#badly drawn tony

[holysheithyall]

imagine getting killed by this little creature, honestly just a skill issue at that point. hes like perfect punting height just kick him across the pizzaplex bro.

[chaifootsteps]

been watching that video someone sent in before while eating dinner (the "hazbin hotel sucks and that makes me sad video") and i honest to god have no complaints about it so far, aside from the begining disclaimer.

like im sorry, but its so fucking infuriating to hear SO many reviews say, "i wont talk about the drama outside the show," followed by, 9 times out of 10, a section completely dedicated to angel dust and how badly the execution of his story was butchered. "this feels written by the perspective of someone who thinks it's cool to be gay and abused," "angels suffering feels prolonged", etc.

like, yeah, i dunno man. couldnt possibly understand why they fucked that part of the story up so bad. why dont you ask the guy that storyboarded posion, has drawn angel being horribly raped and hypnotized, influenced the actual masquerade episodes dialogue with his fucked up fan comic, changed his name to tony when he started doing sex work, and admitted to never going through any of the trauma angel has? why not ask viv, who lied about raph being sexually assaulted (or, was telling the truth, and used his recent assault as a way to shield herself from critique,) who infamously doesnt research her characters designs or backgrounds, and called her rapist character "bubbles coded" and "a stupid mean girl" on twitter?

i just have to wonder, why? if youve already had to put a disclaimer that you dont intend to harass anyone for your disagreeing opinions on this stupid ass show, then why not acknowledge whos fault it is for this happening? why protect them? why not, i dunno, let two 30 year olds be held accountable for using millions of dollars to make a completely unnecessary rape music video? its not like anyone else is going to. you might as well use your platform to say something different besides, "poison and masquerade is really uncomfortable and gross. i will not discuss why this is. i will instead discuss the content itself only and intelligently put into words why i feel this way," for the 50th time on youtube.

Gotta agree with you on this one. If anyone ever makes a video critiquing HH that pulls no punches, please link me to it.

Pairing(s); Daddy!Thor Odinson x Little!Reader

Summary; after not seeing thor for awhile you’re in a hurry and it results in somebody getting in trouble.

A/n; this is so close to my heart but I hope everyone enjoys it. Not proof read

“Really,sweetie you can’t see him yet!” Loki tried to explain while you ran down the hall towards the throne room. Choosing to ignore Loki and only focusing on the sound of Thor’s voice getting closer.

Thor had to go help his earth friends leaving you under the watchful eye of Loki and sif, Loki made the mistake of letting you overhear Sif say he was back. In response you took off towards where you knew he would be your socked feet running as fast as they could.

There was a reason you couldn’t see him,his earth friends came to visit but they had no clue you existed and thor just needed time to explain. The didn’t even believe he’d moved on from Jane but he had,long ago.

The pair of you met in a item shop in his village he saw you and just immediately felt something, his mom said it was true love.

“Darling!” Sif called after you as well to no avail. “Daddy daddy daddy” you repeated as you ran closer to the doors.

“So you just need to understand that I’ve hidden this for a-” Thor was in the middle of explaining when you burst inside “daddy! Daddy!!” You squealing running towards him. “Loki!” He yelled as Loki slid to a stop at the door.

You were already at Thor reaching up at him “daddy you hold?” You asked referring to you. “Of course, hi my little one” he said lifting you up you squealed hugging his neck. “Missed daddy” you said and his hand ran through your hair “I missed you too honey”

“Daddy?” Tony asked “honey?” Steve asked you only then realized the group of people stood infront of you both. Meanwhile all thor was doing was staring daggers at his brother and Sif. “She’s a fast little thing what was I meant to do!” Loki argued. “Use your powers?” Thor offered and Loki went to argue but got quiet. “Oh…yeah, forgot about those in the moment” Thor shook his head.

“Hello! Who is this?” Nat asked pulling the two men from their bickering “uhm” Thor looked between his friends and you. “Daddy? Wan down!” Thor complied and sat you down.

Thor immediately turn to his brother “are you crazy? What if they react badly!” Loki shrugged “I’m gonna actually kill you” Loki scoffed “I’d like to see you try” Thor picked Loki up by his collar “oh. Look at that” Loki said his feet dangling.

Thors attention was drawn away when he heard you squealing, he turned to see nat and Tony tickling you “ahhh! Dada! Help!!” You said between giggles. Thor sat Loki down and walked over “what is going on?”

