#it’s rare that there’s a Tony ship I don’t like
Fandom asks for MCU <3! 3, 5 (Loki), 6, 9, 17 (Tony), 22 (Emma)
3. NoTP?
Scott Summers/Jean Grey, Logan/Jean Grey, Anyone/Jean Grey (I mean, if I have to have her around in a fic and shipped with anyone, it's usually another character I don't dig either), Steve Rogers/Peggy Carter, Anyone/Peggy Carter, Steve Rogers/Sharon Carter, Steve, Bucky, Sam/Brock Rumlow, Tony Stark/Pepper Potts (I mean, I can deal with their relationship as a past relationship turned best friends, but I'm not gonna read or write their ship as I think they weren't really healthy for each other - like Ross and Rachel.) Loki/Grandmaster (I will make references to it as a past thing that Loki did for survival but he hates it). Loki/Thor (There's some pretty-pretty artwork out there, and I will acknowledge that it's gorgeous and can enjoy it as artwork, but as an actual pairing, no. Just not my thing.)
5. Out of all your fanworks that include [Loki], which is your favourite?
Obviously, my on-going WIP series Hemispheres would be the top of that favorite list, but then I'd have to say I'm torn between these two:
What's on your mind, half of the time, (brother mine)
and
A little shy and sad of eye but very wise was he
Both of them feature Loki in vulnerable moments. The first one, he's like 5 and tiny and adorable and scared of the storm. He gets to meet a stranger who boosts his confidence a little. And the second one, he comes back after a grueling time in Asgard with Thor, who's still being far too bullying, and his friends and is really low about it, and Tony gathers everyone up to make a blanket fort (as Loki's never experienced one before), order Loki's favorite take-out, and watch movies to comfort him. Wholly self-indulgent on the comfort side.
6. Show us a bit of a WIP!
From "Too weird to live, too rare to die" (Justin Hammer/Loki)
“So Loki made friends with Natasha by helping her with mission stuff?” Justin roped them back around to the other topic. 
Nodding, he answered, “Yeah.  He did some spellwork for her.  Imbued it into a piece of jewelry that essentially all she’s gotta do is think about how she wants to look, and that’s how she looks.  The spell lasts as long as she needs it to, and then when she’s ready to not look different, she just thinks of herself and bam.  Nat again.  No more dying her hair unless she wants to, no more contacts, no more tech that can blitz out on her.” 
Justin looked impressed.  A little skeptical, him being a tech and science guy like Tony, especially tech, but still impressed.  He wondered how Loki’s ‘magic’ could be utilized in their own tech, but he figured Tony had already been thinking about that. 
“Nice.  Sounds like he’s much better as an ally than an adversary,” Justin remarked as he finished with the last of the dishes.  He dried his hands and hung up the towel again. 
Tony took in how easily Justin took on the domestic task of dishes.  Seems like he learned some humility in prison, after all, and wasn’t looking to be waited on anymore.  Perhaps there was hope for guys like them after all. 
“Much better as an ally, though don’t let the gentle smiles and the fun tea parties he has with Morgan fool you.  He’s still dangerous when he wants to be.  He’s like a cat.  Don’t rub him the wrong way or you’ll find his claws slashing your hamstrings,” he joked, but the serious look in Tony’s eyes said he wasn’t actually joking. 
Justin walked over to the fridge, grabbing a glass along the way, and filled it up with ice and water.  He took Tony’s glass from him to fill it up, too, and handed it back, refusing to see the pleasant surprise in that gaze that followed him around to take a seat at one of the tall chairs at the counter.  Cold, pure water rushed down his throat and gave him time to think of how to respond to what Tony said.  Setting the glass on the counter, Justin turned it around and around, watching as the water remained calm even in its movement. 
“You think Loki’s dangerous to people here and you let him stay?  He’s really close to Morgan from what I hear.  I don’t see him much.  Passing in the halls, when we eat.  That’s about it, but your kid adores him.”  Justin let out a breathy laugh.  “I think she adores all of us, though, so I think that’s just her.  Big heart.”  Like her dad. 
Moving across the kitchen so he could belly up to the counter next to Justin, Tony took a drink of his water and set the glass down.  Two men, both at one time consumed by the big buck, by reputation and prestige and power, by controlling the playing field where weapons and tech were concerned, rivals – not bitterly so but rivals nevertheless, now sitting side by side, drinking fucking water for fuck’s sake, when they used to be dripping in the finest whiskey and women.  Burying the hatchet, and not in each other’s skulls. 
Tony never would’ve believed it could happen, especially not after he and Rhodey had to face down Vanko and the shitstorm he brought that Justin bankrolled. 
It was kind of nice, though, given that one of the last people Tony’d wronged in the past had injected his ex with Extremis, which still made Pepper a fiery handful to deal with, but at least, they’d gotten a handle on it for her so that she did set people on fire with her fists anymore.  While he’d never specifically wronged Justin the way he had Aldrich Killian (and really wronged was a little strong for just saying he’d been a spoiled dismissive asshole), he had been a dismissive asshole, which pushed Justin to make one of the worst decisions of his life. 
“I don’t think Loki’s a danger to Morgan ever,” Tony finally stated and tilted his head to meet Justin’s curious stare.  “I don’t think Loki’s a danger to me or Bruce or probably not Thor anymore.  Not since we’ve all sorta ganged up on Thor and told him not to be a dick to his brother.  The stabbing’s stopped at any rate.  You, though.  He doesn’t know you well enough yet, so I’d just say...tread carefully.  You never know when you’ll end up on a mission with him.” 
“Yeah, about that,” a voice from behind them announced. 
Tony and Justin swiveled their seats. 
Phil Coulson met their eyes. 
9. Write a recommendation of someone else's fic you enjoyed!
Okay look, I have so many bookmarks and fics I could recommend that are tear-jerkers, kept me on the edge of my seat through months and months, that made me swoon, and I could easily give any and all of those. I could and I would! But this asks for one fic, and I'm gonna go with one that made me LOL so hard it woke up dog up from a nap in the other room and had my sister asking me if I was okay because for a second, I couldn't breathe.
Clark's Chicken by @kleenexwoman
I don't normally read DC fanfic. I like DC okay enough to know generally who the major players are, but I'm not invested. However, I am invested in my friends and their creative sparks, unless I'm just really not at all into a particular fandom. I can't really write a full review to say what it's about other than it's not exactly safe for work, definitely not for kids, though teenagers would love this, I think. I think that's why I love it - I'm still 12 and masturbation and fart jokes make me giggle. (There are no fart jokes in this, but discussion around masturbation is.) I want as many people as possible to read this fic because all the laughter in the world could finally heal humanity, I think, and if we could all laugh our asses off at this one, it could drive out the darkness all around us these days. Seriously, I believe this fic has the potential to lighten the world, to drive out the fascists, to heal the sick and sad, to build a protective bubble around the vulnerable - all through the laughter that this fic will grace people with. READ IT AND LEAVE KLEENEXWOMAN SOME LOVE ON IT.
17. What's a book, movie, or show you think [Tony] would like?
Book - American Gods - He really rooted for the New Gods at first, especially Technical Boy and Media, but somewhere in it, he really dug Mr. Wednesday, Mr. World (and especially Mr. World's reveal).
Movie - Real Genius
Show - McGyver (remake)
22. Give us a headcanon for [Emma]
So many people give Emma shit for being cold, stand-offish, and snobby, and because of this, Emma performs that to perfection. However, around those who see past this barrier, she's loving, warm, tender, kind, encouraging, compassionate, and has one of the biggest hearts they've ever met - and she uses her big bucks to take care of the people she loves.
Thanks for the asks!!!

