a very special shout out to @karamelcoveredolicity for the beautiful gif of my baby tex, pls go check out their gifsets they’re phenomenal !!

Out of all the girls he could’ve had, it had to be you. It was torturous, really — being surrounded by women every day living on the ranch, never feeling right in his decisions when it came to finding love, but just simply knowing as soon as he laid eyes on you. He’d tried with a few of the girls, but they never worked out. His position in the sort of ‘hierarchy’ that took place on the ranch never faltered, thankfully, but that was another reason he never chased after that dream of finding the one. He didn’t wanna screw anything up — not when Charlie would have his head, quite literally, if he did make any major screw ups. So he figured he’d steer clear of women for now, chalking it up to it just ‘not being in the books’ for him. Maybe he was destined for other things, maybe it wasn’t what God had intended for him.

But then you came along.

Gorgeous, entrancing, the sweetest smile and prettiest laugh he’d ever encountered. He watched you for a while before he made his move. He was thankful for that opportunity so he could learn some of your habits, your routines, he even memorized your mannerisms which he would dream about every night he went to sleep.

There was one particular moment, that he was watching you, when he knew you were the one. Music blasting, you were dancing around your kitchen, wearing nothing but a tank top and panties, your hair a mess and your angelic voice singing into a wooden spoon as you followed along with the lyrics. He’d never seen a sight quite like you. He was in love — purely, and utterly in love.

It was really too bad he had to kill you.

The scream that left your mouth twinged at his heart when he stood in front of you, gun in his hand as he pointed it at you. “I don’t wanna hurt you, darlin’.”

“Tony! Tony!” you screamed, calling out for the man of the house, but there was no answer. Tex thought this Tony guy you were longing for was your husband — he was your brother, but Tex didn’t know that yet. Maybe if he had known that he wouldn’t have been so fast to click the safety off of his gun.

“He can’t help you now,” Sadie spoke from beside him, her grip on her knife firm. “You’re in God’s hands.”

“Oh Jesus Christ — Tony!” you were shrieking at the top of your lungs, back flushed against the kitchen counter as you stood with your arm raised.

“Fuckin’ shoot her, Tex!” one of the girls yelled from behind him, but all Tex could focus on was the terrified expression on your face. He didn’t wanna be doing this. He never paid attention to the look on his victim’s faces before now, and the feeling that he got from the sight wasn’t a good one. It was filled with guilt, terror, realization that he was better than this. And more than anything, you didn’t deserve this. Just hours before you were dancing around your kitchen singing to Whitney Houston. Your innocence was beautiful, he thought, and he didn’t wanna be the reason no one ever saw that again. That he never saw that again.

“I can’t,” he whispered, and he wasn’t sure if anyone had even heard him. Until Sadie was scoffing, muttering something along the words of, “I’ll do it myself.” She advanced towards you, the terror unmatched in your eyes, and before Tex could think straight he was pointing his gun at Sadie and pulling the trigger.

In a blur his whole world had turned upside down, and next thing he knew he was ushering you out of the house and the two of you were sprinting down the street. You were wearing nothing but an oversized shirt, no shoes, barefoot running down the pavement with your life in your hands — or, in Tex’s hands. You stopped when you came upon an important intersection, and Tex grabbed your arm and dragged you around a corner behind a few bushes. It hadn’t even occurred to him that you could be running from him, until you were pulled flush against his chest with an impossible look of terror on your face. He knew you would scream so before you had the option, Tex put his hand over your mouth, backing you up into a cement wall. He took the time to look around before turning back to you, eyebrows raised.

“Not a sound, got it?” He spoke to you like a teacher would a student, and you nodded before he slowly took his hand away. You wanted to scream, wanted to run, do something, but under his gaze you could only stand still, frozen in your spot. “He’s gonna find us. Word is gonna get back and we’re both gonna be dead before sunrise.”

You still didn’t speak.

“Are you okay?” His eyes, which previously held a cold glare, faltered slightly at your petrified expression, and it was at his question that you finally gave in. The tears pricking at your eyes suddenly burst down your cheeks, a sob leaving your lips as your knees buckled, and Tex was catching you before you could hit the ground. He sat with you while you cried, his hands still holding your arms.

“You– you were gonna kill me. You had a gun, and… and…” You could barely get your words out, interrupted by your sobs, but Tex knew what you were getting at. He let go of your arms, watching as you hugged yourself once you were finally rid of his touch, and his heart broke. His lower lip trembled before he grasped it between his teeth. “You– you– you’re gonna kill me. I’m dead, I’m dead.”

“Hey,” he whispered, reaching out, but you flinched away. Your eyes darted up and met his, both pairs of eyes glossed over with tears. You didn’t know why his were. “I’m not gonna hurt you, Y/N.”

“You had… a g-gun.”

Tex sighed and you watched incredulously. “We need to find somewhere safe to go. Where I can… explain all of this to you. I can’t here. We’re not safe.” He looked at you while he was speaking, noticing the slight confusion in your brows. “He’ll find us here. He’ll kill us.”

“Who?”

“That’s what I need to explain.” Tex got to his feet, offering you a hand. You just looked up at him blankly, and he sighed again. “Please trust me.”

“Why would I trust you,” you said, finding your voice, “when you held a gun to my head only ten minutes ago?”

His jaw shifted at your words. You were right. “Because,” he started, his hand still extended to you, “if I was gonna kill you, I would’ve.”

His harsh words were nothing compared to the realization that came with them. So you nodded, taking his hand in yours, and then you were running again.

The two of you found your way to a motel on the east side of town, opposite of the ranch and hopefully far enough away that nobody could find you. You settled in, as settled as you could get with that dark feeling looming over you, while Tex went down to find some clothes for the two of you from the lost and found. He came back up with what looked like everything in the box, and you took your pick of sweatpants and a hoodie. While you were leafing through the discarded clothes, Tex sat on the edge of the bed, eyes trained on you.

“Do you trust me?” he said, and you looked up from your spot on the bed only three feet away. His blue eyes were entrancing, full lips glossy as you watched his tongue dart out to wet them every few seconds, a nervous habit. You shrugged. “It’s a yes or no question.”

“You tried to kill me.”

“I already told you, if I wanted to I would’ve.”

“You’re not doing much to help your case,” you muttered, playing with the fabric of the hoodie in your lap. “Hard to trust you when you have a loaded weapon on you.”

