(Or Logan asking)

There’s the fact he distrusted Magneto, because while he did save the twins from being persecuted and claimed it was fate, he coincidentally hides his hair (a point of tension for Pietro) under that helmet.

And when Pietro dreams of the night his mother abandoned them, he projects his feelings of being rejected onto her.

He’s never seen Magda before (and this is stylistically fantastical) but he doesn’t subconsciously imagine her having his hair color, and is a subtle detail that supports the reading of Pietro thinking their mother saw he was different and bailed. Because that’s what he’s used to.

It’s also, later, one of the reasons he suspected Magneto to be related to him—even if Erik’s white hair isn’t likely an effect of mutation.

It’s heavily implied to have whitened over time for Erik; I theorize from stress (Have you ever experienced solo tanking? I can’t blame him lol) because of how he was depicted with black hair as a child in the one comic that’s about his childhood (See, Magneto Testament) and yet had white hair as a young adult. Since there isn’t any story I know of personally that says Erik stood out for his white hair (he’s faced discrimination, yes, but not for the white hair), unlike Pietro. So I am inclined to believe it’s seen as a natural and gradual change that, even more coincidentally, makes him look more like Pietro.

Pietro canonically feeling like an outsider for his features parallels the experiences of mixed Roma living in Eastern Europe—and while I doubt Sean McKeever specifically intended it beyond the mutant aspects of Magneto being Quicksilver’s father—it means telling that story someday would still fit seamlessly with Pietro’s character.

Whether it’s because he’s mixed, a mutant, or has albinism, Pietro will always be judged for looking different.

I dont know about anyone else

But I am perpetually hovering three inches above the strong subconscious belief that everyone knows what they're doing at all times except me, so if you change your normal patterns and I notice, then I will assume it is an intentional choice with a thought-out plan behind it and I will avoid interfering

"I feel like I'm the only one who does this chore. Can we start taking turns?"

"I'd like you to ask me how I'm doing more often."

"It bothers me when this area stays messy so long. Can you do X when Y happens?"

"I feel like the onus is on me to initiate X, and it's wearing me down. Could you try making the first move more? Like 3-4 times a week?"

"I'm feeling upset right now and I'd like to spend some time with you."

"When X happens, I feel like you're taking my work for granted."

"I'm feeling neglected. Could you do X?"

"I'm burnt out and need help."

"I feel like I'm the only one putting effort into X."

"Do you notice this?"

"Are you bothered by this?"

"I am bothered when this happens."

"X habit of yours bothers me."

be a lurker. just read things and think about them without feeling the need to weigh in or call out or disseminate everything you encounter. it's so nice and so freeing and it's a good way to learn things.
