I'm obsessed with their dynamic. Would have posted more, but Tumblr has a limit for gayness apparently.

It's so weird that people keep saying that Wanda's trauma is because of Tony. "Tony's weapons attacked her home! It's Tony's fault!" Actually, those weapons were sold by Obadiah Stane (if they were Stark Industries' weapons at all, but we'll ignore how the logo is wrong because it might just be a continuity error). Tony actually is the person who stopped Stane the instant he found out about it. So in fact, Tony is the one who prevented what happened to Wanda from ever happening again.

But for some reason we can't say that. Everyone cries foul. They say we're trying to erase Wanda's trauma. Instead of, you know, redirecting it to the proper source. But I guess it's easier to take up the narrative Wanda created (and loudly and consistently spouts) instead of looking at the truth (which is never said out loud in the movies and is left to be inferred). Because children don't understand how to think critically.

Public Service Announcement to Marvel Fans

Sarah Rogers is from Ireland, she is Irish. Her son, Steve Rogers, is Irish-American. In addition to speaking English, they'd likely natively speak Irish. They would not natively speak Gaelic.

While both Irish and Gaelic are in the Goidelic family of Celtic languages, they are two entirely different languages, spoken in two separate countries, both of which have their own separate histories and cultures.

Irish (also known as 'Gailege' in the Irish language, or less commonly and very confusingly 'Irish Gaelic' due to very poor anglicization*) is the language of Ireland and spoken by the Irish people.

Additionally, any translation resources you utilize for 'Gaelic' as a language will not give you the Irish language, because in English the word 'Gaelic', when referring to one specific language, refers only to the language of Scottland.

'Irish' is the conventional English term for the Irish language.

*Calling Irish 'Irish Gaelic' is very insulting to Irish speakers who fight to keep the language alive, as that name comes out of centuries of English ignorance and subjugation of all aspects of Irish identity and culture.

You know what, I'm so grateful for every single Steve Rogers lover on this site. The people who haven't let their opinion of him be influenced by bad writing, who have continued to love and support him even in the face of all the mischaracterisations and slander (worse than ever now thanks to EG), and who actively keep the true Steve Rogers alive and well in their fannish creations. Pretty much everybody loves Bucky (as they should!! Bucky is incredible and I love him just as much as I love Steve) but Steve doesn't get nearly enough love these days and it breaks my heart, and would no doubt break Bucky's heart too.

The real Steve Rogers is such a complex, wonderful, interesting, loveable and good character, who deserved so much better than he got. And I'm just really glad that despite the majority of people not being able to recognise that, there are still plenty of people out here who do know him, and who love him no matter what drivel Marvel tries to sell us about him. It's just very heartening to know he's still got all of us, so thank you all for that 💙
