my fiance has a degree in biotechnology and cytogenetics and worked at bed bath and beyond and older people would always ask him, “so did you go to college?” and when he said yes and told them his degree they would say, “wow!! then what the heck are you doing working here??” and if that doesn’t tell you how disillusioned and ignorant the older generations are to the situation many millennials are in right now i don’t know what will
wow this is… unsettling. i look at this and it freaks me out because it’s all true. tony comes back in the first with a smile on his face and a mission, yeah he has some skeletons in the closet, but those are pushing him forward. in the second, tony still has some of his bravado, but now it’s mostly to keep people from thinking somethings wrong. he was dying for crying out loud and he didn’t want to burden anyone with that, so he kept it from them. then the last one.. he’s just /tired/ plain, old tired (it’s saddening). he’s still trudging along, yeah, but so much has happened that he doesn’t know anymore if he can keep the people he cares about safe or not. new york affected him, he has ptsd and anxiety and, to top it off, he just lost his home and almost got pepper and maya killed. the past couple of years shown in the movies shows how effected tony really was, and, in my honest opinion, i feel like some people don’t realize how hard that is. that all of these factors led to how tony acted in AOU and made him think “hey, i can finally keep. them. safe.”
he’s tired. and some would assume even done with it all. he doesn’t want to be, we can see that with how he keeps trying to raise himself back up and tries to keep going. but like he says “i’m just a man in a can.” a MAN, not a god, or supersoldier, or a pair of people trained for this kinda stuff (not trying to take away from them because they ALL have things they’re struggling through). yeah, tony has made mistake, but this is why it makes me upset when people say tony is a villian. he isn’t, he was trying to find a solution.. in a not very smart way. things affected him (blah blah “that shouldnt effect his actions” shutup okay i know get out) and tony wants /everyone/ safe; he wants to know he did something good with his life. that he didn’t waste it like he promised yinsen.
Years ago in my high school AP economics class I was assigned to sit in the corner of the room where I was flanked by a handful of very popular, very lazy kids. After every exam the teacher would announce (much to my chagrin) my “high score” to the class.
After a particularly challenging exam where I only scored 93%, the teacher announced that the guy to my right (let’s call him Matt) had ALSO scored 93%, his friend behind him 90%, and the friend behind HIM 90%! Needless to say I vacillated between self-doubt and suspicion for a few days before I finally “congratulated” one of the 90%‘ers on his score. With an impish grin he admitted that his friend Matt had been cheating off me for months and “thanked” me for helping “so many people do so well” in the class. The petty revenge gears started turning in my head for what seemed like ages before I replied “no problem, I’m just glad to help!”
At the next exam I put my my paper in very clear view of Matt. He had been told that I was now willing to “help” him and his friends. I circled all wrong answers while making a special mark for the correct ones. Just before the time was up, I quickly changed my answers back when nobody was looking, turned in my exam, and smugly walked back to my seat.
What I didn’t know at the time was that the cheating conspiracy didn’t just involve the kids sitting next to me, but that my answers were written down and forwarded to the next 4 periods, all of which took an identical test.
One week later a record 22 people failed the exam. Matt empathetically remarked “Oh man, did you fail too!?” I flipped over my sheet: 100%.

not jagged’s, penny’s- its not a huge thing, but her eyes go in different directions, one up, one straight across. maybeee it was done purposefully to show she was looking both forward and to the side, but its still odd and not how eyes tend to move if theyre rigged normally :P
