Ironhusbands?

wOW okay these got really long and specific lmao (I love me some ironhusbands they are so underappreciated)

Who said “I love you” first

Tony, as he falls asleep the day of his parents funeral when he was drunk. Rhodey didn’t think anything of it because it’s Tony and he always gets super affectionate when he’s drunk and he’s emotional and it probably didn’t mean what he thought it did. Tony never mentioned that night afterwards, so Rhodey thought he didn’t remember. Over the years Tony will say it to him casually, in a seemingly friendly manner and Rhodey will respond in kind. Every time Rhodey sees another tabloid talk about Tony’s recent conquests and  drunken spectacle he’ll think of that night. And the first time Rhodey really tells Tony he loves him is when he’s holding Tony after he woke up from a nightmare of Afganistan, and he keeps saying it and kissing him until Tony stops shaking in his arms.

Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background

Both of them would, but they would be really dumb, ugly picutres of each other that would make anyone else go “????” but when they see them they are like “yes this is the love of my life look at how perfect-”

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror

They both do. Though, Rhodey’s tend to be more of the cute, romantic kind. He’ll leave little hearts, smily faces, I love you, etc.

Tony will write in the fog but usually what he writes are notes or equations about a project he’d been stuck on for awhile that he had inspiration for while in the shower. Rhodey will shake his head fondly whenever he sees these (and he makes sure JARVIS takes a picture for Tony to look at later)

((on one notible occasion, Tony had drawn a crude, full bodied war machine armor doing finger guns and written “WARMACHINEROX” at the bottom with a winky face. Rhodey will get revenge for this one of these days))

Who buys the other cheesy gifts

Whenever Rhodey comes back from deployment he brings Tony all kinds of stupid, touristy souviners. Tony’s favorite is the flamingo pen wearing sunglasses with a pink afro that says “Bon Voyage!” on the base of it. He has no idea where Rhodey even got that monstrocety, but it sits proudly on his desk next to the picture of Jarvis and Ana. (fun fact this is an actual pen my sister bought me when she studied abroad in France in 2011)

Honeybear headcanon/fic idea, when Rhodes left for his first deployment, Tony was very lonely and missing him and couldn't do anything cause don't ask don't tell (fucKING patriarchy), so in kinda stupid move Tony goes to get a tattoo in honor, and actually the artist adopts him cause he's so smol and nervous and genuine. Well when Rhodes discovers it, he's very honored and repays Tony ;) so it becomes a thing for Tony to get a tattoo on his thighs for each deployment

I changed some things a little bit, but I love this prompt. Tony+tattoos is my weakness.

(note: all those numbers are random lol)

***

When Rhodey graduated and was assigned to the Aviano air base in Italy, Tony was happy that at least Rhodey would be able to live abroad like how he always wanted. He was also glad that Rhodey would be in Italy, the best place in the world as far as Tony’s concerned, and a country where he knew the language, and Tony would be able to drag Rhodey to all his favorite places when he went to visit him.

After seeing Rhodey off at the airport, Tony went to the tattoo parlor two blocks away from his apartment that he always walked past on the way to school. He walked in and got a tattoo on his left thigh, right below his hipbone – 617, the number of the room Tony and Rhodey shared when they were freshmen.

(A year later, Tony went to visit Rhodey and they drove to the Carbonell family’s villa in Venice to celebrate Tony’s 18th birthday over an extended weekend. Rhodey saw the tattoo for the first time when they were lounging by the pool. Tony ended up getting the best present he could have ever asked for that year.)

After four years in Italy, after Tony took over the company and moved to California, Rhodey requested a location transfer and packed his bags for Los Angeles. Tony welcomed him home and showed off his new tattoo, inked right under the first one – 530, May 30th, the day Tony and Rhodey finally got together that summer in Venice.

The great thing about the Air Force was that they didn’t deploy their men too frequently, so Tony and Rhodey were always able to spend time together. But it was inevitable that Rhodey would eventually be assigned off-base for a few months for special duties, so when Rhodey was sent off for his first deployment since moving to LA, Tony went and got his third tattoo – 138, the last three digits of Rhodey’s serial number.

It became a tradition. Whenever he and Rhodey were apart for long stretches of time, Tony would go out and get another tattoo.

