If Pepper Potts Had A Fan Club In Stark Industries (ficlet/headcanon)
Sometimes Pepper would find cups of her favorite coffee at her spot at board meetings, or various flavors of muffins left on her desk (there never was a strawberry one). They were always accompanied with a little thank you card or note. The first few times, she brushed it off, assuming that someone accidentally left their food there. Though soon it became obvious that they were not coincidental at all; they were left there deliberately for her. Well, her name was on the cards.
The first person she questioned was her boss. Tony sometimes did things like that with out thinking it would be a good idea to mention it to anyone, or maybe he was trying to pull some sort of prank. However he seemed genuinely puzzled at the food items, poking at the cupcake on her desk.
"Pep Pep, you didn't get me one too?" He whined. Pepper striked him out from her list, and was left with no one else ask.
The mysterious gift giver (givers? The handwriting kept changing-) kept leaving things for her, and ignoring the food seemed like a waste. They seemed harmless, so she took the risk of trying a truffle she found at one of her offices. She didn't immediately get sick from them, and was fine for the following few days, so she deemed them safe.
After her initial cautiousness, she actually felt flattered, and sometimes thankful, as her busy schedule meant that sometimes she didn't have time to get food. The days carried on, and the gifts were becoming a normal part of her routine. She still didn't know who keeps leaving her things, but they weren't doing any harm so she felt it wasn't important enough to bother the security staff with checking the security tapes.
After she became the CEO, this routine changed slightly. Instead of anonymous gifts, all sorts of people actually went up to her with the presents. They would approach shy and awestruck, before giving her the cappuccino/sandwich/doughnut in their hands. Then they would stutter out their thanks and admiration to a bewildered yet amused Pepper. She thought it was honestly kind of cute.
Pepper mentioned it to Tony again, and he would sometimes be lurking off at the side when someone approached her with a gift.
"Looks like someone got quite a fan club going on." After the employee left, Tony wrapped an arm around her shoulder to peer at the coffee. "Honestly about time."
"Is that was this is?" Pepper leaned back into him while Tony gave her a small peck on her ear. "Why would I have a club? What have I done?"
"Pepper, you have done so much for us, for me, for your employees.  Everyone looks up to you. Is it weird that they'll try to show a little appreciation back? You deserve the world, light of my life."
Pepper contemplated. Maybe she does deserve it.

I have a good analogy for anti-tony stark people who like steve rogers.
Steve is like Hercules in Disney's Hercules.
Tumblr media
And Tonky Stank is like Hades in Disney's Hercules.
Tumblr media
And somehow Meg can represent both Peggy Carter and Pepper Potts. Peggy Carter is in love with Hercules or Steve Rogers. Pepper Potts is trapped in an abusive relationship with Tonky Stank or Hades.
And yes, I know Meg sold her soul to save her ex. Technically Hades did abuse her though. He would take and add years onto her sentence. if she disobeyed him or failed him, he would add years. If she got him what he needed, he would take years off. Its kind of like how Pepper was basically harassed into loving Tonky Stank. (If that's not an r/nice guy fantasy I don't know what is.) In Iron man 1, he forced her to dance with him and had no respect for her. In Iron man 2, he and pepper get together after he basically forces her to run his company. And in Iron man.3, he was the reason she almost died. In the avengers, she didnt have much screentime. In age of Ultron, she had no screentime. In Captian America: Civil War (which he should have been so much less involved in) he and Pepper took a break (yaaaaaaay) and in infinity war...how did Angie put it...BAM! She's engaged. Next day she's married and living in Armonk. (I know that didn't happen, but you think you know people.) And in endgame they have a kid who was kind of cute but mostly there to excuse tonkys actions towards pepper for the last 13 years. And Tony didn't lose shit from the snap. Most tonkies say he lost Peter. Guess what? He isn't Peter's father. Peter was a teenage boy who he involved in his bullsh*t and got emotionally attached to without meaning to.
Steve and Peggy's life was like Hercules and Meg at the end of Hercules.
And...
Tonky Stank ran the unnnnnnnnnnnnderworld.
Its a pretty well thought out analogy.
Tonky stans need not reply.
Anyone else, thoughts?

Pepperony Week Day Seven- AU
A/N: This will be a Nanny AU. Hope you enjoy and I hope you all had an amazing Pepperony Week!
**
Everyone hits rock bottom sometime.
For Pepper Potts, rock bottom was standing on the porch of an Upper East Side Manhattan townhouse ready to hock cheap makeup products to another bored housewife. Either that or get the door slammed in her face. Currently, she had a three to ten ratio.
"This is why you don't take a job in your cheating boyfriend's law office," she told herself again, just in case she didn't get the message the other six thousand times. "This is also why you don't date cheaters."
She knocked on the door and listened for footsteps. A tall man with blonde hair and blue eyes answered. He was dressed in what she'd come to find was a standard butler uniform. Great. One more door in the face.
"Hello," Pepper said, her well-rehearsed sales pitch ready to go. "My name is Virginia Potts, and-"
"Yes, we've been expecting you. Right this way, please." The butler stood aside, motioning for Pepper to come in.
She gripped the make-up case tighter, blinking stupidly for a moment as she processed the wide expanse of white marble interior and the well-dressed British man expectantly watching her.
"Uh… okay." There was a script for this, but she'd only skimmed it.
Entering the home was like walking into a cave. As Pepper took in the winding staircase and cathedral ceiling, she felt like going back outside just to check that the house wasn't bigger on the inside. Through one doorway was a dining room with a table built for twelve and an elegant chandelier. The living room was to the left. A boy sat on an onyx couch by the fireplace. It crackled merrily even though it was early August. The flow of central air didn't seem to be coming from a vent. At least, not one Pepper could see.
As she marveled at the sheer scope of this fairy tale dream home, the boy glanced up from his book. "Who's this?"
His tone wasn't rude, but it wasn't warm either. Pepper's first impression of the boy was aloofness, a common trait among teenagers if she remembered correctly.
"This is Virginia Potts, Harley," the butler said. "She's here to interview for the nanny position."
He glanced at Pepper to confirm. As she was now occupied with a decorative mirror on the wall which she was sure she'd seen in a movie somewhere, all she could do was nod her head. She barely heard the exchange anyway.
"I'll let Mr. Stark know you've arrived," he said, gliding down the hall as graceful as a gazelle. "If you'll wait one moment please."
