in in the morning and late evening, starting by giving you a kiss on the brow, then making sure you're comfortable, then showing off whatever he snuck out of the kitchens. He's got a nautral and relaxed bedside manner, but can be surprisingly stern if you try to get up before you're ready. Maybe if this was the South, but the Wall isn't the place to risk it. Oh and he gets sniffles and sick later bc he kept up with the kissing.
Stannis - What a surprise, Stannis matter of factly states you're in no condition to go about your usual business, and you ought to set up in the spare room. Maester is called, food brought, medicine taken, done and done, right? Back to work. The thing is, if you often ask for him and you're clearly not feeling well, he has a difficult time getting back to his duties. He tells you many times to call a servant, but the guilt actually starts to bother him, especially if you get worse before you get better. Stannis sits on the very edge of the bed (his bedside manner is hilariously bad, don't worry,) and keeps asking you to go back to sleep and stop chattering.
His own health actually isn't that bad, especially considering the seige, but guess what. That one time you got out of bed to get something yourself, he caught you and irritably carried you back? That's what gets him. Stannis still doesn't get as sick as you do, but he's definitely bellyaching about it while you take care of him.
Oberyn - He's the sort of man whose either a godsend when you're sick, or driving you up a wall. It depends! If you want constant attention and fussing, Oberyn will indulge in your neediness all you want. He rather likes it, feeling like he's helping even if you don't immediately improve. If you want to be left alone to puke and snot in peace, well ... he has a hard time staying away. Oberyn wants to be the one bringing your medicine and food, whatever you need, and he wants to stay and linger. Even if it's just to chat, or run his hand down your back.
And yes, he’ll still want to share the bed unless you’re in an absolutely awful state. You'll have to kick Oberyn out eventually, or just move to one of the guest rooms yourself, otherwise he’ll get sick - except he never does, the jerk. Must be all the citrus.
Ashara - She's also the sort of person who would pick up on the weather changing and the change in your attitude, and point out you're probably getting sick. She says it so suddenly, and it's so early, you wouldn't believe her ... aaand two or three days later, you're laid out in bed. Just great. Once the maester is done with his business, Ashara likes to visit if it's just a cold. She's smart about being careful where she touches you, not getting too close, avoiding your cough, she even brings a citrus fruit basket and implores you to eat some. Her bedside manner is lovely too, and she brought your favorite book? Alright, this isn't so bad.
She will stay away if you start getting worse, and it just makes her worry more. In that case she's making sure the maester is bringing in gifts, even if you feel too poorly to enjoy a book or a bouquet of flowers - it's about knowing that someone cares and is worried about you.
Asha - It's straight to the spare room with you. Nope, no whining, no ifs or buts, no kisses no matter how much you whine about it. Asha loves you but she is not about to have you snotting and coughing all over the bed. At least she's not about to let you be totally miserable, Asha's pretty good about barking at you to eat more and drink water. There's not a lot in the way of medicine on the Iron Islands, but Asha's recovered from some pretty nasty spells before. She figures you'll do the same.
... There's some worrying when it takes a while. If you try to be stubborn and suffer through what's probably pneumonia, then Asha will drag a maester over from the greenlands by his ankles. Hiding weakness like a proper Ironborn is all well and good until you're coughing blood, then she calls you a fool and fusses endlessly.
Roose - He'll tell you that you're getting sick, and mention you ought to do something about it. His suggestions are pretty terrible, though - no, Roose, you aren't drinking that weird wine or doing leeching or bleeding or whatever. You're fine. Except when the flu finally hits, and you're fighting off his damn maester with a stick. Weird treatments aside, Roose seems like his aloof self, though you're also too addled by fever and congestion to pay attention to his comings and goings. He's actually keeping a close eye on your progress and more or less threatening the maester and servants that he expects you to improve within a fortnight, as if they can directly control it. Well, they better figure something out.
Getting worse means Roose actually ending your sickroom, as if there's something others have missed that only he can see. He spends a lot of time ... watching, and while his face is impassive, there's worry. A lot of worry. He might start disposing of the help and this maester if you don't get better. A lot of the irrational, explosive bloodlust anger that he's spend years burying down is starting to bubble up and there's not a lot of outlets for it. Once your condition turns around, it calms itself, if only for a while. He still won't forget his servant's incompetence.
Jaime - For seasonal colds and a yearly flu, Jaime is gonna avoid you like the plague because a) he hates getting sick and b), all the snotting and vomitting is gross. ... And Jaime's actually not good at dealing with a loved one whose ill, both in the sense it's difficult to see them that way, and he has no idea what to do. You think his father gave a damn when he was ill, or let that be an excuse to stop training? You think his siblings had any idea what a good bedside manner was?
It's easy for him to tease once you're recovering and able to leave the sickroom, though his barbs aren't as pointed. It isn't easy when you aren't recovering quickly, or when you get worse. He doesn't know what to do with himself, so Jaime acts out in a way, threatening the maester, being in an irritable mood, having no way to help because this isn't his area of expertise.

A Soulmate Who Wasn’t Meant To Be — Part 5 || Doctor Strange x F!Reader
Tumblr media
Word Count: 2.4K Themes: Meddling Kids, Push n Pull, Comedy(?) Special Mentions: Peter Parker, America Chavez, Ned Leeds A/N: I apologize for the crackhead energy with this one but with Peter, America and Ned working together, I imagine it would end up like this LOL. Gif not mine. Credits to Creator.
“No.” You pushed Stephen out your door. You didn't care if he didn't have his sling ring or any extra clothes on. The embarrassment tonight was more than enough.
“Hear me out.” Stephen tries to reason with you as he backs up.
“No. No-no-no. No. Get out.” you shook your head and shoved him out of your door.
“I can explain.”
“I’m sure you can explain, and I’m equally sure I don’t want you to hear it. Goodbye.” You smile and was about to shut the door when Stephen uses hand to keep it open.
Seeing him tied up on your bed was enough explanation. He was trying to scare all the men away and never see you again—though the guy tonight was a huge red flag, Stephen probably scared away the good ones as well.
“It’s been months. We should be able to talk about it.”
“No. No-no-no. No. Get out.” You smacked his hands of and pulls the door closed—
“Don’t shut the door on my—DAMMIT.” Stephen grimaces in pain.
You look down and realized what you did by accident,“Move your foot.”
“Move the door.” He stubbornly replied.
“Move your foot or I will decapitate it.”
“That doesn’t make any sense. You decapitate heads, not feet.”
“Move your foot or I will de-foot you.” you seethed.
“That’s not even a word. C’mon. Hear me out. Please.”
“Move your foot.” you repeated firmly.
“Why not just open the door a little more and let me come in. See? It’s—DAMMIT. STOP DOING THAT. YOU’RE HURTING ME.”
