The Avengers Watching A Film In The Tower:

Post-NWH peter getting a tattoo of 1. his name (in case somehow the spell starts affecting HIM too) 2. the handwritting of his loved ones.

He gets a heart that May drew on a note in his lunch, that he kept. He gets MJ's initials in her handwriting, taken off a letter she wrote him and slipped in his locker. He gets a drawing Tony once did on his robotics homework, of DUM-E (and he dosn't include the caption Stark wrote, "this is DUM"), and he gets Ned's writing, "guy in the chair", a "signature" he once left on a paper after Peter traced out the plan for one of his patrols.

Peter spent the last of his money on them. If he died before they remember him, he wants them with him.

(He finds, after that, that Peter is a lot more careful about his injuries. He hadn't had the motivation, until now, to stop himself from getting hurt. But he couldn't get an injury where the tattoos were. He couldn't mess up the last piece of them.)

remember when percy used to just casually bribe people? and then target their insecurity to manipulate them to get what he wanted? because i do. every day.

Have you ever looked at the ANBU tattoo and seen a hand holding a flame? ANBU, the hand, carrying the flame, Konoha?

Or is it just me?

Protecting the flame from the shadows.

Thank you @charming-mug for this screenshot from the video game "Marvel's Midnight Suns".

I'm losing my mind. This quote, from an official source, has made my week. Because thats exactly it! Thats the point! It's not that Tony looks as Peter and wants to adopt him because hes just so cute or anything. Tony looks at Peter and sees himself!

He sees himself in miniature. He sees a kid with all the potential that Tony wasted, all the potential that Tony mourned throwing away. Tony wants to make sure that Peter gets all the parts of Tony that Tony is proud of, and that Peter avoids the parts that still haunt Tony.

Tony gives Peter tech. He gives him access to the lab, new suits, and academic validation. He tries to make sure that Peter gets the chance to grow up as surrounded by tech as Tony did.

But! Tony is there! He actually helps, he makes sure Peter knows that the tech is a gift, and its there because Tony thinks Peter is worthy of it. And Tony is somewhat strict (ferry scene, yelling in infinity war, ect.) because I'm sure a part of him wishes that Howard had stopped Tony from partying and throwing his life away.

Irondad works so well, in my opinion, because its not that Tony thinks that he would be a good dad and so he finds some kid to take in. Its good because Tony finds a piece of himself in the way Peter behaves, and he starts feeling responsible for it. He is PUSHED into parenthood by his sense of responsibility and guilt over his past.

Tony looks at peter and sees who he could have been. He wants to make sure that Peter ends up better than him. Tony wants to right the wrongs done to him, to make sure Peter doesn’t experience the hurt that followed Tony into adulthood.

(And then Peter lost a mother-figure and a father-figure, and both were killed in a way that Peter doesn’t feel right to blame the murderer for their deaths. And Peter got put into the public eye, every movement criticized. And the Peter was so famous that his "bad publicity" held him back from his dream school.

Tony wanted Peter never to experience the things that hurt Tony. But Toy didn't live long enough to watch as all his efforts were proven to be in vain.

Because history repeats. The son becomes the father. Theres only one way this story ends.)

It takes them a while to notice, but after Tartarus, Percy and Annabeth realize that they're being attacked far less than they used to. Annabeth reasons that their journey has proven their strength and that monsters now avoid them out of fear. Percy thinks that the monsters see no difference between themselves and him now…he wonders if they’re right.

percy never promised to keep bianca safe and we have failed as a fandom because so many people think he did.

this is page 119 of the titan's curse. it's definitely a matter of wordplay, but "ill do my best" is NOTHING close to a surefire promise. he never promised.

thats not to say i don't understand where the confusion came from. this is page 290 of house of hades.

rick riordan himself says it-- but it. just. isn't. like i NEED to talk about this cause i keep seeing "percy promised" thrown around the fandom. "i'll do my best" isn't a promise. percy never promised.

Real

Percy: Where's dad?

Triton: Don't worry, I'll find him.

Triton, shouting: Percy Jackson is stupid!

Percy: Hey!

Poseidon, distantly: Percy is the smartest demigod ever! The greatest! Even better than Hercules and Athena's spawns! Whoever said that will taste this trident-

Triton: Found him.

thalia: i can cause lightning

percy: so can i

thalia: okay yeah but only when you’re creating big storms, and you can’t direct it

thalia:

percy: so can i. with storms.

thalia: i can make heavy rain

percy: so can my storms—

thalia: and thunder!

percy: you can see where i’m going with this, right?

thalia, glaring at him: fuck off, percy

percy: okay. should i take my storms full of rain, wind, thunder, and lightning with me?

thalia, rolling her eyes: i really don’t know how annabeth deals with you

percy: she likes storms

"but they are not canon"

Do I look like I give a fuck
