JUST NOTICED LAST NIGHT THAT BUCKY WAS ALSO ON A DRIP IN THE ENTIRE CHAIR SCENE
I know it’s a fucked up scene, I do, but that to me just is nOPE. What the fuck are they putting into his system on top of the mind wiping and the physical abuse and the conditioning.
“There have been reports of atypical behavior. Distraction, tiredness, irritability. Your coworkers are concerned that you’re struggling. One or two, I could brush off, but there is a clear pattern here.” Pierce takes off his glasses, rubbing at the bridge of his nose. He looks sorry to say it, and sorrier about whatever he’s gonna say next.
Steve tenses.
“Captain Rogers,” Pierce says sympathetically. “I know your transition has been difficult.”
“I like to think I’m handling it to the best of my ability,” Steve says.
Pierce leans forwards. “That is precisely my concern, Captain. You’re making your best effort and it’s not enough. You need help.”
The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
I envisioned Gwen listening to “Fix You” as I painted this. Been going through a lot, but I always find solace in my friends and in painting.
@oh-tobeafrog thank you for inspiring me with this galaxy brain take on my two favorite marvel heroes :)

“I’m one of 28 young ballerinas with the Bolshoi. The training is hard but the glory of Soviet culture and the warmth of my parents…my…parents…makes up for….” No. No. That’s not right. “I’m one of 28 Black Widow agents with the Red Room. The training is hard but the glory of Soviet supremacy and the warmth of my parents…all my…parents…makes up for…”

Gwen Stacy is Spider-woman. And it’s good, right? Helping people, saving people?
Except nobody ever sat Gwen Stacy down and said you can’t have it both and you can’t stop once you start and don’t you see you’re cannibalizing yourself?
She thinks she would have put on the mask anyway, eventually. But maybe she would have been a little more careful about it.
just hawkeye things✨
[ID: a digital drawing of Clint barton from the waist up. He’s singing the circle of life from the lion king and holding his dog (lucky) above his head. lucky looks like a golden retriever/labrador dog and he’s wearing a light purple bandanna.
Clint is wearing gray sweatpants, a red hoodie with a silver star in middle, and he has a bandage wrapped around his left hand and across his nose. his bright purple hearings aids are wrapped around his ears and he has a huge grin on his face]
I understand the appeal of wanting every adult hero to instinctively adopt teenage Peter Parker, but can it really beat the hilarity of acknowledging that at 15 Peter was 5'10", unusually buff, went by a moniker with Man in it, wore a creepy full face mask, and had a tightly guarded secret identity and probably a Queens accent thick enough to have come out of a jello mold, and adult heroes reasonably responded to him by going, “Wow, this grown man is an immature asshole for no reason.”
