A VIDA PREEESTAAAA

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.)

QUE BELA NOITE PRA SER BRASILEIRO PORRA

BRASIL NÚMERO UMMMMM

Do you ever see someone have such a fundamentally wrong interpretation of your favorite/comfort character that you have to close tumblr and restrain yourself from throwing your phone across the room

reminder that percy's rebellious nature. often linked to the lack of restraint he inherits from his father. could also derive from the abusive and toxic environments he grew up in. and him undermining the authoritative rule of the adults in his life was likely a defense mechanism. because it was the only thing he could control when every aspects of his life felt like someone was plotting his downfall. so.

Reasons why the rest of the JL believes Batman and all of his children are metas/cryptids

-Weirdly good instincts

-They only see the bat and kids at night

-Hasn’t died

-If they have died, they came back within the year

-The JL has seen all of them at one point or another stay up for 96 hours straight and act semi-normally

-One time Batman was stabbed and started bleeding green(it was slime Bruce packed for kids to play with if they were at a crime scene)

-Red Robin didn’t cry while watching A Dogs Purpose for Young Justice’s movie night(he did, the mask hid his tears)

-They all know an absurd amount of Golf facts

-Somehow none of them age

-All of them are friends with a super

Wonder Women has the list and they update it after every mission.

Only been watching The Pitt for a few days but Mel King is THE best autistic character ever written in a medical drama. She doesn't "make connections no one else can" or "just see things differently" or any other Savant with Special Abilities stereotypical bullshit, she's a resident physician who's exactly as intelligent and capable as any other resident physician in the same year. She hates unnecessary yelling because it's loud and annoying, not because she's completely incapable of handling conflict. She usually keeps her stimming subtle enough to hide but sometimes she can't. She loves having a furry critter to pet. She accommodates an autistic patient by lowering the lights and closing the doors because she understands the sensory nightmare of an active medical setting. She speaks in a straightforward and honest way but she isn't an overtly rude inconsiderate asshole. She misses some jokes and takes things too literally on occasion but she does have a sense of humor and she is funny. She speaks up against misinformation and parent panic about autism and other developmental disabilities. She has emotions. She looks at a video of a lava lamp on her phone to chill. Doctor Mel King you have my entire heart

I was just thinking about the Riordanverse and, man, Percy Jackson is such a versatile character

Like, he's the main character of the first saga and he's funny and smarter than he lets on and VERY vocal about his gruffs with the system and his willingness to change it, and his fatal flaw is loyalty which makes him simultaneously very kind and very rightfully angry all the time

Then you go to The Lost Hero where he is (narratively speaking) Annabeth's dead wife™, haunting the narrative and leaving a bleeding hole in his absence

Then he gets reintroduced again but, for the first time ever, he has to share the spotlight and, guess what? He's amazing from that perspective too! He works so well as a friend and a brother-in-arms and a lover and a victim and an unwilling symbol of the pinacle of accomplishment in this world and a humble guy who refuses power at every turn to remain loyal to his humble origins and you just wanna see him interact with everyone and see what people he brings up and which he brings down. A perspective on his character that is, in my opinion, only more highlighted by his role on the Greek-Egypt crossover books where he bounces off the Kane siblings and Annabeth amazingly once again.

AND THEN you get him as a background character in Magnus Chase. Funny story: I read the Nordic saga before the Greek one. As a reader without knowledge of Percy Jackson, he was a funny and intriguing character. As a rereader after getting my hands on Percy Jackson, he is a great cameo that stays in-character throughout.

AND THEN on The Trials of Apollo you get him AGAIN on a NEW perspective as a supporting character and I'm still halfway through this saga but the stretch I've read on him is once again fresh and exasperated while carrying the looming presence of Who He Has Been and Who He Can Be if the narrative calls him

Like, I've seriously never seen a character that has played so many different roles and has played them all so well across his entire franchise. Few characters do it like Percy Jackson, staying so interesting in so many ways

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?
