a dimension i particularly love about the thing elsie and rajan have going on is the one in which rajan is The Hottest Man You've Ever Seen and elsie is this mousy little librarian of a woman and he is just way more into her than she is into him. she is fucking. immune. to his cha 20 bullshit. and yet it doesn't read as that like tropey "wants the one girl who's not drooling over him" situation; it is just a thing that is happening

Bubbles looked so worried when they would switch back to him and the other officers back on base. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to not know if your best friend and all your other buddies are okay 🥺

[Hidden Identity]
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Things aren't always what they seem to be.
While Iron Man is a wonderful hero beloved by the public, Tony Stark has a notorious reputation as the playboy billionaire. Unapproved by Fury, deemed unfit to be an Avenger, Tony tells the press that the man inside the Iron Man armor (clouded in secrecy) is in fact his "bodyguard". Just like in the old comics, Tony worries that if his identity as the hero would be revealed, he'd lose everything; His team (no doubt angry at him for having lied to them all this time), that no one would accept him as a hero, his company Stark International would go under or be overtaken, losing his chance to make a change globally, as well as any chance to do good as a hero, in his armor.
Then we have Steve, buying the playboy facade and public image at face value, thereby not having much of a favorable opinion of Stark. On the other hand, he is head over heels for his witty, brave and selfless partner, Iron Man. (This only adding to Tony's fears and anxieties of his identity being revealed, surely he would be hated, by Steve.. and lose his partner).🥺
(However his actions speaking louder than words, his bonds with the team, and with Steve, may be stronger and count for much more than he thinks..)
アイアンマンは素敵なヒーローだが、トニーは悪名高い評判ので、トニーはマスコミに 「アイアンマンのスーツを着ているのは (スタークではなく) スタークの謎のボディーガードだ 」 と嘘をついて、フューリーもトニーを認めていなかったので、"きっと僕みたいなのはチームから外されるし、嘘がバレたら怒られるし、もうヒーローとして人を助けることはできない.. アベンジャーズには秘密にしておこう......。"ってこういう「秘密の正体」的な設定やAUは大好きです🤗
もちろん、スティーブがプレイボーイの面影を額面通りに判断し、スタークを特に好きではなく、一方で機知に富み、勇敢で無私のパートナーであるアイアンマンには頭が上がらない(これは、トニーが自分の正体がばれたら嫌われるのではないかという恐怖を助長する)のはいい話と思いもす。スティーブは、比喩的にも文字通りの意味でも、マスクの裏側の男を本当に見ることになるのです🥺

Any pearl thoughts? 👀 (Hunger au is my new hyperfixation, but any aus work lol)
-🍂
I think Pearl in hunger au is in the very unique position of being caught between the general understanding she has for Grian's actions (she gets it-- maybe not as clearly and intimately as Scar, but she's known him since Evo so his behavior is less of a surprise to her), her anger (at him, at the situation, at everything), and her fear of losing Grian a third, permanent time. She's got a lot on her mental plate right now, and i think she copes with that by distancing herself from Grian while he's in the early stages of recovery, and her own conflicted emotions. She's not a caretaker. There are other people more suited for that, so she tries to help in different, practical ways. Farming, animal handling, resource gathering, construction. That sort of thing. Those are things she can see and hear and touch, and have the progress bloom right in front of her-- Grian's situation, by contrast, is far more fragile and inconclusive, so she isn't as present for it.
Of course, that's gonna send a message, intentional or not. The whole thing really is just one big mess, with a lot of pain and tangled emotions on all sides.

it's amazing how quickly i went from "alphinaud, if you don't shut up–" to "if someone so much as breathes in my little brother's direction wrong, i will break all of their bones"
