#they meet each other and fall into a torrid life of romance and illegal shenanigans #but then natasha has to tell selina that she’s joined shield and they can’t see each other again #so selina attacks shield out of beautiful righteous spite #so when she spots her natasha just can’t let her go at first so she brings her in for questioning #only to let her go and be disgusted with herself for it
I actually loved this moment, because I didn’t see this as Steve being incompetent and completely unaware of what was going on. This, I felt, was Steve being extremely sassy. “It seems to run on some form of electricity,” he says, with a huff of a sigh and a smile. What he means is, “Of fucking course I don’t know what this shit means, I’ve never been exposed to this, are you serious right now” and that is not because he’s stupid or inept. Actually, Steve adapts very, very well and very quickly to new technology, evidenced in the Avengers with the ease and familiarity that he navigates his tablet with, but also in Captain America, where he takes everything Howard gives him (modified, highly advanced Hydra weapons) and uses them to full capacity.
It’s just that Steve’s never seen the inside of a control panel like this, so there’s no way in hell he’d know what to do with it, and he’s pointing that out to Tony with his dry sense of humor. And I think Tony gets it, because he doesn’t get angry or snark back at him; he returns with “Well, you’re not wrong” and a lopsided smile, which I read as his “duh, what was I thinking” moment.
I just have a lot of feelings about Steve and his sass and his dry sense of humor, and now I will crawl away to have feelings elsewhere.
NO DON’T CRAWL AWAY YOUR FEELINGS ARE AWESOME AND STEVE IS AWESOME AND NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE RESPECT THAT.
This is why Steve is my favourite.
Exactly. Steve’s got a sense of humor, it’s just super super dry and easily dismissed if you’re not looking for it.
domestic au! => When your husband is a secret assassin cum avenger and you’re his handler cum liaison between a group of superheroes and SHIELD, domestic responsibilities take on a different dimension altogether.
I think that a lot of the reason Jarvis has become so human is because Tony treats him like he’s human. Tony talks to Jarvis in a very colloquial way. He says “you up?” when he knows damn well that Jarvis is operational. He says “throw a little hot-rod red in there” instead of “paint components x, y, and z with red paint #20.” Tony treats all his machinery like that—Dummy and You, especially—and Jarvis is no exception.
Jarvis has become much more human since Iron Man 1. He actually displayed emotions in Iron Man 3—specifically when he feared for Tony’s life, his voice sounded terribly frightened, and in instances like the second gif where he said “I need to sleep” and not “My battery is depleted.” Jarvis has grown and changed, as any self-aware creature does. He has become human because he is treated as such.
And then came the day when Tony asked Jarvis what he always wanted to be, and told him he’d give him a day to be that thing.
Jarvis always wanted to be a ballerina
