steve rogers apologist

But I think it also works really well as an analogy for who they are. Steve Rogers as the embodiment of a calm, cool and collected facade that can turn into a raging stormy sea at the drop of a hat. He’s all about that emotional repression, but right underneath the surface you have TURMOIL, LIFE and ACTIVITY and this whole other world to which only a few are privy. Steve Rogers is the shift of undersea tectonic plates; he is the eruption of underwater volcanoes creating tsunamis but also new islands. The ocean is a force of nature, volatile and dangerous, but is simultaneously the cradle of life; Steve Rogers is the balance of a fighter, a soldier, but also a protector and defender. Steve Rogers is the violent crash of waves across a rocky shore, the force which breaks down rock into sediment and sand. He is every sandcastle and every beach dreamed up by a child. Mankind has no claim over the ocean; it is what it is, it goes where it wills and bows to no person, no nation. What do borders and artificial boundaries mean to the currents of the ocean? The ocean will drown armies and flood cities, but also nurture communities and support the burden of every living thing on Earth. All roads and rivers lead back to the ocean. Steve Rogers is the terrifying loneliness of shark infested waters; Steve Rogers is the warmth of caribbean waters and coral reefs. The ocean is all azure blue waters, and according to Tony Stark, Steve Rogers is all azure blue eyes. 

And Tony Stark belongs to the stars, to space, to infinity. Every stride in human progress has led us towards the stars; every innovation, every curiosity, every development has brought us one step closer to exploring this greatest unknown. Tony Stark is the human embodiment of this innovative spirit and determination. To boldly go indeed. Tony Stark is the crushing silence and desolation of space; Tony Stark is the howl of solar winds and the binding, inescapable, force of gravity holding us all together. He is made of light and illusion; he is the stars that shine from billions of lightyears away, who have already gone supernova, who simultaneously exist and don’t. Tony Stark is the terrifying chaos and collision of the universe, of roiling galaxies and stars orbiting black holes. He is the safety of the infinitely ephemeral balance we have struck within this universe, allowing us to exist and thrive and ensure that life, always, always finds a way. Tony Stark is the iron, the heavy metals, forged in the core of the oldest stars. The metals that burned up the fuels of these stars and caused them to die; the metals that make possible all life on Earth. Tony Stark is how sometimes the spaces and darkness between stars, are as compelling as the stars themselves. 

I got beat up in that alley. And that parking lot. And behind that diner.

Did you have something against running away?

You start running they’ll never let you stop. You stand up, push back… Can’t say no forever right?

Joss Whedon: So, after Chris tears the log, you’re going to be a little bit angry, a little bit intimidated-

RDJ: Thirsty as hell, got it.

Joss: … No, like, threatened, or defensive, or-

RDJ: Horny as I’ve ever been in my life. Understood.

This old men SteveTony trend makes me want to draw again 🥵

Iron Man (2008): Deleted Scenes

can you imagine though, jarvis all alone in tony’s malibu house? jarvis who of course doesn’t have any physical form at all, jarvis who at this point occupies just the house and tony’s phone–jarvis, who is dependent on tony for everything, who lives essentially in tony’s pocket, suddenly being completely alone for the first time in his silicon life.

and every ten minutes on the dot for days and days and days he accesses the latest news reports, re-calculating and re-calculating tony’s chances at survival, endlessly running the numbers. and nobody told him to do that. tony’s house was empty and dark and nobody told jarvis to keep an eye on the news but he did. jarvis could have just spun down his hard drives and gone into hibernate mode, but he didn’t.
