I drew these silly little guys (I got Bucky's arm wrong again lol)

I started my first job so unfortunately im kinda busy atm. I wish I could just draw them all day long, would be a dream come true

[rillils]

I'm just in my feels and rambling so take this with a grain of salt, but this awesome post about Cap Bucky sort of made me think about mcu Steve, and his own general lack of firearms.

When he first joins the Avengers, he's given his garish little outfit, the cowl, the bright red gloves and boots, and his signature shield of course, because that's what people recognize him by. Everybody else in the group has some kind of weapon (Nat's got her guns and probably a stash of knives, Clint's got his arrows, Tony can shoot laser blast thingies with his suit, and so on), but Steve's only given the shield. Which, I get it, he can absolutely use it to attack as well as to protect himself - but that's not quite the same, is it?

And I mean, this guy fought in actual WWII, he was on the front lines for close to two years! He's no stranger to guns,

he was storming HYDRA bases and blowing up buildings and tanks, with nazi soldiers still inside them, for god's sake!

And he looked pretty smug about it, too:

I mean, he's not actively looking for people to kill, and it's not like he immediately goes for the kill when he fights (he seems to tend more towards incapacitating first, though it depends on the situation), but the thing is, he is willing to kill if need be.

BUT. But it's like they just don't want people to see him with a gun in his hand. Definitely not when he's fighting aliens on national tv, and apparently neither is he issued any firearms when he's going on secret spy missions for SHIELD, either - not that I remember anyway, but obviously I could be wrong.

I'm just. Just thinking about Steve, especially during his first year or so in the 21st century, realizing more and more how his image has been twisted to serve whatever purpose was more convenient at the time, and how it's being twisted even further now that he's back.

There's this undeniable, concerted effort being poured into making him more palatable to the public.

They want him polished. They want him as an ideal to sell. They want Captain America the war hero, but he can't be directly associated with violence or with the brutal, blood-soaked, dirty-handed reality of war; so he's a soldier who fought in the war, but somehow he's never killed anyone (such a preposterous idea! Captain America? Kill someone? Perish the thought!), and the war itself is a vague, distant kind of war that belongs in the past, or possibly, occasionally, in a Hollywood movie that will gloss over the worst parts of it.

They don't want Steve the war veteran who's plagued by a severe case of survivor's guilt (not to mention all the other glaring PTSD symptoms). They want to sell Cap the goody-two-shoes who spends his time helping doddery old grannies cross the street, Cap the pedantic good little soldier who does cringe-worthy PSAs and Always Follows The Rules, and fights the bad guys in the Right Way because he's a Good Hero who Doesn't Enjoy Violence and has a strict no-killing policy, obviously.

So he can't be seen wielding a gun, because uhhh that would kinda ruin the vision they're going for here.

And I'm just picturing Steve sitting alone in his apartment, shield propped up against the couch by his feet, sipping a beer straight from the bottle and knowing, just knowing, how absolutely outraged Bucky would have been to know that they would send him out on the field to fight a bunch of aliens, without a single goddamn gun in his holster to give them hell with.

so today a public health official guy came into my class to give a lecture on disaster awareness and he was talking about house fires and mentioned that the reason people most likely die during a house fire is because they refuse to leave their pet inside or they go back to get their pet. and right when he said this my friend immediately turned his head and looked at me and in that moment I had the most complete and genuine acceptance take over my body. I would 100% in front of my family and Jesus himself walk straight back into some raging inferno that was once my house to go get my fat cat. I nodded back

[prideprejudce]

the best part of this post is reading all the tags from animal people who would also go back to save their pets. like no hesitation. walk backwards from heaven straight back into hell. someone even said they would go back for their fish. amazing

[sterna-hirundo]

If you are a person who would walk into a blazing inferno for your animal, and your pet has free movement around the house, here’s a training exercise that could help save you both:

1) Set off your smoke alarm or play the sound on your phone (if your home has no smoke alarms, pease get some!)

2) stand BY THE FRONT DOOR to hand out treats

Do this a couple times and then keep it up NO EXCEPTIONS. Accidentally set the alarm off cooking? Treats by the door. Smoke alarm sound on TV? Treats by the door. Changing your smoke alarm batteries twice a year like you’re supposed to? Give them a test run and your pets get treats by the door.

Most dogs and cats will clue in VERY quickly that hearing that specific sound means go to the front door and wait for treats.

If there’s an emergency and even if you leave by another way, you will still know the most likely place your pet(s) is and can direct first responders to help.

You can also do this for any other kind of emergency alarm. My friend had both her cats trained to go to the front door for a tsunami siren.

“They’re just looking for attention.”

Oh, a human being is seeking a social response? Human being, the social animal wired to make and track social connection? A human desires the vital blood that permitted their species to survive for millennia? The human being who was born completely helpless and primed in every way by nature to seek attention and help from their community?

Wow that’s crazy. How embarrassing. Humiliating even. Should we isolate them from community? Should we call Wire Mother?

Just got this text from my sister and it took my brain several seconds to realize she was referring to a real person and not this slut:

It's kinda a disappointment she wasn't giving your number to that thick slut 🤭

Samantha: do the people know about Ampersand Island?

me: ... no.....

this is Ampersand Island. every time I come across a beautiful, interesting, or unusual ampersand in my archival travels I take a screenshot and place it neatly in this little pile on my desktop

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

[nobodys-odyssey]

Taylor Swift does this

[godlessondheimite]

no she doesn’t

[nobodys-odyssey]

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.
