Hey remember how Noir is an anti-fascist from 1933
THE FEAR IS SO REAL
he’s so skittish, oh my god, she’s literally unconscious and he’s pointing a gun from a distance like any second she’s going to spring up and wipe the floor with his ass again. i’ve been internally screaming about this for the past 14 hours, i’m so delighted at this.
whatever you may say about thompson (and you should keep saying those things because he’s a jackass and no one should forget that) he’s a goddamn quick study. before the russia mission he was all like ‘we can’t waste time babysitting her’ and post russia he’s telling agents from washington dc that they won’t be able to handle agent peggy carter, so he sets himself up behind the automat with a gun, prepared. except he’s still underestimating her, he thinks he’s got her cornered when it’s really the other way around, and he even STEPS TOWARD HER and tries to puppydog eyes her into coming in. and, of course, she knocks him out in three seconds.
he doesn’t waste time making excuses or licking his male ego wounds. she’s gotten the drop on his understanding of just how capable she is twice now, and he is not about to underestimate her again. he’s the first to step into the hall but he lingers behind sousa until sousa confirms she’s knocked out/she doesn’t jump up and punch him out.
to be honest, i think he’s still underestimating her. peggy WANTS to come clean and explain at the end of the episode, and says that the handcuffs are unnecessary because she’s going to tell them everything. in my opinion, peggy could still escape with those handcuffs at any part of this situation, especially in the interrogation room, where only ONE hand is cuffed (what is this, amateur hour?)
tl;dr i love thompson’s learning curve. i love that this guy was giving her papers to file in episode 1 and by episode 6 he’s terrified of her. this is beautiful and i appreciate this.
The government’s solution to Captain America is a giant hamster ball
In rewatching Captain America: Civil War, it is important to remember that Steve is assembling a team to take on several supersoldier assassins and the mastermind who wants to take over the world while Tony is assembling a team to arrest Steve's team.
The distinction is important.
I just learned that Pluto was discovered in 1930! Meaning that when Steve went into the ice, Pluto was a planet (as it should be), and when he woke up, it wasn't. Like, who had to tell him? Was he rightly horrified? Did no one bother to tell him and he just hears it randomly one day??? I need answers!!!
he is just a silly boy

There are very few constants in Agatha Harkness' life. The grief. The cycles of power, losing it and taking it.
And this.
and this whole world is haunted
matt spent so much time being worried that his relationship with foggy & karen put them in harms way when they were plenty capable of doing that for themselves. karen is out there getting kidnapped every other episode and foggy is running around in back alleys w a sign on his back that says “mug me” and starting fights with DA’s. neither of them think twice before stepping two feet first into the most dangerous situations possible and matt is off stressing that the armed robber he stopped five months ago will target them
you can run on for a long time
watching The Purge: Anarchy and thinking about cyan’s fantastic meta on steve rogers’ body count. i know what i’m about, son.

The first comic book I ever read was Spider-girl. I got a box of them for Christmas.
“I’m one of 28 young ballerinas with the Bolshoi. The training is hard but the glory of Soviet culture and the warmth of my parents…my…parents…makes up for….” No. No. That’s not right. “I’m one of 28 Black Widow agents with the Red Room. The training is hard but the glory of Soviet supremacy and the warmth of my parents…all my…parents…makes up for…”
just hawkeye things✨
[ID: a digital drawing of Clint barton from the waist up. He’s singing the circle of life from the lion king and holding his dog (lucky) above his head. lucky looks like a golden retriever/labrador dog and he’s wearing a light purple bandanna.
Clint is wearing gray sweatpants, a red hoodie with a silver star in middle, and he has a bandage wrapped around his left hand and across his nose. his bright purple hearings aids are wrapped around his ears and he has a huge grin on his face]
How did Clint and Caps relationship evolve from the "fuck you old man" mess it was in the early avengers
to understand their original dynamic, we’ll have to go back to clint’s childhood. first, clint’s father abused him, then orphaned him at age 8 by drunkenly crashing a car. strike 1 for father/authority figures.
his next father figure, the swordsman, acts as a mentor teaching him swordsmanship, knife-throwing, how to improve his aim, etc. clint looks up to him and practices hard to be part of the circus’ act, but discovers swordsman is stealing some of the show’s earnings, so swordsman tries to kill clint, breaking both of clint’s legs in the process, and leaves him for dead. strike 2.
older brother barney thinks clint wasted a good opportunity for them to work with the swordsman, so he leaves too. kind of a strike 3.
while clint heals, trickshot trains clint extensively until he thinks clint is finally ready to earn his keep. clint complies to try to make him happy. turns out trickshot was just prepping clint for more criminal activity, and he ends up shooting clint to a tree and leaving. strike 4.
by now, clint’s been abused, abandoned, or both by all of his father figures. he tried acting like a better son, brother, or mentee to please these figures in the hopes that they would act better towards him in return. clint now sees that it did nothing. by now he’s old enough and skilled enough to perform as a main act in the circus circuit, incidentally still being mostly run by criminals, so all authority figures are running together as “not to be trusted” at this point.
when clint joins the avengers, he’s thinking he’ll be part of a bona fide, revered team, as an equal member. instead, he finds out that all the founding members of the avengers are leaving, the other members are barely-reformed young villains (which he also is but that goes over his head), and a recently thawed captain america is being put in charge. as you might expect, he’s not thrilled.
now, everyone clearly sees cap’s put in charge because (1) he’s captain america (2) he’s led platoons (3) everyone else is like 19 and was a villain’s lackey like 1 week ago, and (4) he’s captain america. but clint sees: (1) some dude thinks he’s the boss of me! (2) i don’t need some dude to be the boss of me!! (3) it never goes well when some dude is the boss of me!!! (4) bosses don’t last long anyways, so i should be the boss of me and everyone else!!!!
even though cap demonstrates effective leadership, clint’s just waiting for the other shoe to drop. he trains with cap begrudgingly, because his last trainers had ulterior motives. with every instruction from cap, clint lets any possible objection he could have be known. if he can’t think of one, then he’ll just insult cap for being old. he completely resents cap’s authority over him.
but the other shoe never does drop. steve, being recently thawed and going through his own issues, left the team for a short period. clint thinks “a-ha! i knew he would abandon us!” but cap quickly returns. and unlike his other father figures, cap repeatedly shows genuine support, belief in clint, and concern for his well-being. as cap’s actions prove time and time again that he’s different, clint starts to warm to him; but still throws some insults to show that he’s ready to disobey an order at any moment. the insults become more half-hearted.
by the time hank pym comes back to the team, clint was regularly training with cap– and actually enjoying himself.
naturally, his defense mechanisms mean he’s still a little combative…
but over time, clint’s jeering shifts to friendly teasing. he always lets his objections be known and still argues often, but for things he has actual reasons for and no longer just because. soon enough, clint practically idolizes cap. everyone knows this because it’s completely transparent.
and so, cap will always have a soft spot for clint
and clint will always call him old. and they will insult each other, forever

I seem to be “stress-sketching” more and more often. Specifically the winter soldier.
Agatha mentoring Billy is going to be like "Yeah I'm a super VILLAIN and you want to be a super HERO so I'm just going to teach you what I know and hopefully it translates over somehow. Anyway, lesson one: Always have a cloak or dress or something to flow behind you dramatically."