There were no chairs anywhere except in the living room. The boy had returned to his book and didn't acknowledge Pepper when she stepped over the threshold onto the lushly carpeted floor. She didn't know if she should say something, or if she should even sit. If her grandma was here she'd coat this whole room in plastic covering and then never set foot in it again.
A second boy raced down the stairs, reaching the sixth step and jumping to the bottom. "Harley! I got it working. Now we can-" He stopped short of running into Pepper. In her heels, she was half a head taller than him, but he looked no younger than the boy on the couch. He also looked like he'd just broken about fifty rules. "Uh… sorry. I didn't know we had company."
"She's the new nanny Dad's going to hire to keep track of us," said the boy on the couch. "Because it's not like we're teenagers who can take care of ourselves. No, just have to get us a handler."
"Maybe he's still mad about the alpaca thing," the second boy mused.
The boy on the couch scoffed. "He was just pissed that we thought of it first. If anything it was the riverboat thing at the Summer gala last year."
As they ran through a list of unintelligible incidents which might have led them to this point, Pepper replayed the word 'nanny' in her head a few hundred times. Try as she might, it never sounded like anything else.
A door opened and a man stepped out. He wore an expensive suit, yellow-tinted sunglasses, and a thousand-watt grin made for magazine covers. "Good morning, you must be the new applicant Jarvis was telling me about."
Pepper shook his hand, trying to act as though he was a supervisor at the makeup company and not Tony Stark. The actual literal Tony Stark. Ridiculously rich genius inventor all of her friends had at the top of their celebrity crush lists. The last time she saw his face, he was on Ellen. Now he was talking to her.
"Hi, I'm Pepper," she said, forgoing all formalities. "It's… nice to meet you, Mr. Stark."
He grinned wider. "My reputation precedes me. Awesome. Let's talk." The doorbell rang. Jarvis approached but Tony stopped him with a hand. " That will be my daughter and her escort. Give me one second Ms. Pepper."
"Ms. Potts," she said, but he didn't appear to have heard. He opened the door and a pale young girl with a bright red pixie cut and a dark purple hoodie stood sullenly at the entrance. With her was a police officer.
"She was tagging dumpsters," the officer said, arms crossed.
Tony pursed his lips. "Thought she'd graduated to bridges. Guess I was wrong."
"That's the third time this month, Mr. Stark. Any more and I will have no choice but to arrest her."
"Hey now, let's not use the 'A' word in front of impressionable children, huh?" Tony stepped aside as the girl stomped past him. "This is a phase and she'll grow out of it. Now I'm sure you have lots of grocery store robberies to stop and kittens to rescue from trees, so I'll just let you go."
"I'm serious, Mr. Stark. Keep her in line."
"I assure you, no child of mine would ever cut in line. See you later, Stan." He shut the door and locked it. Pepper thought she heard a beep like a computer booting up. "Okay, that was exciting. Let me introduce you to your potential charges-to-be. Over there is Harley-"
The boy on the couch raised a hand but didn't wave.
"-this right here is Peter-"
"Nice to meet you," he said, his smile lighting up his face in such a way, Pepper had to resist hugging him.
"-and this bundle of sunshine is Nebula. Hey Neb, say hi to Ms. Pepper."
The girl was already halfway up the stairs with no signs of stopping. She mumbled a quick, "hello Ms. Pepper," and then she was gone.
"Don't mind her. It's a teenage thing. She'll write a few goth poems and be right as rain by tomorrow." Despite his dismissive tone, his eyes lingered on the top of the steps, as if he thought maybe she'd come back down. When she didn't, he rolled his shoulders and sighed. "Okay, let's go talk in my office."
Pepper followed him down the hall past a number of doors until they reached one hanging open. Inside was a room full of metal parts with bookshelves lining every wall. A couch and coffee table added a homey feel and by the windows was Tony's desk. A man and a woman stood by it. The man was tall and lean with sharp, handsome features. The woman petite and skinny, with a face that would make most men look twice.
"Hey guys, you mind if we take a break?" Tony sat in his plushy desk chair, spinning it once for good measure and propping his feet up. "Need to do a job interview. Ms. Pepper, allow me to introduce Loki Odinson, my business partner, and Dr. Jane Foster, our favorite benefactee."
The man, Loki, nodded politely but had nothing to say. Dr. Foster, by contrast, smiled and took Pepper's hand. She was overall quite personable and Pepper didn't miss the way Loki kept looking at her.
"I can bring you more information about the project tomorrow, Tony," Dr. Foster said. "I think this might be the big one."
Loki chuckled. "Yes, with a little hard work and elbow grease you'll finally defeat those baking soda volcanoes at the science fair."
Dr. Foster blew air out her nose. "Gee, thanks. Anyway, I need to head out. Have to be at the university in an hour to discuss my lecture and you know what Manhattan traffic is like this time of day."
"Be careful you don't get stepped on," said Loki.
"Don't mind them," Tony fake whispered as they glared at each other all the way out the door. "They act like they hate each other, but it's really just unresolved sexual tension. Pretty soon they'll snap and fuck on my desk or something."
"I can hear you," Dr. Foster shouted.
"That's good. Use a condom," Tony shouted back. He took his feet down and laced his fingers together, slipping into business mode like it was a second skin. "Okie Doke. I assume you have a resume somewhere in that makeup kit."
As it happened, she did. One never knew when they'd pass an office building with a help wanted sign in the window. Pepper had learned long ago to always be prepared for anything, and she hadn't made an exception here. Opening the case she whipped out a folder full of crisp white linen pages listing all the qualities that would make her an exceptional businesswoman. She handed it to Mr. Stark, hoping it could get her a job in childcare.
"Hmmm…" he rubbed his chin as his eyes raked across the page. "Mmm. You're in grad school. Working on your thesis, I see."
"It's a process. I'm almost done, but you know… one day at a time."
"Business management." Mr. Stark dropped the page. "I guess you could say raising a family is like running a business in a way. Communication and cooperation are key. We've all got to work together and respect each other."
"Of course," she said.
"We can't be afraid to let our colleagues know when they've made a mistake or are getting ready to set off a homemade explosive in the house."
"Yes sir," Pepper nodded. "I mean… what?"
