#if u r wondering what i mean by projecting and thus seeing them as platonic

Crazy how i went from hating stevetony and having winteriron as like. My otp I Guess, when i had my first marvel phase years ago, to now having stevetony have won that spot from winteriron lmao. Just in terms of it being a ship not in their character dynamic. Like this is just my personal feelings about it i respect em both etc . Just to me (i guess i also feel this bc im projecting somewhat) i just prefer tony and bucky to be friends, but i think tony and buckys dynamic, no matter what relationship they're in, is so so interesting and still genuinely rivals steve and tonys dynamic for making me insane, though I hadnt read anything for it in years until i read sinealas new fic. Just. Aaaaaauhgjhg. They live through similar/parallel traumatic events and come out of it with similar understandings of the world with different approaches to acting it out (that understanding being: i am worth the most to society as a weapon that atones for my past sins) (and their approaches being: i am going to right my wrongs from the background where nobody can get in my way or lay eyes on me vs im going to put myself on the line and be the one taking the blame in the spotlight hiding what good i may do behind a mask because its what i deserve) . And its very interesting I love reading it in any format i love them coming to understand each others feelings and realizing despite how they absolutely shouldnt relate to each other they very much do.

#buckyyy so sorry the st*ckies ruined ur fanon self for years #if u r wondering what i mean by projecting and thus seeing them as platonic #well: am aroace. do kin tony. i think my brain is like well this is like if i had mutual understanding with someone #in which case we'd at most be qpps #this is why im like its entirely a me thing that i dont particularly see them that way. it doesnt like bother me or anything tho lmao #when they are understood as characters though and played off of each other well. MMMMMMMM YES. #it is like jotaro and kakyoin in a mild way not the same same but the same relationship type. they have a mutual understanding #i can see stevetony fine because steve and tony make each other better and worse and theyre insane for it thats craziness gbless <3 luv it #steve and tony theoretically dont have similar lives and life experiences but have ended up at the same train station of life #both have ended up with similar ways of carrying themselves but with different outlooks #causes them to work together and understand each other well. also causes them to have deep fundamental differences #and react to those differences in ways the other can hardly understand #tension. craziness. so interesting #sorry for rambling but also i guess i shouldnt be this is the first actual marvel post on here in a while huh lolll #i havent read a tony fic in a long time and i havent read winteriron in so long . last time i read it my friend wrote it rly well #but i think she took down her ao3 and i havent had the will to go search out more or god forbid risk reading an mcu fic /hj #anyway #marvel #tony stark #bucky #winteriron #the gamer speaks uwu
