and it completely baffles Bruce bc ??? how’re you oversharing and simultaneously saying nothing at all
And the problem now is he gets war flashbacks from the stress inducing clusterfuck problems Peter offhandedly tells him about, so every so often he’ll cave and ask Dick about him when he’s not around (“that Peter…did he ever get that denied exam extension sorted?”)
But when he finally does see him it’s like the problem never mattered (“oh - what? I said that? Right no, I just emailed the tutor. But you know, that TA who slept with him said...”) until he mentions something crazy again and the cycle continues.
Basically - organised Bruce meeting Peter “there’s a lot of moving parts so I choose to keep track of none of them” Parker
By this scene I was exhausted like let them GO
WICKED (2024) | dir Jon M. Chu
As told through the stages of Damian’s life:
Toddler Damian who has to sit between Peter’s legs when he’s being babysat while Peter plays on his psp console so he doesn’t Wonder Off.
Toddler Damian who sees it as his god given right to bounce on Peter’s well made bed while he’s at school or work and eat his stashed lollies then lie that he never (the wrappers are peaking out of his fists)
Kid Damian who says hes not a baby and not tired when Peter asks only to knock out on the couch 20 minutes later
Kid Damian who quotes Peter’s opinions like scripture nonchalantly to his friends in middle school to seem cooler.
Kid Damian who makes unhinged animations on his DS Lite for mandatory viewing when his siblings get home
Kid Damian who doesn’t like lying but chooses to remain tactfully silent whenever Bruce notices Peter’s snuck out
(He leaves the window closest to the tree outside open so Peter can sneak in again)
Teenage Damian who moved into Peter’s bigger room in high school but kept some of the things he couldn’t take to college as older sibling lore
Teenage Damian who runs down the stairs to see a home-for-the-holidays Peter setting his bags down at the door and breaks into a smile rolls his eyes
Teenage Damian who ducks out of Peter’s head ruffles with an annoyed groan and weak protests to knock it off
Teenage Damian who’s kept the fliers to every student photography exhibition with Peter’s work in it that he’s ever been too
Teenage Damian who finds himself on a three way call with Jason and Peter after crashing his car for the first time because he snuck out earlier and he’s in sooooo much trouble now
They make a game plan while Jason spends the entire call ribbing him (he’s on repair duty)
Teenage Damian who ducks his head in weak embarrassment walking across the graduation stage as the familiar whoops from the crowd overshadow the announcement of his name to receive his high school diploma

This is early 2000s older sibling coded if anyone’s lived through that…experience 😭
If you’ve come this far, I’m writing a fanfic where Damian and Peter have a similar dynamic! Check it out if you like :)
I remember starting my Young Justice x Peter Parker in Gotham fic thinking I can definitely finish this in a few months…guess who celebrated it’s one yr anniversary the other day 🤩
Trying to explain scenes from my fic to anyone but words escape me and the characters do whatever they want and I need to literally project the visuals into your mind complete with a soundtrack of whatever song I was cooking it up to so I end up saying um and ah alot
but pleek you get it right? RIGHT-
Those Dadwing fics where Peter's, his son:
Peter: I'm 17, that's like practically an adult, and I've been a vigilante since I was like 14. I can take care of myself.
What Richard sees when looking at Peter:
I know for a FACT he wouldn’t have ended up as a glorified wizard cop if they were together but alas
The potential of Luna and Harry is beyond just Luna being another female character that Harry was close with. She challenges him and makes him question the things he so easily accepted as reality, while still encouraging him to stay true to his own beliefs. He grounds her and gives her an anchor to hold on to without constricting her or trapping her in expectations.
She's weird and she ruins his street cred at Hogwarts but he doesn't care because she's one of the only people who wants him as Harry and not as Harry Potter. At a time where the only thing the Wizarding World is giving him is more grief, more loss, more pain, she reminds him of the magic he felt in his first year.
She is his ticket to staying in the Wizarding World. Not just as someone who has settled into the world and the role people expect of him, but as someone who wants to continue changing it. She is his period of Enlightenment. It's literally poetic. Shut up.
Roy & Peter & Jason (Todd) - prime example of that insane enabler + high functioning alcoholic + weed dealer trio you know peripherally on campus. Like the statistics they share between them 😭 I’d like to think they’re recovering but they’re always getting into some bullshit you’d have to really fuck around to find out LMAO
I think about their antics all the time 💔
Reyna & Jason (Grace) - I know she moved on to the hunters and I don’t necessarily ship them but I find them so tragic like…Jason is a closeted gay to me but even then I always felt like the love and respect he had for Reyna just sort of vanished at some point in HoO?? Like they never interacted meaningfully in the series even though we’re told they’re supposed to be so close and the erasure just feels sinister. The betrayal she felt was so justified and they kinda made her look petty for it!!
