𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆: peter wants to be babied.

𝘄/𝗰: 0.5k

𝗮/𝗻: hey guys!! it has been nearly a year since i’ve last written and i just wanna say i’m sorry for leaving for so long </3 please do bear with me, this may not be that good judging by how long it’s been since i’ve last written. i hope you enjoy though! also for everyone who has requested something, i haven’t forgotten about you! i’m getting to those soon :)

“please hold me” 

it’s nearly 1am and you’re sprawled out on your bed watching some random movie that was playing on tv. you’ve been up waiting for hours for peter to come by after patrol, and now he’s finally here sneaking in through your window.

“are you okay baby? you finished up pretty late” you question softly as you take off his mask and brush his hair out of his face.

“i’m fine. i just want you to hold me” he says tiredly and practically puts all of his body weight on you, causing you both to fall back onto your bed.

Romcom ❤️❤️❤️🤧

Wes Craven's & Co Red Eye (2005) DVD Commentary on Jackson x Lisa [Part 7]

Rachel McAdams in “Red Eye” (2005) - A scary accident was captured on film. In the scene in the plane bathroom, Cillian Murphy actually missed the place to throw Rachel McAdams. She hit her head and was knocked unconscious for a half hour. After that she was ready for work and Murphy was afraid to do it again. This was captured on film and is included in the gag reel on the DVD. In the take that’s in the film Murphy’s hand can be seen holding the back of McAdams’ head to guard it from it hitting again. (IMDb - “Red Eye” Trivia)

Oh, the irony…

Btw this is why Cillian covers Rachel’s back of head with his left hand here in this shot.

My canonical Riordanverse belief is that I think Zeus is jealous that Percy is Poseidon's son and not his. Let me break it down for you– Percy is named after Zeus's son Perseues and has nearly accomplished every feat a Greek hero would have done much like his other son, Hercules. Because of his quests and his feats–Percy is widely considered one of the most powerful demigod in existence–something i genuinely think Zeus resents because its Poseidon's legacy receiving the glory.

Zeus targets Percy from the beginning something he doesn't do to Nico, Hazel or even Luke. He makes Percy's life harder on purpose at every turn (burning his kite down when Percy was only 8) and even in the show, treats Percy like garbage (dismissing his concerns of fucking Kronos).

Maybe its because unlike his two children–who were raised by a woman who didn't want Zeus's kids and one of whom doesn't even like her father and his domain- Percy loves the sea and everything to do with it. Much of his dislikes and likes are ocean related (saltwater taffy, blue food, Montauk beach). Percy loving his father's domain allows Percy to have a control over his powers that by the time he is nearly 18, Percy can control any liquid not just water.

Morever Percy is comfortable as the son of Poseidon and has immense respect for his father and Poseidon actually tries to be a good dad unlike Lord "i ruined a woman's life by making her have two children who she was not capable of raising and letting a crazy Hera loose on her".

Maybe just maybe, Zeus fears the consequences of Poseidon having the most powerful demigod on his side who would take his father's side if Poseidon ever declared war on Zeus's throne.

Suzanne Collins gripping my face with her hands: listen listen the first step to evil is dehumanisation, always, the second you start to see people as less than people no matter what they've done to you that's when you start heading down a path of selfish destruction and violence

Mr D insisting that Percy's name is Peter and immediately afterwards yelling at the demigods to get the hell out of the camp I LOVE THIS GOD

I just came across the steven meme and had to do it 🏃‍♀️

[og comic]

YES YES YES YES YES

Something I love love love is that Percy keeps referring to the gods as their familial titles.

“Your son.” “Your dad.”

This boy knows love. Knows the warmth of his mother’s gaze. Knows how to wrap his arms around friends, tells them they matter, they’re important, they’ll be okay. Knows how to see the best in people, see the good. He’ll hold fast and brave the storm.

He knows how messed up all the games are. All of the god’s stupid rules, and squabbles, and schemes, and pride. That none of it matters

Percy really said y’all don’t know the meaning of family and that’s so sad.
