I’m glad you said organic because my first instinct was to be like “He would build himself one. Have you not met the bots?”
Also I love that you said “me and people who are wrong”. So clearly whether I agree with or contradict you, you are thinking in the true Tony Stark spirit and are to be commended. I mean for that alone I’m sure whatever you came up with was correct.
I feel like the only way Tony Stark acquires a pet is by accident, like, he would probably not seek one out. Or, well, he might, but he’d be like “I should get a cat. But a cat is not that interesting. Dogs are too needy. I should get something cool like, like a panther. What do panthers need in order to be happy? Shit, I can’t make a panther happy.” and it would just spiral from there into a mire of insecurity and anxiety.
So, given that it would be an accident, I don’t think we can say for sure what it would be. I think probably to stand any kind of chance of him bonding with it, it would have to be damaged somehow (emblematic of many aspects of Tony’s life) like missing a leg or with a broken wing or some kind of neediness that would hook into his neurotic overprotective streak and not allow him to give it to someone else to look after.
I think it would be really funny if he acquired an owl. An owl with a broken wing. Don’t ask how, he signed an NDA. And he built it a new bionic wing and one day Pepper’s all “What…what’s making that noise?” and Tony’s like “That’s Lovelace” and Pepper’s like “Did you bring a hooker in here” and Tony’s all “NO, LOVELACE IS DELIGHTFUL, don’t let her be mean to you, baby,” and then the owl pokes its head out of his hoodie and Pepper has a moment.
So yes that’s what I’m going with: Lovelace the demented cyborg owl.
Perfect post is perfect.
Okay I just laughed REALLY LOUD at work oh my god Lovelace’s face.
“better not be here to harm the human I will cut u”
Last month we shared a story about a territorial owl in Salem, OR who was dive-bombing unsuspecting park joggers passing through its turf. Today we’ve learned about another unusual owl who seeks out people, this time apparently as a sign of affection. Meet the “Cuddly Owl of Noordeinde,” a stunning eagle owl who’s lately been surprising villagers in the Dutch town of Noordeinde by gently landing on the heads of passersby.
The large and handsome owl is surprisingly careful to not use his talons when making these cranial landings. After alighting on someone’s head the owl simply perches there for a minute or so before flying off in search of a new landing spot.
Some Noordeinde residents suspect the owl may have escaped from an aviary in Oosterwolde, which might help explain his extraordinary tameness. Birders and photographers from around the country are flocking to the town (sorry, not sorry) to catch sight of this remarkable raptor.
“Whilst photographing the owl, it did try to land one my head once,” said Shaefer to NL Times. “However, as soon as I lifted my camera to get a shot, the owl flew onto my neighbor standing by my side.”
