I know Steve is really talented with his shield and is like an expert with it
but just imagine him smacking it in his face
or tripping over it
or waking up in the middle of the night and he shuffles off to the bathroom only to step on the edge of the shield and it smacks him in the shin and he curses loudly enough to wake up the other Howling Commandos who just sit up and start laughing at the way Steve is holding onto his leg and swearing
Seriously, though, super-soldier or not, watching Steve learn to use his shield must’ve been A+ comedy!
Steve throws it at some HYDRA goons but misses them by a mile and it bounces off a wall and flies out through a window, and Steve is just standing there, whoops, while Bucky rolls his eyes, takes out the enemies with his rifle, and jogs back outside to fetch the shield.
Steve hasn’t learnt the ctrl+c to crouch move yet; he holds the shield in front of his face and a HYDRA sniper shoots him in the thigh. Bucky facepalms because Steve you idiot, the shield only protects the bits of you actually behind it. Eventually, Steve masters the art of hiding his entire body behind the shield, tortoise-style, by ducking and having Bucky chuck pebbles at whatever parts of him are sticking out – of course Bucky has a wicked good aim and an even more wicked sense of humour, and Steve ends up with some rather embarrassing bruises.
The Commandos are on a stealth mission to infiltrate a secret HYDRA base, except the shield slips, falls, and does that rolling-metal-lid-dropped-on-the-ground sound like clang!!-grooiinnng-rooiinng-ooiinnnng-rnnnng-rrnng-rrnng-rrnng until Steve puts his foot on it. Everyone stops and just stares at him.
Also, my personal headcanon is that Steve once bet the shield in a hand of poker and Bucky won it. So it’s actually been Bucky’s shield since October 1944, Steve’s just borrowing it.

Little-Known Maria Hill Fun Facts
Like headcanons, except they’re canon.
I looove reading people’s headcanons, but it makes me sad that there are all these random treasures from the stories themselves (these come from a mix of the Marvel ‘verses) that no one seems to know about! So, for your fanwork-creating enjoyment:
- Maria’s favorite food is spaghetti with red sauce
- She also cares enough about pizza to have a favorite pizza parlor in the entire U.S. (Vinnie’s of Savannah, Georgia)
- However, she is not fond of dishes that are chicken-fried
- Plays, or at one point played, video games
- Was expelled from high school (or possibly middle school)
- Had a pet fish but it died
- Can swim in handcuffs
- Cuts her own hair
- Was in the Marines before SHIELD
- If you care, the canonical Answer to that one debate fandom is always having is that she was already with SHIELD when she was stationed in Madripoor (we don’t know where she was or what she did as a Marine)
- Has had the same car since she was nineteen years old
- Cheapskate. (Her Georgetown apartment is on the third floor of her walkup because it was fifty bucks cheaper. Fifty bucks’ difference, Hill? Does SHIELD really pay you that badly? Actually, if we go by Isaiah the Lawyer’s complaints about Natasha’s pay, it probably does)
- Or maybe she was just saving for eighteen months to afford her nINE HUNDRED DOLLAR headphones. Damn gurl
- Hates reporters
- The only people she hates more than reporters are politicians
- She sleeps with a gun under her pillow (specifically, this is from EMH, so it’s her sci-fi laser pistol
- The only items lying around her office aside from desk clutter/office materials are a coffeemaker and a couple of submachine guns
- Out of uniform, she tends to wear practical attire; lots of jeans and boots
- Admires Nick Fury (but ain’t NEVER gonna admit it)
- Likes jetpacks, well-laid plans, and rose-tone nail polish
- Not afraid of you
I might go back and source these/add panels when I have time; let me know if you want the panel/source for a specific one!
#I can’t even fucking tell you guys #how much I love Rhodey’s whole ‘rolling with it’ attitude with shit #this is what I aspire to be like #just #’got burned out of my suit’ #’rolling with it’ #’dude breathes fire’ #’can deal with it’ #’Tony has 47 fucking thousand suits’ #’I got a .45 and a green polo shirt’ #’I can do this man’#rHODEY FOR PRESIDENT (via iamwarmachine)
#oh god now i actually want to write Rhodey For President#Tony finances the whole campaign easily#it’s a joke until rhodey realizes how shit the other candidates are#RHODEY BECOMES PRESIDENT#THE SECRET SERVICE HATES HIM BECAUSE HE’S WAR MACHINE AND IS ALSO A SUPERHERO
And he still goes chasing after Tony when Tony does stupid shit. The Secret Services eventually institutes a Code Stark, meaning “The president flew off again to pull Stark’s ass out of the fire. May as well break out the beer and cards. They’ll be back in two days, and then the PR Department will be working overtime to cover up the explosions.”
honestly, the biggest problem I have with Clint and his secret farm family isn’t because of my Clintasha shipper heart or whatever
it’s because it means that MCU Clint actually, canonically, has his shit together and is not a human disaster. He’s got a family and a farm and he manages to keep both of these secret and safe. He has, by far, the most kept together life of any of the Avengers and probably shakes his head and sighs deeply while commiserating with Laura over how he worries about his teammates sometimes
and just…
HUMAN DISASTER CLINT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME OKAY
WHERE HAS MY DUMPSTER TRASH BABY GONE?!?
