I Know That A Lot Of People Use Fanfiction And Fandom As An Escape Mechanism For The Heavy Things But

the stars like to sing ^^

who up hating pop psychology

I've had this idea for a post-endgame au where, instead of living with Peggy and abandoning both Bucky and Sam, Steve goes back in time, has a long talk with her where she allows him to open up about everything emotionally and then convinces him that him living out the life he does have in the future is worth it, and that she's happy. This causes Steve to still quit being captain america and still give the shield to Sam, but now he fakes his death to get completely out of the radar of whatever HYDRA agents are left, plus the government, and operate as the new director Fury-type figure for the new age of avengers.

Since the Sam!CA suit has primarily white as the base color, I decided to keep the blue for Steve. It's meant to look like he took the suit he wore in IW (the Nomad suit) and stripped the armor, the stars and stripes, and adopted golden yellow as an accent color. I tried to make a lot of tie-ins to other characters who would definitely be important to Steve (like the stars on his collar representing people he's lost, almost like he's carrying them with him.) since he seems like the type of person to do that, especially now that he's no longer being the representative of patriotism and isn't isolated solely to the classic costume due to other people deciding what he's be wearing.

The gloves are both a reference to the original "The Captain" suit

And a reference to the HYDRA Arm Bucky used in Winter Soldier and Civil War, with the dark red star only on one had while the other glove only has an embossed star in the leather.

The pattern on the back is low-key a nod to Steve "turning his back" on the old ideals of Captain America, since he's been burned by the US government enough to fully distrust them and believe their way of working is wrong (sokovia accords, anyone?), but its also a nod to Sam "having his back" (I love puns in character design)

The thigh holster was purely fanservice (for me, i am my biggest fan, that's why i highlighted his chest with the faux-corset design and highlighted his massive cake) and in-universe i think Bucky would've fought for that to be a part of Steve's costume.

I'll probably do more with this au in the future but i'm a little tied-up with doing sound mixing for Newsies JR right now and also balancing writing my own batfam x reader for the first time.

Meows morales would do this 100%

I think what the biggest kick in the teeth is with the watcher announcement- at least for me- is knowing that they are NOT Netflix OR Hulu. they do not have enough content to hold an entire streaming service on their back. I get why they’re doing it and that just worries me more. They’re trying to make more money to support their growing company but they just aren’t Dropout, Netflix, or Hulu. With the big buck streaming services, they have enough content beyond their original series to keep people watching (ignoring the fact that most big boy services have needed to switch gears in their monetization to keep going) but watcher does not have that. in order for this change to work even remotely on their end, they’d need to kick into high gear and make more content. Like fast. Someone else pointed out that they’ve got a “two episode per month” schedule and that absolutely will not work for a streaming service. and of course everything I’ve mentioned is on their end, not even taking into consideration how many people are very visibly angry by this. What happens when they don’t have enough people sign up? 

what a kick in the pants.

do you think Eurydice spent the rest of her afterlife knowing Orpheus only looked back because he loved her

do you think that even after she forgot everything else, like she did in Flowers, she still knew that someone loved her so much they’d risk everything for her

do you think Persephone sometimes looks at Eurydice and sees herself. Maybe Hades was the one to grant Eurydice the mercy of knowing that she was loved, even after she forgets her own name.

Maybe it was Orpheus who wrote their song, so that he wouldn’t be the only mortal to have known of Eurydice and how much they loved each other. Maybe that’s why Hadestown paints Orpheus in the way it does, because he can’t help but think of how his distraction pushed Eurydice down that path. And that’s why Hermes sings it, because he thinks that maybe even if the story stays the same, he’s still fulfilling Orpheus’ wish for people to know Eurydice.

I hate this show so much like you don’t even know

Apparently I pissed some people off with my arcane post which uh..

oops 🤷‍♂️

my post was specifically about the fact that people on Pinterest were fighting because they refused to think there was any single reason why people might dislike Caitlyn. It’s almost like my post kicked the dog and now they’re yelping or something

I wonder if birds know they look stupid when they run

I hope they do because pigeons should know that just running from place to place isn’t just a slap in the face to the fact that they have wings and we don’t but also horribly inefficient and makes them look dumber than before. They should know that evolution doesn’t smile upon them like it does with crabs and they should cherish the wings they have.
