one of my favorite (if niche) irondad headcanons is that Peter loves soft acoustic indie music, and as Morgan gets older, she listens exclusively to radio pop, which means that AC/DC #1 stan Tony Stark ends up getting dragged to a standing-room-only concert in a vintage theater one weekend and then finds himself stuck in a football stadium with 70,000 screaming teenagers the next all while wondering how he, a man who spent his youth at Black Sabbath concerts, ended up here

gerald the alpaca is a vital part of the ironfam and is just as much tony’s kid as peter and morgan this is the hill i die on 😤🥰

A selection of Gerald the Alpaca headcanons:

When Tony first tells Peter that he’s got an alpaca, the kid laughs so hard that he actually cries.

Gerald has free rein of the entire property, and anybody who questions it is promptly silenced.

Tony has a running joke with Peter that if he upsets Gerald, he has 0 qualms about selling him on the black market for a single corn chip.

Gerald hums when he’s happy, and Morgan’s picked up the habit, too. They’ll hum back and forth for minutes at a time and Tony thinks it’s the most precious thing in the world.

Peter does not understand Gerald, and Gerald does not understand him. They frequently stare at each other, both trying to reason out why Tony likes the other one so much. They’ve yet to figure it out.

Gerald likes to stick his head through the kitchen window. The first time Peter sees this, he startles so violently that he’s 80% sure he got mild whiplash.

Tony thought that the whiplash event was incredibly amusing, and had F.R.I.D.A.Y. save the footage.

Whenever Gerald does something he shouldn’t and Tony sends Peter to clean up the mess, he’ll shout “WHY COULDN’T YOU JUST GET A NORMAL PET?!” and Tony always responds with “WELL YOU’RE NOT A NORMAL KID BUT WE KEEP YOU ARE DON’T WE??”

Tony threatens Peter with ‘Gerald Duty’ when he’s being snarky. Peter doesn’t know what that actually means but he’s terrified of it anyway.

Do you like vintage scientific illustrations?

Do you like not spending huge amounts of money on them?

This website has a huge collection of high quality vintage illustrations that you can download FOR FREE

They got pretty much everything!! Vintage maps, mushrooms, flowers, trees, bugs, birds, corals, fish, palm trees, feathers, tropical fruits, you name it!!

They even got some works of my dude Ernst Haeckel on there!!!!

I could go on and on but I suggest you check it out yourself. Personally, I will be covering my entire apartment with these once copyshops are open again. But even if you don’t want to do that, just browsing all these beautiful illustrations is a great way to spend your time. 

Have fun and stay save!

Two identical infants lay in the cradle. “One you bore, the other is a Changeling. Choose wisely,” the Fae’s voice echoed from the shadows. “I’m taking both my children,” the mother said defiantly.

my favourite type of fan fictions are like. Slightly canon divergent. Like everything is the same but we fix this one annoying detail you can’t stand and let it butterfly effect the whole story.

i think one of the reasons glass onion is so fun is that it just... loves the audience back.

so many popular movies and shows these days thrive on a sort of bitter engagement with their fans - where the fans are dismissed as being stupid, annoying, and needlessly angry. we are constantly positioned as being less intelligent as the writers.

so much of "spoiler-free" movie-making relies on writers getting away with one twist in their work, regardless of if that twist was earned. the work doesn't actually have any rewatch value or interesting writing - because they think "good writing" is about "pulling one over" on the audience. they don't focus on making interesting characters or storylines or good endings - they focus on fooling you. glass onion, meanwhile, has faith that the audience has figured the ending out, and that we'll watch anyway, because we love the characters.

so many adaptions of older works... kind of seem to hate the original work. they're done without passion. they're done almost as if checking off a box. so many of them openly mock the audience for enjoying the original, almost directly telling us that we are fools for ever having loved something.

but glass onion. loves the audience. it knows that many of the people watching are mystery-lovers. it is an homage that feels love towards the original works it references. it knows we also love those works; and instead of trying to disparage those works, it allows us to celebrate them.

one of my favorite things about it - and maybe why i found it so satisfying - is that this movie isn't trying to tell you it's the smartest, bestest, most-clever detective story. instead, it asks itself what is satisfying and exciting for the audience? and actually gives us that payoff. it's bright, colorful, and fucking fun.

just... more of this please. i'm very bored of nihilism and grittiness and "shock value" writing. put the love back in. let us love unironically. have your work say i love you too. thank you for sharing this story.