Tex looked down at the gun tucked into his boot, and he pulled it out. He saw your eyes widen but he quickly relieved your fears – he unloaded it. “I won’t hurt you,” he said, eyeing you carefully as your gaze was held on the firearm. “Y/N.” You looked up. “Please trust me.”

“Who’s to say you’re not gonna kill me in my sleep?”

“Why would I go through all the trouble of bringing you here to do that?” he answered quickly, like it was rehearsed, like he knew what you were going to say. You stayed quiet at that, and he knew he had you stumped. “You know I’m right.” You shrugged again. “Can I teach you how to use this?”

“The gun?”

He nodded. “In case you need to.” You shrugged once again, and Tex moved to sit a bit closer. He didn’t show it, but he was happy when you didn’t flinch away this time. “Load it,” he said, slamming the ammunition up into the cartridge. “Then you have to cock it. Like so.” He followed his words with the given actions. Your eyes never left his hands. “This is the important part. Safety on-” He clicked it on, “-Safety off.” He clicked it off. His eyes glanced up to yours, eyebrows raised. “Got it?”

“Got it.” You reached out, and Tex looked at you, surprised, before handing you the gun. “Safety off,” you said, looking at him. He nodded. “Safety on.” You clicked it back on.

“You’re a pro,” he teased, and for the first time that night, you smiled. “I’m gonna have a quick shower. You okay out here alone?”

“I’m gonna watch tv,” you said, settling into the pillows at the head of the bed as Tex stood up. He nodded, watching as you carefully placed the gun next to you on the bed. He bit his lip, forcing back a smile as he rummaged through the pile of lost and found items to grab a change of clothes. He needed a shower, he felt disgusting — suddenly every job he’d been on, every person he’d killed, was weighing on him heavily. Sick to his stomach only began to describe the feeling in his gut, in his heart, and he hoped as he headed to the bathroom that a shower could help.

Fortunately it did — not by much, but he was feeling a little better by the time he walked into your room. You were sitting in the same position on the bed as you were before he left, now chewing on your fingernails as your eyes were glued onto the tv. Some show he didn’t recognize was playing, and it had you fixated. Maybe it wasn’t the show – he could tell you were in your head.

“You okay?” he mumbled, crossing the room as he went to turn off the light in the bathroom. You looked up, laying your eyes on the boy for the first time in a few minutes. His appearance was different now – grey sweatpants were the only article of clothing he wore, his shirtless state complimenting his abs nicely. This was the first time you really looked at him. He was drying his hair with a towel, body twisted slightly as he shook out the water.

“I’m fine.”

He missed your hand gripping the gun firmly at your hip laying on the bed, blind to Tex’s side of the room.

“You sure?” He cracked a smile, turning around to throw the towel over the bathroom door. Taking the opportunity, you clicked the safety off of the gun, just like he’d shown you, and your fingers twisted tighter around the metal firearm.

When Tex turned around, he was faced with the muzzle of a gun, and he paused. To your surprise, he wasn’t scared. He didn’t flinch, didn’t bat an eye — instead, he just peered around the gun, making eye contact with you. “I ain’t gonna hurt you, Y/N.”

“How do I know that? You had this thing pointed at me an hour ago when you were gonna kill me.” Your hands trembled as you held the weapon, but Tex was more focused on calming you down.

“Put the gun down,” he said. You didn’t waiver — your hands only got shakier.

A few seconds went by before Tex brought a hand out and simply took the gun from you. You allowed it, your arms falling by your sides with the much-needed release of the weight that thing carried, and you watched as he disengaged it before setting it on the bedside table and moved to climb in beside you. You watched him eerily, like a hawk and its prey, and Tex paused as he looked back at you.

“You scared of me?”

“A little,” you admitted. He shook his head, rubbing a hand over his jaw as he closed his eyes for a moment. “Why didn’t you kill me?”

His eyes opened. “What?”

“You were supposed to kill me. Why didn’t you?” The way your eyes gleamed, still a little glossy from the inevitable tears fighting their way to the front, made Tex’s heart soar. He’d never felt this feeling before, the butterflies in his stomach, the fast beating of his heart. All he wanted to do was hold you, make the tears go away. But he couldn’t — not yet, at least, until he made sure you trusted him completely.

“You're different,” he answered, and the confused tilt of your head made him smile. “I been doin’ this whole killing thing a long time, darlin’, and I don’t want to anymore. I never did. But I didn’t have a choice.”

“Well whose choice is it?” you asked.

“Charlie’s.”

“Who’s Charlie?”

“He’s Charlie,” Tex said, and you furrowed your eyebrows at that. Tex chuckled slightly. “I don’t know how to explain it. He… He makes me do these things. I never thought anything of it. Not till you.”

“Not till me?”

He shook his head. “I been doin’ this since I could remember. Charlie… He gave me a lotta things. Things I’m grateful for. But this… I don’t wanna do it anymore. I saw you and how scared I made you and I— I can’t keep hurtin’ innocent people. It ain’t fair.” His eyes narrowed. “Especially you.”

Your gaze softened. A million thoughts were running through your head, most of them including the way Tex’s hand was now placed on your knee soothingly, but you had to shake yourself out to continue. “Then stop doing it.”

“I’m going to. Sadie was the last one.”

“Who’s Sadie?”

“The girl I—” He cut himself off when he saw the realization hit you, and he spared the details. “She would’ve killed you. But I– I ain’t doing this any longer. I don’t want you to be scared of me, Y/N. Please believe me.” When he finished talking, all there was to do was stare at each other, and it was a long three minutes before you moved over in the bed, signifying that you were okay. Tex joined you.

“You trust me now?” he asked as you slid down in the bed, staring up at the ceiling as your head rested on the pillow. You rolled your head over to look up at him, and you watched as Tex shut off the tv before pulling himself down to your level. He rolled onto his side, elbow holding him up as he looked at you.

“I don’t know.”

“Okay,” he said, lips twitching as his eyes darted between yours. “That’s better than a no.” You pressed your lips into a line, looking back at him, and then the two of you were back to staring at each other. You broke it off before too long, reaching over to shut the light off.

“Goodnight, Tex.”

“Goodnight, Y/N.”

***

Tex woke you up at four in the morning the next day. He was dressed and freshened up, kneeling on your side of the bed as he shook you awake slightly. “Y/N… Y/N, we gotta wake up now.” You mumbled incoherently as a response, rolling over onto your other side. Tex was persistent as he stood up, kneeling onto the mattress as he reached over you to tap your face gently. “Wake up. Y/N.”

