Dear Subconcious: Thanks

I dreamed a perfectly worky AU where Tony was an artist who made occasionally sentient sculpture robots, but sold the mess he made while making them. Like, he'd keep Dummy and sell a sheet full of grease and dust and scraps artistically arranged called 'Creation v 1.0' or something. Or he'd do some complete piss take of modern art - including literal piss - and then sell it for tons of money. Bad boy modern artist dude.

Lived in a hotel. Owned it. Sort of artist in residence.

And then Tony heard the guy I had a crush on in high school was there and tried chatting him up.
Which worked.
Which clearly explains why nothing ever happened with crush guy in high school.


Dear Subconscious: Thanks! I... pretty much mean that this time? With added *facepalm*.

(Dear Crush Guy from High School (because you never know, this is the internet): Sorry? But hey, Tony Stark!)



Thinking of this as an AU is leading to weird crashes of realities about blond artists called Steve.

I don't think I'll be writing this AU, too weird.

More Iron Man and Avengers thoughts

briefly on Captain America AUs: I'm finding it actually somewhat disturbing when people update Steve just by changing which war he's been in. Because there's nothing in our lifetimes that's like World War II. Just changing the dates and going 'hmmm, what war are we up to now?' ignores the ethical complexities entirely. And it ignores them in a way I worry Captain America could, like using him as propaganda for all the wars ever, like trying to make every war out to be nazis and self defence. It's just wrong.


at great length on Iron Man movies: Watched both movies yesterday with mum.

Oh, Tony. *sighs*

I read a lot of fic, and a lot of fic is about how awesome and wonderful and giving and generous and fun he is, and, well, yeah, but... dude is also a dick. ( Read more... )

Tony and his friends are a big tangle and they're only just starting to sort themselves out.

If 'generous and supportive friend' turns out to be one of Tony's good qualities, then yaays. And I can see that happening. He's already a self sacrificing team mate. He donates and gives stuff away. And he designs stuff for the team. So, yeah, he'll become that.

But he hasn't been entirely good to his friends up until now.

Maybe Pepper can get the best of the new and improved him... ( Read more... )

My fic preferences are pretty consistent, soldier/scientist m/m saving the world. So possibly I'm reading everything only in the ways that set up my favourite pairings. Buuuuut... that's what I'm seeing.




If I applied this much brain to college I'd believe I'd actually pass this year.