“So, you have a girlfriend” Bucky said with a shrug “she’s cute, I’m gonna steal her” Tony said and you squealed “nooo!” You rand to hide behind thor “I’m only for daddy!” Thor smiled. He sat his hand on your head “yes you are” he agreed “so you guys aren’t weirded out?” He asked. “No, I’ve dated littles before” Tony said “so have I” nat said “and we are willing to learn” cap said pointing to him and Bucky.

Thor nodded “okay, thank you” he said and lifted you up “now, tell me all about your week baby”

Copy pasting Terry trivia and info here

Terrance is strict, fatherly, rigid and eloquent. Most of the people he’s ever been close to he ends up taking care of. He also feels compelled to teach his own way of living, wanting his loved ones to be better examples of People so they won’t reflect poorly on his own image. Past all of this strictness and judgement, Terry is a soft masochist, he’s witty, flamboyant, and a huge suck up, though this is part of his own manipulative nature, even if it’s being under someones boot, he’s sure he’s getting what he wants.

Devout christian, victim of conversion therapy. traditionalist. 

Terrance Mathew's original name is Terrance Adams, he changed it when he moved away from his home town in his 30's. He is hiding from his past but he yearns for his ex friend to return to him and mess his life up again. He victimizes himself but he has enabled alot of that behavior just for entertainment. He's very inlove. 

 Terrance is a homosexual in deep denial about it, Because of this he attempted a marriage in his 20's when pressured by those around him. It was mostly to keep appearances. 

 before changing identities he made alot of money building robots that performed small tasks for people, post change he stopped just to disassociate from his former self. He doesn't really want people to recognize him for what he's done, but he wants to show off very badly deep down. Since he has gotten a implant in his brain to dull his powers his personality completely shifted, He is fearful he is now a scrawny man who could easily be hurt by just anyone, and he suffers severe ptsd from the past abuse he endured in general

 His roommate bailey is someone he's drawn to because he reminds him of a safer version of the man he's in love with, he sometimes mixes the two up. He would never admit this though and insists he just wants to help the guy on his feet and enjoys the quiet that comes with his ability to block psi. He is very weak to Bailey's manipulation because of the connection to tony in his head. The longer he lives with him the more he sees him as his own individual self and he doesn't want to face how he feels about him. Terry and Bailey are codependent like Terry and tony were, Terry is just drawn to relationships where he is serving and being used.

man I’m gonna need you to continue the nothing of significance Drabble 😭😭

I feel I should apologize for how long it took me to get here given that I practically invited this request. *sheepish* I do drabble requests in order by default, just so I don’t have to think about them as much, and there were a few already in the queue at the time.

This is part four. Find parts one through three at these links:

Parts One and Two at AO3

Part Three on Tumblr (it’ll post to AO3 when I get caught up there)

-

Stephen sleeps a lot for the first week. When he wakes, Tony is nearly always at his side. His bedroom sprouts a new side table, and it’s quickly covered with tablets, phones, and gadgets that Stephen hesitates to identify when Tony Stark is involved. He tries to tell Tony that there’s no obligation, that he can go, but all Tony says is, “I’m not here out of obligation. I’m here because you don’t make sense. I’ll figure you out, you’ll see.”

Stephen doesn’t argue. He likes waking up and seeing Tony sprawled in the armchair he’s commandeered, tapping intently at one device or another. He’s going to enjoy it while it lasts.

Once he’s no longer sleeping twenty hours a day, Wong explains, privately, what he needs to do to help his soul heal. 

At this point, Tony’s commitments have drawn him away from constant watch at Stephen’s bedside, but he’s still a daily visitor. The table full of gadgets remains. Today, Stephen must look as lost as he feels, because when Tony strides into the room—he doesn’t ever knock—he stops immediately and frowns. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Stephen says automatically. Tony just waits. “Healing my soul is going to be more… metaphysical than I thought.”

Tony’s eyebrows fly up. “Isn’t everything you wizards do metaphysical?”

“Maybe I should have said not metaphysical enough,” Stephen says wryly. “I thought there would be spells involved. Exercises. I don’t know, vision quests. Instead, apparently, I need to… do things that make me feel good?”

Tony looks as bewildered as Stephen feels. “Like what?”

Stephen groans. “Watch the sunset. Spend time with friends. Eat good food. I am literally quoting examples.”

Tony slowly sits on the edge of the bed. “And that’s difficult?”

Stephen drops his gaze and doesn’t answer.

“Well!” Tony says after a moment, and Stephen looks up to see him grinning. “You’re going to be glad I stuck around. You basically have a prescription for hedonism, and I am an expert.”

