I found the time and motivation to make another “tony stark in a lethal situation” art ❤️
Iron man 3 this time!
>Go to a party
>Fall in love
AU, in which Tony Stark got to Elysium as a great warrior for his exploits and saving his universe. :)
(And then, because of boredom, he followed Zagreus x))
Tony is a God
If you ask people which mythological figure they associate Tony with, the most popular answer is Hephaestus. And that makes sense. Hephaestus, like Tony, is a disabled blacksmith who created all the weapons on Olympus. But this is the only similarity between them. While Hephaestus is the god of blacksmithing, crafts, and metalworking, Tony is much more than that.
He is a scientist (expert in physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, AI and engineering), inventor, creator, futurist and prophet, philanthropist, benefactor, adviser, healer, warrior, leader, intercessor and protector of people from wicked gods.
There is another character in Greek mythology who has more in common with Tony than the god of blacksmithing.
He was born and raised as a titan, was betrayed by his close friend, was held captive and tortured in the mountains in the land of barbarians, took fire from the gods and gave it to humanity, created artificial life, saw the future and tried to prevent a catastrophe, participated in the war between the gods and the titans, and sacrificed himself for humanity by stopping an omnipotent god from obliterating the human race.
I just recapped Tony's arc in the MCU. But this is also the story of the titan Prometheus, god of forethought and fire, master craftsman, creator and benefactor of humankind, who stole fire from the gods to give it to humans, along with knowledge, science and technology, creating civilization.
Iron Man: Rapture
"Prometheus Bound", Christian Griepenkerl
Tony: Wait. You got married to someone you just met? They didn’t reject you over and over? How many times did you propose?
Rhodey: I think… none?
Tony: [stunned] What?
It’s Fourth of July Eve so make sure to leave some milk and cookies out for Captain America
I THOUGHT AFTER FOUR YEARS YOU PEOPLE WOULD LET THIS DIE AND YET AGAIN I OPEN THIS CURSED APP TO FIND MORE NOTES ON THIS POST
Did Tony really like to party?
We'll list every party we know Tony has attended in the MCU (including deleted scenes and What If? S2 E4, since that Tony is a copy of the main Tony from the MCU) and see what he was doing there.
MIT
When Tony was 17-18 he went to parties with other MIT students. Here's the main post, but I'll quote the MIT alumni again:
“I remember him at after-parties on Thayer Street. He was up later than anyone else. But you could always get a ride home with him, because he always had a car.”
“No one really knew him, he was just a rich kid. Everyone wanted him around, though, because he'd always bring something fun for the party.”
What he was doing there: entertaining others. Didn't really communicate with them, didn't drink, helped them get home.
Bern (New Year Eve, 1999)
Two questions: 1) Does he look drunk? 2) Does he willingly communicate with people other than Maya and Happy? My answer to both questions is no.
What he was doing there: separately from everyone else quietly communicated with Maya; avoided people except her, to help with this task took Happy with him; if it was not possible to avoid interactions, reduced them to a minimum; despite Yinsen's words from IM1 he didn't seem drunk, while people around were; happily left the party to spend time alone with Maya. Wearing sunglasses in darkened rooms at night.
Jet (on the way to Afghanistan, 2008)
What he was doing there: sprawled on the couch, sipping champagne and looking at his flight attendants, while drunken Rhodey tried to convince him that he's a good person. The party didn't last long - one of the flight attendants blindfolded him and took him to the bedroom.
Dubai (2008, alternative trip to Gulmira)
As you can see it was either a VERY fun party or not at all.
What he was doing there: creating an alibi for himself to fly to Gulmira to save people from the Ten Rings. Wearing sunglasses at night. Avoiding interactions, visibly uncomfortable with those he couldn't avoid. Left immediately with two girls ordered for conspiracy. Having reached the bedroom, left them and flew away on the mission.
P.S. He also asked a third girl to join them on the way to the bedroom, leaving the guy who was with her alone. I imagine that incident potentially could create another Marvel villain.
