December Daily: Steve Rogers

[resonant]

wintercreek invites: Talk to us about Steve Rogers. Fic, meta, rambling, whatever. STEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE.

Oh, Steve! Your downcast face in the poster was the thing that lured me into the theater to see "Captain America" in the first place, even though at that time I thought that Marvel movies were likely to be Not My Kind Of Thing. Your homegrown scrappiness, surprising moments of sarcasm, and profound underlying sweetness made a fangirl of me, even though dark 'n' bespectacled is much more my type than blond 'n' built.

How I wish America were really like you.

How I wish America were really like you.

Indeed. This kind of looking-back (it's not quite nostalgia) makes me feel a little more empathetic than I otherwise might towards the folks who idolize Good Old Days with their Wholesome American Values.

Steve! Thank you for this - I love seeing what about Steve has drawn people in. (He's so Blond American Version of Benton Fraser to me, in some essential character ways, which is why he's in my fangirl sweet spot.)
