01. NO GOD-MODDING. simple as that. DRAMA/HATE FREE BLOG. if you send me it, i'll either publish and laugh, or completely delete c:
02. MULTIVERSE-SHIP. every ship on this blog will be separate from one another, unless previously discussed by all mun's involved. in regards to shipping specifically, i ship maria with CHEMISTRY! furthermore, i play maria as heterosexual. i apologize if you do not like that, but this is how i'm playing maria and if you don't like that, then all you have to do is not follow or simply unfollow. w! some exceptions may be made, but on a case to case basis. it goes without saying that maria is from a time where same sex relationships were rather frowned upon, so i intend to keep those beliefs/ideals of hers in tact, unless otherwise discussed.
03. ALL TONY'S WILL BE RECOGNIZED. tbh, i feel like this is rather obvious. maria is tony's mother, therefore she will recognize any and all forms of him when it comes to other blogs. all howard's will be recognized, as well! again, obvious.
04. ON THE TOPIC OF OC CHILDREN, i will accept p much any and all oc children. granted, i DO have the right to pick and chose who i rp with, but 7 times out of 10 i'll most likely rp with you c:
05. TYPE OF WRITING PREFERRED: script, novella, prose, text, chat, ( tho i'll p much do anything. furthermore, ALL TRANSLATIONS COME FROM GOOGLE TRANSLATE. that means they won't be accurate 100% of the time, and i apologize ahead of time if that offends anyone, bc it's not intended to!
06. TYPE OF THREADING PREFERRED: icon or gif icon. some gifs will be used, but it will be rare. also, PROPER GRAMMAR IS APPRECIATED.
07. ALL ICONS AND GIF ICONS USED ARE MINE! with that said, i'd like to thank kaylyn for editing all the icons/making a handful of them, and making them pretty.
08. THIS BLOG IS POST TWS, AGE OF ULTRON, CIVIL WAR, AND MOST OTHER MARVEL WORKS, , aside from daredevil, jessica jones, and the most recent season(s) of AoS. with this said, i'll be playing maria post-assassination. if you need any extra info, read my about page.
09. MUN/MUSE 21+. (based on verse) smut is a-okay with me, tho i will definitely want a previous relationship before going into that. i also have very few triggers (self-harm, suicide, abortion, anything gory/bloody that has to do with teeth), so gore and violence and the likes is a very likely possibility here! furthermore, i won't be smutting with ANY minors, and require everyone be over 18, regardless of the country you live in / your country's age of consent.
10. IF YOU READ MY RULES, send me "maria stark deserves better" pls and thank youuu!

Born to parents Roberto and Valentina Carbonell April 28, 1936, Maria grew up a calm and somewhat sheltered life. Her parents owned and ran a small vineyard that sold to the local townspeople, and the young woman was set to take over once married. Finishing school in 1954, her focus became the family vineyard and helping out her family in any way she could.
It wasn’t until she met Howard Stark at the age of seventeen when the charming man was on business in her hometown of Milan, Italy ( depending on the verse, she could have been in America instead ). Taking a liking to him quickly and easily, Maria left with him to go to the States, getting her citizenship in the country and eventually marrying the successful millionaire August 16th, 1963. She was many years younger than him, but she did not mind the age difference, though many believed she was only marrying him for his money; that could not be further from the truth.
On May 29th, 1970, Maria gave birth to their first child, Anthony Edward Stark, after having experienced two miscarriages. It was a miracle, really, and Maria doted on the young boy, even through his rebellious stages. However, she made sure to instill in him manners and a high respect for women, despite his eventual womanizing ways. With that said, he's never once looked down on a woman or insulted one, something Maria is proud of.
And then, December 16th, 1991, the whole world seemed to end, and quite literally for Maria. The assassination had been carried out by one of Hydra's best, James "Bucky" Barnes, and though the man made sure to end Howard's life, the Italian belle held on to just enough of her own, even though Bucky had nearly seen to it that her last breath was taken; he simply let go too soon. Knowing of SHIELD and Howard’s involvement by now, though, those that could still be trusted were able to locate and save her just before she crossed over permanently. Performing multiple emergency surgeries to save Maria, including injecting her with Kree blood/DNA, they eventually were able to, but not without odd side effects. The woman’s aging had been thrown off in the process, Maria now resembling her roughly thirty-six year old self. At this point, with only few SHIELD personnel knowing of the Hydra contamination within the organization, they knew they had to hide her from the public eye and anyone else’s eye, putting her in a safe house and forbidding her to contact anyone she’d once known.
It was hard and still is to this day, but Maria has gotten by for over two decades, keeping tabs on her son through SHIELD and through the media. However, she’s quickly growing tired of listening to SHIELD and is still being put under surveillance by SHIELD’s most trusted, even after the group’s fall. It’s only a matter of time before she defies their orders and reunites with Tony. She can only hope he doesn’t hate her for what she’s done to him. Maria would hate herself if she were in his place, but she doesn’t lose hope. No, not yet.
