battle couples has gotta be one of my favorite tropes though. The “you got me?” “Yeah, I got you.” The kiss for good luck. Fighting alongside each other for so long they know every strength and weakness. The dichotomy of being fucking terrifying to their enemies, but so soft with each other. When one is in danger and the other goes feral, protects them at any cost. When everything is over and done, it’s all “let me see where you’re hurt,” and washing off the dirt and blood.
TFYM IT DOESN'T?????
THERE'S A WHOLE MUSICAL ABOUT IT
I smile like an idiot when I see my man, who’s not my man, on my television screen.
something i keep experiencing
The fandom has mostly died here on Tumblr, we can all admit that.
But the reason, some of us most likely won't admit is because after Endgame, the MCU became more female and POC focused. Your average white guy like Chris Evans, RDJ and Sebastian Stan (all whom I love) aren't the center anymore and a lot of people don't like it.
It started with Captain Marvel and people shitting on it because Brie Larson was the lead. The movie was good. People still don't want to accept Sam as Cap even though Steve gave him the shield, he had a whole ass show and when Chris came back to a Marvel movie it was as Johnny Storm, not Cap. Let's not start with the hate the Eternals got, the movie with what was arguably the most diverse cast. (They scrapped Eternals 2 because of it.) Plus all of the other Marvel shows which have women and/or POC leads
Marvel isn't dead; y'all just racist and misogynistic.
Be delivered.
Be careful of Asexuals y'all, I heard they aren't fucking around
"Bucky After The Great SamBucky Breakup" moodboard
listen. i know it's not 2014 anymore and i know it's just a throwaway line and that the russo brothers didnt intend for marvel action blockbuster captain america the winter soldier to become the tragic gay love story that never was but man. having steve say "it's kind of hard to find someone with shared life experience" in a conversation about romantic relationships right before the bucky reveal is so cruel. it's not just about steve and bucky obviously having the shared experience of being "out of time," it's the fact that they've both been stripped of their humanity in opposite directions. steve is a legend, he is an american hero and a national icon before he is a human being the same way that bucky is a weapon and a killing machine before he is a human being. steve knows that anyone who falls in love with him in the 21st century fell in love with captain america first, and that's just not him. but then the one person who knew him first and knew him best and loved him (not captain america, that little guy from brooklyn) so much he died for it is alive, impossibly. and it's a miracle because he's back and it's horrific because he's back under the worst possible circumstances. but to steve, the winter soldier is worth tearing the world apart for because he's always been bucky first. they find each other and suddenly they're human again. and maybe, despite it all, being "out of time" becomes a blessing, because in this century they'd finally be allowed to love each other the way they've always wanted to. like real people do.
like. no. the captain america trilogy isn't about two queer men traumatized and alienated by war and modern life rediscovering and reclaiming their humanity through their love for each other. but. i mean. it couldve been
