*thinks fondly about victorian era! clara oswin oswald*
AnyWays, let’s talk about the stark legacy a lil bit! in my canon:
hi’ilani li siyu (americanized: howard lee stark) immigrated to america (new york) from china at age 11.
howard & his family grew up extremely poor and worked under extreme prejudices to get by in new york.
his father was a well renowned scientist in china, and while he worked for projects in america, he was often undercut and never received any recognition for the work that he had done.
from a young age, howard learned his father’s trade and together they established stark enterprises (americanized for the public appeal).
howard and his father contributed greatly to american efforts in ww1, but received no recompense for it. howard sought to change that by ww2.
he made bigger projects that couldn’t be ignored. he diverged from his father to create the stark expo, a show literally so big it couldn’t be ignored.
he met miss maria carbonell, who immigrated from portugal at age 16 & Oof.
together they took over the world & had tony.
aka in my main verse, there is no stark industries, but an alternate stark enterprises. (thus my url.) both howard and maria immigrated when they were young, making tony a first gen immigrant & basically the entire family is a group of american icons,
Imagine actually having the brainpower to go back through paswg and gather demon sisters icons,
you know the long ass stare when ash and ritchie shake hands? good shit x2
