No matter who you ship Tony we can all agree that he is a bisexual disaster and that he is always going to be the shorter person in the relationship

The incomparable Nia made this amazing fanart for my fic The Watcher in the Stone. Gaze upon it and marvel and how absolutely perfect it is! The lighting! Thor's elegant braids and Tony's playboy hair! The casual intimacy and the subtle romance of it all! It's like someone looked into my head and spun out a moment from the fic and it is gorgeous ❣️❣️🤩🤩😍😍

Tony/Thor or Tony/Loki
Scary movies?
Threw a curve-ball at me immediately out the gate lmao. Turns out I cannot make everything sexy but I tried. 😔
--
Tony, as it turned out, was not a fan of scary movies as a whole. Never had been, if Jim's stories were to be believed, although Thor had trouble believing that Tony had scaled his dorm up to a third floor window when someone revved a chainsaw after a scary movie night as a prank. Not for lack of physical prowess, of course--Thor had seen pictures--but he doubted that Tony would just leave his friends behind to save himself.
He had less trouble believing it now, with Tony on his lap, burrowed under the blankets covering them, empty popcorn bowl over his head like a helmet.
"We don't have to watch this," Thor offered. "I can see this with someone else on the team."
"The Evil Dead is a classic and it's important that you see it," Tony said, as if Thor had not just offered to watch it, just later and with someone else.
Thor carefully lifted the bowl off of Tony's head, because he knew Tony would eventually realize he was getting melted butter on his hair. "It's difficult to concentrate when you're shaking in terror on my lap."
Tony froze, then scoffed, finally deigning to lift his face from Thor's chest to leer at him. "How do you know I'm not trying to seduce you by grinding against you?"
There were some incredibly loud, gory sounds from the screen and some inhuman screaming. Tony's face twitched, but he kept his eyes on Thor's.
"You're right," Thor said flatly. "I should have known that's what you were trying to do."
"Well I was gonna crawl under these blankets and suck you off to take my mind off the movie but now I'm not gonna," Tony grumbled, scowling.
Thor glanced over at the cup Tony had chucked across the room in reaction to a jump scare on a movie called The Conjuring. On one hand, he doubted that Tony would be affected by the movie if he was wholly focused on his dick, hidden under the blankets. On the other hand, did he want to take the chance with such a delicate part of his anatomy in Tony's mouth?
"I'll watch these later," Thor finally decided, waving at JARVIS to turn the movie off.
Tony looked simultaneously disappointed and relieved as the sound cut on a particularly wet noise. "I'm sorry."
"Someone else will watch them with me," Thor reasoned. He tilted his head, considering, then continued, "Clint, probably."
"That's probably for the best," Tony admitted. "I guess I'm just your action guy."
"Well, you were suggesting giving me some action," Thor replied, hoping for a laugh after how anxious Tony had been.
Instead, Tony just smiled at him, wide and bright, and disappeared under the blankets.
"Tony what the fuck--" Thor choked out in response, hands flailing at the blankets uselessly, then had to let out a laugh himself.

Marvel Prompt🤍🩷🩵🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜
(Tony has been injured, taking a bullet for Clint. It thankfully didn't hit any dangerous areas, but it did come close to the Arc Reactor- startling his team badly. Clint can't help but puppy guard him for a while, unable to stop seeing tony falling to the floor bleeding. Steve can't help but follow Tony around as much as possible- to afraid of losing him, especially before confessing his feelings for the genius.)
Tony: *On the couch, irritated* Do I have to lay here?
Clint: *Sitting on the floor in front of Tony* Yep, you just stay there and let Steve cuddle you! Please, for us? *Gives the puppy eyes look, the one people feel to guilty to say no to*
Tony: ...Fine.
Steve: *embarrassed and flustered* I'm sorry Tony, I just... j-just...
(Steve struggles to find the words he needs. In the end he can only bury his face back into Tony hair, nuzzling his entire form even closer to Tony's body somehow.)
Steve: I can't say it right now Tony, but believe me when I say I can't stand to see you hurt again like that. I hate when you're hurt at all.
Tony: *Confused, oblivious, and concerned* Alright Cap, you can hold me as long as you want. Take your time on whatever you have to say too, I can wait. *Glances at Clint* you can stay too, you know? As long as you desire, Birdbrain... Want to hold my hand?