Charity Ball (IM1, 2008)
What he was doing there: showing the public and the board of directors that he's fine. Avoiding people, had unwanted interactions with Coulson and Christine just because they caught him. Basically ignoring Coulson, staring at Pepper. Drank a little. Enjoyed time only with Pepper: slow dancing with her, joking around, paying attention to her feelings and needs, asking if he makes her uncomfortable, and offering to go outside for some fresh air when she needs it. Together with Pepper, left for a secluded place on the balcony. Quietly talking to her there. Went to get drinks for Pepper without question when she felt the urge. Told Christina that he is feeling uncomfortable there. Actually showed signs of discomfort. Immediately left after talking with Stane.
Birthday Party (IM2)
Another super fun alibi party. This time to "pass" the armor to Rhodey and push everyone away from himself so that he can die alone and so that no one will mourn for him.
What he was doing there: acting. Pretending he is dead drunk and enjoying the party. Wearing sunglasses at night inside the house (in the deleted scene with Natasha). Destroyed the ice statue of himself. To Natasha's question "What about those people around?" said "That's why we are doing it. It's for them. It's my party, it's my friends. They like this sort of garbage". What kind of "friends" are these for him, you can find out from Jon Favreau himself here. Kicks everyone out of the house by yelling during the fight with Rhodey. Just lying exhausted in a destroyed house after everyone left.
Age Of Ultron Party
What he was doing there: greeted Rhodey and Sam. Spent some time in the small company of Thor, Maria Hill and Rhodes. Was quiet - listened and smiled more than he spoke. Drank a little, perhaps less than the others. Quietly played cards with the team after most people had left. Became active only at the stage of attempting to lift the hammer. Encouraged others to try.
To summarize: he was quiet and attentive overall. Was just hanging around his house like a stranger while people other than the Avengers were at a party. Seemingly felt more comfortable when most of the people left and he stayed with the team, just playing cards and drinking beer.
Indian wedding (Spider-Man Homecoming)
What he was doing there: Tony attended someone's wedding in India. Apparently he didn't know the language, so he couldn't communicate and kept away from other people. Looked busy with Peter and something else. Showed no interest in the event. Didn't really drink and left quickly.
Grandmaster's Birthday (What If?)
"I've put my party days behind me".
What he was doing there: Grandmaster forced Tony to stay to celebrate his birthday by threatening him with his Melt Stick. Tony settled on the couch away from the others and was not very pleased when the Grandmaster joined him. Showed no signs of enjoyment throughout the event. Just wanted to get home pronto. Chose to save the people first instead.
Victory Celebration with Val and Korg (What If?)
What he was doing there: enjoyed their little company, but thought about Pepper and Earth.
Conclusion:
As you can see, the common characteristics of all or most of his party visits, except those when he was in a small group of close friends, were:
avoidance of people
sunglasses (if available) when they don't make much sense except covering his eyes from others
focusing on quiet calm interactions with people he knows
leaving the parties at the first opportunity/running away from them
focus on entertaining others, not himself
no alcohol consumption or consumption in small quantities
showing signs of discomfort
looking and acting like he is out of place
At the same time, at quiet parties with a small group of close people, he seemed to feel more comfortable.
You can already draw your conclusion. Mine - he didn't like parties at all. He sometimes enjoyed spending time in the company of people he liked, and it had nothing to do with enjoying parties per se.
You had great idea, Tony, but my suit is more advanced in every way!
#i like this moment a lot#it’s a classic mcu moment when the payoff for something that was set up in a comic way helps defeating the villain#but i like the implication here#namely that tony knows about the icing problem bc he pushed the suit to its limits#tried to get higher and higher and higher#always improving#always wanting more#going straight to the skies#meanwhile obie lacks tony’s vision and creativity#(‘TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!’)#he mistankenly assumes he could get one over tony by stealing his tech#but he failed to realise tony’s strenght lies in his brightness and his creative and boundless spirit
not a dream
what the duck is a blorbo
What does a stock photo of some random guy brooding have to do with my question
i'm so sorry to tell you that's not some random guy brooding, that's jensen ackles, the guy who played dean winchester in supernatural. i think this may be a screenshot from the show.
