Irondad fic ideas #105

AU where Peter is Tony's biological son and his real name is Thomas Stark. When Tony finds out about Spider-Man they have an ugly fight ending with "Peter" disowning himself and dropping off the map. He finds shelter with the Parkers and becomes Peter Parker

Tony tries to find him but Peter knows how to bypass their technology. For almost 20 years Tony thinks he will never find his son beyond pictures of him in costume

One day a social worker and the police show up at his house with three children. They tell Tony that his son died in a car accident along with his wife, and these children are his grandchildren, who will now be in his care

(During the last nearly 20 years Tony moved to a mansion upstate, retired as a superhero, and married. A few months before the police arrived Pepper also died)

The children are 11-year-old twins May and Ben and 5-year-old Annie. Heartbroken at the prospect of his son being dead, Tony tries to get away from these children who remind him so much of his son. Meanwhile, the children explore the Stark estate and its family, and May faithfully believes that her father is still alive and that the accident was a hoax created by someone greater, and clashes with her grandfather to get answers. And, the Ross-funded, post-Sokovia SHIELD tries to encourage and pressure Tony into giving up custody of the children

Tony reflects on his actions as a father and what he could have done better, bringing him closer to his grandchildren

rinas are gonna come at me again for this but idc. im honestly enjoying this seson less and less with each episode bc of what theyre doing to portwell. i just dont understand how rinas dont see that setting it up where it ricky is getting in the way of ej and his gf and just the ricky and gina storyline in general shouldve been done with and its complete fanservice to keep teasing rina. they spent pretty much the entirety of s2 building up to portwell and for the writers to be giving them the treatment they are is lazy and bad. and for this episode to have gina act the way she did seemed so out of character idk. it was also just annoying, with the way she was getting mad at ej in front of everyone else the entire day and wouldnt talk to him about it. the fact that ej had to ask r i c k y why his gf was mad bc he knew she was likely to confide in him. this was longer than i anticipated but idk man, when u break it down and really look at it, idk how people can ship smth that shouldnt even be a storyline at all.

#portwells im still holding out #this is not a rina win just a minor portwell setback #also tbh i dont think gina likes ricky at all #ricky can like her all he wants its not gonna happen #also why did ej get all that character development if he was just gonna be treated like shit #portwell #gina porter #ej caswell #ricky bowen #hsmtmts #hsmtmts s3 #shooters for ej #ej my love ill protect u

In continuation of the Stick Saga™, Lilith posted an impressive picture of a stick from an endangered tree species and lost her top place to a random human named Brad from Michigan.

She hates him now and is in a one-sided competition with him.

I downloaded an app that I think is meant to be used for like, detailed food tracking or something, but I instead really just wanted something with this format (color coded calendar days) so I could put in one single simple entry a day to kind of rate my day overall (based on physical health symptoms).. which..... looking back over it for the new year since when I first started tracking.. 9 "good" days in about 9 months, so roughly one good day a month LOL...

