Irondad fic ideas #148

You know those homework assignments where you have to interview someone in your family and then write an essay about their responses? Fic where Peter's class is told to interview their dad / a father figure in their life. 

Peter decides to interview Tony. But, he doesn't want his class to accuse him of lying, and he definitely doesn't want Tony to know what the assignment is about. 

So for Tony, Peter makes it seem like the assignment is just to interview anyone. Then, he carefully chooses questions to ask that are domestic and personal enough to avoid any mention of superheroes, celebrities, or so on. The few details that do slip through he just leaves out of his final essay.

For the class problem, Peter solves it by referring to Tony in the essay exclusively as "dad"

Unfortunately for Peter, the teacher then announces a part 2 to the assignment. Right after collecting the essays, the teacher says they will now need to bring the people they interviewed to school for their presentations

Peter has pretty much decided to not even mention it to Tony and just say his dad is busy. But then Flash has to open his big mouth. 

He accuses Peter of just making his assignment up, loudly reminding the class that he's an orphan. Peter clarifies that this father figure thing is a new development, but now the teacher looks suspicious

Peter is going to have to ask Tony to come to his school. And he's going to have to explain why the class will be full of kids and their fathers

#irondad fic ideas #irondad and spiderson #imagine the assignment is because the class is reading a book with like toxic masculinity themes #so they have to interview the adult men in their lives about it #tony: yeah my own father never wanted me to show emotion and considered it weak. but emotions are important kid #I've been trying really hard not to pass any of that damage onto you #tony when peter reveals the purpose of the assignment: (crying) see kid. emotions #iron dad and spider son #peter parker #tony stark #in the interview tony talks about things like his ptsd and anxiety and his love for his family #peter's class when they realize the person talking about these things was freaking IRON MAN: :O !!!?!¡!!! #peter: my dad's career puts him under a lot of pressure. at home he can be himself but at work he often has to wear a mask :) #tony: u little shit #lmao #queueueueue

"bloblobber is useless against flipperfloppers" post incorrect, with the bloblobber you can ignore the flipperfloppers splash circle and hit it directly, if you time it right you can get it in a single attempt

#flipperfloppers still take damage from being hit directly their armor is pretty weak #splatoon

Valentino finds him crouched against the wall of the motorhome that they share with Honda on the other side, still seething with white hot rage after yelling at Márquez. Screaming at him had done nothing to get the anger out of his system, and then he’d heard Marc telling the press he wasn’t even going to bother discussing Marco’s outburst, and now he’s trying very hard to calm down before he goes to congratulate Pecco. His brother doesn’t deserve that kind of negativity, and right now, Marco wants to kill somebody.

Vale crouches in front of him, one of his big hands finding the curls on the back of Marco’s head. “Ben detto” he murmurs softly. “It’s not your fault, he clearly hasn’t changed at all.”

Marco scrapes his hands over his face, wincing at his nose. “He didn’t even react when I screamed at him. Just stared, and then told someone else to remove me from his motorhome.” His fists clench. “And then he says he’s not going to waste time discussing me! Figlio de puttana!”

Vale ruffles his hair. “I’ve been telling you, he’s a crazy motherfucker. He’ll never learn.”

“Hey!” A voice he doesn’t recognize rings out on the other side of the wall.

“Hey, man, ¿qué pasa?.” That one, he’d know anywhere.

“Classy move out there today, completely sidestepping the questions.” It’s not a driver. Someone from the Honda team, probably.

Márquez snorts. “Bezzecchi is what, 23?” He must be changing out of his leathers. They’ve clearly not realised that there’s someone left on the motorhome next door, because they’re making no effort to lower their voices to avoid being heard through the paper-thin walls.

“24, I think.” Says the other voice. He’s almost 25, actually. He rolls his eyes at Vale. What does it matter that he’s young? He has half a mind to go back in there and yell at him some more. Fuck him. Youth does not mean he’s not legitimate competition, or a good driver.

“Eh, still barely an adult.” Márquez again. “Everybody is a fucking idiot in their twenties, but I’m no longer in my twenties. I know how this circus works now, and what would happen if I said anything personal about him to the press. I don’t mind giving my opinion on what he’s done on the race, or what I think he’s done on the race, but anything beyond that is a no, even if he’s a dickhead.” He pauses. Then adds, softer. “Actually, I don’t think he’s a dickhead. He’s just young, and we have both heard everything he said today before, and we both know they’re not his words. I can’t fault the kid for following a god blindly, I used to do it too.”

The world tilts three degrees on its axis. Valentino’s face goes white as a sheet.

“Look at you. Is this what maturity looks like?”

Márquez’s laugh sounds bitter. “I already said it in my documentary, but I don’t wish what Valentino put me through at 22 on anybody. 22 is a stupid age. You think you’re immortal, but you also think you’ll die if you don’t win this championship. Or not die, but the team will drop you if you stop performing, which is just as bad. There’s always someone behind you waiting to get on your bike, if you can’t stay on it. Your body can recover from almost everything, but the press and the team are already counting down the seconds until it gives out. It's an environment where it’s almost impossible to make good decisions, especially in the middle of a race where you’re going 300km/h, your only thought is that you have to be 1st, and you have 2 milliseconds to see and react to anything.” Something opens on the other side of the wall.

