Tony and his bots!!! But the oil in smoothie thing sparked an idea for me. Tony bring practically impervious to pranks by the team bc of his bots. Clint can't just drop hot sauce in Tony's coffee bc not only do the boys do that so often that he just fuckkn drinks it but he's gotten worse from them as well. 1/2
2/2 Nat has to put some more effort into just jumping tony to scare him bc he’s always dodging swinging arms and fire extinguishers. Loud noises and tripping him don’t work easy bc of the state of his workshop. I do stand by the fact that Jarvis can make a fool out of him with anything tho
I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!
The point is JARVIS doesn’t want to. Especially not in the beginning, where the Avengers are still strangers, still can’t be trusted with Sir’s well-being. He doesn’t give anyone ammunition lightly, and after Stane and Fury have both managed to disable him, well. JARVIS may not remember those incidents but it’s not like he forgets they happened.
So fairly soon the Avengers are convinced Tony is immune to pranks. It’s almost terrifying how easily he avoids them. Especially when you consider that word class spies and enhanced humans are at work here and Stark never even got any formal training.
(They don’t realise that JARVIS considers their pranks a threat to Tony and either disables them or informs Sir until Tony specifically tells him it’s fine. Even then potential triggers and threats to Sir’s health are still blacklisted by JARVIS. The AI takes his creator’s safety very serious. One of them has to after all)
And even after JARVIS eventually eases up on his safety protocols, it’s still no fun to prank Tony (as Clint will whine constantly. For, well, who am I kidding, the rest of their lives. Or however long it takes for Natasha to snap and kill him.) The worst part isn’t that Tony doesn’t fall victim to the occasional trap, it’s that he doesn’t even notice he’s being pranked.
Thanks to his bots’ antics, he’s used to weird tasting food and drinks (JARVIS will warn him if it’s poisonous), stumbling over odd things in his way, being drenched in questionable liquids, and so on.
Long story short, Tony doesn’t understand why but for some reason Barton holds a very strong grudge against his bots?
(DUM-E and BUTTERFINGERS eventually launch a prank war against Clint. U seeks cover in the workshop. The rest of the tower lies in figurative ashes after three days. There are many causalities, up and including Natasha’s favourite pair of shoes (they’ve got blades hidden inside the heels), Steve’s least hated suit, Bruce’s entire lab (that was an accident), the Hulk’s favourite blanket (that one wasn’t an accident but is greatly regretted by everyone) and Thor’s entire wardrobe (the clothes he was wearing at the time very much included). Oh, and Clint.
Tony doesn’t even notice.
(Except that one time Steve had bright blue hair for a week, but that gave him an idea for a new camouflage suit and well, nobody has seen the genius in question since.)
JARVIS takes up the job of scolding DUM-E and BUTTERFINGERS for starting the war. He then promptly launches a counter-attack on their behalf.)

Happy birthday, Robert Downey Jr! We know how much you like Pepper, so we had this made in your honor. But be careful in high winds, so you don’t end up like certain Avengers we know… (Too soon? Maybe. But you don’t have to be salty about it!)
Hello, I was wondering if you could suggest some podcasts? I am new to the podcast fandom and have already fell into Wtnv and serial podcasts. Thank you in advance.
Oh heck yeah!!!! Welcome to podcast hell. Though I haven’t listened to Serial (i listen to more backwater-indie but still good), WTNV is an old favorite. For some goodies, but more of a mixed bag here are the top ones you’ll see people post about (*=gayness):
*Wolf 359- A Space Opera on the USS Hephaestus. Wacky hijinks ensue for the first couple episodes and then you’re crying and everything’s a mess. But to be honest, this is really good. This turned my light hobby of listening to podcasts post-2016ish to binging it. I love the characters, they’re very complex. Its storyline is always easy to follow, which is a plus (there are some I still don’t know what’s happening). (Status: Ended but sometimes there are surprises in your feed) (Also the creators made Time Bombs which is a three ep series about a bomb squad and very good)
***The Bright Sessions- Therapy for people with superpowers. It’s a lighter podcast in that it’s not guns in space- but it gets deep. It’s very sweet and it has so many characters that you’ll love- and some that you’ll want to punch in the face and they don’t get redemption arcs which is great. It’s a good podcast. (Status: Ended but a ton of bonus content is being released for years to come with a TV show)
*****The Penumbra Podcast- This is not a single story podcast, but still good. The main story is Juno Steel and it’s about a Private Eye on Mars. It’s got drama, love, pain, friendship, and something special. The main love interest is also freaking amazing. The Second Citadel is the other one about a fantasy-age kingdom of monsters and humans at war. It gets…. well steamy. Not really but the tension between some characters is palpable. It’s good. (Status: Finished its second season but their working on their third season)
***King Falls AM- Okay, I’ve got to state this IS my favorite podcast. It’s got the whole “radio station in a small town” idea from WTNV, but it’s so fleshed out. The main characters you constantly meet and it doesn’t have the isolated feel like WTNV. It also isn’t surreal. But it deals with some heavy issues like depression and grieving but also has lighter episodes. I have to say I think it most definitely gets better later on. I freaking love this podcast and I wake every first and fifteenth at 3 am for my fix. (Status: Just got out of hiatus and is going strong).
***EOS 10- Another space comedy, except it is like Grey’s Anatomy in space. I mean I’ve never watched Grey’s Anatomy, but it’s got doctors so it’s kind of the same??? It’s funny but like I said- it gets darker. I’m sorry, it just does. Another really good one. (Status: Is currently releasing season 4, and released season 3 after like a 3-year long hiatus)
**The Magnus Archives- A horror podcast but good. I mean I love horror podcasts- but this made get some tingles down my spine. It’s told though a file system but all connects later on. Very good and I really enjoy this one. Though it is very long, so I warn you to get comfy. (Status: Season 4 and is going strong).
***The Adventure Zone- NOT AN AUDIO DRAMA, but fuck is it good. I’m usually an audio drama snob but I made an exception and it’s great. It starts off with there brothers and their dad goofing off while playing DnD and it’s very funny. It never loses this, but as time goes on the story is told and it’s so freaking beautiful. Made me basically cry. I would recommend 10/10 but like TMA it is also v long. (Status: Finished Balance and is half-way through their Amnesty arc).
Podcasts I like but don’t want to explain too much because my hands are cold:
*****Inkwyrm !!!! (The Devil Wears Prada in space and gay. I like this one so much asdhkjsad)
*****Dreamboy (WTNV but gayer and R-Rated)
Amelia Project (Some British guys fake your death)
*Darkest Night (Lots of people get killed)
Uncanny County (Weird shit happens in a county… that’s it)
We Fix Space Junk (Capitalism is bad in space)
SAYER (Capitalism but in space and with an AI)
*Kakos Industries (Do Evil Better, R-rated)
***The Strange Case of Starship Iris (Gay Space Pirates)
I hope this helped. If you don’t like any or are looking for something else don’t be afraid to say so!! Or if you need more. This might have lasted me a month or two hahaha. :))))