She caught a whiff of the air. Ashy like something burning. A trail of gray smoke floated down the hall. There was a popping sound and one of the boys cursed. Pepper crossed the hall to find Peter on his knees tinkering with a miniature rocket booster. Said rocket was currently cradled in Harley's arms.
"Why don't these figures ever add up," Peter groaned, typing furiously.
"Did you carry the one?"
"Yes, for the hundredth time. I always carry the one."
Pepper looked to Mr. Stark, mouth wide. He maintained total serenity and motioned for her to step up. At first, she wanted to scream. He was the parent, not her. It was his job to stop them.
Except it would also be the nanny's job, and she was the nanny.
'I knew I should've taken the west end,' she thought, shuffling forward on uncertain feet. Neither boy acknowledged her until the toe of her shoe bumped their device. "Hey guys, you can't set that off in the house."
"Have you checked telemetry?" Harley asked Peter as if no one else had spoken.
"Everything's running normally. If I could just get this thruster to work."
"Excuse me," Pepper, kneeling to Peter's level. "Do you really think it's a good idea to launch a rocket indoors?"
"It's not dangerous," said Harley, rolling his eyes.
"It's just supposed to fly into the kitchen out the window and land in the yard," Peter explained. "We've calculated the distance based on the positioning of the booster and triple checked our math. There's no possible way this could go wrong."
"Well as long as the fuel doesn't leak out, but that probably won't happen," Harley interjected. "I'd say we have about a ninety-seven to ninety-eight chance of success."
Peter grinned innocently, trying his best to look cute and unthreatening. To his credit, he was good at activating those motherly instincts, but he was about seven years too old for it to stick.
"Okay, how about we try this another time?" Pepper pushed the booster into the wall, well of course for its intended trajectory. "Maybe out in the park would be better."
"It was made for this house," said Harley.
"The whole point is to get it out that window," Peter argued.
"And what if you miss and break something?"
"Dad won't mind. Right, Dad?"
Harley shot his father a pleading look, and to Pepper's consternation, Mr. Stark did not immediately shoot him down and send him to his room. He had a hand on his chin and seemed to actually be considering it.
"I don't know. Maybe it'll work." He eyeballed Pepper. "You sure they can't do it?"
There was that grin again. Either he really was screwing with her or her expression was just that hilarious.
"Are you kidding me?" she snapped, forgetting for a moment that she was talking to a guy rich and powerful enough to destroy her life with a snap of his fingers. That was the other thing about hitting rock bottom: you just plain stopped giving a shit. "They could destroy this whole house! Burn everything to the ground. They are not shooting that damn rocket in here." She rounded on Harley, who took a step back in surprise. "Give me the rocket."
He held it tight to his chest. "It's mine. I spent weeks working on it."
"Then you should've gone outside. Give it to me now."
"No!"
"Harley. Now!"
The moment seemed to drag on for hours. Harley stared defiantly at Pepper and she stared back. If he thought his scrawny teenage self would cow her, he should've spent a night babysitting her sister's kids. After that, there wasn't a child in the world who could bring Virginia Potts to her knees.
After a while, he seemed to realize that. Even with Peter offering silent but steady encouragement, his stance had weakened and his grip on the rocket's base had grown slack. Slowly he unfurled his arms. The rocket was heavier than Pepper expected and appeared to be full of liquid. Whatever it was, she didn't want to know.
"Let's go, Peter," Harley grumbled.
The two boys scurried upstairs without another word. Doors slammed and that was the end of it. Pepper let out a sigh which was cut short as she remembered the children's father standing right behind her.
'You just told off a pair of kids you just met like you're their mother,' her inner voice said. 'Are you ready for a tidal wave of pissed off entitled rich parent crap? Because you're about to get it.'
Except when Pepper turned to face the music, Mr. Stark was not scowling. In fact, he wasn't angry at all.
He was smiling.
And then he clapped.
No, he was full-on applauding her.
"Perfect," he said, that world-famous grin returning with a vengeance. "Absolutely stellar! You are exactly what I need, Pep!"
Pepper held her breath, but it never came. "Y-you're not mad?"
"Mad?" Tony laughed. "How could I be mad? What do you think I need around here, a yes man who will roll over and let my kids do whatever they want? Or someone to be, y'know, responsible and mature? And tell them 'no' when they have to?"
"I…" Pepper swallowed. "Family is built on cooperation, right?"
"Exactly!" Tony put an arm around her and led her back to his office. "Now, if I haven't made it clear, you're hired. Let's go discuss moving you in and the six-figure yearly salary I'm going to pay you."
"Well, I still have a few months left on my lease," Pepper said. "I guess I could break it, but I'd really rather… I'm sorry, six-figure salary?"
"Uh-huh," Tony spun and struck a pose against the wall. "I compensate my nannies very well for dealing with my children's antics. Let me make it clear, they're not troubled. They're all good kids at heart, but they're smart. Like, really smart. The trick is to always stay one step ahead of them. Are you up for it, Ms. Pepper? Or would you rather go back to selling makeup door to door?"
Her pink, heart-shaped makeup case stared at her from the desk inside, as if issuing a challenge. Pepper refused to look at it. Inanimate object or no, she'd never give it the satisfaction. "Yes sir, I am."
Tony pumped a fist. "Great. Let's talk contracts. Also, feel free to fall madly in love with me and have a whirlwind romance that ends with you properly joining the family."
Pepper gawked at him, a laugh bursting forth. "That is not going to happen, Mr. Stark."
He shrugged. "It might."
"It won't."
"But it might."
"But it won't."
He smirked at her but didn't respond. The next hour was all business with a few well-intentioned barbs thrown in. As Pepper signed and initialed a dozen pages, she wondered just which kind of insanity she was getting herself into.
Either way, things were finally looking up.

So Tony-antis seem to dislike Tony because he's a rich white man who slept around and they also seem to think he's super sexist.
First of all, as long as there is consent from both parties and they know what's in store there's nothing wrong with sleeping with a lot of people.
Second, Tony is a fictional rich white man. Stan Lee literally created him to be the opposite of real-life rich money-grubbing white men. Stan Lee said Tony was made to be someone people on principle wouldn't like, but ultimately end up loving.