How to Disappear Completely
Also on AO3! This is purely a vent fic so characters might be OOC. TRIGGER WARNINGS - suicide attempt (overdose), suicidal thoughts, near death, vomiting, and hospitalization. DO NOT SHIP PETER AND TONY. P/ROSHIP DNI.
“Hey, Mr. Stark. It’s me again. How are you doing? How’s the trip? You’ve been away for a couple of days now, haha…”
Peter doesn’t get any reply. He sighs.
“I guess my patrol hasn’t been too bad. But school has been stressing me out lately. Sometimes I wish I could leave the Decathlon, but I already left the school band and a bunch of other things… I dunno, I don’t think I can handle things the way I used to.”
He stares at the night sky, listening to the whole city. It never sleeps and neither will Peter.
“Ned has been sick all week. It’s nothing serious, but he needs to rest and I don’t want to bug him. Aunt May has been busy, working a lot more night shifts, and I know it’s my fault. I rarely see her now. She still texts me or calls me to know how I’m doing, but it’s not the same, y’know?” Peter narrates. “And I know you and Happy have more important things to do, I get it, it’s fine.”
As he says that, he starts tearing up.
“... I wish I could’ve told you to stay,” Peter admits. “That’s really selfish of me, I know. You don’t have to drop everything for my sake. I wouldn’t want you to do that. I just…” He sniffs. “I miss you, Mr. Stark. I-I feel like I don’t have anyone else right now. And it’s not like I’m hurt or anything… I just miss you very much.”
He half uncovers his face so his mask doesn’t get gross with tears and snot.
“... You know when you come home and you don’t feel anything? Even after you had a good day or you didn’t feel like shit all day? But then you get home and you see how empty it is… you feel so lonely that it hurts, somehow. It’s empty but it hurts, real bad. Have you ever felt like that, Mr. Stark? Or is it just me?” Peter wishes to god that someone answered this. “A-And it hurts so much that… you wish you could disappear. Because you don’t want to go back outside, but you don’t want to be home, either. There’s nothing for you in either.”
The emptiness is right there, in Peter’s silence. It’s there with the lack of the other line. It’s always there and it will always be there, no matter how busy Peter may be, no matter how hard he might laugh with his best friend, or how happy he might be when Tony compliments him and touches him. Every night that Peter comes back home, there’s nothing left. Peter will never be fulfilled.
He can’t stay home, he can’t stay outside… Where should he go?
“Mr. Stark…” Peter gulps, despite the fact Tony isn’t even here. But he needs to say it before it’s too late.
“... I love–”
“You’ve reached the limit of voicemails.”
Even his phone is telling him to shut up.
Peter inhales but he’s unable to filter out his frustration. He growls and throws his phone to the ground, easily cracking it in many pieces. Oh, great. How is he going to get a new phone now? After he broke so many? How is Aunt May going to pay for another one if he’s just going to break it again and again?
He’s sobbing violently in his empty apartment, his chest aching and suffocating him. His cries echo in all rooms, but not a soul will ever hear.
Peter can’t do this anymore.
He can’t be alone anymore.
He’s so tired.
It feels like the walls are all surrounding him and they’re crushing him. He has no way out, not even upwards. There isn’t a light above that can give him hope. No one can save it, not even himself.
He needs to go. Where to? How?
The pain is too much for him to handle.
Peter wishes he could sleep. He hasn’t slept well in days. Likely since Tony left New York.
… he remembers that Tony left him some enhanced medication. Not necessarily for sleeping, but they help Peter sleep when he’s in pain. Maybe if he takes enough, he might be able to sleep faster.
The teenager simply takes the pot of pills and he doesn’t process how many he grabs and puts in his mouth. He swallows them all with one huge sip of water. The effects don’t happen in an instant; he gradually feels his mind spinning and the world around him blurring.
He drops in his bed, knocking something over. It reminds him of when the effects of the spider bite left him sick. He thought he was going to die.
Peter starts crying, realizing Aunt May and Uncle Ben aren’t here to take care of him.
He’s fading, he can tell.
He couldn’t even say goodbye. Or “I’m sorry” or “I love you”.
Peter can only hug the blanket, the only thing that is really there for him.
What he would give to have a hug from Tony now.
But Tony is not coming, is he?
The black hole inside Peter is sucking everything in. Soon, he won’t be there anymore.
Maybe this is for the best. For everyone.
… He can vaguely tell that his suit made a noise. He doesn’t know what it is, and it doesn’t matter anymore.
He’s going to sleep.
He’ll sleep now.
He’ll…
--
“... there you go, Peter. You’re going to be okay.”
A delicate hand is caressing his forehead.
It’s like something is burning his stomach all the way up.
And Peter releases the lava inside him.
It hurts so much that he cries.
“You’re doing great, sweetheart.”
It all feels so vague, he doesn’t recall falling asleep.
Peter slowly blinks his eyes open. Someone is still there.
“Hi,” Aunt May smiles at him. Though she looks like she cried.
“May…?” Peter calls her. “Y-You’re… home earlier?”
Her smile fades a little. “Not exactly.”
“Huh? Wait…”
He finally realizes this isn’t his bedroom. He’s in a hospital room but not in any ordinary hospital. Peter is more than familiar with this place.
“... MedBay?” He asks. “Tower…?”
May nods. “You’re going to be okay. They were able to stop the medications from going too far. Tony had something under his sleeve.”
Peter’s eyes open a little more. “Tony?”
“Yes, he’ll be here soon. You missed him, right?”
“W-What do you mean? I-Is he actually here?”
May nods again. Peter doesn’t know what to feel.
“B-But… he was out of town…”
“He sent an armor to rescue you, but he’s already back home.”
This is what Peter wanted, right?
But not like this. How has Tony felt? Is he angry? Is he sad?
In fact, May doesn’t seem to be angry.
“Once he finishes talking to the doctors, he’ll be here,” she reassures Peter, who still doesn’t know how to take the news.
“I-I’m sorry, Aunt May. I’m sorry I did something so stupid…”
“Shhh… You’re going to be alright.” She hugs him but does not engulf him so as not to hurt her nephew.
Peter feels so selfish right now. And he doesn’t understand why May isn’t mad.
Once she lets go, she asks, “How are you feeling?”
“Really sick…”
May smooths his brown curls, looking pained. Like she wishes she could take away all of Peter’s suffering, when that’s impossible for anyone, even Peter himself.
Then he starts hearing outside noises. Fancy shoes of a businessman.
The door opens slowly…
“Hey there, underoos.”
Tony looks awful. He might still wear a fancy suit, but the shirt is messy and there’s no tie. The man looks like he aged a whole decade. He’s smiling yet he might have cried as much if not more than May did.
“M-Mr. Stark…” Peter tears up even more and it’s not clear if it’s out of relief or regret.
“It’s good to see you,” Tony says, swallowing a sigh.
May stands up so Tony sits next to the boy.
“It was quite a scare, huh?” His mentor observes, though not pointing any fingers at what caused the scare in the first place. Tony lowers his gaze for a moment. “I’m really sorry, Peter, I’m sorry I didn’t keep in touch–”
“No, Mr. Stark–”
“I knew you sent voicemails and I should’ve–”
“Y-You were busy, I get it… I’m sorry I made you come back.”
“Kid… you’ll always come first. You’re never going to make me do anything. You need help, so I’m going to help you, alright?”
“You can call me too, Peter,” May joins them. “I’ll do anything to get to you.”
The teen shakes his head. “Why aren’t you mad at me? W-Why won’t you hate me for… for being like this?”
“We’re not going to get mad when you need help,” Tony tells him. “Or when you’re in pain.”
“Why?”
“Because we love you, Peter,” May answers.
“Why?”
Loving me is just going to get you killed, he wants to add.
“Because you’re our kid, we love everything about you in all of your moments, no exceptions,” Tony still smiles for him.
At this point, Peter is unable to protest anymore. He bursts out in tears, and from each side, May and Tony wrap their arms around him. He can’t fathom to understand this readiness, this kind of comprehension.
Their top priority is to stay with Peter. That’s all that matters.
Soon enough, Tony convinces May to get some food. She doesn’t have to pay anything, he made sure of that. She grins at him gratefully, trusting him with Peter without even saying words. Once she leaves, Tony reveals some water he must have gotten for Peter. Problem is, he feels sick and he doesn’t want to throw up, but he definitely feels thirsty as well.
“Slowly, okay?" Tony instructs. "If you need to throw up, I have a bin right here."
Peter just takes a small sip. It’s kind of hard to swallow, but for now he doesn’t gag.
“Good job,” the hero compliments.
The boy sniffs. “H-How did you know?”
Tony suddenly looks tired.
“You were wearing your suit,” he replies simply.
“... Oh.”
I put everything in your suit.
“And… did you hear my voicemails?”
“All of them while I was on my way here.”
Peter groans. “Mr. Stark… Gosh, I’m so sorry for being clingy…”
“Well, would I be clingy to admit I missed you, too?”
“... You missed me?”
“Duh.”
Tony doesn’t sound that snarky admitting that. Neither does he joke that Peter is giving him gray hairs.
“I should’ve made that clearer, huh?”
“I-It’s okay–”
“Seriously, kid. I should’ve been more present. I promise you I’ll remind you more often that I remember you and that you’re not annoying me.”
Peter reflects.
“... Do I really mean that much?”
“You have no idea.”
Peter would’ve blushed if he weren’t so drained out.
He relaxes a little more. But there is a question in his head right now.
“... What is going to happen to me?”
Tony seems to be ready for that question.
“Well, you won’t be Spider-Manning for a while, and you’re not going to be alone. We’ll see how you’ll be tomorrow, but I’m certain that you didn’t have any serious complications. I had the right antidote. You might just feel sick for a few days, though.”
Peter ponders. “Y-You’re not going to send me away, right? To that place?”
Hearing the fear in his voice, Tony sits closer to him to also pat his head.
“No, kiddo. I’ll make sure you have the best treatment, alright?” He ensures. “And I promise no one is going to hurt you or isolate you.”
Peter has heard about psych wards and how hostile they can be. And he cannot imagine what it would be like for someone with mutant powers there.
“Me, your aunt, everyone is going to be there for you at every step of the process. We’ll figure it out slowly. And you’re not going to feel instantly better, and that’s okay. Don’t be afraid to tell us when you’re not feeling okay or if we mess up. We’ll listen. Okay, Peter?”
Tony always sounds so certain and determined when it comes to Peter. The latter will never truly understand that. But he nods and accepts it.
“Okay.”
The man, once again, hugs him. This time for a little longer.
Peter has some strength to hug back with one arm.
“... I love you,” he whispers. “I-I love you, Mr. Stark.”
Tony doesn’t respond at first…
Then he’s tightening his grip a little bit.
“I love you too, kiddo.”
And Peter can hear thousands of other words in it. Tony doesn’t have to say them.
The boy cries again.
Not only because Peter could finally say it… But most importantly, he’s alive to actually hear it back from Tony.
It won’t get rid of the black hole… but it will help Peter manage it.

