CR TEAL DEER MEME





How to play? Reply to this post with the characters you play, people will then reply to you asking 'What does X think of my character Y?' then zoom around and ping other people in the same manner to generate some CR chatter! This is a good way to see where your current CR stands and what your characters secretly think of each other.

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND OH MY HEART.

Tony is a prime candidate for taking their friendship for granted, in a sense. He pushed so much in the beginning because this is their future. It makes sense. IT WORKS IN HIS HEAD. At the same time, he really does feel a connection to Bruce. He really does feel like they are counterparts on the team. Not only that, but neither of them are team players -- yet they are when they are Avengers.

Having Bruce around has been very different for Tony, because here is someone that has the mental capacity to keep him engaged. Bruce specialises in different fields without a doubt, but they can talk complex scientific concepts without losing each other. It's like having an imaginary friend that's not imaginary.

And he'll just keep doing things for him. TONY DOES THIS. This is what one does with friends, right? Give them things? Show up at their place and invade?

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL EVEN THE EMPEROR THINKS SO.

Yesss yes invade all the time. Give him things. This is one of the things about their dynamic that works so well for them that I have a hard time finding with other characters sometimes. Bruce is really good at putting people off, keeping them at arm's length, and making them buy into his sulky moping. Tony doesn't buy any of it and it's hilarious. And amazing because Bruce needs to be pushed out of his comfort zone and hardly anyone that knows his situation is willing to do that. LOL

It's actually kind of awesome that they specialize in different fields because it means that they approach things really differently. It's valuable scientifically okok.

I think another thing that works re: not being team players is that they... aren't... so they don't take each other's cooperation for granted. That would sort of grate on both of them, I think.

These are all beautiful thoughts and I fully endorse them.

I love the fact that they are not team players, yet manage to work together so well without the rhetoric of TEAM AVENGERS SAVES THE DAY. Tony also relies on him and that is SO WEIRD in his books. But it works.