(Tony offers Clint his hand, which he happily takes. Steve is happy too, grateful that Tony was understanding. Then the other Avengers decided to join them, setting themselves around Tony.)
Tony: *Sighs* Well it's now a party in here, can I at least have a drink?
Natasha: *Hands over a glass of chocolate milk*
Tony: *Deadpan stare* ...Thanks. Also, why?
Hulk: No bad drink today, only safe ones. *Gently pats Tony's head*
Steve: Hulk is right, you shouldn't drink right now Tony. You're one some strong medicine and being drunk isn't going to help you heal anyway.
(Tony pouts, but settles as he drinks the chocolate. Thor comes over with snacks for Tony, things that won't be too hard on his stomach. The medication is making him feel great, but he doesn't feel hungry much.)
Thor: Eat SHIELD brother! You need your strength to recover your wounds! Steve would be saddened if you had to stay down much longer.
(Tony's attention was caught on what Thor said.)
Tony: Why would- Steve, why would you be sad if I'm benched for awhile anyway, besides me being an important part of the team?
Steve: *Blushing, he mumbles his words.*
Tony: Could you say that again? I didn't hear you, and I don't have super hearing like you do.
Steve: *Blushing red now, blurts out his answer.* I-I love you!
(Five whole, silent, seconds pass by.)
Tony: *Blushes* I like you too, Steve.
Steve: *Bolts up, staring at Tony's face* Really!?
Tony: *Hiding his face in his hands* Yeah...
Clint: Do you love me, Tony? *Teasing*
Tony: *Blushing harder* Y-Yeah.
(Clint froze, staring at Tony with disbelief. A blush slowly making way on his face.)
Hulk: Little Tony like all of us?
Tony: *Gives a small squeak* Y-Yes, okay! I like all of you, each of you having traits that make you wonderful! *So red at this point*
Avengers: ...
( They bring Tony down off the couch, rearranging themselves so they could cuddle their precious genius.)
Avengers: *internally* No one shall take Tony from us. No one.
If anyone wants to write this as a fanfic you have complete permission, I only ask you link me the story so I can read it!

Writing Christmas romance/porn with a Thor-sized character as one half of the pairing always makes me question my Santa-Kink Status.
Like do I actually 👀👀 Old Saint Nick or am I 👀👀 for beefy characters wearing Santa pants and offering to let someone sit on their lap??
ALSO unrelated but sort of related DID YALL SEE DAVID HARBOUR IN VIOLENT NIGHT because I’m pretty sure it answers my question

My Lord, My King by iam93percentstardust
Five years after conquering the northern half of the continent, Thor is given a pretty, young omega from the Iron Lands. Anthony is a welcome remnant of his distant past, a reminder of what his life had been like before his parents' deaths and his brother's murder, but Anthony is also terrified, an unwilling sacrifice to appease the warlord. The most Thor can offer him is safety and a promise that, maybe, life in Asgard won't be as bad as it was in the Iron Lands.
Written for StarkExpo for @marveltrumpshate 2021! Took me a while but I got to it!

Juulna’s 2021 Multi-Fandom Fanfiction Rec List - Part Two
(Yes, I realize this is a year late, but this year's been a bit nuts. I still hope you enjoy these fics anyway!)
Based only on what I’ve read with my own eyes this year!
Follow me on my journey into what, at times, was…
Tumblr media
…actually rather calming! Perhaps you can find some comfort and entertainment, fluff and angst and romance and friendship, smut and a distinct lack of it, space adventures and fantasy and modern adventures, serial killers and good guys, redemption and reconciliation and learning to become someone completely different — there is so much here I read that stuck with me over the past year, and the 2021 Fanfic Reading Challenge ( @fanfic-reading-challenge ) allowed me a new way to keep track of all of my favourites. So props to that event! Definitely participating again (considering I run the event, yeah, that's probably a given lol, but full disclosure).
Without further ado, here were my 2021 fic favourites!
Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | Part Five | Part Six
Tumblr media
Fandom: Marvel (Comics & MCU)
Stony, Polyvengers:
you great unfinished symphony (you sent for me) by @ketchupcrisp
The last thing Steve Rogers ever expected to see on a Wednesday afternoon was his (their) dead submissive tumbling out of a portal and practically into Phil’s lap, very much alive and frantic about Soul Stones and timelines and some other version of the team.
