Freedom Hangs Like Heaven.

Iron Man set to Iron and Wine.
20MB, XviD or play in VLC

I'm going to end up recutting this when the DVD comes up because right now, there's this CERTAIN SCENE where SOME FUCKING DOUCHEBAG decides to HANG HIS FUCKING HAND off the side of the CAMERA and then some other asshole walks across andf;lkjgdf. I couldn't figure out a way to cut around it, so that scene sucks. And there's one bit where Rhodey is a talking head, but I figured that I've wasted a week of my life already on this.

So yes. Iron Man and Iron and Wine with Calexico production. And just ignore the fact that they use the wrong reign/reins on that Forbes cover. XD

IN MY HEAD, SHE ENDS UP MARRYING HIM.

And they have adorable babies, the raising of which he fully participates as an enlightened modern man. And Uncle Tony drops by to play with he kids and have silent fits of emo about how this is the life he could have had (but not really), which he deals with by teaching the babies a list of really charming things they should say to Mommy and the girls in their class and their priest.

THAT WAS TOTALLY THE HUSBAND IN NUMBER EIGHT, RIGHT?

Because that's what I totally chose to believe when I was reading that, just so you know.

...which he deals with by teaching the babies a list of really charming things they should say to Mommy and the girls in their class and their priest.

God, Tony Stark will totally pull a Will from "About a Boy" wouldn't he? When Pepper tells Agent Coulson she wants him to be the godfather to their baby daughter, he'd probably freak out and be all "YOU KNOW HE'LL JUST TRY AND SLEEP WITH HER THE MOMENT SHE TURNS EIGHTEEN, RIGHT?" And Pepper would remind him that Tony Stark does have a soul, and besides, Jarvis would call her if he even so much as smirks in her general direction, so stop worrying.

Awww. We've reached the fluffy portion of our mutual madness. Finally.

[gabby-silang.livejournal.com]

Oh man yes.

Also, totally off topic, but speaking of fics, I just read that fucking hot thing that svillficrecs wrote about, like, Tony SUCKING PEPPER'S FEET and then them DOING IT HARDCORE and then TAKING AN EMOTIONALLY CHARGED SHOWER.

And I think I now have both a foot and a beard fetish. Jesus.

Um. But back to talking about Tony' mom. Yeah. Yeah, I bet she sucked. We should, ah, write shit about that. About how sucky she was. Maybe she was Obidiah. DUM DUM DUMMMM.

Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.

[quigonejinn.livejournal.com]

Why, how did you guess that he was exactly the husband in no. 8 of that fic? :D :D :D

Jarvis would call her if he even so much as smirks in her general direction, so stop worrying.

YEAH, PEPPER KNOWS HOW DANGERUOS THOSE SMIRKS ARE.

Also, I wouldn't put it past Pepper to insert some kind of subroutine/extra equipment mod Jarvis that would deliver an electrical shock to Tony each time he let his eyes wander south of her chin.

Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.

[quigonejinn.livejournal.com]

MPREG is probably the one thing we haven't discussed in this thread. I mean, really.

(Tony, for the record, would be so hilarious pregnant. Dear God.)

AHAHAHA. YES. YES. SHE WOULD.

And Jarvis would be all miffed as she tooled around with his subroutines, explaining petulantly that she only had to ask.

Oh, man, I kind of want Pepper/Jarvis now. Dammit.

Can I link to this in my next YDIMS post? Because GOD THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN.

I just read that fucking hot thing that svillficrecs wrote about, like, Tony SUCKING PEPPER'S FEET and then them DOING IT HARDCORE and then TAKING AN EMOTIONALLY CHARGED SHOWER.

GOD I KNOW. Also, the whole first part in the limo, holy moly, I wanted Limo!Banging fic (with Happy listening in of course, because he's Happy. And he's EVERYWHERE) so badly after that, it was a little embarrassing.

Their whole confrontation in the workshop, with Tony wanting to talk about his FEELINGS and Pepper being all DO NOT WANT was a delicious switch from the usual.

