an AU where everything’s the same except Tony gets chosen by a very powerful relic.
1. Ok, I don’t know which form could the relic have, though I’m imagining something which could wrap itself around Tony because he’s smoll and must be protected. One night Tony’s at the Sanctum waiting for Stephen and Wong to be back from some interdimensional diplomatic mission, and he falls asleep on the couch. Since he started to date Stephen, Tony has sort of developed a healthy sleep pattern, though is still extremely anxious about sleeping in an empty bed. Fact is: Stephen and Wong recovered a very powerful relic and brought it to the Sanctum, and the moment it sees Tony, decides it must protect this wonderful human, so it straight wraps around him like a blanket;
2. Wong is the first to step out of the portal, and he just stares blankly at the scene in front of him because he can’t believe to his eyes. The relic had never shown to be interested in finding a master, according to all the records he and Stephen could collect about it, and now, after a couple of days in the Sanctum, it decided to get attached to someone who’s not even a Sorcerer. If he was surprised when the Cloak chose Strange, now he’s questioning everything he knows about magic;
3. The Cloak, well, it’s extremely jealous of Tony’s relic, but they both agree that Tony can’t be left alone around Rogers and that’s frankly exhausting for all the people involved. Tony knows he will never get along with Steve any longer, but they are on speaking terms and Stephen already lectured the Cloak about not being a jerk with the Captain. He thought it got the message, now he has to do it all over again with two relics;
4. Tony is sure his relic is mad. How can something which always proved to be distant and cold toward humankind decide that he’s worthy of its attention and protection? Stephen tells him that he went through pretty much the same doubts when the Cloak chose him. This sorts of help Tony;
5. Wong tries to convince Tony to learn basic magic because the choice of the relic can indicate that it sees potential in Tony, but it doesn’t work because, despite dating Stephen and knowing that not all magic is bad, he’s still not confident about it and doesn’t want to be closer to it that is necessary;
6. At first, Tony is frightened as fuck to bring his relic on the field. Seriously, he doesn’t want to rip it or something because it’ll be to prove that he’s not worthy, though the relic itself has its own opinion about that. Stephen laughs his ass off when Tony tells him that. Basically, Tony threats the relic as if it’s his child and Stephen finds this too cute.

Experience: Learning the right way to connect the dots.
In relation to dragons, especially those posts about their monocular vision, I’d like to pitch a fantasy concept here-
The usual view of dragon riders is that the riders get a lot out of it and dragons, eh, dragons get something. Something intangible and ill defined and usually not a good enough reason to really justify it.
But what about dragons that bond with humans because humans offer a massive tactical advantage.
Okay, say you’re some scrawny fucking dragon. And like, you’re not doing bad for yourself- 40 feet of well armored fire breathing death does pretty decently by definition- but in the pecking order of dragons, you’re pretty low. You get your ass kicked if you try to challenge any big players.
And then one day you come upon this human- this weird fucker out in the middle of the woods yelling nonsense and you’re fine to move along but all of a sudden there’s a huge pull on the natural energy around you and you get whacked with this surge of light-
And you’ve mind melded with the fucker.
You’re both trying to figure out what’s going on, and all of a sudden, of course, rolls in a bigger dragon who’s going to beat the shit out of you for being in their territory.
So you’re trying to fly away, this human is clinging to you like their life depends on it, this bigger dragon is trying to kill you. It’s a bad day. But the human scrambles up on top of you and you realize, hey, for some reason you can see out of their eyes. You’ve got near 360 degree monocular vision (which you’re used to) but now like 100 degrees of super sharp depth perception on top of that. Which is actually letting you dodge a lot better. And you’re thinking faster- you can hear- feel?- the humans thoughts, and they’re pretty fast and smart thinkers too.
So you’re actually, now, suddenly turning the tables on this fight. The other dragon is bigger but now that’s working against them because your increased vision and reaction time lend themselves to speed. And then there’s this huge fucking pull on your energy, like massive- and a fucking lightning bolt shoots out and whacks the other dragon out of the sky. Like, oh, dragon-jesus, that’s what humans can do with magic?
So all of a sudden, you have this tiny squishy meatbag that’s transformed you from bottom of the pecking order to Top Dragon In Town because you have better vision and reflexes and you can use them as a locus for precise magical spells by mind melding with this tiny punk.
So of course you sit down and figure out how the fuck you melded in the first place and do it again. And dragon society is transformed, because now it favors the most social dragons, the ones able to mind-meld with humans the best. Because those ones get massive tactical advantages. So having human riders makes actual fucking sense. It’s basically a matter of survival.

To celebrate the launch of the Crown Tundra DLC for Pokémon Sword & Shield, The Pokémon Company has released mobile wallpapers of various legendary Pokémon through different games.
As a apology/birthday/deathday present to Danny, Maddie and Jack decide to make authentic space tech from his favorites movies... Star Wars and Star Trek.
Now the Justice League was dumbstruck chasing a, honest to god, real Millennium Falcon YT-1300 light freighter mixed with Enterprise NCC-1701?!
Did they forget to mention the transporter? Or the other brought to life fictional tech from star wars and star trek? Or the fact the this spacecraft was being driven by a blue-eyed and black-haired teenager?
jason: soooo, who's the new guy?
billy, currently sitting in the manor's living room eating a sandwich: hi
damian: i'm just as lost as you are
dick, inspecting billy carefully: wait a minute. blue eyes, black hair, around ten/eleven-ish
tim, catching up: oh shit, do you happen to be an orphan by any chance, new guy?
billy, very confused: yeah? how did you know?
dick: fucking hell bruce! you adopted another kid and you didn't tell us! again!
bruce, entering the room, also confused: what?
damian: pennyworth won't be happy about this, father
jason: i thought we were past this, bruce. we already talked, you cannot fill the void with even more stray kids who somewhat resemble younger you
tim, sighing: where did you kidnap him from this time?
bruce:
billy: uhh i think there's been a misunderstanding...
bruce, so done with this shit: boys, i'd like you to meet captain marvel
dick, jason, tim, damian: o h ?