Avengers Family:
Of Spectrums and Spoons by @calloftherunningtide
Natasha had been taught to pretend – to act and respond just like she was supposed to act and respond - from an early age.
Things You Learn In the Kitchen at Night by @buzzcat
When Darcy went into the kitchen that night, she didn't expect to meet her platonic soul mate or Tony Stark, let alone have them be one and the same person.
Iron Family (typically very Civil War Team Iron Man):
Second Chances by @izazov
Tony Stark is in love with Steve Rogers. Also, he is dying. There is no direct correlation between those two facts. But there is also the matter of Steve Rogers having no idea about Tony’s feelings.
And all that's best of dark and bright by @kaaterinapetrova
When Steve Rogers leaves her to die in Siberia, Toni Stark hacks her soulmark apart, tears the flesh and veins until she is blinded with pain, and waits to die. Up above, somewhere in the universe, something fractures.
Trigger warning for cutting, suicidal thoughts, breakdown.
Siren by @tsuki-chibi
When the exvengers were granted pardons, they return to the Compound. Steve was prepared to fight an uphill battle, but not for the biggest change of all:a clone of Peggy Carter, who is already at the Compound and acting as the newest Avenger. Determined to see everything go back to the way it was, Steve, Wanda and Clint become obsessed with figuring out a way to upstage the New Avengers and prove that the Accords are unnecessary.
Spoiler: their plan doesn't work.
Basic Rules by @striving-artist
It said something about Toni’s life that she had an established system in case of kidnapping and torture, and while there had been tweaks, it was still basically the same as from when she was a kid.
1. Let them underestimate you. 2. Don’t fight back until you have an exit. 3. Lie from the start. 4. Protect what matters. 5. Assume no one is coming to help.
you want a war? (you don't know what you're asking for) by @dyke-yoonji
“And now? Now you’ve all betrayed,”  Steve flinched at the choice of words, “Stark, and Potts and Rhodes are not going to sit and take it.”
Natasha frowned at the phone. “What does this mean for us?”
Fury laughed - an ugly laugh with no myrth in it. “It means that Potts or Rhodes are the ones who sent me this phone because they wanted me to contact you. They wanted me - and you - to know that they are with Stark, that they are the line of defence between him and us.”   “It means that they just declared war. God have mercy on your souls.”
Tony Stark is Not a Supervillain (But his Poker Group All Are) by DaughteroftheSilverMoon
A superhero walks into a room full of villains- and they play poker and give him a drink. After all, it's the polite thing to do. Only then they get to liking him, and all of a sudden they're slaying dragons for the good guys. It's very disconcerting, but kind of nice.
The Worst Job by @thealextheshipper
Jessica is assigned as the Rogue Avengers Accords delegate upon their return to the US, on the plus side she befriends Tony Stark, on the down side she has to deal with PR nightmare Steve Rogers, and his best friend PR nightmare Clint Barton.
DomesticIronHawk: (Laura/Clint/Tony)
Set On Fire by @allthemarvelousrage
She's not sure if she forgot to take her suppressants, or if something Wanda did screwed with her meds, but her world is on fire for the first time in years, and there's no one to help her through it... until there is.
IronMarvel:
Keep Me in Your Orbit by @moonlitmidnight-1
A post Civil War AU in which Toni knew Carol during the events of Captain Marvel, and was the person she gave the pager to.
IronStrange:
ARC I: An Infinity In The Wings by @bad-days-and-beautiful-nights
Stephen and Toni met just before she's kidnapped. They spent the night together and when she returns, they strike up an easy friendship. Soon enough, Stephen falls in love with her, but by the time he realizes, it's too late. Hoping she never finds out, he gracefully steps back, trusting Captain America to be the right man for his best friend. But when Steve surprises everyone and Toni ends up at death's door for the fourth time, Stephen has to re-evaluate his life's choices.
IronTaser:
Disinformed by Del_Rion
It’s time to come clean about Phil Coulson’s death. Out of all the Avengers, Tony’s reaction is the most surprising, and Phil must investigate it further.
Maria Hill/Sif:
Diplomatic Relations and Intelligence Failures by @scifigrl47
Maria Hill would like a night off, and maybe a date. She's not likely to get either one of them, so she's pretty resigned to long nights of protecting the world from behind the scenes. It's very satisfying, but not quite in the way she's hoping for.