Stephen has to laugh. This is either going to go very, very well, or very, very badly.

Hello friends! I'm here on the last day of the Marvel Trumps Hate auction to once more flog my wares show you some of the things that I have on offer that you can win! First up, auction 1145, a 27,000 word journal written from the perspective of the Winter Soldier/Bucky Barnes over the course of his first month free from HYDRA! If all goes well with this journal I'm considering writing a different one for next year, perhaps a war journal kept in the Smithsonian Library, a Wakanda journal, Steve's collection of letters from Bucky, or a journal written by Zemo or Rumlow (maybe spicy?) But in any case THIS YEAR the journal is Bucky's, and it's something I've wanted to work on for several years and only just made the time for ahead of this auction. It is BEAUTIFUL, and I say that modestly I swear; full of hand drawn illustrations and bespoke leaflets, postcards and newspaper articles. There are over 20 pen and ink drawings in total! A full version of the journal will be posted to AO3 with mouseover text of the other languages Bucky has written into the journal (Russian, French, German, Romanian), and there's a secret, Civil War era letter from Tony in the very front. I'm so excited to share more of this journal with you, and I can't wait for the winner to get it! P.S. postage costs are in the listing! Current bid is $150. https://www.marveltrumpshate.com/auction/1145-dogsled/

Auction number 2066 is for a full size painting. I really labeled this auction badly so let me expand on the things I'm offering here: - Up to three full size characters (or a group of say six people total if it's a really cool idea) - Acrylic 12"x10" or watercolor 11.5"x16.5" - Can be gen, teen, or nsfw - Original piece is mailed to you (postage costs in listing) - Digital piece will be uploaded as well! - I will also include at least one metallic or pearlescent paint to either watercolor or acrylic painting, since we're up over $250 so far. Here are some things I love to paint: artistic nudes, armor, elaborate costumes, couples, ladies and gents, het lesbian and gay ships, horses, dragons, attempted realism, total fantasy, Avengers as various animals/my little ponies, horror--idk if I haven't tried it yet I'll probably enjoy doing it so throw it my way, I'll try anything! So I guess what I'm really saying is: if you have an idea you want painted, or a couple you love, and you want it painted for you, I can do that! No need to be shy! Come check out my auction and put some awesome Marvel themed art on your wall! https://www.marveltrumpshate.com/auction/2066-dogsled/

(End of part 1) Part 2 Part 3

[inklver]

A letter, decorated with glitter, hearts, and colourful scribbles akin to a mother's day card, slips into your inbox. The letter reads:

Dearest Ink,

Enjoy some idiots in love, sprinkled with a bit of fluff; just the way you like it.

Let the gift-giving contest begin. I will not back the fuck down. The game is on!

- The better half of the delulu duo xx

A badly-drawn picture of two smiling stickmen holding hands is drawn beside it in crayon. The rest of the letter reads a sloppily-written story:

Stephen hums as he feels the tickle of Tony's hair swarming into his neck, the feeling of Tony's breath softly blowing against the patch of skin on his collarbone. He tries not to squirm away as Tony nuzzles the crook of his neck. 

"Mm, hey," he mumbles, voice thick with sleep. His mouth opens up in a yawn that ends with a contented sigh. 

"Hi," Tony greets back. "Go back to sleep." 

"Did you just come in?" Stephen mumbles, eyes still heavy with sleep. He attempts to open them, but only manages to do so in slits. Tony hums an affirmative answer.

"Had to go do something in the lab," he explains, "Go back to sleep." 

Stephen's lips twist, downturned, and he asks with a slight slur in his voice, "What time 's it?" 

Tony shifts up.

"It's..." He feels Tony's warmth leave him–presumably to check the time–and he almost pouts at the loss, before smiling as he feels Tony return into his embrace. "Just a little past 2." 

Stephen lets out a sleepy grunt, something that sounded like a protest. 

"C'mere," he says, tugging Tony under the blankets. Tony obliges, squirming down, and Stephen wraps his arms around the man's waist. He attaches his lips to Tony's neck, and they lay there in comfortable silence for a moment, only broken by the occasional rustle of sheets and their soft breathing. 

Stephen can feel Tony's heartbeat beating rhythmically against his own in this position, and it feels like a reassurance. That Tony is here, Tony is safe, Tony is in his arms. He feels cold, calloused fingers cradle his own trembling ones gently, and he responds in kind, tangling their fingers together. 

Stephen's never been quite a romantic, but something about the hour and the sleepy state he is in feels like a great excuse for him to be clingy. 