It does make me super fucking curious as to what the hell happened in Clint’s life that he managed to swerve right around Human Disaster Who Drinks Coffee Out Of The Carafe Because Cups Are For People With Their Lives Together and head straight to Happy Family Man Who Does Way Too Many DIY Projects and Colors With His Kids
Thought 1: This is pretty much a good example of the movies being different from a lot of the comics, and the comics themselves having multiple universes.
Thought 2: We got a very, very small glimpse of their life. In the other movies he’d been in before, we got tiny glimpses of Clint. The secret farm means that Laura (mostly) has her life together, and happens to be willing to stick with a husband in a high risk job. Clint, for all we’ve seen, might still be a complete human disaster.
Laura is running that farm. Laura is getting those kids fed and clothed and educated. Clint is home often enough that Natasha is “Aunty Nat!” to the kids and also clearly Laura’s friend.
Clint has home repair projects lined up. He colors with his kids. My dad taught me to ride a bike. He took us sailing. He’s not a complete human disaster, but I don’t think I’d describe him as having his shit together when I was little.
What we got here is Clint “Cram As Much Family Time In Before The Next Assignment Possible” Barton.
oh man this is why I can never post a comment and then go offline for a couple days because I ALMOST MISSED THIS BEAUTIFUL REPLY AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A TRAGEDY
You are absolutely right, Clint could definitely be a complete human disaster who happens to have fallen heart (and then genitals) first into a relationship with a woman who finds his fail!self ADORABLE
And wow, I do totally bet that all this home-repair came about when Laura was pregnant the first time and Clint was frantically like ‘WHAT DO DAD’S DO. LAURA WHAT DO DADS WHO HAVE THEIR LIFE TOGETHER DO’
‘Clint calm the fuck down’
‘HELLO CALM THE FUCK DOWN I’M DAD. WAIT I FUCKED THAT UP. I CAN’T EVEN DADJOKE RIGHT LAURA I AM A FAILURE’
‘Clint go hyperventilate in the attic I’m planning our crops for next year’
‘THE ATTIC IS A DEATHTRAP LAURA. I KNOW BECAUSE I DESIGNED IT TO DEATHTRAP ANYONE WHO MIGHT FIND US’
‘Maybe go un-deathrap it then honey’
‘YES. OH MAN. I WILL MAKE IT A COOL PLAY-ATTIC FOR THE KIDS. THAT’S WHAT COOL DADS DO RIGHT??? THEY MAKE PLAY-ATTICS??? THEY WILL PLAY IN THE ATTIC AND THINK I’M A COOL DAD’
‘ya-huh, have fun honey’
And now Clint has latched onto the idea of ‘home repair = COOL DAD’ with all the single-minded vigor of a toddler on a sugar rush
By which I mean that Clint is still a bit of a human disaster but one who has more to try to pretend to have his life together for than 616!Clint. Thank you for helping me wrap my head around this
also wow I never really thought about how much fandom loves our human disasters until just now. Excellent point.
I feel as though this accurately depicts the relationship between Bruce Banner and Tony Stark.
Birds of paradise are the best birds.
there’s nothing actually stopping disney from adding Kermit to infinity war
I love you all. You know that. But I had a terrible day yesterday (scary medical news, got stabbed three times in a failed effort to draw blood, missed out on picking up meds by five minutes because the vet’s office closed).
Would someone please write Missy Piggy and Agent Carter foiling spy rings and kicking bad guys in the balls? PLEASE?
Peggy Carter kicked down the flimsy door. The two Soviet spies she’d been tracking for the last month looked up from their bomb assembly line. One grabbed for the Luger on the table as he snarled Russian curses. Peggy–wary of firing a gun in the fume-filled, tiny room–glanced to the side, saw the blocky radio they’d been using to communicate with Moscow, picked it up, and hurled it at the man’s head. He let out a startled cry and raised his arms to fend off the projectile; it crashed to the ground, its delicate transistors shattering. Before he could fire the gun he still clutched, Peggy was on him, delivering a half dozen punishing blows before he could even rise from his chair.
