    happy bi visibility week with cap squad ♡ ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* (◕‿◕✿)/ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ ﾟ✧ (♡)

    I really do think the aggressive “everyone is bisexual” stance is part of why I love this fandom so much.

    and I’m always honest

    Favourite scene maybe?

    BLACK WIDOW: U r 2 pure to understand my dark edgy ways.

    CAPTAIN AMERICA: No I believe in u! 

    BLACK WIDOW: Imagine that you are the damsel in distress—

    CAPTAIN AMERICA: I can TOTALLY imagine that.

    BLACK WIDOW: Could I be your TRUE KNIGHT?

    CAPTAIN AMERICA: Yes absolutely ten four A plus would damsel again. I realise my misgivings based on your roguish spy ways were ill-founded and that you are a truly honourable lady.

    I thought Captain America 2 was awesome because it gave this fun arc to Natasha (morally ambiguous super-competent character, searching for redemption, despairing of own darkness) and also depicted this comradeship, of two people who are very different learning to trust each other absolutely and fight together against evil, which is most often given to two guys. (Indeed, it happened between Captain America and Iron Man in Avengers. I liked it more here though, because there was no dismissal and no annoyance, but serious concerns about morality and real efforts to connect plus extensive sassing.)

    I liked Natasha in Iron Man 2 but really loved her in Avengers and now loved her even more in Captain America 2 (which I largely saw for her) which I feel proves there should be a Black Widow movie. Also it proves something I strongly believe in generally, in media, which is that no representation is the great evil. Imperfect representation leads to improving representation, while no representation just leads to miles and miles of nothing.

    I had a desire after Avengers to see Captain America buy that dame a milkshake, which none of my friends understood, but I feel that now it was clearly a foreseeing on my part that these two characters would work excellently together. I am a prophet.

    And it was nice that it was explicitly a relationship of comrades. Steve doesn’t trust Natasha because she’s super sexy (though she is—her dark past is never treated as a sexy time either) or because he lurves her (he’s the one who, when she says ‘Who do you want me to be?’ asks ‘How about a friend?’) He trusts her because he already knows that she’s smart and capable and he sees now that she cares. And their very different perspectives end up not being so incompatible after all.

    … given all that, I still wanted them to make out for real, because I am a monster.

    You are not a monster. We are all monsters.