Most people who know Maria are far too intimidated to make a pass. Luckily, the Lady Sif doesn't have that problem.
Phlint:
SHIELD Has Paperwork for Everything by @scifigrl47
Clint Barton knows where his loyalties lie, and they have more to do with his handler than his employer. Phil Coulson takes his responsibilities seriously, and a big part of his job is protecting the agent in his care from any threat to his well-being.
At this rate, neither of them is going to get a date. Natasha Romanov has other ideas, and the only side she's on is her own.
Stucky:
Reputation by @cpt-winniethepooh
Captain America is a hero to the nation, but an uncomfortable cage for Steve Rogers. He is confined by his reputation as the boring Avenger, Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes, and has long given up on hope to change his public image.
Then he meets James Barnes, the infamous assassin also known as the Winter Soldier, who recently switched sides and is now working for the US instead of Russia. Barnes is tall, dark and handsome with his man-bun and eyeliner, and everything Steve shouldn’t want but does.
But just as there is more to Steve than Cap, there is more to Barnes than the Soldier - but will they be able to see that and find happiness?
An albumfic about finding love through the noise, set to the tune and narrative of Taylor Swift’s Reputation.
Steve Rogers at 100: Celebrating Captain America on Film by @hellotailor, @alwaysalreadyangry, eleveninches, febricant, @morgan-leigh
“Heil Hydra,” the enemy agent shouts. 
“Heil this, motherfucker,” says Captain America, shooting off a rocket.
Steve and Bucky find out Hollywood has been busy since they went away. A historical survey, including but not limited to: one set of exploded genitals, a brief interlude in France, Mel Gibson and other masterworks of casting, eight Academy awards, several dinosaurs, and something Tony Stark has ominously dubbed “the masterpiece.” Art included.
Steve Rogers and the minefields of social media by @cpt-winniethepooh
Steve gets a Twitter account, then an Instagram one, then he gets Bucky back, too.
ThunderIron:
King Of Hearts, Queen Of . . . Nothing by ThatDamnKennedyKid
He was sure that she didn't remember, not with the way she had cried herself into drunken slumber in his arms. That did not mean he forgot. Not anything - not the painful slurs from her father that lingered in her mind, the barely visible scars across her arms and thighs from jumping into adulthood alone before she was no longer a child, how she had blubbered the name Yinsen over and over again like a regret.
I don't Want the World to See Me by @outercorner
Tony has a secret, one that is harder and harder to keep from observant teammates.
WinterIron:
Lines by @treesramblings
“If you want—and feel free to say no, everyone and their mothers know that I’m the queen of offering too much where I’m not wanted—but, if you want…” Toni hesitates, worrying her bottom lip between her teeth for a moment, and then continues, “well, that’s the longest period of uninterrupted sleep I’ve had since last week, which was also with you, and—twice is a coincidence, but maybe we could test to see, uh, see if it’s a pattern? Only if you want; I’m not trying to guilt you into it. In fact, forget I said anything. This is a horrible idea. I’m just going to leave—”
She’s stopped by his fingers slipping into her palm as he's suddenly standing in front of her. “Okay,” he whispers.
The tension that had built up in her body releases all at once and she looks up into his eyes, the ever present churn of emotion swirling enchantingly, tenderly.
“Okay,” she responds, and his hand glides from hers as he turns away. She aches with the missing weight.
Watercolour Scars by ThatDamnKennedy
Despite fighting against Iron Man, Bucky didn't actually know Tony. Even then, he didn't know how he was the only one starstruck. He couldn't imagine the kind of miracles she must have pulled off before for the team to not even thank her.
Our Shattered Past by Elenduen
Bucky survives the snap, survives to see two-thirds of the universe die, half turning to ash, the others killed because those others turned to ash. He follows Steve back to America and the Avengers compound struggling to try and make sense of everything that has happened. Then Tony Stark returns to earth, broken, sick, desolate. Bucky feels he owes Tony for what he did to his parents, he wants to find a way to make amends and the only way he think to do that is to act as protection for Tony while he slowly recovers from his time in space.
