If you hate on Tony Stark or Iron Man you suck. You just suck. If it's constructive criticism of his character or his actions or morals that's different, but if you just hate him cause "he's selfish" or "he's not really a hero" or "he's the worst of the Avengers" then you suck. If not a hero, what is he? He didn't start off as a good guy, but he realizes what he did wrong and changes it, and he does it without completely changing who he is as a person.

Tony Stark may be selfish and an asshole, but that does not make him selfless. He literally sacrifices himself in Avengers, and its not because he thinks he can make it or because he wants attention. He just cares about everyone and the world. He has trust issues and he's worried about himself, but he's also so worried about everyone else. He cares so much for Pepper and Happy and all of the Avengers. He is just scared to express it because bad things tend to happen when he cares about people.

I understand the criticism of him in Civil War, mostly because of how he brings Peter in, but from his pov it's perfectly reasonable. He agrees to the Accords because he is full of guilt. He feels like if he and the other Avengers agree to it the world will be a safer and more just place. They'll have accountability. Honestly it makes perfect sense from a civilian point of view. I'm not saying it was the right call or that Steve was wrong, his pov was perfectly reasonable too, given his history. But then Steve left and took half of Tony's family with him. Then he sided with- for all Tony's seen- a terrorist and the very thing he's trying to stop. Then when Tony finally realizes he's in the wrong, he finds out that Bucky killed his parents (the fact that he was being controlled was irrelevant at that point) and Steve knew about it. Knew about it, talked to Tony several times, and didn't tell him. Tony reacted rashes, but he literally found out that his best friends best friend killed his parents.

The thing about Tony bringing Peter in and not telling him anything is totally reasonable. Peter was just a kid, I know Tony was desperate and that Peter was already fighting bad guys, but it was still a bad call. I do think that Peter was told more than what was shown in the movie, and that he would have agreed with Tony regardless.

Anyway, this was just a really long rant post because everyone hates on Tony or says that there was no way Civil War could be right on both sides. This is not an invitation to hate on Steve or anyone else. It's definitely understandable from both sides unless you Don't Want to see both sides.

Okay I'm listening to Phantom of the Opera and we definitely need a phantom hannibal au. If it already exists can I please get recs?

Like literally:

That's the most Hannibal thing ever

I see people say that Deadpool wouldn't work with Insomniac!Pete because he's too much of a goody-two-shoes, but not only has the second game proven that his veneer of 'nice guy' is every bit as thin as any other Peter Parker's, people also tend to forget that his goody-two-shoes attitude is what draws Wade to him to begin with.

The reason they become friends is because their sense of humour is similar, they're both people who mask (pun not intended) trauma with japery and they have good hearts, their boundaries are just vastly different.

I love insomniac!Pete especially because he feels like a guy who has an earnest desire to do good and be kind, but it doesn't come entirely naturally to him - unlike Miles who just cannot help himself. He has to help or he'll fall apart. Miles will forgive anyone anything, even his worst enemy. Peter struggles.

It's nice to see a Peter who is confident in himself, even though he sometimes forgets how to act like a normal person, who struggles, but ultimately learns from his hardships.

I think Insomniac!Pete would do very well with Deadpool and they might get to push each other to be better, just like they sometimes do in the comics.

Merlin Playlist. Please love it

Same. My heart breaks about it. The angst possibilities are endless. More homeless Stan please 🙏

Girl Help, I can't stop thinking about Stan's drifter years

Merlin and Aurther may have been soul mates, but Lancelot truly loved Merlin and every single detail about him. I ship merthur but I will die on that hill

I'm gonna try and write a poem every day of June. I feel like it'll help keep me motivated during the summer. If it goes well I'll keep going in July. Here's the first:

Arsonist's Lullaby

Laurie and Amy (2019)

2019 is actually my least favorite version of Little Women, but it's so beautiful. It's still so good, just not my favorite

I finished my essay. It's the worst thing I've ever written. I wanted to be rewarded with fanfiction but ao3 is still down. Might cry. Might scream. I need my sad brothers and angsty relationships.

Need to write an essay. I was reading stangst instead. Now ao3 is down. I should be glad I can write my essay without temptation of distraction but I'm just sad. I don't have an excuse for procrastination anymore.