#A neutral/yellow day is if I felt sick or had any symptoms (nausea. joint pains. headahces. etc.) #to a distracting degree for at least an hour or more at any point in the day - YET it was not so severe or so distracting #that i was completely unable to get anything done. An orange day is if I was so sick or felt so bad #that I completed absolutely nothing that day because my primary focus was basically spending the entire day on whatever #was wrong with me or recovering from that. And a green day is a day that - even if maybe i had a few aches or pains - I was never any #noticable or distracting amount of sick - PLUS - i also got a reasonable amount of things done. #If I don't feel very sick yet I also lack the energy or mental wellness to complete daily tasks then it still counts as a yellow day. #So I guess like.. Yellow is if health was ok but focus was bad OR focus was okay but health was distracting. Green is BOTH focus and #health were mostly okay for a majority of the day with no major setbacks. And Orange is zero focus whatsoever because health is too bad. #There are also 5 categories. the worst is a super dark red and then best is a super bright green but I don't like using them #You have to select a bright red (x_x) emoji face to classify your day as dark red. and I dont like the implication of a 'dead' person face #because of my ocd lmao... it makes me afraid it's some habringer of death (if I select it for that day then somehting terrible will happen #the next day or whatever lol) *** *** *** - so I never use that one. I also feel like the MOST extreme categories should be reserved for #super extreme circumstance like.. I would only do a dark red day if I was literally hospitlaized or something. And same with the bright #green days like.. that would imply I guess that i was both suuuuper productive ANd had basically no symptoms at all all day. like a #Very Very Good day. and I just think that's not even possible. no day ever goes by without me feeling at least a little sick or achey at #SOME point lol... A day with NO headahces or issues or etc would be.... wow... mythical occurence.. #I have definitely gotten worse as I got older but even at like 15 or 16 years old I used to take ibuprophen a ton (I dont anymore of course #for stomach reasons lol) and remember having various minor problems here and there I was bothered by a lot #AAANYWAY.. also I count 44 'bad' days ghb... that's losing like.. at least one entire month of time a year.. maybe this is why I have so mu #much trouble getting things done and finishing my projects. BUT thats the point and why I wanted to track that. to like.. see it all laid #out at the end of the year. Maybe I could even compare years. Even though I started late in 2023. It'd be interesting to have a #yearly record of how many good vs. bad vs. neutral days I had in any given year. #(app is called 'Moodflow' on android phones. in case anyone sees this and asks. though I cant vouch for it or any of the features or anythi #ng since.. again. i literally ONLY use the one single feature of rating calendar days. I look at nothing else on there. And I keep my data #off and phone in airplane mode basically at all times so I never get ads on apps. Sometimes i'll mention liking some puzzle game or somethi #and then someone else is like 'yeah i love it but OMG so many ads' and I'm just like.. yeagh.... not for me lol.. but sorry to you. that #sounds annoying certainly..) ANYWAY.. auuugh... a sea of yellow neutrality. better than a sea of orange though. so :'3c

Obsessed with Alison Brie’s performance in Scream 4 it’s like her character is in a different movie but in a good way?

#scream 4 #alison brie #movies #her client being stalked by a serial killer is just a minor setback in the real story haha

Sometimes you just need to hear someone validate what you’re thinking to finally get some relief

#all she said was that it’s okay that I’m behind #and it’s just a minor setback #and that she understands how it feels to feel like you’re behind in life #but it will be okay #I feel like I could cry #not a single person has been kind to me about this #just push push push and then shaming #goodness gracious I needed someone in my corner #someone who was in my corner even though I’m not succeeding #someone who wasn’t just there because I was doing well #someone who understands #someone who is there for ME regardless of where I’m at #maybe this will help me sleep tonight and get moving tomorrow #el talks #el talks in tags

Caesar House AU: Trouble

While Shrub was safely in the Caesar House, her cage was unoccupied.

Her captor looked at it for a while, to see if he couldn’t find anything that pointed towards sabotage rather than the shrub taking initiative. Everything seemed to be okay. Nothing had changed, nothing had tampered with the lock and he was the only one who interacted with her. Nobody else would come here for good reason.

She really did this all on her own, huh? Impressive.

Then it was time to go and meet with the others, who wanted to hear his explanation. He didn’t mind – the one thing he did mind was wearing this ridiculous robe with an equally ridiculously large hood. They were perfectly safe in the shadow realm, they needn’t fear being exposed or having a mole among them.

Anyway, this was the etiquette of the organization and the captor obliged.

The center of the world was magnificent. The greens and browns made way for reds and purples, growing out of the ground, strange plants and fungi that biologists would kill for to study. Only in the center of this world between worlds did these grow, and in the center of this area a deepslate circle in the ground; a hallow, ritual site. Dark red energy pulsated beneath the cracks in the deepslate, forming a pattern of its own; a large circle split in two by a thin line, with four other circles intersecting it at regular intervals. Within these four circles, the deepslate was set a little higher – four naturally-formed pedestals.

And outside of the Slate Circle, careful not to stand on it, stood the colleagues. The leader, the follower, and the newbie. None of them were happy to be called here for these specific circumstances.

They blamed him, of course. They said it was his mess, that he’d become complacent and didn’t check the lock as well as he used to. That was not true, and the captor told them as much. Quarreling about it wouldn’t matter, as their shrub was gone and nowhere to be found in the shadow realm. That could only mean she escaped through one of the doors into the modern world.

The leader asked him how much that girl knew. The captor gave her an honest answer. While the shrub knew more than any outsider or not-official member, she knew very little about the modern world. She hadn’t seen it in at least a decade, anyway. If she did find help, nobody would believe her. Because everything she would say would sound like it came right out of a movie or a TV show and the people she’d accuse were all upstanding people who wouldn’t hurt a fly.

