#ONE DAY i will write that meta about how captain america who had the desire but not the ability was given the ability #and iron man who had the ability but not the desire was given the desire #they are perfect inverse mirrors #tony loves steve because he sees in him the innate goodness he has to literally put on #and steve loves tony because he sees the expression of heroism he had to be endowed with
#also there’s the fact that they’re both physical failures #tony with his heart condition and steve with his puniness #but while tony creates something external that powers and shields him #(creates) #steve volunteers to be made into something more powerful from the inside out #(embodies) #technological and physical #outer and inner #active and passive #frankenstein and the creature #(to a degree; tony can also be said to be the creature as can many superheroes)
#tony who feeds and thrives on attention and steve—just a kid from brooklyn— who only seeks to harness it #one who shapes and one who reflects #the engineer and the artist #left brain and right
Uh. So this is…Steve’s side of Ready, Fire, Aim? Because I have a sickness, and because esteefee is amazing, not necessarily in that order.
right, so, a bunch of people asked me about jaime’s first date and somehow, in a horrible turn of events, this has prompted me to actually produce that bedtime story that leupagus told me i had to call “How Trish Kemblowski Got Captain America and Iron Man to Finally Do It In A Chapel” if i ever told it?
GOD, GOD WHAT IS MY LIFE
