A Buncha Idiots Found My Pro Tony/anti Steve Post Because They Can't Stay Out Of Tags That Upset Them

I think something that people forget about Tony Stark is that he was incredibly humble.

Now, before you click off in rage, let's define humility.

Maya Angelou defines humility as "Humility is knowing your place in the world. It’s understanding that you are not the first person who has ever done anything important." C.S. Lewis defines humility as "not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less."

We can get humility and self-deprecation skewed very easily. Tony has both, admittedly, as well as a cocky streak - but his interactions with people are incredibly humble. He is not threatened by people who are as smart as him, in fact he looks to hire them and get them on his team. He is not intimidated by stronger men, in fact - he hopes to fund them (the Avengers, hello!) and work with them. Tony Stark does not suffer from short-man syndrome, nor does he have a jealous streak in him. He is aware of his place in the world, he thinks of others' needs before his own (even if sometimes he misinterprets those needs) and he is not threatened by people who are at his level. I think sometimes the fandom forgets that.

was it absolutely necessary to absolutely obliterate my heart?

Before Tony died, he never really discussed how to pass down his position in SI. Of course, he and Pepper had discussed at length that Morgan probably wouldn’t be interested. Morgan had never shown any interest in Tony or Peppers job, beyond rummaging through boxes of completed projects. Tony had been adamant that Morgan never be pressured into the company.

It must have never come up. Tony never had a protégé, had never discussed anything about the company’s future if he died to Peppers memory.

But that won’t stand with the board. Pepper is getting older, she wants more time with her daughter, and she can’t be CEO forever. But the board insists that SI is a family business, and a family member must be next in line, for publicity sake. Gotta love some nepotism, apparently.

While rifling through Tony’s old journals, Pepper finds something that gives her an idea: the name of a kid Tony used to send letters back and forth with. Apparently Tony worked with the kid wayyyy back, and they kept in touch. Harley even showed up to the funeral.

So Pepper invites Harley over, and they come up with a plan…

(A year later, Peter watches on a coffee shop TV as Pepper announces at a press conference that Tony secretly had a protégé: Harley Keener. Pepper discusses how the secret was only for those closest to Tony, but as Harley’s role expands, the public can now know.

Peter spends the walk back to his apartment trying to remember if he ever heard the name before, feeling sick to his stomach. Maybe he hadn’t been as close to Tony as he thought… maybe the spell wasn’t to blame for everything…)

what- no i didn’t say anything- *pain*

Merlin hates Uther for many reasons. He’s hateful, vengeful, short sighted and hypocritical about magic. He solves most of his problems with violence. He never truly trusts anyone and is loyal to no one.

But what Merlin hates the most is that he never tells Arthur that he’s proud of him or hugs him or comforts him when everything is going wrong. He just dumps the weight of a Kingdom and his own failings on the shoulders of his barely adult son.

Now, Merlin has to go from ‘fuck this spoiled prat’ to ‘I am this clotpole’s only source of emotional validation and comfort’ to ‘the King ruined a perfectly decent cabbagehead and I will kill him myself if he ruins all the work I’ve done to get Arthur to a place where he can even admit we’re friends.’

Gwaine: Listen up, lads, I've got a great idea-

Elyan: No.

Gwaine: You didn't even let me-

Lancelot: No.

Gwaine: But I-

Percival: No.

Gwaine: *gasp* Et tu, Percy?

Leon: *grabs Gwaine by the tunic and points at the sign on the wall*

Leon: You see that? "It Has Been 27 Days Since Our Last Disaster." Three more days, and Guinevere will make us cake.

Leon, shaking Gwaine for emphasis: And - I - want - that - cake.

I think you’re a fool if you think Tony should have acted rationally after finding out his parents were murdered, watch said murder, have the killer right there and have your “ I don’t like when my teammates hide things from me” teammate right there who had known this entire time, never saying anything.

No one would be thinking rationally in that moment .

do you ever just find a song that is everything that you never needed and you’re just listening for the first time and you tear up and you have to stop everything and just listen because you feel your soul heal just a little bit?

“this ship isn’t canon” to YOU. I, however, am delusional
