#it would be SOOO chaotic. SOOO devastating it is so untapped of a concept to have a character go through..

I feel like there's this untapped potential of headcanoning Tony with ocd in the same way there's untapped potential for horror MC's having ocd. Because you have to think about it from that pov: whether or not you've learned to cope with it and quell your intrusive thoughts and live with the paranoia it gives you, to be put in a horrific or extremely traumatizing situation like that, the only way to acknowledge and save yourself from it would be to look at a seemingly paranoid sense of fear and say "this time it isn't paranoid. This time it's actually founded. It's real it was real all along and the doom and dread that's followed me all my life is Real and it's Here and it's going to kill me" . How much would that undo... even if you escape with your life, how would you ever go back to not accounting for every wrong move, every failure every outcome every paranoid possibility no matter how far fetched or traumatic. How would you look at your past life and not see yourself as naive, to think you were the crazy one, rather than the world around you.
