There Was A Young Man From Peru

Starfalls. Again-

This time the endgame version, which I was inspired by while reading the fanfic. I just started thinking about what Steve ended up going through during Infinity War. Lost Bucky again, unable to save him. Lost new friends. For five years. According to Steve's inner clock, he only loses Bucky for two years the first time. And here...five years? Oh-

Then he loses Natasha, his last close friend. Yes, after that everyone who was turned to dust returned, but in the end Tony died. Therefore, a picture where Steve can finally allow himself to collapse. Release the burden of emotions. Mourning and at the same time relief that his Bucky is alive.

There..there are a lot of emotions there, really...

Oh and I enjoyed drawing this-- although I've gotten really into rendering again, I...yeah, I'm starting to feel more confident in drawing people. :']

My question is: what is Steve Rogers’s body count? … We don’t talk about that a lot because he’s an American Hero ™ and American Heroes don’t ever actually kill people even when they’re, you know, soldiers in the actual fucking Army.  The American Hero has to show mercy and give everybody a second chance and any time the Bad Guy dies, it has to be because he made a mistake that lead to his own death.  The hero can never actually just fucking murder him in our stories because that would be wrong and a true American would never do something like that.

So, like, has Steve Rogers ever shot a dude in the face?  Has he ever snapped anybody’s neck?  Has he ever been struggling for his own life and used his shield to take a life?

If you have either canon comics knowledge or just Opinions and Feelings, please feel free to share.  Because, like, dude was a soldier in WWII on the European Front fighting Nazis, kicking open doors with gun literally blazing, so he’s obviously killed people, but we never discuss this.  How does Steve reconcile killing?  Does he feel guilt?  Is he comfortable with his actions?  Has he killed people since he got pulled out of the ice?  How does he feel about taking human lives?  Does he talk to anybody about it?  Does he just internalize it and let it eat him up inside?

Fic that appears to be an AU where the characters have a little low stakes meet cute and are having a sweet little romance, only for it to be revealed that no, this is in-universe and they both have amnesia and all the other characters are trying to find them and are losing their fucking shit

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.

Vision: Mr. Stark always accuses me of having a favorite human.

Vision: That’s not true. I love Wanda and Not-Wandas equally.

when I was 14 I worked in a grocery store and one day I got to bag Stephen King’s groceries and of course, being the little horror fiction nerd I am I was completely starstruck

I think he thought I was gonna ask for an autograph because I was not even lowkey staring I was full on moon-faced and bouncing and he kept looking over at me hesitantly like aw jeez kid fuck off

anyways I finally managed to squeak out that I was a huge fan and asked for advice on writing, “how do I write as well as you do?” in my horrible thick German accent and broken ass English and he gave me the best writing advice I have ever received

“shit kid, stop worrying about how other people do it and just write your story”

14 years later my wife and I nearly hit him with our car because he was jaywalking

If your girlfriend's ex wants to visit from Phoenix you do not buy him a plane ticket- A lesson on why exactly that is- featuring chronically-attracted-to-dumbass Bobbi Morse, third-wheeling-his-own-relationship Lance Hunter, and Clint Barton, evil seductress.

There's sometimes a trend in fanfic where Steve is written as louder and more clumsy or bad at stealth compared to Natasha or Bucky.

I've read many where Natasha claims he wouldn't be good on a stealth mission.

I think that comes from the scene right after he gets the serum and he's running through the city, stumbling and crashing into things as he gets used to his new body.

But we see from his mission into the Hydra factory, the stealthy take down of Batroc's men on the ship in Winter Soldier, and his ambush of the Raft in Civil War that Steve very quickly and consistently is able to move quietly and stealthily, so I think that's a misconception.

I think Steve can be scarily quiet when he wants to be. Maybe he uses the preconceived idea of his stealth capabilities to his advantage and catches people off-guard when such a large man moves so quietly.
