Okay I Know You Wrote This A Year Ago But, Steve DID Become Captain America Because Of Bucky. He Became

This lady is one of us. How cool is that???

GotG Vol. 2 cast reveal their Avengers besties.

It’s amazing that some fictional characters can live their own life like that. In the hearts of real heroes. No stupid or cruel plot twists can change that.

Channeling his inner Captain America, cancer patient conquers toughest challenges

Landon Helff would spend every waking minute outdoors if he could, but he can’t.

@blessedharlot - a happy story to cheer both of us up. A young cancer patient beats his cancer using Captain America as his inspiration to never give up.

Excerpt: 

Channeling his love for Captain America helped Landon conquer his toughest challenges.

This is so true. I liked cacw but this is what really ruins it for me

but the entire first half of CA: the first avenger was showing steve's childhood and backstory.

(assuming this is a reply to this post)

By the time we see Steve in CATFA, he’s already an adult trying to enlist in the war. CATFA showed us a nice backstory of who Steve was (who he had grown to be at that point) before he had the serum, and who he turned into after it. 

Captain America: Civil War did not show us:

- who Steve’s mother was, what she was like, what she looked like, if she influenced Steve at all, what memories he has of her, how old she was when she died, how she died, how exactly her death affected Steve

- who Steve’s father was, if he was in Steve’s life at all, if he was symbolic in any way, what his name was, how he died, if his death affected Steve at all

- what steve looked like as a little kid (omf baby steve can you imaGINE)

- why Steve believes the things he believes, how he grew to fight prejudice, if prejudice and assumptions were important things in his childhood- if they had any affect on his family or on him- the evolution of his character born both out of himself and out of his environment and the things that must have happened to him

Captain America: Civil War did show us:

- who Tony’s mother was, what she was like, what she looked like, that she influenced Tony, what memories he had of her, how old she was when she died, how she died, and how exactly her death affected Tony

- who Tony’s father was, that he was in Tony’s life, that he was symbolic, what his name was, how he died, and how exactly his death affected Tony

- what Tony looked like as a young adult

- and why he believe the things he believes, how he grew to fear attachment and resent himself, the things he did and saw in his youth that impacted him in his adult life, the evolution of his character born both out of himself and out of his environment and the things that did happen to him

A brilliant explanation of consent for anyone who STILL doesn’t get it. 

Yeeessss

Announcing Stony Loves Steve

To celebrate Steve’s birthday, July 4th, we created Stony Loves Steve, a Steve/Tony gift exchange where participants create and receive Steve-centric fanworks.

There are lots of wonderful creations based on Tony, which is understandable, Steve loves focusing on Tony too, but, for this exchange, we’re choosing to focus on Steve instead! We hope to see more works exploring his side of his relationship with Tony across the Marvel multiverse, whether that relationship is slash or friendship.

Sign-ups will open on May 1st and run until May 17th. Additional scheduling info here.

An AO3 account is necessary to participate as the exchange is run through the site. If you do not already have one, please request one ASAP as it may take some time for AO3 to send your invitation. You can do that here.

Don’t forget to check out our FAQ for rules and requirements!

China..you’re doing it right.

It’s such a simple letter I’m amazed at the lack of comprehension from people. But really. Some think that it’s very selfish letter (whatever that means), some think that he blames Tony for everything in this letter or trying to make him feel guilty (???) and some even think that “Steve begs Tony to take him back” (wtf?). I have actually seen all those versions on tumblr and ao3.

*breathes in* 

STEVE ROGERS’ LETTER TO TONY STARK WAS IN NO WAY SELF SERVING.

things tony got in civil war:

+ a flashback to an important moment in his past

+ a look at his parents and their relationship

+ a non-action/character driven scene to catch viewers up on what our hero has been doing

+ time given to his closest friendship, including a heartfelt/respectful scene at the end

+ an apology

things steve got in civil war:

+ none of that

raise your hand if you will never not be salty about the lack of development of a friendship between Steve Rogers and Tony Stark in the MCU
