so, as you all know, being gay was considered a mental illness in the ‘30s, if not a medical defect. and as you also know, the superserum was supposed to cure steve of all his medical defects.

imagine how overwhelmingly relieved he is after he’s gotten the serum and he realizes he’s still queer. how vindicated. the serum fixed his lungs and his back and his vision, but it can’t fix something that isn’t wrong with him, and i can’t stop thinking about his face when he realizes that his queerness isn’t something that needs to be fixed.

Maybe even for a touch there Steve thinks he IS cured. He’s having success with women for the first time. They’re looking at him like he might be worth something. The prospects of some day getting married and settling down don’t seem as preposterous a feat as they once did. Then he goes on his rescue-suicide mission to save Bucky. Bucky’s a grimy mess, covered in filth and smelling like chemicals and Steve is just like. FUCK, yeah I still want this.

But imagine him seeing Bucky with completely new eyes after the serum. Steve’s whole life Bucky was the epitome of what a man should be. Strong, tall, muscular–everything Steve wasn’t. Now after months of Steve adjusting to his enhanced body as the new normal he sees Bucky again, half starved after a month of captivity, and for the first time HE looks small and skinny to Steve’s eyes. And Steve knows with absolute certainty that he wants Bucky. That always wanted him, and it’s not just admiration or envy or loneliness or whatever other excuses​ he’s conjured up over the years to try to deny his queerness. He wants this man, and he knows he’s not sick, that there’s nothing wrong with him.

Have you ever considered that Zemo’s plan to flush Bucky out of hiding by having people recognize him on the street would have failed if Bucky has just gotten himself a nice haircut and shaved and maybe tried not to look like the shiftiest sad hobo in Romania

sweetmeatdale:

Imagine MCU Peter Parker accidentally letting slip that he’s gonna miss a class trip because Aunt May can’t chaperone so then he suddenly has to explain to his teachers why one of the Avengers volunteered to oversee the class camping trip or something like that.

Like imagine Peter being super embarrassed when all of his classmates are wondering why the fuck Thor, god of thunder and king of Asgard, is on their trip.

Or why Captain Steven Rogers is standing at attention as the teacher lists off all of the parents who volunteered to come.

Or like even the defenders, like imagine the principal asking why he thought a blind lawyer from Hell’s Kitchen was a suitable candidate for chaperoning a bunch of high schoolers.

Or Natasha comes along and all the kids are too afraid of her to say anything the whole time.

Imagine Peter trying to explain that his second choice after his legal guardian was known Kennedy Assassin, James Buchanan Barnes.

Imagine the principal trying to figure out how in the hell a student contacted S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Daisy Johnson for what basically amounts to a babysitter for a weekend bus trip.

Or even further and tie in Venom and have kids questioning why some off-the-rails San Francisco newsman signed on to help this random kid in Queens.

Like I love all the headcanons about the older superheroes deciding that this child is their responsibility but the domestic side of that is just hilarious
