DP x DC x Marvel

This is an idea I had yesterday, but I didn't want it to be swept away from the Dannypocalypse, so let's gooooo!

The Lazarus Pits are just more than just leaked ectoplasm into the material world, they're unstable rifts that could potentially tear apart the whole Infinite Realms! (The Fenton Portal doesn't count because technology keeps it stable.)

While one or two could be somehow manageable, the League of Assassins found a way to recreate them and the new model was definitely more unstable than the old ones...

SO this clearly needed an intervention.

Luckily, Clockwork has two apprentices heroes that own them some favors...

This is how Danny Fenton/Phantom, Peter Parker/Spider-man and the ghost of one (1) Tony Stark (as an emotional support ghost) found themselves being loaned to the DC Universe to close every single one of these Pits.

(Danny became CW's unofficial apprentice after they helped him with TUE.)

(@stealingyourbones @ashoutinthedarkness @the-sprog if y'all are interested... >:3c)

(Spoilers from Spider-man: No Way Home under the cut.)

(Peter is the one from the MCU after No Way Home, but he gets his happy ending thanks to CW who fixed Strange's Spell and so MJ and Ned still remember him... in exchange for a future favor, AKA being transferred to the DCU to fix things.)

rdj the (whitewashed) electric boogaloo

This is a reminder to everyone who's excited about RDJ's casting as Doctor Doom that this casting is whitewashing. Victor Von Doom is a Romani character and has been a Romani character since his introduction in the 1960s. (Fantastic Four Annual #2 [1964]) Not only that, but his Roma identity and the persecution he and his family faced due to it is integral to his character, it is what forms his identity. (Books of Doom by Ed Brubaker) Even if on the off chance this casting is meant to not be Victor but instead be some variant of Tony or whomever else becoming Doctor Doom, it is damaging to the character to rob him of that important cultural background. Doctor Doom does not exist without that history. Fans have been pushing hard to cast Doom as a Romani actor for years, especially since the MCU has whitewashed other Romani characters. (Wanda, Pietro, etc) This casting is not a celebration moment, it's fucking heartbreaking that the MCU repeatedly ignores the important and nuanced cultural backstories of characters.

I know I can't change anybody's mind on whether or not you want to be excited about RDJ's return to the MCU. But I do think at the very least you should be mad that the MCU is baiting us all and destroying nuanced and interesting characters for the sake of self-referential easter eggs and nostalgia bait. Because that's what it is. Feel how you'd like to feel about RDJ's return, but personally, this is soul-sucking. I had such a deep love for the MCU as a teenager, it was obviously something incredibly formative to me, especially Tony Stark. This isn't recreating what I fell in love with the MCU for. This is turning a well-planned and artistic storyline of adaptations into cheap cash grabs and fan service. Because, I think we're past the point of being able to call the MCU an adaptation of anything. They can use existing characters' names and powers, but to say they're being properly adapted is laughable.

This is not an adaptation of Doctor Doom. This is RDJ the Electric Boogaloo because Marvel's fear of losing the interest of dedicated MCU fans overrides their willingness to tell stories that are genuine to the characters. I don't know what there is to be excited about that. The MCU has lost its authenticity and aside from a few projects, feels heartless. Every movie is a copy of a copy. This announcement isn't something celebratory, it feels like a death knell of a cinematic universe that's so desperate to cling to relevancy it's resorting to nostalgia for a character/actor who hasn't even been dead for a decade. We're not getting anything new, we're just rinsing and repeating the same song and dance.

I get it. I love Tony Stark, his death destroyed me and I to this day, rue the ending he got in Endgame. It misunderstood his arc and it robbed him of a satisfying conclusion. But the solution to that isn't dragging the corpse out of the grave five years later to whitewash an existing character with rich and interesting nuance, just to forcibly tie his existence in the MCU to Tony. Whether he is a variant or not. Why would you want someone else's fave's legacy to be destroyed simply so your fave's legacy can go on? Hell, if we were really all so hellbent on the return of RDJ and/or Tony to the MCU, we have the multiverse for a reason. There were other ways to do it that didn't whitewash and ruin someone else. This just. Isn't something to be happy about.

I like to think that everyone loves Peter Parker (MCU) and they all are trying to get adoption papers for him lmao

[winterspiderpurrs]

Okay but Peter getting kidnapped. The doe eyed innocent, science puns, very conservative with clothes and layers. The one who isn't associated with the business. Sure he had some basic training to help protect himself. But he wasn't like the rest of them.

