Reblog if you’re a Marvel Roleplayer!
I am making a master-list and definitely need new pals to rp with.

Hey guys. I’m really, really sorry that I have not been around. I promise I’m not just making excuses, even if it feels that way. There has been a lot going on, and I’m actually leaving the country today for the month of May. I promise I will be back in June. And I promise to have responses to everyone when I am back.
I love you all.

I want to apologize for my recent absence. I’ve been having a lot of computer trouble. As in it keeps crashing, so I’ve been unable to do much work, let alone anything for fun. It’s fixed (for now), so I’m going to try to get back in the game, so to speak.
Just wanted to let you all know :)
He grinned when he noticed that tiny twitch. He always loved to crack the hard ones. “Maria…” He leaned closer, lowering his voice to a conspiratorial level. “If you’re having fun at one of my parties—which, I might add, it’s impossible not to—you’ll be doing a lot more than just smiling.”
She didn’t roll her eyes, but oh yes, this was too easy. He was so sure of himself. ”Yet here I am, at one of your parties, and just doing my job. It must be my superpower, that level of responsibility and self-control.”
He rolled his eyes and pointed a finger at her. “Or you’re just being a dullard. You’re not ‘at’ the party. You’re outside it. Loosen up.” He leaned on the bar and called the bartender over. “What’ll you have, Maria?”
-She raised an eyebrow and allowed a slight twitch of her lips to show through. She really shouldn’t bait him, or play along, but she also shouldn’t have been sent on this detail and had paperwork to finish. No harm in freaking the mundanes every now and then. Not that Tony Stark would ever be mundane.
“I am familiar with the concept, yes. I do enjoy a good thought exercise every now and then, to see how an experiment of me having ‘fun’ would go. So far I have yet to get past the ‘learn to smile’ portion of the test. I might be having fun now, but there’s no observable indicators. Is it still fun?”
He grinned when he noticed that tiny twitch. He always loved to crack the hard ones. “Maria…” He leaned closer, lowering his voice to a conspiratorial level. “If you’re having fun at one of my parties—which, I might add, it’s impossible not to—you’ll be doing a lot more than just smiling.”
So SHIELD says that they don’t want to play with you, because you are effed up? Burn. Watch this scene and note how confident he is that they will be all over him for his help, and then how that completely dissolves into an air of So What?? I already told you I didn’t want to join your super secret boy band. Just slap that nonchalance-bandaid on there, Tony.
They offer to make him a consultant, but ego won’t allow him to just automatically accept their lesser offer after they’ve told him he doesn’t meet their standards. ”You can’t afford me.” Smug smirk. And then in the space of two heartbeats, he offers himself to them for free if they will help him troll one of his political adversaries. Not destroy, not discredit, or muss up his public image a little. Just annoy the hell out of him, in exchange for Tony letting them use his advice for free.
I spend too much time wondering just how good Fury actually is. Too good, probably.
Because really:
Show the man who has everything (except for interest in your cause) that you need his help, and he swats you off like a fly repeatedly. Show that same man, the man with the secret, but massive inferiority complex that you have inspected him and found him lacking despite his “perfection”… well then you’ve got yourself a genius, expert consultant, and a free one at that.
…It was a charity case.
