all the times tony stark was a father figure towards peter parker; an emotional and soft thread.
in ca:cw when he was already so attached to pete and related to him because he knows what it feels like to be different than others.
in hoco, when even tho they had recently met he was looking out for peter and wishing him the best.
and when peter felt the need to hug him here because after uncle ben and may he's the one who was his idol; who was rooting for him and looking out for him. i feel like this is the moment where peter started trusting tony more and considered him as his mentor.
when tony felt the need to give peter a hearing and take away his suit because not only did he needed to realise his responsibilities but also because tony cared about the kid and was scared of what he would do if he lost him.
when he gave peter THIS piece of advice because he had started looking out for him the moment he met him during civil war.
and when peter proves himself to be equally worthy without the suit, tony felt so proud of his kid that not only did he give him the offer to be an avenger but also made an ironspider suit for him and when pete refused the offer he was even more proud of him :')
in infinity war, when peter was on the *flying donut* and couldn't breathe, tony immediately sent him the ironspider suit and told he to get down and go home because he was worried about him passing out because of lack of oxygen.
when peter being the rebel he is, snucks into the ship even tho tony warned him not to and tony gives him the look of a disappointed dad
and this is what pete says in return. Typical father son argument
fatherson
and tony proceeds to give him the classic stressed out parent lecture
when they both executed the same dumbasses-who-are-tired-of-other- dumbasses-energy
same energy again
and um...yeah when THIS happened. "Because if something happens to you, i feel like that's on me." tony was so distraught that he lost the kid he swore to himself to protect. After his mom, pepper, rhodey and happy, peter was one of those people that tony loved purely.
tony had lost pete for 5 years. Tony had an adorable picture of them FRAMED in HIS kitchen. He took one look at the frame and he KNEW he would have to risk it all to bring his kid and everyone back. This is the moment he knew what he was gonna do because thats how much he cared.
When they reunited after the portals opened. Tony definitely regretted not hugging Peter back in hoco. That's why the moment he saw peter the only thing he could do was stare at him with adoration in his eyes and finally hug him to let him know how much he cared and loved him.
and then that was it.he lost another father figure. Who didn't only guide him, taught him but also stopped him if he was going wrong. peter couldn't bear the loss of his mentor and another father figure. and he will always keep him in his memory and make him proud.
like it or not, they were both extremely important for each other because they could relate being different, being unique. they could relate having responsibilities from a young age. That's why they looked out for each other and had respect towards each other.Tony lost him once-
but Peter lost him forever .he lost a person he could look up to. Someone who helped him find himself as make him realise his potential. He lost a father who risked it all just to bring HIM back. But tony was proud of him. And Peter knew that. And he won't let him down.
end of thread.
