Their friendship began when they separately sought refuge from the rest of their group and allowed preconceived opinions to fade away. In that friendship Eric and Angela have found peace and the ability to be themselves. How will the group handle it when their friendship is discovered? And what will they do if it leads to more? (AU. Set after season six's Santa's Little Helpers.)

Situational by predominantly_normal

Vanellope isn't a princess. She's a foster kid with ADHD and a love for all things NASCAR. Ralph isn't a video game villain. He's the head of a construction company that evicts people to build shopping centers. There's no arcade, no medal, no "going Turbo". But Vanellope and Ralph find one another anyways. They always do.

The Only Cat Who Knows Where It’s At by Traincat

“Miles, y’know, it’s sweet of you to keeping checking in on me, it really is,” he said, “but it’s really not necessary –”

He stopped, halfway done rolling off the couch, his jaw hanging open. It wasn’t Miles framed in the window but a small child – a little boy of about seven or eight years old, with messy brown hair and a smattering of freckles across his nose and cheeks.

“Who’s Miles?” the kid had the audacity to ask.

Will I ever Make a Sound? By SaluWriter

Peter was mute.

He thought that would be it.

He thought the world would just have to deal with a soundless child wandering around the world without any parents. Yet accidents happen. And when that accident causes for him to lose his uncle and his hearing, he became frightened.

He couldn't make or hear any sounds. And that's what scared him.

He was Soundless...

He cried.

Kicking off bbweek84 with Day 1: Bearing the Bolt!

On the smaller side, but I’m still very proud of it.

reminded of this post again, and i am so saddened.

Its not about growing up. You are a child, holding hands with your mother at a festival. She tells you to stay put. You listen, because she is your mum. You stay. and stay. and stay. The sky gets dark. People are staring. You are taken to home after home. Some people dont like you. Some people dont treat you kind. Some arent bad, but arent great either. They all dont fit. You run. No adult believes in you. Its you against the world. It's always been you against them. You run. Youre taken to another family. Same as the rest. Most likely. Possibly. The kids are okay. Maybe the adults are decent. Youre still gonna run at the end of the week. Actually, next week. Maybe once the kids birthday passes. Maybe once the holidays kick in.

You are a child. You never really got to be one. You are just learning you can. be one, that is. That you have time. That they support you. Youve never had that before. Not for a long time. You are scared, to both have it and lose it.

Something is wrong. Your magic is unstable. You wake up as someone far older than you really are. You cant trust yourself. People are depending on you. You dont want to lose them, but know that if you dont have something they want, that theyll pack up and leave. You are a child, but not for long.

This is not about growing up.

12 years ago Tony decided he couldn't be a father. Years pass and Tony learns that he actually is a half decent dad. So when he finds his first son living in squalor in Queens, taking him home seems like the best option, but just as Tony has changed and grown up, Peter has too.

“I know I’ve told this story before, but my abusive ex refused to let me take birth control. I was on the pill until he found them in my purse. I went to the Student Health Center—they were completely unhelpful, choosing to lecture me about the importance of safe sex (recommending condoms) instead of actually listening to my problem. Then I went to Planned Parenthood. The Nurse Practitioner took one look at my fading bruises and stopped the exam. She called in the doctor. The doctor came in and simply asked me: “Are you ready to leave him?” When I denied that I was being abused, she didn’t argue with me. She just asked me what I needed. I said I need a birth control method that my boyfriend couldn’t detect. She recommended a few options and we decided on Depo. When I told her that my boyfriend read my emails and listened to my phone messages and was known to follow me, she suggested to do the Depo injections at off hours when the clinic was normally closed. She made a note in my chart and instructed the front desk never to leave messages for me—instead, she programmed her personal cell phone number into my phone under the name “Nora”. She told me she would call me to schedule my appointments; she wouldn’t leave a message, but I should call her back when I was able to. And that was it. No judgment. No lecture. She walked me to the door and told me to call her day or night if I needed anything. That she lived 5 blocks from campus and would come get me. That I wasn’t alone. That she just wanted me to be safe. I never called her to come to my rescue. But I have no doubt that she would have come if I had called. She kept me on Depo for a year, giving me those monthly injections in secret, helping me prevent a desperately unwanted pregnancy. I cannot thank Planned Parenthood enough for the work they do.”

I know I’ve reblogged this before, but it bears re-reblogging (?).  This is how you respond to abuse, this is how you give people control over their bodies/uteruses, this is how you act as a generally non-judgmental and compassionate person.  I love this story so fucking much.

(via coffeewithants)

I fully agree with this post, I’d like to see less BatFam take over and more exploration of Billy’s own relationships in fawcett

i finished reading Power of Shazam! and i have some thoughts that i wanted to share. buckle up

firstly, i am so tired of "billy joins the batfam" stories, especially because 99% of the time the bats are reduced to fanon tropes with personalities that they don't actually have in canon. not to mention, mary is never included in these stories. it would be one thing if this was New 52 billy, who is only mary's foster brother, but the majority of what ive seen takes inspiration from the idea of billy being a homeless kid in fawcett

so why are we throwing billy in with people who live halfway across the country, when the bromfields are right there?

if you're going to write a fanfic where billy (and, hopefully, mary) joins another established superhero family, why not have him be taken in by superman? though they argue a lot in canon, their morals, abilities, and worldview are much more similar. they admire each other!

additionally, a lot of the time other members of the marvel family are completely ignored. freddy freeman only ever appears to be a romantic interest for billy or mary, tawky tawny shows up in some fics for a moment or so, but dudley and ibis the invincible are nowhere to be found. even black adam, doctor sivana, and mr. mind are underutilized!

