I hate that the people's narrative is "look at the villains he created," instead of, "why the hell is everyone obsessed with him?"
Obadiah was a PREDATOR before Tony. He used him, manipulated him, and paid goons to kill him out of greed and jealousy.

@LokmisterisBack Perhaps not mass murder, in his case, but he did try to kill a 16 year old Peter Parker and didn't care where his tech went (mostly to other criminals who easily could have used them for mass murder) so it's not really much better.

I spiritually blame A03 going down for 2-4 weeks on all those nasty people that constantly complain about what fic writers do. You brought us here with your bad juju.
@isolated_images I can't imagine that tech wasn't sold for profit, likely to the medical industry. Tony also has penchant for nicknames even for things he's fond of (looking at Dum-E). Beck turning villain is CLEARLY bc he was unstable, which got him fired to begin with
@isolated_images You can comment on corporate injustice all you want, there is possibly something there, but Beck made it personal towards Tony and targeted Peter (who was still a minor). Beck is not justified taking his Tony hate out on a kid.
@_gabby_allyce YW!! You're completely right. Killian picked one of the worst possible times to approach him and was rejected by lots of people before Tony. It would have been really funny (and realistic) if he had been too drunk to remember him at all tbh.
Steve fought Tony tooth and nail over his obsession with protecting the world, tearing the Avengers apart. Yet the second Tony vanished into space, Steve swallowed his pride to crown him Earth’s best defender.
Steve admitted Tony was the shield, and Tony never got to hear it
October 29 - Day One
Tragedy struck when AO3 went down today.
What we thought was going to be a long 12 hours is now going to be 2-4 weeks. I wasn't prepared- nothing was downloaded. I have 13+ chaptered fics I was reading...
Others have gathered archives. We might have hope.
