tony stark or nothing at all

-----------

Me, away from tumblr for years, living my life:

Loki: "You can smell the cologne of two tony Starks"

Me:

“I’m not half as good at – at anything as I am when I’m doing it next to you. And that’s the truth.”

hulk banner, a being on a similar power level as thanos, could hardly contain their power when he first slipped on the stark gauntlet and then passed out after snapping. even thanos himself yelled out in pain; 1. every time he added a stone to his gauntlet during infinity war 2. when he acquired the mind stone, completing the whole set at the end of infinity war and 3. when he stole the stark gauntlet from the heroes and put it on in endgame. and then there’s tony stark, human mortal in his early 50s, who put all six stones on at once and barely flinched at the pain.

the point isn’t “tony stark still died after using the stones”

Both Thanos and the Hulk are physically tough, they don’t feel pain often. So when the stones hurt them they didn’t know how to handle it hence the screaming. They never learned how to take pain.

But Tony has been in extreme pain since 2008. The stones were just another source of suffering and something he could handle. He may not be as strong as them but pain was an old friend to him.

what they always do is they mess with your mind, like they totaly rip it appart, the power is to much for most people, one gem alone could turn you mad, e.g. the time stone has made people go crazy with the knowledge of what could happen

imagine all information of all realities and all posible outcomes every thought evryone is thinking at any time in any timeline, the balance of the universe, every system and every atom visualized and all it will ever do in all realitys, 

everything is pressed into your head at once, you have no chance of understanding it, of comprehending what is happening, most people go mad using the gauntlet because of that

it takes will and mental strenght to beat it, dont look back dont worry about what might be dont listen to the voices, dont get distracted by every posible outcome that might happen

FOCUS

on what you want to do, one wrong thought and everything is downhill, 

so Tony not only fought physical pain, he took all the emotions of every unsiverse and every thought in it into his brilliant, messed up, wounderfull mind he saw everything that ever was and ever would be

and he didnt even flinch

beside everything that was thrown uppon him

he focused on what was important

you know what, maybe we don’t need marvel to give him a tribute featured on a bluray that not many people will buy these days, the world is giving him one 24/7

Marvel: *sits with their thumbs up their asses*

What I really need is MCU!Steve meeting his multiverse counterparts and just. Getting yelled at.

Esp AA!Steve and 616!Steve, oh man. They’d lay into him.

“That is not how we treat Tony! That is not how you care for your Tony!”

MCU!Steve: But Bucky—

616!Steve: Bucky’s gonna be fine! He joins the Avengers! Tony upgrades his arm! He gets to sleep with Natasha of all people!

Ults!Steve: And honestly, how ungrateful you’re being. Your Tony doesn’t even have brain cancer or an evil twin. You think you’d cherish what you have a little more.

MCU!Steve: But—
