A Mood
Headcannon where the Avengers are trying to teach Vision how to eat with his new, more human body, and the concept of edible vs. non-edible is not as easy to grasp as the other Avengers would assume
Cue Peter walking into the kitchen, seeing Vision pour himself a glass of bleach, and literally dying of laughter before asking for one himself because ‘mood’
Tony nearly has a heart attack walking into the kitchen two minutes later, and Peter gets grounded for a week because ‘I’m old, I have heart problems, you can’t do that to me Peter oh my god’
Peter: [meeting Shuri] hey I like your shoelaces
Shuri: thanks, I stole them from the president
Peter:
Peter: *softly* holy-
Shuri, squinting at Peter: I like your shoelaces.
Peter, eyes sparkling: Thanks! I stole them from the president!
Steve: Wait, what?
One of the most moving parts of the kneeling scene is all the Wakandans joining– they’re royalty, they’re on a whole other level to the rest of those heroes, but T’challa is one of the first to go down and pay his respects. To show that he was humbled by Tony’s decision. A king, kneeling for a man who saved him and his people. Like…. it just says so much about T’challa/ Okoye/ Shuri, and the humility they carry with them.
Tony died for them, sacrificed for them, and now they kneel for him alongside the rest of the fighters.
Eddie: * putting on a shirt*
Venom: take it off!
Eddie:What’s matter?
Venom: we don’t like it!
Eddie: oh. * takes off one shirt and puts on another* better?
Venom: * frustrated growling*
The second part gets a little pg -13? so yeah..
V loves their husband. And as such they are willing to embrace his tremendous love of Halloween and all of the silly traditions that come with the season.
Well…it wasn’t all silly one of their fondest and most treasured memories was one wonderful October.
After the couple excitedly brought their newborn baby home. Thanks to Liz and Dr. Steve it had been able to grow stronger and healthy enough to survive outside the incubator. The premature birth left it delicate and frail it’s first few days of life. But now it was a healthy happy giggly baby.
Months had pasted and the little one went from being a pile of symbiote to being able to slightly hold a simple form managing to lift it’s little head it had looked similar to a snake.
It watched from their other parents arms as their father excitedly started decorating the house for the babies first Halloween. (No plastic skeletons of course). V remembers Eddie asking to hold the little one, who was squirming feeding off their father’s energy.
Planting one last kiss on the giggling baby’s head they handed it over to their darling Eddie. And he started enthusiastically talking about all the “fun we’re gonna get to have this month!”
V took the opportunity to sneak into the kitchen for a slice of pumpkin shaped chocolate cake with bright orange frosting then coming back into the living room to enjoy their treat with the family. Only to find their husband sitting crisscross with their baby in his arms and seeing the little snake like figure poke out as they both began watching the ever treasured Casper the Friendly Ghost.
The baby cooed at the TV with big bright eyes
“You’re gonna love this movie! Been my favorite since I was about your age.” Eddie brightly smiling with every word.
V’s soul melted in their body at sight of the two most precious people in all of the stars, in any galaxy. Safe full of love and happiness. Eddie sharing something that meant so much to him with his family, with their baby. No cake could honestly be as sweet as that moment.
….then again Eddie sometimes did drive them crazy with the Halloween stuff sometimes.
Like right now they absolutely refused to come back inside the bedroom. They where gonna sit and pout on this couch until Edward Brock and apologized with out laughing.
Baby long put to bed and house picked up from the little Halloween party they hosted with the few friends they did have.
They where separated V holding their humanoid shape. Eddie pressed against them. Both leaned up to one of the walls of their bedroom. The kisses and bites to their neck made their flesh tremble and back arch into him. His breath heating up as they stoked over the muscles of his stomach and chest, definitely better then any trick, V’s own delicious treat.
Eddie pulls away, both left with shivers of excitement. V pulls him closer again kissing at his jaw.
“What do you have planned love?”
He couldn’t resist them…but he couldn’t resist this even more…
He leans over to the side of their head. They excitedly await to hear how their handsome darling husband planned on ravishing them that night.
He starts in a whisper. “I want”
….then he stops and puts on that stupid fucking voice.
“ I vant to suck vou’re dick!”
He starts cackling near hollowing with laughter. Falls to his knees wheezing.
The hot arousal absolutely dowsed with the stupidity of his joke. If it could even be called a joke. And that was it, any kind of love making that night. Canceled. They walk out of the bedroom with a huff of annoyance, bruised pride, and the soaked ashes of what would have been a passionate fire of sex.
Eddie has slumped himself at the feet of the couch still wheezing, tears at the edges of his eyes begging them to come back to bed with him.
They refuse to sleep with Count Brock.
So this deleted scene has been going around from Endgame and it makes me wonder… Why didn’t the Russos put it in? Well, none of are going to know that for sure, but I can give my opinion on why the deleted scene should have stayed and possibly even replaced the funeral scene.
I think most people can agree that the deleted scene after the battle and funeral scene are very similar, like, scarily similar. They both begin with a close-up of Tony, then to Pepper, and then finally pans across all the other Avengers, giving each one of them a moment of recognition. I think even the music is the same in both.
But what makes them different? To me, the difference is all in the uniform. Everyone in the deleted scene is in their superhero garb, as opposed to black dress wear. Why does this matter?
Think of how many times you see a hero fall to their knees.
There is so much emotional baggage packed into the simple movement, and showing that posture while also having each Avenger in their uniform just emboldens that emotional impact even further. These are heroes, the strongest group of people in the universe congregating together on one battlefield, and they have all fallen to their knees. Even after winning, they’ve all been defeated.
Not only that, but they don’t get back up. We never see them stand. The camera pulls away then fades to black, leaving us with an image of the Avengers, smaller than they’ve ever been before, all because of one life lost.
These simple things: the uniforms, the falling to the knees, the setting of the battlefield… They all carry so much more emotional weight than any funeral scene could. We’ve scene funeral scenes before, hundreds of times, but it’s so very rare we see our favorite superheroes drop to their knees and don’t get back up.
Tony Stark’s death is a defeat in their eyes. They may have won, but they lost so much more. We lost so much more. We’d do exactly the same if we were on that battlefield. We fall on to our knees to mourn our losses, to represent our defeats.
This scene was the perfect, emotional send-off we needed.