Power of Shazam! is such a heartfelt story, when you look at the bigger picture. it's about a boy who's had to look out for himself for so long learning to trust family again. it's about him sharing the burdens of the responsibilities he has, and also sharing the guilt. billy feels so much guilt all the time, and it's absolutely gut-wrenching at points. there's an issue where fairfield, the twins' home town, is nuked to get back at them. and billy just has a breakdown

i have my criticisms on how New 52 handles billy as a character, but him having anger at the world is not out of character. billy is a very, very angry boy— why wouldn't he be? his entire life was taken away from him, his trust was betrayed again and again, the people around him think him to be incompetent

but he still finds joy in life. he's silly, he's funny, he always sees the bright side to things. and this run does a phenomenal job of demonstrating just how complex he really is

there's also the problem of mary and freddy acting subservient to billy. throughout this series, mary is explicitly referred to as captain marvel several times. she's captain marvel as much as billy is. and much of freddy's arc within this series revolves around him outgrowing the "junior" tagline and becoming captain marvel 3. they're not just a team, they're a family

they protect and look out for each other. this is what i want to see more of! i have fun with fics or headcanons where billy gets looked after by another hero, but if that's the only way you interact with his media, it's a disservice to his character and the characters of his family

read Power of Shazam! look into these characters. and please stop reducing these complex and dynamic characters to tropes

I’ve been getting in Captain Marvel Comics and I’d like to read some where his identity is a secret in the storylines.

Does anyone have recommendations?

horrific article from the bbc broke last about israel detaining healthcare workers, stripping them naked, and beating them for days on end. we already knew israel was doing this to palestinian detainees, but to be deliberately targeting medical personnel--doctors and nurses and medical assistants on the ground trying to heal wounded palestinians--and then literally torturing them are on levels of cruelty i can't even begin to compute.

a humanitarian law expert in this article calls the footage coming out of this "concerning." i call it the terms racists love to throw baselessly at arabs: barbaric and inhumane.

thinking about how the world would be better if more people understood the differences between 'the author failed to tell the story they wanted to tell' and 'the author told the story they wanted to tell, but they told it badly' and 'the author told the story they wanted to, and they told it well, but it wasn't the story I wanted to read'

From the Mixed-Up Files of Ms. Virginia “Pepper” Potts by

OffToNewPastures

“You know. Spider-Man.” Tony takes a nonchalant bite of his pasta.

“Who?” Pepper repeats.

“It’ll come to you, honey.”

Suddenly, it does. “The creepy sticky one!” Pepper exclaims, with a snap of her finger. “How does he do that, anyways?”

“Oh, wait till I relay that little gem, he’ll die of embarrassment,” Tony guffaws.

Pepper frowns. “Why? He’s probably heard worse. If you’re going to crawl around in spandex you’ve got to have a thicker skin than that.”

“He’s young,” Tony says airily, waving his hand. “He’ll grow into it.”

That’s nice, Pepper thinks. Mentoring a young superhero seems pretty harmless, out of all the things Tony could be using to distract himself right now.

Before she can process what’s happening, Pepper becomes the newest member of the Spider-Man fan club.

The Blurry Line Between Friendship and Family by

AmazingViola

It was like stepping into another world. The small courtyard shimmered under the steadily falling snow, the dark color of the tree trunks standing out sharply against the white snow. Even the city was calm, the snow shrouding it like a blanket, dampening its usual bustling energy to an eerie silence.

The two walked out of the elevator together, and as Peter watched Natsuko’s expression of wonder as she turned in a circle, her arms thrown out, the snowflakes swirling around her, he was filled by a single thought: this is home.

~

Or how Peter discovers that sometimes the best friends are found in the least expected places.

Practice Makes Perfect

by aceschwarz222

Peter goes to ULTA in search of the perfect eyeshadow palette for Aunt May. When he's asked to be the guinea pig for a new makeup artist-in-training, he's surprised to find that he's kind of into the makeup thing.

In other words: Peter figures out what makes him look fierce, and the people around him love him unconditionally.

Figured it out, yet? By

nokurde

Could there be something worse than losing every single memory of someone you love and treasure?

Yes, Peter Parker could argue. Being the person that was forgotten.

Iron Man gets injured in a fight, which leaves him with a (temporary?) amnesia, erasing the last few years of his life. Now he’s left with an annoying kid for a babysitter.

(It is temporary, right?)

As Tony Stark struggles with his new reality, Peter tries to keep the company running, look out for his mentor without getting himself kicked out of the Tower, and not break down in the process.

(Right?)
