I really need to read or write the canon-divergent story where Steve realizes that the Winter Soldier is a victim before he realizes that the Winter Soldier is Bucky Barnes. Steve sees an equal — another super-soldier — and understands that he’s never had the choices Steve got; where so many of Steve’s friends think it’s crazy, but Steve decides to save him, anyway. 

(And the Winter Soldier wants to trust this man — this target — who’s offering help, and kindness, even though he has got no idea why).

It’s reckless, and borderline suicidal, but Steve does it — Steve finds a way to offer the Winter Soldier a way out from HYDRA, to give him protection, Steve defends him from everyone who says that he is a monster — without having ever even seen his face. 

Because Steve Rogers sees the best in everyone, and I want the AU where it is that quality that brings him back the person he loves most in the world. The AU where Steve takes the muzzle-mask off the Winter Soldier’s face the first time that the Winter Soldier lets him come close enough, and finds Bucky Barnes.

@wintergaydar this just came across my dash and I sadly realize this post is a year old, but I specifically need for you to write this story.

“I want to talk about what Obama has given us, what we should not take for granted, what we’ll miss when he’s gone. I want to talk about the persistence and work ethic of a former city planner. I want to talk about the nuanced political understanding of a Harvard-educated lawyer. I want to talk about the grassroots funding of a revolutionary political campaign. We can forever cherish the gains our country has made under his Presidency, from wider availability of insurance to the legalization (finally) of gay marriage. But who knows how much we may (depending on the outcome of the next election) come to miss watching a man of sense and compassion clearly delivering a beautifully crafted speech, not folkified or dumbed down, to an audience he respects and cares for?”

HOW THE FUCK IS THAT A POTATO

paging @copperbadge

How IS that a potato?

That is a potato which has either been cooked so long or at so high a heat (likely both) that the starches have broken down into sugars, which in turn began to carbonize. It’s like that picture that went viral of someone who forgot they were making caramel at work. That’s just what happens when sugars burn. 

Kudos to the chef though, I didn’t know you could achieve “forgot about the caramel” levels of burn with a baked potato. They’re so dense and full of moisture that they take forever just to cook; to burn a potato like that they had to have the oven up pretty high and leave it in for like, an entire afternoon. 

(Fun science experiment: take a small bite of raw potato and chew it. Keep chewing it. No, keep chewing it. Keep chewing it. Eventually your saliva and continued chewing breaks the starches down inside your mouth, and the potato will begin to taste sweet from the sugars the starches produced.) 

Put them in a microwave for 20 minutes. If you don’t want to use your microwave ever again.

Ohhhhh I never even thought about the microwave! I don’t like baked potatoes so I never make them, it never occurred to me you could nuke one.

what if marvel did little “shorts” before their movies, like disney and pixar do. 

and we could see a happy fun little three minute movie of domestic avenger life, like steve taking bucky to disney world for the first time, or darcy and jane dragging thor to the mall on a shopping spree but he ends up working it in every outfit he tries on, or clint and natasha getting really into a heated game of paintball but you don’t realize it’s paintball until the very end when natasha shoots him and you hear him groaning and see a giant splat of bright pink paint on his chest. 

Or Tony and Bruce measuring and talking quantities and reactions - science stuff - and they get into a heated debate about proper procedures and whatnot. Then at the end we find out they were trying to bake Pepper a birthday cake. And they end up exploding cake all over the kitchen.

holy shit I love when people make this post a thousand times better
