Tony sings to Steve on a regular basis. Steve may or may not enjoy it / join in some nights.
Steve protects his damsel in distress.
Tony getting extremely angry when Steve gets killed
Then depression settles in as he grieves over his lost love
Steve’s death triggers him building weapons again, something he said he’d never do again.
After Steve was killed and he couldn’t prevent it, or considers himself too late to, he would sacrifice himself and die if it means taking down the people who shot his sheriff. So he would gladly die to take these guys down and avenge his husband Steve.
Trust me, Tony is out there alive somewhere, and he’s playing cowboy.
I love this SO FCKING much.
Honestly this just shows the unwavering love and trust that exists in this friendship. Rhodey is one of the few people that a)does not underestimate Tony and b) wholeheartedly loves and supports him. Just like with Afghanistan, Rhodey does not for one second believe ANYONE can outsmart or outmaneuver Tony. He isn’t actually worried his friend might actually be dead.
He is going after the mandarin because that’s the right thing to do, because that’s what Tony would have done too if he wouldn’t have decided to go MIA for a little bit.
It’s just extraordinary to see that confidence that Rhodey has in his friend’s abilities, his resilience and his mind.
