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.
Hi I've just been looking for this fic for a little while it came out a couple of weeks ago it was with Peter, Happy and Tony and Peter walkedinto a conversation between happy and Tony where happy was complaining about having to babysit him all the time I think it has a bit of irondad in it as well. If that's ok and any Irondad fanfics that are really long and everyone loves Peter or something and it's set after infitiny war and some fanfics about Ant-Man and Peter being bug Bros, thanks:)
I’m Not Your Babysitter by Mrs_N_Uzumaki
“I can’t take this anymore, Tony.” The end of the rope that was Happy’s already little patience has been reached. “I am an asset manager, not a babysitter.”
(A “missing scene” in Homecoming.)
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.
round earth flat earth blah blah blah u all have it wrong… the earth is heart shaped
Searching for the Lyon rewrite by withgirl
Regina is Hades and Emma is a sheltered princess whose parents defied the goddess of the underworld. On the princess's 21st birthday, Hades arrives to get what she was promised, the first child of Snow White and Prince Charming. After such a wait, however, the goddess believes she deserves much more than just another soul in her kingdom. [Emma x Regina pairing] *Slow-burn* Greek AU
What’s with the newfound fear of little girls wanting to be princesses?
If your five-year-old starts saying she wants to be a princess, tell her ‘princess’ is a political position and that she has a responsibility to look out for her kingdom. Say you’ll be her royal advisor and help her improve her stuffed animal subjects’ standard of living.
See THAT’S how you empower little girls. Not by taking away something they like, but showing them how what they like can be empowering.
I Sure Do Like Those Christmas Cookies by

Tony is spending a fun afternoon baking cookies with his kids, but his older one isn't acting like himself.
Whatever the problem is, it's up to the now-retired hero to figure it out.
