that im1 Look when tony is in the workshop adjusting the in-progress iron man gauntlet after the gala is just…. just…… the Most.

tony arriving home from a big public event, hurt, and he sheds part of the armor he’d been wearing I MEAN his dinner jacket and replaces it with a part of the armor that he’s currently working on, one that’s supposed to mean something good, then he uses it to shatter his OWN REFLECTION before leaping headfirst into his first iron man mission!!! that’s!!!!!!! THATS JUST!!!!!! at that moment he’s literally part Tony Stark(TM) The Socialite, and Tony Stark the Troubled Grease Monkey, and Tony Stark the Knight-in-Progress!!! he’s ALL THE TONY STARK!!!! VISUALLY ON SCREEN SIMULTANEOUSLY!!!!

THE PAIN OF IT!!! THE POETRY!!! THE TONY STARK

My two yr old is looking through a book about prehistoric art and she saw a picture of those cave painting of hands and she held up her own and said "hand!" And I gotta be honest. That hit

[areiton]

the fact that the first time tony ever puts the suit on he immediately tries to break the altitude record for fixed wing flight. zero tests just "idk let's see if this thing can make it past 85 thousand feet" what is WRONG WITH HIM

On the subject about parents needing to control their child's reading and invade their privacy in order to "protect" them from "inappropriate material:

Until I was in....college? At least? The vast, vast majority of the books I read were either a) assigned by my school or b) (the vast majority of my reading) provided to me by my mother.

My mom is a librarian. She filled our rooms with books, picked especially for us. She pointed out books on the shelves in our home library (separate from our bedroom shelves) that she thought we would like. She bought us books for birthdays, Christmas, and just stacks of recommendations. She once paid me $10 to read one of the Cirque Du Freak books because she said I needed "to be exposed to bad literature."

She respected my privacy in room, didn't go through my belongings. She explicitly pointed out to us that she wouldn't know if we took a particular book of the shelf, as long as we returned it, if we didn't want her to know we were reading it. She purposely brought us books that she didn't care for herself, because she thought we might find them valuable or enjoyable.

And if we wanted to read something she thought might upset or disturb us, she would explain why. She wouldn't stop us from reading it - just ask us to check in with her, to talk through it.

And so when I read something that upset or disturbed me, I would go to her. She would listen and talk through it with me.

If she said she didn't think I would like something, or that a book might disturb me, or that she thought I should wait until I was older, I listened to her.

She didn't need restrictions or control to protect me. Because she proved I could trust her.

Controlling kids is never about "protecting" them. It's just about control.

I truly truly believe that the most important thing you can do in fandom is be a cheerleader. comment on fics. reblog art and rave in the tags. support the people making the things you want to see. this is how you keep a fandom alive. this is how you get more of what you want. you never know: that person could have decided to make more just because you liked it.

FAVORITE CHARACTER MEME: Steve Rogers + Captain America: The Winter Soldier [2/5 Movies]

“Captain America is an icon who believes in transparency and justice, not in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s preemptive strikes or Nick Fury’s attempts to save people from themselves at any cost. His values do not evolve to the fit the world. But sometimes, the world evolves to fit him.” - Marie Javins, The Art of Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Star Trek conventions are so funny. After I got an autograph from somebody, I went to an empty table nearby so I could set my stuff down for a second while I put my autograph in a protective sleeve, and I hear somebody yell at Ethan Peck (whose table is across from the empty table) "HEY HOT SPOCK!" and I turn around because I want to know who the fuck just said that. And it was Jonathan Frakes.

The fic where Steve runs off to the cave while Tony is in New York is One Man Army by Captain Panda

Hi, I’m just wondering if you have any Stony fics where Steve is a bit morally grey? Like, he’s on the good side but won’t follow order or have a bit of an unhinged side to him. Or if there is a masterlist that fit this theme.

I’m also looking for a Stony fic that is a bit similar, but I can’t remember the name. What I do remember from it is that Steve ran away to the cave (where Tony had been kidnapped to) to kill everyone who had hurt Tony. Tony was in New York and had no idea.

I remember reading it on ao3 years ago but can’t fint it anymore. Steve was a bit unhinged in this story but he loved Tony and would do these thing.

Morally Grey Steve:

It's Always You, (ao3) - violetsteve steve/tony T, 2k

Summary: “You what, Steve? You wanted to see if I still cared? If showing up out of the blue covered in blood would get some kind of reaction out of me? If I still woke up in the middle of the night terrified that whatever unnamed thing you do is gonna end up killing you? If the thought of you winding up in a ditch somewhere kept me up at night? Because it does!” More than anything, Tony wanted to pull himself away—rip himself out of Steve’s grip and tell him to fuck off—but Tony was so, so very weak when it came to Steve Rogers, so all he ended up doing was bringing his own hands up to twist into the front of Steve’s ruined shirt. “Please, Steve,” Tony choked out, squeezing his eyes shut as his fists clenched harder, the knuckles turning white. “You can’t keep doing this to me, I can’t-”

“I love you.”

Tony felt his whole body go rigid, his eyes snapping open to meet Steve’s gaze as his breath caught in his throat.

“What?” He breathed.

Pain of Love Lasts a Lifetime (ao3) - UisceOneLove steve/tony M, 933

Summary: This wasn't what Steve meant to have happen. He couldn't fix this.

Why did Tony think that he could?

Trapped in a Gilded Cage (ao3) - UisceOneLove steve/tony T, 1k

Summary: It's a special night for Tony and Steve. Now if only Steve would accept it that way.

and I was unable to find the fic you were looking for :(
