#carol & tony brotp ok? ok

[3xamenace]

silly fic idea: it's mid-1990's and Peter's in college and working on a Blockbuster. sure, Tony's rich as fuck and even if his father doesn't really approve their relationship, his mother does enough and Tony can shower Peter in money. but Peter likes being independent, he enjoys gifts but he's not a 1950's housewife forced to stay at home and let the man pay all the bills.

one night, a few minutes before closing, there's a crash and suddenly there's a hole on the ceiling. his first thought is that he'll lose his job because of course his boss will blame him for something like a meteorite falling through the roof.

whatever landed almost decapitates him with sci-fi type laser beam that he's pretty sure came from her hand.

great, the last thing he needed was a definitely-not-human-but-human-looking woman dressed up for laser tag to disrupt his Wednesday night.

So last January i started keeping a notes page for recording tags that made me laugh or smile. I was reading through them and realized it been over a year since i started. So i decided to post them to make you all smile too. The fandoms are in no specific order, but i did post my favorite tags at the top of each section. I used the ";" as a break between tags. Ao3 uses "," but several tags included their own "," and "#" made things harder to read so i swapped it out for ";"

These tags are 95% from ao3 fics (many of them from the same fics). The other 5% consist of tumblr tags, fic titles, and the occasional author note/funny fic quote that i loved so much i wrote it down. I dont remember what each fic each tag was from*, so please dont ask for links, but as they're tags you should be able to search them in the ao3 search engine. However if you want specification to which character a tag was referring to, i do remember that.

*im 99% certain these tags were for that fandom

Not fandom specific/i cant remember which fandom

Lost it at the pspspspspspsp-ing

But hmm, how about....Rhodey for the ask game?

My NOTP for them: genuinely i think that most of the people who make rhodey content simply cannot have bad taste. saying that i DO think that sometimes pepper/rhodey can come off as more just pairing the side-characters off instead of actually enjoying the relationship but it ABSOLUTELY can be done well so not that. i think im gonna say rhodey/steve tho. just bc its litterally the only non-obvious thing i can think of that i would not vibe with under at least one circumstance.

My BROTP for them: RHODEYTONY RISE

My OTP for them: see above. there’s no other option. Them. ULTIMATE friends-to-lovers. pining. collage roomates. come ON. (also side-note i did the Math and sometime in november, 2021, in mcu canon, tony will have offically known rhodey longer than any other person. longer than he knew stane. so like. that’s been giving me emotions for a While.)

My second choice pairing for them: rhodey/carol. Them. air force buddies,,,,,,,,,,,  (also @ mcu you cowards i want collage friends rhodey carol content. i want rhodey to be yelling at the sky cira endgame because SPACE KEEPS STEALING HIS FRIENDS STOP IT)

My fluffy pairing for them: ok listen im still saying rhodeytony. you cannot change my mind.

My angsty pairing for them: TAKE A GUESS. TAKE A FUCKING GUESS. 

My favorite poly ship for them: pepper/tony/rhodey. specifically like. listen i have Thots of like,,,, established tony/rhodey, but pepper’s got Feelings (and is Not saying shit abt it) then tony got kidnapped and rhodey and pepper sleep together as like. a comfort thing. and it becomes more than that. and then tony gets home and now there’s a lot to deal with re: all that. listen. it’s good.

My weirdest pairing for them: hot take but fuckin everyone else in the iron squad has been paired up with everyone else somehow, so lets give happy some love. you get pepperony. you get pepper/happy. you get rhodeytony. ive seen happy/tony. so i think there should be rhodey/happy content. why not. lets go bonkers here. long-suffering-but-secretly-delighted-in-tony’s-shenaigians. WILL drive a car directly into assholes. secretly troublemakers. i think it would be fun.

Salty Asks: 2, 5, 7, 12 and 13 for Kate Fuller! 💖💖💖

2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?