“Stop hurting you? Stop hurting you? Congratulations. You win the Oscar for best verbal irony. Now take both of your feet and walk them and your sad sorry ass to your haunted house. Goodbye.”
“I know you are really mad at me. I can explain.”
“Mad at you? I don’t care enough about you to be mad at you. Frankly, I’m mad at myself.”
“You should be.”
You scoffed and pointed at yourself, “I should be mad at myself?!”
“Yes.”
“Oh, now please explain. Why should I be mad at myself?”
“Because you're giving up on us.”
“I gave up on us? Oh, I’m sorry I made you take me as a rebound and then dump me on my birthday—”
“But now I realise I made a terrible mistake.”
“That’s not a credible defence.”
“You really need to let me come in. We need to talk.”
“You really need to leave. Goodbye.”
“C’mon. We can move on from this. You know I am a late bloomer. I just need a little more time than most—”
“You are in your forties!”
“Exactly. Who really has it all together by their forties?”
You count with your digits, “Alexander the Great. Jesus Christ. Ex-convicts. Junkies. Nearly everyone. You deserve the door slammed in your face.”
“Yet here you are talking to me.”
“My mistake. Goodbye.” In an attempt to shut the door you hit his foor again.
“DON’T HIT MY FOOT—DAMMIT. THAT HURTS.”
“Then move your foot out of the door jam, and then move your carcass out of my life. It’s really quite simple.”
“I CAN’T MOVE MY FOOT. YOU HAVE IT WEDGED.” Stephen snapped, his eyes slightly glistening as his foot registers all the pain.
You gave his foot some allowance, “There.”
“Thank you. Now let me come in.” He makes an attempt to come in again.
You placed your hand on his chest and push him back out, “You stay on the other side of this door—just like the trash cans. The only difference is that the trash cans are useful.”
“Are you really going to throw away years together? Are you really throwing away our relationship?”
“I don’t have to throw it away. You did it for me. I’m just not picking it up again.”
“You know I love you.”
“You know I don’t care. The last straw was the last straw.”
“I can get you more straws.” He says, trying to lighten up the situation, which only infuriates you.
“I’m sure you can get me almost anything—anything but peace.”
“I can get you a piece of straw.”
“Your clever puns are wasted here. You’re exhausting. Just your presence is exhausting. Just leave.”
“Fine.”
“Good.”
“Shut the door.”
“I’m going to.” you shrug.
“No one is stopping you. See? I have moved my feet. You have moved on. Now, shut the door.”
You narrowed your eyes at Stephen and shut the door on his face.
▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎
It's been a few days since Stephen last sabotaged and practically made a show of himself in front of—you can't even remember his name anymore—the guy with mommy issues. You guessed that shaving Stephen off like a sheep taught him the lesson not to mess with you again.
You laugh at the memory of Stephen screaming and helplessly begging you not to shave him—Damn it! I should've waxed him. You thought to yourself, wishing you could turn back the time to give him all that pain.
It’s the middle of the night now, and you’ve finished your pint of Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream. Having ingested 200% of your daily sugar allowance, and since you couldn't put yourself to sleep after an hour of trying, you turned on the TV to watch some late night shows. Eventually it only became a background noise as you became distracted swiping through your tinder account to find any interesting people who for one, doesn't live with their mother or is overbearing.
"Are you staring at your phone, waiting impatiently for a monosyllabic message from your fickle lover to magically appear?" The man on the TV spoke. It was clearly a young man with a fake moustache. He walked over behind a girl with shoulder length black hair as she sat on the couch on her phone.
"Are you sick of meeting a "bae" on Tinder, opening up to them about your life while eating cold nachos and drinking watered-down margaritas, only to have them dump you three weeks later?"
Like a typical product advertisement, the girl nodded with a hopeful expression.
"Do you find yourself being a magnet for megalomaniacs, a sucker for swindlers, a filling station for womanisers?"
The girl nodded again.
"If so, you need to find out if You Are Being Ridiculous!™ " The camera zooms as the young man with a fake moustache pulls out his phone and presents the app being promoted.
"The next time you find yourself ugly crying in the bathroom stall, download the app by weeping directly onto the You Are Being Ridiculous!™ icon. Through the wonders of technology, your tears will be instantly analysed to see if You Are Being Ridiculous!™"
The TV shows a demonstration of the girl weeping on her phone before looking into the camera with terrible acting, "O-m-g! I am being ridiculous!"
"Your friends may have clued you in already because they don’t want to hear about your failed dates or relationship anymore—but when you are ready for a Cold Hard Truth Sandwich, we will make sure to leave out the baloney!
Perhaps you are entangled with a soulmate, or maybe it’s some average schmuck who has a treasure trove of mommy issues?
Maybe you’ve found a fallen angel who needs to overcome their childhood trauma, or maybe you landed a turd that needs to be flushed?
Either way, take the patented You Are Being Ridiculous!™ assessment, developed by licensed professional interns at Cosmopolitan magazine to see exactly why you give that complete loser the time of day.
But wait—there's more!
For nine instalments of $19.99, we will send your results to the TikTok therapist of your choice—because nothing says quality mental health counselling like an older white woman in an ill-fitting suit awkwardly dancing to “My Money Don’t Jiggle Jiggle, It Folds.”
So, are you ready to quit waking up in the middle of the night to confide in your new best friend, the ceiling? Are you ready to systemically deal with the fear, control, and power issues you have inside your own skull?
Then throw away those tissue boxes, call the number to chat with one of our experts, and get ready to find out if You Are Being Ridiculous!™
Just dial 1-800-4-give-him. That's 1-800-4-give him! Do it now.”
You grabbed the remote control and shut off the TV. You blinked and stared at the black screen weirded out about what you just watched. You shook your head and decided that it was time to go to bed.
The next morning
Alexa rings the alarm to wake you up, "Rise and shine, (Y/N). It's 21°C and sunny and a perfect day to forgive Stephen. . . " You roll onto your back, eyelids flying open when you realise what you just heard Alexa said, "Now Playing: When you left, I lost a part of me. It's still so hard to believe, Come back, baby, please, 'Cause we belong together."
You rose up like the undead and slammed your hand on the device to make it stop. You rubbed your hands to your face, "Damn it Stephen!" You yelled into the air.
He might've stopped sabotaging your dates for a while but now he's really getting creative at not giving you an ounce of peace. You turn off all of your gadgets, just in case an unsolicited announcement or advertisement pops up again.
▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎
You were waiting for coffee at Starbucks when the TV mounted on the wall began showing the billboard top hits, "Billboard brings you the top 100 greatest love songs of all time! We bring you classic love songs like, 'All you need is Stephen', 'If you can't find someone new to love, then love Stephen!', 'Do that to Stephen one more time!', 'You know you still love Stephen (He loves you long time)!'"
