There are very few constants in Agatha Harkness' life. The grief. The cycles of power, losing it and taking it.
And this.

“wanda, just like we practiced!” aka bring your kid to work day i drew these two a lot after civil waR
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
another history making marvel post I never see anyone talk about is “so is nobody helping blade kill all those vampires”
Been a really long time since I've watched Daredevil but I do remember coming away from it feeling like it presented a pretty compelling internally-consistent moral justification for the vigilante thing. You're not planet-crackingly powerful, it's just that you can hear, in detail, every awful thing your neighbors are doing to each other, every night that they're doing it. You can't not know and you can't pretend not to know and when the kid tells you the next day that he just fell down the stairs you can't fall back on the provided ambiguity to absolve yourself of your responsibility to act. Semi-relatedly, you're really really good at martial arts. Start the clock
many will tell you that the dog motif is passé and cliché and overdone . don't listen to them. keep chaining that fictional man to a fence
The US government is CONVINCED Bucky's still brainwashed because he keeps saying Minimum wage should be raised
Bucky, who spent most of life helping Steve get by with his 900 disabilities and illnesses: we don’t have universal healthcare by now?
