#in 616 canon shar would feel differently

[viciousgracearc]

part of sha.ron is curious about j.ohn w.alker but a bigger part of her is almost detached from the idea of him as the new c.aptain a.merica. like... to her, it just seems so ludicrous, and she’s been part of a government organization long enough to sort of see right through what they’re trying to do by giving him that shield. obviously, sharon feels some type of allegiance towards ste.ve as cap as well, and she absolutely understands ( and supports ) his decision to pass the mantle down to s.am. that said, i don’t think there’s any outright sort of dislike on sha.ron’s end regarding j.ohn w.alker, what she feels is almost like... a clinical need to appraise this new player in the game. she wants to gauge the possible level of threat he represents. she doesn’t trust him in the slightest, and she definitely thinks he has his own agenda by agreeing to become the poster boy for the US government, but this isn’t anything personal. sharon distrusts people by default. there’s no real rage or hostility, at least until she sees the video from the last ep. but i think there’d also be pity? because there’s obviously something wrong, and shar.on thinks it’s just like the US government to use this guy to carry out their agenda without thoroughly checking if he’s capable of shouldering all the baggage that comes along with being c.aptain a.merica.

#* ic. / headcanons #headcanon: sharon carter #tfatw.s spoilers #obviously the thing from the last ep is gonna go viral #and shar will be horified #but like... before all that her feelings abt it all is clinical #distant and objective #this is based in MCU canon btw #in 616 canon shar would feel differently #bc obviously her relationship w steve is more fleshed out #but duty comes first always #she's going to be sassy about it anyway #(also this isn't to say she didn't mourn the loss of steve she def did #but sharon knows the govt she once worked for; everyone is dispensable #even captain america)
