Why aren’t we writing fanfictions with Robert Downey Jr. acting like a father figure to Tom Holland on set and off-set, too? I mean, the man saw potential in Tom out of the five finalists for the role of spider-man (one of the reasons Tom was casted) and just took him under his wings since then. *cof* adopted *cof*.
Tom reacting to Robert just like Peter reacts to Tony.
The first time Robert came in (on spider-man homecoming) and Tom was sick so “doctor Robert” took him back to his trailer and hooked him up in a machine and fixed him up (Robert is iron man for real I swear to god).
Robert helping Tom with a scene late at night, being there for the kid (when he wasn’t obligated to do so because he had already filmed his part while Tom was busy with other movie) and Tom really appreciating having his dad Robert there.
Robert inviting Tom for lunch in “downeytown”, cooking dinner for Tom when he went 12 hours without eating and the catering shut down.
Giving Tom a christmas card, buying a spider-man spinner for him.
Tom watching movies a bit earlier because Robert has access to them super early.
Tom being cheeky with Robert on interviews just like a son would be (”you’ll watch it (homecoming) when I’m ready for you to watch it!”, about the first Iron Man movie: “I hated it. [laughs] I was first in line!”).
Robert being confused when Tom curses just like a father would be and not amused when Tom says Peter and Tony are like brothers but then smiling when he adds “father-son relationship”.
Breaking laws in China (with an oblivious Tom, and Robert having to explain and tell him to be quiet).
Hugs and facetime becoming a thing.
All the “like father like son” mirroring because they must spend a lot of time together and take after each other.
Giving compliments and/or smiling proudly when mentioning and/or seeing each other on interviews, press conferences, red carpets...I could go on forever.
My point is: what do you guys think about starting writing those type of fics? How about doing it in my iron dad 1000 feelings challenge? I mean, depending on the number and feeling you get, if you feel more inspired and inclined with writing the prompt about the actors or the characters, you would be free to do so!
