Peter had never been the most feminine when he was little, and he admitted that he didn’t feel like a girl when he was ten to Aunt May and Uncle Ben.
Peter’s birth name was Hailey Parker because I’m tired of when people write trans people as just choosing the male/female version of their birthname. It happens sometimes, but it’s rare compared to how often people write it.
Aunt May and Uncle Ben accepted him immediately, but they didn’t know what to do. They had to do a lot of research and they would slip up a few times with his name and pronouns, but within a year they stopped, Peter had went to sessions with a gender therapist, got a new wardrobe, and got a haircut.
Peter came out to the rest of the world slowly. Middle school was a nightmare for him but it was a nightmare for him in the main verse anyway. He fully came out at the start of high school and started hormone blockers. By the time he was sixteen he started Testosterone.
Peter feels truly free as Spider-Man. There are still people out there who knew Peter before he had started transitioning, but no one knew that Spider-Man was transgender, instead he was just Spider-Man.
1. What are three Netflix shows that they’ve rated five stars?
1. Orange is the New Black because of course2. Stranger Things because he is unoriginal (but the show is really good)3. White Rabbit Project because it’s just a more nerdy/modern version of Mythbusters
10. Do they eat breakfast? What’s a typical breakfast look like for them?
He does, but it’s far from the healthiest. On the weekends/when he’s out of school he’ll eat a bowl of cereal or toaster waffles or eggs if he’s feeling not dead in the morning adventurous, but during the school week he wakes up too late to get anything more than a poptart packet and an apple or something. Sometimes they’re accompanied by an energy drink if he was out super late.
13. Have they ever been do Disney World/Land, or any other amusement park? What do they prefer to do at them: go on the rides, play the games, eat the food?
He hasn’t been to Disney World or Land, but he had been to Coney Island, Six Flags Great Escape, Adventureland and he went to Victorian Gardens when he was little. He doesn’t go to amusement parks very often. Before the spider bite he used to love the rides. But after he got his powers it’s not nearly as exciting as swinging through the city. But a very tall ride can still make him nervous. He likes the greasy food, but it’s way too overpriced. The upside of having his powers is that he’s way better at the games. He can do the rope ladder and know over cans whether it’s rigged or not. Don’t take him to an amusement park he will leave with at least ten oversized stuffed animals.
“And now we wait.” Uncle Ben said, leaning back slightly in the small boat. He balanced his fishing rod stared contently out into water. Peter looked back at his own fishing line that Uncle Ben had helped him set up and huffed. He couldn’t get comfortable and relax like his uncle, the oversized life jacket was preventing that, and fishing seemed kinda boring. He thought it would be more exciting, like Moby Dick or the documentaries where people were in the Amazon River. Not… this.
He stayed quiet for a few minutes before he leaned over the edge of the boat to get a better look at the water. He reached out to touch it, he wasn’t afraid of falling in (that’s what the life vest was for). The water was cold and he thought that the fishes must too be cold. “Did you know there’s oxygen in water? There’s a lot of gas in water, and fish breath that. They filter it through their gills and take the oxygen. It’s weird, but cool”
“Where’d you learn that?”
“From a book.”
Before he knew it his uncle was docking the boat and telling Peter to help him pack up. Peter did so curiously, his uncle had wanted to take him fishing and they hadn’t even caught anything. Why would they be leaving. “What’s going on?”
“We’re going to the library.”
And they did. They read all day together, Peter showing Uncle Ben all the cool books he loved and Uncle acting interested in them the entire time. Just because it made Peter happy.
💛- A memory that makes them feel angry
He had been so angry, so disgusted by what had happened to him, what he had let happen– no, Aunt May had told him not to think like that. She had told him it wasn’t his fault, that he couldn’t do anything, that he was brave for telling them. But that only made him feel even angrier that he had no control, that he had been helpless, and that he had waited so long to say anything. Yet at the same time he wished he had said nothing.
His anger would stick with him for a long time, and it would eventually morph into a fear and disgust as the events left everyone’s mind and they stopped telling him it was his fault. It never left him though, he still had nightmares about what Skip had done to him. And he always woke up angry and afraid.