"Sleep," Stephen mumbles into his neck. Tony huffs out a soft chuckle.

"That's what I'm doing, Houdini." 

Stephen shakes his head, nuzzles closer into Tony's neck.

"No," he says flatly, "You're thinking. I can hear you thinking." 

"Is that a wizard thing?" Tony says, and Stephen can sense the smirk even if he can't see it. "You're not reading my mind are you?" 

Stephen just gives a whine of protest, not wanting to prolong their not-sleeping states. 

"Sleep," he repeats, "With me." 

Tony doesn't reply after that. It takes a moment, but he feels Tony gradually relax in his hold, and inevitably falls into slumber. He only lets himself sleep until he's sure that Tony is. 

YOU. screaming crying falling to the floor clawing at the walls sobbing

I LOVE THIS SMMM they are so soft and in love and i will never get over your writing. not enough words in the english language to describe how i feel rn. sleep deprived idiots in love are the key to my heart fr

[kingofthering]

Hoping I'm not late for the prompt thing! I'd say Rosquez + 20 and Fabio/Tony + 7 or 22, if you like one of those ideas ❤️

7. to shut them up

“It’s just… Maybe at one point I have to realize that the issue is not just with the bike and I’m the one not doing things correctly, you know?”

“Fabio,” Tony protests when he’s on the up position of his sit-up, hands behind his head and eyes looking sternly at Fabio.

Fabio has always enjoyed training with other people, especially when he needs to hit the gym. It was even more true when he was younger and had trouble focusing on his own but even now that’s he’s fine doing sessions alone, he appreciates having another body in the room with him.

Sometimes it pushes him to go just a little harder, out of pride or competition. Sometimes he just likes the company, someone to share a smile or an exhausted expression with.

Tony is a great training buddy. He likes to fake complain when Fabio wakes him up too early to go on runs and he pretends to be exhausted when Fabio drags him to the gym for a late day session but it’s only temporary. Once they’ve started and Tony can admire the results of their hard work in the mirror and Fabio mocks him for it (when he doesn’t offer to take pics for him), it’s all good.

Today, they’re having a lifting session in Fabio’s basement, Fabio currently holding on Tony’s shoes while Tony does his serie of sit-ups, reggaeton playlist playing on low in the background.

And maybe just maybe, Fabio’s thoughts couldn’t escape the disaster that his team currently is and he went off a tangent at some point.

Tony’s usually good at listening to him. In face of his protest, Fabio might squeeze his ankles a little harder. “I know, it’s stupid to think like that. Marc said—”

One second Fabio is in the middle of his sentence. The next, he’s being cut off by Tony’s mouth crashing against his. He barely has the time to realize what’s happening to him or even figure out how to react before Tony has already drawn back.

There is a pause, then, where they both just stare at each other, the moment suspended in time for what seems like forever but probably only really is a handful of seconds.

“I can’t focus on what I’m doing if you’re downtalking yourself,” Tony eventually says, a slight frown between his brows and his cheeks flushed red. “Yes to shit talking the bike, no to the I’m not good enough nonsense.”

And just like that, he drops back down to resume his serie of sit-ups, Fabio ending up staring at him.

Saying he still feels his lips tingling sounds stupid. Asking why Tony chose the part where Marc was mentioned to intervene seems even more silly.

(It doesn’t keep a small part of Fabio’s brain from wondering.)

“Your turn,” Tony stops his thoughts from going further. He’s back to a sitting position, arms hugging his drawn-up knees. Fabio’s hands are still holding onto him, Tony’s skin warm under his fingers.

There is a thrill under his skin, his heart pumping hard even though he’s not the one exercising right now. They’re asking for him to take a small leap there —try something he doesn’t know the outcome of yet, take a risk— and Fabio, well, he sure loves to jump.

“Do I need to talk badly about myself for you to kiss me again or can I just ask for a good luck kiss? For energy, you know?”

Somehow, the blush on Tony’s cheeks goes even redder and he shakes his head before looking down, avoiding Fabio’s eyes for a short moment. 

When he focuses on Fabio again, Fabio can see the hint of a smile at the corner of Tony’s lips and the way he’s definitely biting his own tongue right there.

Pushing Tony down and hovering over him is easy. Making out on the ground of his home gym is admittedly gross.

For a good handful of minutes, Fabio couldn’t care less about anything else in the world.

(Tony complains about his back the next morning when they shower together. He doesn’t have much more complaints to make once Fabio is down on his knees in front of him, though.)

