Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

Anonymous asked: Top 5 headcanons, preferably Stevebucky related but really any marvel ones actually :)

drop-deaddream-deactivated20160:

1. Steven Grant “Old Man” Rogers (“Well golly gee,” he bitches, deadpan)

2. Steve & Nat having to share warmth on some kind of cold weather mission (please take a moment to picture Tasha curled up and huddled in his huge man arms because they’re best friends I’m dying) 

3. Actual New Yorker Steve Rogers. Occasional rage when driving an actual car. Yelling at cabs when they almost run him over and/or splash water in his direction. (“WHADDAYA DOIN, HUH? JESUS!”) Pastrami on rye. If the cheesecake isn’t six inches tall it isn’t a goddamn cheesecake. Balking at Chicago style pizza, which he actually may not have known about, considering it was first made when he was at war. Super nice to tourists. Super disgusted when Stark plans a weekend at the Shore. And finally, Food Trucks: The Autobiography Of an American Hero. 

4. Steve actually acting his age, re: sitting somewhere bored with his chin propped on his hand and messing with filters on insta, one shameful post-gym selfie at a time. Sometimes he ends up slouched in a chair, texting, oblivious to everything else. On this note, Steve fitting in DISTURBINGLY WELL with the current population of like 60% of Brooklyn, that is to say, hipster humanities majors  

5. Steve Rogers actually speaking the way an asshole kid raised in Brooklyn in the early/mid 20th century who then graduated to the Army would speak (stubbing his toe getting food in the middle of the night, like, “Jesus motherfucking Christ, fuck me, fuck”)

6. For that matter, Bucky talking that way (“What the fuck is this?” he demands, staring horrorstruck at the deep dish pizza in front of him. “What the shit is this, asshole?”)

There are going to be ten, I’m sorry

7. Natasha paints her toenails purple and her feet are always cold and every time she’s on the couch w/Clint she shoves her feet under his thighs

8. Steve listens to Turn Down For What literally a disturbing amount of times a day

9. Bucky missed Sinatra by one year and promptly falls head over heels for his voice in a totally no homo way and plays his music nonstop and hums it when he’s in the field

10. My absolute favorite headcanon, mostly because it’s 100% going to BE canon, is that everyone just thinks Steve and Bucky are incredibly fucking weird. And it’s not really because of the trauma or the fact that they’re collectively over 200 years old or any of that. It’s the fact that they’re fucking weird. Sometimes they just stare at each other. They literally just stare at each other, for like, hours. Sometimes Steve has to look away dramatically and blink back man tears. Are they telepathic? Is that it? Sam doesn’t have time for this. And they’re weirdly violent for each other. It’s creepy. Tony wonders what they get each other for holidays, and then decides to stop thinking about it. It’s probably the still-beating hearts of Hydra operatives.

Steve’s line of “I don’t think I can afford a place in Brooklyn” concerns me.

He’s Captain America and he can’t afford an apartment in Brooklyn?! Does he not get a salary? Are any of the Avengers being paid since SHIELD’s downfall? Are they all worried about making their rent each month?! Is Steve doing commencement speeches for extra cash? Is Natasha doing some spy-work on the side? Do they save the world by day and carefully plan their grocery budget at night?!? 

Steve spent it all on that Gucci suit he’s wearing for the funeral scene of Civil War.

Seriously though, someone needs to write that fanfic - the Avengers and their side jobs. Natasha’s teaching women’s self-defense classes down at the local YMCA, Steve gets a job at Barnes and Noble so he can read all the books on his breaks, meanwhile:

*Clint’s Avengers communication devise buzzes*

Clint: “Tony, hang on a sec” 

muffled in the background: “with pepperoni, anchovies, and extra cheese”

Tony: “Clint, are you working at Pizza Hut?”

Clint: “Free pizza, Tony. Free. Pizza.”

give me natasha with this quirky, weird-ass sense of humor because she has no idea how to connect with people and she had to learn from clint barton of all people

Okay but seriously the MCU missed its chance to establish tony and steve as friends, and in the trailer when Steve says “but he’s my friend” and tony says “so was i” there is absolutely no actual emotional impact to it. But imagine natasha saying that, imagine steve saying “i’m sorry nat; you know i wouldn’t do this if i had any other choice, but bucky’s my friend” and natasha saying “so was i” like just imagine Natasha playing the lead in civil war instead of iron man, imagine marvel getting over its sexism long enough to recognize that absolutely no one cares that steve and tony are fighting but everyone cares steve and nat are just imagine

I genuinely feel like more people are angry about Nat and Steve possibly being on opposite sides than Tony & Steve.  After the last two Avengers movies, people EXPECT IT, even though Tony’s approach doesn’t make a hell of a lot of sense when you look at his behaviour in the last 5 movies.  No one is like, THIS IS A HUGE BETRAYAL.  Everyone is like, LOL THIS AGAIN!!??

Meanwhile, I feel like Natasha’s approach to superhero registration and restraint would be SO COMPLEX.  Natasha understanding the inherent danger of people who have near unlimited power and little control, but also understanding the inherent danger of the mechanism of the state, of the kind of corruption that comes with political and bureaucratic power.  And having been a VICTIM OF IT.

And after CA:TWS, knowing the goodness inside of Steve, of the debt she feels to him.  Of wanting to be on his side because of both friendship and, I believe, genuine affection for a man she deeply respects, especially when it comes to his loyalty.  But also being a logical creature who is trying to make sure the kind of carnage she has both seen and committed herself is put to a stop.

NOW THAT WOULD BE A FUCKING HEARTBREAKING SCHISM.  Add in Clint, and WOW SHOULD NATASHA EVER HAVE BEEN THE OTHER LEAD IN THIS.

Every single goddamn time I think I’ve at least gotten on with my life despite my continuing rage about how Natasha “Too Good For This Shit” Romanoff has been treated by the movies, y’all assholes bring up something like this and I am sO ANGRY ALL OVER AGAIN.

You know how in Agent Carter we saw the Red Room girls learning about American culture by watching and reciting along with Snow White?

Please consider: the Red Room, fifty or sixty years later, Natasha one of many girls obediently imitating It’s Patsy!

Idealized American Dream (and, let’s note, pointedly ginger-haired) Patsy on the screen, while tiny murderprincess Natasha Romanoff silently mouths the words, thinking I have to be able to become this while fervently desiring not to, while on the other side of the camera Trish Walker is doing almost the exact same thing.

Let’s talk about Natasha Romanoff.
Let’s talk about her NOT being Hydra.
About the fact that a notoriously skilled ex-KGB agent joined SHIELD, and Hydra decided not to recruit her.
Something about her behavior before or immediately after she defected to SHIELD tipped them off that she wouldn’t join Hydra if they revealed themselves to her, that there was nothing they could offer her that she wanted more than she wanted to join SHIELD.
Let’s talk about how from the first days of her redemption arc this ruthless assassin displayed morals that told Hydra they couldn’t take her in, and skills that showed they couldn’t take her out.
Marvel still hasn’t given us a Black Widow prequel to show us why, but Natasha Romanoff wasn’t Hydra and I think we should talk about that.

natasha romanoff is the kind of person who could kill you with her bare hands if she had to but she is also probably the kind of person who would purposely take the squeaky chair and wobble on it and drive everyone crazy
