i think he already has a spider-dad i think we're going to end up being designated spider-big-sister and spider-big-brother. that seems to be the way of things
remember when you were still in high school trying to figure out the whole spider thing and there was that lady who dropped her purse in the street and almost got run over by a taxi but you managed to swing by at the right time to pull her out of the way?
i wonder how she's doing
[ yes of course gwen is totally making shit up based on her experiences so this might've never happened to him at all.
but she'll wait while he panics over trying to figure that out ]
the things going wrong part is where i learned i need to like compartmentalize it's gonna pile up eventually though, pete and then it is YOU who becomes the grey-hair-inducer 😋

But also, why does he end up dragged into our stuff?
I'm kinda worried for the kiddo back home now.
Should I be grounding him forever preemptively or???

isn't it exhausting? caring so much?
especially with people who can't like
give that back to you

I guess sometimes? Okay, a LOT of the time
Especially with how many people also can't stand me
or how often things go wrong and it hurts
But I guess it kind of, IDK
Makes NYC a great big home to me, even between actual homes
Feels like the extended family I never got to have
or something.
That sounds depressing, I swear it's not.
