Huge Fan Of Them Not Giving Sam A Love Interest And Instead Putting A Suspicious Amount Of Photos Of

Just...gerita in general😩

My good man, you were extremely lucky, because I was drawing them just as you sent your request. You get the angsty fanart!

More MCU fans need to understand that the extent of anti-black racism that exists around Sam Wilson as a character colors every scene he’s in, every way he’s talked about, how he’s perceived by fans, and how he is used by the media company as a character.

There is no way for fans of Sam Wilson to view these sleights as innocent or contextual - for example, Lexi being an ignorant buffoon in general — because the severity of the hate this character faces means there are people who cannot read that Lexi is intended to be a buffoon. They will actually look at that scene and go oh Lexi is right, Sam is a bad character and this reinforces the beliefs that I already had. They can’t look at the context that the Thunderbolts are not intended to be taken seriously as the New Avengers because the point is that Sam is the only one who has real legitimacy- they will look at the movie and go, John Walker really IS the better Captain America and Sam Wilson is trash. And when you combine it Sam constantly being put in the background despite being Captain America, it reinforces that Sam is not as important as Steve Rogers, that his position is tenuous, that he isn’t the backbone of the MCU now. These strategies end up with real harm to the presentation of Black characters in the MCU. And Sam fans are rightfully pissed off that this keeps happening because we see the social media posts trashing Sam. It’s a real phenomena, not just ship wars or fannish defense.

the best fanfic is the one the author had fun writing actually.

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
