instagram is home to his aesthetic ,  where he’ll parkour up a tall building and post a shot of London’s sunset ,  or update his story with videos of Daisy singing along to Moana’s  “  you’re welcome  ” ,  or brag about his high scores in Call of Duty .   he’s a regular poster ,  and has a couple thousand followers   -----------   well - earned over several years .   he’s definitely not instagram famous ,  but gaining enough traction to be considered successful .

AHHH NOOO .

though tbh ,  does he even remember when Mother’s Day  is  ???   i’ve been living on Earth my whole life and I don’t remember when Mother’s Day is jskfhskjfhsf

he’s probably spent too long in outer space to remember the date ,  but  a.  i’m sure every day is Mother’s Day when u didn’t get to say goodbye  :))))  and  b.  i’m sure different planets and different cultures out there had their own ways of showing appreciation to the moms ,  and i’m sure if Peter witnessed these traditions it would kill him inside ,  truly tear him up ,  but he’d smile and take part and come up with some story about how his mom was somewhere out in space ,  growing her own gardens on a planet made of light .  the kinds of stories he used to make up about his dad ,  when he was a kid and going through a different process of coping   …   only these stories are much cooler bc Ego isn’t worth anything to Peter now .

he’d probably sit in his ship and pray to his Gods ,  pray that somehow his dumb stories are true ,  that his mom is out there somewhere and she’s happy ,  reincarnated into the life she deserves .   he prays to Hanuman for strength because boy  !   he sometimes really ,  really needs it .  reads over the letter that Mallika left him as if it’s holy scripture ,  memorising each word and trying to imagine her saying it ,  but knowing that picturing her face is getting harder ,  because time is cruel and it rips away from you sometimes .
