#perfect example of how Rhodey talks to Tony #about tough shit #no tip-toeing around #no hand-holding and coddling #fuck that #we’re cracking jokes #and talking directly #and look at Tony #it’s EXACTLY WHAT HE NEEDS TO HEAR #respect #normalcy #being treated like himself #not handled like he’s fragile #do you know how fucking much he would hate that? #he would turn into the biggest asshole in the universe until that pity bullshit stopped #get away from him with that {x}