Cassandra Cain Reading Guide Part 5: The Search for a Well-Written Character.

So you want to be brave and read more Cass? To read the journey in “full.” The bad along with the good. To know THE FULL STORY. But with it comes pain. Horribly badly written pain. Well-- I warned you.

Part I reading guide you can find here.

Part II reading guide (Modern) you can find here.

Part III reading guide (Random) you can find here.

Part IV reading guide (Alternate versions) you can find here.

Batman: City of Light #1-8

So you want to read the worst tale of Cass as Batgirl during her prime years not found in her ongoing (1999-2006)? This is the story for you! You have Cass drawn in an oversexualized manner when as Batgirl. You have covers where looking at the poses they put Cass thru make you question things.

You have a subplot with Cass that has her dating a namely boy but goes thru PTD due to the abuse David Cain inflicted upon her.

It's surprising (or maybe not for good reason) how many don't truly remember the existence of this mini-series at times.  Sadly, maybe it's best to not fully dig up this one unless you're truly brave in reading what lies within it.

Robin #148-151 aka Robin OYL. 

So you read all of Cassandra's Vol. 1 ongoing and wonder what was she up too after it ended? Well, here's your answer. I must warn you even with the gorgeous art you will find only anger and pain when reading these issues. 

More if you decide to randomly read #152 as well.  This arc begins Cassandra's "supervillain"/dragon lady phase. That lasted from 2006-2007. It will truly tick you off watching DC chuck Cass to some truly awful characterization. The problems here are all over the place. A newly minted comic book writer being thrown to the wolves of fans that some still haven’t forgiven him to this day (to which writer Adam Beechen has teased).

Supergirl #14

The issue probably has the best written evil Cass among all you'll find here. She's menacing, a threat, and-- obviously had just watched the Empire Strikes Back. Because she uses basically lightsabers to fight Kara.

So why is it here? Well, um.. the way Kara defeats Cass in this is-- a thing.  A thing you never knew Kryptonians could do until this issue. Also, the way it happens is kind hilariously in a-- why did Cass have to be in that position on Kara? Instead, you know keep her distance? Likewise the revelation that Bruce/Tim know where Cass is hiding out and do-- NOTHING.

    Teen Titans #42-47 (Titans East)

- Due to the backlash toward Robin OYL, DC answered with this story. Geoff Johns attempts to “fix” the evil Cass mess with her own "fearbug retcon" aka Slade drugged her up with his supersoldier serum. That’s why she’s evil and acting like a stereotype. 

The problem is, yeah besides the panel above the story is a mess. The creative team (Johns and artist Tony Daniels) book it by #44 leaving an entirely new creative team to finish this story (poor Adam Beechen’s first rehab of the character)-- and it shows.

By stories’ end you’ll be pulling  your hair at what was the entire point of this story?

World War III #2, 4

-  This 52 event comic fills the gaps created in "Titans East" by further retconning OYL (this time Batman: Face to Face), saying it was actually Cass who was defending Gotham (with Alfred's assistance) not Harvey Dent only did some things (but took the glory). While Slade plays devil on Cassandra's shoulder.

The next issue shows Cass for a few panels before we see Slade sniping Cass and incapacitating her. Given what we know “Titans East” we know what will follow: him drugging her and-- causing the whole evil phase to begin. 

Yeah. -_-

Robin #160-162 (Cassandra shows up in #161-162)

-  The arc concludes her supervillain phase by also setting up the final arc for the Robin writer Adam Beechen at that time (she funds the young meta Dodge to steal a steroid that her “employer” wants (we later find out to be both Deathstroke and David Cain).. 

In the final part to the story, she kills the corrupt CEO who originally created the drug (and tested it on a Gotham Street Gang) in front of Tim after he fails to bring crook to justice. 

Given the proximity of release. Many readers at the time thought this story took place prior to “Titans East”. In actuality, it takes place after. The act of killing the CEO snaps Cass back. 

Black Canary #1 (2007)

- Remember in Part III when talking about B&O, Green Arrow’s beef with Cass? This is that comic. Cassandra only appears in this panel above as it is clearly stated she has abandoned her faction of the League of Assassins and being EVIL. The villains of this series are some of her League remnants targeting Sin the child Dinah adopted to be the next “One Who is All”.

To make sure Sin never has such a target ever on her back. Dinah gives her a new life away. There is the journey that will lead you into Batman & the Outsiders. 

