Anyways, according to Agents of Shield, Steve spent a few weeks after defrosting in "one of Fury's old retreats," "a safehouse for people with powers" AKA a cabin by a lake in the middle of nowhere.
A metal part of the wall looks like someone punched it.
I'm sure Steve had an amazing time.
Kate Bishop does not want a protege. Maybe in a decade or so, when her joints start to stiffen. But at twenty-seven, she doesn’t think she’s quite adult enough to adult someone else.
Much less this someone else.
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
even just in the platonic sense the steve bucky dynamic has so untapped potential that marvel continuously lets go to waste by letting them say one line to each other per movie. srsly tho!!!! these bitches are early childhood friends. they legitimately know everything about each other. they’ve seen each other at high points low points what the fuck pal??? points, they know every embarrassing story by heart, they must have so many inside jokes, nothing is weird for them. they can be brutally horribly rudely honest with one another & get away with it. They fight , physically and verbally, and will knock sense into each other. or!! on the flip side they come up with the stupidest shit and get each other in trouble on purpose. the interactions are endless and unique and marvel is ridiculous to not make use of this. their default emotion/friendship setting is not pain!!!!
That Captain America Healing Factor is all well and good until someone on the team has to pin Steve down and re-break his arm because they didn’t splint it in time and it healed wrong. Until they have to dig a knife into his face and pull out glass fragments that his skin healed over in five minutes flat. Until he has to have surgery wide awake because no anaesthetic works and the only other option is a leather belt between his teeth and useless platitudes like its going to be okay Steve, I promise, it’ll be over soon.
Someone on here said “I love the way you draw Andrew” and that was enough for me to draw for the full 48 hours after HDHAH
Thank you so much to that person for the compliment and the motivation RAH <3
I’m going to clean up the linework some more but was way too excited to share, I’m kinda proud of this one
(Edit: I cleaned it up a little >:D TOP LEFT SPIDEY GAVE ME ISSUES FR 🫡)
another history making marvel post I never see anyone talk about is “so is nobody helping blade kill all those vampires”
