QUICK NOTES:

if you’re trying to send an ask from the desktop, best to just do it from MY THEME. for whatever reason, tunglr doesn’t like my ask page and makes it difficult.

i am comic based. i am primarily based off of captain america: home of the brave, though i know enough of steve’s comic history to rp all throughout his timeline

i am private and mutuals only. i am not fast.

About eight years ago, I was living in Tallahassee.  That’s where I MET the man.  For REAL. Well, ‘met’.  He grabbed me out of a burning building hotter than the sun.  I remember hearing him say It’ll be all right.  And I remember the way he tumbled through the air like an Olympic acrobat.  Most of all, though, I remember watching him – burned, blackened, hurting – as he went right back in.

hey! small life update. my ac is still broke, but i have some portable units running to make the house tolerable. the hottest day is supposed to be tomorrow, so if i get past that, it should be ok from here on out. also, could be a month before i get a new unit! but hopefully my home warranty will cover the whole thing. also, something funky is going on with my plumbing, and i don’t think drano is gonna solve it, so guess who needs a plumber? i love being a homeowner

anyway, i’m slowly getting back into the writing mood, i’m reading some comics to get muse back. i’ve finally decided i’ll be moving blogs! both steve and bucky are gonna become sideblogs on my multi. it’s not that i don’t love them or don’t want to write as much–it’s that i crave having one dash and frankly, i mostly just want to rp with my little 616 corner and i think i’ll be more active if i have everyone in one spot. when i’m closer to moving everyone over, i’ll post links and reblog an official announcement

[shieldslinger-a]

Take the day off Steve, I got this.

“No offense, Clint, but my name’s on every action item here. Also--not the boss of me.” He gave a small smile then kept going, not even breaking stride as he kept moving from the conference room to the elevator. “You also really don’t want to be a boss of me, they tend to end up very wet.”

you know actually now that i think about it... i still stand by my statement of steve being more bottom leaning in relationships but tbh i don’t think any of the “labels” really apply to him bc he doesn’t really adhere to a specific role in the bedroom, and he doesn’t think about what he’s going to do or have thoughts/feelings on where he should be. tbh, it’s just... steve just follows the mood and whatever feels right and follows whatever the other person kinda signals for him to do? like the thought/phrase “i’m a top/bottom/switch” has never passed his mind, he just initiates sex/responds to his partner initiating and does whatever feels best at that time. he’s way more interested in both of them getting off then taking some predesigned role that’ll hurt his identity if he doesn’t get to fulfill it. it’s just sex, it’s fun, why bother thinking that hard about it 

[shieldslinger-a]

it’s actually really interesting to compare bucky, steve, and clint in how their different specialties allow them to do the things they do and all be the best at what they do, even tho they’re all like “expert marksmen” because i think the important difference is in the medium they all choose to use?

like i can’t speak on clint too much, as i am not a clint barton expert, but his marksmanship is mostly shown with a bow and arrow. and idk a ton about bow and arrow physics, but arrows are way slower than bullets and are greatly affected by wind and air conditions, so to fire arrows with any kind of accuracy at the distances clint does... that’s actually really impressive, and either takes an acute sense of math, angles, trajectories, and calculations to do, or so much practice and familiarity to just know it by gut

bucky works more as a sniper, and definitely works with guns, and it’s not that clint can’t, he just prefers not to, and i definitely think there’s a fair amount of crossover between their marksmanship. the difference, i feel, is that clint got to be good mostly through practice and experience, and obviously correct me if i’m wrong, but it feels more like he was self-taught? vs bucky had all his WWII combat training and was taught to snipe without a scope by doing the calculations in his head on the fly. both men are experts and don’t need assistive equipment to hit the target--and both probably can do both the math and the muscle memory way of shooting--but both have strong suits that are more in line with how they learned.

steve’s mode is way different tho, and it’s why actually, physically, wielding the shield is so difficult. it’s light, but it’s big, and it doesn’t lose energy when it hits things like a bullet or an arrow, so you have to always take into account the rebound trajectory. and you have to be prepared to be hit back with the force at which you threw it too, because again--it doesn’t really lose a ton of energy when it hits things. and you also have to be in place to catch it, which means jumping, leaping, and twirling through the air in specific ways to reach the rebound, but still be capable of stopping the trajectory without completely taking yourself out. it’s very different from using guns or arrows--both of which steve can do as well, and certainly hit his mark--but the shield takes a special kind of practice and familiarity that very, very few people would ever be capable of wielding with the same mastery that steve does. and also? steve 100% does the math in his head, he knows the trajectory of his shield before it’s even left his hand, and he knows how he needs to move to get to where he needs to catch it. and this kinda shit is happening mid battle, with all sorts of people flying and running around, meaning he’s not just calculating his movements, but everyone else’s too, to make sure the shield ends up back in his hands.

How's being a bottom

These reports aren’t adding up at all. He’d made his last month, immediately after the chemical factory had exploded and he and a small team of Avengers arrived on the site to rescue workers, the other part of the team heading into town to work on evacuation. They hadn’t found a source at the time they’d been there, too focused on saving others, and after the emergency was done, they weren’t allowed to investigate. But nothing in this report was even close to matching what they’d stumbled upon that day--

“Don’t you have better things to do?” Honestly, he’d only processed that Clint made a sound that sounded like a question, but not one that had any work-related buzzwords. “A wedding to plan, a fiancée to keep happy?”

Continuing his walk through the living room, he adjusted his trip towards the meeting room. “FRIDAY, can you bring up my report and run a quick comparison between that and the investigation results released today? Something’s not adding up. See if you can dig back to see who owns this company. And make Tony read this, he was there, I know he got the alert for it but has probably ignored it. Tell him it’s from me.”

@hitsharder​ | sorry clint, business hours are 9-5, m-f

[shieldslinger-a]

steve is the big spoon. he will wrestle you for the honor

[shieldslinger-a]

i always forget it’s wednesday until people start complaining about whatever dumb thing slott/marble did this week

[shieldslinger-a]

Grabs his face and shakes him ❝ I'M GETTING MARRIED. ❞

He’s definitely not a fan of the reaction and quickly peels himself out of Clint’s grasp when he can. It’s not that the news is bad--it’s great news!--just doesn’t need his face shook, thanks.

“That’s great news, Clint. Congratulations, I’m happy for you.” To put a little more distance--and a kitchen island--between him and Clint’s exuberance, Steve went into the fridge, pulling out some cupcakes he’d picked up from the bakery down the street. Pushing them across the counter, he gestured for Clint to take one, grabbing one of the cupcakes for himself. Chocolate cake with vanilla frosting, with purple and red sprinkles on top. “Do you have any plans yet? A date, a theme?”

@hitsharder​ | congrats against all odds

“You know, Tony, Clint makes a great point. Instead of wasting time trying to speak to him individually, we should just work together to get it all done at once. Don’t you have Maria Stark Foundation expenses to go over with Clint? He’s also overdue on multiple mission reports. You make his feet stick to the floor, I’ll go get a table and chair.”

@shellheadtm​

“I think I may still have a usable sample of the last round of Paste Pot Pete -  I’m sorry, the Trapper’s - glue down in the lab.  You remember, right?  That stuff that gunked up my armor for literal hours before we could crack it open?  I’ve got a stack of receipts he needs to explain, I don’t think Bill’s Discount Vibrators is expense-worthy.”