518, the day they flew back to Massachusetts to get married715, the flight Rhodey took from Venice to Boston to surprise Tony for Thanksgiving502, the day Tony escaped the Ten Rings and Rhodey found him in the desert101, the number of flowers in the bouquet Rhodey got Tony for their first wedding anniversary

The list goes on.

All the tattoos were numerical, each one a representation of a significant event in their relationship.

There was only one exception. A single J marked on Tony’s shoulder blade, complementing the T that Rhodey has inked on his.

“Safety first. What are you? FIVE?” Tony/rhodey

“Oh my god, seriously?” Rhodey groans. “Safety goggles?” 

“Yes,” Tony answers primly. “I wasn’t raised like an animal, Rhodey.” 

“Oh, rich boy?” Rhodey asks. “I saw you come home last night and attack that ramen as if you were eating your last meal as a wild dog. Shut up.” Tony rolls his eyes, still snapping his goggles on. 

“I’m sorry, I’d rather be blinded by something else rather than my lack of knowledge about basic safety procedures, darling dearest.” 

“Can you guys quit flirting and actually get started on your robot?!” Kendra calls from the other side of the room. “Some of us actually ate a good breakfast!” Rhodey flips her off, but takes a pair of goggles. 

“Only because you’re a nerd for safety,” he says. 

“Whatever you say honey,” Tony responds. “Besides, don’t listen to Kendra. We’re already about two weeks ahead of schedule, and I think this one is gonna be awesome.” 

“We already built Dum-E, who you said was going to be awesome, and then he planned a road trip to downtown Boston,” Rhodey snarks. “Real classy, by the way.” 

“You’re the one who gave him a rambunctious personality,” Tony says. “I’m not responsible for that one.” 

“And yet, everyone attributes it to you,” Rhodey says. “Almost like you’re the troublemaker.” 

“You love it,” Tony grins, going in for a quick peck. “I was thinking, they put in a new Indian restaurant, and I met the new owner, and he said we should stop by for date night. They promise the best ever.” 

“You just want an opportunity to tip over a hundred percent.” 

“…correct.” Rhodey rolls his eyes. 

“Sure, babe. Six work okay for you?” 

“Yes!” 

tony has had an on and off crush on rhodney since they were really young. sometimes he thinks he's over it and then rhodney will do Something and tony's heart skips a beat and is just like "oh no." and gets real down on himself because obviously rhodney would never love him in the same way

this has been sitting in my asks for a while bc i love it but i always felt like i couldn’t do it justice but here i am willing to try let’s do this 

The first time Tony thinks about even liking Rhodey, it’s when he gets him cough medicine and water when he’s sick. 

“You dumbass, you’re sick,” Rhodey says. “You need to care of that.” 

“I am invincible,” Tony scoffs. He then sneezes so hard that he nearly falls off the couch. Rhodey rolls his eyes. 

“You giant dork, don’t get me sick. We’re gonna watch some crap television.” They end up getting around to watching Star Trek: Next Generation, which isn’t crap, and Tony looks at Rhodey. 

He’s really cute. 

Oh no. None of that. A.) Why the hell would Rhodey date him? B.) There are better options for Rhodey. C.) Mom and dad would kill him for even dating a man. 

Turns out he doesn’t have to worry about reason C after a while. But he has a lot more on his plate after the reason gets resolved. 

He hides in his lab for one week. He’s creating, definitely not crying, and drinking scotch that Howard said should only be allowed to come out when there was a major business deal. 

Rhodey finds him in the lab, working on another weapon. “Tones,” Rhodey says. He looks up. Rhodey looks nice. Tired. 

“You don’t have to be here,” Tony says. “I know I’m a mess, I don’t want you dealing with all…that.” 

“Want and need are two very different concepts,” Rhodey says, laughing as Tony rolls his eyes. There was this required literature class, Tony hated it, and Rhodey loved teasing him about it. He was funny like that. “Come on up, I made you the greasiest breakfast alive.” 

“With brown sugar bacon?” 

“Yes, as long as you help me wash everything because I don’t know how to work the dishwasher and you do. Come on.” 

So they eat breakfast together, and the sunlight hits, and Tony wishes that this could be life permanently. Him and Rhodey, eating breakfast and watching the news or reading it. 

