armor kink by @mixed_blessing

Tony heard about Bucky refusing to talk to redwing and took it very personally (talking to robots is his #1 hobby and people do not get to act like its beneath them) so tony built bucky a flying robot to follow him around the compound full time, beeping happily and whirring. And it would stop, Bucky just had to ask it nicely.

It was supposed to be a prank but Bucky refused for so long that he got attached to the little bot and it became somewhat comforting. He would never admit it, but the little bot following him around made him feel like he had a friend, and anyone staring at him (for his past, and who he is) could just be written off as looking at the bot. Its like having a full time ice breaker ready.

pose reference by mellon_soup used !

a little casual stony thing to close off march since I literally havent drawn anything but my ocs the entire time... also sorry to the devout stucky fans that follow me that will be disappointed to know that I have a multishipper heart but pls let me know if this looks good 👍

Captain America. Steve. I look at your handsome face… into your clear, azure eyes… And, as ever, i feel the same guilty envy. The man’s heart is vast and full of positive emotion, unlike mine. I feel like a snail or a tortoise, lumbering along in my shell, whenever i’m with Steve. So clumsy and so safe next to his grace and daring. —Tony Stark, Tales of Suspense Vol. 2 #1

the tragedy of tumblr is you will inevitably meet people who you should be having a sleepover with. you should be rolling around on their floor and rummaging through their fridge and watching shitty movies with. you should be shopping with should be going out to a cafe with should be wandering through the aquarium with. people who you should be experiencing quotidian joys with... and you cannot! because they live one million miles away

deep in the trenches again.. so defeated my artblock with a tony

hc that tony tends to call any visible injury "a scratch", not to downplay it but because he thinks of his body like a car with a nice paint job

the thing about tony stark right, is that his origin story is so obviously a set up for a villain. he’s a playboy billionaire who gets blindsided and kidnapped by a mentor/father -figure, and killed for coin. his actual parents are murdered when he’s 17. he’s been ostracised and strung up for the entertainment of others his entire life, and he could’ve gone bad at any time

he could’ve gone bad during his MIT days when he finally escaped from under his father’s thumb and experienced the world without the pressure of Howard Stark, he could’ve gone bad at 17 when he became an orphan and suddenly had to manage a conglomerate, he could’ve gone bad at any point during his widely successful career at a weapon’s manufacturer because the whole world called him the Merchant of Death, he could’ve gone bad after Afghanistan when he found out that he’d been betrayed beyond belief

but he always makes the choice to do good

even when faced with real and valid reasons to say fuck it and go rouge, tony’s actions are guided by his morality and his desire to do good in the world

and i just think that makes him such a compelling character 

Never bring a knife to a gun fight… Unless you’re Natasha Romanoff or Bucky Barnes. Then by all means bring a friggin letter opener if you like, the guy with the gun is doomed either way.

or Sam Wilson

#funny how sam always gets left off the list #even though he’s canonically the one who ACTUALLY BROUGHT A KNIFE TO A GUN FIGHT (x)

10 years of Captain America: the Winter Soldier and Anothony Mackie’s badass debut as Sam Wilson.

He is far too underrated as a fighter. This man can take you out on land and in the air.

Sam Wilson as a pararescue jumper was a member of the most elite special forces in the U.S. military. “Superman School” is the nickname of the PJ training in real life. See one of the number of documentaries or reports on YouTube and Discovery. There is also a wonderful write-up from Reddit.

Tumblr's Most Seen Movies

I know there's a couple of these going around but I wanted to make one using the results of @haveyouseenthismovie-poll to determine what tumblr's favorite movies were.

no one requested this but here are some of my favorites details about steve and also some of the many reasons i love him:

1. his baby shoes and baby picture in the museum exhibit from tfatws. i know EVERYONE was a baby, but having evidence steve in fact was one too makes my heart melt and so does the comparison of his tiny shoes and big ones being side by side.

2. him writing his lines for the USO show on the back of his shield to help him memorize them. ‘girls’ ‘cap’ … he’s so cute.