“Five more minutes,” you slurred, eyes not even bothering to open as you swatted him away. If he wasn’t frantic to get out of town, Tex would find the whole scenario amusing. But he had things to worry about, and no time to admire how adorable you were in the morning.

“Come on, Y/N. We need to leave.”

“Sleeping,” you moaned, grabbing ahold of Tex’s hand which kept patting you on the cheek. Instead, you pulled it into your chest, nearly dragging the boy’s body over your’s, and Tex groaned as he pulled you to sit up. He sat behind you for support, his arms around you as you whined. “I’m sleeping.”

“I think Charlie knows we’re here.”

Suddenly, you were awake. “What?” You looked over at the boy, blinking your eyes a few times to adjust to the darkness. It wasn’t even light in the room, that’s how early it was. “How?”

“It’s all over the news – the lady at the front desk might’ve recognized you. We have to go. Come on.” The two of you were getting up, Tex standing near the door with his arms crossed while you scrambled to pull on a pair of pants. “I got all our shit packed, we need to go.”

You slipped on a hoodie, toeing your shoes on as well as Tex hiked a duffel bag over his shoulder. It was then that you noticed a set of keys in his hand, and you furrowed your eyebrows up at him as you pulled your heel into your shoe. “Whose keys are those?” you asked, and Tex shook his head.

“Don’t worry about it. Let’s go.” The two of you headed outside, rushing down the stairs, and you followed as close behind Tex as you could, but the boy’s long legs gave him an advantage. He was walking towards a car, nicer than you could afford, and it wasn’t until he opened the door to throw your bag in that you shook your head.

“Whose car is this?”

“I said don’t worry about it. Now get in.” He ducked into the driver’s seat and you followed suit, buckling up while he was pulling out of the parking lot. You were on the freeway in no time, silence settling comfortably between the two of you. It was weird, you thought, how close you felt to him now. Just hours before, he was holding you at gunpoint, and now you were sitting in comfortable silence with the boy. Admiring him. Watching his jaw clench, his biceps flex when he shifted gears. He sat comfortably in the driver’s seat, left foot working the clutch while his right stepped on it, getting you out of the city as fast as possible. His legs were long, really long, and well, you know what they say about grey sweatpants. You didn’t realize you physically shook yourself out of your own head before he looked over at you.

“What?”

“What?”

“You shook your head,” he said, and your cheeks flushed but you furrowed your eyebrows in protest.

“No I didn’t.”

“Yeah you did,” he responded, and was that a smirk toying at his lips? Lord help me, you thought. “What were you thinking?”

“About where you got this car,” you lied, and Tex rolled his eyes as he looked back at the road. He dropped a gear, stepping on the throttle before shifting again as he passed a series of vehicles.

“I know people.”

“Did you even sleep? It’s…” You looked at the time on the dash. “Four in the morning. We went to sleep at one.”

“Don’t worry about me, princess.” He shifted in his seat, switching his right arm to the steering wheel while his elbow rested on the window, hand working his way through his dark hair, which was pulled into a bun. You never really had a thing for guys with long hair… until meeting Tex, of course. But then again, you never really had a thing for serial killers, either.

“Where are we going?”

“You’re just full of questions this morning,” he avoided the question, which told you he didn’t really know, and you looked at him blankly with your arms crossed. “You know, I liked you better asleep.”

“I liked you better when you were trying to get me to trust you,” you retorted, and Tex glanced in your direction. “You were kinda sweet then, but now you’re just an ass.”

“So you trust me now?”

“What?”

“You trust me,” he stated, and although it wasn’t a question, you argued anyway.

“No I don’t.”

“Yeah you do,” he said, smirking over at you before turning his attention back to the road. A sign you passed read ‘end of city limits.’ “Wasn’t lying when I said you’re better asleep. Don’t talk nearly as much. You did say my name a couple times last night though. Wet dream or something?”

“Shut up,” you exclaimed, smacking his arm, and Tex let out a deep-hearted laugh. It was a sincere moment, one that had the two of you laughing and forgetting all about your current situation, until Tex suddenly went silent. You hadn’t heard the radio playing until that was all you were hearing, and it was ringing in your ears.

Charles Manson was dead, they explained over the channel, and by the look on Tex’s face, it was the same man he kept referring to. His boss, you thought of him as, the man he was convinced was after them. He was dead, and all of his disciples had been caught as well. Except for one.

“Tex?” you said, and your voice felt frail. Tex was swallowing, his mouth dry as he ran a hand over his jaw. “Is that him?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s good… right?”

Tex stayed silent. You wondered if that was wrong of you to say. He turned the volume up on the stereo to listen more intently, but the breaking news segment was over as quick as it’d came. The station went back to the music they were playing before, and you reached over to turn the volume down.

“I guess,” Tex finally said, “I guess that’s good.”

“Are they looking for you?” you asked, eyes burning a hole into his temple as you stared at the boy. His knuckles were white as he gripped the steering wheel, and he shrugged half-heartedly. “You’re… you’re one of them. That they’re looking for.”

“They don’t know my name,” he said.

“What about–”

“They don’t know anything about me,” he finished, glancing over at you. Relief washed over you, a weight you didn’t know why you carried being lifted as you smiled at the boy. You touched his arm.

“That’s good. You’re free.”

“Yeah.” He didn’t sound thrilled. His jaw worked, fingers tapping against the dash as he focused his gaze on the road. You sat back in your seat, letting the silence cast over you now. It wasn’t nearly as comfortable as before.

Hours passed before either of you spoke again. You’d fallen asleep, using Tex’s sweater as a pillow to lean against the door, and when you woke up you were at a gas station. Alone in the car, radio off and the daylight baking onto you. When you looked up, neck stiff and eyes tired, Tex was walking out of the building. He moved to pump the gas, only noticing you were awake when he paused to wait for it to fill. He tapped on the window and you rolled it down. Tex crossed his arms over the ledge, leaning into the car as he looked at you.

“Sleep well?”

“No.”

“I found us a place to stay.” Your eyebrows perked at this, hopes high as his lips twitched up into a smile. You almost forgot about the shocking information you’d gotten before your nap when seeing the beautiful sight on his face. “Nothin’ special. There’s a half decent hotel down the street. If we lay low there for a couple days I think I can take you back home with no questions.”