But it can’t be. Because Rhodey is…he’s someone else. He’s the kind of guy who deserves to have a nice house, wonderful partner, kids if he wants them, and two dogs. He’s the kind of guy who doesn’t need such a fuck-up in his life, because honestly, Rhodey has higher standards. Thank god. 

So Tony turns to see the news, and they’re still talking about Howard and Maria Stark, and the tragedy, and how their son hasn’t come to the media. When will he come so that they can act like they care about his state of being, like they don’t want all the grisly details? Tony, Tony, can you tell us about the car? How did they look? Where were you? Why weren’t you with your family? And Tony will smile and charm them and hate everything about it. 

He does that. Puts on a suit, a deep red tie, and lets loose. He tells them that it’s not their business, and that they were going to take a romantic getaway together. “And of course, you can’t have romantic with a kid in the way,” Tony says, and the reporter laughs. 

Rhodey greets him at home with a hug, hot chocolate, and a promise that Tony’s gonna get the best fucking Christmas present ever. Oh! They also got a real Christmas tree! 

Tony’s never had a real Christmas tree. Well, they have. Maria liked to keep up appearances, pretend like they all cared about the holiday and what it meant. But this is…different. Rhodey did a haul at ornament stores and found the worst ones. The rejects, the funny ones, and the neon plastic. 

“This is going to look awful honey bear,” Tony remarks. “Let’s do it.” 

They put on the radio, dance to Christmas music, and Tony realizes that most people actually have fun on the holiday. Who knew? 

Tony’s flown to the Rhodes’ house for Christmas. “You’re not spending it alone,” Rhodey says. “You’d probably drink too much and pass out.” 

“Saying that’s a bad thing?” 

“Well, Mama makes the best Christmas dinner and you know it.” 

Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes greet Tony like he’s a son coming home, and Tony can’t help but think that maybe this is how parents were supposed to be. And then he feels guilty because his literally just died what the hell–and Mama just pulls him into a hug. 

“Come on, help me around the house, hmm?” 

Rhodey complains that Mama treats Tony more like a son than her actual son, the one she birthed, and Tony just laughs as they string dried oranges and cranberries onto a string for decoration. 

“Jimmy, have some heart. And go to the store and get me some more apples, wouldn’t you?” 

It’s Christmas Eve when Tony and Rhodey are playing chess together, and Rhodey says that he’s really glad that Tony came. He was worried. 

It is Christmas Eve when Tony realizes he’s in love with James Rupert Rhodes, but he’s never going to do anything about it.

Cool facts brought to you by Mother Nature.

Is anyone else just really obsessed with the fact that we’re animals but we disassociate ourselves with them?

Like isn’t that so fascinating? The phrase “I’m not some animal!” Is actually a thing but ??? Yes we are! And it’s so fascinating!! Here’s some things to think on:

•We literally have packs. Whether it be family, close friends, friend groups at school, etc. we all need human interaction, and even some of the most introverted people are included in this. People have been known to die from loneliness!

•We all need strong figures to look at and mold ourselves after. lacking a motherly, fatherly, etc. figure can largely impact who a person grows up to be. Without someone to look up to, a child wouldn’t learn useful lessons from them, what’s right and what’s wrong, etc. We rely very heavily on others!!

•We are EXTREMELY territorial. Have you ever thought about this? Signs are placed around fences designed to keep other humans out saying “trespassing will be insert bad thing here” because humans they don’t know aren’t welcome in their land! Even though it’s really not our land, we pay money to “own” it in the eyes of other humans!

•Attraction. With a few exceptions, (hello asexuals! :D) humans experience the desire to mate with others, but not just anyone! While not everything is about looks, they are a contributing factor! For example, ‘skinny’ people are considered attractive because statistically the less fat an individual has, the higher the libido. Biologically, people like this because A) more sex, and B) more offspring, even if you don’t want children! Your body is still designed to want lots of offspring to keep the human race going. Another example is what society claims to be “beautiful.” Shiny, thick, healthy hair is considered pretty because the offspring an individual with this hair would produce will also have lovely, healthy hair! This goes the same for long legs (for running well) and more!

