Sometimes I think about Tony's life before Iron Man and I just feel bad for that man.
He spent his entire childhoods in a house where he wasn't loved for who he was. His dad didn't payed attention to him and mentally abused him (idk if in the MCU he was physically abused too, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was), his Mother- even if she wasn't bad and was lovely- always tried to justify Howard's action towards him (during the BARF scene we can see an example of her actions). Living in a house like this, where you feel no one is at your side is exhausting. Where everyone expect from you the best, and even if you try it, you won't ever be enough for your parents.
He entered at MIT at only fourteen, so that means (I guess) he never went to school with his peers. At seven years old he enters at the Philips Academy and it's a secondary school. Despite his outgoing behaviour, I don't think a little kid is comfortable around people much older. I don't think he even had real friends before going to MIT because even if he was more mature than his age, I don't believe a lot of teenagers or pre teens were ready to befriend with a kid.
So, no friends at school and not a good relationship with his family. He must have felt lonely for 14 years, and when he goes to MIT he decides to change. He puts a mask on and begins his new behaviour. He starts going to parties, to drink and to act cool around people to be liked and appreciated. I remember reading some fake testimonials that Marvel made to honorate the release of Iron Man 3, testimonials about how some ex students remembered Tony at MIT and two of them said:
“No one really knew him, he was just a rich kid. Everyone wanted him around, though, because he'd always bring something fun for the party.”
“I remember him at after-parties on Thayer Street. He was up later than anyone else. But you could always get a ride home with him, because he always had a car.”
No one knows the real him because that's what he does: he hides him self behind parties, fun and this kind of stuff to just be noticed by someone. Some people might say that he just wants to be at the centre of the attention, and yes that's true and it is a bad thing, but ever wondered why? Imagine being a kid, who has no friends, who's father hates you and you feel like no one will ever love you, until you find a way to be finally appreciated. You found a way to have someone who notices you after years of loneliness. I can't speak for everyone, but I would have done the same thing.
He keeps doing this for years and years. He lost his parents, he lost Jarvis and he has to take responsibility for his father's company at 21. He doesn't want that, he just wants to have fun and to distract him self from the reality because half of his life, at the time, was just empty, with no one taking care of him. So he practically leaves the company to Obadiah and he just spends more than 10 years trying to fill that void.
Why do you think he was a playboy?
Now... I don't know if that could be possible in the MCU, but in the comics he was assaulted at fourteen by a woman who was way older thank him That was the first time ever he was touched by someone like that, and even if he was a genius I wouldn't be too surprised (again) to find out he was taking refuge from his problems in s*x. He probably thought that was love, that the only reason someone could really love him was to make s*x with them and to make them feel pleasured (we could apply this logic even if he wasn't assaulted). I can think of other fictional characters who are Playboys (Barney Stinson from "how I met your mother" for example) in which is heavily implied that the only reason they act that way is because they need to feel loved.
Ten years of doing this, and you think he would be able to recover? Ofc no.
He has Rhodey, He has Pepper, He has Happy (and he has Obadiah but we don't talk about that man in this house), He has moneys, fame, he can finally have fun, he can drink and have all the women he wants. His life seems perfect, but we all know that's a lie.
He has everything, but he still has nothing, as Yinsen said.
And Tony, after being kidnapped for three months knows that. He knows his whole life was empty at that point. He said it him self when Yinsen asked him if he had a family out the cave. He just said no, he thinks no one is waiting for him to come back. For 38 years of his life he had nothing to live for, and even though we know how much his friends cared about him, he's not aware of that because he thinks they care for the mask he created for him self when he was young. At the age of 38, he still thinks no one could ever love the real him, because he doesn't love him self.
That's why I hate when people says he's immature, narcissistic and egocentric. Is he aware he is a genius? Yes. It's not bad to know that, especially when everyone expected him to be one since he was born. But that doesn't mean he's narcissistic. He acts like he's better than everyone else, but in reality he feels like the worst person ever. How can a narcissistic person think how their girlfriend deserves so much better than him? (As he said in Iron man 3). How can someone be egocentric and then puts other's life before him every single time, or when he's one of the few who cared for everyone, and who was ready to sacrifice himself for a world who never loved him? How can people even assume he thinks he's better than everyone when he admits himself he's just a man in a tin can?
If you can't see that during all the movies that he covers him self with an armour- not iron man, an INVISIBLE ARMOUR made of humour, sarcasm and fake self-esteem- to protect him self from further pain, then I suggest you to rewatch the movies.
Tony Stark is one of the most human and well written characters in the MCU, it's sad that not a lot of fans (and almost everyone in the marvel universe as well) can't see that.