The downwards twitch of your eyebrows at the word home didn’t go unnoticed by Tex. You nodded slowly. “Okay.”

“What?”

“Nothing.” You opted for a different answer when you saw his expression. “Sorry, I’m just tired. That’s all.”

He knew you were lying. “Okay.”

Tex finished pumping the gas before hopping back in the car, and when you got to the hotel he instructed you to meet him around the back of the building, just in case. Then you settled into your room, much nicer than the shitty motel you’d spent last night in, with better cable as well. You adjusted quite comfortably, and Tex laughed as he came back into the room to the sight of you in a robe, hair thrown up in a towel, lounging on the bed watching tv.

“Really took the whole ‘make yourself at home' thing to heart, huh?”

“Shut up,” you teased. But you were a little embarrassed, you didn’t expect him to be back so soon. So you got up and took your clothes into the bathroom, coming back out once you were changed. Your hair was still wet but you wanted to let it air dry. Tex sat in the desk chair, eating from a bag of chips as he sat back with his legs spread. You tore your eyes away from his lap, looking up at his eyes. “What’d you get me?”

He tossed you a bag of chips. “You seem like a salt and vinegar type of girl,” he stated, and you rolled your eyes as you opened the bag. You were.

You crawled back onto the bed. It occurred to you that Tex got another single room, with one bed, but you weren’t about to ask him about it. For all he knew, you didn’t even notice, and what he didn’t need to know was that you enjoyed it. Tex got up to join you on the bed, sitting beside you. Your legs touched. He leaned back against the headboard, arms behind his head as he extended his legs the same as you, crossing them at the ankles. You shifted a bit uncomfortably beside him, not because you were upset about him sitting beside you, but because you were nervous. He smelled good, really good, and you had to repeat over and over in your head, do not look over, because the outline in the crotch of his sweatpants was just far too attractive to your gaze. Your eyes had a mind of their own, as you stole a quick glance, and your bottom lip was held between your teeth for the next ten minutes you sat in silence.

“Doesn’t feel real,” Tex said after a while, and you hummed in response, eyes not daring to peel off the tv. “Charlie.”

“Oh.”

“Seems a little too perfect,” he mumbled, moving to bring a hand to rub over his jaw. His arm brushed against yours. “I don’t like it.”

“You’re thinking too much,” you said, not really paying attention as you were fixated on the screen in front of you. But Tex shrugged, buying into the conversation as he crossed his arms over his chest now.

“You gotta think too much when it comes to Charlie.”

“I think you’re crazy.”

“I am,” he said, and finally, you looked over. “That’s why I know something’s off. Because Charlie’s crazy, too.”

You would be a little worried if he didn’t look so good sitting next to you. And Tex would be a lot more cautious about the situation if you didn’t look so good sitting next to him, either. But alas, there you were.

“Stop thinking, Tex,” you said softly, eyes pouring into his as you glanced between both of them. “Just stop worrying about things for, like, five minutes.”

Tex didn’t say anything to that, he just looked back at you. Then he nodded, after about a minute of silence, and mumbled, “Okay.” Then he moved his hand to the back of your neck, pulling you in, and before you could think your lips were on his. You didn’t realize you’d been waiting so long for this until it was happening, and when it was happening you really didn’t want it to stop. And thankfully, neither did Tex.

Your lips moved perfectly in sync, your tongues meeting the same as well as the kiss was easy and effortless. Your hands came to the sides of his face while he moved one to your waist, pulling you closer, and you got the hint. You moved to straddle him, sitting in his lap with your legs on either side of his as you kissed. It was feverish, you could tell he wanted it as much as you did, if not more. He had both hands on your waist now, moving to feel over your ass as you rolled your hips over his. He moaned into your mouth, and that was when you felt the tent growing in his sweats. If you thought he was big before–

“I don’t want you to do this if–” Tex pulled away quickly, his eyes expressing immense concern as you stared down at him with a confused look. “You… you shouldn’t… I’m putting you in a terrible position and I need you to trust me before anything else and I know you–”

“Tex,” you said, holding his face as he looked up at you. “Shut up.”

“I’m just–”

“I trust you and I want you to keep kissing me, so keep kissing me.” He nodded, and you did it before he could take the lead. The kiss was hungrier this time, passion and emotion fuelled both of you as he carded a hand through your hair and you slid your tongue past his lips. Your hands were on his chest, working their way downwards before finding home in his lap, and you began palming him through the fabric of his sweats. The moan he let into your mouth had you growing wet, and it was then that you made the decision to pull back the waistband of his sweats, and his erection sprung against his stomach. You leaned down and licked the underside of his cock, Tex’s hand coming to the back of your neck warily before he pulled you back.

“Y/N,” he said, breathing heavily as you looked up at him through your eyelashes. “You don’t need to–”

“Shut up for, like, five minutes,” you said, and Tex chuckled slightly before you went back to your previous attempts. You took him into your mouth without hesitance, your hand taking what you couldn’t fit. His head rolled back at the warm feeling, your cheeks hollowed as you bobbed your head up and down, tongue swirling over the head. His hand moved to pull your hair back, tightening his grip when you sucked on the tip, a moan falling past his lips at the feeling.

“Holy fuck,” he cursed, tugging at the roots on your hair firm. You couldn’t tell if it was the pain that came from that or his cock hitting the back of your throat that had tears springing to your eyes. “So fucking good.” Your hand’s motions met your mouth’s as you took as much of him as you could, eliciting the dirtiest sounds. Tex pulled at your hair, moving your head back as you flattened your tongue against the underside of his cock, your eyes peering up at him per his request. “Oh my fucking god.” His eyes were dark as he watched you, your tongue teasing him while his eyes rolled back.

You wrapped your lips around him, sliding his length down your throat and back up again as he moaned. With your hand pumping him up and down, your tongue helping you suck him off, he was growing closer and closer, and the hand tightening in your hair, pushing you further down, only showed that. He was guiding you now, your eyes stinging as you choked for air before coming back up, only to do it again. Your hand worked quickly, your mouth sucking on the tip, and before you knew it he was shooting into the back of your throat within seconds, your name falling past his lips a hundred times. You pulled off of him, swallowing as you looked up at him. He tugged even harder at your hair, groaning. “Where have you been all my life?”

You smiled, but Tex didn’t give you too much time to think before flipping you over, pulling your shorts down and hooking his fingers into the waistband of your panties. He slid them down your legs, quickly replacing them with his fingers as he pushed them through your folds, not missing the hitch of your breath at the feeling.

“Good girl,” he mumbled, circling your clit slowly as he watched your mouth fall agape, thighs trembling all because of his fingers. You whined as he entered a finger, and then two, and by the time he had found a steady pace, curling his fingers inside you to hit your g-spot, you were a mess – moans spilling past your lips, your arousal leaking down your thighs. “That feel good, baby?” He was teasing you now, he knew more than well that it felt good, telling by the incessant moans leaving your parted lips, your hand in his hair. That same hand was pushing him down, wanting something, and luckily Tex knew just what it was.

“Needy girl,” he whispered, pressing a kiss to your inner thigh as he pulled his fingers out of you, messy and dripping down your thighs. You whined as your fingers tugged at his hair, pulling him closer, and finally he gave you what you wanted as his lips were on you in an instant. If you thought his fingers were good you were spiralling now, your head in the clouds as Tex’s was between your thighs, tongue lapping at your wetness, collecting all of your arousal before pushing it back into you. His tongue fucked into you expertly, fingers pressing bruises into your thighs as he held you tightly to stop you from wiggling around so much. He moved to focus on your clit, his fingers thrusting into you as he wrapped his lips around your bundle of nerves, making you cry out when he curled his fingers.

“I–” You were incoherent, back arching and head back as he worked away at you. Your hand dug into his hair, pulling at the roots for dear life as your thighs had no choice but to fall open, all control lost as you neared the edge. He knew you were close, with the way you were clenching around his fingers. His tongue worked to stimulate your clit even faster, a dangerous speed really, as he retracted his fingers and instead squeezed both of your thighs closer, his fingers spreading you open further for him.

“Want you to cum on my tongue, princess,” he mumbled, eyes casting up at you as his words vibrated off you. The moans leaving your lips only increased, the coil in your stomach growing impossibly tighter, and your eyes rolled to the back of your head as you felt his tongue flick over you quickly. The pressure building up finally came to a peak, your orgasm washing over you wonderfully as you let go of his hair, chest rising and falling rapidly. His lips left kisses all over the inside of your thighs and up your stomach.

“Oh my god,” you breathed out, feeling him rest between your legs before you lifted your head to look at him. He smirked at you, placing a kiss on your shoulder while he looked at you. You brought a hand to his jaw, squeezing lightly as you hummed. “You’re absolutely insane.”

“In general or at that?”

“Maybe both,” you said breathily, leaning your head back again, and Tex chuckled as he pressed another kiss to your shoulder. He rolled over to sit back, pulling you into his lap as you brought the sheets up. The two of you sat together, your head on his stomach as Tex ran a hand through your hair.

After a couple minutes of silence, you tilted your head back to look up at the boy, who hadn’t spoken a word. “You still doing all that thinking?”

“Yeah,” he said, eyes focused elsewhere. You hummed.

“Stop it.”

“I can’t,” he mumbled, and you noticed his jaw clench slightly. Not a lot, but a little – enough to tell you that whatever was going on in his brain was a little more than thinking. “Just doesn’t feel right.”

“Me?”

“No.” He looked down at you finally. “Course not you.”

“Then what?”

He glanced back up. “This whole thing. Being free, for the first time in forever. It doesn’t sit right with me.” And it didn’t. There was something itching at Tex’s brain, at his heart, telling him he was missing something. That the pieces didn’t line up – that a piece was missing.

“I think you need to stop thinking.”

He wanted to tell you to stop bugging him about this, because if you knew half of what he did you would be worried too. But he knew it wasn’t your fault, you had no idea. So giving you the benefit of the doubt, he offered you a smile. 

“Okay.” 

The gut-wrenching feeling went ignored as he stared down at you, sitting pretty in his lap. Everything he wanted. What could go wrong if he stopped thinking for a little while?

Announcing the Small Universe Stony Bingo Mini-Challenge

It’s soon to be Small Universes Month, the final but not least month of the Cap-IM Universe Medley Fest, here at @cap-ironman​.

In honor of that month, here’s a challenge for those wanting to try out new universes for SteveTony.

What's the Small Universe Bingo?

The Small Universe Bingo (or SUB for short ;D) is a challenge put together by Agron (jetblackfeeling), Holly (hollyandvice), and Lena (welcomingdisaster) in conjunction with the Cap-IM community. It is intended to focus attention on some of the less popular small universes our favorite heroes appear in. It's a team event where you work together to get bingo (or blackout!) on a specially-generated bingo card filled with different small universes. It's a great way to learn more about our two favorite superheroes in universes where we as a fandom may not usually focus. The only question is, are you up for the challenge?

Schedule and Guidelines under the cut!

Schedule

Team Formation and Sign-up period: Now - Feb 13 10:00 AM EST

Cards sent out: Feb 15

Late Sign-ups Period: Feb 13 - Feb 20 10:00 AM EST

Late Sign-up cards sent out: within 72 hours of sign-up

Fill Creation period: Feb 15 - March 13

Fills due: March 13 10:00 AM EDT

Masterpost published: March 15

Mini-Challenge Guidelines

Steve and Tony's relationship—whether it is romantic, platonic, pre-slash or otherwise—should be the main focus of your work and the “endgame” relationship, if applicable. Fanworks need to be set in the universe given on the bingo square being filled and/or feature at least one of Steve or Tony from that universe. If you are including only one, please make sure that the fanwork focuses on Steve and Tony's relationship.

Fanworks must be previously unpublished and created specifically for this challenge. Works must be standalone and complete, as well as meet the minimum requirements listed below:

Fanfic: 300 words

Fanart: sketch on an unlined surface

Fanvids: 10 seconds

Podfics: 300 words or 3 minutes long

Gifsets: 2 gifs

Meta: 300 words

Playlists: 5 songs and cover art

Please abide by the General Cap-IM Event Guidelines.

How does it work?

Create a team!

Teams can have between one (1) and five (5) members. You must have a team name for the organizers to put on the card. It need not be catchy… though we love us some catchy team names!

Sign up!

Fill out the Google Form to sign your team up. You will need to include one team member's email for the organizer team to send the card to.

Receive a card!

The organizer team will generate a card for you and your team to fill out and send it to the email submitted on the form.

Plan your bingo!

