If I see one more “artist” comment the same copy-paste MLM post on my stories asking for commissions on my fics, I may just have to take the petty route on them. Like if you’re gonna read and review and stuff, then do it!!!!!!

I felt like being controversial so here’s a critique for tonight: I think the MCU missed out on some beautiful storytelling for Steve’s arc (and yes, I will be mentioning Peggy, just for a bit). Let me explain:

Yes, Peggy is a wonderful character, and I love her. In the show Agent Carter, we got to see some character growth from her. While she mourned Steve and never forgot him, she still moved forward in life: getting married, having a family, and starting S.H.I.E.L.D.

Steve Rogers came out of the ice, his own timeline having passed by, his friends and comrades either dead or super old, and unfamiliar with the world he woke up to. However, he begins to make new friends, adapt to his new environment, and continue to do what he always wanted: to do the right thing.

Over the course of the films, we see Steve still mourning and yearning for a life he feels he missed out on. One with Peggy.

So why is Peggy a problem? She’s NOT. She was amazing.

Despite Steve accomplishing and growing in so many areas, the ending of Avengers: Endgame made Steve out to be someone who didn’t mature emotionally. Meaning, the ending felt more like fan service/a cop out and undermined Peggy’s character growth.

You can make the argument “but Steve went through hell and back for Peggy.” Honey, he went through hell and back for A LOT MORE than the girl he loved: Bucky, US citizens, people who couldn’t defend themselves, even the Avengers he fought alongside for so long despite the events of CW. There was a whole more to Steve than just Peggy.

Yes, Peggy is part of who Steve is, and I’m not here to dismiss that at all. I’m not saying “Steve should have fallen in love during his course as an Avenger” no. I am saying the story could have given him a much more meaningful ending. He does go back in time to see Peggy, but for closure. Telling her everything that had happened, having that dance he saved for her, but he stays in the future where he moves forward in life. And they’re both proud of each other.

Because if you think about, Steve was more yearning for nostalgia. I didn’t write the movies, but I am someone who watched them and likes to critique things.

This is all my opinion, and I’m open to discuss it

Reblog if you stand with abuse victims REGARDLESS of gender!

Men get raped, they get abused, and they have mental health problems. Yet, are literally laughed at when the mention any sort of sexual trauma. Men, I stand with you.

Something I once said on discord: “Think about this: male idols who don’t like veggies, will push each other around playfully, sometimes scream at creepy things, and also bite each other with no question or reason.... Male idols are basically giant eight year olds”

One year? Where has the time gone?

Did you guys have freezer cake? 🤣

I’m so happy for you and your husband!

Congratulations again and on the the cat baby

That’s a good question, and not yet🤣

Thank you so much! It’s been about a month since we got him. I found him by himself on the side of the road, so I picked him up and brought him home.

To anon, my and my husband’s first anniversary is in a few weeks, and the first year has been amazing!

Congratulations!

Married life is great! The first year was the hardest in my opinion but with the right partner it is all worth it!

Thank you! Married life has been absolutely wonderful. My husband and I are still figuring out routines and such, but four months in and it’s been a breeze.

Reblog if it's OK for other artists to draw your OCs

Sometimes I get too timid to send asks to ask. I want to see how many people are ok with artists drawing their OCs!

Genuine question: NCT DREAM is coming to the States in September, but when tickets go on sale, I need some advice: I’ve been watching some vids on how to get tickets, and most of what I’ve seen are ones for if you’re trying to get presale and/or VIP tickets. Do all of the tips also apply to just regular reserved seating? Asking since my husband is gonna try to get us tickets if the dreamies come to the city nearest us
