hello! do y'all remember this fic where Peter and Tony are out for walk when a steel I-beam (or some other large heavy block, like a large block of concrete or smth) falls down from a building on top of them, but Peter is able to react in time and catch the block before it can crush them. There's a bunch of pedestrians who see this though who are like ?? how did this teenager survive getting crushed by a huge block so Tony and Peter start acting dramatically that Peter's been injured (I think) and make a quick getaway before ppl can ask questions

Pretty sure this wasn't part of a longer fic, it was maybe a oneshot or part of a 5+1 or a collection of smol stories

Hi, this is a great pick, enjoy!

hi, thanks for all you do! I'm looking for a fic that was a one shot (im pretty sure it was under 2000 words) about peter coming out to tony as bi. i remember hes anxious in the elevator and then runs into the bathroom when he sees tony and they talk through the bathroom door. when he opens the door he makes a joke aboht "coming out" of the bathroom. thank you for all your help!

One reason I think it’s important that tumblr understands that AO3 emails spark dopamine and not serotonin other than the fact that I’m a neuroscientist who is very tired is because dopamine is part of the reward system.

I honestly think that emails from AO3 affect the reward system very similarly to gambling. When you get a sudden, random reward (AKA a comment on your fic), it feels great, and you want that again. But as the gambler writer, you have very little control over when the rewards come in or how many. There are games fandoms where you might have a higher chance of getting a response, or tropes, pairings, etc, but in the end, the reward is up to fickle fate (or possibly fantastic marketing on your part if you know how).

Randomly received rewards are incredibly addicting.

Similarly, not receiving a reward when you think you should get one feels very, very bad.

People who are more satisfied in their lives are less susceptible to the highs and lows of gambling and other addictive behaviors. If you are finding your relationship with you AO3 stats page or AO3 emails is unhealthy, it might be worth it to 1. turn off email notifications (so the randomness of the reward is removed) 2. Pick a time each week to check for comments (now it’s on a schedule) and 3. See if there are ways to improve your life elsewhere so that your mental health does not fluctuate with the whims of strangers sending you comments.

It’s not a moral failing to like attention. I have no judgment for people who get into a negative cycle with these things. This is for your mental health. Writing can be so rewarding for so many reasons, and I really just want to see other people find the joy in it.

This post has been going around again, and the question you should ask yourself is not, “am I addicted to emails/comments/AO3?” But “does posting fic put me in a bad mood? Do I get anxious waiting for emails? Is my relationship with AO3 causing me mental pain?”

The problem isn’t whether you are “addicted,” the problem is whether you are experiencing painful emotions in response to a hobby that should be fun. That’s what needs evaluation.

And when he became Spider-Man did he like, volunteer to get kidnapped like this? And stuck with drugs and drug needles and be tied to tables and beat to a pulp periodically and like he didn’t exactly choose to be Spider-Man so that sort of crumbles that argument into cookie crumbles and that’s the way the cookie crumbles and May says that a lot. And Ned says it because she says it. And maybe Ben said it before and that’s another one of those things that still hangs around because of him. Another one of those things he left behind.

He drags himself to the stairs he sees. If they’re really there.

when u think about it of course marvel had to ruin 2012!bruce banner. because they introduced this brilliant humble and empathetic man who was anti military with a wicked sense of biting sarcasm. who was so against the hulk being used in warfare that he’d rather live off the grid in calcutta wearing a dirty suit & with very little money to his name. who was hunted and lied to by thaddeus ross & the us government, and threatened to be put into a cage and experimented on, whose body was going to be used for destruction, to the point that he tried to kill himself. so he learned to control the hulk. to control his anger. who was distrustful, and rightly so. who realized his trust had been taken advantage of yet again when he saw the cage on the helicarrier, and still stayed to help. who rode thru nyc on a vespa to the battle, and revealed that his secret wasn’t that he was dangerous bc he had no control over the hulk, but bc he did. of course they had to ruin him. how could they let a character like that exist? how could they get a character like that to agree to be apart of a govt task force of soldiers & fighters, when his hands were made to help not harm?

say that!!!!!
