Fictional enablers r us.

[amanuensis1]

I feel like I need to put some kind of disclaimer somewhere, because I've discovered it's way, way too much fun to write Tony Stark on a drunken bender, since it collapses the few filters the character has. This makes me ashamed in a way that even writing tortureporn didn't equal, because even the comics eventually decided Iron Man needed an intervention. So here, I'm saying it in this post, PSA: Alcoholism is a disease, kiddies. Drunk!Tony's only fun 'cos he's fictional.

(Inference to be had here: Tony POV fic coming from me soon.)

In today's edition of JR: PLR: this is hardly an unpopular picture, so you might very well have seen it, but I kind of need to have this somewhere I can get to it quick.

No, what you are is a JR enabler! That's definitely not a complaint ;-)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I regret nothing. (So far. ^_^ )

[shadoedseptmbr.livejournal.com]

I admit to requiring a moment after seeing this one. Yep.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this was the, "okay, if he'd looked like this in The Hurt Locker, I'd have fallen all the way back then" photo.

[bethbethbeth.livejournal.com]

That picture is beautiful...

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this is the, "dammit, don't make me write POETRY for this guy" photo. :D

[bethbethbeth.livejournal.com]

Have you seen this? *g*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, YEAH, I've stared at Mr. Sassy Hips in that one for a loooong time. He looks fiiiiiiine there. :D

[the_con_cept.livejournal.com]

He's soooooo pretty there!

Also, I AM WRITING DRUNK!TONY TOO, OMG! That's too funny! And yes, it's twice as long as any other scene in the fic, just because he's so much fun that way. Ahahhahah!

ISN'T IT KIND OF SHAMEFUL HOW DELIGHTFUL IT IS.

Okay, basset hound forehead wrinkles really shouldn't be sexy, but his totally are. *sits on them*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

He's got one of those "mature like a fine wine" faces, and since he looks naturally boyish the effect hardly even ages him. (RDJ's got the same thing. Omigod, those laugh lines around his eyes.)

[bunney.livejournal.com]

That picture is wonderful.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Every time I refresh this page, I can only agree. :D

[rexluscus.livejournal.com]

Oh my, that's pretty.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

My pulse agrees. ^_^

[inamac.livejournal.com]

I approve of your filing system :)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Noted. Will continue. :D

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

PREEEETTYYYYYY.. :D Yes, I've seen this picture before, but so what, it never gets old!

even the comics eventually decided Iron Man needed an intervention.

Yes, comics!Tony hasn't had a drink in a long time, after nearly destroying himself in the past. Then again, comics!Tony is not quite the same as movie!Tony in terms of characterisation, but also movie!Tony hasn't gone through everything that comics!Tony has. so there is that. In any case, I enjoy both versions of the character. But mostly, YAY that you're writing Tony fic! \o/

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Yes, comics!Tony's got quite the number of years of plotlines on movie!Tony, hasn't he. I actually was paying attention during The Avengers to Tony's actual drinking, to see if he'd reformed, but, no--Pepper pours him the champagne and he's on the verge of drinking it when he's interrupted, but the intention is there, and when Tony offers Loki a drink and makes himself one he actually does pick it up and sip at it. One could argue that the latter is distraction, but the champagne moment still tells me he's not in the recovering alcoholic stage yet--he's just in the alchoholic stage. WHY DO I THINK ABOUT THIS SO HARD.

[calypsolaninfa.livejournal.com]

You are awesome, Amanuensis. Hi Jeremy.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I say hi. Jeremy would say hi but he's too busy looking soulful, the gorgeous, evil, life-ruining man. :D

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

That is one FINE looking man. *fans self*

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Ow, there goes another ovary. :D

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Very much so. :D

[andinocara.livejournal.com]

OK, I think all my brain registered is that there will soon be more fic, and that it will feature drunk!Tony. At that point there was much squeeing and I don't think it works any more (the brain).

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Ah ha ha! *pets your brain* Yes, your brain is right. Soonish!

[lokifan]

GOD SO GORGEOUS.

And yes, entirely agreed on drunk!Tony. Vastly looking forward to this fic of yours and not remotely ashamed :) Although I do know what you mean re: those moments where you go 'wow I am enabling all over the place with this character.'

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Fic should be coming tomorrow morning, I think! :D I have enabled Tony shamelessly.