You look around to see if anybody else is seeing this and to your dismay, everyone else seems to be occupied with their own thing on their laptops and phones.
"(Y/N)?" The barista called out, playing your venti caramel macchiato on the bench.
"Thank you." You hastily grabbed your cup and looked back at the TV.
"And how can we forget about, 'Don't walk away from, Stephen. He has nothing if he don't have you!'"
You walk out of the store, "What the fuck—" Looking up at all the screens in time square got your head spinning.
"Download You Are Being Ridiculous!™ right now! Or call 1-800-4-Give-Him."
"I will always love you, (Y/N)! Now Streaming at Spotify."
"The Man Who Can't Be Moved, in theatres now!" An image of Stephen appears holding a cardboard with your photo in his hand.
▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎
"I don't think she's taking Phase Sadness all too well. . . She looks terrified more than sad." Ned watches you run away in the scrying crystal ball as he notified America and Peter who was still in costume after making the You Are Being Ridiculous advertisement.
"Oh wow you finally did it! Congratulations Ned." America smiles and gives Ned a supportive pat on the back.
Ned chuckles, "Yeah, after I broke twenty scrying crystal balls? That's two hundred years of bad luck. I'm surprised Sir Doctor Strange didn't kick me out yet."
Stephen's footsteps as he rushed down the undercroft sounded like thunder and when he arrived at the basement, he found America dressed as you, Peter dressed like a 70s news anchor and Ned hugging the scrying crystal ball on his lap.
"Can somebody explain. . .Why? Is. My. Face all over time square?!" Stephen's voice gradually got louder.
"It was Peter's idea." Ned blurted out of anxiety from Stephen's tone of voice, "Pan de sal?" Ned holds up a filipino bread roll.
"No. Thank you." Stephen blinks and then turns towards Peter, "Whatever this is, undo it. Now." He said sternly.
"Okay, okay—We'll shut down all hacking devices." Peter says in defeat and runs towards their laptops to shut down their programmes.
Stephen sighs rubbing his hands over his face, wishing that he should never have asked kids to help him out. If he they asked him what he wanted to do, he would do it right. He’d kiss you and tell you how much he loved you before he dropped down on one knee and begged you to forgive him. If you said no, then he would have courted you and proved to you how much he cared for you. He should have-
"Sorry, Stephen. We should've asked you before going ahead. . . We just got too excited." America looks down apologetically, "But we still have one more—"
"No. Nope! I have been shaved, kicked out of her apartment with nothing on but my underwear and now you deep-faked my face on the lead singer of The Script and then plastered my face all over time square?!" Stephen snapped with a frustrated growl, "What other ideas do you have planned? Paint my face on the moon?"
"Well actually, we didn’t deep-fake you. . . America went to another universe and filmed a homeless version of you. . ." Peter admitted as if it was going to make the situation any better.
Stephen's eyes scrutinised their faces one by one before bursting into laughter. The kids laughed along with Stephen uncomfortably with America leaning into Peter saying, "I think we broke him."
Stephen sighs as he stopped laughing and abruptly dropped his face into an angry scowl, "You guys have fifteen minutes to pack up your shit before I tell Tony what you've been using his tech for,"—Stephen point as Peter and then Ned—"Tell you're grandma that you actually learning magic,"—and lastly Stephen turns to America—"Take away your pizza privilege."
Stephen slowly walked toward Peter and ripped his fake moustache off.
"Ow. . ." Peter mumbled, stoke his upper lip.
"Stephen c'mon! It was a mistake! Give us a second chance! We promise we'll consult you before doing anything else stupid." America tried reasoning with Stephen, running up to his side and holding his arm pleadingly.
"Yeah, Doctor Strange, Sir. . . It’s just a test run?" Ned mumbled, still hugging the scrying crystal ball with the image of you closing your blinds at work to get away from all the madness.
"Fifteen minutes." Stephen iriterated once more, glancing at the image of you on thw crystal ball and left the undercroft so that the kids would clean up.
"Phase Sadness Status: Failed," Peter said after a moments of silence.
"No. We haven't even gotten to the better part yet. I refuse to give up when we barely even started!" America disagreed with Peter and stopped him from packing up.
"America, Stephen looked pretty mad. Plus I don't want Mr. Stark to take away my stuff." Peter said.
"Oh c'mon please? It's not going to involve hacking and the other stupid stuff we did—even though it was kinda funny— trust me! I'll talk to Stephen. We just need to wait under his head is not smoking in anger anymore."

so perhaps i'm just still mentally catching up to everything but... the parallels are paralleling right now you guys (with spiderman and percy jackson)
okay so, main character energy, sarcastic, witty, love to annoy/piss off their enemies with witty banter and random teenage-ish actions...
peter benjamin parker and perseus "percy" (don't know if he has a middle name) jackson are the same person, different font
aunt may = sally jackson
mj = annabeth chase
ned leeds (from mcu) = grover underwood
gwen stacy, felicia hardy = rachel elizabeth dare, calypso, others (nico could even kinda fit here?)
eddie brock = luke castellan
venom symbiote = kronos

Summary: Your best friend Peter brings you to the Avengers Tower as a birthday present. Pairing: Platonic!Loki x Female Reader x Platonic!Peter Parker Word Count: 2.3K Warnings: Fluff. Mentions of anxiety, anxiety attacks. A/N: Thanks @littlesister20001 for the request and for letting me pick your brain. This kinda derailed and started telling its own story. For some reason, Peter really needed to be in this fic. I hope you don't mind. Also, thanks to @michelleleewise for giving me advice on this fic. Dividers by: @firefly-graphics
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first time the two of you met, he was hiding from his brother after pulling one of his pranks.
You, were on the kitchen floor hiding in the corner. You had covered your ears from the loud sounds of an irate Thor yelling and fuming while looking for Loki. You tried to stop the sensory overload from getting to you.
It was too much. It was always too much.
Earlier that day, Peter had given you a tour of The Avengers Tower where he had been awarded an internship with STARK Industries. You were so excited and happy for him. He knew that you were a big fan of The Avengers. So, he thought that he could take you to meet them.
“Hey Gigi, it’s gonna be ok,” Peter said to you as he held your hand. Your nickname hung in your ears, calming you down. You’ve always liked how it sounded. So you decided long ago that it would be your chosen name. “They’re gonna love you. I know you’ve wanted to come with me for a while. It’s gonna be fun. You’ll see.”
He was always so patient with you. So endearing. Ever since freshmen orientation, Ned, Peter, and MJ always looked out for you during school.  They understood your need for routine and structure. For quieter spaces and the familiar.
“I – I don’t know about this Peter.” You stammered. You looked down and retreated even further into the giant fluffy hoody you had on. You started breathing faster, the enclosed space of the elevator had suddenly gotten smaller and smaller. The walls were moving in. The ceiling was coming down. All the while the lift was taking you higher and higher.
