I’ve compiled posts across tumblr talking about Steggy, their sacrifices, Steve’s depression & PTSD, and feeling like a man out of time. I hope this gives Steggy fans support with the haterade against Avengers: Endgame. If I find more, or if you want to message me, I’ll add to this. Hope you enjoy!

And as farfetched as it may be, I can't stop thinking that Cap went back with his lost love because 'his' (HIS Tony, from HIS time) true love was dead.
Steve asking Peggy "do you fondue" in an attempt to prove to her that he gets references and slang has the same energy as Steve half-turning towards Tony in the Helicarrier before saying "i understood that reference"
--
Steve flirts by trying to prove to the person he's attracted to that he gets references and slang so they'll think he's smart and witty and then f*** him cuz his type is smart and witty
