I'm also going to probably watch AWE tonight, since everything else is down the hole.
Tony and Jane, Tony and Pepper
Oh man, Jane. Well, I mean, Tony likes her, tbh. She's squeaky and that just amuses the hell out of him, and I know he's probably been heavy breathing all over her machine in the lab.
But at the same time he's wondering if she's not, um. What's the word. Excitable. Yes. That is the world.
and Jane is super passionate
Idk, that's just the word he's attached to her.
For his own Tony reasons.
... What a terrifying meme
AS FOR PEPPER, it's Pepper. There are literally no big shocks there. Pepper is his Pepper and he will straight up go to the mat over that point. Full stop.
v__ No. That's it. That's his feelings. Just no.
rag_doll_witch Demons are understandable. It's people that are crazy. Still watching you.
chaneystarr Isn't it? Um, he is...Vaguely frightened of her, because she's a little scary with that triple imposter kill you with her thighs thing. But on the whole, she puts up with Barton and hasn't killed
him yet, so clearly there's something not scary in there somewhere. Maybe.
people are very very crazy and he loves you for it :3
That's a great start. We can work with that.
It is a great start. So many places it can go.
Tony and Evelyn! Tony and Ned!
Evelyn strikes him as pretty no-nonsense, not unlike Pepper, tbh. Just...More librarian-y. Maybe a little bit obsessive-compulsive with that whole three years of notes thing, but he's not judging.
NED...Oh man, I literally can't wait to get to that tag but. Mood whiplash all over the place. And you know, some people build awesome bots and suits, some people back awesome pies. Whatever.
well god tony not everyone is from an amazing time where they can just yell at a device and have it take notes for them ok
Oh no, bbstark.

He still thinks this whole...Medieval times thing is weird or whatever, but bbstark is entirely too earnest and...Eager for him to really actually hold it against him.
Which is why he's going to get Barton to hook bbstark up so he can go play elves, too.
he would love to play elves.

though he has no idea what an elf is.
That's okay, he'll load the kid up with Tolkien to read.
Oh man, James. Still weird. Still sad about the impending doom of the Steve's virginity jokes. He really likes those, okay, but really, it's nice to have a living do-monkey around.
Still weirded out at the idea of him raising everyone and their brother's kids, tbh, but he can actually...See it? James is too much of a smartypants for his own good.
Hahaha this amuses her XD
There's maybe two or three people he'd make an effort to actually seek out and have a conversation with, and Ellen's on that list.
She's really no different to him than the tough older chicks that work in the taverns in Tortuga. She reminds him of that, because she's been there, done that, has no time for your bullshit.
They are ~kindred spirits~ from different times. If he was from her time, he'd probs be a hunter. If she was from him, there is literally no difficulty in seeing her as a pirate.
Now I want Ellen to get sea sick.
He'd laugh his ass off, tbh.
Get him back on a ship again and then making him come on land, Ellen.
And she'd just flip him off and keep puking. Ah love
That is some kind of feelings there, let me tell you.
He, of course, would have absolutely no idea what being flipped off meant, but if he learned, he'd be hella amused, ngl.
She needs to start teaching him rude gestures
She does does not, he'd get in so much trouble. Do it, Ellen.
That'll be great, tho. So much less effort in having to word a suitably appropriate way to tell someone to fuck off.
When he can just flip them off and keep walking.
(What's sad is I can see it in my head.)
pyreside: btw before Avengers came out, I headcanoned Pepper was a LOTR fan
(she's a romance novel fan, too)
so yeah, I giggled when he called Clint Legolas
