like nervous rambling girlfriends who try to ask each other out at the same time, start back pedaling, and then somehow realize the other just asked them out and blurt out ‘yes’. Ezri encouraging Tal to be more confident in her work and Tal listening as Ezri sorts out her life stories and own personality and just in general being happy as the other grows more comfortable in their own abilities.
Literal text (notice the naked man in Tony’s bed):
Amale (!) villain insinuating Tony can’t resist him (because of his “playboy” reputation, which is a big “hmm”):
This speaks for itself:
Tony waxes poetic about Steve’s attractiveness:
Actually Tony calls Steve handsome a lot; it’s kind of a thing:
Oh and that time Namor called out Tony for sleeping with Madame Masque (after Tony said she looked like Doctor Doom) and Tony trying to swerve the convo:
That time the media was openly suspecting Tony Stark was HIV positive (this is from a comic in 1992 when AIDs was still thought of as a disease that primarily afflicted gay/bisexual men):
… Just saying, the subtext (and even the text) has been there for a long-ass time. Tony’s dating profile being set to woman andmen was just more evidence on top of the pile.
Tony is so obviously bi, T'Challa knew.
Even the evilness of Victor Von Doom isn’t enough to keep tony from acknowledging how handsome he is.
More of Tony swooning over Doom (added by @i-gotta-go-good-day-bitch in the replies but i wanted to keep the ones above too).
Also added by @i-gotta-go-good-day-bitch, implications Tony and Rhodey were/are more than friends:
And I forgot to add this classic. A gutter note during the development of Iron Man vol 3 implied Tiberius and Tony had slept together (given their relationship was very much portrayed like them having been exes, this isn’t a shocker). (Link to @whatjanesays‘s blog who originally posted these images)
“better roll” meaning “roll around the hay” (so saying sexual partner). The “Ru” here is talking about Rumiko Fujikawa (who, while broken up with Tony, slept with Tiberius).
