Favorite details from Avengers Annual 2014 #1
They have two kitties living with them in Stark Tower. THEY HAVE KITTIES

Captain Handsome ordering you to rock and roll on that 45
Tony Stark lab mess
MCU!Tony: everything that made you special came out of a bottle
AA!Tony: (◡‿◡🔧)
AA!Tony: (ʘ‿ʘ🔧) What you say 'bout my Steve?
AA!Tony: (ʘ‿ʘ)/🔧Hold my wrench
EMH!Tony: 🔧\(。-_-。) Kick his ass, other me. I got yo wrench.
They have a chessboard in their lounge!!
On one hand I'd see why they'd play a lot, to learn some strategy and because it's fun. But on the other hand, I wouldn't want to be the poor sap to play against Vision, Steve, Natasha or Tony🤭
People are like "I got found family baited by Marvel😭😭" oh you precious fool. You got found family baited by the MCU, go watch Avengers Assemble.
Okay but clunky IM 1&2 armor >>>>>>>>> that bad cgi stuff from later movies
Like I get the Bleeding Edge armor is Super Cool and all but it's ugly af is what I'm saying. He looks like someone beat his face flat with a frying pan and most of the armor is too smooth and slim to feel comfortable to look at.
Clunky, large, bulky, whirring, buzzing, mostly-real Iron Man armor is superior you can't change my mind
Give me marvel asks or send me your headcanons i'm in a creative mood lol
Very random, I've watched quite some rSlash recently, especially choosingbeggars and entitledparents are my favorite. Imagine Steve being at a public event and he's mostly there for the children and stuff, and then he deals with an entitled parent.
The other Avengers are there too, but it's mostly him, Sam, Clint, Thor and Tony. Natasha is not comfortable in spotlights and Hulk... well, Hulk can be great with kids, but they didn't want to risk it.
Steve is just crouched down, playing with some kids when another kid starts pulling at his shield. It's magnetically attached to his back, and the kid isn't very strong so he can't get it loose. Steve knows how much the kids love his shield, so he isn't very surprised, but the kid didn't ask so he carefully moves away.
"We always ask first before we touch other people's property," he explains gently.
The kid is not happy. He stomps his foot. "My mommy said I could hold it!"
"I mean... you can," Steve says, "But you have to ask first."
"No! My mommy said I could hold it!"
Before Steve can say something else, the kid storms off. Oh well. He continues with the other kids, who know have been made aware that they can ask to hold his shield.
Needless to say, there's now a plethora of kids all chanting "please please please please" as they crowd him eagerly.
He takes off his shield and lets them play with it. It's Vibranium anyway, and if one of these kids breaks it? If one of those 6 year olds can break his shield Steve will eat the shards.
A few minutes later a woman comes storming towards him as if she's going to attack him. With all the kids here and unprotected adults a little away, Steve immediately stands on edge and tenses his muscles. You never know.
"Why are you discrimination against my son?" She demands.
Steve blinks, entirely confused. "Sorry?"
"My son just told me you refused to let him hold your shield when he asked nicely!" The woman snaps her head towards the children all gleefully tugging at the shield and touching it. "Why can they hold your shield but my baby can't?!"
It suddenly clicks, and Steve deflates a little. An annoyed parent, not a threat. He could deal with that. Sort of. "I'm sorry, ma'am. Your son tried to grab my shield without permission, so I told him to ask nicely and he could hold it, but he ran aw-."
"You're not his parent, don't talk to my child like that!" She screeches. "You should let him hold your shield if he wants to! It's not like it'll break anyway!"
Steve tries to stay calm. "That wasn't the point, ma'am. He tried to grab my property without asking."
"You're here for the kids!" She wails, sounding like a damn police siren, "If my baby wants your shield he can have it!!"
At this point, Tony has overheard what's happening through the coms, and he walks over (or more like stumbles over in his metal can) with a few kids hanging onto his arms and legs.
"Is there a problem?" He asks, once he's arrived.
"He won't let my baby hold his shield!" The woman yells, "We're being discriminated against!"
Steve and Tony share a look, and Tony knows right away what the deal is. He's had his fair share with people like this.
The woman then screams the infamous words, "I want to speak to your superior!"
"Ma'am," Steve says, exasperated, "I am the superior."
Looking at the ages of the Avengers it's always so jarring to see the difference between Steve and everyone else.
Using the release date of The Avengers (April 25, 2012), I've made a list of Marvel characters' ages, youngest to oldest. (Not counting Peter Parker and Vision, who is like -2 years old. Wanda is 2 ages because her birth year was retconned in WandaVision).
Wanda Maximoff: either ±16 or ±22
Steve Rogers: ±26 years
Natasha Romanov: ±29 years
T'Challa: 31 years, 8 months
Sam Wilson: 33 years, 7 months
Stephen Strange: ±35 years
Pepper Potts: 40 years, 0 months
Clint Barton: 41 years, 3 months
Tony Stark: 41 years, 10 months
Bruce Banner: 42 years, 4 months
Scott Lang: ±43 years
James Rhodes: 43 years, 6 months
Phil Coulson: 47 years, 9 months
Nick Fury: 61 years, 9 months
See what I mean about it being "jarring"? All people in the room with Steve in The Avengers are older than him. Some of them even are older by literal decades.
