yougavemeahome:#tony stark gave himself to the abyss because his body was the only weapon he had left to fight with #and that’s what gave him nightmares; he was not enough; the suit was not enough #he was faced with overwhelming force and had to fall back on mutually assured destruction #there was something out there the suit could not overcome; and tony was the suit so that meant #it was something tony could not overcome #and so he flung himself into the void; sacrificed himself because it was the only way #tony stark stared into the abyss knowing that he could not overcome it; so he gave himself to it #no wonder he could not come back from that #not when he’s spent his life driven by the need to encompass and implode every threat #not when being iron man; the entire point of being iron man; was to be the greatest physical power #to be the thing that protects and saves above all threats #to find something that overwhelms him by force to the point of utter desperation and self-sacrifice #the abyss ate him alive #he looked into it and could not encompass it; could not respond to it; could only explode it with himself at the heart #he would be happy to destroy himself for iron man but to have to destroy iron man? #that negates everything (okayophelia) -- source link