You were not ready.
“Hey, hey, hey,” Peter said rubbing your arm. “I’m here. I’m here. And you know that I will not let anything happen to you. Ok?” The softness of your hoody rubbed against your skin, soothing you where Peter rubbed your arm. “We can stay for as long as you’d like or leave whenever you want,” he consoled. You simply nodded your head, looking down.
The bell on the lift rang a soft chime and the doors opened to a bright room. Peter stayed standing still, pushing the ‘Door Open’ button on the lift. “Whenever you’re ready, Gigi,” he smiled.
You took a tentative step forward but rocked back on your heels. You bit down on your lip taking deep, concentrated breaths. Peter, bless his soul, was just smiling at you as you took that proverbial leap and walked out onto the hallway of the common rooms.
You were awed at how big and open the space was. Modern furnishings in neutral colors were scattered throughout the great room. The last thing you noticed were the three men coming their way to greet you.
Your eyes widened and you took a deep breath trying to control your nervous energy.
“Hey, Peter. Who’s your friend?” Steve said first, holding out his hand for a shake. You stared at that hand. You couldn’t bring yourself to touch him. You felt unworthy. Here he was! Your hero, Captain America.
You were lost inside yourself. Emotions battled inside of you trying to vie for dominance. Bubbling excitement. Debilitating fear. Sheer embarrassment. You couldn’t even look up into their eyes. You just stood there, a little ways behind Peter, and waved.
“Hey, guys. This is my friend. The one I told you about, Gigi.” Peter introduced you. Steve took back his hand and smiled while he nodded to Peter in understanding.
“Hi.” You said meekly, waving timidly into the air.
“This is Sam. And over here is Tony.” Steve pointed respectively. The two other men said hi.
“Um kid, I need you and your friend to stay here in the common room. I can’t have you guys wandering the tower right now.” Tony Stark said to Peter.
“Sure, Mr. Stark. We weren’t going to go very far anyway. Right, Gigi?” Peter exclaimed looking at you. You looked up with big doe-eyes and shook your head.
“Good.” Sam smiled. “Cuz Thor’s on a rampage right now after Loki put hair dye in his shampoo.” He continued laughing.
“So until we calm him down, it’s best that you guys don’t run into him – or Loki. So stay here in the living room. OK?” Tony asked. Both you and Peter nodded. “Good. Help yourselves to whatever’s in the fridge. There are snacks and beer.” Tony said as he walked away towards the elevator. You retreated further behind your friend. No one noticed, except Peter, who held your hand.
“Tony!” Steve chastised. “They’re not old enough!” Right?” he turned to Sam, asking the last part of his question. “That law hasn’t changed while I was under.”
“Nope. Still the same Cap.” Sam said clapping him on the back as the two soldiers followed Tony into the elevator. Peter held your hand a little longer till you were comfortable enough to let him go.
The living room was huge with large windows that spanned from floor to ceiling. You stood in front of them, basking in the warm sunlight. Peter gave you a small tour of the common rooms and the adjoining kitchen. He pointed out the doors and hallways that would lead to other parts of the tower, “But we can’t go there until Thor calms down. So maybe you’d just have to come back.” Peter smiled.
“It’s too bad that Ned and MJ couldn’t come with us.” You said.
“Well, they’re not really welcome back. Ned kept fangirling over the others. And MJ, well, let’s just say that there is now a tracker located in Mr. Barnes’s metal arm.” He chuckled embarrassedly. You laughed at the idea of Peter’s girlfriend, your BFF, and her insatiable curiosity.
“I’m sure she would’ve given it back. She’s curious about Wakandan technology. I would be too.”
“That’s why you have to come back,” Peter said smiling. “When you’re able to see more of the building.”
Just then, a war cry came in through the hallways making you hide behind Peter.
“Brother! I demand you show your face this instant.” Thor walked out with the brightest red hair. His long golden locks had turned into the color of a ripened tomato, along with his scraggly beard. In truth, you liked the red on Thor. He seemed more regal and more commanding. But his lightning-death stare had you nearly falling to the ground.
“Hey! Mr. Thor, god of thunder, Odinson, sir,” Peter greeted him, trying to shield you.
“Spiderling. Have you seen my brother?” Spiderling? you thought. Thor’s voice boomed, reverberating in your ear. “I know that you harbor him sometimes. Out with it!”
“I haven’t seen him. I swear. I’ve only just arrived with my friend Gi-” Peter turned to point to you but you had already disappeared. “Oh, no, no, no, no. Thor!” Peter said grabbing hold of Thor’s arm. His earlier reticence, gone. “You have to help me find her! She can’t be alone. She’ll get lost! Then she’ll have a panic attack.”
“All right, little spider. I will help you look. Maybe we’ll spot my wicked brother along the way.”
Tumblr media
This was such a bad idea. Right now, you were a mess. Of course, it was loud and boisterous. Agents and heroes running about. All scrambling to find him – Loki, the god of Mischief. Unfamiliar people in an unfamiliar setting.
It was just so much. You cried at the fact that most people would be able to handle the environment they’re in. They can go about their day with little to no care about the noises. Or the lights. Or the smells. Or the feels. You sat there hugging your knees, taking deep shaky breaths.
You opened your eyes to a blurry kitchen. Pots and pans stared back at you as your eyes began to focus and you started to establish where you were.
A small pink petal wafted in front of you. And then another one. Now, I’m hallucinating. Great. Just another thing to add to what’s wrong with me.
But more petals started to show and along with them, came the smell of fresh grass and perfumed flowers. You looked up at the ceiling only to find a large cherry blossom tree sprouted in the middle of the kitchen. Its beautiful branches sprouted up past the ceiling. Their leaves were swayed by a hidden wind. You reached up to touch it, standing, capturing one of them in the palm of your hands.
“This usually helps me when I lose myself.” A deep voice said behind you. You turned around alarmed, knocking down more pots and pans. The loud noise made you cower within yourself further.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you,” he said. You heard his voice, strong but gentle, through your hands covering your ears. “Focus.”
Focus he said, and you did. You focused on one petal at a time. You watched it being plucked from the branches of the tree and slowly make its descent down to the floor. As soon as it touched the tile, it disappeared.
You made a shocked face of awe and wonder. You looked up again watching another petal fall and follow its way down. You followed several other petals until your breathing deepened and slowed.
“Better?” the man asked. And you nodded.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, little one.”
“Other than family and close friends, no one really has the patience to deal with me. Especially when I’m in one of my episodes.” You said sheepishly looking back down.
“As I said, I understand.”
“You’re the god of mischief, aren’t you?”
“Ah, I see my reputation precedes me.”
“I – I recognize you from the news reports and social media.” You said shyly.
“No doubt footage from the New York attack,” Loki said disdainfully. He knew when he was being judged. Another lost cause before they even got to know him.
“Yes! I mean - No. I saw you during the New York attacks. But it made me curious about you. It’s not every day you see mythology come to life. I read about Thor too,” you gushed. Loki rolled his eyes.
“And I read all the stories they wrote about you in the Prose Edda!”
“Thank you.” Loki was filled with pride and reddened slightly. “So, are you to be the cook? What exactly are you doing here in the kitchen, crying on the floor?”
“I came with Peter. He knew I was a big fan of you guys, that you were my heroes. He wanted to bring me along...as a birthday present…” you trailed off.
“Another friend of the spiders? I thought you were all banned from coming back.” Normally, Loki would be appalled to be lumped up with his current teammates. However, when you had adjoined him as a hero, he felt honored.
“Why do you guys keep calling him Spider? Is he-(GASP) -is he an Avenger too?”
“No! No, no, no. Why would you say that? No.” Loki looked at you with wide eyes. There were very few of the Avengers that hid their faces. He forgot that poor Peter was one of them. He’s still too young to have such responsibility as this thrust upon him. Who knows what the world would do when it found out that Peter Parker is Spiderman?
SLAM! The kitchen door opened and Thor burst in, pointing Stormbreaker in Loki’s face.
“AHA! I found you now, brother! Your little tricks gave you away. Your illusions spread outside into the corridors.” Thor boomed.
You hid behind Loki, covering your ears. Thor’s voice boomed with thunder and malice.
“Thor! Stop you’re scaring her!” Peter yelled at him.
“Her, who?” Thor said unable to see past his anger towards his brother. Loki turned around towards you, revealing your hunched figure behind him.
“Focus, little one,” Loki said bending down. You heard his deep soft voice and you looked up to see petals raining down again. Loki enclosed your hands inside his own. When he opened them, a small glass bubble nestled in between your palms. The bubble was smooth and clear like glass. And inside was a miniature cherry blossom tree.
You stood there, enraptured, watching as the leaves on the small tree swirled around inside whenever you shook the bauble.
“It’s yours now. Keep it safe. Shake it when you need to.” Loki said in a calm, soothing voice. “Happy Birthday.”
“Thank you,” you sniffled a small smile as Peter gently rubbed your arm.
“Hey, Gigi. You ok?” Peter asked.
“Yes, Spider. Thank you,” you said looking up at him. Peter’s eyes turned round and his cheeks flush as he scratched his head.
“Spider? Wh-why ever would you call me that? Heh. Um…why don’t we go back outside now.”
“They call you Spider!” You said pointing to the mythological gods. “I thought it was a chosen name. Like mine.” You concluded as Peter led you out.
“Can I ask you more questions about the myths?” You babbled at Loki. “Did you really cut off Sif’s hair? Is Sleipnir-”
“No! He’s not real.” Loki answered quickly. Thor laughed. You quickly turned to face him.
“I like your hair red, by the way. It makes you look more – kingly!” You said to Thor and he ran his fingers through his beard. His smug face appreciated the compliment.
Peter immediately saw the change in you. This is how you normally were in front of him. Curious and bubbly. When you were fixated on something, it hardly gave your mind room to worry about your environment or the unfamiliarity of it all. He took a deep breath knowing that you would be ok.
You were welcomed back almost immediately. A first amongst Peter’s friends. Mainly because you kept the mischievous god in check. He loved having you around. His own ‘fangirl’ as Mr. Stark liked to call you. Mr. Laufeyson would regale you with stories of Asgard and dispel any false myths that you had learned. All the while making sure that you felt at home and safe around the tower. Always willing to shower you with flower petals when you felt pressured or stressed. As if you were in your own tiny slow globe.

Bewitched Love : Peter Parker x Reader
Part 6
Bewitched Love Series Navigation
Tumblr media
Desc. & Warnings: 1.3k wc, see navigation for description and warnings
Tumblr media
Recap:
Everything was going fine until Flint Marko freaked out when Peter sent Electro to the undercroft upon him getting dressed. Peter of course tried to calm Flint. But, when it didn’t work, y/n tried to step closer while explaining what was going on. Only, Flint took it as an advance and tried to strike her with a surge of sand.
Tumblr media
As a result, Peter immediately shot Flint with the gauntlet from Strange without proper explanation.
Once everything settled, Peter placed his mask into his pocket and let out a sigh. “Thank you".
“Peter, if you thank me one more time, I swear,” y/n warned lightly.
Peter nodded when a laugh. He neared y/n, shyly grabbing her hand. However, his timidity left when she wrapped her arms around him and leaned into his embrace. Peter tucked his head over her shoulder, keeping her close.
Y/n pulled away reluctantly. “We should probably call Ned and MJ”.
Peter smiled tiredly. He promptly turned his cracked phone back on. When he had it unlocked, he called Ned. “Hey. Uh, did those guys come through yet? There should be an electric guy and a sand guy”.
MJ laughed quietly at the description Peter gave. “Yeah. They're.... They're all here and locked up.”
Peter sighed and pulled y/n closer to him as she rested her head on his shoulder. “Perfect. I'm gonna just stay here for a bit, and try to fix some of this damage so they don't blame it on me again”.
“Y/n, are you coming back?” MJ asked.
“Not right now” y/n answered, smiling at Peter when he gave her a confused look. “I’m going to stay to help him,” she explained.
After getting off the phone with their friends, Peter softly moved some flyaways from y/n’s forehead, tucking them under her headpiece to keep them in place. When she looked up at him, he gave her a warm smile. “You know you don’t need to stay, right?”.
“Trying to get rid of me Parker?” Y/n teased. Y/n laughed as Peter of course quickly shook his head.
“No, no, no, no” Peter rushed. “I… it’s just, you’ve done a lot today, and I’m really proud!” He smiled widely as he continued his rambling. “But I know it makes you tired, and, well I just don’t want you feeling like that”.
Y/n grinned. “Did you… did you just say you’re proud of me?”
Peter’s cheeks flushed as he nodded bashfully. “Well,… Yeah,” he laughed timidly. “I know how long you’ve been working on that Praesidium spell…” he explained. “Wait… I know it. Hold on,” Peter mumbled.
Y/n giggled warmly as she watched Peter try to recall the spell.
“Oh! Praesidium per mea navitas…” Peter began. “Cosmicam potestatem…. Uhhhh…”. He bit his lip as he gazed at y/n bashfully.
Y/n kissed Peter’s cheek, making them redden. “-super eos,” y/n finished for him. “I can’t believe you remembered that,” she cooed, stroking his warm cheeks with her fingertips.
“Well, most of it,” Peter laughed. He gave her a sweet but apologetic grin.
“No,” y/n gasped and shook her head. “Mea parum aranea,” she whispered softly. “I meant that you remembered I’d been working on it”.
Peter blushed. “Of course I remembered”.
Y/n giggled and kissed Peter’s other cheek.
“What was that one for?” Peter asked shyly. His lips were curled in an awkward smile.
“Do I have to have a reason to kiss you?” Y/n teased.
Peter whipped his head back and forth quickly. “No!”.
Giggling, y/n smiled. “It was because you’re so sweet, pretiosus”.
Peter blushed, burying his face in y/n’s shoulder as he hugged her tightly.
“I’m honored you’re proud of me,” y/n admitted. “But, I’m not sure if it would’ve worked on a current technological force” she argued.
Peter leaned back to see y/n’s face. Tilting his head to the side, he asked, “what do you mean y/n/n?”
Y/n sighed and shrugged. “The glowing guy, Max, Electro?” She began. When Peter nodded that he was following along, y/n continued. “He… well… He was emitting this … old energy”. Seeing Peter’s confusion, y/n elaborated. “It obviously wasn’t Stark Tech, but it wasn’t even to the level of our standard power grid. It was older, weaker”.
Peter hummed quietly, deep in thought.
“I think he’s absorbed more of our modern energy now as he seems more mixed, but he hadn’t at the time he shot at you,” y/n concluded.
Peter shrugged. “It doesn’t matter, I’m still proud of you”. He leaned over y/n and placed a hesitant nervous kiss to the top of her head. Even after all they been through he found himself a bumbling fool around Y/n.
“Besides, you also freaking telepathically moved the uniform to you?! Without even seeing it?!” Peter gasped.
Y/n nodded shyly, rubbing her arms bashfully. “I didn’t want to show you that one until I got it down. I may have broken a few custom designed plates”.
Peter chuckled lightly. “Custom plates?”
“Yeah, I can’t figure out how to do it with generic things…yet,” y/n told Peter. “But, if I can picture the exact thing, with all its unique details, it usually works.”
Peter nodded and smiled. “You can try to talk me out of it all you want, I’m still proud. You did amazing and were a huge help. Even if I can’t say the two words you know I want to say.”
Y/n laughed loudly. She promptly covered her mouth.
Peter pulled y/n’s hand down from face. “Don’t hide from me, mihi hyacintho flos,” he whispered.
Y/n and Peter gazed warmly at each other in silence. However, they jumped apart when one of the fallen power lines suddenly sparked loudly. They both bashfully giggled.
“Well,” y/n began, redirecting the topic. “You’re not taking me out of helping. MJ and Ned will handle the situation from their end while I help you”.
“You’re better with this multiverse stuff,” Peter argued lightly. It was true, but it wasn’t the only reason he suggested y/n help their friends. Instead, it was less physical labor than what he had to do tonight. Peter wanted y/n to rest rather than have to help him reinstall the towers.
Y/n shrugged. “They don’t need my level of understanding when they’re all locked up” she argued. “Plus, I’ll help weld the metal pieces together. That way your webs aren’t what’s holding it; so it’s less obvious you were involved," she suggested.
Peter agreed appreciatively. He quickly covered his mouth as he almost thanked y/n. But he smirked underneath his hand when she gave his cheek a kiss in response.
Tumblr media
It didn’t take the two very long to fix the mess. Or, it didn’t feel that long since they’d kept each other company. Either way, it was dark when they finished the cleanup and restoration of the area.
As such, Peter led them to the utility shed to sleep. He arranged the uniforms to make a bed/pad the floor. From there, Peter used the hanging workers’ coats to cover y/n as she laid on his chest.
“You know, if you wanted to play a more dangerous version of Pokémon Go, you could’ve just said so,” y/n teased quietly as she snuggled into Peter’s chest.
Peter chuckled loudly, grinning down at y/n’s smirking figure. “Mmmm,” he hummed, “well, hopefully, we’ve only got one left before we can say we caught them all.”
Y/n nodded against him. “Right, that evil green thing that attacked you, right?” she asked quietly.
Peter hummed dejectedly. “But, that’s a problem for tomorrow.” He smiled as y/n nodded and began sinking into his chest. “For now, just sleep,” Peter whispered.
“You too, Parker,” y/n teased.
Peter smiled. “I will”.
“You better, or else I’ll see to it myself,” y/n murmured, curling her legs up slightly.
“You know a sleeping spell?” Peter wondered.
Y/n smirked. “I just meant I’d hit you with that wrench there,” she said, pointing to the bench in the utility shed that had a toolbox on it.
Peter laughed, his torso shaking y/n a bit as he did. He placed a soft kiss to the top of her head, more surely this time. His eyes closed, “still so proud”.

ello bones hope youre doing good
just found even more cool songs thanks to you, how do you always have more???
also WE COULDVE HAD YOU DOING ASL??? aw man :( (/lh)
anyway, I just turned in my paper that ive been working on for the last few months (yay, finally, it ate like all of my free time and energy) and suddenly I have too much free time and not much too read or watch (I had saved so many fics I cant manage to read anymore)
any coming of age books (or fics) or movies recommendations? (I need me some honey and tangerines vibes yk? ive been listening to the playlist too much again. one day I think ill read that fic again, but today is not the day)
much love to go you all in the ask box, eli <3
I'm doing pretty good! went to a yoga class tonight and I'm seeing the tommyinnit live show tomorrow so it's shaping up to be a pretty great weekend!
I actually filmed a video to post here on language day and everything but I wanted to redo it so my face wasn't fully in frame but then I just didn't get around to it :( oh well next time
OOO congrats on turning in that paper!! that's a huge accomplishment, I hope you get a great grade on it. and yay for free time!
oh boy ok coming of age recs I can do this. I haven't read any coming of age books since I was a teenager though so keep in my my memory of these are all hazy
books:
the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky - hallmarker of the coming of age genre, read this when I was 16 and cried, even if you've seen the movie I highly recommend the book
aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe by benjamin alire saenz - literally was one of my favorite books for so many years. I read it when I was 15 and became obsessed with it. I still look back on it so warmly it's just such a great book
it's kind of a funny story by ned vizzini - also read this one when I was like 16ish. I remembered enjoying it but not as much as the other two I've listed here. still very good though!
