Thinking about Steve's massive paintings of tony hung up behind his easel

Steve Rogers working on a painting. In the background are two fairly large paintings, one of Tony drinking coffee and seemingly ranting to the observer, and one of Iron Man.

If there's just one piece of wisdom I can impart to everyone, it's that trying to post your way though it almost never works out the way you think it will

it was funny when it was a star wars reference ending at being another word for robot (like saying "droid") and not specifically a derogatory term. but it has been unfunny and weird and racist even within the fandom itself for years

oh yeah and by the way i posted some evil #clancybearer on ao3 that i've been saving since like. june. featuring clancy getting smeared by torch!
archiveofourown.org/works/71664981

The Torchbearer nodded, pulling up a chair to sit across from Clancy. Their knees were touching. He was warm, always warm like a fire. Clancy wouldn’t be surprised if he lit his torches by thought alone. But in his hands was that awful, cold thing, filled with darkness. It’s fine. It’s all fine. He won’t hurt me. Steeling himself, Clancy let his eyes flutter shut and held out his hands, palms up.

One warm palm comes up to cradle the back of his hand, and slick fingertips drag themselves slowly over his palm. It’s cold, like he expected, but he suppresses a shiver. Torch’s touch was so gentle, and his hands were so much bigger than Clancy’s. He exhaled shakily through his teeth as the Torchbearer turned his hand over to paint the backside. His fingertips are starting to go numb. The first casualty from a smearing was always the feeling in his hands; fingers would start twitching by themselves soon, searching for electrical input and finding none. The Torchbearer moved to his other hand, leaving this one hovering strangely in the air. That’s right. Torch is here. It’s not like the other times, Clancy thought, fighting the immediate response of his brain to freeze in place, like he could just disappear if he was still enough. It’s not real. Manually, he monitored his breathing, in and out, to keep himself in the moment. He couldn’t drift off into what this normally felt like, what he used to do back in Dema, how it felt to have Nico’s hands around his throat. And he especially could not think about how it felt to be drowning in the darkness from his dream.

one-two combo damn

two tweets:
"you miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feels the loss."
"It started with two men.
One was Life.
And one was Death."

I know the night will turn to gray
I know the stars will start to fade when all the darkness fades away
We had to steal him from his fate so he could see another day

im not even joking i walked out of a thermodynamics exam that i completely bombed, saw the skin preview, and immediately started hyperventilating on the elevator

v/silas @xigbar.bsky.social · 6d

i got so excited when i saw this new skin that my chest started hurting #xevart #ironman #marvelrivals

Tony Stark in an extravagant powder blue suit jacket. The jacket is open so his arc reactor is plainly visible: a coffin-shaped device in the center of his chest, with wires leading into his skin and rough-looking scars surrounding it. The scars extend down to below his pectorals, where they join with what is assumed to be top surgery scars. He is wearing his red glasses with a little smile on his face.

The same drawing from the previous image, but zoomed out to show Tony's waist and his hands. He is wearing fingerless gloves with repulsors on the top. The image shows a sub-window with the Big Shot Iron Man skin preview in the top right.

Rhodes and Tony in their flightsuits. Rhodes is standing behind Tony, their cheeks pressed together as Tony seemingly twists to kiss Rhodey.
