Doing it the way I want to. |
Me. Now 21 years young and nowhere near grown up. I love tv, movies and books. Shows I watch: Bones, NCIS, NCIS LA, Criminal Minds, Glee, Castle, Merlin and Supernatural. Shows I still adore: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Charmed, Dukes of Hazzard and The A-Team. Favorite books: the Harry Potter series. And my favorite movie depends on my mood. I like taking photos (though I'm not that great at it). I'm quiet and kind of shy, so I might not say that much. But if there's anything you'd like to know feel free to ask. Oh, and I kind of suck at tagging (forgive me). Also: None of the Gif's, Manips, photosets, etc. are mine unless otherwise stated. |

Ok, so this might be an unpopular opinion, it might not, but I’m just going to have a little bit of a moan about it anyway.
Earlier today, the lovely Tom Hiddleston tweeted about something or other, and then I saw someone tweet him saying “Please tweet me back, I’ve been your biggest fan since before the Avengers when all the annoying fan girls were around”. I then clicked on her Twitter (as you do) and saw her tweeting others saying, “He should tweet me back - I’ve been a fan for a long time, not since the Avengers.”
It really wound me up. Not because she was being grossly opinionated (which maybe I am in this post, but just saying how I feel), but because I’ve noticed a lot people from any fandoms; Buffy, Sherlock, Avengers, Doctor Who, seem to think that anyone who has not been a fan as long as they have, are stupid and don’t deserve to be treated the same.
I’ve been a fan of Buffy since I was 7 years old, but I do not go around saying, “Oh, you’re a rubbish fan, I’m much better than you because I’ve been a fan for 13 years, you only started watching it three years ago, therefore I’m better than you.” Or, I watched Sherlock when it first aired on BBC1 in 2010, but I would never go around saying “Oh, you only started watching it last week, therefore I am a better and bigger fan than you.” I welcome people who have only just started watching Sherlock, or watching Buffy, or hell, I don’t know, playing Fruit Ninja.
I just don’t get it. Fair enough, I only heard of Tom Hiddleston when he was in Thor, but does that make me any less of a fan? Does that give anybody a right to tell me that I’m less of a fan because I only heard of him last year? I should certainly hope not.
/rantover. Sorry for the long post, here’s a gif to explain how I feel:

god, tony stark and his COMPLICATED BEHAVIORAL REWARDS SYSTEM, OH MAN
okay, i promise that one day i will learn to control the tony feelings, but the thing is, i have been trying to put my finger on this one for such a looooong time. because, see, tony stark is weird about stuff, isn’t he? and i don’t mean like, the existential version of stuff, i don’t mean “stuff” in the most general sense (although, let’s be honest, TONY STARK: WEIRD ABOUT STUFF is true in pretty much every context)—i am talking PHYSICAL stuff, INANIMATE stuff, i am talking stuff that a person can possess. i am talking things. i am talking tony in IM springing a lavish personal plane party on rhodey, clearly both because he felt like it and to prove that he could; i am talking tony in IM2 giving pepper the company out of the blue, clearly both because he knew she was the best choice for CEO (UGH PEPPER I LOVE YOU) and because he genuinely wanted her to have it. i am talking tony at the middle of the avengers offering to fly coulson to portland, i am talking tony at the end of the avengers with plans pulled up to build everyone on the team their own FLOOR—you see what i am saying here. tony stark expresses a considerable amount of emotion through gestures like this, and that in and of itself shouldn’t be enough to give me pause. i mean, canonically extraordinarily wealthy emotionally repressed genius expresses affection with cash? it’s not a stretch. fine. done.
ONLY THE THING IS, it’s…really so much more complicated than that, because there is also the shit in the above gifs, and there’s the thing he has about being handed things (seen in IM2 and in the avengers), and it really came together for me during that scene with bruce and the blueberries. because the thing is that quirks, no matter how random they are, COME from somewhere—even if you don’t remember the impetus of an unusual behavior, you did, at some point, learn to do it/find comfort in it/become dependent on it/get so used to it that you hardly notice it. that’s just how quirks work. and if you’re tony stark, and you put a valuation on everything because that’s been literally your entire life experience, there’s a certain amount of implied cost/benefit analysis that has to go into the way you look at emotional interactions, right?
so look at what this shit says about the way tony looks at himself. people who tony doesn’t completely, 100% trust emotionally (this is why pepper is the exception) can’t even hand him things, because on some level tony associates the exchange of physical goods with the exchange of emotional response, and he won’t be capable of giving it; people who have showed tony affection or friendship deserve these lavish, over-the-top gifts, because putting up with tony is such a struggle. and tony himself? well, for surviving a kidnapping and the insertion of car battery, and then an arc reactor, in his chest, he has earned an american cheeseburger. for fighting off an invading army and making the sacrifice move neither he nor steve believed he would, he has earned himself some shawarma. because that is totally what he’s doing, when you really think about it—tony stark doles out physical rewards for behavior, without even noticing it, and the best he ever honestly thinks he deserves is something delicious when the carnage is over.
and this is what makes that blueberry scene with bruce (shut up i know calling it the blueberry scene is ridiculous, I KNOW IT IS IN FACT A SCENE ABOUT THE AVENGERS NOT TRUSTING NICK FURY, i can’t help that i look at the world through stark-tinted glasses) so interesting, in that it’s that behavior-reward system on a much smaller scale. first bruce is offered the blueberries, clearly as a reward for making a point that supported tony’s argument; then steve, clearly as a TEST, is offered those same blueberries along with tony’s admitting to hacking the SHIELD system. and it’s when steve doesn’t even acknowledge the offer that tony goes from “hey look I’m trying to explain this to you and get you onboard” to “who’s in a spangly outfit and not of use?” because he’s got all these emotional cues tangled up with all these physical ones and always has, and because on some level this is just how he does relating to human beings, because stuff is so much easier and everything always has a price and just, augh, tony.
Thisssss.
Also, notice that every time we see Tony with food in the MCU there is some emotional tie to it. He rewards himself with food (cheeseburger, donuts, shawarma) after traumatic experiences; he brings Pepper strawberries when he attempts to confess his feelings; he offers Bruce and Steve blueberries when courting their allegiance/friendship. Also I think it’s HUGELY telling that he invites all the Avengers along for shawarma instead of wandering off to get it alone. Tony’s big on the grand gestures, sure, but when he’s trying to make a big emotional play? he does it with food.
Hmm. Does alcohol count as food, then? This makes his offering Loki a drink much more interesting, instead of just amusing.

does anybody else just say “no” out loud in a deadpan voice as they exit out of bad fic or is that just me

So haters, anything to add ?
Honestly, I never understood why people post poems on FF.net.

Why is it when everyone goes to bed and you’re the last one up everything you do sounds so loud? Even flushing the toilet sounded like the Earth...