The objective is for your team to collaborate to get a bingo using your card. Accepted bingos include: horizontal line, vertical line, diagonal line, or a "4 corners" bingo (i.e. the four corners and the "free" square in the middle).

Complete fanworks for your given universes!

You can mark off squares by creating a fanwork for the universe in that square. Work as a team to get a bingo, multiple bingos, or even a blackout!

Submit your bingos/blackouts!

First, post the fanwork to the Ao3 collection. Then use the Google Form to submit the links to the works you've completed to achieve your bingo! You can also submit additional fills that didn't make it to a bingo using this Google Form.

FAQ

What kinds of fanworks are eligible?

Because this is a semi-competitive event, we want to make sure all submitted fanworks have a more-or-less comparable degree of difficulty. Therefore, we are limiting worktypes to include: fanfic, fanart, fanvids, podfics, gifsets, meta, and playlists.

What universes are included?

Here is a list of the universes the organizers have collected for the mini-challenge.

What if we REALLY don't like some of the universes on the list?

Teams are allowed up to three (3) vetoes. Those universes will be removed from the list before the team's card is generated. However, if the team elects to veto universes, that team may NOT choose a universe (see below).

What if there's a universe on the list that we REALLY want to create for?

Teams are allowed to pre-select one (1) universe that they really want to create for and have that placed on the card in the spot of their choosing. The remainder of the card will be filled in around that position. However, if the team elects to pre-select a specific universe, that team may NOT choose to veto universes (see above).

What if there's a small universe we want to create for that isn't on the list?

We tried to catch lots of universes with our list. However, it is inevitable that we'll miss some. If there's a universe your team really wants to create for that's not on our list, you can add it using the universe pre-selection option above. If you go this route, please try to include a universe number so that the organizers can include it on the card.

What if I want to do a crossover of two (or more) of the universes in a single work?

That would be super cool! Just note that if you want to get credit for multiple universes in a single work, the requirements will scale according to the number of universes. For example, a crossover with two universes would need to be a fic of 600 words, a fanvid of 20 seconds, a playlist of 10 songs, etc. Three universes would be a fic of 900 words, a fanvid of 30 seconds, and so on. Want to write 7500 words of crossover or design a piece of artwork featuring the Steves and Tonys from all your universes? Go for it! There's a special award waiting for you if you do! ;D

What if we get a universe that doesn't have a Steve or Tony?

Some universe options on the cards only feature one of the boys. In that case, you can feel free to write in the other in any way you desire! The Noir stevetony fandom provides many good examples — only Tony exists in universe, but fanworks have imagined Steve in many different roles, including fellow explorer, soldier, and artist. If you can’t think of any ideas, consider brainstorming on discord, and remember that multiverses crossovers (and multiverse shipping!) are welcome.

What if I want to be part of a team but I don't have anyone to form a team with?

Our first recommendation is to join the Cap-IM Challenges Discord server. We are hopeful that there will be other people searching out a team there! If Discord servers aren't your jam, you can contact Holly by email ([email protected]) and they will be happy to try to connect you with a team!

What if I have other questions that aren't answered here?

Feel free to contact Holly by email ([email protected]) and they will be happy to help you!

QoTS 5x02 Reaction Post

My brain has basically been Jeresa airhorns since the episode aired lmao but I’m going to try to add some Thoughts to my liveblog from last night.  Here goes:

First of all thank you to @gild-and-fire​ for making this tag meme for me that is ALREADY coming in handy.

Iiiiiiiinteresting that the moment James’ name is cleared the Ice Queenpin of last week thawed quite a bit, right?  Sure the trademark cool under pressure business dealings were there for Teresa (including a bit of ruthlessness) but in very calculated, ultimately successful way rather than terrifying.

James is back like what? 48 hours and already throwing up speed bumps for the descent of Teresa’s soul.  It’s gonna be a tough job, but if anyone can do it....

How to say I love you without saying I love you: Some guys bring you flowers, some bring you a personal army.

This episode was a Jeresa Callback All U Can Eat Buffet

There were SO many from the greatest hits: Take Care of Yourself, You too / “Smart” / You Deserve That / I Want You to Stay etc.  to even visual cues from past Jeresa scenes - the talk outside about going to NYC / 2x04, the lunge into the kiss from 3x09.  And of course the cigarette scene that @medievalraven​ goes over in her great meta.  It was an episode tailor made for parallel gifsets. 

I’m kinda shocked they didn’t add a driving together scene for old times sake.  Still holding out hope for a S5 Jeresa adventure episode too.

These two, as ever, are so so soft and so so stupid lmao.  But even with the interruptions of their private scenes, they packed SO much in. And I loved how you could both tell they’d learned from their past miscommunications.

They were a little rusty at first - doing that thing they do approaching it from an angle instead of head on - T: “You didn’t have to come back.”  J: “Yeah I did.”   T: “Are you staying?” J: “Do you want me to stay?” But right out of the gate James is like this is what I feel, I need you to verbalize what you want from me. Which by end of the episode Teresa does.

But then he says “these Russians are animals” and you can practically SEE Teresa visualizing his death in her head so she’s like "you should go”.

LOL at James playing the emotional game of chicken with THE master of the game Teresa Mendoza.  Him being like “Okay I’ll pack...this is me walking to the bed slowly...packing...to leave...this is me leaving....and I’m going to wander around the house...slowly... in case anyone needs anything...just in case...do a shot with Pote...get to know Chicho...oh hey, I’m already packed let’s go to NYC” lol.

“I’m a quick healer” If only, my friend.

The laugh!!! the smiles!! the heart eyes!! the “people who you love” meaningful eye contact!!

The KISS - THE LUNGE - THE WAY JAMES CUPS HER HEAD WITH HIS HAND AND THEY TILT THEIR FOREHEADS TOGETHER - THE WAY JAMES TOUCHES HIS LIP AFTER LIKE WE’RE IN GODDAMNED PRIDE AND PREJUDICE!

The smoking scene.  Poor James was probably thinking of a victory celebration a la 3x09 like “will my stitches hold for that?? Lets find out” and then

Teresa comes out with a CLEAR “I want you to stay”!!!! growth.gif

Only to  drop the (albeit heart eyes included) hammer of “You and me can’t happen.”

I love how James didn’t technically agree.

Can’t wait to see if Teresa caves physically or emotionally first....

