I’m listening to “Rock n Roll is King,” by ELO and it hit me.
Steve and Bucky went straight from swing, big band, and Jazz music to whatever the fuck was happening in 2014 ish. What a shock to the system!!
Who taught them about rock music and Elvis and The Beatles? Who taught them how music changed and shaped the world?
Funny how so many fics and even the MCU itself had things like “Star Wars” and the internet. But what about everything in between? So many culturally significant things happened in that 70 odd years and Star Wars was the best they could do?
I mean I get that the MCU wanted to just quickly throw in stuff for the whole “man out of time thing” without actually dealing with it properly or how it would have affected him mentally.
But when he first meets up with the soon to be Avengers and he hears AC/DC?
Or music in shops or cafes. Sitting and sketching a new modern skyline and he can’t help but listen to some lyrics and it’s rap music or hard rock and he’s like “what did they just say???”

YOU GUYS. When you ask @capibuck to do fanart for your fic they DELIVER. IN. SPADES.
I am currently busy having a total meltdown over how fucking cute this is and may actually perished from it.
There’s something very nice about remembering fics you read years ago. Maybe you remember the plot perfectly, maybe the rest of the fic is only a blur aside from a handful of vivid scenes, but you remember the way it made you feel. And sometimes you dredge up the memory - the premise or a favourite scene or a few lines that stayed with you - and your heart aches a little bit, the way it does when you think about books you enjoyed as a child.
To all the fanfiction writers out there: your work is beautiful and meaningful and it leaves an impact. I promise.
I don’t want to kill anyone. I don’t like bullies; I don’t care where they’re from.
(she/her). I like leisure, reading, music, movies, history, Captain America, & a bunch more.
