Irondad fic ideas #154

CW: this one's pretty gruesome. read at your own risk 

Peter is a young child who's been kidnapped. His parents and/or his aunt and uncle were killed and he was taken. Along with a bunch of other little kids, he's been held captive and experimented on.

When the Avengers suddenly bust the kidnapping operation, the kidnappers try at the last second to destroy their research. They gas the small room where the kids are being held.

It's Iron Man who ends up blasting through. What he finds is horrifying. All but one of the children are dead.

The one who's left is just sitting among the bodies, crying, shocked, terrified. Iron Man carries him out of there, then once they're safe from the gas Tony steps out of the suit to comfort the kid while he's given oxygen.

Little 5-year-old Peter Parker imprints on his savior hard.

He just went through an unimaginable amount of trauma, then Iron Man burst through like an avenging angel. This is the first time he's ever felt protected in his memory. Tony holds the crying kid, and the kid can tolerate no one else near him.

This becomes a slight problem when they get back to base. But Tony can't find it in him to let SHIELD take the kid away, let them strip him of this one tiny bit of comfort. He keeps seeing all those other kids when he closes his eyes.

This one needs him right now. And if "right now" eventually becomes "this is my son," well. Who could've predicted that.

took myself on a little shopping trip yesterday in the city where i used to study in hopes of lifting my spirits but by the end of the day i felt so disheartened. wandering the same streets 10 years later and not much has changed. i’m still the same lonely unlovable girl.

Tbh, nothing has made me sympathize more with Kipperlilly Copperkettle than her anger issues.

Cause anger is an emotion we feel when we're missing something. When we need something and can't get it. It's a balm to make us feel better when things don't go our way.

When things aren't fair.

{ He is slowly but surely getting done, both in icons and character information. God forbid him having proper tags any time soon though, but at least I'm doing something. Character information can be found here so far, just know it's not finished yet. }

For anyone else who may need to hear this today:

You will find people in your life who exactly what you can give is enough

You are allowed to set boundaries, you are allowed to not give everything

Looking after yourself means you can give more in the long run

You are enough

when I was a very impressionable, socially stunted and nerdy gay 14 year old, my high school drama club put on a production of dracula, and I had never read it. i was in the crew, and mostly just sat around the auditorium and watched them rehearse. all the main roles were played by a friend group who had incredibly fun to watch chemistry off stage. the Dracula was this very very VERY tall person with long hair who was in my chorus class and insisted on singing soprano from time to time despite naturally being a bass (... estrogen when, queen?). the Johnathan was this short Flynn-Rider-from-Rapunzel-looking twink who was (in my mind) fought after by women around him. the Jonathan and the Dracula intentionally made their interactions extra homoerotic (I overheard them talking to the English teacher director about it one day) and would spend off time at rehearsal trying to do the dirty dancing "time of my life" lift. because I was 14, I unironically shipped them. the Mina was so beautiful and had a face that, imo, would be cast in one of those terrible BBC/netflix period dramas now. she had been friends with the other two since before I started high school. because I was a polyamorous 14 year old, I also shipped the Jonathan with the Mina. i had a crush on the person who played Lucy in the cast since middle school, they were my age but so cool and likeable they melted into the older drama kid friend circle effortlessly. i had some interesting emotions about the scene where Lucy is covered in blood in a wedding dress. during the final cast and crew party, the Dracula threw a chocolate flower into the group and I caught it then proceeded to hold onto it for years after. then they all graduated, besides the Lucy. anyway, those are the versions of all the characters that live in my head when I read my Dracula daily.

hate funerals bc the last one i went to my friend cried in front of everyone that she was to blame for her brothers death and it broke my heart like idk why anyone thinks speaking in front of a group is emotionally healing right after a death i think it can cause the bereaved way more confusion and pain tbh like theyve barely had a few days to confront what happened and you want them to speak eloquently in front of friends and loved ones? im sure some can and do find it healing, but the way many people force people to go up and speak bc they'll "feel better" or regret it is so mean and cruel in my eyes

Love it when I stumble upon a new blog for someone I used to write with like, five years ago, and find out I'm still blocked. Homie. Was the beef that bad.

I'm in the metro and theres what appears to be an entire class of fourth graders in here on what i assume is a class trip. props to the teachers here who look super at ease in a packed subway car with their kids; it's not an impossible task by any means, im pretty comfortable with transit-with-large-group-of-children procedure myself, but its smth i know can be super nerve-wracking (it definitely took Years for me to be confident about it)

Instead of rise vs 12 tmnt for Mikey, I have another idea:

Make it so that 12 Mikey gets accidentally turtlenapped by the Rise guys due to mystic shenanigans and the rest of the 12 family goes on an absolute warpath to get him back thinking he's being hurt or tortured or something.

Meanwhile, the rise fam go oops? And chill around while waiting to send back 12 Mikey or for his family to get him back.

(Pls tell me this exists, I now have the urge to read it)

just desperately need to type out some thoughts for this wip, gonna do it in the tags, don't mind me

[madamescarlette]

I saw your tags on that post about how reading prepares you to live and it always makes me insane because like, it's literally neurological, the mind experiences everything as stories and responds to stories in the same way that it does real life just with fewer consequences and what it means is that books allow you to experience things before they happen so your brain can run through the permutations of what you might do in that situation so when it actually happens you can survive it more easily, it's like a vaccine or something and you probably already knew that but if you didn't now you do because it makes me so excited it's not even like just a spiritual or metaphorical thing, we need stories to survive on a physical level

GRACIE I loooove this so much and I actually had never even thought of looking into this before!! I think it's such a sweet way to consider it to, like stories for us are building blocks that help our brains figure out how to react, how to believe and how to survive, that's just so meaningful and loving to me!!! And like not only are stories enriching things for us, things that bring color to our lives etc., but that they're also tools, literally useable things that we can miss when they're gone.....OCH that is so happymaking for me!
