"Shutting off Steve to be Cap" looool
things i like about Steve Roger’s character development in the MCU
probably speaks French and German
probably learned how to drive while at war
DEFINITELY spars with Nat because in every movie he picks up new moves she did in the previous movie. Moves that are made for someone with a small body using physics to fight larger bodied people. Moves that he does with his large body anyway.
his hair slowly becomes more modern with every film, so at some point he probably fingered the ends of his hair and thought about letting the past go before heading down to get a new style
he loves Sam so much
he is the only one who pays serious attention to Sam
he is the only one other than clint who can genuinely be described as “Nat’s Friend”
he likes birds
he’s nice, because when buck’s sadness notebook full of pictures of him was out, he could have embarrassed bucky but didnt, and pointedly drew attention away from the object. and that was very nice.
he draws still life’s and portraits and probably would go to art school if he didn’t have to be Cap
he grew up in a poor/predominantly black area of NY and likely lived with predominantly black people during the jazz age, which warms the cockles of mine heart. And is also probably the reason he was like * sees Sam* “ 👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀 good shit go౦ԁ sHit👌 thats ✔ some good👌👌shit right👌👌there👌👌👌 right✔there ✔✔if i do ƽaү so my self 💯 i say so 💯 thats what im talking about right there right there (chorus: ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ) mMMMMᎷМ💯 👌👌 👌НO0ОଠOOOOOОଠଠOoooᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ👌 👌👌 👌 💯 👌 👀 👀 👀 👌👌Good shit”
Rides a motorcycle in a very dramatic and reckless fashion
Is sad and lonely, but no one seems to notice but Nat and Sam
There is a clear divide between Steve Rogers the man and Captain America and he appropriately treats his body and his power like its on loan from FREEDOM and SWEET LADY LIBERTY. like, if you look close, you can see him shutting off steve to be Cap.
likes grandpa music
makes dad jokes
runs away from being set up with people, and I identify with that heavily
Likes strong/smart/powerful women. would probably get jelly knees if he met Wonder Woman.
Likely a virgin. Very Likely.
Doesnt care about the America of now, with its corruption and horribleness, instead, loves and fights for the America that Could Be, because he sees that America has all the ingredients for Glory and he just hopes that one day we can put them together in the right order and fairness so we can make a pretty good apple pie of freedom and justice.
fights people constantly and has no chill at all
Punches like a Heavy, but is almost as graceful as Natasha
dare him to do something and he’ll probably do it. A v Reckless Man.
he likes to wear khakis and plaid.
But balances that out by lowkey being a leather daddy
he wears so much leather oh my god
Blushes when he gets embarassed
all steve/bucky bed sharing AUs are pretty much canon because that was A Thing Men Did back in the 1930s when poor
an anxious pupper
dat ass
OMG this is the best XD
stevetony will never be canon, keep dreaming
there goes all my hopes cRUSHED, anon. all of this time spent shipping them meANINGLESS. empty. how will i gO ON knowing that they will never be elevated to the mythic untouchable status of canon. it’s so sad that all i have is
steve riding tony
steve defending naked tony’s honor
the way tony likes to launch himself face first at steve in order to protect him
tony stark: steve rogers’ personal chauffer
it’s
kind of
a thing
for them
but let’s not forget
steve carries tony out of burning buildings in the bridal carry
in fact steve guest stars in an iron man comic just to carry tony out of a burning building
the fireman’s carry is actually reserved for the cartoon
marvel funded & created a CGI animation film featuring 71 minutes of them sassing each other and taking names
once upon a time the current writer for the avengers, jonathan hickman (2012-present) implied that tony’s method of choice to make up to steve were blowies
and yes he might be torturing us all but at least he’s man enough to admit that the avengers is really about their relationship
and is that surprising i mean there’s an entire comic that’s based on a narrative arc, again, aBOUT THEM
comic writer brian michael bendis on how avengers: prime was framed as an adventure they had to go on to remind them why they love each other so much
here it is in tony’s own words
tony looking like he’s having a religious experience and seen the light or smth while being hugged by steve
60′s comics written like all the best terrible fanfiction where tony stark refers to steve rogers’ eyes as clear azure and composes poetry about his grace and daring
“i know you believe in the future, but i believe in people. and i choose to believe in your, iron man.”
retro comics were just really gay
animated tv show avengers assemble opens with steve facing off against red skull, his presumed “death” is the catalyst for tony reforming the avengers. their mid-season finale ended with tony “almost dying”
not very pg-13 for a kids’ show if you ask me
it’s really also extremely gay
tony stark no. 1 fanboy
in all the universes
what’s his username? captain america. what’s his password? captain america. foolproof. no one would ever guess. totally unhackable.
