My mission, which I have clearly accepted already like a retard: take a two hour movie on how awesome Tony Stark is, and turn it into a three minute, forty second vid about his emo sadpants lonely.

Vid must also set to pansy-ass falsetto indie.

...

Which is not to say, for those Hornblower folk that got past the words "Tony Stark", that I'm ditching HH fandom. I wasn't kidding when I said that Hornblower fandom and I moved in together and that I got rid of my treasured kidney-shaped couch for him. Our little aquarium with Horatio and William Bush is doing OK, and we're still living together in the condo. It's just that with the warm weather, I'm having some long, boozy evenings out with Iron Man.

By analogy, Star Wars is the aggressive outdoor kitty I put food out for and try to cuddle every once in a while, but prolonged exposure makes me want to claw my skin off from hives.

TONY STARK. MAKING BLACKSMITHING LOOK EVEN HOTTER. WHERE DID YOU LEARN OLD-SCHOOL BLACKSMITHING, TONY? CLEARLY, I MUST WRITE FIC ABOUT THIS.

I've actually got a not-shitty-for-a-cam version. Sure, you can't actually see anything when the sun isn't blazing overhead, and the footage is curiously blue-shifted at points, and once in a while, some bitch up ahead gets up, but uh. Not completely shitty? It's the Dragon25 version, and I can throw it up if you want it.

Oooh! I think that's the version I have too! It isn't all that bad, I'm just scared of compression, 'cause it bit my ass the first time around (ALSO I'VE ONLY DONE, LIKE ONE? EVER? I had delusions of grandeur while coming out of the theater. I blame the delicious slurpee.)

CLEARLY. I love that Tony's solution to getting out alive is to build a gigantic suit with flamethrowers, because just building a gigantic gun to shoot your way out would have been...pedantic? Oh, Tones.

Or, you know. A signal beacon that the US would have picked up, followed by some nifty little bomb that would have welded the doors shut until help came. Or, alternatively, body armor for him and the littel buddy. As you put it, oh, Tones.

(Though there's an AU in that -- Tony comes back with his friend from the mountain! I wonder how the story would have been different then.)

Yeah, compression whupped my ass the first two times, so I've just given up and started using EasyXviD. There was a period of fiddling and OH MY GOD WHY IS IT CUTTING OFF THE BOTTOM HALF OF MY PICTURE? But now I can get my vid files under 50MB, which is fantastic, and now, my problem is figuring out WTF to do with the next two minutes of the vid. Two hour movie! You would think that I could figure out how to vid more than 1:40 of it.

popping by to say, I... would probably actually write that fic? my sister dated a blacksmith for like a year, after meeting him in a class he was teaching. and I kind of want to pepper my MIT-alum roommate with questions about gadgetry, and my sister re: blacksmithing, and write some sort of Tony's-final-project-in-college thing.

but for now, okay, seriously, that first pic there hits pretty much every single one of my Things. HOT.

Okay, seriously, I think you should write it. I'm just absolutely, absolutely fascinated by high-tech Tony getting in an old-fashioned blacksmith shop, but I totally lack knowledge about what it's like or how the sensory experience, and you know Tony would be into the sensory experience.

Man.
