The Honorable Mr. Tony Stark: A Eulogy.

OUR hero saved the universe. Ol' Shell Head. The man in a can.

Tony selflessly did what others could not. What others were never meant to do.
Not just at the end, but ALWAYS. He was always willing to give everything to protect his true love, his friends, his family, the world, and ultimately, the Universe. Pepper truly can and should be proud of the man her husband became. Fiercely proud. And so should Morgan, too. Her daddy loved her very much to do what he did for her. Even more than 3000, if you ask me.

Tony is the king, and Pepper the queen of the MCU. It's official. No one can ever top them. And they now belong to us, to love and to hold dear in our hearts and minds. FOREVER. Rest assured, we picked the right team.

It hurts so much to have lost our friend like this. This is undeniable. But just because he's gone doesn't mean our love and loyalty has to end. We can continue to honor this character, and this fandom, by keeping the memories we have of it from over the years alive. By allowing our enjoyment of it to evolve from "Can't wait to see what's next" to appreciating how it so profoundly changed our lives. Because it did. These characters became a part of us. So it's time to honor, and to savor, what we now have to hold on to. That's why I'm going to continue to write for them. And to play in their world to my heart's content. Because OUR hero, the man in a can, the honorable Mr. Tony Stark, saved the universe. And I, for one, am PROUD to be his fan.

Thank you, Tony. We love you 3000. And one.
