I am currently writing a paper on the music of the Captain America trilogy, and this has caused me to notice an exceedingly interesting detail that I previously missed. In The First Avenger, after Peggy shoots at Steve, a melody that sounds very similar to the Captain America theme plays. This repeats twice: one time when she puts the gun down and stalks away, and again while Steve and Howard are so shocked by what Peggy just did that they stare after her even as they continue their conversation.

This is quite disgusting, as it rather implies that Peggy just did something noble and honorable, or something that Steve would approve of, when this is not even close to the case. Steve would never be so thoroughly irresponsible and reckless, nor would he approve of such pettiness, or partake in it himself. Indeed, it is clear to see how betrayed Steve felt when he was cautiously ensuring that she was done shooting at him. The music also disingenuously tries to reframe the characters' reactions to her outburst as positive. The fact that the almost-Captain-America theme continues after Peggy leaves Steve and Howard staring after her endeavors to make it seem like their reaction is because they're impressed, rather than because they are stunned and dismayed as is far more likely.

And what's worse, this is not even the only time that the music disagrees with how the characters are acting in its haste to glorify Peggy and promote Steggy. Later in the movie, after Peggy kisses Steve without his consent, a happy little horn melody plays, even though it is pretty clear that the kiss upset Steve, and did not please him. The music seriously did a surprising amount of heavy-lifting for Steggy.

But in any case, this does help explain why so many people have no problem with Peggy assaulting Steve, and even see it as a good thing: the music is encouraging them to see it that way. This is yet another example of how influential framing can be.

I think I'll ask Sharon if Steve can get hickeys. I asked Steve if he'd let me see, but apparently, he hates science.

I'm hoping to launch a certain event in the upcoming months (probably starting March, but it's still tbd) and I was wondering, which of the characters I haven't written for yet, you'd like me to include in the future?

Commission Time!

I normally don't make posts like these but times are hard and I need to pay my bills! So I'm gonna be accepting commissions :^)

Sketches will start at $10, but prices may vary based on subject matter and such. Lined pieces will start at $15, same rules apply. Colored stylized pieces will start at $20, again with those same rules. I'll also be offering Black and Grey portraits starting at $30, cause those take me a lot longer and are a very different process. See some examples of my work below, and DM me if interested!! Thanks y'all.

It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you.

@runawaylabrat a starter just because :3

Carter had at one point never thought about having kids, hell if asked he would have looked at you like you were crazy. He wasn't the type. Plain and simple. Right? He was focused on advancing his career. That same career that had lead him straight to Ilia and his entire life changed. He wouldn't change it for the world. He couldn't think of his life without Ilia in it. He loved her dearrly, she was his daughter and nothing would take that from them.

It was because of all his over time, pain in the ass determination and focus on literally just about nothing else that allowed him a form of flexibility now that he did have other things to focus on. He would takena break from work everday to take the time to pick Ilia up from school and get her settled at home with Hank before he finished up the rest of his work day.

Those walks home have become his favorite part of his day.

Carter waited and watched as the carpool and walker students were dismissed, all flooding out the school's side door. In the sea of kids, there she was. Carter kneeled and held his arms out ready to hug her. "How was your day, Ilia?"
