This ^^ is exactly right. Peters tattoos are about control,’something that is his to see however he wants to. So yes, it starts out as sort of a harmful coping mechanism but turns into something beautiful BUT it didn’t require him changing his way of coping it just required him changing his perception of how he was coping.
Like Wade wasn’t going to tell him to stop getting inked, but he was going to tell him to stop seeing it as punishment and see it as more of a reward
Healing from (insert literally anything here) starts with a shift in perception of ourselves and grows from there and that’s the point I was trying to make when it came to Peter healing. It wasn’t fast and it wasn’t easy but it started with switching from “I’m bad for this reason” to “I’m good for this reason”
Okay first of all, this got like ridiculously long, I don’t know what happened to my short story. Second, the plot got away from me and it ended up quite a bit more feelsy than I had intended.
Tony told Peter several different times that they could use the helicopter to get up to the Avengers Compound for the party that weekend. It was close to a three hour drive after all, four if they hit traffic leaving the city and probably five if it snowed and the roads were bad, which was almost guaranteed to happen since it was November and winter.
Peter had politely declined for both he and Wade, appreciating the offer but knowing that Wade hated to fly— something about wind advisories and a mission that had gone bad when he was on X force?— and realizing that the helicopter ride would mean sharing space with most of the rest of the team, a car ride just sounded like more fun.
Besides, he and Wade had things to talk about, things that needed to be said before they spent a night upstate together, and those things didn’t really need to be said at the Official Grand Re-Opening Party for the new Avengers place.
Not that they were spending the night together, per se. Tony had apparently designated rooms for all the Avengers and that included part time Avengers like he and Wade, probably DareDevil and the always frightening Ms Jessica Jones, and Peter was pretty sure he had seen Charles Xavier and someone named Logan on the list too.
So no, he and Wade weren’t technically spending the night together, and it wasn’t like they didn’t hang out all the time minus masks and suits anyway? But it would be the first time they’d seen each other since The Incident and Peter really didn’t want their first conversation since The Incident to be in a helicopter full of Avengers.
And road trips were good for long talks right? They could stare at the scenery while talking about important things? Even if the weather was bad and it started snowing– which it definitely would because the sky was already cloudy and gloomy and it was fucking freezing outside– it would be fine. Long talks were infinitely easier when there didn’t have to be extended eye contact, right?
Right.
So. They could talk about The Incident and move past the awkward moment and get right back to just hanging out and sassing each other and making fun of the Avengers.
This has happened to me before when I was in college at a frat party. This girl comes squeezing herself in between me and my friend and throws her arms around me. “Amanda, I am so glad you decided to come!” I was so confused and just figured she was drunk and mistaked me for someone else, until I saw the panic on her face. She leaned close and whispered that a guy was following her, was certain that he had put something in her drink and if I would please play along. I looked behind her and sure enough, some creep was watching her like a hawk. We invited her to hang out with us the rest of the night and even waited until her ride showed up just to make sure she was safe. Always look out for each other!
If you ever feel scared like this just come up to me like we have been friends since kindergarten, call me any name u can come up with ill play along.

Stay together, stay safe
Perfect advice. I’m reblogging this as a guy, because first of all, if you”re a guy : DON’T DO THAT. Don’t be that creep.
And if you’re a guy and you notice some creep is following or stalking a girl, and that she’s obviously uncomfortable or panicked, go ahead and say hi, long time no see, pretend to be her cousin, and tell her discretly you noticed there was a shady guy. Ask her if something’s wrong, if she feels unsafe, if she wants your help (very important – she may not trust you enough, no one could blame her, don’t take it personally). (and don’t you dare take advantage of the help you offered for a flirt opportunity, that would make you no better than the creep)
We can all stop “witnessing and do nothing”, and set an example.
Alternative option for a guy: if you feel safe doing so, go up to the creeper who’s following her and be like “hey WHAT’S UP bud do you like SPORTS? My favourite team is the redsox what’s YOURS my man? What you DRINKING dude that looks GOOD.” and be friendly and just loud enough to blow his cover. Draw attention to him and see what he does. He won’t feel as safe creeping if he knows people are looking at him, and maybe he’ll leave. It also means the woman won’t have to worry that you are *another* creeper she has to be wary of, and you may distract the bad dude enough to give her a chance to lose him.
Reblogging for that last comment.
I have utilized this in clubs so much. Esp gay clubs because the one straight guy there ALWAYS manages to find me. I go up to the butchest lesbians there and ask them for help and also plus side: now I’m guaranteed a crowd of super protective butch lesbians the whole night. I love my fellow queer girls ❤️
okay but how about an “i’m in my twenties and sick of still being a virgin, so one night when i’m drunk i think it’s a good idea to dm my old celebrity crush who is no longer really that famous anyway and ask them to take my virginity – wait why did they just dm me back?? giving me their number?? i don’t even remember doing this” au
truly every day i think about how yolanda foster from housewives of beverly hills thought she had lyme disease for years and centered her life around getting so many procedures and experiments done and and it was actually just her leaking boob implants
I really do hate to turn this really funny lol post into something else but uh a lot of women end up getting really sick from breast implants like its really bad. Women usually arent told the risk of getting implants because BII (Breast Implant Illness) isnt recognized despite the facts for it. A lot of women just get really sick after their implants and doctors can never seem to figure out whats wrong but it turns out its the implants doing something bad. This is the short of it but a youtuber made a really good and through video on it.
Damn
I am down to 67 drafts and 18 asks. I feel mostly accomplished. Please keep in mind that most everything is being queued except for a few random ones I post [usually from different people so they know I am still doing drafts for them lol]. Time to get ready for work, and I will be iffy on and off until tonight when I get home and do stuff for a little bit.