Third, Tony is in no way sexist. He worships and appreciates tons of women in his life. In the MCU he gave his company to Pepper Potts who he knew would run it so much better than he ever did. Not to mention, in the comics (before their problems in Civil War 2) he was close friends with Carol Danvers and they relied on one another through their struggle with alcoholism. He and Natasha Romanoff have a long history as well and she really appreciated him. He thinks Shuri is one of the brightest minds he knows. He believes Riri Williams to be the future. He respects Sue Storm, Kamala Khan, Kitty Pryde, Gamora, Mary Jane Watson, Jean Grey, Ororo Monroe, and Janet Van Dyne as well (among many others). Tony Stark even helped a woman give birth in the middle of a snow storm while they were both freezing to death and homeless on the streets. Honestly what more do want to prove that he isn't sexist???
The reason why I and many other Tony fans feel the need to continuously vouch for this man or sprout info about what a great man he is, is because there are WAY too many people who think he's a scumbag, or sexist, or selfish, or cruel. You don't have to like the character but don't sprout false info about the character either.
It's tiresome to just be minding my business every day only to find some more people spouting false Anti-Tony information.
I'm serious, you act like Tony Stark doesn't fund charities and superhero teams, and doesn't put his life on the line constantly for other people. You act like he doesn't feel guilt when he can't save people. You act like he isn't extremely loose with his money and isn't willing to help anyone he crosses in need. You act like he never was willing to help out the Avengers and assist whenever they called and needed his scientific knowledge for something. You act like this man didn't just save the whole universe by sacrificing himself and giving up a life with his family in the MCU.
Sorry for the rant, but a LOT of people seem really delusional about his character. I'm not saying he's perfect or that he doesn't make mistakes (because he has made many) but he is NOT a bad person.

ENDGAME THOUGHTS
So here it is. The longest post I’ll ever write, so bear with me. (I’m not kidding, this is HUGE).
I watched Endgame at 7 pm yesterday… Came back home at 11. And I posted that I would try to sleep and make this post today. You know how many hours I slept? Four. And I finally fell asleep at 3.30 am.
I will try to say all my thoughts on this post, so if I miss something, I’m sorry. (Note: although I like more characters, the IronFam, pepperony, irondad… Will be the main concerns here, so anti Tonys, get the fuck out)
SPOILERS AHEAD
I will try to say things that I liked first, then the ones that I didn’t like, and then we’ll get to the OG6 ends, okay? Okay.
THINGS I LIKED:
The whole movie has that atmosphere that this was it. The Endgame. And it really makes you anxious for the characters. 
Clint’s first scene with his family is heartbreaking
Tony being so soft (a dad) with Nebula was fucking everything
Although it was expected,  Carol rescuing Tony and Nebula was great. (I guess it’s because the message for Pepper was received… because then why was she waiting there?)
Tony saying “I lost the kid” killed me, and then he finally calms down when Pepper hugs him
Tony’s kiss on Pepper’s cheek
Tony cutting out Steve’s bullshit had me going “Yeah, honey! That’s it”
Seriously, he looks (and feels) like shit. And he gets the strength to get up, rip off his IV, and call him out before his body can’t stand anymore
What’s left of the team trying to fix it all, going to Thanos without second thoughts and killing him once and for all (okay, maybe not “forever”, but you know… Thor finally went for the head)
That “5 years later” gasp, seeing how the world is “moving on” after the decimation
Everyone’s fucking done, and tired, and hopeless (e.g. Nat, Steve, Rocket and Nebula, Rhodey, Clint…)
Nat’s break down, trying to stay positive about Clint, and about everything (also, Rhodey helping her, looking for Clint… Because in this blog, we love and respect Colonel James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes)
Scott getting back from the quantum realm after (for him) 5 hours, to finally reunite with his now grown up daughter
Tony “moving on” (kinda). He has the life he said he wanted since AoU, with Pepper as his wife and his daughter, and living on a beautiful farm, away from everyone
Tony being the BEST DAD the MCU will ever see (no hate on Clint or Scott tho, it’s just my opinion). He loves her so much, and she loves her daddy too (3000
Morgan with the Rescue helmet
Tony kissing it
He carrying her inside to have dinner
The team getting to his house for help, cause he’s the only one that can do it
That shot of Tony pouring drinks for everyone in which we see his wedding band (because, of course, and like RDJ, Tony is that kind of man)
He being selfish about trying what Scott said. He has every right to be. Although Peter’s not there, he has Morgan. And he wants to be there for her. He’s allowing himself to be selfish for the first time in 15 years (being 2023 in the MCU right now… I think… technically…)
But… he’s Tony Stark. The selfless man the world will ever know. He can fix it, and he will
Nat, Scott and Steve talking with Bruce… or Hulk… or Proffesor Hulk (let’s call him Bruce)
Tony being domestic: doing the dishes, tucking his daughter in, the “I love you 3000″, and him being so cute with Morgan like… “whoa, honey, that’s a lot… that’s more than ‘tons’"
Him resolving the problems of the “time-travels” in a couple of hours… I stan one man… Also, Morgan seeing her daddy work and getting ice-cream before going to sleep. Again, the best dad
Once again, Tony being domestic talking with Pep (aka his wife, aka the love of his life, aka the mother of his daughter, aka his goddess, boss and queen), asking her what should he do, and Pepper, like always, being his voice of reason
Scott and Bruce trying to work with the quantum realm 
Tony driving to the compound like the badass he is (also, while being a badass, still being a dad and putting toys and a teddy bear out the way of Cap’s shield)
Bruce and Rocket looking for Thor, the appereance of Valkyrie, Korg and Miek, and Thor playing Fortnite. (I found all of Thor’s scenes very funny, but at the same time I didn’t feel like it was okay to laugh about it. He’s clearly depressed during the whole film, and every character-like every person- deal with depression and ways to cope in different ways… so I don’t think that laughing at Fat Thor was nearly okay)
Clint being a badass
His scene with Nat, holding hands
Rhodey with the best fucking idea of the movie (go back in time to baby Thanos, and… you know the rest). Again, I love this man
Bruce freaking out about it. And explaining the way the MOVIE works
Clint being succesful on the first try
The WHOLE scenes of the “domestic” team, getting up ideas of how they’re going to recollect the stones (Loved every single one of them, and I would gladly watch a film that was all about Nat, Tony and Bruce lying on a table and talking)
Jane Foster making a come-back (kinda)… Also, Thor is me when I’m doing a presentation 
Rocket calling Scott “puppy”
The team prepared. The whole “you know your teams, you know your missions” speech
The “unseen” parts of Avengers 1, after they got Loki
Scott giving 2012-Tony a heart attack and 2012-Thor helping with Mjolnir. All while actual-Tony gets the tesseract (for a while)
All of Rocket-Thor scenes in Asgard
Rhodey and Nebula laughing at Quill
2012-Cap vs actual-Cap (+America’s Ass), and the elevator scene
The ancient one and Bruce conversation
The whole thing with past and present Nebula
Stan Lee’s cameo
Tony and Steve going to 1970. Tony (aka Howard Potts… I died when his wife’s name is the first one that comes to his mind) talking to Howard Stark, having a dad to dad conversation, and Edwin Jarvis cameo. Meanwhile, Steve seeing Peggy.
