I have this image in my head where it’s late at night, and Miles is carrying a kid with his one arm while walking close next to the mother (just got mugged and beat up while trying to walk to her car) and letting her steady herself on his shoulder, making sure he’s on high alert the entire time, and letting the kid chew on his jacket’s drawstrings and babble senselessly because they can’t comprehend what just happened. And Miles’s spider-sense isn’t the best by any means, but it’s still pretty good, so he immediately turns to look in the direction where he feels eyes on him, and sees Peter just watching Miles walk the lady and kid home. Miles holds the stare until Peter leaves, and he never knows if Peter was being the Peter that Miles is used to, or the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man that everyone else is used to in that moment, and he never will ^_^ I just think it’s a good representation(?) of how abuse warps your perspective and destroys your sense of trust in people, and makes you feel like you’re the overly-paranoid one, the crazy bitch in the relationship, because nobody else sees/fears what you do

I just randomly remembered that in the Archie comics, Tail’s gets his shoes as a birthday gift from Sonic, and he’s so excited about it because they look just like Sonic’s shoes! Like, he just adores Sonic as his big bro and I’m in my feels about this now so I bring you another thought: Fleetway Tails gets a leather jacket that is based off of Scourge’s. Because yes, Scourge is absolutely a terrible influence on both Sonic and Tails, but he’s their terrible influence and Tails adores Scourge just as much now. Maybe it’s more steampunk-ish because he’s an inventor/mechanic? I don’t know, I just don’t really see him going for a flame aesthetic like Scourge. But now I can’t decide which would be better: Tails just walks out of his room one day wearing the jacket and EVERYONE immediately realizes why he’s doing this except Scourge who just thinks the kid is learning good fashion sense from him, or Tails DOES get the jacket as a present (maybe from Scourge himself?), and he and Scourge get to bond. What do you think?
Oh my goddddddd the thoughts you bring me are galaxy brained as always.... consider! What if we do both
Tails grabs the first halfway decent leather jacket that fits him he can find from some kind of bin and brings it home to clean and disinfect it. It's a pretty basic leather jacket, but it's got black studs and spikes on the shoulders and elbows, and some kinda edgy words or imagery printed on the back and it's a liiiiiiiiittle too big for him, but it's fine he can make it work
And he just walks out wearing it one day and everyone IMMEDIATELY clocks what he's doing because no one in the freedom fighters wears a leather jacket anymore, and certainly not a jacket with any decor except Sonic's face plastered on the back, so everyone INSTANTLY knows where this is coming from....
.... except for Scourge, because he's literally never thought it might be possible for someone to look up to him so much they start to mimic him. He just thinks he's started a trend or something, and he gloats about it to Sonic's face, and Sonic has to tell him he's not the first person in the freedom fighters to wear a damn leather jacket (he knows damn well Tails is taking after Scourge and not Porker or something because they had a jacket with Sonic's face on the back and Tails just. Never wore it a lot, and when it finally got destroyed he didn't ask for a new one so they never replaced it)
It probably takes Scourge like at least a week to twig that Tails is not wearing this goth looking leather jacket that does not suit him at all because he's picking up a fashion sense, but when he does figure it out he lowkey feels really honoured bc, again, no one has ever looked up to him that much, if he wanted something like that back in Moebius he had to force it
Because Tails literally found it in the fucking bin tho the quality is not guaranteed, and eventually it gets destroyed in some kinda fight and some of the freedom fighters are sighing in relief bc it was impossible to take Tails seriously in that lil goth jacket trying to claim he wanted it because the spikes made him look tough even though they all knew the real reason. They feel bad though because he looks so sad about it, but he seems to get over it quick enough, bc they're always losing shit like that in fights
Then for his birthday or christmas he finds he has a gift from Scourge, and when he opens it he finds it's a better steampunk leather jacket, one that actually fits him right and suits him and won't be easily destroyed in a fight. Scourge claims it's because he doesn't want to be the only one with good fashion sense around here, but everyone knows the truth. They all just pretend not to see him give advice on how to best care for a leather jacket later
(And Sonic definitely is just developing heart problems, no it is not affection at seeing Tails look up to the guy he loves, and the reason why he's not jealous Tails took after Scourge's jacket and not his own jackets is because those were custom jackets and were too expensive to get made for him anyway. That's it no other reason shut the fuck up Amy)