The follower was concerned about the plans going forward. The leader assured them that nothing would change. Yes, they lost their shrub, but they had back-ups. If something went awry anyway, well, the House now had plenty of replacements to choose from.

The captor suggested to check out his lab and see if she was there, partially to get away from the meeting. He was allowed to go and did so. The single oak door in the middle of the forest no longer surprised him and he stepped through it as he would any other door, to arrive in only darkness. He grabbed the portable lamp placed on a table nearby and scanned through the lab.

There was no sign of Shrub anywhere. Nothing was touched or misplaced, no markings on the concrete walls without windows, no different footsteps on the equally concrete floor. No shrub hiding at the top of an inconsequential staircase. But that left two rooms, separate from the main working area, that the captor still needed to look at.

The first room held their primary back-up. The boy in the armchair was sound asleep, as he should be. The drip feed, connected to him via a catheter in the forearm, still slowly and steadily introduced more of the unnaturally crimson liquid in his bloodstream. Everything seemed to be okay.

The second room was where they kept the stock; from the corrupted crimson and purple plants in the shadow realm to the distilled corruption and a more refined corrupted liquid, stored in bottles. They did not seem to be tampered with. Again, everything seemed to be okay in here.

Good news – everything seemed to be in order at the lab. Bad news – no sign of Shrub. She did not come through this door to escape. Good news – she had no idea what was going on in this location before her escape, and she would not be able to try and reveal this secret to the world.

The captor nodded to himself and returned home.

#empires smp #caesar house au #y'all are not prepared for this one #and now the villains have a chance to shine #or at least for one of them to be grumpy their shrub escaped #they still get along #what is shrub gonna do? nobody'll believe her #it's just a minor setback to #tw imprisonment #tw dehumanization #tw experimentation #because of that one moment #so what are we thinking about the villains? #pls let me know i'd love to see your reactions

very excited because I have been slowly & painstakingly counter conditioning Acorn to foot and nail handling with the eventual goal of being able to dremel his nails with minimal drama. I had just about given up on clipping his nails because he dislikes it so much already.

well, his nails had gotten intolerably long, so I decided I would try to clip a few of them tonight. thinking, I’m not ready to introduce the dremel yet, so I’ll use the clippers. fully expecting this to set back his counter conditioning, but it needs to be done, even if it means going back a few steps.

anyway, I send him to a station and start trimming, fully expecting to only get a couple nails done before I have to give up. surprise surprise! he is really patient and lets me do all of his nails! not the most thorough job but he let me do so much more than I thought he would.

#dog training #it’s so interesting because all ive done is desensitize holding his feet and isolating the nail #none of these things were really the problem #he only was bothered by the actual clipping #but it seems like even getting him more comfortable with the handling has somehow ade the clipping more tolerable? #or i just failed to identify where the discomfort actually began #this will probably still be a minor setback in the training plan but wow he handled it so much better than i expected!

@thedragonagelesbian replied to your post “So ya like BG3 Characters?”:

I love them all!! Cress in particular sounds super interesting-- circle of spores/gloomstalker is a great class combo, and the idea of them being raised by the myconid is super interesting!!! What's it been like for them to adjust to the surface?

​They're adjusting at their own speed! A lot of new sensory experiences but they're approaching everything with a smile. The dedicated day/night cycle is catching them out the most, they wished they didn't have to sleep because both the stars and the sun rise are so pretty.

live Cress react every sunset and sunrise since being airdropped into the world vvv

as of interacting on the surface, though they're approaching everything with a smile it's a bit more difficult. Being somewhere between the druids of the grove and understanding the wants to protect your home and also being in support of the tieflings, not understanding why outsiders can't make a home here is a difficult thing to manage.

It's definitely strange to them that everyone sees the shared tadpole connection as a negative- they quite miss the ease of the similar hive connections, understanding how others felt because they could just feel it. It's been awfully quiet in their head but all the more cause for them to be unashamedly loud. This is causing their throat to hurt more, but its ok because yay yippee new friends to talk to!!

#thedragonagelesbian #cress (Tav) #blowing kissies thank u SM!!! for asking after my characters fr <333 #cress with the 200% brightness debuff on for a bit #the sun hurts but its ok :] #everything is really just a minor setback as they truly see the best of every situation so far.