My mom calls him pouty and the other one squeezy
thank you, I didn't do it intentionally
on the one hand im honored that my tags got noticed but on the other hand now everyone can see the fact that i got misha collins and jensen ackles mixed up
in my defense they look exactly the same
In your defense when you said this was Misha Collins I immediately believed you that this was his name instead of Jensen Shackles
This post gives off vintage Tumblr vibes
No the real vintage tumblr would already add at least one supernatural gif to the post
this happened an Hour ago
I’m sorry, I need to bring us back around to pouty and squeezy because that’s perfect and I love it
*tries to fit this gif in here somewhere*
THAT'S SQUEEZY!
he sure pouts a lot its the perfect name
I couldn't find the right image to explain why my mom called the other one squeezy (because he often kept his lips "tightly squeezed", according to her) so here's this image instead
this post is from... *check notes* yesterday?
Ok, but what is a blorbo?
I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY MY MOM THAT I (ACCIDENTALLY) LIED TO YOU ALL
TURNS OUT, SOME 18 OR SO YEARS AGO MY MOM AND AUNT DECIDED TO GIVE SUPERNATURAL A GO AND STARTED WATCHING THE FIRST SEASON TOGETHER AND IT WAS MY AUNT, NOT MY MOM, WHO GAVE POUTY AND SQUEEZY THEIR NICKNAMES
I must add that my aunt is the kind of person who cares not about pop culture
Iron Man 1 really said "the actual bad guy is the white capitalist who is selling arms under the table to both sides in order to extend the war and make as much money from it as possible," and Iron Man 2 really said "the white capitalist who gives a platform to people with bad intentions in order to make a buck is the reason the bad intentions have the opportunity to prosper and cause untold damage," and Iron Man 3 really said "the real terrorist is the white capitalist who will create and use fear to manipulate governments and the public in order to sell a product," and I really don't think enough people recognise this.
I wanted to draw the winter soldier for years but never dared to, I thought I’d definitely mess it up. Late to the party as always, but I finally dared to do it 😊
This one is based on a photo that Sebastian Stan took by chance prior to the Civil War film, having no idea what’s about to come :> I thought it’s wonderfully angsty 😌💅
Tony saved Bucky?
Many people think that Tony wanted to kill Bucky in that bunker in Civil War. But not many watched the movie frame by frame. Look at this:
Did Tony just save Bucky from the falling structure? This is STRANGE, isn’t it? Let’s take a closer look:
Tony is punching Bucky. The structure is falling on them.
They noticed it.
Tony turns back to Bucky.
And throws him away from the falling metal.
While Tony stays there and gets pinned by the rubble.
Well, looks like he indeed saved him by throwing him aside and took the hit himself instead. Strange move for a guy who wants to kill.
Nerds nerding
[Steve keeps trying to call Tony who refuses to answer]
Radio: The next one’s dedicated to Tony from Steve. Tony, he wants you to know he’s deeply sorry for what he did and he hopes you can find it in your heart to forgive him.
[With or Without You plays]
[Tony seems touched. He pauses for a moment, then picks up the phone and starts to dial. Cut to Steve in Wakanda.]
Radio: Uh, we’ve just gotten a call from Tony, and he told us what Steve did. It’s pretty appalling, and Steve, if you’re listening, I don’t wanna play your song anymore. Why don’t we devote our time to a couple that stands a chance? Charles, Erik’s sorry he hit you with his car and he hopes you two will work it out.
Okay, I've read many fics that mention Tony's reduced lung capacity due to the arc reactor, but it has just occured to me - there has to be some bone fuckery going on too, right?
Like, I'm not an anatomy expert by any means, but I'm pretty sure this is where the ribcage is, or at the very least the sternum. Right? So how does that shit work?
Alright, so, for your consideration this has both images and a little bit of information that shows what an x-ray of Tony's chest looks like.
Chest X-Ray of Tony Stark via radiopaedia.org
There are also some interesting medical insights from those who have pointed out that with how deep inside of Tony's chest Pepper puts her hand, his lungs were likely heavily impaired, among other things. Extremis resolved these issues, but writing anything with Tony pre-Iron Man 3 this is a man who shouldn't be able to do extended periods of exertion.
I'm not totally all together right now, but these are a couple of decent sources to get an idea of what's going on. Be advised that there may be medical information here that's uncomfortable to read.
