Teacher: I changed the due date for that project I assigned you all, it's due tomorrow!
Class: *screams*
Teacher: Got you! April fools!
Rin: Haha, who needs April Fools when your entire life is one big, sick joke!
Rin: ...
Rin: ...I'm about to start crying.
Suguro: Shit, dude. C'mere.
Rin, in Suguro's arms: I was raised in a monastery, Suguro. A monastery! The son of Satan, raised in a monastery! My LAST NAME is a play on the word "demon" in Japanese!
Rin, now sobbing: IT'S ONE HUGE FUCKING JOKE WITHOUT A PUNCHLINE
Mind swimming with thoughts
What if...
What if, instead of a "you guys have an adorable son" 2.0, we have the opposite of it?
What if someone comes up to Eddie to tell him that "Chris uncle is so good with him!" or that "Chris could never find a better godfather!", or some heteronormative shit like that?
What if Eddie blanches, freezes, because that should be what Buck is, right? An uncle, a godfather, a friend of the family?
But, then, why does all that sounds so little in face of who Buck really is?
Buck is his best friend, the best he's ever had. He's also Chris' best friend, and while he is slightly envious of the title, it's not bad. He isn't Chris godfather, though, much less his uncle, even though they do look alike, with the curls and all, almost like they're...
Like they're father and son.
Oh.
Oh.
When he put Buck on his will, so long ago (a lifetime, really), he was... Listen, both Adriana and Sophia are lovely to Chris. They never treat him like he's breakable, incapable of doing things on his own, they never prive him from his agency. When he still lived in El Paso, he was overjoyed whenever they stopped by to look after Chris. They knew his son was amazing and shouldn't be put down for doing his own thing.
Adriana had a degree in pedagogy and Sophia was a physiotherapist. If the worst came to happen, they'd look after Christopher, and they'd do it well.
But...
But.
Whenever he thought about Buck's place in his life, he never put him in a "friend" category. Not since he stepped up and helped Eddie get back to his son after the earthquake, or when he saw Eddie struggling and introduced him to Carla, or when saved him from a tsunami.
After that first year, with its highs and lows, Buck became family. He slotted into their dynamic incredibly well, helped juggle the duties when Eddie was getting overwhelmed, learned to take cues for when to take a little more than usual. They learned how to communicate from a single look, and, yes, for their incredibly dangerous job but also for things like "did he put sunscreen on?" or "just five more minutes of videogames and he needs to do his schoolwork" or "this movie is not appropriate for his age".
Buck looked at their little family and asked "is there anyone taking that spouse spot?" and didn't wait for an answer.
And, fuck, Eddie wasn't mad that he hadn't waited for it. Before now, before therapy, he didn't know if he'd accept it.
But right now? When he has his head coming into a good place, a place where he could see that he deserved help, he deserved good things, he deserved to be loved?
By all the gods and saints, Eddie was ready to accept everything Buck had to offer and strive to return it tenfold.
Buck was theirs, his and Chris', just as much as their were Buck's. He only needed to know how to say it out loud.
"ice goes on the eye bud" which means take care of yourself for me because i am too scared of putting my bloodied hands anywhere near you, "ice goes on the eye bud" which means i wish i could touch you without breaking both of us, "ice goes on the eye bud" which means let me heal this done unto you do not let me bring anymore violence with me, "ice goes on the eye bud" which means do not let yourself hurt, "ice goes on the eye bud" which means can i help you? let me help you. i cannot look at you without seeing you covered in my blood. can i keep the pain away? is the pain my fault? let me help, please, dear god, let me help.
how do people listen to sleeping at last and not go absolutely bonkers?? Like
“forgiveness is a lesson he cursed you to learn”??? “darkness exists to make light truly count”??? “may our stories catch fire and burn bright enough to catch God’s eye”??? “we pray we were made in the image of a figure eight”??? “if truth is north then I am true south”??? “It’s so exhausting on this silver screen where I play the role of anyone but me”??? “I’ve been less than half myself for more than half my life”??? “God knows, I am dissonance waiting to be swiftly pulled into tune”??? “I bend the definition of faith to exonerate my blind eye”??? “pain is a well-intentioned weatherman predicting God as best he can, but God I wanna feel again”??? “our stained glass means nothing without light”??? “in our grey matter all grey matters”??? “sign language is our reply when church bells make no sound”??? “for in our great sorrow we learn what joy means”??? “I’ll try and find the image of God in mountains made of ash and clouds of smoke”??? “they’re calling off the war on account of losing track of what we’re fighting for”??? “if brokenness is a form of art, I must be a poster child prodigy”??? “it’s a cruel, cruel trick how we find ourselves when we lose everything else”???
