I love the dichotomy between Steve's wardrobe in CA:TWS vs. A1

In Avengers (2012), every aspect of his life, right down to his haircut and the clothing on his back, is controlled by Shield.

They dress him like an old man, forcing him into a narrow box, in an attempt to force him to fit the image of the myth of Captain America.

His hair is styled as if he's just stepped out of the 1940s. His clothes are similarly out of style, dressed in poorly fitting and dated clothes as if he's an elderly man holding tightly to his youth as he inches closer to the grave.

There is no moment where it's even considered that he's a person with his own likes or dislikes, not simply a title and mythology burdened with a million expectations no one could ever live up to.

In Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), when Steve finally has some degree of autonomy, there is a major shift in how he dresses.

He lives alone in Dupont Circle, D.C.'s preeminent queer neighbourhood.

He drives a more modern motorcycle.

He has a modern haircut.

He has developed a distinct style, most notably marked by the ridiculously tight shirts, that is decidedly excepted for a modern young man.

While we see sprinkles of his past, the old record player in his apartment crooning wartime music, he easily fits into the present day as he diligently works at adapting to the 21st century and building a life.

As he says in the next movie, I'm home.

so many people not wanting to give kudos to ao3 works that they like if said works contain smut, because they're not comfortable having their accounts attached to the works. and the intention of this post is in no way to guilt trip or manipulate people into doing anything. that being said, I'd like to let you know that if you want to give your favorite authors kudos on their works that contain smut (or works that do not contain smut), but are not comfortable with your name being attached to the works, you can still give them kudos by logging out of your account before doing so. this way your kudos will appear as kudos from a guest user, your favorite authors will still receive your kudos, and your account will not be attached to the works ♡

The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF

Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid

Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship

Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for

The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining

The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read

It’s THAT simple

Had to ban the phrase “tricky dick” from my classroom during watergate lesson because saying the word dick in front of 30 fifteen year olds is like lighting a bomb and throwing it through the doorway but now they’re just calling him Richard the Treacherous like they’re all medieval peasants. gonna lose it

just saw a fanfic on ao3 have a dedication for chatgpt... that section is meant for your horny perverted mutual who proofread your work, you violated sacred law and you will be torn apart and laid bare btw