There are BAD stories that involve Cass (Batman #81, Future State: Gotham #15-18, Batgirls #7-8). But I dare you to only search for them if you will is truly strong. But I suggest to simply ignore them. You’re better off mentally. However there is ONE painful tale I do wish to add to this list:

Detective Comics #1029-1032

- If your a fan of the Bat-Family and not Bruce/Damian this story is absolute garbage. After a LONG career of writing Batman or Bat-Family books (namely Nightwing and Robin) writer Pete Tomasi churns out an awful tale. 

This is the ONLY tale, Tomasi ever wrote Cass in (and she jobs throughout it). The writing is just NOT GOOD as Cass acts OOC thru the whole arc. Ironically, this arc rehabs Damian from prior heelish turn in Teen Titans (oh irony).

The only other reason to even read this story? Artist Bilquis Evely. Her art is exceptional and she draws an amazing Cass in just two issues (#1030-1031). But that’s just it. If you’re a fan of Cass (or anyone above) you’ll just grit your teeth at the boneheaded moves they all do in this arc just so Bruce/Damian look good. 

Future State Gotham #15-18

- You’d think a “Battle for the Cowl II” (Jace Fox, Jason Todd, Hush, Damian Wayne, Dick Grayson, and Bruce Wayne) would make for a “good” story. No. No it is not. 

Whatever “good will” this series had ends on the most batshit insane story that’ll be forgotten by most save those who read it. Dick is fully a villain in this arc (even if he’s painted a tragic hero) who abuses a drug (so he can see the future), and beats up who’re trying to pull him out of this rut. 

Damian is possessed by a demon (Joe Chill, I’m not kidding) and because of it Hush (posing as Bruce) tries to use him to kill Bruce, Jace, and Jason by tricking the son of Batman into thinking they’re the Batmen from the Grant Morrison run that “doomed” Gotham.  

Cass’s only reason in this story is to job. Somehow her, Duke (at the height of his powers in this universe), an older Harper Row (introduced in this arc to job), Babs, Stephanie, Tim, and Kate Kane all are defeated because Dick knows everything. 

Again, the story is just--- a thing to behold. The ending is crazy. Dick getting a redemption feels like complete ass (after all he did in the prior issues). Just when you’re thinking maybe we’ll get a Bat-Family assist when Hush unleashes an army of Talons (he leads the Court of Owls) on Damian, Dick, Jace, Talia, Babs, Bruce, and two others. Nope Dick sacrifices himself to “save” the day. 

Ugh.

- Batman/Catwoman: Gotham War Event -

Batman/Catwoman: Battle Lines #1 (appears)

Batman #137 (appears)

Catwoman #67 (doesn't appear)

Batman #138 (doesn't appear)

Catwoman #68 (doesn't appear)

Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War – Scorched Earth #1 (appears)

-  One of the worst Batman events in decades, Gotham War you have to read to believe in how awful the writing is within it. The main characters' motivations are sketchy if best. No character comes away clean or of sound mind in the story.

The only redeeming qualities of the event are the art and the Gotham War Red Hood #1-2 mini-series that tie into the event. 

Other than that? 

AVOID THIS COMIC unless you wish to wrack your brain with PAIN.

Cass within the event is no different.  The character is given 0 motivation or agency within the event. She's basically a cardboard standee for Bruce to showcase his increasing mental issues (pertaining to that Batman run).

Cass within the event is no different.  The character is given 0 motivation or agency within the event. She's basically a cardboard standee and serves only to prop Zur's influence overtaking Bruce (pertaining to that Batman run).

Nothing more.