There are so many more but these are just my favorites

hello i have seen homecoming three times now and i’m obsessed and in love with everything about the movie and the trans!peter headcanon
The first thing i heard about trans!peter was a post talking about how being bullied for being a nerd in school really isnt a common thing anymore, at least in america, and, if anything, in my experience, it tends to be the smartest kids that are actually the most popular. And the post raised the question: So what if peter is actually bullied because he’s trans? And that makes so much sense. And being a trans boy in high school myself and absolutely on board with the headcanon i thought i’d join in and add some things. Some of these other people may have talked about also.
“I am not a GIRL. IM A BOY. I mEAN IM A MAN.” peter gets very upset when donald glover’s character calls him a girl. his voice breaks and he gets visibly flustered.
Flash calls him “Penis Parker”. speaking from experience, high school bullies are not very creative with nicknames and will always go straight for the deepest insecurity they know. I personally think this is a dig at peter being trans.
Peter has proportionally quite small hands and feet.
He enjoys playing with things like Legos and Star Wars action figures. possibly because he didn’t get to when he was little.
He has quite a high pitched voice which he has difficulty controlling the depth of.
May’s comment about his body changing and him not feeling like he can fit in at a classmate’s party makes much more sense if you think of peter as trans.
Ned asks Peter if the spider venom gave him the ability to lay eggs, which is a bizarre question to begin with, but even stranger if being asked of an amab person. but this likely doesn’t have any substance as it was obviously just meant to be a funny moment, which it was, i laughed out loud all three times i heard it.
Peter doesn’t have much in the way of sideburns.
He’s pretty short.
The gym classes at Peter’s school are not separated by gender and they all wear the same uniform.
Most of his clothes are quite big on him. In my own experience, shopping in the men’s sections in stores doesn’t tend to go very well in terms of finding things that fit. Additionally, baggier clothes help to hide the chest and hip areas.
He doesn’t know how to tie a tie. Now this seems unimportant at first, but i actually think it could mean a lot, so hear me out. Considering how many clubs and extra curriculars he’s in (robotics, marching band, decathlon, etc.) he should have been to many recitals, concerts, competitions, etc that would require him to wear a tie throughout his intermediate and high school years. It’s weird that neither him nor may would know how to tie one. unless- he’s never done it before because he’d always worn the traditionally feminine uniform or formal wear.
Now, there’s those two shirtless scenes that some people have been using to discredit the headcanon where he’s clearly muscular and flat chested with no visible scars. Well, my doubtful friends, there’s the possibility of a keyhole surgery which leaves minimal scarring. Also, the spider venom increases muscle growth and metabolism, and also gives peter a mild healing factor. This could have caused any scars he had to heal and fade completely.
now obviously i realize not all of this inherently means he’s trans. cis guys can be short or have small hands and feet or high pitched voices or rounder hairlines, especially when they’re only 15 years old and everyone is growing at a different rate. These things just flesh out the headcanon a bit more.
tl;dr: Peter Parker is an endlessly adorable trans boy and the hero we all need.
The critics are all cowards
Cloak and dagger are my favourite duo and I’m so glad they are getting more recognition now with being included in Marvel Rivals!
COUNTDOWN TO MARVEL RIVALS
2 - Cloak & Dagger
( technically it’s 29 but that doesn’t look as pleasing as 30 )
31. Jirou is not allowed to have her speakers during school nights, as last time we allowed her to keep them in her room she started blasting “gravy train” at one in the morning.
32. There is always one person on Bakugo duty when it gets chilly outside. He won’t admit it, but he is cold, and needs a jacket.
33. We don’t know how or why Denki got TikTok famous, but that app is not good for his health. He’s on it constantly. If you see him on it, slap his phone from his hands.
34. Just because Tsuyu can regurgitate her stomach does not mean you should ask her to. We’re looking at you, Mineta.
35. Attempting to scare Koda by placing fake plastic centipedes around the dorms is not wise. He has a surprisingly high pitched scream and Uraraka had ringing in her right ear for two weeks after someone did it to him the first time.
