you know what would have been awesome? if natasha had gone up disguised as a basic white dude and then kicked ass WITH councilwoman hadley (who turned out to be an insider for fury)
and when nick needed someone else for the retinal scan? sharon carter shows up, supporting her elderly aunt. she smiles at fury, her former protege, and apologizes for being late.
I want her to be the ultra-sophisticated super-smooth and accomplished sophomore who takes Pepper under her wing at Harvard, makes sure Tony and Rhodey don’t work themselves to death at MIT, chats with Gene in Mandarin (okay, YELLS AT GENE in Mandarin when he’s being a dick), and opens a fashion house with Whitney in her spare time. And is also a badass winged size-shifting superhero.
Meanwhile, MIT junior Hank Pym can’t get his shit together long enough to talk to her, let alone ask her out, which is a total running joke all season.
I really wish we’d had a third season of Armored Adventures with new heroes and Steve getting defrosted and Howard continuing to be the only affectionate, supportive, well-adjusted Howard Stark in any canon anywhere.
Sam. Sam. SAM. I need this. The world needs this. You need to write this. For yourself. For the internet. For the universe. I am not above manipulating you in your medicated state. DO IT.
excuse you but this is an amazing headcanon and i’m in the process of putting it in my back pocket and stealing it RIGHT NOW
because you KNOW natasha knew something was up when fury gave the order for her to steal the info from the pirated ship, even though fury didn’t tell her anything bc he didn’t trust her (sob)
so natasha probably did a little digging of her own, didn’t get far but she knows enough that there’s a faction of shield that shouldn’t be trusted, and when rumlow comes to get steve, he wasn’t going to walk out of the triskilion so free and easy
it takes her all of two minutes to hack twitter, tumblr, instagram. she blows up the #captainamerica tag and all variations thereof with a new meme. it’s a picture of steve’s face she’d snapped when tony had said something particularly egregious and she calls it BACK IN MY DAY STEVE
(a popular one reads: BACK IN MY DAY WE DIDN’T HAVE YOUR UNNATURAL VACCINES/WE JUST HAD POLIO AND IT SUCKED)
she buys three packets of bubble gum and chews it, pacing the floors of the hospital. steve’s late so she gets another tag going, #captainameriBOOTY, tagging a picture of a shirtless blonde runner with shooort patriotic running shorts with steve’s name and a quick, capslocked-blurb about a sighting of the captain ameriBOOTY!!
that one goes viral in 20 minutes when TMZ picks it up.
she’s in the middle of writing a script that’ll indiscriminately tag porn, food and pictures of puppies with #steve rogers and #captain america when steve finally makes his appearance
This was not made for me at all, I cannot claim that privilege, but I am totally headcanoning that that is Bucky with Robbie from my Bits and Pieces series and you can’t tell me any different.
I really need to read or write the canon-divergent story where Steve realizes that the Winter Soldier is a victim before he realizes that the Winter Soldier is Bucky Barnes. Steve sees an equal — another super-soldier — and understands that he’s never had the choices Steve got; where so many of Steve’s friends think it’s crazy, but Steve decides to save him, anyway.
(And the Winter Soldier wants to trust this man — this target — who’s offering help, and kindness, even though he has got no idea why).
It’s reckless, and borderline suicidal, but Steve does it — Steve finds a way to offer the Winter Soldier a way out from HYDRA, to give him protection, Steve defends him from everyone who says that he is a monster — without having ever even seen his face.
Because Steve Rogers sees the best in everyone, and I want the AU where it is that quality that brings him back the person he loves most in the world. The AU where Steve takes the muzzle-mask off the Winter Soldier’s face the first time that the Winter Soldier lets him come close enough, and finds Bucky Barnes.
Marvel story arc where Ultron comes back but accidentally downloaded like a zillion different fanfics with one of Kamala Khan’s most popular fics being his fucking plan to take over the Earth
So the Avengers have to run around with Kamala like “Okay what happens next” and Kamala is just “Oh god they’ll never trust the fandom ever again this is going to horrifying”
Yesterday, I went to Disneyland. Apparently, at their Innovations building, there is a HUGE Avengers exhibit, complete with appearances by Captain America and Thor. Naturally, I ran screaming into said building, camera at the ready. After falling on the ground in front of the array of Iron Man suits and bursting into tears at the Steve Rogers exhibit (exactly like the Smithsonian one in TWS) I got in line to meet the Star-Spangled Man. (The workers were all awesome, they loved that I was such a nerd and so unbelievably excited to meet the Captain.)
My purse has a large Doctor Who pin on it, (not pictured) and the camera man for Steve pointed at it, looked at Cap, and was like “Look at this, it says something about she’s a Doctor?” and Cap points at it and goes “Oh, that looks like a blue police box!” so I said, (I was speechless guys I literally am such a dweeb) “It is.” and he said “When I was in England doing an Op in 1942, I was stuck in a burning building and a man named John Smith pulled me out of the building, and then ran into a blue police box just like that and disappeared. Do you know if this has anything to do with that?"
I DON’T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT I SAID IN RESPONSE. YOU GUYS. THE CAPTAIN AMERICA AT DISNEYLAND WATCHES DOCTOR WHO. HARDCORE REFERENCED DOCTOR WHO. KNEW ABOUT THE WHOLE JOHN SMITH ALIAS THING. CAPTAIN AMERICA WATCHES DOCTOR WHO. I AM IN TEARS REMEMBERING ALL OF THIS.
anyways, we took pictures, i cried when i walked out, thought you all ought to know. the end.
