Aww, poor Tony. But I think we're getting to the core of the man, yes?

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, i agree! And I think his answers now are very different than they would have been a year ago.

Aw, Tony… <3 Poor man *hugs him* And yes, someone (*cough* STEVE *cough*) needs to explain to him exactly how much Steve cares. (Also that wanting to do good is what's really important.)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Yes! I swear, EVENTUALLY this will be Steve Tony, it's just taking it's sweet time. Especially with this whole team dynamic thing. THERE ARE A LOT OF AVENGERS! Thank God I'm just working with movie!-verse here. I can't imagine adding in another five or so people. *shudder*

Oh, don't I know what you mean! As a writer, I can assure you I understand completely :-)
I'm (not so) secretly writing a massive Avengers-fic, also mainly movie-verse but inspired by comics. It's in second draft now, and it took me 73k words to get them together *G* (I'm not always that bad, but this is a big, plotty one.) Anyway, the team keep being hard to keep track of, too. I tend to focus on a couple of team members at at time, because the group scenes end up a mess, I almost always forget someone ;-) So yeah, I get you there. But you're doing great, and I certainly don't mind if this becomes a long one.

Tonyyyy! *clutches him to my chest* Poor bb.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I know. I ... just ... can't ... stop ... torturing him!

*hugs Tony*

*hugs Bruce too, 'cos Bruce should always have hugs*

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Dude, they ALL need hugs! (the inappropriate kind!!)

[nightrider101.livejournal.com]

Oh, Tony. *hugs*

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

INORITE?

[xylohypha.livejournal.com]

Awww, Tony!

But I'm sure it'll get better. You know. Eventually. After some more stuff. (Fans are cruel that way.)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

ha! That is exactly my plot! Eventually. After some more stuff. :D

[pinigir.livejournal.com]

Awwww.
Tony sure misses out on a lot of things now.

Loved that he misses the heroing part more than he misses the flying. :-)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I think it shows how much he's grown up since becoming an Avenger!

[pinkelephant42.livejournal.com]

I've always pictured Bruce as the sort of person who likes to stay on the outside of things and I do think it's very interesting to see this fandom latch onto him and want to give him a home and friends so much and what I really like about this is that it's Bruce helping Tony because I really like how they latched onto each other in that "science bros" way in the movie.

I'm sorry, I'm in a rambly mood today. What I mean is that I like your vulnerable Tony and understanding Bruce very much here, and that this movie and fandom and moments like this has shifted the way I see Bruce, and it's good.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

thank you! And yes, for me too. I really disliked the Hulk movie, and it's too bad, because it really had potential, but I REALLY didn't like Edward Norton in the role, and thought the entire film was melodramatic and waaay over the top.

Same with Hawkeye. I really didn't have many feels for him either way after the movie, but fandom has really made him come alive for me.

[pinkelephant42.livejournal.com]

Something about that movie really bothered me and idek what. It didn't help that I hate General Ross so whenever he shows up I'm too busy hating him to enjoy what's going on.

As over the top as that movie felt, that's how most Hulk comics feel to me. xD I was never a fan. Like many heroes my intro to the Hulk was in Amazing Spider-Man and Peter sees the good in people, even the Hulk. So I always had that bit of empathy for him even if I never really liked him.

And then Mark Ruffalo nailed it and I did pick up Planet Hulk after that and enjoyed it.

The last few chapters are wonderful as ever.... I feel so sorry for both Steve and Tony... hopefully they can start to open up a little more.. even if not to each other... I love Bruce voice of reason....
Sorry I've not been commenting.... LiveJournal has not been my friend the last couple of weeks... :-(:-(

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

No problem! I'm glad you managed to make a truce! :D I do also post on A03 and tumblr if you like those mediums more.


I'm glad you're still following along! <3

Oh, Tony <333
You know, one of the things I love about this comic (apart from STEVE/TONY HC OMG) is the way this is affecting Tony. A lot of mind-altered-character genre fics play it for laughs, but I love how you really get how devastating this must be for him. I used to work with people with brain injuries, and I always felt it was worse for the ones who retained some insight, because they knew what they'd lost. You've really captured that, and I think you're awesome.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Doctor approved! Yay! :D

Thank you for your lovely words!

I have no experience with people who have brain injuries (thank goodness!) but I totally agree. Having the wherewithal to know what you have lost would be so much more heart breaking.

I think you're pretty awesome too! I seriously love your posts about your geese and doctoring. One of my big regrets in life was not going to medical school. Well, no. I regret not becoming a doctor. The actual schooling was not something I wanted. ;)

[forest-rose.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, you could still do it! My fiancé and I both became doctors later in life - he was 40 when he graduated - and I have a student in my class at the moment who is 43. Although it is a ton of work, and I am permanently exhausted at the moment!

By the way, I took your advice and bought some pencils and started drawing! I'm very excited! xx

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm already 44, so add up 4 years of pre-med, plus, what? Four more years of actual med school?

I'm too old for that shit. ;)

And sadly, as much as I think I would be a totally awesome doctor/surgeon, the secret art of maths has always elluded me.

Not to mention that I have two small-ish kids and my own business to run. Going back to school is just not an option that I want to persue.

Yay for drawing!! I hope you'll post some stuff? I'd be more than willing to give you some tips or pointers if you like!