💜- A memory about one of their loved ones, happy or sad
He didn’t remember much of his parents, just morphed sounds and spotty visuals. He vaguely remember the night before the left forever, it was normal. He often went to stay with his aunt and uncle suddenly because his parents had to go somewhere. He didn’t mind, they had fun board games. He remembered their tight hugs and frantic nature. Their kisses and their demands that he promised to be a good boy. He promised. He had been really tired, having been woken up in the middle of the night to grab his stuff and go.
The memory was cloudy, foggy, and barely there, but it was the last memory he ever had of his parents
💖- A memory that made them feel special
When he was little, at the Stark Expo for the very first time. He had begged his aunt and uncle to take him. He was really taking after his father when it came to science and technology. And since May and Ben weren’t really science whizzes themselves they resolved to take him to events like this. But then chaos broke out, and Peter with his Iron Man mask and the heart of a hero stood to face the bad guys. Then a repulsor blasted and Iron Man was right there. He couldn’t help but stare in awe as he flew away.
💝- A memory that made them feel loved
When Peter was little and he missed his parents, he often blamed himself for them leaving and their inevitable deaths. Eventhough May and Ben constantly told him that it wasn’t his fault. He felt like he was burden as he watched them start to struggle to pay bills. A kid was expensive. He was expensive. So one day when he was feeling particularly crap about himself May and Ben sat him down and had a long talk about how he was their kid. And they didn’t just take him in because they had to, but because they loved him and wanted to give him the best life he could have. That he was worth everything to them and that he should never feel guilty about it, because he was loved.
💘- A memory that gets their heart pounding
Good or bad? Because thinking about Skip makes his heart pound out of fear and anxiety. But thinking about his middle school crush and how they once held hands on the playground before she moved to Pennsylvania also makes his heart pound.
Okay so Peter has Parker Luck, which means everything goes to shit all the time. He’s gotten used to things going bad so it takes a lot to makes him have a bad day. That or very specific things. Seeing someone harm a child: bad day. Seeing any form of sexual assault: bad day. Seeing anyone get really hurt and/or die: super bad day. Failing to do something/save someone: bad day. Flash doesn’t really bother him that much anymore. Since he focuses so much time and energy on Spider-Man (and wishes he could do it full time) normal everyday things barely affect him anymore.
How does Peter deal with the times he starts to feel the weight of responsibility become heavy on his shoulders?
meme
Peter doesn’t really deal with it. Not well at least. I would say that it’s because he’s a teenager and has a difficult time processing emotions, but even as an adult he still doesn’t deal with it. He pretty much shuts down emotionally and socially. He doesn’t go out of his way to talk to people, he just focuses on what he could do or should do to make everything better. He still makes jokes, but his sense of humor becomes a little darker and he becomes just a bit more serious.His grades and school performance drops and he just goes on a downward spiral until something brings him back up. It might be a friend forcing him to distract himself with video games or something. It could be a random civilian thanking him.
8. What sort of toys did they play with as a child?
He always played with chemistry, building, and circuit sets. He also had Avengers action figures, but after that he didn’t have too many other toys. They kits and sets really kept him occupied.
18. What is their preferred weather? What would be a perfect weather day?
Peter likes days that are a littler on the colder side. Nothing too cold, a nice temperature where he wont overheat since he usually wears many layers. Not to mention a mask makes everything very hot. So a nice day with a slight overcast.
1. What are three Netflix shows that they’ve rated five stars?
answered here
2. Where do they prefer to read? On the sofa, in bed, at a table, on the porch, in a cafe?
Upside down. He loves attaching himself to the ceiling in the corner of his room (with his door obviously locked). Sometimes he’ll attach to book to the ceiling with a webline, but he’ll usually just hold onto it. It’s not helpful when he needs to do homework though.
3. Do they like to play games? What kind of games: video, card, board? What are some of their favorites?
He’s not too big into video games. He’ll play them, but he wont sit for hours to play them. He loved playing board games with his aunt and uncle when he as little, but now that his uncle is gone his aunt is always and work and there’s no time to play. He used to play those electronic snap circuit building games, but he really loved trivia based games.
4. What’s their food weakness? What food can they never turn down?
Cheap Chinese food. Admittedly it’d have to be something really nasty for Peter to turn it down, but he’s always craving cheap, greasy Chinese food.
5. Do they prefer movies or TV shows? Why?
He likes both for different reasons. He likes TV shows because there’s more to them, a season has way more hours to it than a movie. But he hates waiting a week for the new episode. But he likes movies because the budgets and acting are usually way better so it’s way higher quality.
