‘Don’t bite the hands that feed you.”

Wait ok so here's my not very good prompt/idea and moodboard its trash please take free reign... And my messy first draft while very high...gulp..

Tony stark: upper class rich family, child abuse and neglect fuck Howard, big political figure milliatry command maybe nazi support, expected and forced into tony. Unhealthy standards of masculinity, Maria stark teaches him cooking when Howard is busy with work, shows him how to sew and first aid (abuse), Jarvis would be there for him as a father figure and support. Genious engineer and mechanic, mostly behind Howard's back. Evil Obadiah grooming still but at the expense of him wanting to engineer (stane is Howard's right man or something)

Peter Parker: lower middle class, orphaned young and skip happens (important), Ben passes still may is still elderly like original may, country kinda guy is hired by snobs for hunting training and rabbit control, lives in a small not very good cabin with nah but at no charge for him to do farmwork, and be at rich people's disposal. He constantly has to fix the rundown farm tractor and ute + tinkers with parts to improve their living, diy energy generator and so on, sneaks out to ride or "borrow" thrown away and unused scraps etc from the rich.

The reason why skip is included is for some kinda scene along the lines of tony coming across the pretty looking scruffy hunter guide or something to do with barn work or farm work Peter easily fixing his vehicle (carrying the hunting gear or kills or hay or whatever) he's impressed but Starks don't show it or show weakness or treat the lesser equal, makes some chit chat then is further impressed with the ease Peter mends and the lack of focus needed + his on the spot repair without the needed tools so he calls him "Einstein/little Einstein" amongst a tiny special sentence...Peter turns pounces and punches him square in the nose, angry on-top of him pulls up by Tony's collar gets in his face despite Tony's bleeding nose and then yells in his face something like "don't you FUCKIN CALL ME THAT YOU HEAR ME? BE FUCKIN THANKFUL I DIDNT BREAK YOUR NOSE" tony goes to say something witty and snarky maybe even call him it again but notices his fists are trembling and he seems to be on the verge of a panic attack, and he punched him wrong due to fight response and broke a knuckle, takes him to the barn where there's a first aid kit (his secret safe space) and bandages him up, they sit in tense silence then Peter apologises, tony plays it off cool and ignore his own feeling of someone being in HIS safe space. Tony tinkers in here and Peter makes small talk on one the inventions or improvements.

Tony don't wanna follow Howard's steps or take his position in the military, breaking the cycle of his entire family name, coming to terms with being gay dramatic him Peter secret friendship to try outsmart the other find out they can go toe to toe with ease then just be good friends learn bout each other cue a particularly bad beating from Howard which results in him going down stairs fracturing 2 ribs (not the first time) it's stormy he leaves (Starks can't be weak) goes to barn but doesn't realise Peter has been sneaking in taking parts and Peter gets spooked, tony gets spooked and then don't speak but Peter helps tend to tony and keeps tinkering, tony sets up his hay bed (his safe space to be "weak") Peter gives him his jacket goes back to his cabin but comes back to Tony's shock with blankets n pillows and his tinker book.

Cue gay crisis after a kiss in Pete's ute or something

Basically sound of music kinda thing where he and Pete run away cause tony wants no part in the military or nazi support then also the princess bride thing is just the whole "as you wish" Pete behaviour then brokeback cause it's country Pete hello anyway may passes at some point and Maria knows about him and Peter and is confused about two boys but is ok as long as Tony's happy, sex ofcourse but it is Tony's first with a guy so that's sweet they both switch who's top or not.

Eventually kinda happy ending ( they leave everything behind so that's both sad but good, Peter has no family, both are gay, government after them but rhodey oh sweet rhodey is on their side )

This morning Match 25, 2025 farmworker leader and organizer Alfredo Juarez, better known as Lelo, was detained violently by ICE. He was on his way to drop off his partner at her workplace, and ICE agents broke his car window when he tried to exercise his rights. We feel this is a targeted attack on farmworker leadership, and we must not allow this to continue.

Lelo's leadership and activism have been viral in protecting farmworkers and immigrants rights and well-being. He has been serving our communities since he was 12 years old and continued to be a guiding light.

We are demanding that our friends contact the Attorney General, Governor and our elected leaders for them to take action and help in the release of Lelo.

We must not allow any more attacks on workers. As unions, community organizations, student groups and people who have decency, we demand that ICE stays out of Washington and let workers be at peace. Immigrants are not the enemy, we are part of the worker movement towards justice which includes fair wages, healthcare, education, housing and solidarity.

Join us in person TODAY March 25 at Ferndale Detention Center in solidarity! Contact Liz Darrow at 360-220-9065 for more information.

On this day - December 3, 1970

Cesar Chavez Jailed For Leading Boycott Against Coercive Farmers

On December 3, 1970, Cesar Chavez was jailed for his refusal to end a boycott on farmers who engaged in coercive, violent, and unjust labor practices against Latino migrant farmworkers. During the summer of 1970, farm owners in California’s Salinas Valley, with the assistance of the Teamsters Union, used coercive tactics to prevent Latino migrant farm workers from joining Cesar Chavez’s United Farm Workers union. In response, the United Farm Workers union organized a massive strike in the Salinas Valley.

As retaliation for participating in the strike, farm owners fired hundreds of Latino migrant farmworkers and targeted the workers with violence. Striking farmworkers and leaders of the United Farm Workers were attacked and beaten throughout the strike, and in November 1970, the offices of the United Farm Workers in the Salinas Valley were bombed.

As the strike continued, movement leader Cesar Chavez organized a boycott of lettuce produced by farms that had used coercive tactics against the United Farm Workers. The farm owners sought an anti-boycott injunction, which was granted by a Monterey County judge. When Mr. Chavez refused to end the boycott, he was charged with contempt of court for violating the injunction. On December 3, 1970, Judge Gordon Campbell sentenced Mr. Chavez to an indefinite jail term and warned him that “improper and evil methods cannot be used to achieve even noble objectives.”

Cesar Chavez spent 21 days in jail before being released on December 24, 1970. He was held in an isolation cell but received visits from Coretta Scott King, widow of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Ethel Kennedy, widow of Robert F. Kennedy. In early 1971, the California Supreme Court held that the injunction against the strike was unconstitutional, and Cesar Chavez's contempt conviction was overturned.