As Peggy vented her fury, the spy with a more highly developed sense of self-preservation snatched a completed bomb from the table and dashed through the door. Peggy pulled away from her one-sided fight, but not quickly enough to catch the second spy, who was halfway down the rickety wooden steps that led to the shut-down factory floor. She retrieved the portable radio she’d tucked in her jacket and keyed it to transmit.
“All agents, I have a runner. Close on the factory and do not let him escape–he has one of the stolen Stark bombs and he must not be allowed to use it.”
The first spy staggered from his chair, fists raised. “You Leviathan fellows certainly seem to have more guts than sense,” she commented, and decked him with a perfect roundhouse punch before turning her back on the bomb-makers’ lair. “I need men on the workshop,” she said into her radio. “Secure those bombs and get them to Stark, I want them defused immediately.”
As the SSR agents closed in, the remaining spy surveyed the situation. Quickly and coolly, he ducked into the shadow of a hulking press and waited. When the nearest SSR agent passed, gun at the ready, the spy slipped from his hiding spot and padded silently past him. He slid through the doors and crossed through the factory gates; once outside, he assumed a normal (if brisk) gait to walk by the assembled black SSR Fords. The lethal bomb waited invisibly in his jacket pocket as he planned his route toward the sidewalks of Broadway, crowded with tourists and theater-goers. Perhaps Leviathan’s original plan could not be accomplished, but he could still strike a blow against the blackened heart of the imperialist American regime …
As he plotted, a diminutive figure stepped from an alley into his path.
“Not so fast, buster.”
The man’s steps faltered as he squinted. The orange security light mounted to the side of the building behind the figure left its face mostly in shadow, but he could see … a snout? He touched his jacket pocket to make sure the bomb was still there, then reached for the gun tucked at the small of his back.
“I don’t know who you are, little pig, but you’d better move,” he said, then drew the gun and aimed it. “Or I’ll send you squealing back to the farm.”
The tiny figure didn’t flinch from the gun; instead, she seemed almost to vibrate with anger.
“Don’t. Call. Me. PIG!” she cried and leaped forward. “HIII-YAH!”
The man hardly had time to react as the little pig’s high kick landed directly on his crotch. He gasped in pain.
“HIIII-YAH!” she cried again and delivered a precise and devastating karate chop to the hand still clutching the gun, sending it flying. A flurry of follow-up blows soon had the man stretched insensible on the sidewalk.
“Agent Piggy, come in,” her radio crackled. The deadly and beautiful agent flipped her hair out of her face before retrieving her radio.
“Agent Carter, I have the miserable miscreant at my feet,” she said. She bent and searched his pockets. “AND I have the bomb, too.”
“Good work, Agent Piggy. I’ll send a team to retrieve the spy and the bomb to your location.”
“No hurry,” she said. “He’s not going anywhere.”
—later that night—
“I’m sorry to see you go, Agent Piggy,” Peggy said. “It’s been … refreshing to work with you.”
“Please, call me Miss Piggy,” she said, shaking Peggy’s hand. “I’m not an agent. Just a humble citizen keeping her Kermie safe.”
Peggy’s eyes turned sad. “As we all try to do, Miss Piggy. I wish you good luck.” She looked up. “Mr. Jarvis?”
“This way, ma’am,” Jarvis said to the pig, gesturing toward the Packard. “Mr. Stark will be flying you back himself, in gratitude for the role you played in foiling this dastardly plot.”
“If he hits on you, punch him,” Peggy advised, smiling. Miss Piggy smiled.
“And what if I hit on him?”
“I wouldn’t advise it,” she said. “But I’ve heard he does an excellent fondue.”
The two women laughed, but their amusement was short-lived. “If you ever need me to kick someone in the tennis balls, just let me know, Agent Carter,” Miss Piggy said.
“Peggy,” she replied. “Call me Peggy. And thank you. I may very well do so.”
“Peggy,” Miss Piggy said, and they shook hands once more before Miss Piggy climbed into the Packard. Jarvis shut the door, nodded at Peggy, and climbed inside. Peggy watched them drive toward their airfield and wondered if Miss Piggy would have made the same offer if she knew quite how soon Peggy might have to ask for her aid again. It didn’t matter now, she supposed; she would never shadow Miss Piggy’s reunion with her beloved Kermit by mentioning the dark threat that yet loomed over them. But the time would come, soon, that Agent Peggy Carter would need to call on Miss Piggy again; and when she did, it would be more than New York City at stake.
omg ❤ ❤ ❤
