ANTHONY MACKIE, Twisted Metal (2023)
Steve + Bucky: perfect read of each other’s non-verbal cues, flawless synchrony, talking not required
Sam + Bucky: *screams in gibberish*
“Is there some kind of fund for superheroes?”
“There’s a tremendous amount of good will, and because of that, people are inclined to help.”

#i never noticed mackie’s little head gesture in the first one #CHOOSING TO INTERPRET IT AS SAM BRACING FOR A ‘YES’ #BRACING FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED BY CAPTAIN AMERICA #and then being pleasantly surprised charmed seduced etc
WOOED THE WORD YOU’RE LOOKING FOR IS WOOED
GUESS WHOSE TAGS ARE TOTALLY GETTING REBLOGGED
#but yeah can you imagine being a black soldier in a world where Captain America and the Howling Commandos existed #b/c I can guarantee that the myth that grew up around that team was used by the right wing #to stifle things like the Civil Rights movement and race discussions in general #holding them up as a La La La Everything’s Always Been Fine Why Are You Making Race An Issue #while at the same fucking time holding Rogers up as this white man ideal #and burying his identity as a rebellious punk who basically lived with the phrase ‘fuck the system’ carved on his heart #I bet that Smithsonian exhibit had to go through a hell of a revision once Steve actually saw it and was like EXCUSE ME WHAT #I bet it didn’t have a fucking thing about Gabriel Jones or Jim Morita #so here Sam is confronted by this man who is everything white America thinks men should be #and everything he has been explicitly and implicitly told his entire life that he *couldn’t* be #and can you imagine hearing from this guy that he has just as much contempt for the good old days as you do #even if Steve’s reply doesn’t address the things you want him to #the relief of that must be like pulling a bad tooth #to know that Fox News was wrong about Steve Rogers #(and on another note to know that Steve Rogers thinks you’re cute) #Sam’s morning is going pretty good (via leupagus)
Star-struck Interviewer: “You must miss the good old days.”
Steve Rogers: “I grew up in a tenement slum. Rats, lice, bedbugs, one shared bathroom per floor with a bucket of water to flush, cast iron coal-burning stove for cooking and heat. Oh, and coal deliveries - and milk deliveries, if you could get it - were by horse-drawn cart. One summer I saw a workhorse collapse in the heat, and the driver started beating it with a stick to make it get up. We threw bricks at the guy until he ran away. Me and Bucky and our friends used to steal potatoes or apples from the shops. We’d stick them in tin cans with some hot ashes, tie the cans to some twine, and then swing ‘em around as long as we could to get the ashes really hot. Then we’d eat the potato. And there were the block fights. You don’t know what a block fight was? That’s when the Irish or German kids who lived on one block and the Jewish or Russian kids who lived on the next block would all get together into one big mob of ethnic violence and beat the crap out of each other. One time I tore a post out of a fence and used it on a Dutch kid who’d called Bucky a Mick. Smacked him in the head with the nails.”
Interviewer: “LET’S TALK ABOUT THE INTERNET.”
Steve Rogers: “I love cat pictures.”

it got better
just thinking about how this scene went down in civil war
MCU + The Onion Headlines (1/?)
they look like a mom and dad called into the principle’s office because of their child’s problematic behavior on the playground
😂😂
make me choose: anon asked: Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans or Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie
I WAS SO BOGGLED BY THIS UNTIL THE LAST IMAGE.
Sam is really inspired by Sharon’s speech
Steve’s internal monologue
P.S. I love Nick, Sharon & Tony and I know Steve respects all of them!! But just maybe…not in these particular moments :P
steve rogers seems to just be drawn to
military brunettes
with great cheekbones
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Steve and his dark haired, dark eyed beauties.