why do I feel like the previous anon was a dig at me for asking questions about the kind of people James and George were😃I could be wrong though.
my only thing about why I’m hoping all of them in the show will show their flaws or how much of a bad person they can be is because I know it’ll be so much easier for people to understand or even sympathize with George simply because Nicholas is playing him. I’ve probably mentioned this before but I fully believe it has something to do with looks.
Nicholas is incredibly attractive so a lot of people feel more inclined or gravitate towards his character to feel sympathy, maybe defend, or ‘babygirl’ George even through problematic issues he’s had (that might be in the show but idk what they’ll include) but compared to Tony portraying James? I don’t think he’s going to get that same energy or thought process because his character might be criticized more simply because some people don’t find Tony/James attractive. I’ve seen this happen many times and it’s just odd people haven’t picked up on that.
I’m not saying people aren’t allowed to make up their own opinions about how they perceive the the characters or force my opinions onto others. I honestly can say that I feel sympathy for George and James (even Mary) but I think a lot of people aren’t going to realize how much looks would come into play when their formulating their opinions about the characters.
I’m sorry if I’m not making any sense, I have a hard time writing my thoughts! also I’m not trying to start anything so I hope this doesn’t come across as rude or anything😭
-✨
I don't think asking "good or bad" type questions is necessarily pointless… after all, people do have vices and virtues, and they can make good, bad, or downright evil decisions. I think we can even evaluate relative badness to some extent (like the 5th Earl of Bothwell, there's a phenomenally shitty person). Rather, it's a binary vision of good and bad guys that's toxic for the study of history. I think it's also limiting for media. If you (general you, not you, ✨) are going into Mary & George just looking to be entertained, there's no need to have several essays cited that George Villiers Is A Good Person™ Actually before you've even sat down. Not every story is meant to be didactical. What is about to unfold in front of you could be a villain's tale, some complex shade of tragedy, etc.
But to the main thrust of your ask, honestly… I too worry about this. The halo effect and lookism are well-documented phenomena (known and understood even in the period itself… I mean… why was short, stuttering, shy Baby Charles so invested in his iconography, but to depict himself as strong, masculine, handsome, and therefore virtuous and deserving to rule!!!) and also applies to media depictions of historical figures. It's totally a real thing that when a historical figure gets played by a popular actor, people will tend to be softer on that character, not even purely due to "beauty = goodness", but also because the pleasure of the visual spectacle inclines us to excuse what we're seeing. (Actually, even outside the appearance of the actors, people tend enormously to excuse the actions of a protagonist. It's just sort of an effect of the medium.)
That said, I believe the vast majority of people who say "I support George's rights and George's wrongs!" are just being silly and having fun and are perfectly capable of rationally judging what they're watching. You guys are great, please have a great time, tell your friends about the show so that more people learn about James VI and the Villiers family!!
But yeah, rarely there's… I don't go on Shitter but saw a screenshot of someone saying they hoped Somerset/Buckingham would be the main ship because Laurie Davidson is hotter and they don't want to watch an "ugly" (??) "old man fuck" and that just disheartened and disgusted me. You know, gayness doesn't exist to be hot and entertaining. Queer stories serve more purposes than fetish fuel for oglers. And this story is about real people who actually existed…
Also, I've got thoughts about people who think it's wrong and disgusting for James to have fallen in love with handsome George Villiers but also vociferously and openly thirst over Nicholas Galitzine and want to see him naked in queer roles. 😑
Anyway I'm happy to see these figures in almost any interpretation but I really hope George Villiers will be allowed to be magnificently terrible because… c'mon… it's George Villiers. The icon. The legend. The Duke of Buckingham himself. I feel like watering down his character would be cheating him of the glory he's due.

