Tony's biggest fear was turning out like his father. Scratch that. Tony thought he was his father. He promised himself he'd never be a dad, the generational trauma ends with him.

That's until he met Peter Parker. Tony tried not to get attached, he tried to stay away, but Peter wormed his way into Tony's heart.

Tony had Peter over on weekends, they worked together, they had movie nights, it was all good. Too good.

Tony loved Peter, but he couldn't help feeling like the time they spend together was almost like a ticking bomb. Something bad was going to happen. Something terrible.

He shoved that voice to the back of his mind. Nothing is going to happen. Peter's safe, he's made sure of it. Peter has more protocols in his suit than Tony has money. "Peter's safe." he'd tell himself, but he'd wake up breathless in cold sweat after dreaming about losing him.

"Peter's safe" but is he? Who's that "Thanos" Bruce is talking about?

"Peter's safe" aliens from New York...they're back. Peter isn't safe. Peter is here.

"Peter's safe" he sent him home, there's no way they're going get him now. Except he didn't. Peter's in space.

"Is peter safe?" Tony couldn't stop thinking.

"Why's everyone turning into dust- Peter? God no. You're safe. You're-"

"You're alright."

"I got you. You're okay. You're not going anywhere, kiddo. Peter?"

Peter isn't safe. Peter's dead. He knew something was wrong. He should've trusted his instincts. He should've stayed away, maybe it wouldn't have hurt as bad then.

Having short hair really is just

I get up. I walk into the bathroom. I glance in the mirror. My hair is posed in a brand new, never-before-seen array that defies the laws of physics.

yall gotta stop with the mcu spiderman mentor bullshit. the only person to actually fullfill that role for peter was tony. dr strange helped him out once and frank is an annoying coworker. not every team up is suddenly a mentorship because peter is younger

op disabled reblogs but i really wanted this post on my blog again

[lily-ivanov]

Remember when Peter dying in Tony's arms said "I'm sorry"? So we all know that it was because of the talk with Mr. Stark in the homecoming, when he said " And if you died.. i'd feel like that's on me" So to make it even more devastating i'll tell you that probably Tony felt even more guilty after that, because he made a literal child (his child) apologize for his death..

when a nuke is sent for nyc, fury doesn’t comm the avengers. he singled out tony stark; told him, not the team. fury knew tony would immediately have a solution, one that he would execute without asking. that’s how tony worked. and fury knew that.

and fury was right, because what did tony do when he got the call? he asked fury how long they had. and then he Got To Fucking Work.

Peter, after a mission: Hey dad, I’m tired! Tony, switching to dad!mode: Hey tired, I’m- wait. Did you just call me dad?

[ajdoesprompts]

Tony Stark was less than pleased to find out Peter Parker was average.

Painfully average, really. He had a perfect 50% in his last 8 tests. He was… well, he was almost too average.

So, Tony looked into it. Discovered that on one of his tests, the kid answered every other question correct. In another, he answered the first half correct and the second half wrong. It didn’t make any sense - the kid was answering questions in the first half and then unable to answer basically the same questions in the second half.

Tony thought he had him, when he saw a pattern. He thought he’d caught him in the act, purposefully controlling his grade.

But his pattern changed and suddenly the kid got a 48%, the answers seemingly all over the place. He was annoyed, frustrated, and confused when he asked FRIDAY to check for any sign of a pattern.

He didn’t expect her to come back saying the kid had managed to answer his test by writing in morse code.

“Well, what does it say?”

And FRIDAY hesitated. Honest to god, hesitated, before finally saying, “It reads ‘leave me alone you stalker bitch’.”

And Tony…

Well, Tony is thrilled.

The new Spiderman movie will be like :

Bruce (while talking with his new student, Peter, for the ''first'' time) : And you are?

Peter : Suicidal.

Bruce :

Peter :

Bruce :

Peter : Oh, you meant my name. Eum- I'm Peter

if you vote me for president i vow to make everything the ocean again. no more land only ocean. this will solve all of our problems and replace them with new, far more interesting problems

[hurtspideyparker]

my favourite antagonist is of course the one who hurts my favourite character

the man who gained his trust, his love, his admiration. someone he cared for

the person who filled the void after his father figure died

a man who manipulated someone in a vulnerable position, used him for his own selfish endeavours. who stole a tool and turned it into a weapon

who then tries to kill the golden goose. who admits he's better, and good, and that's why he has to die

yeah. that's my favourite villain

[endertheloosegoose]

YOU GET IT

Like do I hate them both with all I have? Yes. But are they my favorite villains? Also yes.

[hurtspideyparker]

villains and antagonists are so underappreciated in media. they drive the protagonist, instigate character development, force them to make and do tough things that show us just how special they are.

a lackluster antagonist isn't going to drive the hero to reach new levels, to show these complex sides of themself and feel deeply (and cause us to feel deeply with them). the weight and pressure the antagonist puts on the story will make it or break it. we should be nearly as invested in the villain's actions and motives as we are the heroes.

and the different types of antagonists create different and fascinating dynamics with the protagonist and moral of the story.

— an antagonist who hurts because they are hurt: Loki. this is important for a hero like Thor because he's never had to face the fact that he isn't perfect and doing what he thinks is right isn't necessarily the right answer. he learns to look outside of himself because he was too arrogant to realize the ramifications of his and other heroes actions. if it was just another power hungry villain Thor would defeat them with his might and never learn to empathize.

— an antagonist who believes they're helping/doing what's right: Thanos. This being the Avengers first proper loss breaks the status quo of good vs. evil. MCU Thanos genuinely believes he's making the world better just like the Avengers, so good intention isn't enough to overcome the villain's power like in other stories. The fact that many people agreed with Thanos makes the protagonists look inwards and feel the weight of their actions. Their decisions in Civil War felt right and important at the time to each hero, but that break up meant they weren't together to fight Thanos. It's implied that if CW never happened they would have defeated Thanos, but they didn't, and instead lost those they care about permanently.

