How Did Clint And Caps Relationship Evolve From The "fuck You Old Man" Mess It Was In The Early Avengers

Enough of the trope where memory loss undoes the damage or the corruption or whatever. More content where removing memories just removes the context.

The tragedy of needing to grieve and not knowing what or who you lost or why. The angst of having trauma and being denied the awareness that it's trauma. The suspense of being different somehow and left to wonder how and when. The tension of knowing that something is off and you can't find where it hurts. The Adventure Zone gets it. Kingdom Hearts gets it.

There is an aching inside you and you don't know how it got there.

my agent carter headcannon is that the New York SSR’s filing system is a god damn wreck because every time some fathead agent would ask peggy to clean up his filing, she just wouldn’t. she’s go to the filing room, but she’d just hang out for a few minutes and roll her eyes (she might have had a snack hoard hidden in an evidence box but i can’t prove that)

now flash forward to after season 2, peggy’s transfered to Los Angeles, and jack finally figures out what she’s been doing when he’s stuck on desk duty recovering from the gunshot wound. now, he uses the threat of having to reorganize the file room to get whatever he wants in the office. he hasn’t actually forced some poor agent to do it yet, but by god he Will get those files reorganized one day if it kills him. Krzeminski’s biggest surviving legacy in the SSR is how badly he fucked up the filing system.

bucky has a disability??

he doesn’t have an arm.

imagine if the avengers had actually discussed the plan for more than an hour, and found out from nebula that you have to sacrifice what you love most to get the soul stone (basically a soul for a soul), and steve volunteered himself for the mission. face to face with the red skull, he’s asked if he’s willing to make the sacrifice, to lose what’s important to him. steve replies, “go ahead and try. i’ve already lost everything else.” after its done, steve just laughs and says, “that’s all?”

& steve makes it back alive with the stone. he makes it back to the avengers compound. they don’t recognize him at first, but once they see past the change in structure and size, its obvious. they ask what happened, and he replies “a soul for a soul”. he gave up captain america, let him go once and for all, and that was enough.  

alright, now that I'm on an apparent streak of posting illustrations I've made, here's one of my favorite ones.

it's clearly based on an image from Marvel's Daredevil, but it's honestly the best work on realism I've ever done

Can we talk about how Steve Rogers would probably fight to keep abortion legal and safe, because he saw how many people used to die back in the day because all abortions were illegal and unsafe and he knows if a person is pregnant and don’t want to be pregnant they will find a way to not be pregnant?

Can we talk about Steve Rogers telling off right wing politicians who say minimum wage isn’t supposed to be a living wage? Can we have him saying ‘No, I remember when it was instituted. It was supposed to be a living wage, senator.’

Can we talk about Steve Rogers supporting a raise in SNAP benefits, because he knows how it feels to go hungry?

Can we talk about Steve Rogers having problems with this country’s military industrial complex?

honestly steve deserved to be a little meaner in civil war

“steve you have to sign the accords”

“oh right i totally should sign my rights away to a government who i exposed to have been infiltrated by nazis for DECADES. i’m sure nothing bad will happen if i do that”

“i should let the government dictate my life when all i’ve ever done is save the world by going AGAINST the government. sounds like a great plan”

like t0ny stans love to say he was being horribly selfish and mean in civil war, which he… wasn’t, but i think he should have been

this was funnier in my head

the bucky/natasha/clint/bobbi/jessica dynamic is so funny

clint and natasha used to date

clint and bobbi were married, got divorced, and are sort of back together

clint and jessica used to date

bucky and natasha used to date, broke up, and got back together

natasha and jessica are friends

bobbi and natasha are friends

bobbi does not like jessica

bucky and jessica are former teammates/sort of friends

bucky wants to strangle clint
