I AM IRON MAN.

ARCHEARTS. PRIVATE / LOW ACTIVITY TONY STARK.

laurel (she / her). 30+ years young. CST. thanks to my full-time job and enjoying most of my minimal free time offline, my time for tumblr has become increasingly small. THAT SAID: i’m usually most available via my IMs (best IMs to reach me at are here) or discord so, pleeeaaaaase, feel free to message me ANY time! i'm good at replying in those places, and definitely prefer to plot out dynamics and things (also very happy to write on discord tbh) so, please, don't be shy! quick note: my portrayal is primarily based on my own interpretation / headcanons, with bits of mcu and comic influence tossed in as i see fit (i'm not a big comic reader so i just do what i can lol)!

"𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐔𝐋, I don’t need that big aqua-guy knocking down my door.” 

NAME : laurel FACECLAIM :  david gandy PRONOUNS : she/her HEIGHT :  5′6″ BIRTHDAY :  january 12th AESTHETIC :  uhhHhHHHm fall / winter weather, graphic tees, cozy sweaters, black or grey nails (if not natural), rainy days, disney (everything), showtunes, a cup of tea in the morning (and maybe at night), cat curled up on a soft throw -- does that work? lol  LAST  SONG  YOU  LISTENED  TO :   can’t help falling in love  by bruce springsteen FAVORITE  MUSE (S)  YOU’VE  WRITTEN : i love them all tbh??? i’m proud of what i’ve put into my john bender account, i love writing steve (harrington) and all of my others! but my favorite is probably always gonna be mr. rick grimes -- i’m pretty happy with how i’ve portrayed him, and he’s my longest muse with 5 years on his blog in october...yowza. 

* GETTING  TO  KNOW  THE  ACCOUNT :

WHAT  INSPIRED  YOU  TO  TAKE  ON  THIS  MUSE : it was actually done on an absolute whim, really. i was interested in trying my hand at a marvel muse, and my pal, theo suggested tony to me as something they thought i could portray well (they also gave me The Perfect faceclaim). so here i am!  WHAT  ARE  YOUR  FAVORITE  ASPECTS  OF  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE :  good question. i do like trying to come up with my own interpretation that still feels authentic to the character? i like taking a mix of things and really coming up with what i feel is my own, unique take -- if that makes sense?? i just like getting a little deeper with tony and really trying to flesh him out as a human being -- the good, the bad, and everything in between. idk if that’s an answer but it’s all i got lmao 

WHAT’S  YOUR  BIGGEST  INSPIRATION  WHEN  IT  COMES  TO  WRITING : well, i haven’t actually had the time / energy to write in...a long time so that’s The Big question lmao but usually? i like just sitting quietly and focusing on writing -- sometimes rewatching a movie or something like that can really jog the muse, but i wouldn’t say i have a set “inspiration” for writing per say. 

FAVORITE  TYPES  OF  THREADS : i like things that can really dig deep and flesh out our muses -- deep or serious conversations with good amounts of dialogue and internal dialogue. i also WILL ALWAYS love nice, fluffy things whether it’s fun friendship stuff / family stuff / shippy stuff -- i’m always here for some wholesomeness to balance out the heavy angst (cause i love that, too).

BIGGEST  STRUGGLE  IN  REGARDS  TO  YOUR  CURRENT  MUSE :  he still feels relatively new to me??? and since my ass is so slow, it can be hard to jump back into his voice after long periods away -- harder than it is for muses i’ve held for a longer time, yknow?? and sometimes i just get unsure of myself so it throws me off kldfjsdf but overall, i LOVE exploring tony when i can -- it’s mostly become a lack of time or energy to write issue with all my blogs lately.
