comic i did last night about bucky and steve in the same universe as the redesigns i did, somewhere between the movies and the comics drawn traditionally using micron and marker on 8 x 10 ^^

[thankssaragorn]

oddly specific and incoherent howling commandos headcanons:

ages: hugely important for vibes here. mcu wiki does technically have ages for them but not all of them are real to me. to me, steve and bucky and peggy and gabe are like in their mid-20s and the rest of them are 30s and 40s.

gabe and morita are dummy smart like went back home after the war and got phds smart. they also worked on all of the civil rights movements.

^ just because morita is dummy smart does not mean that he carries brain cells.

morita-dugan-dernier get into jackass level hooliganry. its the combo of 'morita machine smart' and 'dernier explosives smart' and 'dugan down to clown'.

like technically steve is in charge but i think theyve got more of a community thing going on esp when it comes to day to day life. steve makes the battle plans and reports to the brass but everything else is a group effort because they're family.

bucky has that annoying big brother energy he's like messing with people and repeating the same phrases and singing all the time.

bucky and steve together are super annoying because they can communicate without speaking and everything they say is an inside joke and they have no idea how to interact socially with anybody but each other.

^^ when peggy is around this is worse. the three of them are insane and should never be put in charge of anything ever.

morita is full of rage (as he should be). dugan regularly exploits this.

dugan and bucky are bffls - if they were grade school students in the 2010s they'd exchange silly bandz and pass notes via paper airplane. i have no textual evidence to back this up other than that i believe it's true.

dernier can understand and speak english fine but he thinks its a stupid language so he makes them all learn french in order to communicate with him.

monty and steve have a similar vibe as dugan and bucky but like not as grimy and rowdy bc their personalities are different. but like monty is steve's no 2 after bucky and they do "high brow shit" like talk about art and books and political theory and nerd things.

^ in this similar vein, steve and gabe have a similar vibe as steve and natasha. idk how else to elaborate on this i just feel its true. gabe holds a large percentage of the group's overall brain cell, and he's clever and has a dry humor and when steve comes to him saying "i want to try this" he shrugs and says okay.

gabe is jacked asf cuz he carries the machine gun around like he's super strong, he and steve regularly exploits this.

dugan is like so indiana jones about his hat and they're all so annoyed about it. howard bulks it up though, makes it sturdier in case it gets shot. it's dugan's pride and joy.

james howlett (wolverine) joined up with them for one (1) mission and.....never again. don't ask what happened, just, never again.

^^ this becomes hilarious in like 2015

peggy went on a few missions with them but that got shut down real quick. it's not that they weren't successful, but the peggy-steve-bucky Circle of Stupidity (TM) makes the howlies drop productivity by at least 25% so they unionized and said no more sorry we love her but when she's here you three act like dumb idiots.

when steve goes on the azzano mission with peggy and howard, colonel phillips is like "i did not make it through the great war just to be put in charge of the stupidest idiots in the allied powers" and then when steve comes back and puts the howlies together, phillips gives up. he tries to resign, eisenhower wont let him.

the thing about peggy-steve-bucky is that all three of them think they're the level headed rational one of the group and all three of them are wrong.

The Howlies scouting Dum Dum: It’s beautiful out here. Bucky: And quiet. Peggy: Too quiet. Gabe: Did we lose someone? cut to Steve with a bear in a headlock

I’m reading a Stucky fic set during the war.

I was absolutely delighted that the author mentioned Hedy Lamarr.

Steve is telling the Howlies that she and Howard Stark were working on some stuff together.

Because in the MCU world that isn’t at all out of the question. In fact, the two of them together could potentially do more than either of them might do separately.

So I was just “chef’s kiss” to this piece of brilliance. I’m surprised other fic writers hadn’t thought to do it.

Of course Howard might try to seduce her but I’m certain she would just punch him and tell him to get back to fucking work (well actually I dunno if she cursed. I’d like to think so 😉)

Look what @beardoesdoodles created for The Shield Bearer (E).

Chapter 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |

(Steve and Bucky catching the sights on a vacation from the war).

Steve eyed the spectacular view with rapturous enthusiasm. Hands on hips in that now-familiar pose, his chest thrown out, it appeared he didn’t have a care in the world. Bucky, of course, knew that wasn’t true.

When he finally spoke, it was melancholy. “Do you think,” he began, allowing his hands to fall to the side and shuffling closer to Bucky. “If there wasn’t a war, and we hadn’t been shipped over here –”

Bucky knew exactly where Steve was going. If they had been themselves, back in Brooklyn, would they have traveled together to Greece to take in the sights?

It was highly unlikely. What, with Steve’s precarious health and him taking his Ma’s death so hard –

“Sure,” Bucky answered before the rest of the question was asked. “I could see us standing here under better circumstances.”

Modern Stucky and Howlies AU

The Fic:

What if when Steve came out of the ice, all the Howlies were still alive and living together in one retirement old folk's home? And Steve, having no connections with anybody in the modern world, spent tons of his free time visiting them and playing poker, sneaking them liquor, and just generally creating a headache for the semi-amused retirement home staff?

And Bucky is the care worker who grows to have a crush on Steve.

(**Bonus points if you name the Nursing Home "Shady Acres Care Home" , like where Loki stuck his father in Thor: Ragnarok)

Putting this here so I don’t forget it:

“You didn’t say your favor was Steve Roger!” James Mortia, named after his father and his old war buddy, hissed.

Jim shrugged. “What’s it matter? He’s a damn good nurse.”

“Have you watched the news?” James exclaimed. “He’s all over it. An accomplice of the Winter Soldier! He helped him escape.”

“Son, there’s more going on here than you think. Cap’s a good friend, and he needs help.” Jim looked at his son, a reflection of the past. “Please, I wouldn’t be asking if it wasn’t important.”

James wanted to scream. ‘You ask too much! You always have…’ but he’d never seen his father look like this. He’s never seen his father ask for help. And he couldn’t find it in him to refuse. “Fine.”

I saw a picture of the Howling Commandos that I'd never seen before from someone's Instagram last week, so I've been looking for other Howlie stuff and posting it. I decided to go back and watch the bonus features of CA:TFA, which I haven't actually watched in years. And LOOK AT ALL THIS STUFF THEY FILMED! We just get peeks of it here between the interviews, but damn, it breaks my heart! I want to see Cap and the Commandos! Dammit Marvel, I know you have this in a vault somewhere!
