Overheard At The SSR

Exactly what it says on the tin Sapien she/her

[tiredmoonlight-deactivated20221]

my agent carter headcannon is that the New York SSR’s filing system is a god damn wreck because every time some fathead agent would ask peggy to clean up his filing, she just wouldn’t. she’s go to the filing room, but she’d just hang out for a few minutes and roll her eyes (she might have had a snack hoard hidden in an evidence box but i can’t prove that)

now flash forward to after season 2, peggy’s transfered to Los Angeles, and jack finally figures out what she’s been doing when he’s stuck on desk duty recovering from the gunshot wound. now, he uses the threat of having to reorganize the file room to get whatever he wants in the office. he hasn’t actually forced some poor agent to do it yet, but by god he Will get those files reorganized one day if it kills him. Krzeminski’s biggest surviving legacy in the SSR is how badly he fucked up the filing system.

Which one of the SSR's disaster agents are you?

I did not make this quiz, but someone sent this in the group chat and I thought it might be fun to share!

[likea-black-widow-baby]

I’d like to tag @backgroundagent3 @florida3exclamationpoints and @incorrectssr to take this quiz!

more thunderbolts* tweets + some thunderbolts* gc texts !!

[swattingredwing]

the first time i cried in thunderbolts was when they all worked together to save that woman from the chunk of a building

superhero movies are about people who have the ability to help people and choose to do so

that isn’t all there is but i think the mcu has gotten so focused in the weeds of the multiverse and inner group politics and whatever that they forgot that the reason we watch superhero movies is because we want to watch good guys fight bad guys, but more importantly, we want to watch them help people because that’s why they fight the bad guys in the first place

[almendriww]

I loved Thunderbolts*, that moment when you have to defeat god with a knife and a gun

[assiraphales]

haven’t uttered these words in years but steve rogers n bucky barnes, whether you like it or not, were written romantically. “til the end of the line” literally means til death do us part (a marriage vow)

[assiraphales]

throwback to when bucky was beating him up w his metal arm but his one of flesh and blood was clutching steve’s heart, and ultimately steve’s voice/face broke thru 70 years of programming

[assiraphales]

at the very least bucky was in what he thought was unrequited love bc in the first avenger a love song plays during the bar scene with the lyrics

there is a tavern in the town, in the town and there my true love sits

and now my love who was once true takes this dark damsel on his knee / and now I see him nevermore, nevermore. he never knocks upon my door

oh dig my grave wide and deep, put headstones and my head and feet

Howard: Hm, this plan seems unnecessarily complicated.

Jarvis: You once said that about oranges.

Howard: They don’t make sense! Apples you eat their clothes; oranges you have to undress!

AGENT CARTER 2.05 “The Atomic Job”

[mooingwithmidnight]

Something interesting about Vernon interrogating Dottie- toward the end, he says: “you actually believe you’ve got a friend in Peggy Carter, a woman who would see you hanged if she could arrange it. It’s pathetic; I almost feel sorry for you.”

And Dottie very obviously does not like that, much more than anything else he tried to dig at her with. She’s clearly angry, and it confused me for a minute. She’s not an idiot, and Peggy isn’t exactly subtle about her feelings toward Dottie, so it didn’t make sense for that to get under Dottie’s skin as much as it did. Of course she has to know Peggy doesn’t like her.

But then it hit me; I don’t think she’s angry that Vernon says Peggy would kill her, I think she’s angry because he said that this fact doesn’t make them friends. And again; why? She can’t actually believe they’re friends.

But that’s just it, I think she does. Because the audience is watching from the perspective of a normal, well-enough-adjusted, not-raised-in-the-red-room person. Whatever homoerotic relationship those to have is clearly not reciprocated friendship.

But to Dottie, the relationship she has with Peggy is friendship—because it is the only type of friendship she’s ever known.

A temporary alliance, all the while the knowing that one could kill the other in a moments notice and sleep perfectly fine at night. That’s Dottie’s friendship—even if she’s seen what “normal” friendship looks like, either on missions or through media, it doesn’t change the fact that this is what she knows to be true.

She’s angry because in her head, Peggy is her friend, but she also knows that Peggy doesn’t see it the same way she does; and I think that’s why the comment hits home more than anything else

Agent Carter text posts pt. 37/?

I took a chance with you, Agent Carter, and now America’s golden boy and a lot of other good men are dead. ‘Cause you had a crush.

[maryjabassa-deactivated20171021]

If anyone asks me what’s the most moving scene in the entire MCU for me, this is it. This is it, without question. Because it’s so brief and matter-of-factly, that even myself didn’t really comprehend it the first time around — the utter gravity and courage that Peggy would have to possess, in order to stand her ground and accept the consequences of her decision to help Steve in the first place.

If Steve had indeed failed in his mission, she would have borne it alone. Howard was responsible too, but only Peggy would be taking the fall for it. Only Peggy would be incriminated and blamed for Steve’s death and all the mess that came with it. She would have been court-martialed, dishonorably discharged, her good standing in the military destroyed forever. But still she risks everything, everything that she has because of her faith in Steve, that when she tells him that he’s meant for more, those aren’t just thin air and pretty words.

And what’s the most often quoted line of the Cap fandom? The dignity of a choice. These are the words that will echo long, long after everything is over. Steve grieves for Bucky, but it’s Peggy who honors him. And in the aftermath of CATWS, nothing is more imperative than Bucky being allowed to find his own way again, to allow him to do right by himself as he chooses to. To just let him know that you won’t be alone. And all that any one of them can really do is our best, and sometimes the best we can do is to start over.

There’s a very Tolkienesque quality to Peggy’s quiet heroism and knightliness, in all the ways she perceives the world and how it anchors and guides the people around her.

It’s the beating heart of this tale.
