the scene in the first avenger when peggy carter asks a soldier to step forward and then she fucking decks him in the face and straight up knocks him to the ground without once showing an emotion changed me as a person

Oh damn.
Ladies and gentlemen, imagine if you will…Steve Yoshimoto Rogers.
Growing up in the depression in San Francisco, Steve tried to join the Army at the beginning of the war, but was turned down repeatedly. (He tried to explain that he was American, born here, but even if they had been accepting half-Japanese soldiers at that point he was too skinny and sickly.) In ‘42 he and his best friend Bucky were shipped to Manzanar - by ‘43 they were accepting Nisei soldiers, and he and Bucky were both yes-yes boys. Bucky joined the 442nd but they still didn’t let Steve in - the conditions at the camp hadn’t done anything good for Steve’s health. Without Bucky there, there was nobody to keep Steve out of trouble, fighting the guards when they tried to bully the other internees, and by the end of ‘43 Steve was sent to the prison camp at Tule Lake with the other “incorrigibles”. It was there he met Dr. Erskine. Imagine if this was the face of the symbol of America.
Holy shit, I love this, I WANT this. I want an ongoing 150 issue three-year series of this.
@samtalksfunny and what if Steve’s childhood best friend was James Morita not James Barnes
Yeah, this would be pretty awesome all right (and I could see Steve having a really conflicted time at the camps and with the loyalty oath and everything).
Yours a self-sacrificing idiot too?

blessed International Punching Nazis Appreciation Day, everyone.
and, you know, kirby was jewish. and so were siegel and shuster. and so is stan lee. comics nerds should all be rolling up our sleeves.
samsteve + these are actual quotes from the comics i swear
that moment in the first avenger when bucky shoots that guy and steve turns around and salutes him makes me laugh bc, like, i will be the first to admit i know nothing about military strategy, but i feel like you probably shouldn’t so blatantly give away your sniper’s location like that
like, was that moment immediately followed by bucky scrambling to his feet like ‘goddamnit steve HOW MANY TIMES’ and takin off into the woods while hydra goons fired at him,, like thank you, captain america, for that, i was hoping to make this more complicated than necessary
♫baby its YOU♫
#I would like us to all take a moment to appreciate#how specifically steve’s expression says#‘I don’t know but I think you might be part of the solution’ yesssssss
One of the many things that makes cosplay so awesome is that absolutely anyone can do it. The Department of Awesome Parenting salutes the Cosplay Parents, a mother and father duo who, inspired by their cosplaying daughter, are taking advantage of their retirement to cosplay their hearts out.
They like to cosplay complementary, age-appropriate characters such as Carl and Ellie from Pixar’s movie Up (as though Ellie survived to go adventuring with Carl) or Captain America and Peggy Carter as though they were able to grow old together. Awww!
Follow the Cosplay Parents on Facebook to check out more of their delightful and heartwarming costumes.