Nat sacrifice for Clint. Clint crying afterwards…
The team decided to not let her sacrifice be in vain (+Bruce’s reaction)
Bruce undoing the snap
Past-Gamora helping actual-Nebula (+killing old-Nebula)
Thor, Steve and Tony fight with Thanos (while the rest of the team is trying to get the gauntlet)… (+THAT scene of Steve and Mjolnir)
THAT FUCKING SCENE WHERE ALL OF THE FALLEN AVENGERS COME BACK (+RESCUE!!) AND STEVE FINALLY SAYS “AVENGERS ASSEMBLE”
SERIOUSLY, THAT WHOLE SCENE
Rescue and Iron Man fighting back to back like the power couple they are
Rescue-Mom giving Spiderman and the gauntlet a ride
Tony and Peter reunion *sobbing* (+Groot and Rocket, +Hope and Scott, +Quill and Gamora)
THAT SCENE WITH ALL THE WOMEN FIGHTING TOGETHER (Pepper being the badass she fucking is!!)… The only woman I missed was Nat… *sobbing again*
TONY’S “I AM IRON MAN” 
PEPPER’S “ITS OKAY… YOU CAN REST NOW”
PETER SOBBING. PEPPER SOBBING. RHODEY HOLDING PETER
PETER GOING BACK TO NED AND MAY
THE VIDEO. “I LOVE YOU 3000″
THE FUNERAL WITH ALL THE TEAM (+HARLEY)
RHODEY AND HAPPY COMFORTING EACH OTHER BEHIND MORGAN AND PEP
“PROOF THAT TONY STARK HAS A HEART”
UNCLE HAPPY AND THE FUCKING CHEESEBURGUERS
Thor going with the Guardians (+Quill looking for Gamora)
Clint with his fam
Scott with his fam
Steve giving the shield to Sam
(this is kinda)-> Steve going to Peggy
In conclusion: MY HEART IS FUCKING BROKEN FOR THIS MOVIE, but nontheless I “loved” it
Okay… so now that we are done… Let’s talk about what I didn’t like:
I needed more Pepper/Tony moments, and more Pepper “mommy” moments
Uncle Happy was great… BUT WHAT ABOUT UNCLE RHODEY!
Steve, get out of the fucking way! Tony doesn’t need you now (at the begining of the movie). He needs Pepper, and Rhodey, and food, water and sleep 
Rhodey not getting a hug with Tony at the begining of the movie
Not May/Tony conflict/crying over their ‘son’
I don’t know if I like Howard’s and Tony’s talk… I do like it, but idk. I guess that in the movies he wasn’t physically abusing to him… But at least he gets to talk with his dad and he realizes he’s a very good dad with Morgan (aka, his “little girl” *sobs*)
TONY DESERVES BETTER. THE WHOLE IRONFAM DESERVES BETTER. MORGAN, PEPPER, RHODEY, HAPPY, PETER… MY GOSH, EVEN THE BOTS AND FRIDAY (I can’t talk about him in past tense, I’m sorry. I’m just in denial)
THAT FUCKING CHEESEBURGUER LINE (I swear, I will never get over that fucking line)
Steve getting to live his “endgame” with Peggy, leaving everyone behind (aka Bucky and Sam, but mostly Bucky) and being FUCKING SELFISH (in my eyes… and for what I’ve read, in a lot of actual Cap’s fans too)
How come that “the man who lays in the wire” is the one that leaves, and “the man who would cut the wire” is the one that fucking LAYS ON IT (again)
Alright. Now I’m going to talk about the OG6 ends. Although I have leave my points of view up… But I still want to talk about it more thoroughly:
Clint: Finally, Clint got his protagonism in the team. He’s going to do “whatever it takes” (and he means WHATEVER) to bring his family back. I liked his end, there’s nothing more to discuss about it.
Bruce: Yeah, Bruce finally got the best of both worlds, the mind and the strength… But what’s he going to do now?
Thor: Thor’s end was okay (IMO)… He doesn’t have the strength to be the king anymore… But Valkyrie does. And he has great chemistry with the Guardians, so I didn’t mind him going with them.
Nat: Nat’s ending was great. Let me explain. I didnt like that she died. But I felt it very on character… She has no family, her family are the avengers. And she wants to bring them back. Clint is like her brother (I’m a little into Clintasha tbh, but I accept that they give them that brother/sister relationship long ago. It proofs that not all the male/female friendships have to end in a romantic relationship), and she did anything she could to undo the snap during 5 fucking years.
Steve: Hated it (him). Yeah, you “loved” Peggy… Whatever. (The Russos trying to put Steggy as the Royal ship when everyone KNOWS that that title belongs, AND WILL ALWAYS BELONG, to Pepper and Tony). He’s just looking at the past, he has never moved on, and he never will. He let Tony gave up his family (at the age of 53… god, he had a lot to live for) and then he left Bucky behind (and the whole Hydra mess too), when he always was so nuisance about him all these years…
Tony: Hate/Love it. I love it because it’s the way of fully close the circle of this whole journey, and he’s the SAVIOR of the fucking MCU, now and always. Haters can shut their mouths now after what he did…
I hate it because… He’s my baby. He finally had the life he craved for all these years. Married to Pep, with his baby girl; trophy husband, doting father… and now he’s… gone. He’ll never see Morgan grow up (her first day at college, her first bf/gf, her graduation, her wedding, his grand-kids… any of it), he’ll never see Peter go to college either. Pepper will see all of that alone (not completely, because Happy and Rhodey will always be there, but someone will be always missing). Morgan won’t ever doubt that her daddy loves her, but still he won’t be there to kiss her goodnight, nor to tell her shitty bed time stories. (God, I’m crying again… and I really want to say I am joking, but I’m not).