So many! It seems like every time I get a BroTP they are a popular OTP and usually one-half of a ship war against my OTP of that fandom. Off the top of my head: Walking Dead - Carol&Daryl The Umbrella Academy - Klaus&Ben Teen Wolf - Stiles&Lydia, and Scott&Issac MCU - Natasha&Clint, and to an extent Steve and Tony. It's less a broship and more a "they have a sibling rivalry with no romantic and/or sexual undertones" but it still semi-counts imo. Game of Thrones - Jaime&Brienne (I love the idea that Jaime's two great loves were both well known for their looks just on opposite ends, but not enough to actively ship them as anything but bros) Community - Troy&Abed, and Jeff&Britta

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

Dean and Castiel from Supernatural, 100%. I don't think I ever would've shipped them romantically, but at this point I'm not even into their friendship. They could've been separated long before then and never spoken again and I would've been a-ok.

7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?

I used to be really into Forced/Accidental Marriage trope, but now... "can't stand" is a bit strongly worded, but will avoid under most circumstances fits well. Unless its subverted somehow. Like I still really want to find a SethKate fic where Kate and Richie got accidentally married (and are perfectly fine with it because they don't think about each other like that and live pretty outside the law anyways, so what does it matter to them what some piece of paper says?) but Seth is acting all butthurt over it.

12. Is there an unpopular arc that you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

I'm sure there is, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. Oo, maybe the Luther/Alison subplot in TUA? I personally love it and hope they get together for real at some point, because overwritten timelines and near-misses don't satisfy me when they are so close to getting together for good!

13. Unpopular opinion about Kate Fuller?

I'm not sure. I know my opinion that Kate, at her core, is a good girl got some heat a couple years ago. That could count as one. I also feel like Kate and Richie have a bond/connection (platonically) post-series that seems to ruffle some feathers. But mostly I just live my happy fandom life and don't pay too much attention to those who disagree.

Rhodey for the character thing!

You. I like you. Giving my boy some much needed love. 

favorite thing about them - his loyalty. He is so solid and steady compared to Tony’s crazy and Tony needs that, and I just love that he never wavers in his loyalty to Tony. 

least favorite thing about them - I can’t think of anything I dislike about Rhodey??? He’s perfect ok. 

favorite line - ‘I’m looking at you, man.’ Ok but here’s WHY. The whole world looks at Tony Stark. But the whole world sees his masks and persona. Rhodey sees him. 

brOTP - Tony Stark

OTP - Tony Stark...or Carol Danvers. 

nOTP - I’m not crazy about Pepper and him, tbh. 

random headcanon - Rhodey refuses to live in Tony’s buildings. He’s seen too many people use Tony and he refuses to be one of them and this--having his own place that doesn’t rely on Tony--is one of those little lines for him. 

unpopular opinion - oohhh. I don’t know that it’s unpopular, but--Rhodey is only War Machine because it’s the best way to keep Tony from doing something idiotic like flying a nuke into space. 

song i associate with them - Oh. Hmm. King and Lionheart, I think. 

favorite picture of them.  

[whycantwegivellove]

Do you have any other ships besides BlackHill?

SO MANY (thank you so much for the ask and if you were expecting a short answer then I am very sorry). When it comes to the MCU, I have 3 tiers (well 4 including BlackHill): god tier, really good, ok, and never.

God tier: BlackHill (I will go down with this ship)

Really good (not as good as BlackHill but I still really like): Tony x Pepper, Nat x Pepper, Maria x Pepper, Thor x Bruce, Carol x Maria Rambeau, Carol x Valkyrie, Steve x Maria Hill (I actually like this more of a brotp, but they would be adorable together in a universe where Nat doesn’t exist and Maria doesn’t exude functional lesbian energy), Scott x Hope, Scott x Luis, Sam x Steve, Clint x Laura (yes I like this one), Mantis x Nebula (adorable sunshine x bad girl trope)

Ok (I’d need some convincing on these): Steve x Sharon, Steve x Peggy, Steve x Bucky, Tony x Doctor Strange, Wanda x Nat, Steve x Nat

Never (over my dead body): Bruce x Nat, Wanda x Vision, Th*rki, St*rker, Clint x Nat (this is a brotp at its finest), Nat x Bucky, Steve x Tony

I might’ve forgotten some, idk. Anyways, what about you?? 