Reigning Expectations
Tumblr media
summary; you pick up mjolnir, that’s it, that’s the fic.
warnings; alcohol drinking, peer pressure, nat and tony being annoying
a/n: you fuck thor in the next part, but procrastination is my vice so we will see
part two!
Tumblr media
The avengers sat scattered across the illuminated living room of the tower, the night festivities strewn around the room. The lazy air clung to them as they sipped from thier filled glasses and laughed amongst each other.
Nights like these were rare, and were afforded only after one of Tony’s boisterous parties or charity events. Much of the night was filled with budding elbows with senators, politicians, and socialites, thier never ending questions and preening faces souring most of the teams mood whilst simultaneously fuelling the egos of Tony and Sam.
The high esteem and society that came with a Tony’s money wasn’t something the team particularly enjoyed divulging in, yet thier presence was expected by most of the party goers nevertheless, being the world saving mighty heroes and all.
Slowly, as more liquid was poured into glasses and the music fleeted across the luxurious apartment, the Avengers begun actually having a good time. Although they were forced to mingle amongst pretentious, spoilt trust fund adult children, and slightly dirty politicians, once they surrounded themselves with thier team members, and let the dirty brown pleasure and asgardian ale glide down thier throats and bodies, the nights apprehension was all but forgotten.
It was still annoying though.
As much as the alcohol has turned thier distaste to a semi-amusement towards the event, it quickly dissipated as Tony was brought forth to the large stage overhanging the floor of moving bodies and coaches.
Catching the attention of party goers, the billionaire glinted with a mischievous smirk that told the rest of the team enough. This would be a sobering following of events.
With one hand gripping a glass of bourbon, and another holding onto a microphone that seemed to appear out of nowhere, Tony begun thanking the many people for coming
“As you know, I’ve somewhat gone through a rebirth of sorts,
A snort from Bucky pulls heads to a swivel, eyes gliding over the brunette, before quickly moving back towards Tony after his pointed glare.
“Gone are the days of reckless youth, eganormous drinking and musty clubs that weren’t even that good. I’m sure you all know my golden days, and I’m sure I’ve made a point of ignoring and dismissing the duty I owe this country. With the esteem of my position, and the power granted to me, I shall appoint a gathering right in this tower to raise funds for the ongoing conflicts that have cornered our democracy, and damaged our beloved communities.”
Tony’s assistant, a tall stoic woman with auburn hair she’d slick back in a tight bun nodded throughly through his speech, mouthing along with him, rubbery red lips pulled back to reveal pearly whites as Tony performed the speech she wrote him.
Many of the avengers groaned out audibly, Steve grunting againts his tight lips and crossed arms, motioning to Thor for more alcohol.
No one was stupid, charity events planned by the rich and wealthy were never about giving back to the community or whatever hastily made up name wrapped over the correlated event. It was purely a morally acceptable way to flaunt your money, status, assets and power. The avengers knew it, and it burnt the goodness in Steve to no end.
The mass of people gathered tonight did too, their eyes sparkling and mouths practically frothing at the thought of showcasing thier hundreds, thousands, millions, as they raise thier paddled to buy begotten antiques and recovered jewellery.
“I trust that this event will be kept discreet, and tight lipped. Loose lips sink ships, or shall I say ruin a little fun?”
The crowds of people chuckle and laugh hearty, the sound bouncing off the walls and windows, mocking the Avengers as they boar holes into the chest of Tony stark.
“I seriously don’t want to have to barred anyway from coming, or blacklisting any of you because you couldn’t keep a tight lid” He laughed humoursly, there was a warning glint underneath his joyful tone, and it had many of the part goers nodding enthusiastically, afraid of a future without their unnecessary banquets, charity events and ridiculous parties.
As Tony rambled on about the precedings of the promised charity event, many of the avengers made their way down the steps and sat down around the centre of the tower, where a large coffee table was placed surrounded by sleek coaches and chairs. This was were they remained whilst the masses of people slowly filed out of the large doors of the building, getting into thier mercedes, Maseratis and bmws, cheeks warmed by the bottomless pit of alcohol and the nights atmosphere
Lounging in thier seats, the avengers finally relaxed once they were left amongst thier team members. This was your favourite part. The after. It took months of your unrelenting pressure for the team to atleast try and spend time with one another, that brought them to the pleasured nights they found supremely enjoyable after Tony’s events. Most of the time the team would be recounting stories of each other, reminiscing over memories and times before, whilst glasses of alcohol was passed.
They were relaxed, as much as they allowed themselves too of course, they were still avengers. And their calculating eyes were still constantly surveying and analysing their surroundings even whilst inebriated. Muscle memory, a habit ingrained into them from whatever lives they’d lived before.
“Oh come one, you’re telling me you haven’t thought about dragging these masses of muscles to bed and having your way with them?” Natasha smirked, head head tilted in question towards you.
The rest of the team stopped thier muffled talking, eyes turning towards you, awaiting your answer. Most of the team recognised you as the shy and dorky girl they loved too much, and as their eyes drifted down to your modest dress and brown flats, it was as clear as ever the truth that you just weren’t that girl. That confident, that secure in you’re sexuality and love and everything else that went into fucking gods.
That didn’t stop Tony and Natasha from teasing you though, relishing in the jittering replies you’d bark back, no signs of guilt at their torment.
“Uh, no, I mean, you all are, have impressive forms,” you nod hands awkwardly motioning towards Sam and Thor.
You were fumbling, and from the snickers coming from Nats wine lips, everyone could tell.
“That just isn’t my thing,” You replied back, glaring at the redhead. Pushing an elbow into her, whispering admonishment.
“Hm, I don’t know, I mean you’ve never brought anyone back to your room after our night outs, and as much as you are secretive, you don’t seem the type to have a secret family in some boring midwest town”
“No offence Hawkeye” Tony grinned towards Banner, the archer merely rolling his eyes at his snide remark.
But there’s something about you.. what is it, got some freaky deep web fetish that’s spooked away any suitors?” Tony kept up his unrelentless interrogation.
His eyes were wind with amusement, a shark like smirk creases his face, you grunted out in annoyance, you’d played your part, you’d shown face to a bunch of socialists and hedge fund babies, what more did Tony want from you? Must he always come back for more to his own twisted entertainment?
“Oh lay off it Stark, you always gotta make stuff wierd, ever thought maybe I just don’t want the entire world knowing? Much less billionaire ex play boy who would probably find out every single thing about them, down to to thier damn childhood pet” You gruffly relied, tired of Tony’s antics.
Tony runs to you in surprise, mouth widening at your exasperated expression,
“Ooh! Defensive, a clear sign of guilt, are you trying to deflect now?” Tony grinned, the high ceilings lights casting a warming glow across his features.
“Yeah, whatever” You rolled your eyes, knocking back the glass of macallan that stayed stationary in your hand.
Kissing your teeth, rubbing your thighs you don’t miss Steve and Bucky’s penetrating gaze, eyes following the slope of your neck, eyes brows quirked up as they took notice of your expression.
Bucky leaned into Steve, pressing into his shoulder as he whispered something into his ears, mouth pressed to the curve of Steve’s ear. Steve nodded momentarily, eyes gazing at you as Bucky seems to divulge Victoria’s fucking secret.
The sound of loud laughter pulls you back into the conversations amongst the rest of the team, you hadn’t realised how long you’d been checked out, ears prickling to following along.
“No no no, you all could never understand the honour and privilege of wielding this hammer” Thor tauter, his blonde hair tied up into a pony tail, blue eyes smiling.
“Yeah, it took you..how long again?, I’d pay good money to see you trip over yourself trying to hold that when you were what? 6 trillion years old?” Tony yawed, eliciting a fake boredom.
“Wasn’t it a hand me down anyways? Odin, then Hela, middle child problems let me tell you” Clint grinned from his position on the coach, which essentially was lying on his back with his legs intertwined with Natasha’s.
“You mortals think this is a joke, Mjolnir is an ancient gift passed down my lineage, most of you will not ever get close to something as mythical and historic as this weapon” Weilding the hammer above his head Thor points it towards Clint, eyes gleaming with mischief.
“If you think it’s so easy, why don’t you do it yourself?” The hammer lays even heavier as Thor points it towards Clint, the proposal rumbles laughter scattered around the room.
An uneasy look pases through Clint, teeth pulled into a line, but it leaves just as quick as it formed, and before you could blink he’s making his way across the coach towards the dining table.
Thor nods, and paces Mjolnir on the table, it makes a loud thunk as it hits glass, and Clint seizes his hand, flexing the muscle as he tries to lift the heaviest thing on earth.
A silence covers the floor, the avengers looking on as the prospect of a Clint taking the position of the reigning king over Asgard blossoms.
Clint mutters to himself, trying to fiend confidence and in one, two, three, he pulls.
The gruff clank of Clint’s body gripping and dragging the hilt, feet planted and shoulders hunched as he meanversous his body to direct all his strength to his biceps and arms.
Clint face remains determined, eyebrows scrunched as he scrutinised the metal, indignation firing through his blues despite the sheen of sweat that begins to form on his face.
Grunts pass through his lips as he begins to strain from amounting so much energy, and after a few moments of helpless tugging and pulling, he gives up, shrugging his shoulders and muttering his dislike of Asgard through bated breaths.
You’ve got to give it to him, no amount of convincing would make you even try that.
The rest of the avengers tried their hands at lifting mjolnir, Tony even going as far as using his detachable hand to muster amount enough strength to move the hammer.
And for a moment, a second of monetarily relief, you think you’ve best the avengers, escaped thier unnecessary need to embarrass the people they love. It was foolish really, and it only took meeting Nats eyes for a mere second before your name was being changed like enchanted gospel.
You’re being pushed by soft hands to raise on your feet, you let out an audible grumble that leaves scattered laughter, you down the last of of your liquor, it glides down your throat like silk but who are you kidding, your nerves are still leaving jittered marks across your body.
Rolling your shoulder back, your crack your knuckles, popping the air between the bones, you flex your muscles comically, and the team whops and whistles to your antics. Maybe they’re too far gone to care, maybe they won’t even notice, I’ll just pretend I cant pick it up, yep that’s what I’ll do.
You wrap and arm around mjolnir, it fits like a glove, it shakes with an energy only you and Thor can sense as it welcomes an old friend. Thor raises from his hunched position, eyes piercing into your hand, melting the meat and fat until it’s just bones.
You try, with all your might to not give an inch of strength to the hammer, you flex your arms until they’re slack enough, relief fills you as the hammer doesn’t budge, the avengers begin to heckle and all is well.
The loud clattering of a bottle seizes your arm, it flexes the muscles of your wrist and you curse to yourself as you clench your eyes, knowing third eyes are on you, knowing he’s the one who had provoked you.
And you before you know, right infront of them all.
The hammer raises in the air, your tight grip wrapped around its hilt.
You pick it up.
Fuck.

open discord rp call: marvel edition
Hola 👋🏼
if you understand the title, please keep reading. if not, this is probably not for you!
Our 18+ server isn’t big, which minimizes the chances of being overwhelmed and stressed out!
Keep reading for all the awesome details ✨
Plot:
As of this moment (27.7.23) the plot hasn’t been decided, but this is where it gets fun. We’ll keep it loosely based on the events of the MCU from 2012 onwards. That does not mean we’re going to stick to every single event that happens from that point forward. What does this mean? It means you can have your character be present during an event they were never a part of. Example:
- Marc Spector! joining The Avengers in the Battle of New York!
- Bucky Barnes meeting The Avengers before Civil War!
- Loki assisting The Avengers defeat Ultron!
And much more cool stuff like this. The sky’s the limit.
Characters
Ideally we want to have the OG6 be present before starting the role play. Taken characters have been crossed out:
Tony Stark
Steve Rogers
Thor
Bruce Banner
Clint Barton
Natasha Romanoff
What about if you play literally any other character? Fear not! You can definitely join. We want you to join!
Ideally, we don’t want super overpowered characters because it’s going to make it not fun. We’re huge huge fans of the NMCU and the Brooklyn area (Hawkeye/Moon Knight etc) so if you play someone from there, that’s amazing.
Note: we don’t knock down rare pairs or rare friends. Some of our rare pairs are crazy, you wouldn’t see them anywhere else. You will never be judged no matter who you ship (provided they’re of age and it’s consensual)
tl;dr whoever you play, please bring them over
What else do we offer?
In-character GC! Because there’s nothing like banter between characters. It’s so fun
Some other stuff
We encourage you to be a nerd! What the heck does this mean?
Share your character headcanons with us. Share headcanons about other characters with their admin. As long as you’re respectful of everyone’s take on their characters and don’t judge the headcanons themselves, nothing is more fun than sharing your own takes
The rakes can be deep and well thought-out or they can be cracky. You’ll probably find things like:
Sometimes the color blue triggers Clint’s fight or flight response now or Natasha Romanoff is an avid fan of Megan Thee Stallion.
We also strongly encourage you to discuss the relationship of your character to others. I.e. how much have they been present in each other’s lives? Since we don’t stick to a certain timeline, have they crossed paths with each other when it’s not canon? These discussions build a richer in-character interacting experience. Do your characters have inside jokes? Have they been on a mission before that ended HorrificallyTM?
Shit like that✨
Availability
People have lives. It’s best to set some time to noting down when you might be free on a day you’re roleplaying but only with your rp partner. Talk to them, establish if they even want an update on whether or not you’ll be available. Just understand that writing and rp is something we do to unwind and have fun; it’s a hobby not a chore.
How to Join?
To avoid cluttering the server, all you have to do is DM me here or on discord: char#1415 with the following:
Your character request
A writing sample of you writing this character
We’re currently not accepting OCs.
That’s literally it okbye🌝
You really made it this far? I hope you have a good day today.