movies:
cha cha real smooth (2022) - actually one of my favorite coming of age films I've ever seen. it's a coming of age film about a guy in his early 20s instead of in his teens which is refreshing in its own. it hit particularly hard for me because I saw it when I was 22 and freshly graduated from college unsure what to do, the main character is 22 and freshly graduated from college unsure what to do. it's also a very unique setup and I really loved how they pulled it off
the edge of seventeen (2016) - this might be a controversial pick because the main character is actually pretty insufferable in this, but that's part of why I enjoyed it. the character is meant to be insufferable. she's a teenage girl dealing with the hell of being a teenage girl and she sucks! it's an intentional thing and it does it very well! I would say it still falls flat in some areas, but I'm mainly recommending it because it's so refreshing to have an mc genuinely be a shitty person
sing street (2016) - I count this as a coming of age movie but it's also kind of a music movie? it's incredibly fun no matter what. the songs are so catchy, the characters are all great, and the relationships are just all very well done
the kings of summer (2013) - genuinely why do I never hear anyone talk about this movie. I haven't seen it in so long but I remember it being incredibly funny with a great dose of summertime whimsy
hunt for the wilderpeople (2016) - tbh I never thought of this as a coming of age movie and it might be a bit different than most of the films on here but I was looking up lists of coming of age movies to try and remember which ones I've seen and I saw this one mentioned a few times. if you're a fan of taika waititi films, in my opinion this is his best one hands down. it's hilarious but also incredibly sweet and heartwarming at the same time
moonrise kingdom (2012) - very charming and storybook esque in the way all wes anderson films are, but with a really sweet story between two kids at its core. again, different from most of the ones on this list, but definitely an enjoyable one all the same
hope this list helps!

I watched Spider-Man: No Way Home aka Spider-Man: The Fix-it Fic Comes to the Silver Screen on the plane and I have thoughts. So many thoughts that this post is going to be pure madness. Warning for absurd length and unmarked spoilers. Let's get into it.
So you know how in the back half of Titanic the guy sees the iceberg and they start hard turning to the left and even though you know what happens you always think maybe, maybe this time it'll be ok. But of course it isn't, because it's such a huge slow ship that it can't course correct in time and instead the iceberg gouges the hull and the ship sinks to the bottom of the ocean and everyone dies? But Rose survives so there's a sense of hope?
Anyway yeah so that was my experience of watching this movie.
Director Jon Watts has received your notes about MCU Spider-Man. He has seen the iceberg and is pulling the ship hard to the left. At any moment I felt like he was going to materialize in the seat beside me and say "I've been reading your tweets, Fractal."
"I heard that you hate that MCU Peter is rich and living Miles Morales' life and has no emotional connection to the Peter Parker character. And I fixed it. ALL OF IT. I even killed Marisa Tomei so you don't have to be confused by your attraction to Aunt May anymore. Are you happy now??"
And yeah, I kinda am. I really do appreciate how utterly blatant a fix it this was. And the balls to not only fix MCU Spider-Man but also try to fix the OTHER Spider-Mans. Which didn't really need fixing, but the jolt of serotonin I got from seeing Toby Maguire as Spider-Man again cured my depression, so.
It's weird to talk about NWH as a movie though, because it's just not a traditional three act thing. It's more like a serialized fanfic. The plot unfolds episodically, very "and then this thing happened." The first half hour in particular needed to either be pared down or expanded because these should-be impactful scenes just rush by until you're watching Holland Facetiming Zendaya and he says "I'm famous but I'm still broke!" and your brain kind of chokes up and goes---what? Wait, Peter, what happened to all that good good Stark money? (Please do not tell me what happened to that good good Stark money. I don't care.)
Let's try to talk about it as a movie for a sec though. And listen, I don't want to be mean to Tom Holland here, but he was outclassed by Maguire and even Garfield. Part of the problem is that both of them pull off "emotionally damaged" in a way that I don't think Holland really does---Holland excels at the happy-go-lucky fanboy Spider-Man. Macguire has always effortlessly projected this depressive moroseness to his Parker, and his bit as the Spider-Man who's Working On Himself is so fucking good. I desperately wanted to follow him back to his universe. See Kirsten Dunst and find out what's going on with them. Maybe watch them make lasagna.
Garfield had a harder role because he had to deliver so much exposition, but I thought it mostly worked. I like how he has this constant anxious energy and managed to find a way to feel alienated even from other Spider-Mans, which is such a classic Peter Parker thing to do. I also am pulling so hard for Sony to put him in the next Venom movie. If the reviewers thought the last one was a tentacle porn fiasco, just wait for this next one. (Also how does Garfield still have SO MUCH HAIR.)
This is already stupid long so just a few notes on the villains---it's so obvious that the first two Raimi films are the best because Dafoe and Molina are in a league of their own. So much fun to see them act together (and yeah, I ship it). Also, you can really feel that Dafoe is doing this own stunts. His fights with Holland felt brutal in a way I'm not used to seeing in a Marvel film.
A couple stray observations:
So Ned's going to be the villain next time, right? He's going to become Hobgoblin?
Making J Jonah Jameson into Alex Jones is genius, I love everything about it. Can't wait to watch Peter stoop to selling them photos
Speaking of which, the making everyone forget is a neat trick, because it justifies the Avengers not helping out this struggling kid. At least for a little while.
Gonna be honest, kinda felt like Cumberbatch was phoning it in for this one. Didn't buy that he'd be willing to help Peter (would have believed he was intrigued by the spell).
Loved that Aunt May worked at FEAST. Loved the endless references to Spider-Lore because unfortunately "I got that reference" does still dispense serotonin
Does anything about this movie make sense if you haven't seen every Spider-Movie at least twice?

well sapnap was getting glitched out for a bit so maybe I will be a little evil a little silly if u will but a little rant under the read more abt the zach thing
I mean right off the bat I feel a resounding disappointment. I haven't really watched the try guys in a while and I do still feel bad for them—Ned was irresponsible and his actions left the rest of the Guys and his family scrambling to save their company, their reputations, and just their lives as they knew it, and they faced tons of heat online for 'covering it up' before they released their explanation video last weekend. We especially have seen how horrible internet users can be to people they think are condemnable, and I'm certain they were on the receiving end of that hate.
That being said, you'd think that Zach would know a lot better than to turn around and do that same thing to someone else. I don't know if he ever saw the full extent of the bullying he faced on the internet after the reveal, but idk I'd think regardless saying that someone should be bullied more for their looks shouldn't even be a tweet that should've crossed his mind???
Idk on one hand I get it, there's rife misinformation about Dream being a catch-all for every single horrible thing someone can be, but even then you don't ADVOCATE for bullying based on their looks?? Like at the very least you aim for their actual idiocy and call out the apparent hypocrisy (even if it's untrue). Then to double down and say that encouraging bullying someone's looks is a "hot take" was just fanning the fucking flames. Like come on, there's a brain up there, I saw it during the video that they posted that explained their situation and their stances in the best possible way. He's being an idiot and definitely deserves people calling out his hypocrisy and for how easily he stooped to the lowest level without even looking into possible misinformation, especially given the last couple of weeks he's had too. Hope he learns from this, but he's not really worth the energy and it's way better to ignore him than fight with try guys defenders given that he's in a much more sympathetic position with the greater internet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
also don't love the "oh I knew it"s and the turning around and bullying him back because it's only fodder for people to fight back—it's not worth it and it's way better for people to see that he's an asshole instead of people seeing us on the same wavelength. just my personal MO though I get it's not for everyone and it's not my place to tell anyone what to do lmfao

I’ve been going back and forth on posting this because one, I’m not in the Hollywood group scene anymore and two, was it really worth my while to spend energy writing this? Ultimately, I decided with yes because I believe it’s important to know who is in your tags and why this group/this player is banned from most (if not all) groups and why it’s a constant merry go round with her.