[demelza]

wanda, demelza, clint, tony uwu

😭😭 eva that’s so many ily uwu it’s gonna be long sorry

WANDA:

favorite thing about them: I love how human and flawed she is. I love how she is so powerful but the one that’s holding her back is herself and it’s all about being more confident and forgiving toward herself. Also this is mostly for comics!wanda but i just love the witchcraft and its connection to womanhood and that’s where her power comes from.

least favorite thing about them: obviously there’s a lot wrong with mcu!wanda and i don’t wanna get into it but the whitewashing is pretty bad, and i also wish they would have let her without a love interest for a little while because i want her character to stop being defined by other characters death.

favorite line: “I can’t control their fear. Only my own.”

brOTP: pietro, clint, nat

OTP: bucky (mcu), carol, natasha 

nOTP: vision

random headcanon: wanda is SOOOOO bisexual

unpopular opinion: i mean… she IS the strongest avenger 

song i associate with them: bleed magic - I Don’t Know How But They Found Me

favorite picture of them: 

kevin wada’s illustration with his redesign of her outfit is phenomenal and yeah i could look at it for days

DEMELZA:

favorite thing about them: she’s just an angel like… it’s the core of her character, she’s so sweet and good. but also she’s a badass and she’s isn’t scared to fight and speak out for herself and dirty her hands uwu

least favorite thing about them: she has a meh taste in men sdjhfkgj

favorite line: “I’m fierce and proud and steadfast and true and i’ll not settle for second best.” 

brOTP: caroline, verity, dwight, SAM AND DRAKE, garrick lmao

OTP: ross (sadly dsjhfk), caroline

nOTP: hugh

random headcanon: (ok so other than demelza is bi bc it can’t be my headcanon for everyone) i haven’t read the books so idk if this is actually true but demelza is so much like her mom, physically and as a person

unpopular opinion: sleeping with hugh was totally fair game

song i associate with them: from eden - hozier 

favorite picture of them:

i love s1 demelza so much and this shot might be the moment i fell in love

CLINT:

favorite thing about them: i relate to him a hell lot, i love that he’s a mess but also a really really good guy

least favorite thing about them: i don’t like some of what they did with him in the movies, i wish at least they made him deaf (and i still think it could happen). oh also i don’t think he’s treated the women in his life always very well…

favorite line: “Okay… this looks bad”

brOTP: natasha, wanda and pietro in particular, but also every avengers. OH and kate and lucky

OTP: bucky sdjhfgf, natasha

nOTP: idk?? 

random headcanon: he likes to be in relationships with strong people that could murder him and it’s actually not that many people

unpopular opinion: i didn’t hate EVERYTHING that they did with him in the movies. i liked his mentor relationship to wanda and pietro. i liked the farm. i even liked him and nat in the first avengers. And as for comics!clint i don’t think he is a complete clueless disaster like some people make it seem, like he’s still a fully grown man and it kinda annoys me sometimes how the fandom views him

song i associate with them: let’s go surfing - the drums

favorite picture of them: tbh anything from matt fraction’s run

TONY:

favorite thing about them: i love his personality, his guilt and his issues, the fact that he is so smart and generous and just… he’s so cool 

least favorite thing about them: most of what i don’t like is from civil war bc i hate conflict dhsjlkf. oh and there’s things in what his character represents that i have problems with but it’s the case with most comic book characters lmao

favorite line: “The truth is… i am Iron Man.”

brOTP: steve, nat, nebula, peter, all the avengers tbh

OTP: steve, pepper

nOTP: peter or any minor obviously ew

random headcanon: the person who gets tony the most out of all the avengers is natasha. they have a very particular and strong friendship that took them both by surprise.

unpopular opinion: idk what’s popular for half of the fandom for tony is unpopular for the other half lol. so just an opinion? tony wasn’t wrong in cw, and his reaction toward bucky was understandable

song i associate with them: college and electric youth - a real hero

favorite picture of them: 

i really don’t know how to pick a favorite so… i really like tony from this run of guardians of the galaxy and it’s one of the rare comics i own :D

thank you love
