Rambling about Spidey

Could you maybe do one where Peter gets in trouble/hurt late at night on patrol and he’s frantically texting Tony to come pick him up?

omg hii! i LOVE your art!! sorry this is super short but i mean tony just had to be there asap😭 hope you like it!

EDIT: WTH WHY DID I SAY THAT PETER LEFT HIS PHONE AT HOME HOW'D HE BE TEXTING- i mean uh through karen obviously...

IN MY DEFENSE I WAS SLEEP DEPRIVIED, RUNNING ON CAFFEINE AND STUDYING ALL DAY.

She says those words. About power and the responsibility that comes with it. And Peter already wasn't faring well with the situation, but those words--

He's not Spider-Man anymore. He's not an 18 year old superhero, honorary Avenger, fighting for the sake of the universe. He's back to being a 14 year old kid, kneeling on the pavement with his Uncle in his arms.

Look at this face and tell me doesn't cry with May during Slipping Through My Fingers scene during Mamma Mia

peter adores tony, but tony builds this emotional wall between them from the get-go, mostly because he’s afraid he’s going to be a bad influence. At the beginning of the mentorship he keeps peter at an arms length, because he knows everything he touches turns to ruin.

I certainly think that, in the earliest stages of their relationship, before peter started to see the more human side of him, he would copy his mannerisms, even simple little things like the way he stands with his hands in his pockets or the way he nods at the receptionist when he walks into one of his fancy business buildings. He thought that maybe, if he was more like tony, tony would like him more.

SCENARIOS:

when they’re in the lab, peter copies little things about tony, the way he sits, the way he stands with his arms crossed, the way he moves seamlessly around the room swiping at holograms and picking up tools in a controlled, chaotic dance. At this point, peter doesn’t know where everything is in the lab yet, but he feels insecure asking, so he just kind of fumbles around until tony helps him.

peter yells at DUM-E to pass him things the way tony does, except DUM-E doesn’t listen to him.

peter starts picking up some of the sayings that tony has, even the less… school appropriate ones.

peter gets kidnapped while he’s out on patrol. it’s the first time this has happened, and quite frankly he’s terrified. when tony is scared he doesn’t show it. so, he tries to act all tough and smart like tony. it only ends up making the kidnappers more angry with him, and they hurt him more.

after this, tony has a heart to heart with peter about all this, sort of an expansion on the classic “I just wanted to be like you / I wanted you to be better” moment from Homecoming, where he explains to him that he likes him just the way he is, and the reason he’s been so distant is because he doesn’t want to rub off on him.

peter explains that the reason he’s doing all that in the first place is he wants tony to be proud of him, and think he’s worth his time.

from there, they start to open up to each other.

(No pressure obvi)

(pls don’t post if anon is broken)

happy pride month!!! here is a list of some ftm peter parker headcanons, compiled by myself and my pals. 🏳️‍⚧️💕🤍🩵

^Found this on Pinterest and it got me thinkinggg^

So obviously it's referring to how in Spiderman: Homecoming, we get to see clips of the battle during Civil War from Peter's pov on his phone.

But taking this and making it Infinity War??? It's got my writer brain buzzing! Just imagine:

-As he jumps out the window of the bus after seeing the spaceship hovering over New York, you get really shaky footage of him swinging towards the chaos, along with "Looks like aliens are invading.. again. Except this time they're using a Giant Metal Donut as a ship? Honestly thought it would look much cooler. Star Wars did it better." He gets to the scene of Tony getting his ass handed to him by the alien gorilla thing "Oh- there's Mr. Stark! And.. he's.. I think he insulted one of the aliens, I need to go help him- I'll be back in a second" Video ends

-As Peter, in the brand new Iron Spider suit, sneaks onto the alien space ship after Tony thinks he got sent back to Earth, narrating breathlessly "So.. change of plan.. I am now on the spaceship that is apparently owned by an alien that looks like Squidward.. did not see that coming. He hit me with a metal sign too.. not cool.. head still hurts a bit from that. But anyways.. I gotta help Mr. Stark find this wizard guy before Squidward gets the necklace from him." Theres a crash and the camera turns to where we see Tony making his way onto the ship. "There's Mr. Stark.. okay.. thank God.. thought it might've been something else. Uh.. ok. I'll be back." Video ends.