36. Organizing another “sit on your desktop” protest to combat Iida’s swatting might actually give him a literal heart attack. Please be courteous to our class president and sit in your darn chairs before he spontaneously combusts.
37. Trying to translate anything Aoyama says is a bad idea. We don’t know why he chooses to only say certain sentences in French, but most of the time they’re just weird.
38. We don’t know who keeps doing it, but the name plate on Sero’s room door is constantly being changed to “sticky daddy” and the staff of Heights Alliance are not happy about it. We advise against continuing this.
39. Todoroki is unbeatable in Mario cart. Not even Shoji has been able to take him down. For the safety of all, do not let Bakugo and Todoroki play against each other. Those consoles are expensive to replace.
40. Addressing rule 30, Sero has started making cookies. Do not be fooled, they are baked with the same ingredients as the brownies. Todoroki made the mistake of eating one and was found in his dorm room trying to act out Elsa’s “Let It Go”. That was a lot of damage to repair.
41. Todoroki and Deku adopted a pet cat named Cheese. We’ve agreed to keep Cheese a secret. He’s part of the family now. If anyone rats Cheese out, I ( Ochako Uraraka, hmu @ room 113 ) will fight you in a Calvary battle.
42. Yelling “sneeze” over and over until Todoroki sneezes has proven to be a bad idea. Last time that happened Todoroki froze Aizawa to his desk.
43. Deku will start crying if you play the ASPCA commercial. He won’t stop for hours and Todoroki has to handle it. If it turns on, immediately turn it off. Those tears could bring down the building.
44. Mineta has a specialty mandated school computer. If anyone sees him using his personal one outside of his room, please inform Aizawa. He uses the voice option of google translate to interrupt class with inappropriate words and pulls up restricted content.
45. If Jirou approaches you holding a pair of earbuds, telling you to “check this out” do not take her up on the offer. Denki was temporarily hearing impaired for a month until he recovered.
46. Asking Sero to use his tape as spider webs like spider man is a horrible idea, and does not have the same strength as the real thing.
47. Someone needs to remind Iida to sleep if he’s been studying. He starts to hyper-focus and doesn’t realize 8 hours have passed. The boy needs rest.
48. Denki is not allowed in the communal bath when he’s sick. If he sneezes, everyone in that bathroom will die.
49. Bakugo will act like his hearing aids are off when he’s pissed at you. There’s no use trying to talk to him then, even if he can actually hear you.
50. Touching Deku’s hero notebooks is one of the worst ideas you could possible have. Do not.
51. Saying “wanna fight” as a joke around Todoroki and Bakugo is quite possibly the worst thing you could ever do. They’re not good with social cues, and will take you up on the offer. We advise against it.
52. Todoroki is too stubborn to admit when he’s sick. He will walk around as if nothings wrong with a 105 degree temp in the name of not showing weakness. When this happens, please immediately contact Midoriya.
53. Kirishima will shout “dibs” whenever Bakugo enters the room. Let this happen. It’s cute.
54. Do not hand Bakugo a Snickers and say “you’re not yourself when you’re hungry”. Denki has attempted this and he ended up with half the bar stuck down his trachea. Ergo rule 54.
55. Truth or dare, more specifically the dare, is no longer allowed in the dorms.
56. Mineta is required at least one person to keep him in check on Valentine’s Day. There’s too much opportunity to be nasty, do not be afraid to hit him.
57. We have a special “Shouto Squad” for whenever Endeavor makes trips to the school for hero lectures. Midoriya and Iida lead the squad. Contact Midoriya for more information.
58. Bakugo, Jirou, and Denki are no longer allowed in the dorm kitchen.
59. Just because Midoriya hugs Todoroki does not mean just anyone can. That is a exclusive privilege, and attempting to do this could end in sudden life threatening injuries.
60. Absolutely do not wake Momo up before 11 on the weekend.

everyone's like wehhhhh why doesn't doctor house gets suuuueeed! like my man. literally every patient he sees is someone that's been trying to find a diagnosis for ages. i could live with a little medical malpractice if it were coming from someone ready to break into my home to look for allergens and not simply half heartedly listen to me before suggesting I lose weight and take ages of back and forth arguing to order a single test