3. him cupping bucky’s face when he finds him at azzano. it is public knowledge i am a stevebucky enthusiast but even if i wasn’t … the tenderness and easiness of touch is so sweet ☹️.

4. him clearing the howlies’ glasses away from them in the bar scene when he goes to tell the bartender they want another round. he wasn’t even asked to … he’s just that helpful and polite with his friends.

5. i know this is a tumblr post that has been floating around forever but the fact steve wears converse … again: a common trait, but somehow even cuter when it comes from him.

6. his little ‘rogers’ nametag on his uniform 😭 as if people don’t know EXACTLY who wears that suit.

7. him wearing CKs with his stuffy khakis and too tight t-shirts <3.

8. the arm scar he has that the serum canonically left untouched. proof that steve rogers can indeed scar, just like bucky barnes. the serum didn’t make him imperfect or invincible after all.

9. him being the one to provide first-aid to clint on the jet in aou … using the nursing skills his mama probably taught him to take care of his teammate like the kindhearted man he is.

10. his blue waterbottle with the sippy straw he brings to meetings and carries around the compound :).

more stony :) thought that rhis was cute and funny…(should’ve put this in the movie) in my opinion ;P

Steve: ok buck i might've texted the guy

Bucky: ??!!! like fr

Steve: yea

Bucky: and?

Bucky: steve??

or: Steve places a mostly-ironic ad seeking a husband outside of America, not anticipating that one of the responses would be so intriguing.

At a Party:

Clint: Here's a drink Pete

Tony: *takes solo cup from Peter* You idiot, he's underage!

Clint: So are we dipshit

Tony: *Chugs Peter's drink*

Clint: Whatever, I'll get him a lemonade

Tony: *Chugs his own drink*

Natasha: Steve I saw Tony heading for the janitor's closet

Steve: Okay?

Natasha: With Clint

Steve, sprinting down the hall: NOT THE TOILET PAPER BARTON

—

Bucky: Would you like to go out sometime?

Natasha: No

Bucky: I respect that. *Turns to Sam* would you like to go out sometime

Sam: Wait—but you just. What the hell man

Bucky: I'll take that as a no. *Turns to Clint* would you like to—

Clint: Fuck yeah

Tony: Did you hear about the fire in the chem lab?

Steve: Tony, what did you do

Tony: It wasn't me this time!

Steve: Oh. That's new

Tony: I mean I did text Bruce the calculations, it's not my fault he didn't see the decimal

Steve: Tony!

—

Natasha: And that's why I transferred in the middle of last year

Sam: Isn't that like...a crime

Natasha: Nobody will believe you.

Sam: What? What do you mean by that

Natasha, disappearing into the crowd:

Sam: What do you mean by that?!

—

Peter: Hi Captain!

Steve: You know only the football team calls me that Peter. I'm not your Captain

Peter: Yes sir

Steve: I'm only 2 years older than you, you don't need to call me sir either

Peter: Okay Captain!

Steve: No just...whatever

—

Tony: Hey Bruce whatcha reading

Bruce: AH! Oh hey dude

Tony: Wow you're jumpy. You need to relax

Bruce: I don't think I've relaxed once since I met you but thanks for the advice

—

Clint: Do you think Thor was held back?

Sam: Naw man, he's pretty smart

Clint: But he looks like he has a 401k and a mortgage

Bucky: Talks like it too

Sam: Maybe it's a Europe thing, school is different there

Clint: Maybe. Hey Thor! What's up buddy, how's the wife and kids?

Thor: Ay? Um...well? And yours my friend?

Clint: Fantastic! Well it was good seeing you

Thor: Alright then, farewell

Sam: What an odd guy

Bucky: Nice though

Clint: Real nice dude

—

Pepper: Tony, stop flirting with me to make Steve jealous

Tony: Whaaaaat, I would never

Pepper: You very loudly told your table, which is right next to mine, "I'm going to go flirt with Pepper to make Steve jealous"

Tony: Well do you think it's working?

