The movie is about…as he struggles to find an identity in the modern world, his old life is slipping away – is hanging on by a thread. Peggy doesn’t remember him… and she’ll be dead soon. She’s the last remnant of his past. And Sam happens to find his way into his life, so now he’s slowly meeting a new friend, he’s gaining a trust with Widow…so the movie is about a journey for him as he finds new elements in the modern world to emotionally attach himself to. The cruel twist is that, the Winter Soldier shows up…and it’s like the past punching him in the face.” — Joe Russo [x]

seriously, i mean if nothing else peggy has a video in the cap exhibit, that shot of the picture of her in his compass is probably legendary, and natasha is a smart smart woman.

plus y’know. she’s not even looking at the picture for more than half a second when she asks. She’s looking at STEVE.

This was always my head canon. She’s feeling him out. She keeps getting excuses why not, why he won’t date these girls, and there’s that cutie at the park that she saw Steve hanging out with, and she thought, oh, hello, maybe Cap’s batting for the other team, but then she sees his face in this scene and dares to ask, and his reaction is enough to answer. He’s not gay, though he might be equal opportunity in the sexuality department and regardless, he’s too messed up still to really be ready to talk about Peggy. Because unlike Bucky, who died and he mourned even though it was just for a short while, Peggy is still alive and Steve still feels fidelity to her, even though it’s been a lifetime for her, and she didn’t pine away alone but had a family.

What it was going to be, we were trying to complicate the relationship between Cap and his S.H.I.E.L.D agent friends. If Hawkeye got a call from S.H.I.E.L.D saying Captain America is a fugitive, would he listen to that call or not listen to that call? That sequence actually was heartbreaking for us to cut it. I think it ultimately might have been a conflict with Renner’s schedule. But there was a great sequence where Hawkeye was chasing Cap through Washington D.C. there was an awesome sequence where they confronted each other in a ravine on the outskirts of D.C. and Hawkeye was shooting a series of arrows closing in on Cap, Cap closing in on him. And then Cap took him down and he realized for the first time that Hawkeye was trying to trick S.H.I.E.L.D, where he whispered something into Cap’s ear that Cap had a tracker on his suit and to punch Hawkeye to make it look real, because there was a Quinjet hovering above where they were watching the feedback back at S.H.I.E.L.D. So it was a cool sequence.

omg for real? whyyy? i wish that hadn’t been cut. :(((((

I really wish it hadn’t been cut, too, but I don’t think that anything they did with the film makes this canon-incompatible, so I’m just adding it to the head canon I’ve already amassed.

“You always were.”

Story it’s from  Specific chapter

A messed up #86 from the Fallen Zepher Palette

I always remember that Steve was the first one to pick DJ up, the first human to human contact that DJ had, because Tony was still in a state of “WTF WHY IS THAT HERE DON’T TOUCH IT IT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS OH GOD WHAT DO I DO HERE?” and Steve’s immediate response was, ‘crying kid = pick him up.’

I think DJ remembers that.  That in that moment of fear and uncertainty, when he didn’t know who he was and he was absolutely getting assaulted with sensory information that he had no way to process, Steve picked him up and wrapped him in a blanket and held him until he stopped crying.
