CATFA Stark Expo Date

CATFA Stark Expo Date

This post piggybacks a bit off my last post about Brooklyn’s queer history. 

Ok, so I’ve always had a head-cannon that this scene did have a double date its just not the one that everyone in the crowd would assume. I think the couples are Stucky and the two ladies. There are a few reasons I think this makes sense in canon.

Let’s start with the Ladies. They’re holding each others hands through most of the scene and they pretty much always stand closer to each other than to their “dates.”

Moving on to Steve and Bucky. I think the second image says it all. After he sees the flying Stark Car Bucky doesn’t look to the lady he’s supposedly on a date with he looks to Steve. He wants to see Steve’s reaction; and honestly, tell me that face he’s making isn’t full of love, really. 

Also later on he has no qualms about ditching his “date” to go find Steve when he disappears. In fact when he sees Steve’s gone he looks down right scared for a moment! 

And honestly, the best part of this head-canon is that its not even that far fetched! It was incredibly common for gay men and lesbians to “date” and even get married to avoid arousing suspicion and putting themselves in danger. 

Steve and Bucky may have been at least semi open about their relationship when they were in Brooklyn surrounded by people like them but as soon as they left their borough they would have to hide again.

Ok I just watched Episode 2 and I enjoyed it. But like, someone at marvel had to pitch that storyline and the idea of that is just making me laugh! Like, I just imagine some writer who hasn't slept in 72 hours running purely on stale coffee bursting into a meeting and being like 

“Ya’ll. I have the greatest Idea for a What If Episode! Ok... So T’challa will be Star Lord, Yondu kidnaped him instead if Peter Q and they go on galaxy saving adventures together. Also Thanos is good and Nebula has blond hair.” 

And the Marvel execs being like “You crazy son of a bitch I’m in!”

Like it just makes me laugh. I feel like whoever the writers are they have been spending a lot of time on AO3 for this series so far. 

Overall just a really good episode and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

StevexBucky in Cannon

You could keep everything the same within the Captain America trilogy but make either Steve or Bucky a woman and they would have been a canon couple faster than you could say Marvel. The only reason they are not canon is because they are both men. No, I will not stop being mad about this.