I first met Lindsay in a Hollywood group and she seemed kind enough. She consistently praised my characters, messaged me to give compliments, asked to plot and I thought she was genuine. I thought nothing of the endless supply of nice words until I came across accounts with the same character…almost shockingly similar to mine. Tags were copied/reblogs were copied/and even plots were copied. I called her out on it, she apologized, and I thought we could move on. This happened for several years with not only me but other accounts. She’d always apologize, promise she’d never do it again…and then repeat the process. It seemed like she didn’t have an original bone in her body. Unfortunately, this was a time where the concept of “receipts” wasn’t a thing so I never took screenshots but there’s multiple members of the rpc that could back me up.
She’s been banned from multiple groups for either pressuring members to do pregnancy storylines (she seems to have an obsession with them), or making up fake histories just to give her character children or applies as a pregnant fc so she can play a pregnancy plot. In a Hollywood group I was an admin in, she requested a pregnancy plot and then we came to find out she had never even asked her partner for permission. She’s also been banned for inconsistent activity. She’ll join a group, make one starter, come back for ask memes, and then go inactive….and then repeat the process. She’s also aware she’s been banned from the groups and still tries to apply under an alias. Multiple Hollywood rp groups can also vouch for that.
And while this may not matter to some, it matters to me: she’s told a friend that she wouldn’t be interested in doing a f/f ship because she doesn’t play characters “that way”. She’s applied for openly bisexual characters and then claimed they “prefer men”. She’s made multiple posts about how she is “pro-life” and it’s apparent she’s a Trump supporter. Again - maybe not a big deal to anyone else but for me, that tells me exactly the kind of person she is.
Again - I’m not in this scene anymore. This really doesn’t effect me in one way or the other. But I just thought the community should know her history and the kind of person she has proven herself to be. Here is another PSA written about her. (Please note that in response to this PSA, the writer was blocked and then the original post was deleted rather than her owning up and apologizing)
Here are the aliases she normally goes by - Marie, A, L, M and she likes to apply mostly for Lili Reinhart face claims (a good majority of the Riverdale fcs), Sophie Turner, Selena Gomez, Zoe Sugg, Hilary Duff, Troian Bellisario, Lucy Hale, Gigi Hadid, etc.

i’m not excusing for what ned did - his behavior was disgusting and toxic and i’m glad he was kicked out of the try guys
but for the longest time, he was my favorite. i bought his color in the try guys shirts. i never thought his “my wife” bit was obnoxious and i enjoyed how much he shared of his family. (ariel continues to be my queen) i thought he was funny, he was clearly smart and i think a lot of the business was due in thanks to him.
to read that everybody hated him all along and that the try guys are glad to have him gone and nobody liked him to begin with blows my mind. was i his only fan or was i just oblivious to all of his apparent red flags? again- not defending him, not saying he shouldn’t have consequences, just saying it’s been crazy to see that literally nobody was sad to see him go.

Apparently Ned fulmer from try guys cheated on his wife with an associate employee. He’s the boss, and he is getting dragged online for it - and this is all speculation. Where is the energy for girlboss and Jack? Harry has it so easy right now, that when he falls, it will be highly damaging and he won’t be able to control or tolerate it
There is a video of Ned and that employee, though. That's why it went viral. It was also sent to Ned's wife and the employee's fiance.
Unfortunately, I was able to correctly guess which employee it was that Ned was fooling around with. She was engaged. I'm saying was because her fiance has unfollowed her and set his social media sites to private.

Fresh-Eyed Review of A Game of Thrones (1996)
As a disabled autistic person, I really took to the Song of Ice and Fire series back in my youth. I decided to try reading it on a whim when I was 15 years old, year 2014. And I loved it in a way I rarely love things. However, it's been a long time. I've now just turned 24 years old, the year is 2022, and I decided to reread AGOT on a whim again after reading the Dunk & Egg series. So, what did I think about it?
George is my favorite author. Clear and simple. If I didn't know any better, I'd think he was actually entering Planetos himself and documenting what he saw there. I love how descriptive he is, how much attention to detail he has, how compelling the characters are. I thought that in 2014, and I think that again now.
I was a child when I read it and viewed these things through those childhood eyes. Now I'm an adult, and I do see things I never saw before. Now that I'm old enough to understand certain things, I absolutely dread Daenerys chapters where I used to love them. I think her chapters are my biggest complaint about AGOT. They are so needlessly oversexualized. I've seen some arguments this way and that on why she's sexualized the way that she is, but it doesn't stop the fact that she's still written the way she is. Without getting too into spoilers... she deserved a lot better and George really failed her when he wrote her. I just made a Reddit post documenting my feelings about it, and I have no more energy to discuss this at present. But feel free to message me if you want to discuss it!
Dany aside, though, I have as much love now as I did then for everyone else. In fact, I found myself loving Sansa a lot more than I did before. Originally, Sansa had been my least favorite chapters. Now, I love her. To me, she comes off as a gullible autistic child who wanted the world to be as her special interest of songs and stories was, and she had a rude awakening when the manipulation she fell for led to the death of loved ones. Most of her story is told in her thoughts, which makes it so her show counterpart is very boring and hard to relate to. However, book!Sansa is very appealing and relatable. I wish I appreciated her better back then.
Jon is a lot more clearly kind of a whiny emotional teenager, and good for him. Also, I do believe he and Samwell are boyfriends. Sorry. I don't make the rules.
I'm also delighted by Jon having mechanical difficulties with his hands after the incident in the tower. Something I always loved about ASOIAF was its huge cast of disabled characters -- Tyrion, Jon, Stoneheart, Davos, Jaime, to name a few. It feels good.
Littlefinger littlefingering is also fun. Something that I had forgotten after having watched the show is that Littlefinger is everyone's friend, aside from maybe Cat and Ned. He's a very, very friendly guy who plays all sides. The show makes him out to be a weasel that everyone knows sucks... it's hard to manipulate so many people if they know what you're up to. That in contrast to how Varys is even less trusted than Littlefinger but is a better person than him? I loved that.
I like the book for the most part. I have half a mind to start skipping Dany chapters when I start the next book, but maybe it'll be better this time around? Who knows.
AMA, by the way! I love talking about ASOIAF and I love discussing things and reliving the same excitement I felt originally reading it in high school.
