So @kingloptr put the idea of Thunderfrostiron in my head and I started writing a thing, but then THIS little ditty popped into my mind and I couldn’t not.

“Goddamnit!”
Bruce glanced over, mild and placid as ever in the face of such dramatics. “Tony, what’s eatin’ you?”
“I’ll tell you what’s eatin’ me. Jarvis discovered that Tall, Dark and Stormy have been playing hide the hammer in my goddamn suite!” Tony whirled to face him, letting the tablet clatter to the worktable in disgust. “Yeah. Just let that sink in. What the hell am I supposed to do about this? Call Fury? Tell their mom? Film it and put it on the Internet?”
“Huh.” Bruce looked perturbed, but not for any of the right reasons. “Is that really what you’re calling them? I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s funny…”
Tony leveled him with a glare. “Do you have any better ideas?”
Bruce considered this question with the gravity it deserved, before hesitantly offering, “ThoLo?”
Tony sighed, scrubbing his hand over his face. “Thou only livest once?” He snorted, then added, “And when thou livest upwards of several millennia, thou might as well schtup thy psychotic little brother? Right.”
Bruce grimaced. “Maybe it’s not that weird for aliens? I mean, we don’t really know anything about the Asgardians, when it comes down to it. Who knows what else they get up to.” He didn’t sound terribly convinced of his own words.
Tony gave a disbelieving huff, spinning petulantly in his chair. “They’d just better not break the bed. I didn’t exactly reinforce that room with magnitude 8.5 earthquakes in mind.” He paused, realizing that wasn’t entirely true. “At least, none with the epicenter on the goddamn mattress.”
Bruce’s eyes widened, as if the mechanics of the situation had just finally sunk in. “I can’t talk about this anymore.”
Tony’s lips pressed tight together as he picked up his tablet, resigned to stewing about the problem alone. Bruce turned back to his papers. A few minutes slipped by in silence.
“What about ‘Thorlok?’ Cuz one of them’s a wizard.”
since it’s been 10 years it’s easy to forget just how fucking baller the “i am iron man” line was (and still is). like, up until that moment, every piece of superhero media we had had their hero making every effort possible to conceal their identity. we were used to it. and then tony stark comes along and says “nah, fuck that, I AM IRON MAN” and like. if you saw the movie in theaters in 2008 you’ll remember the audience just either gasping, hollering, or just murmuring “holy shit” because up until that point NO one just exposed their superhero alter ego like that. like, iron man was a tipping point for the superhero genre as we know it today and i just fucking love it
but I am now going to RAVE about one of my most favourite scenes in marvel cinematic universe and yeah that’s right
its the destruction of tony’s Malibu house scene.
Lets start off with the fact that i am an architect with a degree, and I find Tony’s house completely DELIGHTFUL.
I love it. Both interior and exterior of it are lovely. I absolutely adore open and spacious living room, home-ness of tony’s lab&garage, and gorgeous open view bedroom. Delightful.
Also give me a second to SCREAM about that lovely detail – Christmas stockings.
I can’t grab a single shot where you can see all of them clearly, but there’s actually 5 stockings. Two big red ones – Tony and Pepper – big green one – Jarvis – and two smaller ones, one of which got ‘U’ on it, so I am assuming the other one must be Dum-E and I HONESTLY CAN NOT HOLD THE FEELS. I saw people mentioning Jarvis stocking because you can clearly see it but BABY BOTS GOT THEM TOO, HOW BEYOND PRECIOUS IS THAT. I am crying over here, i’m not okay.
Now, the scene of this beautiful house going down must be heartbreaking and not fun, but all that content honestly:
