“And these are your only two options?”

How many times do you think Peggy has looked at a no-win scenario in her life and said those exact words? 

Growing up she learned she could either be a mother or a wife. Trying to help the war effort she learned she could either be a nurse or work in weapons production. In 1946 she was told she could either become a glorified secretary or find a job outside intelligence.

Peggy Carter spends her entire life finding ways to circumvent the box. She’s looked society in the face, and over and over again she’s challenged it, questioned it, and outsmarted it, even triumphed over it. And it’s because she has the audacity, always, to raise her eyebrow and refuse to be silenced, and because she isn’t ever too afraid to ask the question that matters to her most: and these are your only two options?

This is glorious because, well… I know women like this. We all do. We all know women who look at the shit choices life has given them and say: Are these my only options? I will make my own then. And this is why Peggy is my fav. She is kick ass and brilliant and walks into a room and everyone turns. But also she is a hero that I can relate to, believe in, strive to become. She looks at the world around her and says, I want better, I deserve better and she changes the rules of the game. And while she’s doing it, she’ll inspire you to do the same for yourself.

Now that’s a hero I’ll follow into battle any day, because she’s real and if I watch her closely, she’ll teach me how to lead the next time.

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!” 

(There is a readmore below. Read more!)

@spoopy-miakitty !!!!!!!!!!

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.”

Vintage Leverage. The post-war economy boom provides many advantages for soldiers coming home and their families, but it also increases the number of companies, as well despicable individuals, who prey on innocents. Veterans who were promised education and business loans, but fell victims to scams; women losing their jobs on false pretenses; families robbed of insurance money. They had no one to turn to, until a group of former soldiers assembled an unusual team specializing in recovering compensation for their victimized clients. Staging elaborate cons, they provide… leverage.
