steve: i miss my boyfriend :(

sam, nat, fury, sharon, rumlow, literally anyone who heard steve speak between 2014-2016: WE KNOW

this will NEVER not be funny

#no one has ever pined this hard without realizing they’re pining #god i love him but he’s so fucking stupid #stucky #steve rogers #bucky barnes

Throwback to this hysterically tone-deaf scene that very nearly made the final cut of Endgame.

In case you forgot, Tony did the following to these people:

Bucky was beaten within an inch of his life

Steve’s image was tarnished and his heroism stifled

Sam was shot point-blank when he gave up his freedom to help Rhodey

Wanda’s parents were killed because of his criminal negligence, her brother was killed by his creation, her freedom was taken because of his stubborness, delivering the Time Stone to Thanos rendered her sacrifice meaningless, and his refusal to undo the Blip led to all the trouble she caused afterwards.

Peter was blackmailed, groomed, neglected, and manipulated

Strange was forced into an impossible situation because of his refusal to turn the ship to Titan around

Bruce was strongarmed into helping create a murderbot, and then Tony sided with Thaddeus Ross to hunt down people like him

Clint, the man in the fucking thumbnail, is the guy whose secret family was exposed to Ross by Tony.

WHY THE HELL DID ANYONE THINK THIS SCENE WAS A GOOD IDEA?!?!?!?!?!

I was planning on waiting until the 4-year anniversary of this scene being released, but I’m feeling particularly spiteful today.

#FUCK THAT MF

[vee-nyx]

unhappy 5 year anniversary to the worst character assassination ever committed and the martyrdom of a completely undeserving man-child

#never forget that the russo bros made bucky and wanda kneel for the man who almost killed them #if tony stark has zero haters im dead #avengers: endgame #anti tony stark #anti endgame #mcu #steve rogers

stucky x loml final chorus:

oh, what a valiant roar

what a bland goodbye

the coward claimed he was a lion

i’m combing through the braids of lies

“i’ll never leave”

“never mind”

Happy 10th Anniversary to the Premiere of the MCU's Greatest Love Story

no bucky in cap 4 is actually the most nonsensical decision marvel's made since endgame. absolutely annihilating steve's arc was already such a disservice to bucky and now he's ditching sam for the thunderbolts? they're gonna need to give a really good reason for his loyalties changing or else it’s just another character discontinuity

#i will not let them ruin steve AND bucky as characters #kevin feige im on yo ass #mcu #marvel #captain america: brave new world #sam wilson #captain america #bucky barnes

now that i’m reading the original latin of the pharsalia i don’t think i’ll ever be over suzanne collin’s genius when she wrote thg. there’s traces of lucan EVERYWHERE but my favorite by far is cato’s story, especially this quote:

“the gods favored the victor; cato the lost cause”

because, truly, the gods of the arena (i.e. seneca crane & co) favored katniss & peeta while cato favored the games, despite their dwindling popularity and hatred within the districts.

then there’s plutarch, the embellishing historian, telling true stories with extra spice to subtly influence his audience’s thoughts. seneca, the respected philosopher and friend of the emperor, forced to take his own life as punishment for conspiracy. coriolanus, the general who treated commoners and his tribunal so badly that they eventually threw him out of rome. enobarbus, the cynic who played both sides in the war between antony and caesar.

Echo 1x05 "Maya"

#GET THE AWARDS ROLLING FOR SISTER ALAQUA #I MEAN CMON NOW

[vee-nyx]

ALAQUA COX as MAYA LOPEZ

Official "Echo" Trailer

#alaqua cox the woman that you are #i can’t believe this is her first role EVER like she’s already tipping the mother scales in just five episodes

[vee-nyx]

Watch Echo. Please. Please.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to see this kind of representation, this kind of investment from a company like Marvel, in telling indigenous peoples' stories. They consulted with the Choctaw nation, they DUBBED THE ENTIRE SERIES IN CHOCTAW. Choctaw is an endangered language! Fewer than 500 people remain that speak it fluently! And here it is, preserved in a Marvel Show about a Native Super Hero!!!!