Fighting Leads To Fxxking
Masterlist
Chapter Three - He's Not Exactly Human
Ship - Loki x Stark! Reader
Word Count - 1,015
Tw - Angst, Mentions of an Abortion
Plot - Stark! Reader get stuck watching Loki after the events of 2012. Moments of weakness and bad decisions involving the world's most hated man lead to the worst possible outcome, pregnancy.
Tumblr media
It was official. You were pregnant, the six different tests you took confirmed it. Nat just held you as you cried softly. How were you supposed to tell your father that you were intimate with a convicted murderer? Now, that's a head scratcher. How were you supposed to have a child when not only their father is in prison, but he's on another planet?
"It'll be okay. I can take you to the clinic if you want. Only if you want to and you've thought this through. If you want to keep it, we can figure something out. At least it's with Thor, he's a good guy, Y/N." She gave you a hug as you sigh, wondering how much longer you can keep this charade going.
~
Over the past two weeks Nat has been helping you hide your secret and make sure you're taking care of yourself. She wants you to talk to a doctor, though. You agreed to see someone, but Tony can't know, meaning you couldn't use your insurance. Hence why she brought Bruce over to your apartment in the tower.
"So, what's going on?" He asked, looking back and forth between you and Natasha.
"Well, we have a situation that really needs a doctor.” Natasha explains, being as vague as humanly possible.
“I do actually need some sort of information to go off of here, guys.” He looks confused and you can’t blame him. You decide to just rip the bandaid off.
“I’m pregnant.”
“Oh. Uh, does Tony know?” He asks after a moment of silence for processing, looking at you with his soft eyes and kind expression.
“Not yet, she’s still trying to figure out this whole situation. We don’t really know what to do because of the father. I don’t even know if she can get an abortion or what with all the factors.” Nat leans the conversation towards you, hoping you can tell Bruce about the father.
“What does that mean, Y/N? I’m not really following, which is a rare occurrence.” He always finds a way to bring up his PHDs.
“He’s not exactly human.” You spit out, looking at the floor, not daring to make eye contact with either of them.
“Oh, well, I guess that’s why you’re looking to me for help. Not exactly human here myself.” He says, lightheartedly.
Soon, you were in a medical office and Bruce had a wand to your stomach, giving you an ultrasound. Natasha was sitting in the corner of the room, her hands on her face, trying to prepare herself for any possible result.
“Oh.” Bruce let’s his expression slip through his lips. He hasn’t really asked any prying questions, other than how far along you were. He was avoiding anything about the father, as if he already knew who he was. Or maybe, he could just sense the tension in the room over the father.
“‘Oh?’ What does that mean, Bruce?” Nat asks for the both of you.
“The fetus is triple the expected size. You might want to act soon if you’re not intending on keeping it.”
“Do I really have an option at this point?”
“I don’t really know, kid. This isn’t like anything I’ve seen before. There are so many factors I have to analyze first. Do you mind if I take a tissue sample for testing?”
“No! No samples!” You yell, surprising the two of them. You couldn’t risk them finding out that this wasn’t Thor’s kid, it was Loki’s. Sure, Odin cast a spell that made Loki appear Asgardian, but there isn’t anything put on his kids, right? Maybe things would be okay and the kid would come out all Asgardian-looking. Unless they had blue skin. Fuck, what if they had blue skin? What if the tissue sample is blue? Is that possible?
“Hey, kiddo. Come back to me.” Bruce waves his hand in your face, snapping you out of your overthinking trance.
“We’re going to give you some alone time. I’ll be back in five minutes, okay?” Nat exclaims, pulling Bruce with her into the hallway.
You were alone. You needed this. You needed to think and to compile all the pros and cons and every little factor.
“Hello, little Stark.” You look up and he’s there. He’s standing right in front of you.
“What are you doing? How are you here?” You question him, yelling.
“It’s an illusion, darling. I had to make sure you were doing alright, carrying a frost giant and all.”
“You knew?”
“Of course. No mortal pill can stop the power of a god.”
“Was this on purpose, Loki?” You start to get defensive.
“No, of course not. I’m not an actual monster. There was only a ten percent chance it would survive anyways, I figured it was worth it.”
“You knew there was a chance and you still slept with me?”
“Oh, my dear, there’s no better act of rebellion than sleeping with the enemy.” He smirked and you began to frown, anger rising through you.
“You did this to get back at my dad?”
“No, it was simply put, a lovely side effect. A very pleasurable, lovely side effect.” You’re shaking your head, frustrated with the situation you’ve found yourself in.
There’s a knock on the door and before you knew it, he was gone without any explanation.
"Are you okay?" Nat asked, sitting with you on the table as Bruce took the scans into his laboratory room.
"I think so. I just needed to ground myself. I don't know if I'll keep it right now."
"You don't have to. You just need to think about it, okay? I called Thor and he's coming back here as soon as he can. I didn't tell him you were pregnant, just that there was an emergency we needed him for. It will be alright, kid. He can help you decide, but don't forget that it's your choice." She squeezed you tightly into an awkward side hug. You were internally freaking out over the idea of Thor coming to Earth soon. What would you even say?
hope u liked! next two chapters go from wholesome to heart wrenching so stay tuned (might be released at the same time 👀) don't choke my little guttersluts - kat.

Fairness of Lego Distribution
Marvel Rare Pair Bingo Round 2 | 📪 @marvelrarepairbingo | Crime/Mob AU
All Caps Bingo Round 1 | 🤷 @allcapsbingo | Washington D.C.
Stony AUinverse Round 1 | 😝 @stonyauniverse | Surprise Facetime
2023 masterlist :: (ao3 link)
RATING: Teen WARNING: Mob Boss AU, Tony Stark can be mean, Sam Wilson doesn't care, Peter Parker is adorable, "LANGUAGE!"
Nobody knows why there is a shipment coming from Washington DC or what it includes. They just know Tony didn't make it, and Tony doesn't love when people do things without telling him. | Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
rpb 📪 round 2 | acb 🤷 round 1 | saub 😝 round 1
Tumblr media
“Why the fuck would we be agreeing on shipment from Washington DC?” Tony asks in frustration across the room, sitting at a large table with those he trusts sitting around him. People who definitely shouldn’t have let this large of a shipment go underneath the radar until now. Sometimes it felt like Tony needed to do all the work between them. 
While everyone else looks around to weather scared of the outcome if they don’t find out, Sam Wilson plays with the gun on his waistband, unfazed. “Steve brought them, thought you knew about it,” he shrugs and as Steve’s best friend it is times like this that Tony is regretful to let him into the inner circle, “I think he mentioned about it being for Peter.” 
That is not as shocking as one might expect for it to be in a mob boss’ home. Peter had quickly taken over the home once moving in and Tony wouldn’t have it any other way. He loved Steve and he loved Peter even more because Peter was half of Steve with even chubbier cheeks and more quick wit than the adults knew what to do with. 
His brain was also incredible and Tony was proud that he could be trusted to nourish it. 
Tony bites his lip not sure how to respond. He was never good at holding his tongue, “what the hell is in that shipment?” Because he expects and hopes that it is not what their normal shipments consist of, drugs and weapons. 
Clint flips through pages and pages of shipping information and location details looking for details disclosing what is in the container stuck in Washington DC. If it is for Peter it could be anything. In the first few months (the first year even) of Peter and Steve living with Tony Steve didn’t feel comfortable spending the ludicrous amounts of money Tony had, but that has slowly changed in the last six months with Peter starting school. Some may blame Tony for always spoiling the younger boy (and Steve) which eventually would rub off on his partner. 
“I think it’s Lego?” Clint finally comes to the conclusion which makes Tony sigh. Lego is huge in their household, Peter, as most six-year-olds are, is obsessed and Tony is happy to indulge and help him build the large sets that his money can afford. It gives them bonding time in the lab which doesn’t give Steve a heart attack thinking the environment is unsafe. 
It isn’t like Tony to just shrug off a large shipment, but for this, it seemed okay. 
Sam rolls his eyes, “we are just letting one of our trucks ship 200 pounds of Lego from Washinton DC to Manhattan because Steve okayed it?” This is the reason that Tony lets Sam sit on the board because he sees through the bullshit that Tony often doesn’t when it comes to his partner. 
Holding his hand up Tony takes to his phone, quieting everybody in the room. The phone displays a Facetime screen, ringing until the person on the other side picks up. 
“Hey babe, is everything okay?” Tony smiles at just the voice of his partner. Steve displayed on the screen doesn’t seem to be bothered by the interference with his sunbathing time if his background of the mansions pool and sun chair is anything to notice. “Yeah everything is fine, I am just wondering what Lego is in the shipment from Washington? Something we can’t get here?” Tony asks with no malicious intent and it makes Sam think that they should let him speak to Steve more often in meetings if this is the reaction. 
Steve on the screen tilts his head from side to side, “I was talking to Natasha and she said that the white house used to get exclusive US Lego, which I thought was unfair, so I asked, politely. They agreed to send some for Peter, said he was so adorable the last time he was there, he deserves an award.” The proud look on both Steve's and Tony’s faces is alike in different ways, Steve is for Peter, and Tony’s is for Steve. 
It is just like Steve to think of the fairness in the world, even when it just comes to Lego distribution. 
Tony pausing gives Steve time to keep adding to his story and reasoning, “And I thought any of the spare Lego because I am sure there will be double ups with how much you buy him, we could donate them,” Tony, while offended, is also extremely proud, “or sell them off at an auction dinner if you think that’s a better idea.” Steve is right, there probably will be multiples of sets and there may be sets that Peter might not want, considering them too easy, and both ideas are great ones. It really shows that Steve is fitting more and more into their world. 
This life is much better with Steve, and Peter, in it. Tony smiles politely talking to the phone again, “I have to go, but we should definitely discuss your ideas later, maybe over a nice dinner.” The smile on Steve’s face is bright enough to light the entire room and maybe the one over as well, “love you, babe,” he responds to Tony mimicking the phrase before hanging up the call. 
The atmosphere shifts and Tony’s smile fades and becomes the stern look that he leads with. 
“What’s next,” he asks waiting for a quick response. Sam thinks to himself that they need Steve more often in these meetings because whoever is going next is not going to get the same type of treatment that Clint just got for his update. 
But he will just sit and wait knowing he’s okay, smiling even. 
“Why the fuck did you think talking to, fucking Hammer was a good idea!”
Yeah, he can just sit back and watch.