“You must still be angry at him. Especially after everything you heard today.”

There’s no need to clarify who “him” is. It’s clearly not Marco.

Something closes. “I’m not even angry anymore, more like. Disappointed? Disappointed with Valentino, because he was supposed to be my friend but he thought badly enough of me to believe that I’d do all those things he accused me of. Didn’t even let me explain. But also disappointed in myself, because it really is the worst feeling when you are just being yourself and your idol, friend, favourite person” - Marco can’t look at Valentino - “in the world publicly says that makes you a danger for everyone and poison for the sport you have dedicated your life to. And suddenly everybody despises you. You don’t just shrug something like that off, no matter how hard I’ve tried to pretend I have.”

There’s a metallic thunk, like someone dropping a bag on a bench.

“I can only be myself. I’ve never learned to be any other way, and I will never play mind games. I want to keep winning until I physically can’t anymore, and then retire and be done with all of this.”

“Are you going to set up your own training academy?” Suggests the other man, timidly.

There’s a meaningful pause.

“I don’t know if you’ve seen the documentary, but only two drivers came to see me before I got the surgery. A surgery that involved re-breaking my arm on several points and rotating the bone. There was a chance I might never come back to motogp, and most people didn’t care, not even my own teammate. And even younger drivers like Bezzecchi clearly believe everything that has been said of me, after all these years and after riding with me. I don’t think I will have any kind of legacy other than a number of championships and a bad reputation for my riding style. And a lot of scars and metal in my body. I don't think mentoring will ever be a possibility. I don’t think I want to teach anyone how to ride like me, when this is what it gets you.”

Marco can feel his own face drain of blood. There’s no emotion to Márquez's voice. He’s clearly thought this over plenty. It sounds practised, rehearsed, and utterly sincere.

“You still said very nice things about Rossi in a recent video, even after all of this.” 

“I told the truth.” Comes Márquez’s response. “They ask what I think about him as a driver, and that has never changed. He’s the best. Always the best.”

He sounds as certain as anything. The sky is blue, the sun is yellow, and Valentino Rossi is still the best ever MotoGP driver in Marc Márquez’s world.

Valentino’s face is doing something so raw that Marco feels filthy when he hazards a look. He averts his eyes again. 

“As I said, I’m not even mad. I would be happy if he decided to stop hating me one of these days. I still like Valentino. I think what he’s done with the academy is great, the way he’s basically adopted those kids. I try not to think much about him other than that.”

He sounds wistful, Marco realises, like part of him wishes he could have been one more of them at the ranch. Like part of him envies that they got that with Vale.

“Except when one of said kids goes to your motorhome to yell at you.”

Marc snorts again. “Hm, maybe he should have taught them better manners, that’s true. But he’s Valentino Rossi. We wouldn’t like him half as much if he had manners.” And with that, the voices finally fade, Márquez clearly done changing. And then it’s just him and Valentino, still crouched on the floor on the other side of the wall.

Valentino looks ill. Properly green, and Marco understands, because he’s feeling queasy himself when he thinks of everything he’d yelled at Marc only hours earlier, everything he has said about him loud enough for everyone to hear. 

Valentino has approximately eight years of that.

God help them both.

#I have been on my Rosquez feelings so I had to engineer a situation where Valentino has no choice but to confront his sins head on #and then grapple with the realization of how much irreparable damage he’s dealt Marc #marc/vale #rosquez #realistically would Marc ever bare himself like this? Absolutely not #but let’s pretend that Bezz yelling at him in Valencia caused a weak moment and the jagged edge was visible for a millisecond

I am once again thinking about the reluctant ruler whose arc justly and correctly includes assuming the throne and taking responsibility for the people set before them

#it's about simba coming back to pride rock it's about aragorn using andúril to fight for middle earth and assuming the throne it's about #hiccup marrying astrid and assuming his role as chief and moses returning to egypt #and it's about irina loving her people so fully that when she claims all of her subjects as hers that chernobog must release them to her!!! #and it's about miryem choosing to stay with the staryk and repair the damage and assume responsibility for the land and people!!!!! #and! it's! about! gen!!!! #it's ALWAYS about gen!!!! #gen who didn't want to be king. who hated being king and only wanted to marry a queen but who obeyed his gods and became a king over kings #who lost his home and half his family and his HAND but who ushered in a new golden age. #and it's about sophos who ran away but who shot the ambassador and took back his kingdom #it's about duty and it's about sacrifice and it's always ALWAYS about doing the right thing even at great personal cost because it's about #submitting to a power higher than your own. of recognizing that the calling on life is one for serving others and having so much more to #answer for than just yourself. it's knowing duty is love is duty #i cant stand stories where the answer is 'give up the throne and reject your duty' because no!!! you dont get it!!! #thats how you get the monsters!!! thats how you get the prince turned into a beast and thats how you get every terrible weak king that #aragorn feared becoming #to accept your throne is to die to self!!! you are no longer you but 'king' or 'queen' #it's like queen mary says to qeii in the crown 'elizabeth mountbatten must die #elizabeth regina must take her place.' #that's terrifying! but it's also everything!!!! #die! to! self! die! to! self!!!!!! #lilac rambles #lilac goes to the movies #lion king #prince of egypt #lotr #spinning silver #the crown #tqt #the queen's thief #httyd

