Steve Rogers in a single gif.
We joke about Steveās patriotism as his strong suit, but his actual strength was his sense of moral right. His whole philosophy is summed up in the line āI donāt like bulliesā in the first movie. Steve loves his country. He loves it enough to be at the front of the line trying to fix what he sees as moral wrong in it.
kehinki:Ā #there isnāt even any indication he loves his country t b h#all we know is that he wants to fix what he deems morally impermissible#āI donāt like bullies /I donāt care where theyāre from/ā#that last bit is important
steve rogers is patriotic in the most real sense: he represents the concept at the core of the american ideal, the concept of freedom that is the reason our political system is designed to adapt and alter itself for constant improvement.
he is not loyal to any momentary leader or agenda, and when those leaders and agendas stand contrary to his core ideal of self-determination and freedom from oppression, heāll speak up without hesitation.
honestly, i never wouldāve thought captain america would be my favorite superhero, but heās the activist i aspire to be.
Captain America is loyal to nothing but the dream.
The problem with Captain Americaās image in the public mind is that people recite the first line of his byword and ignore the last partĀ :
āMy country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right.ā
Not to mention his
speech in Spiderman #537
.
My favorite line from the issue: āThis nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree besides the river of truth, and tell the whole worldā āNo, you move.ā
Steve Rogers is a radical and thatās why I love him.

Insp. by X and X. For @lovelizziekins
Iām reading Don Quixote for my world literature class and apparently when it was first published in 1605 it was world-changingly popular, one of the first āpopular novelsā as we know it today, and there were all sorts of people who were writing and publishing their own unofficial fan-sequels to Don Quixote which was basically the first fan-fiction, and then in 1615 the original author wrote an official sequel in which Don Quixote reads a piece of fanfic about him and sets out on a quest to beat up the author who mischaracterized him
This is all true. What happened more specifically is that one fan fiction got really really popular and since people werenāt all that familiar with how novels worked (because there werenāt really any other novels in Europe yet), a lot of people just took this as a valid sequel. Cervantes (the original author) had pretty much stopped working on any kind of sequel to the original at point, but he got really pissed that people were reading this fan fic and assuming it was as legit as his canon. So he got off his butt and wrote this sequel, which academics call big words likeĀ āmeta-textualā when really it was Cervantes trying to make sure people understood his canon correctly and didnāt get carried away with their silly fan theories based on this one fic writerās interpretation.Ā Now-a-days, theĀ ātrue sequelā is normally just lumped in and stuck onto the end as aĀ āpart II,ā in case you are wondering why youāve never heard of a Don Quixote the Sequel. By all accounts, the fan fic was pretty bad, which makes itās a perfect beginning to the grand tradition of fanfiction. Calling this the first instance of fanfiction, though, comes from the fact that this was the first time, as far as we know, that the author of the original stepped in to officially denounce fan work as not canon. For most of history (at least western history) there wasnāt really an idea that stories had ownership. Most famous greek plays and poems are based on other works. Virgilās Aeneid can easily be called Homer fan fiction (we have no real way of knowing how much of the story existed in folk tradition and how much he made up). Most of the versions of greek myths you know come from Ovidās Metamorphosis, which is largely his short fics about other myths. Moving out of the classical world, bible fic constitutes a lot of what literature is for a while. Danteās Ā Inferno, specifically, (which is, lets be clear, a self insert fic where the author meets his fave author - so itās also RPF - and they take a tour through a crossover fic between the Bible, historical fic, and greek myth) was so popular that itās kind of crossed over into fanon (quick - biblically how many cicles does Hell have? Answer: none, they all come from Dante and in turn Virgil, and eventually Homerā¦) On the run up to Don Quixote, we have Shakespeare, who adapted most of his plays directly from other works by other people, from which he asked no permission (nor was he expected to.) The real move that makes this false sequel the first official fan fiction is that the author of the canon material asserted his ownership of the intellectual property that was the characters and the story. Not in the legal sense - there was nothing illegal about this sequel - but in the sense that you could call this sequelĀ āunauthorized.ā Itās the beginning of thinking of characters and stories as belonging to a specific person, rather than simply being created by said person.

i will never fucking recover from being a supernatural fan. it is a blight upon my very existence. it has been five goddamn years since i gave up on that hell show. when will eric kripke set my soul free. when will i at last know peace
