So I met this person who said "if only his (Tony's) dad was ever actually developed to be actually abusive" and that's bullshit. Howard clearly abused Tony in a lot of ways- emotionally, mentally, physically.

He made Tony drink alcohol when Tony was a literal child, told him he had to be a man. That's how Tony's drinking problem started. Howard forcing a child, his own child, to drink. He told him that drinking will put hair on his chest, and that he had to stop being a sissy. He hit Tony when he saw him playing with toys. He physically abused him for acting his age. Because of Howard, Tony stopped playing with toys. There were only weapons. Tony literally promised him "No toys, just weapons."

In the comics, Howard literally tried to sell Tony to Dracula in exchange of immortality. He died, became a demon and tried to kill his own son in hell. And people are still saying that he tried his best to be a dad and that he failed? My friend, he didn't even try a little. Imagine being that ignorant.

And no, MCU Howard isn't better. Howard literally scarred Tony for his whole life. He didn't let him be a child. He wanted him to be another version of himself. Iron Man 2 tried to show Howard as a good man by making him say "You were my greatest creation" and that was full of shit. First of all, he didn't even try to show Tony that he appreciated him even just a little bit. That man didn't even bothered to tell Tony he loved him even once. And then he recorded himself saying that? You gotta try a little harder if you want your son to think better of you, Howard. Also, saying that your own son is your greatest creation is weird. Tony is his own person. He isn't a machine that Howard made, that man doesn't own him.

Avengers Endgame also tried to make Howard look better and that made me sick. That was awful. Endgame was so bad for that. Tony hugged his abuser, forgave him, and literally thanked him for everything.

Russo brothers, what the hell? What did Tony thank Howard for, exactly? Ignoring him? Starting his drinking problem? Hitting him? Abusing him verbally? Physically? Not letting him be a child for once? Are those the things Tony thanked Howard for?

And don't even get me started on "The kid's not even here yet, and there's nothing I wouldn't do for him." Everything about this sentence is awful. Horrible. Disgusting. Makes me sick. You know why? Because that is a way of saying Tony is the one to blame.

Knowing how Howard treated Tony, this literally means Tony is the one who failed to meet Howard's expectations. Tony's the one who's at fault for the way how Howard abused him. Because he wasn't good enough. Because he wasn't what Howard wanted him to be. If Tony was what Howard expected, Howard wouldn't be so bad with him. But Tony disappointed him, so Howard gave up on him. That's literally what that sentence means. Tony's playing the victim. He's being ungrateful to his dad. Howard's not wrong for the way how he raised Tony, Tony should've known better.

Did you know that Tony, as a fourteen years old child, was so traumatized to the point he built something he called "Stark City"? He built that as an apology to his father. And you know what he was trying to apologize for? Living. He tried to apologize Howard for living and Howard didn't even see it.

Imagine the feeling. Imagine the way how he felt his whole childhood. Abused. Ignored. Depressed. Maybe even suicidal, since he literally regretted being born as a fourteen years old. But yeah, only if Howard was actually developed to be an abusive father.

Fuck you, Russo brothers. Fuck you, Howard apologists.

I love your Emy headcannons. I would love to know more about her as a teenager. Anything. The hangover one was really funny and relatable.

emy obviously learns to drive as a teenager. the only problem is that alessia is not the best driver in the world and freaks out everytime that emy so much as breathes near the steering wheel and leah is overprotective and strict and doesn't trust her to take it out of the driveway. everyone comes in from attempts at driving practice (leah and alessia know their limits, they got her a driving instructor but she needs to practice outside her lessons) either having a panic attack or in tears

emy ends up texting every adult in her life for help. she can't get in a car with either of her mums again. she's traumatised.

Georgia: breaks the satnav somehow, they got lost on country roads with no signal. emilia contemplates how her funeral would go until some very kind farmer comes and saves them.

Katie: they practised in a car park but cars kept interrupting them so katie took them to a field because she learnt on a field and they got stuck in the mud. emilia refuses to go anywhere near the countryside again. main roads only.

Kyra: brings snacks, they make it to a drive-through, order food and just end up eating and gossiping. not productive.

Lia: sees the state of emy's car, spends most of the time teaching emy how to properly clean it. no driving was done.

Keira: lifesaver, gives two amazing lessons but she lives too far from london to practice with regularly and emy is not ready to drive up motorways to visit her

Tooney: again lives too far away but she made a trip to london. she is, like alessia, terrible at driving. emy didn't know who was teaching who

Lotte: teaches her but also spends a lot of time telling her a bike should do her and she lives in london, she doesn't need a car. emy vaguely mentions she doesn't understand the tube map fully and lotte made her pull over so she could teach her because she grew up in london HOW COULD SHE NOT KNOW THIS

Alex Scott: freaks out. thought she could handle it but she can't. they have to pullover after a few minutes because alex is so stressed. emy films her little panic and sends it to the BBC and the next time alex interviews her it's just them debating whether emy left enough space between her and the car in front of her when she braked

Kim Little: originally said no, she didn't know if her heart could handle it but after hearing all of emy's stories she takes pity and teaches her. the best teacher and the only reason emy passed her test

Irondad fic ideas #118

Biodad AU where Howard Stark was a tad more reckless when it came to finding the super soldier serum, including and not limited to using himself as a lab rat (or baby Tony for extra angst)

Maybe it didn’t work, maybe the effects were too low level to make much difference (Tony did manage to survive open heart surgery in a cave with limited infection/healing time...). Either way, this is somehow passed down to Peter.