Helena Bonham Carter’s Harper’s Bazaar UK interview | February 2023

A WOMAN SCORNED Helena Bonham Carter tells Lydia Slater why her latest role, exploring the life of the 1970s soapstar Noele Gordon, feels like restorative justice Those of a certain vintage may remember the ponderous sequence of nine guitar notes that were the signal to cluster around the television for Crossroads. Set in a Midlands motel, the soap was much derided for its flimsy sets, implausible storylines and clunky dialogue; nevertheless, in the mid-Seventies, the series was attracting 15 million viewers, and battling Coronation Street for ratings supremacy. The unquestioned star of the show was Noele Gordon, known to the nation as Nolly, who played the matriarchal, auburn-haired motel owner Meg Richardson (later Mortimer). The role had been created with Gordon in mind, and she remained Crossroads’ most popular character from the show’s launch in 1964 until 1981, when she was suddenly sacked. Her defenestration, and the reasons behind it, are the premise on which Russell T Davies has based his new three-part series, Nolly. ‘One of my very first jobs in TV was a trial script for Crossroads, and I’ve wanted to write the story of behind the scenes on that show for 40 years,’ he said. ‘Russell has always been a real supporter of the underdog,’ says Helena Bonham Carter, who portrays Gordon, complete with coiffure and carefully modulated accent. ‘He thought Nolly was really badly treated, and I think he wanted to give her the send-off and the recognition she deserved.’ Bonham Carter was ‘very aware’ of the soap as a child. ‘It was part of the perma-wallpaper, and I knew all the characters.’ She was immediately drawn to the complexity of the woman in Davies’ screenplay. ‘Nolly was a highly complicated character and a mix of many things – and not an easy mix,’ she says. ‘But I love playing people who are complex.’ Gordon was a child stage star who came from a modest background. She trained at Rada and went on to work both behind and in front of the television camera, becoming Britain’s first female TV executive; she helped Ned Sherrin and Reg Watson launch ATV Midlands in 1956, and was the first woman to interview a British prime minister when Harold Macmillan appeared on her chat show. Steeped in the workings of daytime television, Gordon was unafraid to voice her opinions on how things should be done on Crossroads. ‘She was outspoken, she was herself, she was utterly authentic,’ says Bonham Carter. ‘I think, frankly, she terrified the people who ran the show. And she was punished for that. It’s not new, is it, that women aren’t allowed to have a strong voice?’ Certainly, the first episode presents the ‘Queen of the Midlands’ as a daunting figure, swanning to the studios in mink coat and Rolls-Royce, changing a new character’s accent from Brummie to RP (in the teeth of the producer’s protests), and then playing an on-screen practical joke on the same rookie performer, after she dared to cast doubt on Gordon’s assertions of the programme’s popularity. But the series also shows how Gordon was greatly loved and respected by (most of) the people she worked with – particularly the actor Tony Adams. He played the motel’s suave, moustachioed accountant, Adam Chance, and in reality not only rented a flat from Nolly but was her closest ally – for, having been jilted by her fiancé, she never married or had children. ‘The show gave her a real sense of identity, belonging and purpose,’ says Bonham Carter. ‘She said she had two lives, as Meg Mortimer and Noele Gordon. And whenever she went to a hotel or a restaurant, inevitably they would take her to inspect the kitchen… the line was very smudged.’ As a result, Gordon lost far more than just her job when Charles Denton, the incoming controller of programmes at ATV, informed her agent that ‘all good things must come to an end’, a decision that this series lays squarely at the door of misogyny and ageism. ‘I think Nolly is quite right when she says, “You wouldn’t have sacked me if I’d been a man”,’ says Bonham Carter. ‘Men are allowed to be difficult and dictatorial. It really feels like Greek tragedy – she’s cut off in her prime.’ Gordon refused to take the decision lying down and complained to the press, resulting in national headlines, and sackfuls of irate letters sent to ATV from her devoted fans, while the series shows how producers retaliated by declining to tell Gordon how she would be written out and going to the extent of staging her fake funeral. Bonham Carter herself has never joined a long-running franchise. ‘Even after just two seasons with The Crown, by the end, with the best will in the world, you’re beginning to get a bit automatic – and if you’re faintly bored, it’s time to move on.’ Fortunately, at 56, her own career is as busy and diverse as ever. ‘We might have less collagen, but we’re much more interesting when we’re over 50,’ she says, with a laugh. ‘Life makes you more interesting, you’ve got more depth, the map of the soul is so much bigger if you’ve survived.’ Sadly, Gordon did not. She died of cancer in 1985, just four years after her sacking, while Crossroads itself only limped on until 1988. This charming series, and Bonham Carter’s portrayal, are a worthy tribute to a national treasure, and an overdue acknowledgment of the unjust treatment meted out to her.

[mr-tony-stark]

That scar on his lips. Jesus Tony wanted to kiss it so fucking badly. It would be so easy to do too. And he knew - he knew - if he did that's all it would take. They were both dancing that line of going too far and it would only take one of them to take the plunge over it and they'd end up in bed, telling each other they needed to stop while only going further faster and harder.

He put his thumb on it as he continued to hold him there, partially to cover it, and partially to feel the little indent under his skin. He wanted it to be his lips, but tonight, thumb would have to do. "Lucky me. I'm totally banking it. So no I told you so tonight. Tonight was good for me. So I'm taking that as my win."

In the dining room, he laughs as Clint points out that he was escalating the footsie. "I did consider going up higher, but I didn't want you to have to try and hide a raging boner from the others when you said goodbye. I'm thoughtful like that. You're welcome."

