lmao so i was just going through my camera roll and clearing some photos out, when i stumbled across this screenshot i took in january of 2020 and…
i’m in shock. i literally don’t know how i forgot this happened, like i was actually astounded when i found this. NEVER forget when steve rogers’ ending was so horrifically out-of character that SEBASTIAN STAN HIMSELF posted a screenshot to instagram of a tweet dogging on his ending. it’s been years and i still haven’t forgiven marvel. i don’t think i ever will.

besides the well-known fact that tony stark's arc reactor literally powered his heart and symbolised his second chance at life, it's been not just alluded to but clearly stated by marvel from the very first iron man film that it represents his heart:
this point is made very clear again when it's used to portray his death:
of course they did this; they're such obvious metaphors that are easy to rely on for beautiful visual storytelling. they undoubtedly were aware of the potential for these scenes and carefully considered them since the beginning.
but you don't really get to use each of these moments more than once if you want them to matter, so they had to choose which one of tony's stories needed to be told through carefully picked parallels.
and who did they use them on?
yup, that's right. steve rogers. steve, who literally ends their painful fight by breaking his heart.
steve, whom tony literally hands his heart and says "here, take this" while he's devastated, disappointed, and at one of the lowest moments of his entire life.
so, platonic, romantic, alterous — the intricacies of his feelings don't even matter. they're only for tony to know.
but what we as an audience know, what we were explicitly told by marvel, is that the feelings tony had for steve were so strong that they were the equivalent of getting his heart actually shattered into pieces, and being reduced to offering your desperate, mourning heart on a platter as a way of saying "take it all, there's nothing left of me that you don't own now".
these were not accidents. we were meant to understand how profound his feelings were. so many things spiraled out of their falling out — the entire universe's faith was at stake as a result. tony was not indifferent to him. his problem was that he felt too much.
tony's achille's heel was always steve rogers, and that will forever be the backbone of the marvel universe.

Proof that Tony Stark is bisexual in the MCU
It is known that 616 Tony is bisexual. If you didn’t know – here’s the page from “Tony Stark: Iron Man (2018) #4”.
But is MCU Tony also bisexual? Let’s find out.
The Avengers:
0:43:10 - seems that Tony watched Rogers' movements at the end of his fight with Loki and liked what he saw.
1:10:08 - “Back off”.
2:08:30 – Sleeping Beauty.
Age of Ultron:
1:52:35 – Rhodey and Tony being a “couple”.
2:10:30 – Nat’s remark.
Civil War:
0:59:50 – huh?
Infinity War:
0:14:35 - Tony didn't know that was Levi.
0:17:08 – Tony noticed Strange’s hair moving.
0:19:15 - Strange's flirting and Tony's reaction.
1:18:50 – Tony and Strange are gazing into each other’s eyes and holding hands.
1:23:45 – again.
Endgame:
0:09:25 – Rogers’ face btw. Is he jealous here?
1:16:30 - Tony is staring at the America’s ass.
1:17:30 – Tony flicks Scott's butt.
1:20:00 – Tony is 100% okay with having a man inside him. Literally.
So what do we have?
He is comfortable touching men and being touched, even if he barely knows them. Even if it’s very gay.
He openly jokes about “gay” things.
He gazes into the eyes of both Steves, and Steves gaze back. Like, pretty often. Even Nat noticed this little habit.
He looks at men. Body, hair, ass. And he doesn’t hide it. That’s not so straight, I’d say.
Conclusion: Tony is bi. He is not latent, not really hidden one, just already in an established relationship with a woman and is faithful to her. He seems to be attracted to some guys though (we can see this towards Rogers and Strange).
Marvel shows it to us, and that’s actually the best we could get here. Because, unfortunately, the real international movie business is not yet ready for Iron Man to have a boyfriend. At least we can say he is canonically bisexual.

carol danvers and steve rogers being friends would be so funny. some villain is like "why don't you both fight me hand to hand without your shield and powers" and steve would be like. putting his shield down and carol's just like "what the fuck you idiot" and blasts the villain to kingdom come

Fic writers, if you're worried that the way you're writing your characters is out of character, remember that the MCU did the ultimate OOC move when they had the guy who said this:
and this:
leave his BFF — who he'd lost for five years and only just got back, and who was that someone with the most shared life experience — and other friends and found family to go back to the past to live that white picket fence life.