— an antagonist who wants power: Iron Man villains. Killian, Hammer, Stane. This pairs with Tony well because he grew up in an environment where power, intelligence, and wealth were always the priority. Even above himself. He fulfilled the Stark legacy and only when faced with a mirror of what this business and greed does to the world, what he's inadvertently done to others, does he step up to reverse the dark path he's been walking. Even though he regrets his past he's constantly learning how those actions did, do, and will hurt people. When you pair this type of antagonist up with someone like Captain America, such as Red Skull, the entire plot is different:

Captain America is an underdog story about how Steve's strong and ever-present moral compass makes him powerful. He's a role model and he teaches us to fight for the little guy no matter the odds or our own position. He was always a good person. Tony Stark is a redemption story. He didn't do the right thing, he was uninformed, he was selfish. His story is about change, guilt, and development. Steve wasn't a hero because of the serum, the serum just amplified the hero that was already there— but Tony wasn't doing the right thing, so it's important to know that you can change and make up for your wrongdoings any time in life. Regret is unavoidable but guilt is not permanent

The Obadiah Stane and Quentin Beck parallels extend beyond their own characters; Obadiah instigates the creation of Iron Man, and Quentin prevents Peter from stepping away from Spider-Man. Despite having opposing beginnings (rich, powerful, dangerous vs. poor, powerless, weak) both Peter and Tony are forced to be heroes due to their inability to allow others to be harmed because of them. Peter is able to learn the lessons Tony did far earlier in life, giving us hope of an even better generation of heroes. History repeats itself but so can the lessons and learning.

This is why I enjoy Peter and Tony's dynamic and connection in the MCU so much. the mentorship allows them to grow together/because of one another, and shows how you don't stop growing as a person despite your mature age or extensive experience, and you don't stop learning from someone just because they aren't around anymore.

Peter isn't Iron Man jr, and he has to realize that it isn't possible nor what's best. Their relationship was never to make Peter more like Tony, but to make him realize he isn't— and that's a good thing. They connect through similarities and improve each other through differences.

​"Ten seconds to air."

​The 'ON AIR' bulb flickered to life. Remus slid the master fader up, straightening. "Good midnight, London. You're listening to the Signal 77. I'm your host, Remus Lupin."

​"And I'm Sirius Black. Tonight, we’re reading your live submissions. The secrets keeping you awake at this godforsaken hour."

​Sirius scrolled his screen. "Let's see. Got one here from a user who hates their flatmate's cooking. Boring. Ah, here." He adopted an easy, conversational rhythm. "Anonymous says: I think I'm ruining my own life by staying friends with the person I'm in love with."

​Remus glanced at his own screen. "Classic. Proximity is a killer. Anonymous needs to rip the plaster off and get some space."

​"Anonymous says that's not an option," Sirius continued. "They work together. They share a flat. He says he has to sit there every single day and pretend it doesn't completely gut him."

​Remus frowned, scrolling to find the post. "Well, he needs to set boundaries. Or move out. It’s masochism at that point."

​"He says he can't leave," Sirius murmured. He tapped his tablet's power button and turned the dead, black screen to face Remus. "Because his friend is a stubborn disaster who forgets to sleep, gets entirely too stressed about his university exams, and buries himself in massive fantasy novels to avoid dealing with the real world. Someone has to make sure he actually eats." He paused, locking eyes with Remus. "And he just doesn't want to."

​Remus froze. Sirius was staring at him through the red-tinged dark, his usual arrogance completely gone.

​A cold spike of panic hit Remus. He slammed Sirius's mute button. "Sirius," he hissed, his radio voice fracturing. "What are you doing?"

​Sirius didn't reach for his mute button, letting his voice carry across the physical space of the small room instead. "He says he's sitting across from him right now, and he's terrified he's about to ruin the only good thing he has."

​Remus stared, desperately searching Sirius's face for the punchline. For the smirk. "Stop," he whispered. "If this is a bit, Sirius, if this is some stupid joke—stop. It's not funny."

​"It's not a joke," Sirius mumbled. "I've never been joking, Remus."

​Through the glass, the producer pointed frantically at the dead air monitor. Remus stared at the 'ON AIR' light, fully aware ten thousand people were listening to the silence.

​Slowly, his hand slipped off the mute button. He pulled his microphone an inch closer so his words were directly in Sirius's ears.

​"You didn't ruin it," Remus breathed. "You idiot, you didn't ruin anything."

the first time tony makes peter’s suit, he spends the entire night workshopping it.

he’s got only about a gazillion original failsafes, including the old ones programmed into the iron man suit. over 576 webshooter combinations, an integrated training protocol, a voice modifier for ‘enhanced interrogation’, scanners for criminal databases, heartbeat sensors, heat scan sensors, a drone, a tracker, a heater, a parachute. and that’s just barely scratching the surface.

tony stark thought of everything the kid could have possibly encountered, and made a function for it. he was sure that he hadn’t missed a thing.

they’re working together and tony asks him how his suit was holding up, if it needed any repairs or anything. he’s opening the door up. and peter starts rapid-firing ideas for the suit that never even crossed tony’s mind. which is crazy. because everything crosses tony’s mind.

the kid thinks outside of the box, he applies concepts to situations in unique ways, inventive ways. he’s scrappy, even in the most top-of-the-line tech. using the given materials to come up with a solution to a hyper-specific problem on the fly.

tony will make the next suit to match that quality— intuitive.

for now, he’s having a blast sharing the lab with a kid so smart. peter never runs out of things to say, and tony never runs out of things to improve.
