You push and you work hard, you stay positive and eventually all the stars sort of align.

Before Bruce is officially Uncle Bruce, before he’s married and a father, he’s Dot’s not-quite godfather, and they go on dates.

Tony starts it, of course, demanding biweekly goddaughter time and “allowing the dads time to screw like bunny rabbits” (his words, never uttered in Dot’s three-year-old presence). They have tea parties and go to movies, they watch cartoons and play dress-up, and one weekend, Bruce tags along to an ice cream parlor with them.

Two weeks later, he’s unshaven and in his pajamas when Tony Stark walks into his house with his goddaughter on his hip. Her face is wet. Bruce is confused.

“She wants you to come,” Tony says, flapping a hand. “She says you have to come from now on because you came last time, and she’s crying, so I think—”

“Bruce,” Dot half-whines, and reaches for him. He plucks her out of Tony’s grip, and she clings around his neck. “You hafta come too.”

Her voice is slurred from crying. Worse, Tony looks panicked.

“Can I get dressed?” he asks, and both his friend and the toddler relax before they agree.

They go to a place where you can decorate pottery, and then to lunch, and then to the park. Tony takes a million pictures, and Bruce only rolls his eyes twice.

(When Dot’s eight, she hears the story for the first time—and laughs. “I just knew you had to be together forever,” she decides.

“You’re a menace,” Tony retorts, but he also leans against Bruce like he’s glad to have a menace in their lives.)

The cybernetic arm is heavy and gives Bucky a lot of muscle pain in his neck, shoulders, and upper back. Steve does what he can to help with that.

For once I’m actually happy with how Sebastian Stan’s face turned out in one of my drawings! Although my fav thing to draw in this pic was the metal arm…

I’m at least 50% reblogging this because that massage looks really nice.

@teslamaple

Just reread your blue-eyed boys, which has a bunch of Steve massaging knots out of Bucky that he gets from the weight of the arm, and this turned up on my dash like a perfect counterpart.

5-Year-Old With Autism Paints Stunning Masterpieces 

Autism is a poorly-understood neurological disorder that can impair an individual’s ability to engage in various social interactions. But little 5-year-old Iris Grace in the UK is an excellent example of the unexpected gifts that autism can also grant – her exceptional focus and attention to detail have helped her create incredibly beautiful paintings that many of her fans (and buyers) have likened to Monet’s works.

Little Iris is slowly learning to speak, whereas most children have already begun to speak at least a few words by age 2. Along with speech therapy, her parents gradually introduced her to painting, which is when they discovered her amazing talent.

“We have been encouraging Iris to paint to help with speech therapy, joint attention and turn taking,” her mother, Arabella Carter-Johnson, explains on her website. “Then we realised that she is actually really talented and has an incredible concentration span of around 2 hours each time she paints. Her autism has created a style of painting which I have never seen in a child of her age, she has an understanding of colours and how they interact with each other.”

Much better version of the same subject matter I posted earlier.

That is a trufax autistic artistic magical girl and her cat familiar. Paint on, little sister!

Here’s my entry I drew for the Steve/Bucky Brooklyn zine, which I am now allowed to share as all the copies have been shipped (:

I really love the idea of the Winter Soldier hallucinating a pre-serum Steve, because whatever Steve says is a projection of what Bucky Barnes really wants the Winter Soldier to hear.
