Steve Rogers | Rhapsody in Blue | George Gershwin
idk i just !! i just !! this one's been making me crazy but i'm on spring break so i have time. had to get out a pen and paper to plan it out. i just have a lotta feelings about steve + this song.
thinking about careers and now I'm sad...I'm imagining nations wanting to have careers of their own, to be doctors, engineers, CEOs, artists...but they have to do their nation job :( of course they love their people, but being born into such a responsibility would really suck (to me anyway)
I get that, I do headcanon though that some nations just said:
"Fuck you, I'm going to become a construction worker for a lifetime, see you never because you'll probably be dead by the time I get back."
And did just that. I also headcanon that the majority have several degrees and trained skillsets, I see Arthur being a very well trained Nurse/Medic and having gotten several bachelor degrees in the humanity (?) field out of curiosity (Philosophy, History (There was a time BEFORE him afterall, AND there's no way he can have known every single thing happening in history throughout his life at once and I see him being curious about what he's missed), etc.)
Alfred's got so many engineering and science degrees and I see Matthew being super invested in marine biology and GEOLOGY particularly, so while they have their nation job, I think many chose to say 'up yours' and went and lived a career anyway, maybe helping a bit with nation work on the side, but not a full-time thing

Times Bucky Barnes Protected Sam Wilson
Thunderbolts spoilers
"I don't know why people think they did Sam dirty with this. Lmao. People in universe don't see this team as a real team, because it wasn't assembled by Sam. Literal outrage for nothing and not understanding what was literally in the damn movie. "
What are we not gonna do is act af if there's no pushback in real life against Sam being Captain America and leading the Avengers. That Mcu stans aren't weird when it comes to Sam.
Tantrums were and are still being thrown because Steve gave Sam the shield and not Bucky. Articles were written about it. You had interviewers asking why Sam and not Bucky. They don't care about how Sam is more qualified and Steve and Bucky both want him to have that mantle or how he's popular in-universe.
Sam was villainized through tfaws by fans for not babying Bucky and not babying Walker. They see these white men who didn't treat Sam well and yet write essays about how they're poor little meow meows and Sam is not worthy being Cap because he was supposedly mean to them.
Sam was never being given a fair share by fans and the media. There's constantly articles about Chris coming back. He's always judged on a higher standard. Because if Sam was the one leading a government sanctioned team or talk foundly about his time in the military you'd get essays slagging him and his movie off.
Marvel has been sidelining Sam even after he became Cap. They barely promoted him as such in the past 4 years and now they aren't letting him form his team first .
Cause now, after Bucky and Walker those racist fans now have the Thunderbolts they can use against Sam. People are already saying that they prefer them to Sam's team before we ever get to see it.
Since Thunderbolts came out there's been posts on Twitter and TikTok hating on Sam, one with 8k likes calling him a loser. Calling him petty. Asking how Sam can do this to "Bucky and Natasha's sister." Saying Bucky or Walker should be Cap. How * are the real Avengers.
That's why people are upset.