-Next video starts with some scenery of the debris on Titan. "Alright.. so.. lotta stuff happened.. uh.. saved the wizard.. was made an Avenger, met a small team of space heroes?" The camera flips around to Peter, zooming in over his shoulder as Quill is speaking to Tony, while Drax and Mantis do their own thing "I Was briefly taken hostage.. but we're cool now. They're led by some human.. I think.. called Starlord or something. He thinks Footloose is the greatest movie of all time for some reason? I don't think he's seen Star Wars.. then there's a weird bug girl.. and some buff alien guy" Camera focuses on Peter again. "But we're all on the same side. Apparently we have to now fight another big purple alien named Thanos to keep him from getting Dr. Strange's necklace.." We hear Tony summon Peter over to the conversation "Ok, duty calls.. gotta go-" Video ends

she used to sit with Peter and Ned because they’re nerds too and probably felt less bad than the others. When asked why she’s sitting with them she says it’s because she doesn’t have any friends.

then during the aca deca trip she spent more time with them, even went to the swimming pool, even if she only sat on the outline and read, she was part of the group activity.

despite not having friends MJ says to Peter when they stand in front of the Washington Monument “My friends are up there”. She could’ve said classmates or teammates and I think if she wanted to she would’ve, so I don’t think she said “friends” because it was the fastest thing to get Spiderman to safe them, showing that now she thinks of the aca deca teammates as her friends.

and of course, in the end, when MJ becomes the new captain of the aca deca team, she says “my friends call me MJ” and when Ned says that he thought she didn’t have any friends she answer with “I didn’t”, meaning that now she has.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that we don’t talk enough about how MJ was a complete character with character traits and who didn’t only stay the same despite being a side character. It’s giving hints that she would be important in te following movies even before she said that she’s called ‘MJ’. The writers did a good job there.

he kept his promise

or maybe peter’s gonna be like this during doomsday while spending time with MJ

I absolutely agree with ALL of this. Here’s my two cents:

Whenever a romance scene (even if it’s just a couple kissing) comes up in a movie Tony and Peter are watching, Tony covers Peter’s eyes all dramatically as a joke, like “oh!!! you can’t watch that!!! ooh!!!” but then one time he did and Peter was like “hey thanks man” so now he just keeps doing it. It’s like their thing.

He likes things like holding hands, hugs, cuddling, and kissing, but anything more is like “WE’VE REACHED THE DANGER ZONE”. I think he definitely has a few special people (May, Tony, MJ) who he feels very safe with and feels okay with them touching him. I think this has some intersectionality with his autism as well— I personally also have a lot of sensory issues regarding being touched and my personal space, and I can definitely see Peter struggling with something similar that makes it hard for him to ask for/accept physical affection (despite being touch-starved).

Peter gets crushes on people, but in like a “I admire their work ethic” or “I bet we could have some really cool discussions” type of way. I think he’s definitely more drawn to people with good, genuine personalities. This is why his relationship with MJ makes sense because, despite the front she puts up, she’s very smart and aware of the world around her (politics, world history, etc). She’s observant, she’s an artist, and though she may seem distant at first, she really does care very deeply. She mirrors and compliments Peter in a lot of ways.

That’s not to say he doesn’t find physical aspects of people attractive, though. I have a headcanon that Peter has a special interest in movies and photography (the reason why he can reference so many movies AND later becomes a photographer for the Daily Bugle), so he has a very sharp eye for composition and often gets distracted by things like good lighting or complimenting colors in his environment. When he finds people physically attractive, it usually looks like “the way the light catches their eyes is so beautiful, it makes them look so alive” or “their skin tone with that color sweater looks amazing”. He notices the small things about people that make them truly beautiful. It’s a lot more nuanced than “they’re hot”.

As I mentioned earlier, I like to think his asexuality also has some intersectionality with his autism. This is just from my personal experience, but I know my autism has definitely impacted the way I perceive certain things that other people view as normal, and ever since I learned about sex I just thought it was just weird and gross, in all of its forms. My mom told me I would understand when I was older, and it’s been years, and I still don’t get it, so….. yeah. I just don’t have a desire for that sort of thing. I feel like he’d probably be a similar way.
