LIFE UPDATE
Wow it’s really been a while since I logged back here I don’t recognize most of the urls OTL
I’m more active on facebook and twitter now! Feel free to follow or add me as friend OwO
School has definitely taken a toll on me. And moreso my so-called friends?? It’s all ok now but there’s this sad truth that your friends may not think of you as close as you thought and it affected my mental health so bad
I miss being active. Like physically active. I miss playing tennis(heck I always miss tennis) but I try to make up for it by walking really long distances as much as possible
I’m gonna graduate next year!!! Actually I’m supposed to graduate on June or on an earlier batch but so many problems arose and I couldn’t focus on my thesis for a year :( But I’m hanging onto it now!!
Met a bunch of new friends and drifted away from old friends. It’s a sad but healthy cycle imo
Feel free to abuse my chatbox or askbox?? the chatbox is literally a new feature for me like it wasn’t fucking there when i left this account lol
I’m just here for tenipuri honestly,
shower thought
the inevitable return of every person who ever liked prince of tennis back into the fandom no matter how many years theyve been away is the tezuka zone pulling us all back in. you can never escape
I like how Sanada seems scared of those little Yukimuras xD
He should be.

Do y'all remember when voltron got served
Vol…tron?
Ya know I’ve seen quite a few posts calling Tony an ass and a horrible person for shooting Sam after Rhodey gets shot down. Do you guys hate Tony so much that you seriously saw that moment as Tony trying to kill or injure Sam? Seriously?
Tony was reacting protectively over one of the only friends he has left who has never left him or tried to hurt him. Rhodey is his BEST FRIEND. Sam has been on the other side of Tony this whole time so when Rhodey is almost killed, Tony doesn’t want anyone else near him. He shoots a harmless blast to push Sam away as a statement of “Back off!” You’ve seen his kill blasts. That wasn’t one of them. Look at how he cradles Rhodey to him. He’s trying protecting him from anything else; trying to keep him with him. It’s like Tony is saying “don’t leave me”.
Why do you use this as another excuse to villainize Tony Stark?
Okay so can we talk about how much I love this idea of Tony being portrayed as almost fatherly in the Marvel movies? I mean, in Iron Man 3 we see him with Harley and now in Civil War we see how he acts with Peter. He gives Harley something to stop the bully that’s picking on him at school, and while we all know he recruits Peter to be on his team, he sits on his bed with him and touches his shoulder, he redesigns his suit, and then when Peter gets hurt in the fight, Tony makes him sit out or else he’ll tell his aunt his secret. I just really love this side of him, honestly.
ARE YOU FUCKKIINGGG KIDDING ME HE LITERALLY JUST STEPS IN FRONT OF THE CAR THAT IS ON FIRE AND COULD CRUSH HIS BODY AND NONCHALANTLY MOVES ASIDE LIKE ITS NOTHING I MEAN WHATS GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND BUCKY LIKE OH IM GONNA WAIT TILL THE LAST SECOND TO MOVE BC I FEEL LIKE BEING THEATRICAL
I think there’s a f l a w in my c o d e
civil war au where everything is the same except when the winter solider is activated instead of killing people he starts speaking in spanish and trying to dance with people like buzz when his settings get messed up in toy story three
Okay so my soul just left my entire body. I just read a post about Tony apparently being abusive, having no morality, and trying to prove, I guess, that he regularly tries to kill his friends. (And how people who oppose a certain abusive ship but ship him with with others are giant hypocrites, but that’s kind of neither here nor there.)
In any case, this really pisses me off, for a few reasons. Honestly, I’m sick of seeing Tony’s character so grossly misinterpreted. Because look. Tony literally has PTSD and anxiety, and in all likelihood, depression as well. Not only does the fandom seem to not understand how he’s slowly losing it, but neither do, evidently, any of his friends. Let’s think about this. He tries to cope with it and make it better, and he’s constantly… shamed for it. There’s a longer post floating around which explains it really well.
Anyways, what I really want to talk about here is, I think, Tony and Steve’s relationship, and I think, too, how that factors into what Civil War ended up being. So.
I think a lot of this “discourse” (anti-Tony, that is) comes from people who happen to stan a certain other Avenger. This post isn’t anti-Steve, fyi. I think he’s a perfectly fine character, even if I don’t personally like him. More so, this is about somewhat poor writing for both characters. Though many fans don’t seem to think so - and I think the movies try to convince you otherwise as well - both Tony and Steve are very flawed characters/people. Tony’s flaws are pretty obvious to everyone, so I won’t go into them. But Steve, on the other hand.
