The person who figured out the actor who played Pierce looked like Steve when he was younger and created the head canon that HYDRA hired him to be Bucky's handler for that reason has to answer for the pain they have caused

everything is cold

“wanda, just like we practiced!” aka bring your kid to work day i drew these two a lot after civil waR

something i find hilarious about the mcu is that in modern times the founders of shield are absolutely worshiped, to the point that jemma simmons freaks out about seeing something that peggy carter once held, and then you watch agent carter and find out that in reality the founders of shield were a gang of rage-filled, PTSD-riddled, disaster-magnet 25-year-olds whose top hits include kidnapping a man using a tranquilizer gun meant for koalas and then convincing him he has malaria, being reticent to help defuse a bomb because he has a souffle in the oven for his wife, literally moving across the country because he mistakenly thought his crush didn’t like him back, attempting to blackmail his only friend with information that wasn’t even true, and nearly accidentally committing mass genocide on the people of new york city because he couldn’t keep it in his pants

there aren't enough fics about steve reconnecting with his irish heritage either post-defrosting or post-endgame, tracking down his family (either in ireland or elsewhere) and exploring his roots and culture as a second-generation irish immigrant and what that meant for his values and politics growing up, and what it means for his views in the modern world now that the way irish americans are viewed has changed from since he was a kid and he and his mother were looked at like they were dirty and diseased just because they were irish

and, y'know, the events that took place in ireland in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s - steve would have learned about after he came out of the ice, and would that change his outlook or feelings about his heritage at all?

and what about finding his family? he was an only child, but what about aunts and uncles, grandparents, cousins who have since had their own children and their children have had their children too, did he ever think about looking for them? does he go to ireland to reunite with them and explore his home country the way his parents surely would have wanted for him if things hadn't turned out the way they had?

there's a lot of fics about bucky reconnecting with being jewish and what that means for him post-winter soldier rescuing and reintegrating back into society, but not much focused on steve's relationship with his cultural and ethnic background and i think that's a loss tbh

I love that "avengers level threats" are peters side quests. hes like yeah yeah thanos chitauri whatever. have you seen the 6 cackling freaks that have literally unionized against me as an individual

no more "steve rogers doesn't know modern technology." embrace "steve rogers has no fucking clue what's a realistic timeline for technological advancement is." this guy used a telegraph one day and a hologram the next. his first introduction to the present was tony stark. he's never lived in a world with an ethernet cable. he doesn't know what the fuck an ipod nano is. if you showed him something supposed to be a groundbreaking impressive invention he'd just be like "oh neat. regular future stuff. okay." steve rogers with the tech awareness of a gen alpha kid. if you showed him a cd rack he'd have to think about it.