Tony fucking DESERVED BETTER. 
The whole IRONFAM DESERVED BETTER.
Rhodey hold his head and pet his hair, with tears in his eyes that he refuses to let out. Peter calling him Tony for the first time ever… “We won” 
Also, Pepper is the STRONGEST WOMAN IN THE MCU. No one will EVER change my mind. She went into battlefield to help her husband, to protect their kid, and she hates violence. She fought beside him, helped defeat Thanos… And, when Tony (her Tony) was dying… She kneeled next to him, to reassure him that they would be okay, that he “can rest now”. And she didn’t break until he was gone. So the last thing he would see was her being the calm, competent person he knows she is. SHE FUCKING WAITS TILL HE’S GONE. SHE HOLDS HER TEARS AND HER SOBS SO HE WOULD FEEL OKAY. SO THAT HE COULD REST. And then, when the light of his arc reactor is out, and his hand is no longer in hers, she let it all out. She kissed his cheek one last time and sobs with her face buried in his neck… And I can’t deal with it.
Tony’s last message… “I love you 3000″ is another heartbreak. And the “Proof that Tony Stark has a heart” is the best… But the fucking cheeseburguers… If I weren’t sobbing and trembling during all that, the cheeseburguer was the charm that made me explode. It was over. It was really over. And that line made it true.
And the point is… I can’t read fanfics now. Nor see fanarts, fanvids, edits, you name it. Hell, I don’t think I’ll be able to watch any movie with Tony in it with the same eyes anymore… Any of the Iron Man movies, Homecoming, Civil War… It’s just too much. I won’t be able to watch Iron Man 1 again the same as I did before… with the cheeseburguer, and Pepper tears because she “hates job hunting”, Yinsen and his question about family, or the first time Tony flies out of his garage, with that huge, happy smile on his face.
Every time that I see 3000, I get fucking sad. And I was crying when I got home yesterday. When I calmed down a bit, I entered Instagram and Robert posted that photo of him and Jimmy Rich “holding” the A of Avengers and the tag #iloveyou #3000 and I fucking cried again… Fuck, I’ve been crying while writing all of this post.
I’m not even able to read some fluff fanfic from a couple of years ago… Pre-Infiniry war era to cheer me up. It just makes me sadden.
And… I think that’s it… I hope someone will read aaaaall my rant, but I can’t sum anything up.
.
TONY STARK, I LOVE YOU 3000 (ALWAYS WILL)

Endgame Meta Part 4 of Who Knows
Ok, we’re past opening weekend so going to put very soft spoilers outside of the read more. But again, SPOILER warning both for plot points from the film and for ranting about certain aspects of it.
To recap so far, again with soft spoilers:
Endgame Meta Part 1: In which I discuss how Endgame is a magic trick that makes you think you’re getting something that you’re not.
Endgame Meta Part 2: Bullet points on things including, but not limited to, Steve, Tony, Natasha, Pepper, and the handling of time in the movie.
Endgame Meta Part 3: Bullet points on the handling of time, LGBT characters, female characters, Hulk, and Steve.
Now for part 4, which is going to be about this interview with the writers Markus and McFeely. Or, as I like to call it:
Tumblr media
CALLED IT. I mother fucking CALLED it. The five year time jump was PURELY to put the characters where they wanted them to be with exactly zero thought or care given to how they got there.
What amazes me is that M&M have had MULTIPLE MOVIES to put everyone in place. The last movie of a series is not when you do the wacky what if scenarios to jerk them into the position you want them to be. This is when we’re supposed to be getting closure on what’s already been established.
What gets me is the utter disregard for the ideas of 1) characterization and 2) show don’t tell. Prof Hulk is the best (worst?) example of this. That these guys would look at all the history of Bruce and Hulk and see it as something that would purely be resolved in a science montage?? We’re talking two separate characters! Characters who have had an antagonistic relationship! THE SCIENCE DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER.
The issue with Bruce and Hulk wasn’t what exact gamma formula gets them to merge, it’s WHY WOULD EITHER OF THEM WANT TO. As of Endgame the answer to that is and remains WHO THE FUCK KNOWS? SHUT UP, PROF HULK GAVE SCOTT TACOS, ISN’T THAT WHAT WE’RE ALL HERE TO SEE?
Likewise the complete misunderstanding of Thor’s arc as “all he ever does is fail.” Yes, he’s suffered LOSS, but that’s different from FAILURE. Dudes, I don’t even GO here as far as being a Thor stan (like him fine, he’s just not my fav) but even I can tell you that Thor’s arc has been about him growing as a person and becoming a true leader.
Which isn’t to say the guy can’t suffer trauma after everything that’s happened. Odin knows he’s earned it! But that’s different from saying he’s a total failure at everything he’s ever done.
And of course we get confirmation that all M&M thought of with Thor is “Ha ha, he’s fat and drunk! Isn’t that HILARIOUS?” Man, credit to Hemsworth for managing to insert pathos and gravitas into characterization beats that were there purely to mock someone with PTSD. Compare the treatment of Thor in Endgame with Valkyrie in Ragnarok: both Asgardians who suffer PTSD, both trying to deal with their trauma with booze, both with comedy beats, but only one which treats the concept of that trauma as something to respect. (Hint: it ain’t Endgame.)
I’d say don’t get me started on the Natasha of it all but holy FUCK. She was supposed to be a shut in? Really? I’ll grant that it at least explains why they were framing her as somebody we’re supposed to feel sorry for. I got that we were supposed to think she was pathetic when I first saw the movie, but what I couldn’t get was WHY. As far as I could see she was stepping up to lead when nobody else would, and was organizing much needed heroing efforts. I got that the whole underwater earthquake exchange with Okoye was supposed to indicate that Nat was being hyper vigilant but again: TRAUMA.
Likewise I’m annoyed after my allowing for a reasonable mistake in having 3 separate “women be making sandwiches” scenes, it was apparently entirely intentional for Nat only being able to put together a peanut butter sandwich for herself to mean that she is so lost and pathetic and her life has no meaning. God forbid we interpret it as 1) she’s got SHIT TO DO, 2) nobody said Nat was a cook in the best of circumstances, and 3) hey maybe five years after HALF THE UNIVERSE VANISHES it’s harder to get Fresh Direct deliveries than it used to be.
