thornsilver on Tony Stark

[conuly]

P.S. Also, let us be honest here. If Tony Stark became suicidal and tried to kill himself, he is not going to use pills. Something will explode.

Context has opinions on fanfic.

I suspect what he's most likely to do if he gets to that point is either fly the suit straight up until he runs out of air/heat/power, or, in continuities where that wasn't likely to work, drive a very fast car off a bridge or into the side of a mountain. Or at least go with a repulsor blast to the head, which iirc he has contemplated in the comics at least once.

Possibly *after* having taken enough of something to guarantee he'll die regardless, but yeah, I don't see him as the sort to just quietly take the poison. If he did go actively suicidal instead of his baseline of 'If Yinsen put it off until he could go out fighting, I can too', it would either be a) something impulsive while too drunk to plan ahead much or b) while doing something badass so he can go out on a high note.

....this has not been as funny as usual metaquates discussions, gotta say.