Just gonna leave these lines here: “I thought we could be like normal people” / “Get lost for awhile, get these hands clean” / “[change] is the only way to survive in this life” / “we can’t happen...maybe in some other life but not this one.”  Mmmhmmmmmm.  

Non Jeresa stuff:

I really like Oscar the Dominican so far.

Teresa’s “We can double our business or go to war. These are my terms.” CLASSIC Teresa smarts with Queenpin power...I loved it.

The judge: “You’ll be the next Mexican I set on fire”. He can’t just die now, his death better top Cortez’s death by chainsaw b/c this had me ready to drive to NOLA and do it myself.

I loved the expression on James face when Oksana said “[Kostya] wasn’t sure you’d save my life.” LOL like saving other ppl’s lives is kinda what Teresa does, if only I could get Teresa to save her own.

Is the Oksana stuff legit?? It felt really convenient that the “sleeper cell” was dead before Teresa could talk to them.  Were they really rogue or did Oksana just kill off everyone who knew otherwise?  We’ll see. Kostya agreed to her new terms for now.

I loved that of all the many conflicts introduced in the first ep (James, NYC Russians/Dominican rivalry, waterfront $$, the kill team, etc) so many had some sort of resolution or solid movement FORWARD in this episode.  That’s something I really missed from the earlier seasons: mini conflicts that had a 2-3 episode arc instead of *cough* dragging out all season (s4).

Speaking of which, Boaz’s sixth sense of when things are going too well for Teresa remains unparalleled lol.  But I can’t wait to see what JT does next. He’s killing it. Maybe literally...

And now.....the baby news.

At first I was too happy to get an extended James and Pote conversation to care but is anyone else kinda irked that it was POTE who shared the Tony story? I get it story wise w/ his own Tony redemption opportunity on the horizon with KA’s pregnancy they wanted to get that “this world is not for a child they make you weak and vulnerable” ominous foreshadowing in there but oof.  I wish it had been a Teresa/James convo first. 

A baby can be a catalyst for a lot of things (as if Teresa isn’t already feeling the pressure to get legit fast) but what I’m wondering is this:  If it comes down to protecting pregnant Kelly Anne or Teresa, in the heat of the moment, who will Pote choose? He violently reacted to the incarcerated teen boys and that was before he knew KA’s news.   

I’m glad James stayed.  Teresa needs someone who is focused on HER safety alone and as evidenced many times this episode, she definitely will need it.

CANNOT WAIT TO HAVE MARCEL BACK NEXT WEEK!

[aemondtargaryenn]

I always forget to do the games that I’m tagged in, so I’m really happy that I actually managed to finish this ahah

Anywayyy, I was tagged by the wonderful @benoitblanc & @stormbreaker (thank you arwen & roh !!) to do a content creator year in review!

first creation and most recent creation of 2020: 

I basically only started giffing properly this year and there’s been a lot of improvement in my ps techniques and general editing style (although I still look at creations from like three months again and go eww). My first creation was this shoddy green avengers: endgame set and my most recent is this luke/vader entrance comparison (on this blog)

one of your favourite creations from 2020: 

I think that’d either have to go to my anakin/obi-wan appreciation edit or this Natasha set simply because both of these were definitely learning curves for me, and unlike most of my gifs I like how they turned out!

a creation you’re really proud of:

 I went through a phase of making move gif sets focusing on a pairing of colours so I think I’d have to say this aotc set because I like the colours I used (and I made it at like 1am after writing an assignment that wrecked my brain)

a new style you tried this year and a gifset that uses it:

 hmm, probably the giffing with multiple gifs using shapes?? So this Steve edit maybe because that star took some gif dimension calculating that made me want to yeet my laptop out the window

a creation that took you forever:

 I don’t think I will ever emotionally recover from this set inspired by @anya-chalotra ‘s trend setting gif making techniques. The thought process behind this has aged me, but it also VASTLY improved my ps skills in a short amount of time so thank u for the inspiration Ava!

your creation from 2020 that received the most notes:

this yellow to green gradient spirited away set (I think it’s my most reblogged post too so yeah everyone seems to love studio ghibli.. including me)

a creation you think deserved more notes:

 hmm, I feel like once I make a set I just forgot about it after a while if it flops lmao, I don’t need that failure to stay in my thoughts asjkfdh if I had to choose a set I’d say this anakin skywalker edit mainly because anakin deserves at least 1k ahah

a creation with a favourite scene/quote:

this has to go to my i have nothing to prove to you rainbow women edit I don’t know where the idea came from, my brain must have peaked then.. it’s only downhill from here

 a new fandom you joined and a creation you made for it:

 I’d been a fan of star wars since I was little, but I’d never actually made creations for it. A lot of the ones that I made recently were for the Prequels Appreciation week hosted by @anakin-skywalker (because before all else I am a prequels hoe) so I’m just going to say an example of that is any of the posts I made for that (and I’m pretty sure I’ve tagged them all in this so oop)!

a creation you made that breaks your heart:

 maybe this anakin/padme/obi-wan set simply because although that quote was said originally by obi wan, it’s tragic to know that it fits them all perfectly.

a ‘simple’ creation that you really love:

 this pink/blue edit that I thought was ugly at the time and now I’m like I’ll probably never be able to make a set like that again because I have no patience asjkfd

a creation that was inspired by another one (add both your creation and the one that inspired it!):

 I’m forever inspired by the current techniques that gifmakers use so I’d have to say basically everything I make is at least inspired in some way by someone else aha?

a favourite creation created by someone else - I think if you ever see how much i word vomit in the tags daily, I am in awe at every single edit I see. The creativity and dedication that so many people have on here is inspiring, so here’s a select few that I particularly liked (I could literally go on forever so this was hard)

daenerys edit by @time-turner - i mean, how do i even begin? Each gif displays a different style of talent in gifmaking whether that be through the use of shapes, blending/overlaying gifs or different text effects and it’s just so so so beautiful

the times of day witcher set by @anya-chalotra - i don’t think i will never not be in awe of this edit. The thought process behind this is just incomprehemsible, I don’t even know where this idea came from but the execution is stunning. I especially love the isolation of colour in their eyes.

geralt of rivia yellow &b/w gifset by @rubyredwisp - the contrast between the selected colours is gorgeous, and the way the shapes are used to overlay the gifs is executed perfectly.

tony stark rainbow edit by @stardustony - vero always has stunning colourings on all of her edits, and this one certainly isn’t an exception. Just absolutely beautiful, there are no other words to describe this.