Outsider POV Masterlist 3
part 1, part 2
A Nice Young Man (ao3) - BuckyWithTheGoodHair86 G, 5k
Summary: Bucky is on the run after the events of CA:WS, trying to keep a low profile and stay out of the way. He ends up in Bucharest, in a run-down apartment building where people leave him alone. Except for the old lady upstairs. She keeps being nice to him and feeding him and stuff, and he's not sure what to do with that. The story of a reluctant friendship.
As Heard (ao3) - bran4ever clint/phil T, 6k
Summary: 5+1 perspectives on Phil and Clint's relationship where they are (almost) never in scene together.
cables and tightropes (ao3) - eryamn G, 3k
Summary: Flash doesn’t know exactly when he decided Peter Parker was his worst enemy.
It’s just—look, here’s this kid who’s an actual orphan and yet he’s still more loved than Flash is. It’s wrong, Flash knows, to hurt him like this. But how is he supposed to respond, except with violence?
Like father, like son.
Carrots in moderation (ao3) - Bergen G, 7k
Summary: Betty only needs one visit of Tony Stark to their high school to confirm what she had long suspected. One: Peter Parker has terrible luck. Two: Flash is an ass. Three: So is Tony Stark.
From The Ashes (ao3) - JAWorley pepper/tony T, 25k
Summary: Midtown Tech burns down during the second week of school. Faced with all of the students having to transfer to other schools for the rest of the year, including Peter, Tony decides to offer the first three floors of Stark Tower (which are mostly empty because they were being renovated) to Midtown. That way his kid won’t have to transfer schools and lose his friends.
OR
Mr. Morita asks Tony why he’s doing this, and Tony says it’s for his kid, but doesn’t specify who that is. A fun fic with mostly outsider POV’s and some angst. Does this count as a Peter’s Field Trip To Stark Industries story? I don’t know. Is it outlandish? Absolutely.
Good Neighbors (ao3) - Miladydragon clint/phil T, 4k
Summary: To the townsfolk of Clarksville, Ohio, they were Clint and Phil, their neighbors. They didn't care a single whit that they were both retired superheroes. And they always looked after their own.
home for wayward (genius) youths (ao3) - ikarakie G, 1k
Summary: there is a kid on tony's couch. it is not peter, and rhodey is having a breakdown.
loose lips sink ships (ao3) - sweetpotatoTM steve/bucky T, 2k
Summary:
Because there they were, Cap and Bucky.
Kissing. In the forest.
_____
Gabe Jones is just trying to fight in a war, but somehow he ends up finding out Steve and Bucky's biggest secret and taking it upon himself to keep it from getting out. And when that (inevitably) fails, defending them to any of the Howling Commandos who even look at them funny.
Can be read as a standalone, but there is another story in this series!
love in hidden places (ao3) - bloodyhalefire steve/bucky T, 5k
Summary: Six people who keep Steve and Bucky’s secret and the one time it isn’t a secret at all.
Moving On (ao3) - nununununu sam/bucky G, 1k
Summary: Humans and human-like creatures often make many mistakes.
One such mistake is their assumption that she’s the type of creature they call a cat. She supposes she understands. She’s taken on the form of a cat for the time being and they rarely see beyond external form.
--
Trusting her kittens with these humans, though? This isn't a mistake on any of their parts.
Precious Cargo (ao3) - inkinmyheartandonthepage G, 2k
Summary: The International Conference on Research in Science and Technology was one of the biggest clients that Conquer Security had on their books. They were the security for the conference every year and it was their biggest account so naturally the event had to run smoothly.
Spoiler alert - it doesn't.
OR
A security guard forgets who Peter Stark is and nearly causes an incident.
secret keeper (ao3) - jilliancares peter/wade G, 7k
Summary: Ellie stares at the new arrival, gaping. All the evidence points to one obvious answer, but this guy looks nothing like the Spider-Man Ellie recognizes — mostly because he isn’t wearing the suit.
“Crappy day to get kidnapped, amirite?” he says, crouching next to Ellie and deftly untying her restraints. “Looks like these guys were amateurs, though. They didn’t even lock the windows.”
In which Ellie accidentally becomes the one person who knows Spider-Man's identity. She doesn't tell her dad.
Seven AM in the Snack Aisle (ao3) - Singing_Siren T, 2k
Summary: Look, it's only a matter of time until they let something slip, Peter knows this, but he really didn't expect it to go this way. Who knew that staying awake for three days straight before going on a snack run isn't a good idea for secret identities and/or secret kids? ("I'm not Mr. Stark's kid! Seriously, Abe, why would you think that? It's not like he pays for me, clothes me, feeds me, helps me through nightmares… Oh. Huh.")
Or: two sleep-deprived geniuses get hungry and make bad decisions

Summary: Bartending lets Selene meet a lot of strange characters. But the accented man in the long coat, who's constantly complaining about how his roommates are obliviously in love with each other? He just might be the strangest.
(For the prompt: "Sam/Bucky getting together, but told through increasingly exasperated exchanges between Zemo, who is trying to get them to see they’re perfect for each other, and the poor hapless bartender of the hole-in-a-wall bar down the street who is just growing used to the weird rich European who drinks their “top-shelf” bourbon while mostly one-sidedly bitching about his roommates/coworkers/parole officers.")

Summary: It’s not a well-kept secret that Spider-Man is a homewrecker.

Summary: A certain HYDRA agent's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day courtesy the Winter Soldier and his boyfriend.
The Great Protector (ao3) - SpaceCowboysFromMars T, 3k
Summary: The kid gets a little pale, pressing his lips together and looking down to his lap. He shrugs after a moment, smiling a little. “I’m Mr. Stark’s intern. That’s the only reason why.”
“I just didn’t think he’d hire high school kids for internships.”
“It was through the September Foundation. He liked my application.”
-
Or, David has been working on the security team of Stark Industries for four years when he gets the call one morning that he's needed to replace Happy Hogan in the very strange, mundane task of picking up a teenage boy from school in Queens. Things get really off-track when David and said teenage boy are kidnapped, but it's fine. Everything is fine. David's job depends on everything, especially the unknown kid, being perfectly okay by the end of this.
The Stark Kid (ao3) - Foxi220 T, 11k
Summary: There were many theories about his identity (some more ridiculous than others) but the fact was, none of the SI workers actually knew which one was true. And that’s why they all settled on calling him The Kid.
It’s not like he was really secretive or didn’t talk to anybody. It was quite the opposite actually. He was very talkative and his mouth seemed to never shut up. But he just rarely was in one place long enough to have a longer, meaningful conversation about his identity with anybody. Or he talked so much that nobody had an occasion to ask him any questions.
So he stayed a secret to everyone working in the tower. Until, one day, to everyone’s surprise, he came to SI with a field trip from Midtown High.

