Trust, faith, surrender are essential for shaping a new story. A new story requires your love and willingness, so it can enter your life.

Druga poslanica Korinćanima 8:12 Ako ste doista spremni darivati druge, nije važno koliko možete dati. Bog očekuje da date ono što imate, a ne ono što nemate.

Can you please do something with Yandre! Peter Parker and a reader who just fully accepts it? I reader your general headcanons and loved like the sweet side of things lol. Like she thinks she’ll hate it but she hasn’t got to do anything and can research stuff she’s interested in (like History), and then Peter comes home and she just gets love and someone cares for her. idk, hopefully my message is put across well lol. Thank you!

Yandere! Peter Parker With Accepting Reader

Hopefully this is adequate for what you requested. I hope you like it. Also, I just wanna explain that I imagine this to be the Peter Parker who’s living in his own apartment at the end of the last movie. 🕷♥️

Ooo I love this idea. But you’re right he would be really sweet. I think the only times a yandere tendency would come into play with him is when you were in potential danger of harm by someone else, in potential danger of being taken by someone else, and when he’s had a bad day and just wants to indulge in you.

I see that last one happening a lot with the work he does. But I’ll come back to that later and just go in chronological order; by events.

When he first takes you and you begin to heavily hesitate, he understands. He’s not a delusional yandere. He would know this is a big change for you that you had to get adjusted to and he’d do whatever you want to make that more comfortable. (Except for going back home that’s out of the question)

He would definitely try talking to you about things first. Your worries about the situation, things to make the transition easier, rules, punishments with an emphasis on how he’d never physically hurt you though because he never wants to see you upset.

“Well we can go over everything to maybe ease your mind.”

“Um.. not right now but if I know I can trust you then later you might can talk to your friends and things.”

“I’m sorry.. I don’t want to make this miserable for you. Is there anything I can get you that you like that’ll make it easier to be in here? You like history facts? Ok, I’ll pay for the history channel and get some books for you. What kind of history do you like? Heh, there’s a lot of it”

“well I do have some basic rules that I have to go over with you but again, they won’t be permanent if I know I can trust you.”

He would get a part time job to fund everything he needed for you. You ask and you shall receive!

After the tension has settled down between you two and you become more open to the idea. He would slowly introduce new aspects. He’ll come home showing you his new Lego set and asked what you found out about history that day. Spending general time together makes him, well, giddy.

He would think about introducing physical touch but was still weary of how you would react. He knew you were probably still adjusting but.. he just wanted to hold you.

“Hey uh.. can-can I hug you? If not I understand I just..I want to.”

If you said no, he’d totally respect it and wait til you guys felt a bit closer to ask again. But if you said yes, prepare for cuddles!

Remember when I said he’d want to indulge in you after a bad day? This is where that comes into play. I 100% can imagine him coming in with cuts and bruises and those puppy eyes just wanting to cuddle. He’d deny any treatment you’d offer at first. He’d just want to wrap his arms around you and nuzzle his head into your neck or even lap. Very golden retriever, this guy.

“I’ll get the first aid kit in a minute, I just… can I lay with you for a little while.. please?” 🥺

He would cook breakfast for you before he left, have a mini fridge with drinks and snacks for when he’s gone, and would come home to make dinner for you. He didn’t know much about cooking before, he learned to cook just because of you.

He’d clean the room as well and would ask you didn’t do anything too strenuous. Leave it up to him. That’s what he wants. He wants to take care of you any way you’d let him. If you one day asked him to comb your hair, he’d almost jump with glee then calm down enough so he can be incredibly gentle when combing. He did not want to tug on it or hurt you so it would take him a while and he’d go really slow. If you asked him to hand feed you, he’d love to and make sure to blow on each bite before feeding it to you. He’d get a little anxious not knowing if what he was doing was good enough though. If he was combing your hair and there was even the slightest tug, he’d gasp and ask if he hurt you. Or if he was feeding you and you grimaced or your facial expression faltered, he would turn into: 🥺 that emoji with the puppy eyes and ask if it was too hot, cold, or if you didn’t like it. So, in other words, he’s extremely, if not overboard in his attentiveness.

But it’s all for you and because he loves you. He just wants the best for you!

After your relationship developed and he could completely trust you, he’d allow you more freedoms. He’d at first allow you to text one, just one, of your family members of your choice just to take it slow for now. He will also be watching over your shoulder. He’d gradually allow more freedoms with who you spoke to. He’d then allow you to go out into town with him once your family knows you’re okay and that, “you just needed time alone.” Although you had to by with him every time you went out in town but he would buy you absolutely anything you wanted. One of the big freedoms he’s kind of scared to give you is to see your parents again because of course, he’d have to be there and that means he’d be meeting your family. What if they don’t like him? What if they try to take you away from him? He would express these feelings to you and ask what you thought as you knew your parents and what they’d accept in their daughters partner.

Also, quick note. He acts very much in the dating phase but in his head he thinks (knows) that marriage and kids are going to happen with you guys at some point. Like it is just natural information in his mind. So while he’s easing you both into more scenarios/freedoms/situations, he already sees you as his wife. He always had. He is committed to you and nobody but you.

Hopefully everything went well with your family and friends and they all got along with Peter. Otherwise you might “need to take a break” again. Contact via cell phone would still be open with them, but no way in hell were they going to separate you both. Unless you can convince them to think otherwise.

He just wants to be with you. Nothing is going to change that from happening. As long as your friends and family accept that, you’re life will be lived happily ever after.

[Willingness to take responsibility—and blame—for both.]

[heart-songs]

This is how you fall in love

Stop thinking so much. Follow that tug around your waist wherever it leads. Put your hands behind your back and take the leap. Have the memory of everyone who ever hurt you erased. Laugh until you cry with relief. Write a poem about how it feels to write a poem. Write another about the way the sunlight filters through the trees. Paint a sunset with your mind. Frame it with your heart. Hold a puppy. Let her lick your face and chew on your fingers and pass out food drunk on your neck. Put on your favorite dress. Walk in a rose garden. Touch them but don’t cut any of the blooms. Let their thorns scrape your limbs, leave impressions of their own. Crack open a book. Crack open your rib cage, let the butterflies out. While you’re at it, rip your heart from your chest. Dare to put it in someone else’s hands. Watch them watch it beat faster. Memorize their smile when they realize it’s because of them. Kiss them. Kiss them like you have all the time in the world. Get naked. Get in bed. Lie vulnerably beside them without having sex. Tell them about your nightmares. Hold them through theirs. Wake with them. Slowly. Admire the sunrise through each other’s eyes. Tell them about your dreams. Ask them about theirs. Listen for their voice, even when they are miles away. Listen to their heart when they can’t find the words. Make love. Make breakfast. Make a mess. Clean it up together. Let go of the past. Never let go of their hand.

Acceptance and commitment, Truth

Reflecting more on a powerful reframe I can really get behind. The course and my growing belief in it is showing me purpose and potential, and that it is good and right to be where I am now.

Seeking to free myself from my long term addiction, now while keeping this secondary to working on the course. I must hold off drinking, paradoxically, to maintain focus. Finding something greater to commit to. Acceptance and commitment is my present action and goal... Accepting that where my issues may take an unusual and isolating form from others, they really have the same content. Committing in perception to identifying with the solution.

We are all of the spirit, that mustard seed of faith and willingness that can move mountains if we can but identify it. This is a challenging life.