(speaking of Happy, him chilling outside the Arc Reactor warehouse smoking a cigarette against the car was...kind of hot? Oh, Favreau. One day I'll learn to spell your name w/o googling it, but you are kinda dreamy in your little hair piece and suit.)

Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.

[quigonejinn.livejournal.com]

AHAH. You are more than welcome to link to this crack-faced craziness.

Although now I'm deeply embarrassed by me and and my dropped words and inexplicable typos. I SWEAR, I have them only because at any moment, I expect the Internet Police to walk into my office at any moment and say, "Look, we know what you've been looking at. You have five minutes to collect your belongings while Rosa Klebb watches menacingly from the door."

Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.

[quigonejinn.livejournal.com]

Oh, kiddos. The conversatino is getting a little racy, so I'm going to bow out of this conversation until I go home in a couple hours. I need to get some work done before, like, midnight.

Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.

[gabby-silang.livejournal.com]

AAAHAHA he would issue a List of Demands. "Part I: Food, Part II: Drink, Part III: Slimming Shirts and Comfortable Footwear, Part IV: Video Games".

And when he got bigger he'd rub his belly like something erotic and leer at everybody.

Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.

[dafnap.livejournal.com]

Totally agreed. Good luck with finishing up. I'm going to clean up my steamed up glasses and try the same.

Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.

[gabby-silang.livejournal.com]

Jesus Mary and Joseph I was making such noises. I, too, wanted it RIGHT THERE and I still kinda do. For some reason I thought there was really SOME REASON that there hasn't been more nc-17 stuff so far? But clearly there is no excuse because damn.

And OMG YES TONYYYY the whole thing and the feet thing and I can utterly see it happening just like that with the footrubs and then with Rhodey in the plane I just cringed when Tony started doing the foot thing because DUH HELLO TONY and it's like he was pushing the subject but didn't know how to do it without making everyone totally uncomfortable.

And, wow, his MOUTH. I am fixated. His fucking MOUTH.

I should really be leaving all this as a comment over there. Oh well.

(HEEEE FAVREAU'S HAIRPIECE. I love knowing that more than nearly any trivia ever.)

Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.

[gabby-silang.livejournal.com]

And I, in a sane timezone, will take a shower. I can't decide if it'll be hot or cold.

Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.

[amonitrate.livejournal.com]

I'm totally stepping into your conversation, linked here from your journal, just to say:

I really think that's what sets Iron Man apart from most other superhero movies aside from X-Men, the characters feel like they have actual interiority.

exactly. Yes!

Re: second time through = golden. i'm thinking about going time #3.

[amonitrate.livejournal.com]

interrupting again, because you crack me up.

BB just sat there, being way too serious for a story about a dude that immediately jumps to cosplay to solve his inner angst.

word.

[amonitrate.livejournal.com]

Here via dafnap, as I said, and your vid was very insightful. Lovely work, and I loved the song choice. It'll be downright stunning using DVD footage, even if it would be annoying to recut..

[quigonejinn.livejournal.com]

Ahah. Yeah, recutting is going to make me want to gnaw my fucking arm off, but it might be worth it. The halo around some of the scenes has grown on me, but maybe that's just my total dread of trying to find the exact goddamn frame, etc, etc. .

Anyways, thanks for watching it. And you are more than welcome to jump into the convo up above. It's more on temporary hold, I suspect, than actually ended.

the tony stark pregnancy rider.

[quigonejinn.livejournal.com]

Oh Jesus. Also, no drinking because of fear of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. And Tony loudly talking about how great pregnancy sex is. And.

Would they have to build a pouch in the suit? For the bump.

I hate you. So much. The janitors think I'm crazy.

(now we totally know who designed Cable's bitchin' babeh carrier.)

Re: the tony stark pregnancy rider.

[quigonejinn.livejournal.com]

Maternity wear. For the expectant superhero. I'm crying with laughter over here.