And Tony and his men doing all they can to hunt down the person who took Peter and to rescue him.

They were not expecting a dinning hall full of dead bodies.

Peter sitting at the head of the table. Sitting on the lap of someone with a knife in his eye. He was in what appears to be a lacey teddy lingerie. Calmly sipping the lobster bisque. He had on a metal collar that was chained to the chair. A gun sitting next to the half empty glass of white wine. Bullet shells scattered around.

" Oh good! You're here! My neck is starting to hurt"

Irondad fic ideas #146

Karen is missing someone.

She's an AI, so she's not exactly supposed to have "feelings" the way a human would, but... what other way is there to explain it? Someone is supposed to be in her life, and they are not. She wants them back.

The problem is, she can't find any record of why she feels this way. There are no important people in her database who are currently missing, no gaps in her code that she can find. The only curiosity is the fact that she seems to no longer be helping Spider-Man.

That used to be her prime objective. Her entire reason for being. Maybe he's the one she's missing? She can't find any data to indicate that they were close, but perhaps that is a curiosity too. Surely, if Spider-Man wore a mask with her programming for all that time, she would know who he was, would have some record of their conversations.

With FRIDAY's (and Tony's! let my guy live!) help, Karen is untethered from the Spider-Man suit. She goes searching through every piece of tech she has access to for her missing friend.

When she finds him, she'll figure out what's wrong. And she'll help him fix it. It's what she was designed to do.

Here is your daily reminder that is possible to like both Tony and Steve without shipping them, and you all dragging up every characters mistake when someone says they like one or the other just shows how unimaginative and shallow you are

[fuckingpajamas]

Rewatching Captain America: Civil War, followed by Avengers: Endgame and going absolutely feral over this detail:  When Tony and Cap finally meet at the compound and speak alone, Tony opens the trunk of his car to reveal Cap’s shield. As he hands it to him, we see that the scratches that had been caused during their fight in Siberia are gone. The shield is in pristine condition.  Civil War took place sometime in 2016 while Endgame is set in 2023. Tony held onto Steve’s shield for 7 years. No doubt tucked away in some corner of the garage, avoiding the grim reminder of their last meeting because he can’t stomach the thought. Until one night, when he goes to grab one of his long forgotten tools and spots a familiar red and blue shield, staring back at him until he’s finally had enough.  He sets it on the table, hands gently running over the marks that look deeper than they feel. The cold metal feels simultaneously soothing and abrasive against his fingertips and for a split second, panic washes over Tony, a phantom ache pulsing in his chest.  Regardless of the whirlwind of emotions Tony feels, he fixes it. He takes a few days, carefully filling the scratches and scuffs, perfectly matching the paint down to the last drop. He takes his time fixing it, not because he wants to care, but because he misses Steve. This is the last piece of him that he has and he takes care of it. He takes care of it and he saves it, because he loves it.  And when Steve thanks him for the shield, it feels as though it’s more. As if he wants to say: Thank you, for forgiving me.  At the risk of sounding gratuitous, I see this is a very poetic metaphor for both sides of their relationship. Steve’s shield can represent many, many things, but I think it represents his strength- both inside and out -which to many makes him nearly indestructible (exactly like vibranium) only to reveal that it can be flawed and with enough pressure.. it breaks.  Tony is also one of the only things that can ‘break’ Cap. He’s the only person important enough to leave a mark, proving that he’s just as human as everyone else.  On Tony’s side of this metaphor, I like to think the dropping of his shield is akin to Steve’s abandonment of Tony in order to save Bucky. The entire collapse of their previous relationship after Civil War is so incredibly layered yet it can come down to two still images. A shield, bloodied and scarred, abandoned on the floor of a desolate Siberian bunker to rot.  Followed by a shield, polished and brought to perfection, mended to reflect the healing scars both men left each other after their last encounter. No matter how much Tony hurts Steve, or how often Steve runs away, they always come back to each other.

Peter: We’re weird, aren’t we?

Tony: No, we’re fantastic.

Peter: What’s the difference?

[mattzerella-sticks]

I need either Tony Stark or Emma Frost to, when Orchis is defeated, ask how they should go about going divorced only for the other to say that maybe they should stay married for now... just in case...

And they keep pushing off their divorce because they fall in love for real.
