Actually, according to the 1923 Supreme Court interpretation of the Naturalization Act, you could also become a naturalized citizen if you were of African descent. 1924 was when Native Americans were included. Gotta exclude those Asiatics, though. But this is too complicated to put in that one line so… yeah.
I wanted Steve and Bucky to be in more worker strikes, but apparently the biggest ones in NYC were either immediately post-WWII, or in 1911 following the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, and most of the protestors were Jewish women who worked in the garment industry. (And lbr, they totally missed the Civil Rights movement.)
Here’s the quick Wikipedia link to the child labor thing. 🙂 I learned so much making this comic!
Happy Birthday, Steve. The world is not that great right now, both here and in Marvel-verse, but let’s keep on trucking.
some drawings of scenes from @scifigrl47‘s Tales of the Bots fic series, which I can only describe as Wholesome and Good and worth the read if you like tony stark and robots that are suddenly kids.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
OH GOD THESE ARE ADORABLE. LOOK AT DJ’S WONDERFUL FACES. THEY ARE SO WONDERFUL.
Sebastian Stan on the set of Avengers: Infinity War (x)
You cannot convince me that Eliot Spencer isn’t Bucky’s grandson.
😳
HEADCANNON ACCEPTED.
Look, I’m not saying that this is 100% the sort of fic that @copperbadge would write except that is exactly what I’m saying
HAPPY SATURDAY
Parker and Hardison knew Elliot had finally settled when he disappeared for a couple of days and returned with a carefully packed crate of herb plants in decorative pots and a small fireproof safe full of photographs.
Well, technically they knew he’d really settled when he unpacked the photographs and hung them up in the kitchen. (By this time Parker had already accidentally killed the paprika plant.)
“Who’s that?” she asked, sitting on the counter, watching Elliot carefully hang a photograph of a beautiful, dangerous-looking woman next to the refrigerator (far from the heat and splatters of the stove).
“Granny Peggy,” Elliot said, and gave no extra information, as if the name itself was sufficient.
“Your grandma?” Parker asked.
“Sorta how Hardison’s Nana is,” Elliot said.
“I hear my name?” Hardison yelled from the other room.
“Come look, Elliot’s Sharing Things,” Parker called. Hardison’s head popped into the kitchen.
“Like snacks?”
“Look, that’s his Granny Peggy,” Parker pointed.
Hardison stared at Elliot. “You are Peggy Carter’s grandson?” he asked.
“No! We just called her that. Also how the hell do you know who Peggy Carter is?” Elliot said, at the same time Parker squeaked, “I thought Peggy Carter was a myth!”
I NEED A WHOLE MULTICHAPTER FIC OF THEIR EMAIL CORRESPONDENCES
Elliot: Are you aware that when you email me, the profile picture that pops up is Kermit the Frog in a cowl?
Bucky: Who’s Kermit the Frog?
Elliot: How do I even explain this.
Shuri: HOLD MY COCA COLA
Then Shuri and Hardison make a Prezi of all the pop culture Bucky missed. Elliot makes Parker attend as well. There is a multiple-choice exam and also an essay portion. Parker wrote hers on “Why do we even have the hula hoop if we’re not allowed to use it to rob museums” and Bucky did his on “Video killed the radio star but podcasts will have their revenge.”
Like, his plane went down *somewhere* and wasn’t found for 70 years. There had to be some Amelia Earhart type people who believed that he landed in Newfoundland and was a cod fisherman that knew their grandpappy.
Ever few years someone would find some scrap metal on a sandbar in the North Atlantic and there would be a flurry of analysis and 14 hours of CNN coverage trying to figure out if THIS is where Cap died.
There are undated, blurry pictures of a tall, jacked blond man in Germany because Cap NEVER LEFT! He became Nikita Kruschev! He was Laika!
A water landing is most likely, and some people have stories about a malnourished man who washed up in Wales in the 40s who quietly raised goats with his giant muscles.
Maybe he was DB Cooper?
And then, in 2012 or whatever, they find his plane and he’s not only IN it, he’s alive?? The conspiracy nuts have a field day. CapAintDead420 on the conspiracy boards has been saying for YEARS that he’s being kept on ice in a secret government bunker in Antarctica and she is VINDICATED.
People are way too weird to just accept that he was dead, even in he MCU, and we all know it.
Other MCU conspiracy theories:
The government was breeding the space whales in a bunker under the Great Lakes
That’s not the real Cap, the cloned him using asgardian technology
Tony Stark did 9/11
Bucky Barnes was the shooter on the grassy knoll
Wakanda only pretends to be poor, they have amazing technology (this was started by Shuri for kicks)
Spider-Man is a Russian agent that’s why he wears RED
The Asgardian Shadow Government is controlling the populace and breeding humans for experiments/meat
SHIELD is actually in charge of the One World Government and wrote the Sokovia Accords because the super heroes refused to assassinate the president in IM3
