they/them | chapter 26 | tony stark is my roman empire

[chrysaliscore]

do you think tony uses the arc reactor as a flashlight when he goes to piss at 3 am

[fotibrit]

tony “if a boundary is not stated like a fucking legal contract, im gonna do my best to poke holes in it” stark and steve “Say that again and i will punch you in the face and i mean that 1000%” rogers

they’re both a brat but different directions

TONY STARK in AVENGERS (2023) + sunglasses

[the1001thmagician]

Every time I go out and see anything Captain America related I think about Tony and the way OTHERS TREATED HIM LIKE A PUNCHING BAG TILL THD DAY HE DIED

Like. It's like a curse. Mall, buying clothes? There's gonna be at least one tiny shirt for a newborn who can't even watch anything with a shield on it and I go >:(

Action figures? >:(

Gift wrappers? >:(

On pencils? >:(

I literally see his icon every single time I go out, way more than I see Tony's, and each time my brain is just like HOW DARE YOU, ALL OF YOU, ALL OF YOU TREAT TONY LIKE THAT AND DON'T DIE FROM GUILT

IT JUST. IDK. I go out and again, I'm reminded of how UNFAIR it all was. You can find me staring at smth in that theme and throwing daggers with my eyes EVERY SINGLE TIME

[chrysaliscore]

tony can never forget. probably doesn't deserve to.

that's what he tells himself every time he puts on the news. or walks down the street. or takes a trip to the mall.

tony is constantly reminded of everything that is wrong with him, and that's the way it's supposed to be.

that's what he tells himself, at least. when he looks himself in the mirror. or lists all his shortcomings. or counts all his flaws.

it's hard not to, and he thinks he shouldn't anyways.

his father said so himself, loud and clear. explained to tony at a very young age that he'd never measure up. never compare. that he couldn't even so much as reach for it.

children never dressed up as him for halloween. the news never talked about him in a positive light. his fellow colleagues never gave him a pat on the shoulder and a 'good job out there today'.

those things belonged to steve.

steve rogers. captain america.

kind.

courageous.

inspiring.

the very definition of what a hero should be. someone who ignites hope in the heart of the people.

someone tony never would be.

steve rogers. captain america.

who looks at him with disgust.

who questions his every word.

who can't be in the same room as him for longer than five minutes.

but it's fine, he supposes. it has to be.

tony never wanted to be a hero anyways.

[fotibrit]

thinking about how quick tony was to assume that he was poisoned when he had an anxiety attack.

so how many times do you think he had an anxiety attack at a party before and assumed his drink got spiked? Assumed he was poisoned? Assumed anything except anxiety?

How often do you think he scolded himself for not checking his food better, for not watching his drink better, for not being better, while hiding in a closet somewhere trying to panic quiet enough nobody hears him?

[itsalmostavengers]

Steve Rogers is a very staunchly pro bush man. And obviously I am not talking about the president who I’m sure he would kill on sight if he could I am talking about pubes.

[itsalmostavengers]

If Steve Rogers finally got laid in the 21st century after months of inaction and then he took off her panties to reveal a bald pussy I think that’d be the thing that pushed him to complete mental breakdown

[itsalmostavengers]

If Steve Rogers got laid for the second time in the 21st century and this time it was with a man he would feel at least comforted by the fact that men don’t d— what the fuck do you MEAN you PUT A LASER DOWN THERE
