[ MCU | fanfic rants ] why are there so many fics where Peter has to be rescued by Tony?? Guys, he is Spider-Man he can handle himself.
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
He would not stay kidnapped for long. Give my boy a little credit
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
As much as I adore iron dad stuff I’m just
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
But he has super strength???
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
And in civil war he just stops Bucky’s punch with no effort
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
So like, saying it’s vibranium isn’t even a good excuse
ᴍᴇᴅʙᴀʏ🩻
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
fanfics don't do his intelligence justice and it makes me sad :c
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
Peter deserves better
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
yes, he can make some very, very bad decisions but I maintain that he learns from those mistakes
HOCKEY SEASON
He does, and yes, Iron Dad stuff is awesome but like, Peter got himself together after Stark took his suit during Homecoming.
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
exactly
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
plus FFH
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
he handled it
HOCKEY SEASON
Yep
HOCKEY SEASON
He screwed up, but he handled it
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
he got hit by a whole goddamn train and still continues on

There's definitely a subset of fandom that's there for the hurt/comfort "[Character] is Baby 8D" that's so grating, it's unbearable
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
Yup.
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I also find it really weird anytime Peter calls Tony ‘Dad’ un ironically
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I read a fic once where he whined it at him to get his way in monopoly
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
That I’m fine with.
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
‘But daaaaaaaad’ just get out of paying ridiculously high rent on park place

bc yaoi by another name
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
n-no
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I cannot.
Gävlebocken
and/or yaoi tropes
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
b-but
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
Peter is 14 when he meets Tony.
Gävlebocken
same reason the even slightly skinnier dude turns into a weeping mess in fics even when they're super-competent in canon
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
that's not okay
Gävlebocken
(looking at you Old Guard fandom, looking at you hard)
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
Ugh.
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
why do people
Gävlebocken
basically it's the fic authors that learned people stopped reading heavy seme/uke yaoi in general if it was tagged as such and just kept writing the same way under different category tagging
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I'm here for the found family father-son bonding stuff but not when it basically throws out every thing Peter has ever accomplished
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I also find it weird when Tony is apparently on Peter's list of emergency contacts?
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I mean, I could see Happy being on there
Gävlebocken
yeah that'd make more sense to me, too
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
but it's probably May and like... maybe Ned's mom?
Gävlebocken
even Pepper would make more sense than Tony
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
not for school
Gävlebocken
yeah, def just May, then
Gävlebocken
maybe Ned's mom, depends
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
Happy, maybe. Especially after Before/After FFH
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
Well, if I recall you have to have at least two contacts in school?
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
just in case
Gävlebocken
homeschooled, I wouldn't know
homeschooled, I wouldn't know
HOCKEY SEASON
My son doesn't. He just had me for years
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
maybe it varies by state/district
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
but I thought you had to have at least two incase they couldn't reach the primary
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I had like eight emergency contacts because I have a huge family
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
I remember once that my uncle had to get me because the office couldn't reach my parents or grandparents but I digress
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
but yeah, doesn't make sense to have Tony be an Emergency Contact
ᴍᴇᴅʙᴀʏ🩻
Yeah the refusal to admit that May is still his guardian just...
ᴍᴇᴅʙᴀʏ🩻
Fandom has a really nasty habit of erasing women
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
there are also so, so many where May dies.
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
guys, guys. Hasn't Peter lost enough people in his life????
ᴍᴇᴅʙᴀʏ🩻
I'm here for Happy being an emergency contact by accident though, that's cute af
∂єтє¢тινє вяαт
it is! I also really hope we get more Happy and Peter interactions in the future
