Part of the journey is the end;

I don't use or post on tumblr anymore, I just lurk; multifandom mess that used to post about Supernatural, Star Trek, Marvel and everything else in between. Previously; archeangels and fleetingstar

Interviewer: Who would you say is the heart of the team?

Downey: (Points to Evans)

Evans: See, I was going to say him. I was genuinely going to say him. I think without him, we don’t work.

Avengers Character Meme: IRON MAN

“Does anybody remember when I put a missile through a portal, in New York City? We were standing right under it. We’re the Avengers, we can bust weapons dealers the whole doo-da-day, but how do we cope with something like that?”

goddamn enOUGH with this trend of people believing that tony doesn’t own up to his mistakes and take accountability. stop using headcanons and personal interpretations to color what is canon and what isn’t. age of ultron tells us that the twins were 7 were they died, meaning that the use of stark weapons in their parents’ deaths was just under 20 years ago. tony found out about gulmira and the illegal arms dealing of his company with the ten rings in 2008. this was 7 years ago. whatever happened in sokovia preceded afghanistan and gulmira. that’s just simple maths for you. it wasn’t until afghanistan that tony had his eyes opened. and what did he do? he tore down his company, risked his life and was nearly murdered so he could have the chance to change stark industries, to fix his past mistakes and to ensure he would never run a company that produced weapons ever again. 

when tony says “this was never my life” in aou after pietro points to the illegally obtained black market missiles he has literally been fighting for the past decade of his life to make up for his mistakes and his ignorance of stark industries’ illegal dealings. he has never willingly or intentionally sold illegal weapons to arms dealers or terrorists or people that used these weapons for the sole purpose of fear tactics and murder. the moment he stood up before the world press and shut down SI’s weapons manufacturing effectively immediately, the man who was responsible for illegal arms dealing at stark industries attempted to have him killed. and before that, had him kidnapped and held for torture.

ignorance ≠ innocence and his hands are by no means clean. those are his mistakes to carry with him and to remember but when his eyes were opened tony stark saw. and he saw a future where he didn’t build things blew people up, a future where he and his company could do better and more for the world and the people living in it then just creating death and destruction. i am sick and fucking tired of meta posts and the hoards of people ignoring the entirety of canon that is tony stark doing everything humanly possible to stop his weapons from hurting innocent people again. since iron man 1, he has thrown himself into clean energy and sustainability, into medical technology and development, into every facet of innovation and pushing the boundaries of what humankind can achieve with their minds, into donning on an iron suit he built with his bare hands to save people, into outfitting his team with the best possible protection and gear he can create so they can stay safe whilst also saving people.

tony stark is not perfect nor infallible. his is human. his past is marked by those mistakes, but it is NOT a fucking supervillain origin story. he is a character that demonstrates the ability to make mistakes and learn from them, to atone, to fix what he fucked up. if that’s somehow too unbelievable, if being allowed to change and evolve from your former self is something you find too cynical to accept that’s on you. what kind of world would it be if all of the worst mistakes we ever made were held against us for the rest of our lives in spite of any and all attempts to atone. because that’s how it is for tony stark. and despite those telling him he can’t and waiting for him to fail, he picks himself back up, he owns up to the mistake and builds anew from the ground up. and continues to risk his life all the time, just a human with a brilliant mind and metal suit, protecting and saving people to make up for his past bit by bit. 

and despite the fact that some will never be able to see him as anything other than his mistakes, he is a good man, an avenger and a hero.

Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not the perfect soldier, but a good man.
