Steve, who usually sees T’Challa during formal occasions: the self-control and composure shown by that man is an inspiration to all of us. 

Bucky, who actually lives in Wakanda: yesterday he fell out of a window because his fiancee smiled at him, but okay.

Sometimes I just kinda wanna cry because in the MCU, Steven Grant Rogers:

  • Was violently bullied throughout his childhood and into adulthood.
  • Watched his mother waste away and die.
  • Was an orphan by his mid-to-late teens.
  • Grew up in poverty, during the Great Depression, as the child of immigrants .
  • Grew up color-blind, partially-deaf, malnourished/stunted, and chronically-ill, in a culture that was so big on eugenics that Nazis took their cues from the US systems.
  • Signed up for the army and then dove on what he believed to be a live grenade because he believed the best use of his life was to exchange it for the lives of others.
  • Fought on the front lines of the bloodiest and most horrific war in human history, where he undoubtedly witnessed terrible violence and atrocities.
  • Watched his best friend die and lived with the guilt of believing he was responsible.
  • Crashed a plane into the ocean, fully believing he was going to die.
  • Was frozen alive.
  • Woke up to find that nearly everyone he’d ever known was dead and gone, and his home was changed nearly beyond recognition; he could never truly go home from the war. Ever.
  • Lost his shot at happiness with the one woman who ever actually looked at him when he was small and frail, and had to watch her mind come apart, and later carry her coffin.
  • Found out his sacrifice – the thing he gave up his life, his friends, his whole world for – was in vain, and that HYDRA had corrupted the legacy of the people he loved.
  • Found out his best friend survived, and that he’d abandoned him to a fate worse than death, and got to then live with THAT fresh guilt.
  • Is seen by most people as Captain America; almost no one sees Steve Rogers.
  • Was only 26 years old, biologically, during the Battle of New York. 
  • Has not had the time or resources to cope with any of this.

All of this is true, but most importantly:

* Despite everything is still a feisty lil shit with a lot of righteous anger and a wicked sense of humour who will fight for what is right rather than for the letter of the law.

museum curator, watching steve waltz into the smithsonian, the memory of having the stolen cap america authentic howling commando era uniform returned dirty and ridden with bullet holes still fresh in their mind: hide the VALUABLES

steve, reaching over the rope to poke at something on display: it’s my goddamn stuff???

#I work with enough  museum curators to be able to accurately picture their looks of absolute dead-eyed horror#at this meat-handed man pawing through the objects they’ve spent decades preserving#BUT ALSO IT’S HIS GODDAMN STUFF#so the mental image of the incredibly stiff and stilted surface-level polite conversation Steve would have with Smithsonian staff#both of them vibrating with indignation but unable to fully express it for PR reasons#is an endless source of entertainment for me via galwedenesday

#ah yes #the joys of attempting to figure out how to deaccession a bunch of shit#that previously belonged in the ‘no living claims’ category#and has for DECADES #what i would not give to see that paper trail tho#like was everything of Steve’s now owned by the Army upon being declared KIA and they donated it to the Smithsonian or what#MINUTIAE OF MUSEUM WORK IN THE MCU I WANT TO KNOW DAMMIT#like the museum has HAD to have dealt with fraudulent claims before so they’d have everything but ‘The Actual Original Owner’ showing up#locked down #okay but also #how long have they had this shit#when was any of this declassified via afearsomecritter

I’M SAYIN’, every single level of management at the Smithsonian must have had an extensively well-documented migraine after dealing with the colossal shitshow raised by such thrilling items as “sock (woolen)” pulled from the pack of one “Rogers, Steve G., 1918 – 1945 lol whoops he’s back″