Steve, at Tony's table: No

—

Peter: The decathlon supervisor is already one of my references, and I tutor for Mrs. Warren's freshman class a lot so I have her too. I also volunteered at a special needs camp over the summer, plus I applied for this competitive course where you write a research paper under a university professor for junior year, and if I get it that will look really good on my MIT application. I just hope it doesn't interfere with my internship at Oscorp. What about you, what are you doing to prepare for graduation? Aren't college apps due, like, next month for you?

Bucky: Well my boss at Dunkin Donuts said he'd give me a reference. Chicks in the drive through always tip me well

—

Sam: Why'd you punch Rumlow!

Steve: Cause he was saying creepy stuff about Natasha!

Bucky: You shouldn't have done that man

Steve: What do you mean, he was being a total asshole, I don't care if I get detention

Sam: It's not him you should be worried about

Natasha: Rogers, that was MY punch to throw

Steve: Oh no

Natasha: You think I'm some damsel in distress? Come here and I'll show you a damsel in distress

Steve: I, uh, gotta go *runs out the door*

Natasha: Which way did he go.

Sam: I didn't see nothin'

Bucky: Out those doors and to the left

Sam: Bruh

Bucky: A true friend understands when the consequences are necessary *kicks Rumlow who's still lying on the ground as he walks away*

—

Bruce: What did the racing hot dog say when he passed the finish line?

Tony: What

Bruce: I'm a wiener!

Everyone:

Bruce: Get it? Like winner?

Tony: It's okay man, just stick to academics

Thor: I have one! A priest, a pastor, and a rabbi walk into a bar

Everyone:

Thor: HAHAHA, what a coincidence for them all to arrive in the establishment simultaneously!

*Everyone bursts out laughing*

Bruce: Oh come on, that wasn't even a joke!

Tony: See he has charisma. It's all about the delivery Brucie Bear

—

Sam: Wait, you're saying that the elephant toothpaste all over the second floor right before midterms was you?

Rhodey: Hell yeah it was

Sam: But everyone blamed Tony. Even Tony's parents and the principal. The only reason he wasn't suspended was because the cameras were wiped of evidence, which was also blamed on Tony

Rhodey: Yeah you'd be surprised about how much stuff I do that Tony gets blamed for. Public image does wonders to create bias

Sam: What the hell? I thought you were the responsible one and Tony was your monkey on a leash. Why does he let you blame him?

Rhodey: Cuz he's a good bro. He gets to piss his parents off, I don't get kicked out of ROTC, and then we laugh about it afterwards

Sam: You evil geniuses...

—

Wanda: I want to get married

Natasha: Are you pregnant?

Wanda: What? No

Natasha: Oh thank goodness. Wait, then why do you want to get married

Wanda: Because it's romantic!

Natasha: And the tax benefits?

Wanda: No! Well, yes that would be nice, but no! I want to be a stay at home mom and have a nice family

Natasha: Girl you failed home economics and your type is men who think calling you their "situationship" is making it official, why don't we focus on finding the vertex for now

If u like this vibe I have a domestic Avengers "in a timeline where Civil War didn't end in divorce" series as well:

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 :P

so when tony got kidnapped in im1 ppl thought he was dead right??? but surprise he's not dead guys!!

and in im3 he went missing again and people thought he was dead AGAIN but nope its tony stark he's obvi not dead

and idk if him dying n coming back to life during avengers was public knowledge but if it was well then.

and then in avengers iw people mustve thought he was dead. since he was um idk incapacitated in space (according to google for 22 days)

so do u guys think when he died in avengers endgame people thought "oh no way guys hes gonna come back eventually he always does this" and he just. didnt

That's okay.... I thought I might not cry today but nevermind 😭😭😭

“Steve Rogers spotted at a Midtown jeweler. Is Captain America finally ready to pop the question? We say it’s about time!”

or: Tony is sick and panicking because Steve’s about to propose — or is he?