Steve has certainly progressed a good deal from what what we saw in the first Captain America movie, but how has he progressed? Has he changed as a person? A little. But I think more than anything, his character arc has been centered around his disillusionment with the “system”. Which… is well and fine; it certainly presents an interesting angle on patriotism. But honestly, he hasn’t really fundamentally changed beyond becoming more mature, and this is important. This is a huge flaw, in my opinion, with the writing in MCU. Steve basically gets to keep his core ideologies - doing the “right” thing, even if the world is against you - throughout all the Captain America and Avengers movies. Often, of course, Steve if faced with a conflict which questions this belief. And the movies seem to think that’s enough, because ultimately, he never actually has to rethink anything. Steve is really a very stubborn character, and the universe always seems to side with him. To me, this is lazy writing and ultimately results in an unrealistic, somewhat uninteresting character (at least to me).
Alright, so onto Civil War. I thought it was pretty good, for the MCU. Though, I think it also ran into the typical problems stemming from not following the source material. And I don’t mean that to be pretentious, like oh, the comics are so much better or anything. Sometimes the changes MCU makes are actually better than the comics. What I mean is, especially for an arc as thoughtful, innovative, and influential as Civil War is, they warped it to the point where it sort of lost its initial impact, in my opinion. Maybe this was necessary, because of the fundamental nature of something like the MCU and the fact that this was, after all, a Captain America movie. (Then again, maybe it shouldn’t have been made as a CA movie, but that’s another discussion for another day, I think.) In any event, as anyone who’s seen the movie knows, the basic premise of the original arc is still there: the universe reaches a point where a philosophical conclusion about the nature of a universe in which super powered beings exist must be reached, there are differing opinions, there is fighting between said beings, and there is no clear conclusion. But that’s about as far as it goes to being true to the original arc, besides, of course, some of the characters being the same.
And if you’ve seen the movies, then you also know that, despites how the movie tries to spin it, a pretty clear conclusion is reached - Tony, and his stance, are wrong. I mean, Steve and his side do face a degree of punishment for being on the “losing” team; they’re technically not part of the Avengers anymore and have to go off, essentially in crime fighting exile. However, beyond that, Steve wins the real, moral victory. Through one event, Tony’s whole side and everyone on it are supposedly proven wrong. This logic is weird and I don’t think it really holds up, but the movie certainly thinks so. Tony is left disgraced, pretty much, in a really good deal of emotional pain; his friends have paid the real price for this. (I don’t include Bucky here because what happened to him has been happening forever, unfortunately, and isn’t really a consequence of the reasons for Civil War specifically.)
Furthermore, as I said earlier, Steve is a flawed character. He is too much of a hero. He believes too deeply in doing the right thing, at the cost of practicality or the most logical, best action. Funny thing is, Tony seems to be just about the only character to recognize this. Until this movie, he was the only one to call Steve out on it. And funnier thing is, everyone thought Tony was essentially being a selfish dick by disagreeing with him. That Tony was somehow less heroic, hadn’t changed from the self-absorbed party boy he once was (and honestly even that part of his life was caused by deep pain he didn’t know how to deal with as well). Steve’s heroism is, of course, good in small doses. It’s what helps any of the heroes we see in these movies to do what they do. But there’s a limit to this. Tony recognizes that, and regularly applies it to himself.
I think you’d have to have really paid no attention to these movies to try and claim Tony hasn’t changed at all. He’s grown tremendously, as a person and a hero, and has seriously paid for that. Tony has become responsible and mature; he’s grown into something that is the best version of a hero. He is not the villain, and he did not do anything wrong any more than Steve did. Stop making him out to be one.
Outrageous!
this is so ridiculous but i don’t care
tony: *makes valid points about the avengers going unchecked and how maybe having some checks involved would be a good idea for the protection of civilians*
tony: *has a different viewpoint from steve because he is not a soldier, as steve is*
tony: *sees bucky kill his mother before his very eyes and understandably lashing out emotionally, despite logically knowing that bucky was brainwashed. the pain is still real*
a majority of the marvel fandom: GOD i cant BELIEVE tony hes being so AWFUL in civil war what the fuck is WRONG with him???
me: ?????????