Like the love of her life and lowkey situationship just came back with a random gf. The tension - the misunderstandings on both parties - and if there was a reveal that he could never have loved either of them in the way they wanted??!! Crazy. Like yes Jason was her best friend and greatest love - but he wasted crucial years of her life letting her agonising over something that could’ve never been. But at the same time the duty she represented, the unwavering esteem she held him to & the expectations of those around them that crushed him meant Jason could never really tell her. I think they would’ve had a lot of complicated feelings I wish they unpacked 💔
Dick x Artemis - like every night. I’m awake and I just. Can’t sleep. They’re chemistry- haunts. It’s like the equivalent of the internalised homophobia tag to me. I’ve been conditioned to hate friends to lovers for so long and unlearning it has made me reevaluate how I feel about other ships I dismissed earlier. Like damn maybe I actually fucked with this on the low I just didn’t have the language to express that 💔
Harry x Luna - yeah so this is my canon. I never talk about them because they’re sacred to me in a way I can’t handle others criticising PLEASE DONT ASK ME ABOUT THEM (I won’t shut up)
Harry x Hermione - I know they fucked in that tent and I’m content with the fact that I know it haunts them more than me.
Jason (Grace) x Nico DiAngelo - what could’ve happened if Rick actually liked Jason 💔
Jason (Todd) x Musa - literally nobody cares but I wish someone would write about them omgod
Leo Valdez x Calypso - mostly in a “what the HELL was that about” sort of way
like Leo my love please stand up 😭 calypso is an avid ihatmybf tag reposter and it’s nawwttt a joke to her please 😭 GET OUT OF THERE
And sometimes, parts of the cast just aren’t mic’d up - so I have no idea what they were saying in my maladaptive post production writing /editing
And then I have to be the annoying “um excuse me☝️” guy to remind everyone I need to HEAR WHAT THEY’RE SAYING TO WRITE IT HELLO
But now the chemistry’s lost 💔 it’s not as organic💔 so now I have to run one on one confessionals with my cast hoping someone will remember what the hell one character said / thought at that particular time with enough clarity for me to frankenstitch a semi decent conversation together( everything they say is to be taken with a grain of they-don’t-know- what-I-have- in-store-for-them salt )
Headcanon: Percy and Annabeth, as a result of being a loving, functional, equitable couple, have caused no less then 8 break ups among their acquaintances.
Annabeth's friend in New Rome watching Percy run two blocks to the drug store to get her Advil for her ankle, because she left it at home that day by mistake:
Friend: Gods, how did you train him that good?
Annabeth, barely paying attention to what she said: huh? Oh I didn't train him much, really. I taught him Ancient Greek, some myths and stuff. I mean, I guess I kind of trained him in battle strategy? But that was more of a "learning on your feet" kind of thing.
Friend: No I mean train him to do whatever you ask, or do things without even asking.
Annabeth: What?
Friend: Like if my back was hurting, I don't think my boyfriend would run two blocks to Walgreens for me.
Annabeth: That's fucked up.
Friend: You ... didn't teach him to do that?
Annabeth: To be nice to me? No, I didn't.
Friend: Ugh, you're so lucky.
Annabeth: I ... think I'm going to kill your boyfriend, actually.

Percy forgets to print his paper and somehow manages to leave his computer at home. Annabeth is still home when he calls, and she logs into his computer, prints it for him, and brings it to him before the deadline with his favorite smoothie (she had time to spare, and her best friend was stressed).
Percy: You're amazing, babe. Thank you so much.
Annabeth: Of course. See you later. Love you!
Percy: Love you too!
Some guy in his class: You're so lucky. My girlfriend would never.
Percy: Oh, why not?
Some guy: I don't know. She just doesn't do things like that for me. And the smoothie? Fuck, you're lucky.
Percy: I mean, I know I'm lucky, but ... I don't know, it didn't even occur to me that she wouldn't do me a favor.
Some guy: And she doesn't, like, call you stupid for forgetting?
Percy: No. I mean, she might call me seaweed brain, but that's different.
Some guy: She didn't call you seaweed brain just now.
Percy: You're right she didn't ... hold on [calls Annabeth]. Hey are you mad at me? Well, it's just that I did something silly and you didn't call me 'seaweed brain.' Well, sure anyone could do it, but I did it. No, it doesn't hurt my feelings. Yeah, I like it. Thanks, I love you. [hangs up]. You should break up with your girlfriend by the way.
New blog - want to write a lot this year, this is me trying <3 | Peter in Gotham fic
