Irondad fic ideas #154

CW: this one's pretty gruesome. read at your own risk 

Peter is a young child who's been kidnapped. His parents and/or his aunt and uncle were killed and he was taken. Along with a bunch of other little kids, he's been held captive and experimented on.

When the Avengers suddenly bust the kidnapping operation, the kidnappers try at the last second to destroy their research. They gas the small room where the kids are being held.

It's Iron Man who ends up blasting through. What he finds is horrifying. All but one of the children are dead.

The one who's left is just sitting among the bodies, crying, shocked, terrified. Iron Man carries him out of there, then once they're safe from the gas Tony steps out of the suit to comfort the kid while he's given oxygen.

Little 5-year-old Peter Parker imprints on his savior hard.

He just went through an unimaginable amount of trauma, then Iron Man burst through like an avenging angel. This is the first time he's ever felt protected in his memory. Tony holds the crying kid, and the kid can tolerate no one else near him.

This becomes a slight problem when they get back to base. But Tony can't find it in him to let SHIELD take the kid away, let them strip him of this one tiny bit of comfort. He keeps seeing all those other kids when he closes his eyes.

This one needs him right now. And if "right now" eventually becomes "this is my son," well. Who could've predicted that.

rereading the hivebent commentary makes me so annoyed that people are never really willing to analyze the actual effects that alternian culture clearly had on every troll, especially the highbloods. pretty much the only troll who ever actually gets taken in the context of her upbringing is vriska.

no one ever seems willing to think about the character arcs of trolls like equius and terezi, who are also bluebloods with extremely hypocritical and toxic understandings of the people around them-- equius is boiled down to a gross creep who is just like that naturally and definitely didn't get it from his society in any way, whilst terezi is scrubbed of virtually all her flaws and turned into a strange sort of based love interest character who is all about being gay and too cool to be tricked by any of the alternian propaganda. quadrants? classism? how silly! terezi would never believe in stupid shit like that. she's quirky! and GAY!

despite the fact that equius and terezi both obviously have much, much more to their personalities than that-- and the alternian empire is informing way more dangerous things about these kid's beliefs than "kiss annoying people".

Do you think the reason for Brotherhood's popularity level is partially to blame for the original FMA anime having such deep connection and lust between the Elric brothers?

I don't know if either series' popularity was overly impacted by 03's seemingly unintentional queer baiting.

03 is kinda just Like That™, because it focused pretty heavily on character relations more than anything in that version, which, fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you wanna look at it, tended to err a bit on the homoerotic side in areas (the Conqueror of Shamballa movie in particular is an Experience), but I don't think that they meant it like that.

Aro culture is not understanding why people break up if they had been swooning over each other.

trying to explain to people that when i say i'm "vaguely aromantic" i mean that aromanticism is a spectrum and i can, and have, fallen in love and experienced love in the context of dating BUT that i think that what we consider "romance" and the connotations of that idea are such a social construct that it's sorta hard to grasp onto all of it. like love is a real thing but then romance is a pattern of social rituals to express that love according to a script of behaviors, speech, and action... like the concept of dates and kissing and handholding and rituals like asking someone out and all the little "signs" of romance are all just various human actions that are ascribed romantic meaning... I MEAN LIKE okay for example in a standard 2000s buddy comedy movie with 2 male actors, when they do romantic Actions like accidental cuddling or holding hands or breaking up or confessing commitment or taking care of a child that's able to be played as a joke because the joke rests in the assumption that there is no romantic feelings between them, yet they act in a romantic manner. but a shift in intention (e.g. from heteronormative buddy comedy to gay satire comedy) and then you have Romance. it's just. love exists but romance is a social construct. and idk i feel like for me it's sooooo confusing to separate between platonic and romantic love because at the end of the day it's all love and sometimes i do wanna kiss the homies goodnight actually. does that even make sense.

Lord tell me why I'm thinking about companion pieces for Our Little Fires...

[byanyan]

noticing a trend wherein byan is fiercely independent, but once they get close enough with someone, they sometimes lowkey end up a little codependent? not in an incredibly severe way, but also like. obviously not super healthy, either. and i'm not talking specifically romantic relationships, i'm talking platonic ones too. something about them being so deprived of acceptance and love and trusting relationships means they lean harder than they mean to into another person when they finally do fully extend their trust to them, and i think subconsciously that's probably part of why they're so afraid to rely on anyone. —not the only reason, of course, given their mountain of trust and abandonment issues, but i do think part of them recognizes this tendency they have and the potential for them to be hurt by it.

have you ever found a song that elicited such emotions from you that if you can't relate it in some infinitesimal way to something you're into, you know the thing's on a subpar level. that's me with this song

Maybe being a clone doesn't scare me because I had to recreate myself at one point in my life. When I was going through major depression (not like lol depression, but it was very bad), I reached a point where I could not differentiate myself from the depression. Depression seeped into every fiber of my being that I essentially lost everything that made me me. Changing for the better meant scrapping everything I knew. I had to start from scratch and build myself back up piece by piece. It was terrifying. Depression, as bad as it was, became a crutch I could always rely on. It was steady and consistent. It was everything I knew. To let it go meant venturing out into a world that I had no clue what was what anymore. I had to go on blind faith that I would make it through.

I've done it once I probably can do it again.