I know you have MCU fatigue, I get it. I understand that some of the disney+ Marvel shows have been underwhelming. But I am BEGGING YOU. Just watch Echo. Just give it a chance, give Her a chance. The world is a better place with stories like this in it, and the only way we will get more of them is if we show companies like Marvel that their investment isn't a waste.

[vee-nyx]

this is me officially telling everyone to STREAM ECHO!! TWEET ABOUT IT!! MAKE NOISE FOR ALAQUA & THE AMAZING INDIGENOUS CREATORS BEHIND THIS SHOW!!

actual streams will be best to support the show, and since we all know disney has been shitty lately, allow me to remind everyone that COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH SPOTIFY PREMIUM CAN REDEEM A FREE HULU ACCOUNT and stream the show with ads!! i know it’s easier to 🏴‍☠️ but streaming helps the show succeed statistically, so please consider!!

#my man my man my man

[vee-nyx]

Reaper Ash who apologised to each tribute personally for having to kill them; armed with a pitchfork and long knife, ready to engage- but in the end, never did.

Reaper Ash who was unable to make sense of the scene before him, the stabbed bodies of Tanner and particularly Lamina; who lifted Lamina up, carried her over to where Bobbin and Marcus lay, and arranged the three in a row on the ground. Reaper Ash who dragged Tanner beside Lamina; who spent the next hour collecting Dill and then Sol; who likely dragged Jessup's body over and lifted Wovey into his arms and laid them with the other tributes; who although gaunt and unsteady, teetered over to Teslee and Mizzen and did the same. Reaper Ash who only took notice of Lucy Gray when she dared to touch Treech's body then assumed the job of transporting Treech, placing him neatly with the rest.

Reaper Ash who lay Dill in the sun in her final moments; who watched Lucy Gray fill her pockets and let her go; who traded protection from the sun to Lamina for some bread and cheese; who when Lamina pointed out the pack, chose not to engage but, withdrew behind the barricades; who made no move to kill Lucy Gray when it came down to him and her as the final two tributes.

Reaper Ash who the only times we know of him hurting people were when he killed a peacekeeper and strangled Coriolanus Snow.

Reaper Ash who tied the piece of the flag he cut for Lamina around himself like a cape, spinning slowly, looking back over his shoulder to watch it fly out behind him; who ran, spreading his arms out as the flag streamed in the sunlight.

Reaper Ash who cut away swath after swath of the Panem flag to preserve what little dignity remained of him and his fallen, fellow tributes; who swatted away the flies then shielded their bodies and his.

Reaper Ash who said he'd make it up to the other tributes when he wins by taking revenge on the Capitol- but he didn't need to win to take revenge on the Capitol to make it up to them. Reaper did that by not participating; by giving his fellow tributes what respect that he could in their deaths- an act of rebellion against the Capitol and the games in itself and probably the reason why they began removing the bodies of the dead.

Reaper Ash who didn't let the games change him; who didn't let the games turn him into some kind of monster that he was not.

#i will never get over how reaper was the highest favored tribute to win #he had 2-1 odds for almost the entirety of his time in the arena and more sponsors than he could ever need #we know he’s capable of violence (against the peacekeeper and snow) but he never initiates harm against his fellow tributes #he’s a physically imposing Black man with a name that means death and yet the only people he harms are the oppressors #he remembered who the real enemy is #i am very emotional about reaper ash #reaper ash #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #not mcu #not sw

so this happened:

and my immediate thought was that, somewhere in the MCU, this happens:

sambucky: *watching the apprentice*

seb!trump: *appears for the first time*

*several moments of confused silence*

sam: bro why he look-

bucky: don’t even say it

*days later*

twitter user jbbarnes: @realdonaldtrump what’s ur response to the allegations that u look like captain america’s boyfriend

#trump attempts to defend himself and is spammed with edits of his character at pride parades #he deactivates shortly after #mcu #marvel #sambucky #sam wilson #bucky barnes #sebastian stan