Speaking of which, I could go into so many rants on that five year time jump. Here’s the thing: I’ll happily do the MST3K principle if you want me to. Case in point: I’m not going to question why everybody in the final battle had communicators because the reason is the movie needs a way to have the characters talk to each other while scattered about the field. It’s not important, it doesn’t influence the plot, it’s easily handwaved and we all move on.
However, when you put issues with the five year time jump IN THE TEXT then you need to address it. Don’t show me abandoned boats surrounding the Statue of Liberty if you don’t want the audience to draw conclusions from that. On the most basic level you’re saying “look at how empty and devastated the world is.” Okay, great, well if the world is empty and devastated, why are people playing Fortnite? (other than the obvious paid for product placement) Why are kids bopping around cheerfully asking for Hulk selfies? Why is Pepper Potts curled up on a couch reading about compost instead of reviewing reports about the efforts of Stark Industries to help rebuild?
What gets me is that we have REAL WORLD EXAMPLES of huge loss to draw from. Not to belittle the events of it but 9/11 alone shows how the loss of thousands in a single location has an impact on the psyche of those in the area, the day to day life, and the economy. It’s nearly two decades later and if people treated the memory of 9/11 as an excuse for a day at the beach it would be considered offensive. You’re telling me only five years after HALF THE UNIVERSE DISAPPEARS and the memorials to the vanished are little more than a visual curiosity people stare at? Nobody’s got an emotional attachment? Nobody’s leaving flowers? Nobody’s sitting on those benches sobbing their eyes out?
And that’s just if we take the shots of devastation at face value. Give it two seconds of thought and you realize the entire fucking planet should’ve fallen apart. Randomly removing 50% of all living humans (for the sake of argument) would’ve destroyed EVERYTHING. Nothing would’ve been able to function. Those abandoned ships mean no trade is happening. Who’s running the government? How is stuff getting manufactured? How are things being moved place to place?
And that’s just if we limit it to humans. When we throw in the other living things like birds and such then we realize the environment is fucked too. We’ve all read about how screwed we are if bees vanish. Well thanks, Thanos, you got us halfway there!
And again: I’d happily handwave IF THE MOVIE LET ME. I thought the purpose of the scene of Steve’s therapy group was to imply that everyone in the world was having problems moving on. While watching it for the first time I was fully prepared to take that scene as an explanation for why bringing everyone back after five years wouldn’t be as problematic as it seemed. But then the movie went on to show that, actually, outside of Steve’s therapy group and the Avengers themselves (minus Tony and Bruce, who are doing just fine), the world is a-ok!
Which is why, in an odd sense, it’s comforting to read that interview and be told no, you’re not crazy. They gave no thought to any of this whatsoever and never even cared. “Wouldn’t it be funny if Thor was fat?” writ large.
And the sad thing is that nothing is going to discourage them or anyone from doing things like this all over again. The movie made over a billion opening weekend. Why ever change?

Anyway~ after that rant I need to make myself say positive things
(。◕‿◕。✿)
Tony Stark deserves the world
Steve Rogers is the loml
Wanda is a good avenger despite her flaws
Pietro was more than a plot hole
Vision is a good character
Bruce deserves more credit for how smart he is, not just how strong Hulk is. We stan ♡
Clint and Nat have the cutest friendship in the world.
Bucky and Sam are both idiots but they're also both war vets who have been through a lot and still manage to find humor in serious situations, and I respect that.
Scott Lang is more than just some dumb theif, he's an amazing dad.
Peter Parker is not some dumb child.
Pepper Potts is extremely intelligent and should be applauded and recognized more for how well she runs Stark Industries and how good she is under pressure.
Thor is so sweet and kind and not just some dumb hunk and I adore that about him. He shows that manly men can still have empathy, emotions, and show them to the world.
Quilll doesn't deserve the shit he gets for IW, he reacted like any normal human would have under that amount of grief and stress. (Just like Tony did in CW, and that's a justified human reaction as well.)
Gamora and Nebula are such amazing, strong, independent women and I love them.
Carol Danvers and Valkyrie are the most badass lesbians in the galaxy.
Rocket is more than just a comediec relief character. He's extremely intelligent and can be kind and loving, as we see how he is with Groot.
I'm probaably making this post too long now but I Love each and every one of the Avengers and MCU heroes (including Loki!) And they all have flaws, but they all have strengths that should be admired and respected ♡

Avengers: Endgame - Movie Review
I actually saw this movie opening weekend and decided to give everyone a chance to watch before publishing because I know just how important this film was for my generation and those Marvel fans before us. I definitely do not want to ruin anything for anyone so if you have not seen the movie yet DO NOT READ THIS and don’t watch the trailer for the new Spiderman Movie. It will truly ruin your day, LOL.
That was your warning….
Now, for those of you that are not HUGE Marvel fans, if you’re wondering… Yes, I did sit through the 3 hours and 2 minutes of awesomeness known as Avengers: Endgame. Would I do it again? ABSOLUTELY! The movie was awesome and everything I imagined it would be. It didn’t even feel like I was sitting there for 3 hours.
I think it was only right for the writers to end the story line with Tony Stark the same way they started this decade of awesomeness with him, and he deserved that spotlight. We have waited 10 years for the powerhouse that was Thanos to come and conquer or be conquered, I had no idea Infinity War and Endgame would play out they way they did, but I think it was genius. I love movies that don’t have the fairy tale happy ending and leave us with scars because that’s how real life is; it hurts, makes us cry, and makes us question how we’re going to move forward after this. I mean, I didn’t cry or anything, and I definitely can’t wait for whatever Marvel has next in our heroes respective story lines, but life isn’t perfect and I admire movies that show these worlds in a more realistic light.
Leaving out of Infinity War, I knew Gamora was gone… although they’ve found a way to bring her back to close out the Guardians franchise without a missing piece. I also knew Thanos had to die and our beloved heroes would need to be brought back to life… there was too much money and too many franchises riding on their main characters being brought back from the dead; especially T-Challa because the black community was going to have a riot if our beloved Black Panther was knocked out of the MCU after ONE self titled film of cinematic genius.
But here is where I have to acknowledge Stan Lee’s amazingness and how I almost dropped a tear to see he actually got to end the game with Endgame… truly iconic and he will be missed.
