Ask A Man of Iron

askthebetterhalfofstark asked: Oh, you are so sleeping on the couch tonight.

What, you mean the Sleeper Sofa? That’s not so bad. Will you be joining me?

Oh sure, I’ll catch hell for this…but I find myself compelled to reblog it anyway.

This one’s for you, Natasha. Your country is great. :)

little-frenzy-deactivated201302 asked: What made you want to continue Stark Industries?

Uh, okay, I actually had to sleep on this one before I could get the answer straight.

I’m assuming that what you mean is what made me want to continue Stark industries after I safely returned to America with shrapnel in my heart? I’ll just roll with that assumption, if you don’t mind.

Let’s see, first of all, shutting down Stark Industries is just about as close to impossible as you can get. I mean unless we go bankrupt, but I think the fact that we haven’t, even after having shut down our weapons manufacturing branch, goes a long way in showing how possible that is…right. My point is, my father built this company from the ground up, and I’ll be damned if I ever see it fall.

I’ll also be damned if I ever see it fall into the wrong hands. When I was being held captive in Afghanistan, I saw that all my life’s work had been put to use destroying and killing. I watched young men and women die. And I realized that I was creating a legacy for my father that was filled with death and pain. Not to mention, contributing to a system that held no one and nothing responsible for that pain.

What I’m trying to say is that not continuing Stark Industries would have been the most irresponsible thing I could possibly have done. What I’ve got going on now? Well, it’s ten steps in the right direction, if you ask me. Clean energy and defense systems over weapons, any day.

askthebetterhalfofstark asked: Tony you're just digging yourself further and further into that hole...

Wait, what? I’m not understanding why this gets me in trouble but setting Dr. Banner’s alarm to go off at 5:34 AM is “funny” and “cute”…

asktheotherspider asked: Tony how the fuck did you get a woman like that to put up with you?

Why do you ask? Are you interested? I’m a lot better at sharing than I seem to be, I promise. :)

tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?

This is actually a really great question, and a difficult one, at that.

Let’s see, favorite inanimate object…I probably have a lot. Any kind of power tool is a beautiful kind of power tool. Especially the monkey wrench. Try it some time, you’ll love it, Mr. Tumblrbot.

Do holograms count as objects? Or inanimate for that matter?

Oh, and helping Pepper slip out of her clothes puts those clothes on this list, too.

askthebetterhalfofstark asked: You'd better not be doing anything with Natasha and vodka, Tony...

What Natasha and vodka do in their spare time is not my business. See? I’m learning about personal boundaries, just like you said I should be.

ask-the-gamma-avenger asked: I swear that if this "research" is more pictures of you photoshopped into pictures with porn stars, I'm not responsible for Stark Towers getting leveled for the second time this month.

Is Natasha spreading nasty rumors about me again? Because none of those pictures were photoshopped. None.

asktheotherspider asked: Go fuck yourself, Tony

I don’t need to. I just have to put you and a bottle of Russo-Baltique in the same room and wait an hour and that problem will be solved.
