nothing on this god's green earth can convince me that peter parker doesn't have an ao3 account where he is elbows deep in a 'rise of skywalker' fix-it fic. like, fully invested in it, been writing it pre-spider bite with ned, who is just as enthusiastic about it. but the thing is, it's really hard to do updates when you are literally spider-man.

every three months he'll post and in the author's note there's some shit like "sorry this took a while, i got shot seven times :/" or "i know it's been a minute, i literally got hit by a bus and then stabbed in the leg, but i'm all good!" or sometimes ned would log in and post with a note "hey i'm a friend posting on the author's behalf, they're healing from severe hypothermia but promised an update, so here it is!"

and the fic just gets increasingly more popular for the author notes alone. a good handful of the comments are something along the lines of "i'm not even in the star wars fandom, i'm just here to see if the author is good" or "every update i cheer for another day the author gets to live at this point"

and any reader who is a native new yorker kind of pieces together that holy shit the author might be spider-man because the timeline adds up, and they just fully embrace it. spider-man will stop a robbery and the guy behind the counter will ask when the next chapter will be up. spider-man returns a stolen backpack to a girl and she'll tell him that he "really got poe's voice down so well, it's really impressive."

ned thinks it is hilarious. mj finds out about the fic from twitter, to peter's absolute horror, and changes peter's contact name to "friendly neighborhood ao3 author". but the worst thing to happen is after an avengers battle where peter took a pretty big hit and ends up in med-bay. and during a press conference, when someone asks how spider-man is healing, tony just drops "spidey won't be down for too long. the star wars fic will be updated within the week, probably."

ao3 goes down for two days.

Jean staying in Peter's mind and breathing for him until he was strong enough to breathe on his own actually genuinely has me unwell. oh my GOD.

MY TWO PERSONALITIES SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER

[ahaha-i-do-that]

My acespec heart is so full rn

[tears-of-acid-and-sluts]

Hey so Peter witnessing how much the world loves him after being hated and betrayed in the past, is so important to me.

[avengerrs]

thinking about frank constantly calling peter “kid” and allowing peter into his home despite being someone who does things on his own. thinking about frank feeling protective enough over peter to go and risk his life to have his back. thinking about the horror on frank’s face when he realized he shot peter. peter who is someone’s son. peter who has saved his ass. peter who was brave enough to jump in front of that bullet. peter who is around the age of his kids if they were still alive. thinking about the fact that frank was reliving his worst day through that moment, where he once again saw himself as the villain.

[humanity-as-a-whole]

In brand new day in the hospital scene jean literally keeping peter alive by making sure he's heart is beating, blood is flowing, he's breathing, is such a cool thing cuz it really showcases how she's grown as a mutant cuz she's absolutely got long range telekinesis and it's so precise that she can keep a entire body forcibly alive, and presumably did so while escaping the facility, and also this is just pure fucking jean grey no phoenix force, no amped up shit this is just jean grey being able to remotely pilot a entire human body without even forcing control over the mind, and just using his body with her new found telekinesis because his mind would have shut down already at the time, godsakes she's so cool

[cogentranting]

When I was hesitant about Frank Castle being in Brand New Day, what I failed to account for is that Frank is the perfect person to hear "I'm staying away from my loved ones to protect them" and respond with "that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Go talk to them."

The fact that they put yelena in a movie with two sisters one blonde and one redhead and one of them is dead and the fact they made yelena the one to tell peter that jean has a sister…brutal

[edgeofgreatness]

the scene when peter leaves the hospital made me tear up because its such a stark contrast to the way people acted towards spiderman/peter in no way home and yet he can‘t fully bask in the praise and adoration so he’s left to stand there in disbelief because he knows that this is all conditional to his continued anonymity

[starlightshadowsworld]

And yes found family Jean Grey and Peter Parker is never going to leave my mind they are siblings now.

What do you mean he let her into his mind so the memory of his aunt could comfort her when he couldn’t and than took a bullet for a girl he knew was hurting as much as he was?

What do you mean she stayed by his side using her powers to keep him alive in the room where her sister was killed despite the danger because she couldn’t bare to lose him too?

Siblings.

ned creating the spider-man tracking board even though so many people theorised that it was mj.

ned remembering the handshake with peter, causing something to click for him about who peter was.

point is that ned and peter are the best friends to ever best friend, and that platonic loves come in for the win in bnd!!!!!!!!

[smilesbag]

if you zoom in on ned then spider-man brand new day is literally like what if you felt your heart reaching out for another person so fondly and fiercely that you build an app that connects millions of people just so you can know where he's been and you want to find out who he is behind his many masks just so you can say thank you (and be safe and i love you) and you have a secret handshake in the well of your memory and a lego figurine on your desk and there's another aspect of those memories that your mind can't really hold onto but you keep trying to build a life around those empty spaces and then one day you're eating a sandwich and a man tells you his name and oh.... how could you ever have forgotten your best friend?

i think when Frank says ‘you look exactly how I thought you would. nice kid.’ It’s because he’s been picturing his own son who would’ve been close to peter’s age by then, and Frank would’ve been so proud to have a son like him papa frank you are real to me