((You know, now that I have watched the Iron-Man Movies, I can confidently say this! To anyone that said that recalled Tony being homophobic because of something he said in the movies, fuck off, because that is not true at all! That is straight up lying! I saw those movies and there wasn't a damn thing he said that was homophobic! The only thing I can think of as to what they meant was the whole, "I'll send you a bar of soap." line. I know there's an issue with those phrases as of late with the implications of LGBTQ+, but here's the thing, when people usually say that type of line, it's more about dark humor than sexuality. Which falls more in line with what Tony meant with that line, dark humor! Anyone looking more into than needed, is straining their eyes. Not to mention, context is important! He was interrogating the villain of the story that just tried to kill him and at least Pepper in broad daylight! Did they expect him to be nice while questioning him? Because I didn't.))
((First of all, I didn’t even know people said that about him but whatever. This is the same man ~70% of the fandom ships with another man, but okay.
Secondly, I’m thoroughly inclined to agree with you, Anon. Tony can have a dark sense of humor, and I would say that was the source of that particular statement.
Thirdly, are people seriously still nitpicking over Tony’s actions and words and stuff? It’s 2023, y’all. Can we leave Tony alone now? Give him some peace? I think he’s more than earned it.
Sorry, gang, I already saw something earlier about Tony’s unfair treatment that got me all rattled and defensive on his behalf to begin with and now this.
My frustration is not directed at you, Anon. You’re fine; please don’t misunderstand me.
I’m just disappointed in how people treat him, and he holds a special place in my heart. It hurts to think about.
We stan Tony Stark in this house ❤️💛))

Tony : I tried to write ‘I'm a functional adult’ but my phone changed it to ‘fictional adult’ and i feel like that’s more accurate.

Introduction post.
My name is Blank and I use any pronouns. I'm 18+ and a die-hard Tony Stark stan and Agatha Harkness stan.
This blog explores my thoughts throughout the entirety of the MCU in no particular order.
Expect a lot of rambling and cursing.
DNI: if you use any slurs of any kind (q slur, t slur, r slur, etc), team cap stans (anyone who sided with Steve in CW, alternatively anyone who defends anyone on team cap- i.e Wanda, Steve, etc), TERF, SWERF, radfem, etc.

Lol bruh. Tony Stark is a jerk, Kit.
"Wait wait wait. What did you say? You better meant in a good way, which is dubious.
First of all, why do you come and tell me that anon? I don't like telling people they're wrong but, this is just. Ughhh, like how?
Tony Stark made mistakes, yes. But he learns from them and deep inside cares even if it's not noticeable. He's a good man and you can't just disrespect him like that!"

Aleph, and the Things We Can't Measure
Chapter 4
Smoke curls in his lungs like a long-lost friend. The air is thick with it, heady and warm. Bodies wade through the crowd, hands circling wrists like a lifeline. Something shitty plays too loud from the speakers; He can feel the bass under his fingers where they wrap around the banister. A pretty brunette presses into him, smelling like spice and unfamiliarity. She looks nothing like Steve. Tony tries to want her.
Heat chews at Tony’s collar. Sweat beads at the nape of his neck. It’s too crowded in here. The girl’s cheeks are pale as she shouts something he can’t hear over the noise. He shakes his head, mouthing his confusion at her. She just smiles, tugs at his palm with manicured fingers and drags him into the bathroom.
The door shuts with too much effort, catching unevenly on the doorframe. She laughs, so he does too. She’s wearing lipstick, something red enough it’ll stain. Tony closes his eyes as she nips behind his ears.
“It’s so hot that I’m making out with a Stark,” she breathes into his ear, warm breath smelling of alcohol as she kisses at his skin.

Tony takes his Brooklyn's boys to a gala with him. The Brooklyn's boys meet Tony's worst ex for the first time...It goes as well as it could be.
Ty: I never expected to see that it's true that you've been sleeping with not just one, but two national heros, Tony! If I knew back then how good of a slut you were-
Tony: *Watches as his boyfriends get ready for a fight* I would shut up right now if I were you.
Ty: *Ignores him* -I would've never cheated on you with that girl.
Steve: You did what?
Tony: Oh my god, STEVE NO.
Bucky: Steve YES!
Ty: *Keeps talking shit*
Steve: You're done *Pulls out a bat from God knows where*
Tumblr media
Tiberius Stone didn't see that coming.
He really should've, tho.
Bucky doesn't feel guilty at all.
Steve pretends to be, but we all know that's not true.
He would do it again.
Tony is so done (and so in love) with both of them.
