Sam Wilson And The Art Of Moving On As An International Fugitive

there was extensive discussion of collars on the hydra trash party irc channel tonight c:

as the winter soldier he botched a shot because a little girl got in his line of fire

his first christmas as himself again he gave a wad of cash to a homeless vietnam vet 

after the events in washington d.c. he returned to his handlers but didn’t kill them (just beat ‘em up a little) bc he didn’t want to spill anymore blood 

he got really emotional when the young avengers patriot, hawkeye, and vision saluted him and said it was an honor to work with him 

once told off one of his soviet handlers for suggesting that the black widow belonged to anyone

visits his little sister at the alzheimer’s hospital where she lives 

has actually uttered the words “holy cow” on screen

saw Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in theaters with his dad and little sister 

actually put his hair in a manbun and wore an apron over his uniform to make eggs and bacon for himself and steve

adopted a space aardvark he found in chains, scared, and alone

The government’s solution to Captain America is a giant hamster ball

I just had a thought on Steve’s initial argument against the Accords.

What if they send us somewhere we don’t wanna go?

What if they don’t send us somewhere we think we should be?

He already had a point in his life when he knew he could be helping the people who needed it, but was limited to a star-spangled costume and jaunty theme tune. He’s been put on the bench before, and he’s seen people he cared about suffer because of it. If they’d let him out sooner, maybe Bucky and his unit would never have been captured. Maybe Bucky would never have been tortured and hurt and made into Zola’s plaything.

Given the war that Steve fought in, and given that he saw how America hung back until Pearl Harbour happened, I don’t imagine he’s ignorant about how they could end up being put on the shelf while conflicts raged, until they were absolutely necessary. On top of that, he has watched his identity as Cap be used for politicking, to sell war bonds, to encourage patriotism and all that jazz, even after his death.

And here’s a thought: Tony was the one who created and unleashed his weapons on the world. Steve was one of those weapons. It’s the difference between being the seller and being the product. Tony sees it as a quality control. Steve sees it as losing his autonomy and becoming that dancing monkey again.

An old silly sketch (Most of the costume details were taken from my mind /ᐠ - ˕ -マ )

“There have been reports of atypical behavior. Distraction, tiredness, irritability. Your coworkers are concerned that you’re struggling. One or two, I could brush off, but there is a clear pattern here.” Pierce takes off his glasses, rubbing at the bridge of his nose. He looks sorry to say it, and sorrier about whatever he’s gonna say next.

Steve tenses.

“Captain Rogers,” Pierce says sympathetically. “I know your transition has been difficult.”

“I like to think I’m handling it to the best of my ability,” Steve says.

Pierce leans forwards. “That is precisely my concern, Captain. You’re making your best effort and it’s not enough. You need help.”

Winter soldier but he slays the house down boots

Marvel. Bucky. Never over the grimy racoon look.