welcome to the worst ships tumblr poll!
I was inspired to make this blog based on seeing this post [tumblr post link], and looking it up to see if a blog like this already existed. (one does, but I didn’t like the submission rules there so I wanted to make my own) and I thought the carnage such a poll would create would be fun, so here we are.
I’m opening submissions now for ships to add to the bracket. submit them here: [google forms link]
submission guidelines:
you can submit up to 3 ships. that means you can submit less, but cannot submit more. if you submit more, I reserve the right to either toss your submission or choose which of your recommended ships I prefer to count.
please use the full names of the characters being shipped inbetween slashes or an “x” instead of the fandom-coined ship name and character nicknames. ex: “Tony/Loki” instead of “Ironfrost,” “Kylo Ren x Rey” instead of “reylo,” and “Dean Winchester x Castiel” instead of “Dean/Cas.” I know some characters have multiple names, but this is so I can know who is who if I’m not in a fandom, so use your judgement. if ships submitted don’t follow this guideline, your submission might get tossed because I don’t want to spend my time deliberating over which characters or ship you really meant, or recounting submissions because some people’s submissions were vague.
include the relevant fandom name/s the ship is from--no acronyms unless it's something very obvious like the MCU. just imagine you are explaining the ship to someone who has never heard of your ship, the characters, or the fandom, because you might be. acceptable examples: "Tony Stark/Loki Laufeyson | MCU", "kylo ren/rey from star wars", "Dean Winchester x Castiel supernatural."
ships can be from any fandom (movies, books, bands, myth, anything hate-worthy), any popularity (mostly), and any gender (M/M, F/F, M/F).
this poll is purely to cause drama because I’m bored and it’s funny and because I think it’s time someone made this poll on tumblr, the wild discourse site. your submissions do not have to be a top tier controversial ship, but it should ideally not be a niche ship from somebody’s podcast with 100 views on Spotify that has 2 fics on ao3. I reserve the right to ignore a submission from something that I or most poll-takers have never heard of.
similarly, I accept submissions for genuinely bad ships on all axises, but please don’t go out of your way to find the worst ship in your fandom that you rarely see and is really disgusting and even most ppl with bad ship takes in your fandom don’t ship. no one wants to see that. this poll is for fun.
as long as the ship is horrible and/or annoying and/or gets enough submissions, it’s good, basically.
feel free to tell me in the submission as well why you think the ship deserves to win. I will not be posting reasonings on the poll themselves, but I’d love to see the hate.
and most importantly: submit ships you really, genuinely hate to see! ships that are horrible in your fandom, ships you can’t escape on ao3 or in tags, ships that just really fucking annoy you, ships that caused a site-wide ship war in 2013 or something! go wild.
submissions will be open for 1 week: from today (Sunday, April 16th) to April 22nd. happy hating :)

Okay, so not to be the ship police lol, but seeing folks start to ship Monica & Carol gets nothing but a bombastic side eye from me… absolutely not lol.
Look, I’m a just say it, though it didn’t really bother me at the time, and though I enjoy CM1 for what it was, and have defended it more than once (and will continue to do so), in hindsight I’m not a fan of the choices TPTB made with the introduction of Monica. After multiple discussions with my buddy, after seeing the way (some of) the fandom treats/reacts to adult Monica, I wish that they’d never brought her into the MCU as a child. I wish they’d never had her calling someone that should’ve been her peer Auntie. I wish that entire relationship dynamic didn’t exist. Fandom calling Carol her mom now leaves a bad taste in my mouth, when I used to think it was kinda funny.
And look, I’ve read fics where Maria/Carol are the background/side couple and it’s cute and I liked them - it totally worked. However, it kind of irritates my soul that people act like this character, who by all accounts should be her peer/co-worker, is her mother in canon and not fanon, and they are dead serious. That’s why people are mad about the ship online - not because of the age gap, or because Carol knew her when she was a kid, or anything else, but because they really seem to consider Carol to be as equal a parent to her as Maria. They really really do. And like, I’m gonna need some proof of that lol, because even in the movie she calls her Aunite not mom. It’s just not a good look, like it has negative connotations to me or something lol.
You know what, it’s like when people act like Steve was Sam’s kindly benefactor who plucked him from obscurity to work with him and taught him everything he knows. (It’s more rare maybe but I have seen people do that, especially people who just cannot seem to be able to admit that Sam was Steve’s partner and friend.) Well, no, Steve was his co-worker and buddy, they weren’t in the Big Brother Program. He didn’t teach Sam everything he knows - not in the MCU or the comics. Let’s not rewrite their relationship because you want to call Steve his mentor, because I wouldn’t even say that was accurate. Like don’t make this weird. Okay I’m rambling now lol, and I might delete this because it’s hard to exactly express what about this annoys me so much, but people are… weird about Monica (and Sam) and their connections (real or imagined) to these other heroes, and I don’t care for it.
Also, not for nothin’ but what is with the MCU fandom and trying to give people who already have parents or even parental figures, new parents. Like with Peter. Aunt May was right there. Not invisible, but very active in his life, but to hear everyone tell it Tony was his father figure? Ummm no he wasn’t 🙃
I don’t know, maybe when/if they explain why Monica & Carol fell out in the new movie, it will change my mind about the introducing her as a kid thing, but I can’t imagine how…
here @six2vii if you want to wade through my long winded rambling to my point that probably could’ve been summed up in 2 sentences 😂

4, 9, 18, 38 for your mcu ask game! ILY❤️
HI THANK YOU ILY TOO MWAH MWAH <3
4. NOTP (Least favorite ship)
I have a couple answers to this that I can be normal about hating…but I fear the facade of me being not absolute bonkers coo coo crazy has long faded. So I will answer this with truth.
If I could mentally eradicate the existence of WinterIron from the minds of every single person who has contributed to its success…I’d wallow in the ethics of that for about 5 minutes and then immediately do it #mindwipingiscoolactually #giveMEthemindstone. I truly, truly, despise that ship with everything in me. And this isn’t a secret! Anyone who has ever spoken to me knows I hate this ship. Just the mere sight of it makes me sick to my stomach oh my goodness. Everyone knows to the point where I'll get disclaimers about any hint of winteriron in fic recs (also i love you guys who do this y'all are so REAL). And it’s not even for, like, morals reasons. I just hate it so much because of how I’ve seen it portrayed. I wish I could say the ship not making sense is the reason I hate it most, but it isn’t! Even though I firmly believe it makes no sense. That’s not anywhere near my main problem with it because I have plenty of ships that don’t make sense (Never ask user cloudbells what her current favorite ultra-sparkly rare pair is [the two characters aren't in the same fandom or even sister fandoms]). 
I hate it for petty reasons. And I hate that it’s so popular. Why is it one of the most popular ships?! Why do people like them? Well, I know why people like them, but I wish I could live my entire life with never seeing it ever again. Every time I’ve ever saw it, it involves some weird ass Steve characterization. But also, I just hate the idea of taking Steve’s top ships and making them in love with each other and then all the weird hateful undertones when it comes to Steve? Plus, in no way are Tony and Bucky ever getting together. I can’t even stand them as besties if we’re gonna get real lmao. I can handle them becoming friendly…maybe friends eventually, but anything further than that and I need Ativan or something to chill out. Omg, I can’t think about this anymore, someone get the straightjacket. I’ll admit myself to residential. But I do always love the chance to talk about things I don’t like. 
9. Favorite fight scene
Gotta say I’m a sucker for the scenes in CATWS where Steve fights Bucky. I love them so much. I love how you can clearly see the way his body twists, the way his muscles tense and release, the way his strikes flow - how sharp his jumping, punching and kicking are. UGH. It does everything for me. I loooooove Steve’s fighting choreography. He fights so clean…at least to me, someone who isn’t a trained fighter. Hm, well, maybe with this in mind, I should say I love the elevator fight. Or Hell - Natasha’s fight scenes. Side note that has nothing to do with the MCU: this just reinforced how much I love hand to hand. I remember when I watched Naruto and used to complain constantly over the lack of good taijutsu fights. I like seeing contact!!
18. Things you'd do if you're one of the MCU writers
Erm…SteveTony canon? Just kidding. But I wouldn’t say no to adding more undertones.
In all honesty, if we’re not talking about re-writes…I would absolutely give more weight to the Clint and Natasha relationship. I just mentioned this to someone, but I would do anything for a movie or mini-series or something just to see the moment where Natasha came to kill Clint and he instead decided to take her in, convince Fury to help, assisted with deprogramming her, ect. I’d love it. Seeing Natasha learn to trust again, seeing Clint struggle and being active in her healing. Natasha coping with everything she’s done, ect. Their bond forming…I need it. If any has any fic recs…
If we’re talking about Steve specifically, I would single-handedly force everyone to keep his deleted scenes and find somewhere to put them. I just wish we had more context on Steve himself. Like, I don’t need to see him having a self vs self angst we see with many other characters, because he’s not the type that needs that - but his external circumstances are fucking shitty and I’d love to see those explored more. I’d rewrite CACW to be more blatant on Steve’s motivations. I mean Hell, they were pretty damn clear to me, but apparently I can’t use myself as the leading authority on things like this (boooooo) and since it’s a CAPTAIN AMERICA movie, it should center around him. I shouldn’t have to defend Steve from the fandom concerning his own damn movie. 
I have some more thoughts but this post is getting long omg, I might not have enough space.
38. Favorite and least favorite villain
Favorite? I really like the potential Kang has (though he wasn’t really…great to me in Ant Man tbh). But anyways, my favorites are Alexander Pierce and Killmonger. I’ve mentioned why I like Pierce as a villain before, but it boils down to how calmly and near seamlessly he executed his power. I’ve always loved a villain that is so outwardly calm and calculated and manages to manipulate even the most suspicious of people, precisely because from his view, his goals aren’t very different from some heroes’. And because he believes in his evil so deeply, it makes him more patient and determined to carry forward. I like that. Chills!
My like for Killmonger is more…it’s a little removed from the MCU verse. I’m a black American, so I really understood where his anger and sense of betrayal came from. I mean, we're also from the same exact city. And I grew up with all typa diaspora wars between black people and African people that felt reflected in the movie…it all just really connected with me. He’s still the villain no doubt for how he went about it, but I truly, truly got his resentment. His emotions and motivations make sense! And I love a character that makes sense. 
Least favorite? The Howard guy in WandaVision. Ouuuuu, put me and him in a room for 2 minutes and he’ll be handled, permanently! I don’t even think he’s a badly written character because he (unfortunately) makes sense. But oh my goodness, I hate him so much. Now, least favorite as in boring or bad? Ultron, in my opinion. He could have been so much cooler, much more formidable, much more terrifying…but if they really dived into it, Ultron’s reign wouldn’t have started and ended in just one movie. But damn, was he disappointing.
Oh! If Namor counts as a villain (he does) I really like him. And NOT just because he's sexy and I have had a period of time where I had a very guilty and shameful crush on him.
Thank you for the ask!! <3

