i keep thinking about rocket’s “there ain’t no thing like me ‘cept me” and how it’s presented initially as an indicator of who he is—his mouthiness, his independence, his absolute lack of knowledge of what a raccoon looks like—and like. it is those things! it is! but it’s also — yeah, so, the first time we hear it, there’s a hint of story behind it, like: who or what made rocket this?

and now we know it’s the high evolutionary, and now we know the other layer to that statement: yeah, rocket’s confident when he says there’s no thing like him, because a) they were all individual experiments for the same cause but b) because rocket, and therefore the ones ‘like’ him, were classified as defective, and he knows the high evolutionary killed them all

Hello!!! i’m so interested in the HB2 plot! I feel like we see peter angst way more commonly than Harley—so if you ever feel up for rambling about it under a cut or a spoiler tag this is a free space to do so! He really is my blorbo and you’re my favorite fic writer so I know whatever happens it’ll be amazingly done but I’m dying for hints at more of what that’ll look like! Are we talking, like, caught in the literal crossfire or devastating hostage situation 😂

okay before i do the harley rambles i!? I’m your favorite fic writer??? my guy what the FUCK that’s so sweet but also have u read any of sarah’s fics?? oddy’s parkner fic or oddy’s parksborn fic??? ANY of the Classic Iconic parkner fics circa 2020-2021?

i’m actually very VERY slowly making a parkner fic rec list to post at some point but just. WHAT. there are So many INCREDIBLE fic writers and saying i’m your favorite is BONKERS to me but also so nice i ??? thank you??? oh my god???? ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

okay anyway sorry to what the ask was actually about pfkfj, HARLEY!!! i agree it’s definitely a lot easier to come across peter angst than harley angst, which most likely has to do with the fact that there is a LOT of material to draw from for peter’s character—various movies, comics, shows, timelines and universes and the games. it’s a lot easier to come up with angst for peter because there’s a lot of canon angst to choose from AND there’s so much content for him that it’s a lot easier to get a grasp on his character and create angst based on that, you know? but as a fandom we have definitely created many ideas of harley based on when he was a kid in im3 and his cameo in endgame, plus the WEB comics + ride at avengers campus, so harley angst is for sure out there but like you said it is NOT easy to come across lmao

as for the HB2 plot—i have an ask in my drafts from like a month or two ago asking for more information about hb2 and i’m gonna try to finally finish answering that and post it sometime today, so that post will definitely include some insight in what to expect from the sequel, but harley in hb2 specifically? i GOTCHU.

OKAY !!! let's do this!!

so homeward bound, as i've said before, is PETER'S story post no way home, right? but in hb2 it's peter AND HARLEY'S story post homeward bound. the first chapter is a recap of the first fic from harley's pov with a lot of extra bits thrown in, starting on the day that thanos first snapped and ending either where the first fic ends or maybe in the summer between school years. unsure as of now but one of those, for sure. so that's going to offer a lot of perspective about harley's character in homeward bound - his thought processes, how he was feeling in a lot of key moments during the first fic, things he was doing while peter wasn't around, etc etc etc.

but in hb2, after the recap in the first fic, it picks up at the start of their second year at ESU. he might still be roommates with harry. he might not be. it won't be the same room at the very least, so no matter what, there's going to be some changes, right? but also:

everything is different.

there are the small changes - not the same room, harder classes as they climb their way through the pre-reqs, potentially a different roommate, some stuff happened over summer, etc.

but also there are the BIG changes, like his dynamic with peter, and knowing that peter is spidey and now being a part of keeping that a secret due to peter not wanting anyone else to know. he also knows about the spell and he knows that peter is someone tony loved, someone that pepper and morgan and happy and rhodey knew and cared about, and none of them remember him, but they know harley.

with harley's pov comes the reintroduction of the rest of the world, basically. peter has no one, right? his old life was completely destroyed and erased, leaving no connections to the people he used to know, so he's been VERY closed off from everyone and everything.

