#really any mega huge ship tag that is now mostly dead

[gibbearish]

btw the way you curb the "worlds most enticing button" urge is to give into it by feeding it red herrings. filter a few boring tags and a few tags for things that are dumb/funny so that the button isnt always as enticing, sometimes its just holding some post abt characters you dont care abt. and sometimes it is a fun surprise and that satisfies the beast enough that the actually upsetting ones arent as enticing either

Some thoughts on the potential (lack of) future for this blog. Spoiler for Avengers 4 (a big one), do not enter if you don’t want to know

So in some magazine G. Paltrow spolied a very spoilery thing that’s gonna happen(?) in Avengers 4. It has to do with That Scene. 

She says something like: Tony and Pepper have come a long way from her being his secretary to having a child together. 

As you well know that’s super mega, hugely opposite of what I want wrt the direction of MCU. And now I’m thinking what to do. Because this is the kind of thing that would usually make a canon dead to me. I don’t ship married people and I especially don’t ship married people with children. 

Right now I realize I’m super angry, so I don’t want to make any rash decisions. But my mental process atm is this: MCU in this case is out, other canons aren’t out. But, DO I want to spend my time on tumblr where a lot of people, some with whom I’m in contact through mutuals etc. are ok with this? Who will be casually discussing it and it’ll be inescapable? Short answer, no. 

If this spoiler is incontrovertible truth, then spending time here on tumblr in the following year or so would be really hard on me. I’d probably have a very irresistible urge to rant about this... thing, and adjacent issues, and with that I’d reflect badly on stevetony as a ship itself. 

It’s actually been pretty hard for me not to rant on the daily since I watched IW. But the initial idea of this blog was to mostly reblog stuff by stevetony artists and other creatives, who’ve over the past week been doing a gr8 job making me less salty. But I can’t really count on that for an entire year. I definitely can’t count on keeping my cool. And IW did nothing to help tide me over.

I never really talked about this too much but I really really hate this idea MCU apparently decided to go with. I’m strongly against it for both Steve and Tony. The hate is strong. From like... meta standpoints that I can’t really explain without whipping out all my “documents”. In short, it’s very much a dealbreaker.

This in no way means I’m gonna stop shipping it, just that instead of doing this blog, I’ll do what I did for years before starting it, ship it by myself, try my hand at fanworks, sometimes lose hours on youtube searching for just the right stony+song combo, pixiv, google search even - when too desperate for some new arts... and so on. 

Anyway, I’m not really sure yet what I’m gonna do. A year or more off tumblr is a big thing, you know? You leave for long enough, you never come back. But I wanted to tell you guys that I am now seriously considering it. Just in case I see something in the tags that makes me rage quit. :)
