Proof That Tony Stark Has A Heart

“Don’t you read the gossip columns? I have a lust for life that, when viewed from a distance, is almost indistinguishable from a death wish”

[ironman3s]

It has been like almost 11 years and I still can’t get over that one that scene in iron man 1 where tony has the gauntlet on in his workshop and catches his reflection in the glass and just fucking obliterates it. it is like the single most poignant expression of self-loathing i’ve ever seen on camera

“For a reason, fuck that. Why cause I fall off a building 10 people in Baltimore survive a bus crash? Swell they’re enjoying Baltimore I’m lying here with my brains out.”

It’s interesting to note when Tony takes his sunglasses off and when he wears them. The lack of sunglasses usually depicts his vulnerability and sincerity, whereas its presence signifies that his game face is on.

Hence, when he has a heart-to-heart with Rhodey and when he is trying to encourage Peter to formally be an avenger, he takes off his sunglasses. In CA:CW, as Tony is discussing the Accords with Steve, he doesn’t wear sunglasses. However, when his entreaties are dismissed and the negotiations fall off, we get a scene of Tony putting his sunglasses (his game face) on as Steve walks away.

There is almost no scene in which Tony is wearing his sunglasses when talking to Pepper. He is always ‘bare’ when talking to her, even before Afghanistan. The one time we see him wear any eyewear while talking to Pepper is in IM3 (a movie in which Pepper is visibly upset with how Tony uses tech to hide his mental health issues). In this scene, what Tony is wearing is not his usual sunglasses, rather some sort of techie-glasses; and he wears it while he is having an argument with Pepper regarding his mental health, his “tinkering”, and his obsession with his suits as a coping mechanism. As the argument winds down with Tony confessing his fear, insomnia, and anxiety to Pepper, Pepper walks to him and gently removes his ‘techie-glasses’ and leaves him bare... And he looks up to her in gratitude for it.

My diagnosis is that you’ve experienced a severe anxiety attack.

Do you ever think how calmly Tony talks to Pepper when she’s taking the wire out of his chest and how he keeps his voice soft and patient even when he’s going into cardiac arrest because uh… I sure do 

[unicornsparklez80]

Pepper, freaking out: omg what’s happening

Tony: oh nothing I’m just going into cardiac arrest but you’re doing amazing sweetie

TONY STARK + HIS HEART OF GOLD

[hayaosmiyazaki]

Captain America. Steve. I look at your handsome face… into your clear, azure eyes… And, as ever, i feel the same guilty envy. The man’s heart is vast and full of positive emotion, unlike mine. I feel like a snail or a tortoise, lumbering along in my shell, whenever i’m with Steve. So clumsy and so safe next to his grace and daring. – Tony Stark, Tales of Suspense Vol. 1 #1

Tony Comes Home

[edgebug]

christ.

can you imagine though, jarvis all alone in tony’s malibu house? jarvis who of course doesn’t have any physical form at all, jarvis who at this point occupies just the house and tony’s phone—jarvis, who is dependent on tony for everything, who lives essentially in tony’s pocket, suddenly being completely alone for the first time in his silicon life.

and every ten minutes on the dot for days and days and days he accesses the latest news reports, re-calculating and re-calculating tony’s chances at survival, endlessly running the numbers. and nobody told him to do that. tony’s house was empty and dark and nobody told jarvis to keep an eye on the news but he did. jarvis could have just spun down his hard drives and gone into hibernate mode, but he didn’t.

no, he watched the news. he stood vigil. he waited and he hoped that his calculations were wrong. that one day he would be able to say welcome home, sir once more.

just think about what that poor 2012 Tony went through on that day - fighting Loki, fighting Chitauri, flying to space, being shouted back to life by the Hulk, and then being giving a heart attack by…himself