Peter was never meant to survive the spider bite. But for some reason he did, and the effects were a full blown super serum, with a couple arachnid qualities sprinkled in.

Bonus:

For angst: The other Avengers find out Peter is enhanced, and they assume Tony experimented on his own son.

For Fluff: Peter finally recovers from the sickness after getting bit, and both him and Tony find out about his powers because he underestimates his strength and breaks something big and important in the lab. Cue Peter tears and Tony trying to comfort his son while also wondering what the heck is going on

This fic idea was submitted by @knittyninja!

Additional thoughts from idkb:

@knittyninja gave us two options, but why not both!

Tony and Peter figure out that Peter has powers, and after lots of tears and comfort (for and from both of them) they also figure out why

Tony comes clean about his dad, Peter's grandfather, experimenting on him. Lots of complicated trauma and angst, though, because it looks like those experiments also saved his son's life (and possibly his own in Afghanistan)

When the Avengers learn about Peter's powers and assume the worst of Tony, Peter defends him. Because his dad is nothing like Howard

There is a world of difference between "The struggle in Ukraine triggers a food crisis" and "russia artificially manufactures famine in order to manipulate world politics". I see the first one used all the time, but never the second one by the western media. If you are so afraid of putin that you can't even mention his name, lay down your journalist's certificate, you were clearly not cut for this job

[b-dwolf]

need someone else from the wee woo show to post something else insane please i miss losing my mind over this fighting fires show i am begging

preferably something to relate to buddie but you didn’t hear that from me

[belle-keys]

my toxic trait is thinking i could remove a bullet from a gunshot wound and also patch myself up if it came to it just because i’ve watched all episodes of the punisher

[kittenbradensgf]

obsessed with how in the punisher s2 billy is so completely “oh no im never going to be beautiful ever again these scars ruin me :(“

sweetheart. just get a good foundation/concealer, maybe some setting powder and you’re good to go. they are not that bad.

love people who just look like they bully clits until they're all puffy and throbbing behind closed doors <3

Fandom things I'm looking forward to:

Kingdom Hearts IV and Missing Link

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Final Fantasy IX Remake

Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster or Remake (whichever it is. I've heard both things)

The fourth Madoka Magica movie, whenever that comes out (seriously. Where is it? First it was announced as the Concept movie. Then it was re-announced years later with a new name, and it's still missing)

The Percy Jackson TV show

The Infernal Devices TV show

Maybe the Twilight TV show. Maybe.

The animated Smallville continuation that Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum are working on, whenever it comes out

I was going to put Baron and Toluca on this list (that's, like, a spiritual successor to the OG "Roswell" TV show. Majandra Delfino who played Maria in the show wrote the script, and she and Brendan Fehr who played Michael star in it. They're also planning for more Roswell cameos in later episodes), but it came out and I didn't even know it? But I have no idea how to watch it, though, as I guess it only came out in theaters in Albuquerque. Here's hoping it comes out on DVD or something...

The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

The alleged Firefly reboot

The new Daredevil show

The Batman Part II

The next part in Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies

The DCU, starting with Superman Legacy in 2025

The Five Nights at Freddy's movie and Help Wanted 2

The Iron Lung movie

The TV show that it sounds like Markiplier will be working on after he's done with the Iron Lung movie

The next Bendy and the Ink Machine thing being worked on

MAYBE the Hello Neighbor sequel. I know. I KNOW! (It's really only because the second game had to end on a cliffhanger.)

Five Nights at Candy's 4

Frozen III

Disney's "Wish"

The next and final season of the Clear Card arc of Cardcaptor Sakura

The new Avatar series (the one about the third Avatar in the cycle: the Earth bender)

The live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series, perhaps

The Chosen season 4

One thing about Eddie in the final Upside Down Battle that always seems unrealistic to me is Eddie plays d&d, he’s a Dungeon Master, and DMs are smart yanno, like they always have to be prepared for when the party fucks up their quests so they gotta think quick. Like imo Eddie would’ve known that a spear would be a terrible weapon to fight bats, it’s fine for a Demogorgan because it’s a long ranged melee weapon but the knives would’ve been better. Creatures like this is kinda where Eddie, Dustin and Lucas excel, they spent their childhoods preparing for this moment so I just think that Eddie wouldn’t known.

Hell, when I was watching the scene for the first time even I was coming up with better ideas that they could’ve used. My point is: if the duffer brothers didn’t decide to just kill eddie off for shock value he would have easily survived.

Ever looked at your porn crushes (supposing that’s a thing and not just me watching waaaaay too much to actually recognize actors) and realize you do in fact have a type and you’re kidding yourself to think otherwise 🙃
