can you all tell me and be haters for a bit

UB40’s Red Red Wine.

I know some folks feel self-conscious about leaving comments on fics -- "I'm shy, I don't know what to say." I got a good one for you: if you want to make a fic writer's day, just comment, "Looking forward to re-reading this." It worked on me ❤️

Imagine thinking that fandom isn’t a social event?

Steve dropping the shield at the end of Civil War gets me so much.

Because when Tony tells him, "That shield doesn't belong to you. You don't deserve it. My father made that shield," it's not really about the shield, is it? You don't deserve it. It's supposed to hit Steve where it hurts, it's supposed to make him stop.

And in a split second, if at all, Steve weights the shield on his arm - the symbol of Captain America, of the hero that he is - against the man on his shoulder - his best friend - and drops it. Fucking take it then.

He doesn't even turn around.

That shield represents so much to Steve and everyone around him and yet, it means nothing when compared to Bucky.

I feel like it’s the difference between Steve and Captain America.

Being Captain America allowed Steve to be the man he knew he always was, and to show that to the world - to have the world allow him to be that man.

Somewhere along the way, the world confused Steve Rogers with Captain America. The mythology grew up around him, partly because of the things he did but also those 70 years on ice allowed the world to make of him what they wanted - to create a Captain America to their specifications.

But Steve wasn’t that man - wasn’t that Captain America. And, eventually, the shield - that symbol - has become twisted and people at large think it means something that it never did. Not to Steve, anyway.

Bucky + stopping fights in alleys

Modern!Bucky thinking to himself - now where can I go to make new friends in this new world? Aha, I know-

Darcy’s back in What If… bitches! 🥰

WAIT WAIT ITS COMING BACK?!?! I saw am article ages ago that said it was canceled

I can’t speak for other countries, but I *assume* that it’s more or less the same in the UK as in the US at least, but the third (and final, sob) series drops Dec 22nd

We knew the Steve Rogers Captain America era was over after Endgame. Now, we have been waiting to see what the Sam Wilson era will bring us. From the looks of this trailer, a lot of potential war and betrayal. It looks intriguing, but it also shows off a little too much. Hopefully, there are a few more surprises left for the film to show us. It does look better than I have given it credit for in the past, so perhaps that is why they opted to show as much as they did. Only a few months longer until we shall see what this has to offer. Hopefully, it gives us some indications as to what we can expect next in terms of connectivity. The last few projects did very little to provide any sort of cohesion.

Dare I say, but it’s giving TWS political thriller vibes for me, and I’m here for it. Fingers crossed.

in these troubled times, remember sam wilson. who when faced down by an enforcer of fascism, ready for aggressive physical assault - after listening to him deliver a monologue designed to intimidate about domination, superiority and pain, responded with a quick and resounding “man, shut the hell up”.