So! Avenger’s: Endgame… where to start? It’s definitely clear to say if you did not follow the entire franchise with all of the individual story lines that tie into the Avenger’s, you’re going to be lost at some parts during the movie. We took trips back to the first Guardians of the Galaxy, the first Avenger’s movie, Doctor Strange, Thor: The Dark World, Avenger’s: Infinity War, and I know I’m missing a few others but those were the big ones for me that were traveled back to. But honestly, just watch all of the movies to get the entire experience and learn who each character is, there are 22 movies included in the Avenger’s MCU, although I don’t really count the Incredible Hulk (2008)… Bruce Banner/The Hulk isn’t even portrayed by Mark Ruffalo in that movie and I personally don’t think it has anything to do with the series other than it’s an origin story for The Hulk; but, watch at your own discretion and choose if you agree on your own.
Now, don’t be confused. I completely 100% believe that the movies are corny and cheesy, some more than others, but that’s the beauty of taking your childhood comic book characters and making them real; just take a look at the Transformer’s dynasty… Optimus Prime is about as corny as it gets but we still love him on film! Let me not get off topic, though. My least favorite films from the Avenger’s universe are the first two Thor movies (although Ragnorak was absolutely amazing and saved Thor’s story line in my eyes), Iron Man 3 was okay I could have done without it, Spiderman: Homecoming, and Ant-Man… I know those last two may make some people unhappy, but you can definitely share your views in the comments below! I’d love a good conversation on this. My faves, however, consisted of Black Panther, all 3 of the Captain America Movies, Guardians of the Galaxy 1, Thor: Ragnorak, and all of the Avenger’s movies. All the rest were good for what was needed to move the story along, including those that I didn’t care for much.
Only thing I don’t care for are how the movies end with plot holes that are later “filled” in future movies, I think that’s Marvel’s attempt to cover their tracks, but those holes could be left purposely to leave space for flexibility in upcoming movies. There were a couple holes in the plot for Endgame that I’m just not convinced of, however.
If Thanos’ past self is killed, shouldn’t the affects of Infinity War be erased? If he’s dead before he can snap his fingers the first time, technically he never erased half of the universe’s population, which then means Endgame didn’t occur and we should be sent back 5 years prior as though nothing ever happened. I could believe that only those heroes that participated in fixing the timeline would remember what actually happened.
If Gamora died in Infinity War, but her past self was brought forward when Thanos came to the future in Endgame, technically Thanos could not have killed her to get the Death Stone in Infinity War, which also means he never erased half of the universe’s population. I guess they could spin this as since she’s still alive it doesn’t make a difference… still a plot hole to me.
Where did Loki go? He got hold of the tesseract when the team went back to 2012 to get it and the staff, but of course things did not go as planned and he disappeared. I just want to know when we are going to discuss how that throws off the time line, because if he disappears he technically never winds up in jail in Asgard.
I’m sure there’s some round about way to explain all of these, but I’m just letting it be known that it doesn’t completely make sense. Time travel is a complicated nonexistent thing to understand as is, so I won’t sit too much on what was off about it because there was so much more that was right about it.
I was talking to somebody about the movie and appreciated just how amazing the women were in this film, yet again, displaying just how D.O.P.E. we are in real life and the way we always come through in the clutch. Okoye, Shuri, Valkyrie, Wanda/Scarlet Witch, Captain Marvel, Pepper Potts, and our beloved Black Widow, may she rest in peace, kill the game in the movie and aren’t just side kicks. This goes back to my excitement about Black Panther… I don’t care what anybody says or who chooses to believe that movie wasn’t a big deal, it was a HUGE deal to me and the emphasis of D.O.P.E. black women was truly out of this world. They seriously carried that trend through the end of the Avenger’s story.
In particular, let’s highlight Black Widow and her sacrifice to save the world. There truly was no question about who would have to die between her and Hawkeye, unfortunately. They were quite the pair but he had something tangible to gain from saving the world, his family; she, on the other hand, was able to save all of her friends and give his family back to him by sacrificing herself. She had waited and obsessed over how to save the world for FIVE years and this was it; Hawkeye went through the world killing bad guys to remedy the curse that was Thanos. I think it was a beautiful second chance for him. He not only got his family back but his best friend gave her life so he could find his way again and become the hero she knew he was.
This is why I’m so hooked on how D.O.P.E. we are as women!
Captain America also got a loving ending to his story and I appreciate how the baton was passed to Sam Wilson, a glorious black man. Could this be foreshadowing to a branch off for Captain America movies?? I tell you one thing, these crazies in the world today better not start ANY NONSENSE about there being a black Captain America the way they did about Idris Elba being the black James Bond…. and that’s that on that.
For my dear Iron Man… Tony Stark you have truly achieved the level of acknowledgment and heroism that you chased after with your escape from captivity in 2009 and we appreciate you for your sacrifice and getting that 1 in 14,000,605 chance to beat Thanos right! Tony Stark’s path has taken many turns that I didn’t expect it to take following him through the years, but I’m glad he reached the goal he was fighting for in the movie primarily; to save his family. The procession shown at his funeral to close out the movie was so beautifully laid out the only thing that could have made it better was if Stan Lee had made a cameo. I think it was genius how the pan through all of the characters at the funeral was a parallel of the comic book opening for all of the Marvel movies. I think the best part about how Tony is honored is that Pepper was by his side in the fight against Thanos and he had daughter that I’m most certain is going to follow in his footsteps in both brains and courage. His legacy will definitely live on into new movies and through the characters that we got back.
There are truly so many other things that can be said about the movie. Overall, it was the best ending for this struggle to survive than I could have imagined. It truly made the last 10 years worth while, and I appreciate the growth of Marvel over the years in their execution of all of these movies. They sought out to tell an amazing story and ended up with an epic playing field that has provided a ridiculous amount of growth and development for the company. The casting has definitely been A-1, the plots are intriguing, the scripts have gotten more believable, and execution was always pretty on point but have gotten even more intense and engaging for the audience.
The movie is a must see. If you haven’t gotten into Superhero movies, it’s okay but if you want to give something new a chance now’s the time. You can watch the entire story be told from beginning to end and there are so many ways to find the order to watch all 22 movies so the story flows and you’re not lost.
Happy Binge Watching!
