tony sucks so much pre-afghanistan in such a specific way and it is so interesting to me

[kayvsworld]

every year i make it like 10 minutes in and then i have to pause. sigh

like pre-afghanistan tony is like,,, deeply apathetic. floating through his own life, terrible to himself and the people around him not by intent but by just not really giving a shit, not paying attention, he does Not care about the awards ceremony he's missing he does not care if he's late anywhere he does not care where his money goes he's got his hands off the wheel with his company because obie's driving and pepper drives everything else.

pepper is one of the most important people in his life. he does not know when her birthday is. he has the most advanced digital assistant in the world. he could have Jarvis remind him. he could set up a calendar reminder. he doesn't.

rhodey is one of the most important people in his life. he lets him eat shit on stage because he's too busy Working A Crowd & Gambling and he doesn't even care if he wins or not or goes home with any of the women hanging off him he could be anywhere he could be doing anything. and sure he's quick with the empty platitudes oh rhodey i'm so sorry but he Does later make rhodey wait for him for three hours at the airport and everyone around him's like yeah he's just like this. deliberate distance

but the interesting part!!!!!!!! is that there are cracks. it's like 100 surface layers of Who Gives A Shit Whatever until you press him on it, like with christine everhart. he has his 100 justifications at the ready, and then when she doesn't buy the rehearsed obie & howard line's he's selling, suddenly he's whipping off the sunglasses like okay well we're killing people but we're saving them, too, on paper, is anyone going to ask me about That? is anybody going to pay attention to That? where do you think that comes from? how do you think that happens? all those breakthroughs? military funding, honey. and then he's redirecting onto something else

and then afghanistan happens and the whole thing is blown wide open and he's like okay ACTUALLY, i DO give a shit actually i gave a shit the WHOLE GODDAMN TIME actually i CARE and i can do something about this and it no one will help me i'll do it myself and i have an obligation and a purpose and a reason to be alive

it's just so compelling to watch that fire get reignited in this guy who's maybe been like completely checked out since his parents died & only doing What He Wants as a footnote side project with military funding that needs to be okayed by obadiah stane for 20 years like oh my god

I think I am going to maybe froth at the mouth at how people are so genre blind these days. It is like a widespread lack of literacy. It’s so bizarre. Like— I admittedly don’t have any context for this except for the SNL episode I watched last night but I find it bizarre that people say Harry Styles is queerbaiting with his clothing. He’s doing glam rock. Glam rock has a long performance history, it has incredibly famous fashion icons like David Bowie and Prince— and the androgynous camp is its DEFINING FEATURE. It had been for DECADES. The mix of masculine and feminine always toeing or even crossingthe line of eroticism is a big standard style of personal expression in that genre and in that context.

Or bad takes about how Austen novels end in marriage. It is a reflection of lived reality at that time yes but it is also A STAPLE OF THE GENRE. At that time it was a lot more common for tragedies to be defined by death at the end and comedies to be defined by a marriage at the end. Why do her novels end with marriage? BECAUSE SHE WAS WRITING COMEDIES. THE MARRIAGE AT THE END WAS A REQUIREMENT OF THE GENRE.

They need to make Loki kiss boys. They need to give Loki a boyfriend. I will stand on that until the day I die.

FIRST step to enjoying any media is getting attached to the character whose suicidal tendencies are the most obvious

Second step is shipping them with whoever they are most likely to become codependent with.

nothing on this god's green earth can convince me that peter parker doesn't have an ao3 account where he is elbows deep in a 'rise of skywalker' fix-it fic. like, fully invested in it, been writing it pre-spider bite with ned, who is just as enthusiastic about it. but the thing is, it's really hard to do updates when you are literally spider-man.

every three months he'll post and in the author's note there's some shit like "sorry this took a while, i got shot seven times :/" or "i know it's been a minute, i literally got hit by a bus and then stabbed in the leg, but i'm all good!" or sometimes ned would log in and post with a note "hey i'm a friend posting on the author's behalf, they're healing from severe hypothermia but promised an update, so here it is!"

and the fic just gets increasingly more popular for the author notes alone. a good handful of the comments are something along the lines of "i'm not even in the star wars fandom, i'm just here to see if the author is good" or "every update i cheer for another day the author gets to live at this point"

and any reader who is a native new yorker kind of pieces together that holy shit the author might be spider-man because the timeline adds up, and they just fully embrace it. spider-man will stop a robbery and the guy behind the counter will ask when the next chapter will be up. spider-man returns a stolen backpack to a girl and she'll tell him that he "really got poe's voice down so well, it's really impressive."

ned thinks it is hilarious. mj finds out about the fic from twitter, to peter's absolute horror, and changes peter's contact name to "friendly neighborhood ao3 author". but the worst thing to happen is after an avengers battle where peter took a pretty big hit and ends up in med-bay. and during a press conference, when someone asks how spider-man is healing, tony just drops "spidey won't be down for too long. the star wars fic will be updated within the week, probably."

ao3 goes down for two days.