Tony couldn't care less what happens to him now. He failed, Peter is gone, two-thirds of the Universe is gone, why should he care if he lives or dies now? he is determined to help others while he can though and if that means Barnes is following him around then he can help too.
What neither expect is a relationship to blossom between them or the family that blooms out of the ashes of their shattered pasts.
721 Fifth Avenue by Skarla
Tony Stark is a man of many faces; stressed, a little manic, overly fond of smoothies and kinder than anyone Bucky has ever met, although he hides it well. He's not quite sure why no one else is providing the support and companionship that the man is quietly desperate for, but it's no hardship to step up to the plate. He's always had a thing for scrappy underdogs after all.
The Evidence by @striving-artist
Didn’t notice. Right. Sure. Two brilliant minds, two super spies, and a god didn’t notice when the chattiest man they knew stopped making sound. They just seemed happier than before. Brighter and more cheerful than before. They just seemed like they were more comfortable with him around when he was stone silent.
Fuck it.
He knew they noticed.
And he knew they liked him better this way.
ShieldShock:
MARRY, FUCK, KILL by @sevensneakyfoxes
"Actually, you know, I get it. Rogers would be an excellent MARRY choice. You know that he'd never leave the toilet seat up, would never drink the last of the milk, and would clean the rain gutters without prompting," Darcy says. She's never really considered Steve as anything other than Captain America who is impossibly unapproachable; weirdly enough, the things she finds intimidating about him as a person oddly work for her in a domestic setting. "Ugh, plus you just KNOW Barton would be the type of fucker that would eat the last oreo and then shove the empty box back into the cupboard."
"So what's your list then, Darcy?" Jane asks, turning back to look at the mold, which has done exactly fuck all in the last half-hour.
"Don't rush me! I need to make an informed, calculated choice."
Darcy looks down at her pad, then back up at Natasha. She purses her lips in thought. "You've fucked Barnes, right? How dexterous is that metal hand?"
--
The ladies of SHIELD play a mass game of MARRY FUCK KILL, Avengers edition.
Wherein everyone marries Steve, kills Tony, Jane betrays science and Darcy hypothetically turns Thor into a llama.
WinterShock:
Black Holes and Revelations by @amidtheflowers
The Winter Soldier doesn’t like her much. It doesn’t help when they get thrown in a black hole together.
WinterShieldShock:
Upon A Hill, Across a Blue Lake by @i-mushi
Fluffy ABO - Darcy has a few run-ins with the police and a couple Alpha Avengers show up to help. She /really/ should have specified to Jane not to send her crushes when she called for help. Steve/Darcy/Bucky Alpha!Steve, Alpha!Bucky, Omega!Darcy
WinterWidowIronShield:
my body is not their bed by @deathsweetqueen
In 1995, the Engineer and the Winter Soldier escape HYDRA and end up, bleeding, on Peggy Carter's doorstep.
This is their journey after. This is the story of their victory march.

Summary:
Post Avengers (2012)
The entire world thinks Tony Stark is a Dom.
The entire world is wrong.
****** ....Thor knew he was thoroughly intruding on Tony’s privacy by entering the penthouse suite of rooms uninvited, but the Dominant intruded anyway, slipping through the half open door and then shutting it quietly behind himself, following the trail of discarded belongings-- the tablet, Tony’s watch, his shoes, a jacket-- towards the huge ensuite bathroom and over to the giant bath tub.
“...Anthony.” All the air rushed out of Thor in a whoosh when he found Tony huddled in the far corner of the bathtub, fully dressed and hiding his face in his arms, shivering in the cool air and clutching at his own skin hard enough to leave indents and closer to his elbow, hard enough to draw blood that dripped in bright scarlet onto the cold porcelain.
Terrified. Alone. Desperately needing a guiding touch. Submissive.
...Tony was a submissive?
"My darling." the Dom whispered hoarsely, as everything 'wrong' about Tony's behavior suddenly made perfect sense. "I didn't see you before, but I see you now."
"...help me..."
I think I am stalking @not-close-to-straight AO3 page a little bit. But I also don’t think that’s bad because I then find beautiful stories like this one. 
The idea of someone taking care of me in such an intense way is rather comforting. I don’t really know how this writer does it but there is always so much EMOTION and FEELING in the stories. Tony breaking down really has me breaking down, you can just picture it in your mind how he looks, how he feels, how desperate he is. 