harley, however, still knows pepper and morgan and happy and rhodey. he still talks to them on a regular basis. he has his mom and his sister. he isn't closed off in classes like peter is, actually having conversations with his classmates, even if he has no interest in befriending them. peter's pov has been very limited because his world has been completely changed. harley's has been changed too via the loss of tony and him being dead for five years while his mom and his sister had to adapt to a life without him there, but it's not been changed to the extent of peter's, you know?

harley is going to have a few struggles in hb2, some centered around peter, some not. there's going to be family stuff. there's going to be this urge to tell pepper and them about peter because he thinks that peter would benefit from having these people in his life again but also he wants to respect the fact that peter doesn't feel ready to do that.

there's going to be some conflict about the people in his life learning that he's involved with spider-man's business somehow. there's going to be people getting angry at spider-man because of it.

a lot of mental and emotional turmoil is going to come out of all this. but, in the physical sense, he's not going to be entirely safe, either. again, people are going to realize he's somehow connected to spidey. he's going to want to do whatever he can do to help peter, to the point where he's going to get a little reckless with it sometimes.

caught in the crossfire? yeah.

hostage situation? no. at least, not in hb2. not that i currently have planned. that could change, but as of my current plans, no.

hope that's enough information to build some intrigue >:)

The biggest flaw in Iron Man 3 is that Rhodey’s password should not have been “WARMACHINEROX,” but rather “W4RM4CH1N3R0X.”

Discuss.

[myarmsaretoolong]

since doctor strange told us that dreams are glimpses into the multiverse i would like to circle back around to

“last night i dreamt we had a kid. it was so real. we named him after your eccentric uncle”

there’s a universe where pepper and tony had a little boy named morgan. and omg tony is so instant that it felt so real he really just saw himself living a happy safe life and thought. yes. this is the one i want

[the-faultofdaedalus]

consider: tva agent avenger squad consisting of variants of the og6 who are variants specifically because they were ones who tried to reach out and be closer to eachother. timeline says no you must beat the shit out of eachother later. they’re a squad because fuckin no one else wants to deal with them.

they watch the canon timeline inbetween missions eating popcorn and just going like “yikes”

[616s]

Okay, I swear I’ll shut up after this but like I’m just! I’m tired of writers being like “Tony needs someone to watch over him because he’s a man-child lol! lololol!” like? Can we stop. Can we stop. Sure, sometimes he does things that are less than useful for himself, but it’s less him being a man-child/lazy and more him not caring about what happens to him. 

And, if you writers are adamant on doing this... can y’all stop pushing a (usually redheaded) woman into the role of his “caretaker” like lol. Make him learn it himself. Stop making characters into nothing more than a source of Tony’s man-pain or his girlfriend-mom.

[fallenstar88]

Same energy.

[chiliconsharls]

it’s been four days & i’m still thinking about the fact that rhodey was the first to come close to tony dying, that rhodey was the first to see him die. 

rhodey, who’s been there for him since day fucking 1, was the first person to see him go

[bookworm-jedi]

The scene where spiderman is having a panic attack while the press are asking him question about “what’s next” and “who’s the next leader/iron man”. It reminded me of Tony’s first panic attack in IM3 when the little boy asked him how he got out of the wormhole. And now I’m a mess

[starkcontrasts]

I solemnly swear to never forget Tony Stark

[chronicowboy]

do you think tony got the idea for the ai name edith from a night watching downton abbey with happy during the 5 years? do you think he heard lady edith and his brain went 'even dead I'm the hero'? do you think he knew it would be needed and peter would be the one needing it? do you think happy can't bring himself to watch the show anymore? do you think he hears 'edith' and he is anything but his name? do you think tony knew how much of an impact he'd leave on people even with just a name, just a show?

[tonystarkisafruit]

I literally have "MK 42" tattooed onto my body bc of how important seeing Tony have an anxiety attack and then still kicking ass was to me.

I really thought I'd be way more upset that Tony dies but instead I'm just like, 'yeah that's about right.'

[eohachu]

when i drift off, i will dream about you.

[allofthefeelings]

Something I’d never noticed from Iron Man 3 before: Tony built Harley a mini mechanical arm (name appears to be ABB).

Because no beginning workshop is complete without a Dum-E to hang out with.

[agentrandom]

They got me feeling things with these parallels