avengers tower: home and HQ of the earth’s mightiest heroes but also the site of the one and only “cap tribute room”
all the best superhero bases have framed portraits of captain america it’s interior designing 101
in fact tony thinks steve’s pretty no matter what skintight navel-bearing costume he’s wearing
tony thinks ultimates cap just so happens to be america’s hottest president
“CAPTAIN HANDSOME”
“good morning beloved” to which steve answers without even batting an eye
are they flirting??? was there really another horse?? we just don’t know
“where is here? is this a dream? tell me it is, tony. tell me you can wake me. tell me i’m not going to die in my sleep. don’t let this old soldier just fade away” – marvel comics?? or soap opera love story?? who can even tell the difference???
pictured: assorted superheroes with representatives from the avengers, the fantastic four, the x-men discussing how much tony and steve love each other while in the background steve and tony have a conversation
a married couple and leaders of the next generation of avengers referring to steve and tony as the mother and father of the avengers
sometimes they hold hands
actual canon universe earth-3490 where cis female tony married steve and their marriage helped end the civil war.
“mr. stark, when i woke up in this era, i had no one, nothing. you gave me a purpose, somewhere to belong. you gave me a home.”
tony and steve’s lips have touched bc tony was giving him cPR TO SAVE his life at the risk of his own
tony referring to the day he met steve as the greatest day of his life
civil war: the confession. where tony stark admits to steve rogers’ cold dead body that worse than the equivalent of selling his soul, alienating half of his friends and family from him, destroying his moral integrity combined, the one thing he couldn’t live with was steve being dead
“maybe… maybe there was a reason you had to be on the other side of every argument. how you could be my rudder, steering me when other’s couldn’t… i don’t know if i can do it without you… i certainly won’t do it as well…”
like they’re standing there reincarnated as walking corpses and steve’s missing half his face and they’re still acting like an old married couple
“guess they’ll have to learn to love me. you did.”
they jOKE ABOUT HAVING THE KIND OF ROUGH SEX THAT REQUIRES SAFEWORDS.
why dream when i have all this cold hard reality staring me in the face
Cutest thing ever
So I’m just going to start posting as if I was always around, in which case, I’d talk about my love of Steve/Tony. In my head (and probably in Marvel Adventures Avengers), they do things like this all the time. ‘3'
Captain America: The Winter Soldier Audio Commentary:
“If you’re not a comic book fan, when you think ‘Captain America’, you probably think ‘jingoist’, a propaganda piece. But if you know the comics, every time something happens in the world, he gets to address it: the hippies, the civil rights movement, the Watergate. And our MCU Cap missed all that, he missed 9/11. So he gets to address where we are now without having seen what forced us to make these decisions. He did not have the same slow descent into the cynicism that we all had over the last 40 years. He comes out with fresh eyes. One of the great things in the comics that we hoped to replicate in the movie is that his reaction is never the sort of knee-jerk old man conservative reaction you would think the man dressed in an American flag would have. He exemplifies the spirit of America, not a party, not a government. He’s never going to fall on a political line. He stands for an ideal and he stands for principles that are translatable across the board. What he is against in this film is subversion, subterfuge and lies, that line between freedom and fear.”
The Vengeful Orc of the North.
Awww I don't want to be an orc. Should have hurry. A week earlier and I'd be a princess
I, “The Vengeful King of the Seas”, made this myself because I was bored.

Wow. The most accurate CW Steve meta. Thank you thank you thank you
“We don’t trade lives”- Captain Steven Grant Rogers
The thing about "Steve stuck in the past re: Bucky/Peggy/life in general" is that, by itself, I think it's a valid writing choice. There are scenes that could support that interpretation, and it's a plausible way to add depth to Steve's character and create some conflict. But it's so often done in a "Steve should just get over himself" kind of way, rather than a "Steve is understandably struggling here" kind of way, which sucks.
Point. It’s presented as this unhealthy thing…almost a character flaw that Steve is ‘stuck in the past’. As if he’s an old man whining about the good old days and not someone who is grieving the destruction of his entire world. And it’s not just done in a way where “Steve should just get over himself” but also in a way that Steve being stuck in the past makes him toxic to Bucky/Tony/the team/ and he needs to get over himself because he’s hurting someone else. It’s never about what that grief is doing to him.
Sometimes I think the magnitude of Steve’s loss is what makes his trauma so completely incomprehensible to fandom while they sit and churn out overused childhood abuse tropes for Tony or Loki. Or it could just be the fact that Steve is a stoic character because Bucky’s trauma should also be absolutely incomprehensible but fandom sure manages to give a tonne of shits about it.
I’m not ready for this
Thank you to the best fans in the universe! Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” Trailer TOMORROW.
