*deep breath* Okay. Okay. Quick question regarding the MCU and my fic?
Um. Am I writing Tony weirdly? Or other characters interacting with him weirdly? Because ... I keep ending up trying to explain in the comments why certain characters end up taking actions that are not necessarily the actions Tony would prefer, or explaining why certain characters would be angry at Tony or choose to prioritise things other than him, and it seems that I'm doing something funky, that I'm portraying those characters as doing wrong? Seriously, this has happened about four or five times, where I end up having to explain the character's logic and reasons for those actions as I was imagining them in the story, trying to explain if not justify them (Clint in Report As From A Gun, Natasha in Two for Two and now In Honour's Palm, Rhodey a couple of times, Fury a couple of times). I just ... am I doing something weird? I know I write Tony a lot, I put a lot of emphasis on him as a character, am I maybe overdoing that?
Is this a reader thing or a writer thing, is what I'm asking. I know I write Tony a lot, but am I actually over-prioritising him within fics, bending other characters around him? Am I making the other characters around him look bad?
And I know I've sort of asked this before, after the Clint one, but I'm just ... it's happened a lot? I'm actually sort of worried.
