i found out recently that the very first trees did not rot when they died because the microbes that decompose trees hadnt evolved yet…which makes sense but it’s weird to think about. this actually caused a huge change in the climate at the time and many of these trees turned into coal because of it…

like imagine a tree falling in the forest and the trunk just stays there for years and years with little change, and it only goes away when it is buried under dirt. that’s weird.

obviously they were still working on the worldbuilding back then

imagine all the lag from those trunks laying around. glad they patched those microbes in

So y’all talk about this like it’s a joke, but the exact same time is happening today with plastics, except today’s microbes are a bit quicker on the uptake. They’re still new at it, but Earth’s decomposers are hard at work learning how to eat polyester.

*ancient microbe voice* kids these days have it so easy. mutating to feed on new materials within a century? In my day it took us a millenium at minimum! we had to metabolize uphill in the snow both ways!

*even more ancient microbe voice* pfeh, typical oxygen-breather attitude. you think you had it rough but YOU have those fancy MITOCHONDRIA.

Realizing this guy

is going to help raise this guy

Alright, assholes.

I don’t usually defend Tony Stark. But this “Something went wrong” bullshit really rubbed me the wrong way. Wanna know why? Because the “Something that went wrong” was Howard Stark. The man that Tony idolised, and the man that abused him. And don’t give me that crap that in the MCU universe, Howard didn’t neglect or hurt Tony — he did. It’s very evident in the tie-in MCU comics.

But in both universes, Tony was raised by Edwin Jarvis. In 616, he has a father — Howard — who is constantly aggravated with his son, both as a result of his own drinking and because of what he feels Tony should be.

While Jarvis might be sensitive, thoughtful, intelligent and occupy roles that aren’t traditionally occupied considered “masculine” (which is bullshit in itself) if Tony ever displays anything remotely indicative of  a “softer side” he is ridiculed, called a sissy, told that Stark men are “made of Iron” and abused by his father: 

In the MCU, things aren’t depicted of being much better: 

And in the MCU Jarvis, often, tried to soften the blow of Howard’s words an actions. But don’t think for a second that Tony didn’t internalise all of that. That he didn’t think that Howard Stark was the man he was supposed to be, and the man he wanted to be most like. 

Of course, generally speaking — when Tony is the most like Howard — like at the Stark Expo, or during the senate hearings — it’s almost 100% preformative. That’s not who he is, or who he ever was, it’s who he thinks people want him to be, because it’s who his father wanted him to be.

I would go so far as to say that a lot of Tony’s womanizing ways, his alcoholism, his struggles with self-identity and importance all stem from the fact that he is often torn between being the man that he assumed his father wanted to be, and who he actually is.  

If you look at Tony when he’s alone, or when he’s with the people he cares about the most, what you see is the caring, compassionate person who Jarvis raised, and that he is a lot more capable and a lot more loving than his father ever was. And it took him a long time to be okay with that, and with showing other people that that was who he really was

So yes… Just a reminder, Jarvis helped raised this man:

  Don’t confuse the armour….

with the man who wears it.

THANK YOU.

always reblog the best takedown ever.

I know I reblogged this before, but it deserves ANOTHER reblog.

THANK YOU FOR THIS POIGNANT EXPLANATION OF TONY STARK’S CHARACTERIZATION!!!! 

FUCK! YEAH! FUCK! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!!!!!

YES YES YES

@reioka I feel like this is something you should see.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Don’t confuse the armour with the man you wears it

I’m sorry I haz to reblog everytime I see it.

@themcuhasruinedme

Best part of this is the gifs that they showed for the ultimate take down. “The armor” was shown as Tony, giving a speech in front of people. “And the man who wears it.” That was Tony in his armor, but not, showing who he really is.

@itsallavengers I think you’re gonna wanna see this.

Really? People just love to hate Tony – why?
Here’s the thing – Tony doesn’t have to step in the suit. He doesn’t have to sacrifice his life. Tony really doesn’t have to take all the BS that gets shoved at him by the press, so called teammates or average Joe. Tony could have done like other billionaires and said oh well, not my problem. Why should I care?
But Tony does care. Yeah, he screws up from time to time. That makes him human. Guess who else screws up from time to time – everyone else in the Avengers.

get REKT antis

also Jarvis was so fucking precious in Agent Carter hhhhhh
