#2 & #43!

2) Have you ever had a crush on a teacher?

Ummm no? Idk, what qualifies as a crush? My psychology teacher in high school was hella cute but I wouldn’t say I had a crush on him. 

43) What is your favorite cartoon character?

DO ANIME CHARACTERS COUNT?!?!?! DISNEY MOVIES?!?!?!? I honestly don’t know I haven’t watched much cartoons lately except for the stuff the kids watch.

I have a question that has nothing to do with Clintasha or Clint? It's about Pepper. I know she isn't in the movie, but do we like, get told where she is? Or do they just not mention her at all?

Oh, she’s mentioned, alright. Not really a spoiler, too, since it's already in the junior novel that came out days ago.

Peggy did mention working at Bletchley Park and being a "codebreaker" in the Agent Carter episode The Iron Ceiling. Of course the only bit of pre-SSR canon Agent Carter gave us went against the teensy tiny bit of canon we already had from Marvel (which didn't mention Bletchley). Additionally, personnel at Bletchley signed the Official Secrets Act, putting restrictions on what they could say about their work there, even after the end of the war. So Peggy being all "Hey, guys, that time I was a codebreaker at Bletchley during the war," made me make this face: 

But I suppose it's canon now, and it's a cool canon nonetheless. My concern is that it might preclude Peggy serving much time in France, like her comics counterpart. (To hell with Cartson vs. Peggysous vs. Cartinelli, let's all debate whether or not MCU Peggy loaned her badassery to the French Resistance.)

More on the Meal Scene in "Agent Carter"

Peggy, for a moment, seems rather uncomfortable with the idea of stealing food, where the other girls encourage it, even praising each other for it. This to me, seems to underline a real cultural difference. Peggy, having grown up in England with the rationing and the Blitz spirit, would have had a very much ‘make, do and mend’ mindset. What you had, you shared. Stealing or fiddling rations was not only very frowned upon by others, but could be punishable. The American girls, on the flipside, probably grew up young in the Depression. When there was food, you took it and you took as much as you could, because who knows when it would be there again? They have made ingenious solutions to avoid waste, and to avoid hunger. They eat like women who have known what it feels like to not have anything to fill a hungry belly.

This was written in this post, by katymoonbeam, regarding Agent Carter.

I wanted to follow this up with some further historical notes:

Even with war rationing in the 1940s, it's clear that the collectivist "all together for victory" attitudes that permeated society during the war have faded away a lot more quickly in the USA, partly due to "Victory syndrome" and partly due to the fact that the USA was far wealthier in terms of material production than the UK.

In fact, wartime rationing in the UK, unlike in the USA, was not fully ended until the 1950s. Peggy would surely have known people in the UK who were still dealing with the difficulties of postwar rebuilding while in the USA, the country was already gearing up for the years of bounty coming up as peacetime production continued to ramp up to meet the needs and wants of millions of people with jobs and with a government determined to keep another Depression from happening (see, for example, Which Way This Time? that informs people about wartime booms and busts)

Definitely a contrast of cultures. :)

Whenever I see your URL I get excited because I know I shall soon be seeing something Clintasha or AoU thing that will make me smile! xx

Far too little Clintasha right now, but I’ll try to gif as much Clint as possible until I’m done with cutting Thor 2 and can start with Cap2… Then I’ll have lots of Clintasha gif material again :D

Fanfic trope: 6. I am curious! ;)

I apologize for being late in responding to this! Work has kicked my ass (that and insomnia).

6. Undercover in a gay bar

Honestly, I can't remember reading any fic like this. Not even with any Glee AUs. I'm not sure if I'd write anything like this either. It can be an okay trope, but it's just not my thing.