This list could go on absolutely forever! Feel free to reblog and add some more things :)

do you guys know of any parental fics that involve mustang/riza/team mustang saving ed and/or al from some kind of danger or bad situation? im craving some Angsty Shit 😤

Sure do!! Many of these may have torture mention, all will have warning! 

Buried–Al is dead. Suicide attempt.

Dollmaker–A serial killer from Roy’s past has one last surprise before he’s executed as a parting gift for the Colonel. Torture tw.

Fever–Edward is getting sick and goes on a mission he wasn’t assigned. Colonel Mustang is not happy when he finds out. Illness mention. 

Gold From Lead–There were whispers. There was absolutely no way to stop them. Ed would rip out his spleen if he knew what all those people were insinuating about the two of them.

Light At the End of the Tunnel–While in pursuit of a wanted criminal, Edward and Roy end up in the sewer system below Central. Things quickly take a turn for the worst.

Foul Depths–A killer is loose in Central and an already injured Edward is caught up in the whole mess… whether he likes it or not. Torture mention. Sequels include drug use.

Number Twenty Eight–As of today, Edward Elric had been missing for four months, two weeks, and five days. Torture mention. Chimerism. Sequel is Snow!

Stairway to Paradise–Post saving but very angsty!! Ed has been MIA for months, and when Roy finally finds him, he is blind and more than just physically injured. With the State honorably discharging him, and no father to speak of, Roy has no choice but to care for the boy and try to put the pieces back together. Torture mention.

The Tales and Tails of Elric–Edward went on a mission to investigate missing soldiers, little did he know, he was going to become the next target. Missing for six months, Roy finally finds him in his aunt’s bar of all places, but something is different. It is now up to them to get him back to normal and find out what happened to all those soldiers. Chimerism. Torture mention.

What He Feared the Most–Roy didn’t particularly see himself as a protective man, but when the Fuhrer takes his threats too far, Roy will find something within himself he never imagined was possible.

Whiteout–When the train to Central is delayed due to weather, Ed decides to walk the rest of the way. As the freezing weather blows in, Ed and Al are forced to face an unsettled issue of their past and Roy becomes an unsuspecting witness to a chink in Ed’s armor.

Without Flinching–Shortly after Edward gains his State Alchemist title, he’s already run into trouble. It’s not even been half of a year yet, and already, terror has arrived on Mustang’s desk, in the form of an old walkie-talkie, and a note, saying, “You have 24 hours.” There’s a new threat in the East, and apparently, he wants to play a game. With all of them.

Your Son–“I’m not your father. It’s not fair that you can affect me this much.” A military function becomes a nightmare when Ed accidentally takes a poisoned drink meant for Roy.

“Happy” reading!

Clouded leopards are the cutest!

I recently ran into this problem while writing and when I did some google searches for a solution I wasn't able to find a lot. My story is written in first person and I don't know how to introduce my character's name without sounding cheesy or cliche. The "My name is [character] is so cringey but I'm not sure how to introduce my character to the reader in a way that sounds natural. Any advice?

Have someone they talk to call them by their name. 

Have a stranger ask them their name for a good reason (e.g. a barista or nurse).

Have them feel annoyed at seeing their name misspelled or hearing it mispronounced.

Have them fill out forms and whoever receives the form comments on the name (e.g. ”Oh, that’s a pretty name” or “Nice, that’s my cousin’s name” etc.).

Have them respond to hearing their name or one similar to it when it isn’t them someone is trying to communicate with (e.g. Kara hears someone call out “Karen” on the street, and turns her head).

Have them mention that another person in their social group has their name (e.g. ”The other Rachel in our book club said…”).

If they primarily go by a nickname, have someone who calls them by their full name make an appearance (e.g. a sudden phone call from their mother, who insists on calling them by their birth name).

Have someone make a joke/pun with their name (e.g. a rival calling them “Dick” when their name is Richard).

Have something associated with them carry their name (e.g. a family business called “Bob Howard & Sons” or a vanity plate on their vehicle).

They like searching through personalized keychain racks and magnet displays to see if their unusual name is in there this time.

Have it mentioned in roll call (this one’s a bit common in a school setting, but roll calls can happen in certain other settings too).

Have them read a letter, email, or something else addressed to them.

There must be a dozen other ways. Use these to brainstorm and find one that fits your story better.
