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

his lips purse as she flinches. he doesn’t know how to help aside from providing her with the RESPECT she did not receive from howard. he sighs, moving a hand to gently take one of hers. ❛ MUTUAL RESPECT, i believe. she is my EQUAL. ❜ he knows he can’t make howard see maria that way —– in TRUTH, it was a rather progressive idea for the times. but, ana had always been his equal in every way. it was what drew him to her in the first place. ❛ maria, have you ever considered leaving? ❜ it was not his PLACE to even put such an idea into her mind. surely howard would get WORSE without her there, but that did not matter now. not when she was the one getting hurt.
maria does not pull her hand away when mister jarvis takes it in his own, for it’s comfort and reassurance she craves now, and howard will not be giving it to her. but after the man has answered her question, he’ll pose his own, and maria feels herself freeze completely, even holding her breath. no, she’s never considered that. lifting her head, she shakes it almost frantically.
❛ i could not do that, mister jarvis.
❜ she needs to explain her reasoning, but there is never an excuse for the abuse she endures.
❛ he is all i have known. he was one of the first people to help me when i came to this country, and he is the first man to ever say he loves me.
❜ aside from her father, of course, but it is not him that they are speaking of.
❛ we are trying for a child…
❜
again, but maria won’t add that. this will be the third time they’re trying, for the first two children had been lost, and it’s something maria blames herself for everyday still.
❛ it will make things better. i know it will. this time will work.
❜ who is she trying to convince by saying that? azure hues search mister jarvis’ features frantically, as if begging him to understand. the ice feels rather good against her skin now, but she’s still in pain, both physically and emotionally.
