The Devil Works Hard But The Druig Stans On Tumblr Work Harder I Find New Druig Fics Every Single Day

At first glance, this appears to be a scene made to establish Tony’s party and playboy persona. I say it actually shows us who Tony Stark really is.

A reoccurring element in the MCU is other people describing Tony as narcissistic, vain and self-obsessed. They claim that he only cares about himself and that he thinks he’s better than everyone else. An awards ceremony where people openly praise him and his accomplishments, where the spotlight is squarely on him, would be right up his alley. A guy like that would love getting awards and ceremonies in his honor. So why is he in the casino instead?

Because that’s not who Tony Stark really is.

So if he’s not vain, or self-obsessed, what is this scene telling us? Why wouldn’t he want to be praised or acknowledged for his hard work? Because he doesn’t think he deserves it. Tony is very self-deprecating and already experienced a lot of self-loathing before Afghanistan. This scene shows that. I’d say it also shows he had trouble with anxiety long before New York, and this is backed up by the conversation he has with Rhodey here.

Rhodey: You are unbelievable. Tony: Oh, no! Did they rope you into this?! I’m so sorry. Rhodey: Nobody roped me into anything, but they told me if I presented you with an award, you would be deeply honored. Tony: Of course I’d be deeply honored. And it’s you, that’s great! So when do we do it? Rhodey: It’s right here. Here you go. Tony: There it is. That was easy. I’m so sorry. Rhodey: Yeah, it’s okay.

First of all, he’s genuinely sorry for the inconvenience he’s caused his best friend. Then when he learns Rhodey was going to be the one presenting, he’s suddenly much more open to getting this award. Why? Because he knows Rhodey. It isn’t someone who only sees the front Tony puts up; it’s someone who knows the real Tony, not to mention that people you are comfortable with can be a comfort in anxiety-inducing situations. When Tony apologizes a second time, Rhodey says it’s okay, because Rhodey knows all of this. He knows the real reasons why Tony didn’t show up.

Natasha isn’t the only one who pretends to be someone else in the MCU. Tony does, too.

OMG! Val said this in an interview in 2005! I need a minute!!!!

TFOTA Spin-off Duology (?)

Holly Black's Goodreads has a new book listed called 'The Stolen Heir' which is set to release on January 3rd 2023...

Which means this duology is probably set after a time leap. Meaning judecardan have been together, married and ruling for years.

NEW ELFHAME DUOLOGY? JUDECARDAN CRUMBS? JUDECARDAN PROBABLY AS PARENTS? DADDY CARDAN IS COMING

*screams into the void*

my current mood: Star Wars smut

I want to live in a village where…

- The smell of cinnamon and decaying leaves is laced with the wind.

- Flannels and boots are the norm.

- It’s cold 6 months out of the year.

- There are tiny coffee shops that sell specialty drinks and pastries and are warm and smell delicious.

- The leaves turn bright red and orange and rustle in the cool breeze.

- Real pumpkin patches exist under grey skies.

- Real hay rides through haunted fields.

- Scarecrows haunt fields and crows caw loudly in the trees.

- Large cemeteries sit ominously on hills.

- A train rumbles through the mountain valley once and a while.

- There’s always a street carnival or festival during the fall on the weekends.

- There were old fashioned style boutiques and candy shops.

- A bookstore tucked into an alley and filled with dusty old copies of classics as well as new things.

- Halloween was THE holiday.

- Witches sometimes roamed the streets.

- When Halloween rolls around everyone gives each other knowing looks as they pass in the streets.

- Sometimes there’s strange bonfires coming from the mountain side.

i just looked it up and the highest recorded pitch for a softball player is 77mph by monica abbott and i did the math and it would take a 77mph softball pitch the same amount of time to get to home as a 114mph baseball pitch. the fastest recorded baseball pitch is 105mph. furthermore an average highly competitive softball pitch is like 72mph which is the equivalent of a 110mph baseball pitch and softball players hit that commonly and the defense can field it and get the runner out in less than 3 seconds i love women and softball goodbye

EDIT: I have 1 more man to include. The water tribe dilf himself

Hakoda

I will always simp for this man

But if these men came up to me. I would simp for them as well

Cause damn. Why can’t they be in real life?

And I just realized something. They are all firebenders. They got the good genes.
