"You know, I don't think I've ever seen you quite this relaxed before," she commented as she walked out to the balcony of their cabin. She smiled and slid her arms around him. "It's a good look for you, Captain Rogers." // @bunchofjackassesx

Psst. Hey, kid. Want to hear about another bronze equestrian sculpture?
This is The Angel of the City / L'angelo della citta (1948) by Marino Marini, installed at the entrance to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. The museum is housed in Guggenheim's former home, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, which stands directly on the Grand Canal.
I love this thing. Its proportions. Its strangely bulky angular grace. The weirdly flat horizontal of the horse's top line mirroring the rider's outstretched arms and feet. Those hands that look like the sculptor just said 'meh. good enough.'
The fact they're both so... happy.
So joyful. Or something.
What you might not know is this very important context: the original phallus was fully detachable and unscrewed like a lightbulb. For, uh, delicacy's sake...?
As Guggenheim wrote in her memoir:
“When the nuns came to be blessed by the Patriarch, who on special holy days, went by my house in a motorboat, I detached the phallus of the horseman and hid it in a drawer. I also did this on certain days when I had to receive stuffy visitors, but occasionally I forgot, and when confronted with this phallus found myself in great embarrassment. The only thing to do in such cases was to ignore it. In Venice a legend spread that I had several phalluses of different sizes, like spare parts, which I used on different occasions.”
― Peggy Guggenheim, Confessions of an Art Addict
ART.(TM)
Note, I said 'original phallus.' Sadly, it is alleged someone stole the original bronze cock at least once, and rumor has it that it happened so often the museum gave up and welded a permanent one in its place. This does, however, mean that theoretically at least one person out there owns a very particular piece of art history.

something so crazy-making about unhealthy mentor-protegé relationships. we're foils, we're mirrors, we're the same person, we're a parent and a child, we're lovers, we're enemies, we'd be better off without each other, we'd kill and die for each other

Adjusting to everything had been incredibly difficult for her, knowing and seeing all that she had. Although she loved Bucky dearly, Howard had been her best friend. Initially, she was furious and couldn’t imagine being in the same room as Bucky—until she was. Until she saw the eyes that were just Bucky and heard about all the terrible things they had made him do. “Hi,” Peggy said, smiling as she sat beside him. “You don’t look completely miserable, Sergeant Wallflower,” she teased, tilting her head with a smirk. “I do remember a time when you’d have girls hanging off either arm.”

"This is Peggy. She was cast as Dogpool in the film Deadpool & Wolverine. She was selected as the perfect sidekick to Wade Wilson after winning the title of Britain's Ugliest Dog. Despite having no acting experience she was a natural on set."