I will never shut up about this because they literally put a 26 year old guy in a room filled with people older and more experienced than him, and then said "you're their leader now, figure it out".
And, looking at it from the other side, imagine Tony and Clint coming in and seeing that a guy who's FIFTEEN YEARS younger than them has to lead them into battle. And when Steve meets Sam, they share an age difference of six whole years.
I know 26 is a full adult, but considering everything Steve has been through in his life it's so shockingly young, and the way he was just thrust into the 21st century and made responsible for a team he knew nothing about is so sad.
This is some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen, oh my god Steve
Okay but analyzing these is so much fun.
I’ve watched the scene of Age of Ultron a few times, and I discovered that Helen Cho is currently napping on the couch just out of frame, waking up when Clint goes to lift the hammer.
Maria is playing a cards game with Tony, Rhodey and Steve, of which the latter as his stack of cards upside down on the table. There are four cards open on the table in front of them; the ace of spades, the two of spades, seven of diamonds, and the nine of hearts (though I could be wrong, it’s blurry).
It’s also so clear Clint and Maria are not sitting on the couch. Bruce and Natasha are sitting on the couch/sofa, which all seem to be the same height, but they’re so much higher. Bruce is almost towering out above Clint, even though he’s leaning forward to Natasha. Clint is also leaned back, which highly suggests he’s sitting on the floor. He probably took a pillow and settled down there, just like Maria did beside him.
Clint is twirling the chopsticks between his fingers, Thor passes Steve the Asgardian mead again, and Natasha and Bruce are discussing Natasha’s beer bottle, as he holds it up to him later in the scene.
You can see various things on the table like Chinese take-out and Thor’s hammer in the middle. There are small decorations too, such as a blue candle in a somewhat large, black holder, a smaller white candle, and the hammer is supported by two books. There’s lots of nut shells on the table, so I guess they had some snacks. And there’s this wooden, pyramid shaped box thing with something silver inside on the table, but I don’t know what it is.
They also used a lot of different kinds of glasses, like a cocktail glass, Thor was drinking beer from a highball glass, some drink straight from the bottle, Steve drunk from a rock’s glass earlier, there’s a white wine glass in front of Thor, though he’s holding a smaller glass himself, and there’s lots of glasses that I just don’t recognize. It has a really tall stem, but also a fairly big bowl in the shape of a cone, you can see here:
During the party scene you can also see a few extras come into shot multiple times, like this blonde,
Who seems to join her friend in pink at the table behind Sam and Steve. Later, she can be seem laughing at Rhodey’s joke (center-left), and coincidentally, she sits with her friend in pink again!
I just love this scene. It gives me warm found family feelings🥰
Fic where all of the Avengers are trying to teach tech stuff to Steve (especially Tony who just gets so annoyed at his apparent tech incompetence) but he just seems super hopeless at it until one day one of them stumbles across a youtube account that’s filled with a series of videos titled ‘How Long Can I Keep My Friends Convinced I Have No Idea What Technology Is’ and it turns out he’s been gaming them for YT hits for months.
“How do I make the Google do the thing” has over 30 million hits alone.
Good I need this
@h2o-from-a-vodka-bottle and @lightningxstriking I thought you'd like this :)

"Tony!" Steve called out, making sure that a sense of frustration sounded through his voice, just audible enough around the edges. The camera was up and ready to go, and he could already feel the giggles bubbling up in his chest. "Tony! I need help!"
Barely a minute later, Tony came rushing into the room, looking left and right before his eyes caught Steve and he approached. The man was quick to notice the laptop on the table, all up and running, so it was not too difficult for him to realize this was a technical problem.
"Steve, what's going on?" He asked, "You didn't download any weird porn, right?"
"Did you uplift my computer?" Steve asked sternly, ignoring Tony's thrown in quip. He almost lost it there and then. He had to be strong. For the views. For his fans.
"Did I- what?" A deep frown knitted Tony's eyebrows together, "Excuse me?"
"Everything is different," Steve said, sighing dramatically as he gestured vaguely towards his laptop. "Did you uplift it without notifying me?"
Tony stared at him in utter confusion. Then, the man sucked in a sharp breath, hand coming up to pinch the bridge of his nose. "Oh my god- Do you mean update?"
"Everything's different," Steve repeated, filled to the brim with satisfaction and mischievous glee that his little plan was working. "I can't find my stuff. Where's the... the..." he waved his hand again. "The Sky thing, you know? With the video calling?"
"...Skype?" Tony looked as if he had just crawled out of the depths of his lab after being locked there for days with only pizza as nutrition and cheap beer to flush it down with. He sighed, shaking his head shortly. "Look, Steve-"
"And where's my GoogleBing?!"
"Your what?"
In feigned frustration, Steve swung his hand at his laptop screen again, having to suppress a grin that threatened to break through. "My GoogleBing! It was so handy, I had everything I needed on that. Did the system crash?"
Tony did not answer, but instead stared off in the distance. His eyes were hollow and dull, as if all the will to live had been sucked out of him.
The corners of Steve's mouth curled up just slightly thinking about what he would call the video.
"Tony, where is the GoogleBing?!"
