Any Staron headcanons?

Btw you’re my go to Staron blog (i know you don’t post about them a lot and they aren’t ur main ship, but it’s do hard finding content of them)

Aww, now I feel guilty about how little I post or known about them. I do love them but they're not something I know a lot about.

So I'm going to tag this extensively. If you're a Sharon or Staron blog PLEASE say so anon can find you!

Anyway:

Sharon cracks up every single time Steve tries dirty talk, which just encourages him. He has an amazing repertoire of terrible dirty talk.

They're plant parents since their lives don't lend themselves to keeping pets. They're also Alpine's godparents, which Bucky insists is a real thing for cats.

If their child had lived she would've been a daughter who would've been drawn naturally to magic.

Sharon gets everyone she knows addicted to trashy Hallmark Christmas movies.

One of the most underrated aspects of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ run on Captain America is just how well-written the female characters are. It’s one of the reasons why I like it so much. Let’s review how he handles the following:

Relationships: The way Coates writes Steve and Sharon’s relationship feels very much a contrast to Remender’s run, which made Sharon feel like a prop/refrigerator for Steve to angst over. With Coates, the two feel like partners. Steve very clearly loves Sharon, but also values and thinks highly of her opinion. He also trusts her to keep fighting the battles he is unsure he’s capable of carrying on. Sharon, by contrast, understands Steve’s emotional state, but is unafraid to challenge him. And you better believe she will go to the mat for him. 

Sharon’s age: For those who don’t know, Sharon was trapped in an alternate dimension and aged up an unstated number of years. As such, she’s physically somewhere in the window of 50+ years old. She, naturally, wishes she were in a younger body, but what I like is that she mostly espouses these desires to other women. The other women, who had been her age contemporaries, however? They don’t judge her or question her for wearing a belly shirt to the club. They support her and build her up. I live for the lady friendships in this arc. Oh, and Steve, who still looks like a Greek God? Still super in love with her and says looking at her is the best part of his day. 

Sharon’s trauma: Sharon Carter has experienced a lot of shit over the course of her existence, and rarely has been allowed by the narrative to discussing that trauma. However, when Steve was (understandably) angsting about the Hydra!Cap drama, Sharon was allowed to call him out on forgetting that he wasn’t the only one who suffered. She did, as well, referencing, albeit not in the exact words, that she suffered rape by deception at the hands of Hydra!Cap. The GoT writers should also take a note out of Coates’ book, because this is how Sharon explains her past traumas (of which she has many): “I bear the scars of the past all over me. But there's more to me than that.” 

The Damsel in Distress: Sharon does get kidnapped during his run, but what makes this not awful is that her masterminds behind her kidnapping are two women, and also that she’s a target because of her own actions. It’s not just a way to lure Steve into a trap -- Alexa Lukin is out for Sharon’s blood since Sharon killed her husband. 

Feeling the Bern: Steve gets accused of murder, Sharon is his only alibi, and he needs a lawyer. Coates’ brings in Steve’s ex-fiance, Bernie. Bernie is an awesome lawyer and cool person. Under a lesser writer, I’d expect there to be some friction between Sharon and Bernie because *gasp* exes and their new squeeze (although Sharon preceded Bernie) surely can’t get a long, but Coates writes them like mature adult women in this situation. God, I hate that the bar is this low.

The Daughters of Liberty:  Steve is in prison for a murder he didn’t commit, so Sharon enlists a team of super hero women to spring him out of jail. That’s right. A serious amount of page space is dedicated to a team of only women being badass and springing Captain America from jail. This team also features some of my favorite female characters: Invisible Woman, Misty Knight, Jessica Drew. Solicits also indicate that these ladies will be sticking around for a bit, so raise a class to Coates to surrounding Cap with capable women who are saving his ass.

Logical brain: hey, you should probably go to sleep. It's already 2 am.

Me: yes ok I suppose I see where you're coming from, but I'm stalking the Sharon Carter tag and having a breakdown about the fact that Chris Evans Marvel contract is up after these two movies and Emily VanCamp isn't in either of them so how is my Staron heart supposed to survive and will all my hopes and dreams of canon-ness be crushed?!