How she writes emotions and feelings is how I try to write them. It’s just wonderful to start a story by her because I get swept into it and am able to get lost in the world and the lives of the characters for a while. 
I also found the other story in this universe and I plan to start reading that today because my god, Steve just needs his happy ending and I need to know if he gets it!

What about "I'm sorry about waking you. You looked like you were having a nightmare." with Tony/Thor?
I always have Thor being the soft one 🤔 Maybe it's Tony's turn.
Just kidding even when I try to make Tony the softie it still somehow turns into Thor comforting him. In my defense, Thor's hundreds of years old and has had time to learn patience.
--
Thor was twitching.
Tony sat up a little, frowning, as he watched Thor's mouth twist into a grimace, his brows furrowing, muscles spasming in whatever dream he was having. He lifted a hand, reaching out toward him, then pulled it back to his chest nervously. Should he wake him up?
Thor had never had a problem waking him up from a nightmare, even if JARVIS found it an ill-advised decision. But then again, Thor was also physically on par with the Norse God most people thought he was. He could handle Tony's punches and scratches and screams of terror until he figured out when where he was, at least physically. Tony couldn't say the same. Thor might actually really hurt him if he woke up abruptly, groggy and in the residual throes of his dream.
He looked like he was in pain.
Tony swallowed thickly, hand hovering out again. Thor let out a grunt, which made him pull his hand back again. He hovered, feeling useless. This was why he hated being the squishiest member of the team; Steve and Bruce would have brushed off a hit, and Natasha and Clint would have simply avoided it. Tony was slow, at least compared to everyone else. He might not be able to get out of Thor's attack radius if he woke up aggressive.
Then Thor made a sound, soft, agonized. Broken.
Tony grabbed his pillow and crawled off the bed, then took a few steps just for good measure. Turned. Took aim.
Threw his pillow as hard as he could. It hit Thor smack in the face.
Thor jerked upright so abruptly that Tony skittered back a few more steps, just in case. He breathed in deeply a few times, then finally let his breath out slowly through his teeth. Looked around. Frowned in confusion when he finally caught sight of Tony standing across the room.
"...What's going on?" Thor asked when Tony said nothing, instead just watching him, eyes wide and wary.
"I'm sorry," Tony said quickly, and then, when Thor's eyebrows furrowed together, added, "For waking you. You looked like you were having a nightmare."
Thor blinked at him slowly, as if he was still trying to figure out what happened. Finally, though, he held his hand out to him. "Come here."
Tony drifted closer, shoulders hunching in with every step. Thor didn't look upset, but he also didn't look very happy. He didn't know if it was because he'd remembered the nightmare, didn't and was taking Tony's word for it, or if he was just upset he'd been woken up. Maybe he should have asked what to do when they'd talked about starting to sleep together. He just... hadn't thought about it. He'd gone out of his way to tell Thor what to do if he was having a nightmare. He'd just... foolishly assumed that Thor never had any of his own when he hadn't returned the sentiment.
Thor took his hand, carefully drawing him back onto the bed. "I was. Having a nightmare," he offered gently. "It was horrible. Thank you for waking me up, beloved. Don't ever do that again."
"That's what I thought," Tony sighed miserably. He looked up at Thor through his lashes, frowning. "You looked like you were in pain."
"Emotional only," Thor promised, hand coming up to cradle Tony's cheek in it. "Bad memories. I've lost a lot." He leaned in, brushed a kiss over Tony's lips, then leaned back, smiling a little. "I appreciate you trying to rescue me from them, Tony. More than I can properly convey, I think."
"But don't do it again," Tony surmised, and Thor leaned in to press another kiss to his lips. He didn't say anything, but the kiss felt like a 'yes.' He sighed quietly as Thor leaned back, dropping his gaze to his lap. "What should I do?"
"Ideally, you'd let me work through it myself. I always pass through a nightmare eventually," Thor said. Then he sort of smiled and shook his head. "However, if you're really in distress, I suppose chucking another pillow full force from the other side of the room would be a viable substitute."
Tony huffed, unable to stop the way the corner of his mouth curled upward too. "My aim will only get better, you know."
"Tony, if there's anything I would never doubt, it's the fact that you'd get better at something just to spite me," Thor said, voice fond, and leaned in to kiss him again to smother his startled bark of laughter.