DEFAULT VERSE. this follows the events post assassination and through the present. maria has been kept hidden by SHIELD from the public eye, becoming one of their best kept secrets. she still tries hard to get into contact with her son, and after the fall of SHIELD, she'll take her chances in finally carrying out such an action. whether or not he forgives her is up to him.
this verse takes place from maria's childhood, up until her meeting and marriage with howard stark. born in italy, she met the millionaire when he was on a business trip. young and naive, she fell for him quickly and agreed to leave the country to start a new life in america. married soon after, she couldn't be happier in her life with the genius. maria carbonell became maria stark, and she never looked back.
this verse takes place during her marriage with howard stark. she's learned a lot in the relationship, no longer as innocent and naive as she once was, and the couple are even trying for children now after many yeares of convincing on maria's end. however, she experiences two miscarriages ( cause can be found in her HEADCANONS page ) before conceiving tony. once the boy is born, he becomes her life, as howard becomes more and more distant.
this verse takes place in maria's older years, where she is much colder than she was before. drinking and smoking are normal pasttimes for her, for howard's neglectful ways are even more heavy and noticeable. however, her soft spot is still for her son, and always will be. much more demanding in what she wants, more accepting of the fame and all the power it gives her, maria is highly skilled at using it all to her advantage. alternatively, if you'd prefer a more gentle and sweet version, instead of using monica bellucci, i can use vera farmiga. however, you must come to me and request that i use this alternate faceclaim.
this verse will follow the life of one blonde maria stark. coming from a well to do family in brooklyn, ny, howard and her meeting was HARDLY accidental. and though the pairing was intended to be a publicity stunt, the two fell fast for one another.
this verse follows MCU canon, meaning that hope davis is the fc being used. maria stark is a devoted wife and loving mother, as she always has been. both howard and tony rarely get along, but the family often times find any playful banter between them to be therapeutic, in a way. it's what makes the stark's who they are. i am willing to interact in this verse with anyone who requests it!
i only have a few rules when it comes to commissioning me, but i feel it best to put them before prices and services so that they're seen first! without further ado, here we go:
1. i accept payments only through PayPal. furthermore, i only take USD (US dollars).
2. i do not accept fan arts UNLESS you can prove to me you have the artists's permission to use said fan art, or the art was made specifically for you.
3. all of my prices are based on how long it takes me to complete what is requested. i've done these things long enough to have a relatively good idea on how long it'll take me to complete each "order", so again, all prices are based on how long it takes me to complete each order. i do not charge for content used.
4. i will take up to 4 commissions at a time for my own personal sanity, and any extras will be put on a waitlist. TO DO LIST: 6/4

Eyes closed as he turned his head to the side, was this potentially bad that he had been discovered or good, he couldn’t really tell by her tone at the moment. It took him a moment to collect himself, before tilting his head in her direction, pressing a kiss to her neck pulling back, a slight smile on his face.
“ Well, aren’t you nosy, my dear. ”
He wanted to ask what she thought about it, if he picked the right ring out. Yes, he actually picked it out, not Jarvis who he usually would have run his errands like he did with the bracelets but he decided to venture out into the jewelry store and pick out the ring he thought Maria would love, hopefully. If she said yes to him but now he was in a dilemma because she knew about it and he had no clue what exactly was running through her mind.
“ —It’s too much isn’t it? I should have gone with the other one I had picked out but I couldn’t take my eye off the one I got, it was just staring me in the eyes—I’m diverting from the situation, I probably should stop talking now. ”
He couldn’t get it what he actually wanted to say out of his mouth, granted, he planned the night perfectly in his head, the proposal was going to be so much more but with this incident it was all out of the water. Why did he have to keep the ring in his pants as a reminder of who he really loved? He kept it with him everywhere but obviously, that was a mistake.
He chuckled at his slight stupidity, a genius but not in the department of keeping secrets from someone he loves and trying to hide the fact that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Maria. In his ‘hideout’ he would always take out the little box, run through what he would say or simply look at it and just imagining their life together when they were married. But now, there was this moment where Howard was nervous, and at a loss of smart comments he could usually whip up in an instant.
the fact that he is so unsure of his own decision is shocking, but maria will find it extremely endearing. he is truly trying to woo her, to impress her, and the italian hardly feels as if such treatment is right; she doesn’t believe herself to deserve it. nonetheless, she’s flattered. ❛ howard… take a deep breath.❜ she’ll encourage gently, maria smiling at him as her free hand lifts to caress his cheek. the man is quite a bit taller than her, for the italian is young still. not that it matters, for her height will increase very little, nonetheless. but just as soon as she’s lifted her hand, she drops it back down so that she can slip the ring onto her left hand, holding it up once it’s on her ring finger. free hand moving to cover her mouth the next second, she’ll feel a stray tear fall down her cheek.
❛ — it is beautiful, howard.❜ she hopes he doesn’t mind that she’s put it on her finger, for his intentions were to ask her to marry him anyways; she’s simply speeding up the process by accepting the ring now. ❛ it is perfetto.❜ italian accent heavy as emotions start to overwhelm her, maria will move then to wrap her arms around his torso in a firm embrace. and then she’s standing on the tips of her toes to press a kiss to his pout before pulling away ever so slightly to remove the ring and give it back to him. ❛ i would like it if you gave it to me like you planned.❜ after all, howard seems disappointed he hadn’t been able to.
