#headcanon that when stark restarts shield#and brings nick back in#he sets up nick’s computer access so it follows his good eye#and whatever pops does so in front of him#wherever he’s looking#and also takes into account any depth perception issues due to only having the one eye#and tony just does it because he sort of makes for easier user access because he imagines no one else gets as much done as he does#he does the same thing for bruce’s computer access at the tower#doing research and eliminating triggers and flashing things from the interface#and generally subtly eliminating stress-inducing material#i just really like my headcanon that tony knows his friends have disabilities and works to accommodate them#and also sometimes he sends pepper in to give bruce a hug#because bruce needs hugs#and pepper is very good at them
^This. Tony Stark would be the world’s best advocate of universal design. He’d be a star in prosthetics (isn’t that what the armor is?). He’d write software to help people with aphasia find their words. He’d make screen readers actual workable technology.
Not because he feels sorry for us, not just because he identifies with us, but because it’s a problem that he can solve. And he can solve these things easily, and he just doesn’t get why the rest of the world doesn’t do it, too.