#octaviablakeedit #octavia blake #octaviaedit #the100edit #the 100 #* #i just saw this quote and it of course SCREAMED octavia #and spawned so many thoughts about how everything octavia is #and becomes is unresolved childhood trauma (and further trauma on the ground of course) #comes from a miserable life of not being allowed to exist to suddenly being given the EARTH and devouring it grasping for strength for powe #for connection for life for everything she was denied for 17 years #and because octavia grew up in violence and death #every lesson she learned being harder and more violent by simple nature of it #and how everything octavia's ever been taught is fight and violence and demolition of weakness #slay your demons #i am not afraid (yes you are you've always have been) #and so how could she end up any other way #but finally she does confront this she finds a way to make peace with her darkness she finds peace and happiness #and that saves her life #ultimately she does choose healing in large part so she can be a healing influence in a child's life rather than a damaging one #and i love her sooo much #but beyond being meta of course.. octavia a summary literally and figuratively

It was really funny watching some people on twitter who were playing Super Mario RPG for the first time wondering why Geno was the character people always brought up from the game when Mallow has more screen time. The answer is simply that Geno, both from a design and mechanics perspective, appealed more to the demographic that Super Mario RPG was aimed at. To an audience of predominantly young boys, Geno is an objectively cooler character

#super mario rpg #smrpg #super mario #geno #mallow #no hate to mallow; of course; but the truth is that Geno is cooler #Mallow comes across as more cute. he has a rounder; softer design. he's literally a crybaby #meanwhile Geno is a living doll that literally knocks mario out and is equipped with artillery #all of Geno's weapons are some manner of gun; his name is literally incomprehensible to us #getting the 9999 on Geno Whirl is the coolest thing to a kid because nothing else even comes close to doing that much #also; Mallow benefits a lot from both the party switching and the more obvious enemy weaknesses of the remake #in the original the team most people use is Mario; Peach; Geno #Peach's healing is busted; and Geno is your best mixed attacker #Geno is genuinely just above curve on both of his offenses and his magic benefits from being easier to time than Mallows #and from not having the chance to do 0 damage to an enemy because his magic is element-less #also Geno Boost is just really good since it gives you a 50% increase to attack and defense #all this together just makes Geno more appealing #he also gets bonus points for disappearing at the end

i don't know what's weirder when people act like shipping a ship they don't like is going to personally kill their grandma or when shippers of said ship try to downplay their 'problematic' bits to convert it into some milquetoast pair. like aren't you shipping this because it's fucked up? isn't that the whole appeal of the thing? no??

#personal #like truly i get brain damage everytime #the former are unhinged and i do not want to interact with them in any form like if you dont like something grow up or leave the internet #the second are truly just disappointing like. you just decided to cater to a bunch of strangers telling you how its acceptable to ship smth #live your truth bro dont be weak #btw ive definitely experienced this in the kyman fandom. seeing both sides

HI In love with the little ways Susie looks after him like…you KNOW she’s asked the same exact question before and got a very different response. She senses Lancer knows what it’s like too bc even though he doesn’t really talk about it, he wouldn’t have asked that question if he didn’t have a reasonable expectation for her to drop him if he was.

He’s literally so scared to lose her friendship and in within the minute she reassures him that, “dude, it’s all good, you have nothing to be sorry for” when he’s been made to feel sorry for literally existing by everyone for so long I-

#Susie too probably #i love their friendship she is his older sister #that puts jolly ranchers on his bullies’ cars and eggs their houses to defend his honor #i know they don’t talk about a whole lot #but they’re both really good at picking up “the vibe” #bc it’s a survival tactic so they both recognize the other’s mannerisms and behaviors #and while lancer looks at Susie as a role model that he can envision himself growing into bc she acts just like him but ‘cooler’ #ie ‘less weak’ as if he’s supposed to be faulted for being a young child #Susie looks at Lancer as a naive version of her past self and tries to mitigate his suffering the best she can #but it was destined to go awry bc she never really grew past her own suffering until Lancer causes her to see and care about #the damage she does voluntarily or involuntarily to those around her #ANYWAYS SHE PROTECC SHE ATTACK SHE GOT LANCERS BACK #i love them sm 😭😭 #deltarune #lancer #susie deltarune #ch1 is REALLY good guys #oh my boy indeed

also im sorry but it is so clear how many of you guys have never played pirate101. All these posts about how a baby wizard could kill a max pirate. NO THEY CANT!!! a max pirate and their crew would jump your little wizard before they could even think of summoning a duel circle

#like if it helps. a max pirate can do ~1-2k damage with one single hit (as in. they can do this EVERY TURN not just every 4 like wiz) #just bc pirate's health system is different and thus lower doesnt mean theyre weak #and also if pirate's lvl system was on par with wiz itd be even more skewed in favor of the pirate #a 160 pirate could kill a wizard by LOOKING at them.
