steve defending naked tony’s honor
the way tony likes to launch himself face first at steve in order to protect him
tony stark: steve rogers’ personal chauffer
steve carries tony out of burning buildings in the bridal carry
in fact steve guest stars in an iron man comic just to carry tony out of a burning building
the fireman’s carry is actually reserved for the cartoon
marvel funded & created a CGI animation film featuring 71 minutes of them sassing each other and taking names
once upon a time the current writer for the avengers, jonathan hickman (2012-present) implied that tony’s method of choice to make up to steve were blowies
and yes he might be torturing us all but at least he’s man enough to admit that the avengers is really about their relationship
comic writer brian michael bendis on how avengers: prime was framed as an adventure they had to go on to remind them why they love each other so much
here it is in tony’s own words
tony looking like he’s having a religious experience and seen the light or smth while being hugged by steve
and is that surprising i mean there’s an entire comic that beings by framing the narrative arc framed around them
60′s comics written like all the best terrible fanfiction where tony stark refers to steve rogers’ eyes as clear azure and composes poetry about his grace and daring
“i know you believe in the future, but i believe in people. and i choose to believe in your, iron man.”
retro comics were just really gay
animated tv show avengers assemble opens with steve facing off against red skull, his presumed “death” is the catalyst for tony reforming the avengers. their mid-season finale ended with tony “almost dying”
not very pg-13 for a kids’ show if you ask me
it’s really also extremely gay
what’s his username? captain america. what’s his password? captain america. foolproof. no one would ever guess. totally unhackable.
avengers tower: home and HQ of the earth’s mightiest heroes but also the site of the one and only “cap tribute room”
all the best superhero bases have framed portraits of captain america it’s interior designing 101
in fact tony thinks steve’s pretty no matter what skintight navel-bearing costume he’s wearing
tony thinks ultimates cap just so happens to be america’s hottest president
“good morning beloved” to which steve answers without even batting an eye
are they flirting??? was there really another horse?? we just don’t know
“where is here? is this a dream? tell me it is, tony. tell me you can wake me. tell me i’m not going to die in my sleep. don’t let this old soldier just fade away” – marvel comics?? or soap opera love story?? who can even tell the difference???
pictured: assorted superheroes with representatives from the avengers, the fantastic four, the x-men discussing how much tony and steve love each other while in the background steve and tony have a conversation
a married couple and leaders of the next generation of avengers referring to steve and tony as the mother and father of the avengers
sometimes they hold hands
actual canon universe earth-3490 where cis female tony married steve and their marriage helped end the civil war.
“mr. stark, when i woke up in this era, i had no one, nothing. you gave me a purpose, somewhere to belong. you gave me a home.”
tony and steve’s lips have touched bc tony was giving him cPR TO SAVE his life at the risk of his own
tony referring to the day he met steve as the greatest day of his life
civil war: the confession. where tony stark admits to steve rogers’ cold dead body that worse than the equivalent of selling his soul, alienating half of his friends and family from him, destroying his moral integrity combined, the one thing he couldn’t live with was steve being dead
“maybe… maybe there was a reason you had to be on the other side of every argument. how you could be my rudder, steering me when other’s couldn’t… i don’t know if i can do it without you… i certainly won’t do it as well…”
like they’re standing there reincarnated as walking corpses and steve’s missing half his face and they’re still acting like an old married couple
“guess they’ll have to learn to love me. you did.”
they jOKE ABOUT HAVING THE KIND OF ROUGH SEX THAT REQUIRES SAFEWORDS.
why dream when i have all this cold hard reality staring me in the face