They tidy up together. The monopoly money goes back into the box, and the cards go back into the cupboard. Any leftovers get consolidated into a box and both it and the trash gets taken into the kitchen.

Tony turns and leans back against the kitchen bench and drags his teeth over his bottom lips. If there were lines drawn - THERE ARE NO LINES JUST BABY STEPS - what he was about to say would definitely cross them.

His eyes slide down Clint's body. He's not gotten to work out properly for over a month, and so he's starting to soften a little. He's still muscular, but his physique is beginning to resemble Tony's more than Steve's. Clint probably hates it. Not out of vanity, but because he needs to be fit. He needs those muscles to not just keep up, but to beat the supers he runs with. Still - he looks good. A little dancing around lines is probably fine for them.

"You need a cold shower too, huh?" he asked. "Be a shame to waste water."

THAT HAD FELT LIKE THE DAYS OF THE AVENGERS HE HAD MISSED. A bunch of avengers gathered around with each other, and the center of their focus not be solving some problem in the world or fighting some big bad guys. It had been fun, and this poker game served it's purpose of the risk with Clint tonight.

Flirting with Tony had definitely been a bold move, but Clint had never been good or particularly good at patience. He lets his shoulders slump down a little, lets his guard back down even if it really hadn't been up. Clint hates to admit that Tony's right, decides that Tony had won a I TOLD YOU SO.

Clint doesn't even see Tony turning on Clint, moving to crowd his personal space and it has him SMIRKING. The corner of his lips where his scar over, quirks upwards. ❝ MHHH ⸻ I like you so I'll let you BANK JUST THIS ONE ⸺ ❞ I like you, for playing his game at the time. I like you, if it wasn't clear; even when Clint and Tony were at odds. They were adult, could handle that and be complex people. ❝ Use it well. ❞ He says, feeling his breath catch and he knows how easy it would be tilt his head back, to angle his lips to meet Tony's.

THERE IT WAS, HE WAS ⸺ The possessive hand at the back of his neck, the Tony that raised his game of footsie. FLIRTING. Sobriety might be worth it, just for that. ❝ Baby steps, ha ⸺ awwww, baby. ❞ Clint drawls out his aww, only further proving the point that he was a tease.

WHENEVER, WHEREVER HE WAS STABLE IN A FEW MONTHS ⸻ THE PAY OFF TO THIS TENION BETTER BE WORTH IT.

Gonna need a cold shower. That sends a shiver up his spine, hopes that he MEANS IT. ❝ You're the one who brought his foot up to my thigh, if you had move just aa bit higher. ❞ He points out, and if Tony's needing a cold shower than he was too. Think he could convince him to conserve water and share?

That coy smile on Clint's lip softens, goes to a more neutral smile. Less flirty and more genuine as Tony expresses his own interest in doing things more like that. THAT HE DOESN'T DO IT ENOUGH. ❝ Yeah, you should try to do that more. ❞ That's not to exclude himself, because Clint missed that too. He should do that more too, if he can repair his friendships.

ARE YOU GOING TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT? ❝ Cheeky bastard ⸻ depends on that cold shower goes. ❞ He says, following Tony to help him clean up and poker game has given him a little more energy than he had before they had came back.

I Boop, Bap, and Bwamp you!

🐾Boop! (Tell me you current fluffy Steve/Tony daydream fic*)

📏Bap! (Tell me you current angsty Steve/Tony daydream fic)

🪭Bwamp! (Tell me you current smexy Steve/Tony daydream fic)

* daydream fic: a fic you might never write but it’s running thru your head when you get a minute

(send to 3 other Stony peeps askbox if you wanna)

Hehe this is cute! Thanks for sending this.

🐾Boop! - I spent an embarrassingly long time trying to think of something, and the closest thing I got is this idea of Steve drawing his dream man and then meeting and falling in love with Tony (see the third photo in the original post).

📏Bap! - Last week, I was hit with the sudden urge to write my abandoned WIP of post-EG Steve slipping out of time and in and out of Tony's life through the years when his quest to return the Stones goes awry. I want to write this SO BADLY, but I don't know if I'm skilled enough to write it.

🪭Bwamp! - Normally, I would have drawn a blank for this too, but while going through my WIPs (this is why I thought of the fic for #2 recently too), I rediscovered my post-CW hate sex WIP about Steve wanting to prove to an unconvinced Tony that he cares about him...which I think I kept secret until now or at least spoke about very rarely because I've never written a fic with any sex and I don't know if I'm any good at it. :^)) And now you all know that it exists!
