Mr. Badge, Mr. Badge, how much jello-ed everything and mousse-d everything are they eating in The Silver Age? Because I saw that 70s Dinner Party Food Frights thing and I thought they must eat this all the time please, it's creepy and weird and they must eat it, right? Did you mention jello? I must read it again.

I don’t think I did mention jello -- I do mention food a bit but usually in the context of the Jarvises cooking it, and they’re much more focused on solid traditional cooking, particularly traditional European Jewish cooking in Anna’s case. 

I don’t really know much about how Terrible Seventies Food interacted with class in the US, but I can take a few swings. I know in the early part of the century gelatin was considered sort of special and classy because you had to have a fridge to make it, and not many people did, but I think by the seventies it was a sort of middle-class-with-aspirations kind of a good. A lot of the “horrifying food” we see on the internet comes from food advertisers, who were aiming at the middle and upper-edge of the working classes, and it’s frequently aspirational in nature. 

I don’t think the Starks ate much jello salad, though mousses, perhaps, and maybe occasionally some kind of protein-in-aspic. Maria always struck me as Old Money, and while Howard is self-made he’s also vastly self-assured, so he doesn’t need to impress anyone. 

That being said, I’m willing to bet Clint has EXTENSIVE experience with jello salads and other Gallery Of Regrettable Food style horrors, and Bucky and Steve probably think they’re very classy, so I bet there’s like...jello-salad night at the penthouse they all room in, at least once a week. Especially since Coulson is a midwestern-bred military brat and probably got a lot of the same foods Clint was exposed to. 

So like -- Clint and Phil are experimenting with corn in gelatin, Steve and Sam are splitting a bowl of whipped fish, Bucky is eating something with more mayonnaise than is really ideal, and Tony paid a chef at a local five-star steakhouse to bring him a rare filet mignon with new potatoes for him and Jan to eat because oh my god, these savages. 

Natasha will eat anything, but Clint found out she secretly likes orange jello with mini marshmallows in, so they ALWAYS have orange jello with mini marshmallows in.

Maria made the mistake of doing a surprise visit during Trash Food Night one time. Tony had to mix her a restorative martini before she could recover. They all agreed Anna must never know, or she might insist on leaving Stark Mansion and moving into the penthouse so that they don’t all die of malnutrition.

AHHHHH, sorry, but. Imagine that Tony believes both he and Clint are buried in different places? And the Villain tells him that the Avengers have one hour to pick one of them? And one hour goes by and Tony's not even surprised? Except that Clint was never kidnapped and is with the Avengers. And they're all DESPERATE looking for Tony? Maybe even hearing him? Not being able to talk to him? Hearing the little unsurprised snort Tony lets out once an hour goes by? WHY DO THIS TO ME

yoooooooooooooomf g tHIS. is

When they finally get together, is Matt going to be touching Foggy'd belly all the time? Is he going to insist on being the big spoon to put his hands under Foggy's shirt? Is he going to think he's being smooth and discreet while Foggy sees through him? Is Matt gonna rest his head on Foggy's stomach? IS HE GOING TO KISS IT ALL THE TIME BEFORE GOING DOWN ON FOGGY? This is important. For world peace or something.

YES TO ALL OF THE ABOVE

I AM GOING TO RETURN TO THESE THOUGHTS AT A POINT WHEN I DON’T HAVE TO BE AWAKE IN FIVE HOURS BUT NEEDED TO RELEASE THEM INTO THE UNIVERSE

I really really love your bad boyfriend Steve. I keep thinking about what it'd be like if he was the kind of bad boyfriend that always gives this vibe of "trying out the relationship" (even if it wasn't actually what was happening). Like, he's obviously not as dedicated as Tony, and Tony's just waiting for the day when Steve will make a decision already. And on one hand, Tony is pissed at how cruel Steve's being. On the other hand? He'll take what he can get. Just put Tony out of his misery.

thank you, although I’m really more of a vessel than the source. xD

omg TONY

Bucky may not be an artist like Steve, but when he looks at Tony, he gets an itch to paint a portrait and fill it with every detail, every beautiful flaw he's fallen in love with. He wants to capture it all because he knows there's no chance for him to touch with the kind of reverence Tony deserves.

My other Winteriron Holiday Exchange gift, this time for @idreamofpants! This thing came when I was instead trying to write an Anastasia AU (which will be happening... eventually) and it turned into a 7000-word monster of a fic. Hope you enjoy and thanks for reading!

I've been listening to A Million Years ago and thinking about Tony. Especially with "I miss my mother, I miss it when life was a party to be thrown". Thinking of Tony and listening to Adele is a very easy way to cry a lot.

oh gosh yes those lyrics ugh