Rules: Post 10 of your favourite movies and tag 10 people! Thanks @glamorouspixels for the tag. I’ve actually been thinking about this of late because I’ve listening to Brett Goldstein’s podcast Films To Be Buried With. These are in the order I watched them:
1. Lord of the Rings
My favourite films of all time, based on my favourite book of all time. Also I consider them to be one very long 11.5h movie (yes, I refer to the extended editions).
2. Chicago
One of the first movie musical adaptations I ever saw, which left an indelible impression on me. To this day I could probably describe the Cell Block Tango scene shot by shot. Catherine Zeta-Jones! 
3. Once Upon A Time In Mexico
This bonkers finale to Robert Rodriguez’s El Mariachi trilogy has everything. It has Antonio Banderas as a brooding guitar-playing hitman. It has peak Johnny Depp in the era when it was not weird to have a Johnny Depp phase. It has Salma Hayek looking absolutely smoking. It has Enrique Iglesias, whose guitar has a flamethrower. It has Danny Trejo! Willem Dafoe! Eva Mendes! Mickey Rourke! all playing these absolutely unhinged roles. I adore it. 
4. Sin City
So there are two Rodriguez films on this list, but I don’t think I could do without either. Sin City is perhaps one of the best graphic novel screen adaptations of all time. I was obsessed with this film from quite possibly too young an age, especially with Rosario Dawson as a dominatrix with a machine gun. It’s utter pulp and I’m not sorry.
5. Brick
I maintain this high-school neo-noir with baby Joseph Gordon-Levitt is still Rian Johnson’s best film, and this is despite the fact it was so low-budget they had to fake a transition by pulling a garbage bag over the camera and then playing it in reverse. It also contains a scene with a chicken jug that will live in my heart forever.
6. Singing’ in the Rain
Do they make them like this any more? They do not. I can’t begin to pick what I love most about this - the hysterically funny script, the OT3 vibes, the fact that nearly every musical number is a colossal achievement of its own (Donald O’Connor running up the walls in Make ‘Em Laugh! The tap-dancing in Moses Supposes! Cyd Charisse in that green dress in Broadway Melody!) or even just the comic genius of Jean Hagen, which could sustain an entire film on its own.
7. Inception
This film managed somehow to be both a cinematic masterpiece and fandom catnip, which is rare. As an architecture/urbanism geek who also loves heists and devastatingly competent men in suits, I feel like this film was made for me. Also, Arthur/Eames! One of my all-time ships. 
8. 28 Days Later
Best second-generation zombie film, for my money - both stunningly shot and horrifying. The way the final mansion massacre is filmed while John Murphy’s soundtrack builds on that eerie four-note crescendo - chills. Also, young Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris! really the most beautiful zombie film ever. 
9. The Maltese Falcon
I dithered over whether to put this or The Big Sleep in the bracket of “classic book-to-film noir adaptation starring Humphrey Bogart” - I love them both equally - but went with this because it is, marginally, the better film (and the better book - Raymond Chandler could write the hell out of a novel but he could not tie up his plots). It also has the fantastic villain duo of Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet, as well as a young Elisha Cook Jr as the gunsel who gets played for a sap. That ending! “If they hang you, I’ll always remember you.” 
10. In the Mood for Love
This is, hands-down, the greatest film on this list. Definitely one of the greatest films ever made. Every single shot is a work of art. That iconic scene of Maggie Cheung buying noodles in a dark high-collared cheongsam, walking down a smoky alleyway swinging her tingkat to the strains of the plaintive violin of Shigeru Umebayashi’s theme, brushing past Tony Leung in his steam-rumpled suit - it gives me shivers. I’ll never be over the ending of this film. I’ll also never be normal about buying noodles.
So I’m not going to tag 10 people because I’m too tired but like talk about your favourite movies if you want to!

Andrew Burnap is 33 now-31 during the filming, even older than T so we don't if the age difference is going to affect the dynamic. Also, since this is remake and due the "girl-bossing feminist approach" everyone seemed to be mad about we don't know how strong or prominent the romantic love arc is going to be
R was close to other two co-stars in SW, they went to Morocco for a couple of days. Andrew gives me brotherly vibes, R defended him on Twitter once tho and he's very well known in the theater community and is a tony award winner so I could see why R admires him. I think they're good friends but I highly doubt they have crazy electric chemistry like she had with T, that's once in a life time kinda thing me thinks lmao
If I'm correct he's openly queer (he identifies as sexually-fluid) and while R is pan she's currently for the most part perceived as a straight woman so shipping it's going to be off the table lol
Tbh I hope R does most of her press tour with him instead of G*l or else... it's going to be so awkward. I'm genuinely sad that such a special role for R could become a nightmare for her
Side note: I thought it's crazy how T seems to know Andrew, I noticed he liked one of A's posts on IG, it's definitely not a recent post their connection does make sense as both of them work between NY-UK and T's gf is a theater director...the industry is indeed very small
Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if R and Andrew don’t have many interviews together. I hope R and Gal stay far away from each other during the press tour.
Exactly, R and Andrew will have chemistry but will it be like her and T’s? No! That’s a rare connection R and T have.
Andrew is not interested in R at all so they will have a different vibe. They’re chemistry will probably be similar to T and H, good friends and professional but that’s all.
The theater community is VERY small. They all know each other or at least have heard of each other at some point. R is making great connections so early in her career.

i’m sorry i’m going on another rant but this ship enrages me; i think they should be besties, not romantically in love. that’s how i originally read it, and i hope the show backtracks a little bit and makes that real, because they do NOT need to have romantic feelings for each other. like it seemed like they were just trying to figure out how to CARE about others, not like they were in love. i think they have deep platonic love for one another, but i see no reason that it needs to be/ should be romantic?? i think they’re both just trying to figure out how to express that for each other, and they’re really awkward about it, so it ends up being expressed a bit weirdly. i really really hope s2 does this narrative and they don’t end up as a couple. it just doesn’t feel right.
idc about the selfcest or whatever bc they’re completely different characters. the actors even have some chemistry, but i just do not like this ship as romantic, i see them as friends. i’m curious to see as well if sylvies feelings were genuine, or if she was trying to manipulate loki to get what she wants. i hope they can be friends without the writers/directors ruining it and making them actually fall in love.
taken from a quora response (i know i hate that site too but this reply really made sense):
“I glanced at the other answers and everyone seems pretty sure that they are madly in love. I have to say I disagree.
The Loki we know has truly experienced trauma throughout his life. He was basically abducted as a baby for lack of a better term, lied to, etc etc. He doesn't trust people. I would go as far as to say he doesn't even put any effort into liking them. As much as I do believe he loves Thor, it is a love-born out of initial obligation. I think that loving/caring about anyone outside of your immediate family is always different. And that the first time you do it, it has a learning curve. What a lot of people read as soft loving romantic feelings, I read as Loki slowly lowering walls.
I think that at the moment when Mobius was pruned, Loki truly was heartbroken, because he considered him an ally and a friend. Possibly his first. Imagine not having a single friend in a thousand years. After having that kick ass fight, working with Sylvie against the minutemen, he grabs her shoulders, I don't think he was going to dip her and kiss her. Ala a Peggy/Steve or Tony Pepper moment. Or declare her his one true love.
I think he was going to declare that he trusted her and that he wanted to fight alongside her. He was going to tell her everything that she missed, everything that he thought they should do next. He was fully prepared to do the same thing with Mobius, He just never got the chance. He's never known how to trust someone and now he did. And in his mind the first part of that is declaring it. Declaring that you aren't trying to betray that person despite it kind of being your calling card.
Could I see a romantic relationship in the distant future? Maybe? Everyone seems to look at the variant thing differently. To me none of the variants are the same. They look different, they act different, they were raised different, and they don't even appear to have the same genes. Literally twins are more similar than the variants. A lot of people are also saying that him caring for her is similar to him accepting himself because they share so many traits. But that is a kind of relationship that can be found in a person who isn't your trans-dimensional variant. Oftentimes our best friends, our platonic soulmates, are people that we see ourselves in the most.
There's a quote that I don't remember exactly. But it goes something like, “You will find that in your life there are people who will know your soul from the inside out and the great tragedy is that these are rarely the people you spend your life with." I thought of that quote several times when I was watching the last episode.
I personally really like Sylvie as a standalone character, and at this point I'm just hoping that she lives to move on in the next phase of movies. Because honestly, I like Tom Hiddleston, it would be cool for him to have a romantic relationship with anybody. But more than anything I'd love to see him in his mischievous glory with a best friend egging him on.”
