Funny thing to imagine is the public finding out Spider-Man is broke gradually.
Like there will be obvious pictures of Peter using the same suit that was torn for days but people just chalk it up as him not having time to get a new one as opposed to not having the resources to repair it. Or the times they see him scavenging in trash cans and getting audibly excited to see a piece of technology that he can use. Obviously he just likes collecting old tech and whatever he found must’ve been rare. Or the number of times he saves hot dog stand vendors and all he asks in return is a single hot dog. He’s just being modest obviously and doesn’t expect much for being a hero. It’s not like he can’t afford food at times.
The time where people started actually considering that Peter might actually be broke is when he was swinging extremely fast across the city before abruptly stopping and landing on the streets to pick up a single dollar while being visibly excited about it. He even chased the dollar for a few seconds since the wind picked it up before swinging off again.
Civilians: Guys, Spider-Man can’t be broke. He spends all day helping New York and doesn’t seem to have an off day. That means he has to be somewhat financially competent so he can live comfortably when he’s not out there being a hero, unless he’s putting New York over his own well being- oh my god, he might actually be broke!
Normally it’s Tony who goes on the invention binge and disappears into his lab for an unknown amount of hours before reemerging half delirious with giant black circles under his eyes
So he knows he kind of deserves this when it happens to Peter after they get together
And as he’s sitting upright in bed, scared half to death from waking up to Peter standing in front of him and staring at him, he silently vows to apologize to Rhodey, Happy and Pepper for doing this to them multiple times in the past
fucking insane to me that people can be mean to kids. this thing is four to five shoe boxes tall and youre shouting at it ?? ? what is your damage the mf just got here.
God I love Spideypool so much when Peter is also driven just a bit crazy
He's been a superhero since 15 and there is something broken within him that cannot be fixed, you can't go through hurt and heal like that and come out the other side unscathed. Maybe physically but never mentally. It just adds so much rich depth to his character, someone who goes out and almost dies time and time again for a city that hates him and people who will never meet him again. God it's so good, everyone talks about how Deadpool is the crazy one with his thought boxes and the pain of his body and the murder, but Peter *has* to be at least a little bit over the edge as well to keep doing what he does night after night. He only knows Spiderman, it's his entire teenage and adult life, he never had a chance to develop normally and whatever's left is an odd facsimile of genuine normalcy Do You Get It
Bucky didn't know when he got attached to Peter.
He doesn't know if it's when Peter smiled at him and ask if he prefers James or Bucky or if he had another preference.
He doesn't know if it was when Peter surprised him with a homemade dessert cause he found an account online that explores "vintage" recipes and thought Bucky would know best if it was right or not.
He doesn't know if it was when Sam made a crack at him and Peter ended up tripping Sam, giving him a grin before running off.
He doesn't know if it's when he caught Peter sneaking into his apartment to visit Alpine. And bringing her gifts. It's good to know that it wasn't Alpine stealing cat toys and bringing them home.
He doesn't know if it was when Peter asked if his arm was doing okay and if he needed any maintenance.
He doesn't know if it was when Peter invited him out to conney island.
He doesn't know if it was when Peter asked him to join him when he visited his parents graves, and ended up visiting his own parents and siblings. And Peter had brought beautiful stones he collected to put them on all the graves.
He doesn't know if it was when Peter was pestered him about history. Whether it was a historical event or something as silly as was this around then? Has it change etc?
He doesn't know if it was when he noticed someone else was paying attention to Peter.
He doesn't know what he is going to do.
26yo, Brazilian. Back to this site after years, still getting the hang of it and feeling old. (I multiship; It may not be of your liking.) She/Her 🩷💜🩵