"Jarvis, I'd like to see the Active Sporty Carrier in gold-titanium."

Okay, I just couldn't keep quiet. (I'm feeling like I've just found my people!) You don't know me, and you may not even want to friend me back (because seriously, if ya'll can have this kind of freaking awesome discourse about IM, you all must be on my flist), but I just have to dip in and speak because I ... I can't stop myself.

Maybe Tony was groomed from the start to be the dimwitted face of Stark Industries

Oh, I think definitely this. I think Obediah quickly, deftly, and purposefully stepped into Dad's shoes. Of course he provided love and comfort to the grieving son ... but he also started providing everything needed to induce/feed any and all addictive tendencies in an emotionally-damaged, immature young man (booze, sex, gambling, you-name-it). Because what better way to control Tony? What better way to prevent him from ever actually maturing ... keeping him the "boy genius" who was satisfied with playing with his "toys": the engineering feats that made SI shareholders rich and the addictions that kept him in line.

And it worked. Until Afghanistan. Until Tony, in his mid-30's, did in 3 months what should have happened at a younger age over a longer period of time ... he "matured". He came back a changed man (though still and even more so messed up) ... to an unchanged world. He unwittingly fell into old habits (the whole sinking gratefully into Obie's care and embrace before the press conference) but expecting something different, something that fit his new "reality".

The first real kick was Rhodey's rejection in the hangar. Totally blind-sided Tony. Like a kid who's best friend had been happily playing with him one minute and then slapped him, made fun of him, and kicked him out of the treehouse the next. Serious ow.

And then he actually "saw" Pepper for the first time. Fell into his old habits of stalk-and-acquire. But his old habits didn't sit right with his new self, though he didn't consciously realize it. I loved the scene on the balcony where Pepper succumbs to his unholy magnetism and leans in for the kiss, but he's the one who stands there like a deer in the headlights, not jumping on the opportunity (like normal). Then gratefully running away to get drinks while trying, on some level, to process what in the hell had just happened ... and then the photos. Getting ripped from his confusing "new" world to be thrown with PTSD-intensity back into captivity/survival world.

Finally, he puts two and two together, which intensifies the conflict and confusion in his head and tosses in an increasing dose of pain. And then Obie tells him the truth. With a no-longer-caring "embrace" ... in a mean, ugly voice ... and with eyes that no longer try to hide his true feelings for this stupid child-in-a-man's-body who had always been a nuisance and had now actually messed with Obediah's world. "Bled out" is such an accurate description of Tony's shock.

Can I just say now that when Obie called him "a little prick" later, my heart hurt a lot. I can imagine that some part of Tony probably didn't care if the blast from the reactor killed him (Tony).

[sighs heavily] Thank you for letting me join, if only for a moment.

[besyd.livejournal.com]

Awesome vid. Even with the problems you described. Awesome. (Which means the final, DVD cut will rock beyond.)

[plasticity.livejournal.com]

I GO AWAY FOR ONE WEEKEND AND I MISS ALL THE GOOD STUFF. I can't even watch the vid yet due to, um, worky things, but I already KNOW it's kickass. Iron and Wine!!

on the up side to missing the party, I feel like you guys, like, got at least up to #83 on the List of Things That Need Ficcing. Way to go!

[quigonejinn.livejournal.com]

I WAS HAVING TERRIBLE THOUGHTS THAT YOU STOPPED LOVING IRON MAN. I WAS POSITIVELY VERKLEMPT.

And then I realized that you were off having the most incredible time at a totally awesome music festival. *cheers*

Iron Man fandom: this is the party that never ends.

[plasticity.livejournal.com]

haha, no, the kickass music festival is the weekend after next. giving me approximately ten whole days to fangirl-squee to my hearts' content!

I, uh, may have plotted out a tony-and-rhodey-at-mit fic while gone. and written four different attempts at tony/pepper post-sex dialogue, nothing of which either of them would actually say. will kick off the training wheels one of these days for sure.
