two days ago my asthmatic roommate ran five miles, then went to vote early (and fight fascism). Whilst at the polling place, she passed out from patriotic fervor and dehydration. She cracked her head on the corner of the voting booth. THEN she tried to get up to make sure that her ballot got scanned properly. Polling place attendants had to tell her to stay the eff down until the EMTs got there.
she did all this while wearing her captain america tee shirt.

you should totally rewatch the first movie and pay close attention to what Steve’s face does. Or doesn’t do. Because Steve is not a puppy dog, Steve does not wear his heart on his sleeve, Steve is still and steady and tries so very hard not to be easy to read because Steve’s life is pain he cannot share for fear of having his personhood literally revoked. Steve is stand-offish. Steve sees that you’re angry with him and flatly makes light of what he’s doing that’s pissing you off. Steve will give one-word answers to shut you down. Steve doesn’t meet your eyes until he’s finished speaking. Steve rarely smiles and when he does, they’re rarely bright–they’re small and mostly in the crinkle of his eyes and god forbid you make him smile when you’re arguing with him because then they’re sharp and bitter just like his laughter.
Steve Rogers starts fights. Steve Rogers lies to your face. Steve Rogers stands as straight as he can with his crooked spine because he refuses to let you assume he can’t. Steve Rogers is not a golden retriever, he is a sickly, pissy little cat who will bite the shit out of you for trying to pet him.
Even though it’s January, and the stove really does nothing against the cold this time of the year, Bucky feels warm. He lies with Steve’s bony elbows and knees poking into him, and for the first time in months, he falls asleep, content.
[MY ART] More stevebuckynat. My ot3. So it’s going to be 2 years between cap 2 and cap 3, both in the real world and the movie timeline. Where was Bucky hiding (or rather why…)
and because my handwriting is terrible, the bottom thought bubbles say: “I mean I did shoot both my exes…AWKWARD. Even thought it was Hydra that made me do it. I’d never choose to, didn’t know if you’d understand that… This is still too awkward. I want to hide for 2 more years…”
