do u think tony is ever… glad that stane tried to kill him? because if he hadn’t, it might’ve taken him a lot longer to find out that his weapons were being sold to terrorists, he never would’ve became iron man, he never would’ve met yinsen and he would still be naive and ignorant and trusting

do you think, despite everything, tony’s grateful that stane was in his life, because he can say, with absolute certainty, that he would not be the person he is today with out him?

ok wow please don’t this is rude could you NOT because now I have to think about the funeral and I didn’t want to do that I realize that now i think we can both understand you made a mistake and won’t do it again pls thanks this is hurtful

Listen. There had to be a funeral, and tony would’ve been expected to speak at it. Tony would’ve spoken at it, because i am fucking convinced that no one knew what stane did. Like, ok, maybe there was something in the news about how people at SI (not tony, tony was investigated and cleared) were selling under the table, because honestly, i think as soon as that whole mess was over he would’ve got whoever he could to audit the fuck out of his company to make sure that everything’s on the up-and-up, but I don’t think stane was revealed as the orchestrator of his kidnapping or being the iron monger, because it’s not like anyone can send him for jail for that.

So tony would’ve been expected to stand up in front of hundreds of people he barely knows and lie through his teeth about what a great man and mentor stane was, still bruised and battered and hurting from when he tried to kill him, speak and pretend (or, would it be pretending, because tony genuinely cared about stane, and it’s hard divorce the man who helped him, who taught him so many things, to the murderer and liar that he fought and had to kill) to grieve. 

And maybe, at the end, he throws his cards down agian. Maybe, maybe at the end, he speaks at least some of the truth. 

Obadiah Stane is the reason i am iron man.

Obadiah Stane is the reason I saw what was corrupt in my company.

Obidiah Stane is the reason that today, I’m making things better.

Maybe, at the end, he tosses a red-edged marigold into the empty grave. 

Maybe, nothing he said was completely a lie.