spider-man edit by @momentofmemory - the talent in this set is unreal. Excellent font choices and blending of the gifs, so so seamless & creative.

stranger things s3 rainbow set by @meliorn - as someone who loves colourful gifs as much as I do, a content creator appreciation list would not be complete without one of alice’s edits. The colouring is out of this world, and those shapes that are included in every other gif just bring the whole edit together so smoothly, and just add a whole other level of creativity.

star wars rainbow edit by @anakin-skywalker - talent, creativity, colour, dedication, this edit has it all. Absolutely stunning, the way each colour transitions so smoothly into the next one within this gradient is just wowwee. I could look at this all day.

some of your favorite content creators from the year

content creators have just totally transformed my whole fandom experience, and especially during this year I feel like tumblr has been such a safe place for me?? I admit I’m not the best at always getting back to everyone on time, but just getting to know a lot of you or seeing the creations everyone has beeing maing throughout this year has been such a positive thing in this mostly negative year. So thank you! 

@anakin-skywalker @timothyolyphant @time-turner @yenvengerberg@kamalaskhans @anya-chalotra @seance @stormbreaker @wandamaximoffs @ewan-mcgregor @meliorn @benoitblanc @rockyblue @withered-rose-with-thorns @bartonclinton @coulter @captainhandsomes @jackmans @bladesrunner @clintfbarton @daenerys-targaryen @soka-tano @kkastle @darthanckin @ourteeth

and for good measure, another a couple more creations of yours that you love:

this orange/blue catws set (just ignore how bad the quality is, my sharpening skills were not great then), this natasha edit & rainbow aiw edit

tagging everyone tagged above (feel free to ignore seeing as I posted this on the last day of the year asjfdhjk)

dude answering this question was r o u g h. after 3 weeks of thinking I finally finished it, so here are my top 5 faves in the form of a gifset!!

I tried to answer this based on tony's best performance but that was more difficult. soooo I just chose movies I simply enjoyed. couple of these are a lil camp, a bit cringe... but that's my type of movies 😌

#hope u like it luth ily♡ #hoping no one murders me in the tags again #for not putting remains on that list... #thank u for sending! ♡ #requests

Also, today marks the end of my studies, like forever, and i want to celebrate this too even if it's just a personal thing ahahah. And well... 600 followers, i love you all.

Hey! ✨ my edit tag is /tagged/ishaedits i absolutely LOVE all your sets!! 💜

HI, BUB! first of all, thank you for the kind words. i also absolutely adore your creations, i’m very excited to check all the ones i haven’t seen before

the umbrella academy: one day maybe i’ll stop screaming abt vibrant gifsets, but that day won’t be today. this is so beautiful! it’s so hard to mess with the colors and still maintain the quality of the gifs (especially in a size this big!). i’m particularly in love with the klaus one and the green one.

peter / thoughts of a stray: break my heart in half, why don’t ya? i love LOVE the concept. this poem fits peter so well, it’s perfect for all the struggles his poor little teenage heart goes through. i also really like what u did with the black/white contrast! so interesting. i’m half-tempted to try something similar.

tony stark / human: the scenes you chose 😩 especially the “trying to smile” one, i actually gasped. this is heartbreaking and beautiful & i like that it’s somewhat “dark” and it fits the whole mood of the lyrics. so well done.

thank u, next: even though the stony shipper in me is rioting, this is fucking brilliant. at first i laughed (hammer lol) and then i sighed (did u HAVE to use that scene for ‘i’ve lost’?) and then i was soft.

mechanic: AMAZING! showstopping! awesome concept! beautiful execution! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

special mention: wall (?). listen, i don’t go here but i’m completely mesmerized by this. it’s so beautiful and I DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT’S GOING ON. i’ll have to look this up.

you have so many creative sets, it was hard to narrow it down. the concepts 🤯 the scene choices 🤯 so so so good! thank you for indulging me by sending the ask. i had a great time 💛

creators: send me ✨ + the link to your creations and I’ll answer with my top five favorite edits of yours!

Steve Rogers is a walking contradiction: the anti military soldier

After reading this meta on a gifset about Steve and Tony i got carried away and wrote essentially an essay about the analysis that had been made. and while i agree with the general sentiment of the post, some things didn’t sit right with me. btw i decided to make this my own separate post because this isn’t intended to start an argument or derail the original post, i know it can be annoying for gif makers to have dozens of comments added onto their posts.

(the meta in question)

ok so full disclaimer I’m not American and I’m not white. i just felt like this analysis was really interesting and when I read it I couldn’t stop all these thoughts that formed in my head, next thing I know I had written all of this in like 30 minutes. I’m not trying to argue or start shit, this is my own personal analysis of Steve’s character and why I don’t agree with some things said above.

First of all, let’s get this out of the way: Steve does not trust the US government. at least not blindly. the fact that he’s still the little shit that had a real problem w authority figures is something they touch upon on catfa a lot. he changed on the outside but on the inside he’s still that idiot punk kid and like, I get what the tags above me are saying but also Steve’s arc is more than that? and let’s not forget this stupid movie was written and directed by thanos Joss “I’m the true feminist ally” whedon so I would take this exchange with a grain of salt. I mean this is the movie that gave us “gOllY tHeRe’S OnLy oNe gOd m'Am” and “sOn oF a GuN” Stephen Rogers which is the most ooc thing I’ve seen since endgame’s Steve. Steve is a fucking potty mouth ffs he’s Irish and a soldier, so that doesn’t even make sense. but anyway, my point is something else, nvm this movie’s portrayal of Steve in general.

I guess we could probably argue all day long abt which Steve portrayal is the most accurate one since his character in the MCU is the one that’s suffered the most at the hands of inconsistent characterization, but I prefer thinking he already WAS someone that was well aware of the horrors of war and how unfair it was to recruit people w lies and the promises of education opportunities and loans for the poor to join the army, because he LIVED that he grew up dirt poor and had to see his mom take on three different jobs to support herself and him, so he’d consider this attempt to bring civilians into the military life by preying on their needs disgusting, he’d be fucking seething with anger. and if he had lived through the 60s (which I think it’s better for everyone involved that he didn’t, can u imagine poor guy would’ve died from the disappointment in what his country had become) I highly doubt he would’ve been the bitter WWII vet that defended Vietnam and shit on the protestors……. Steve would support the citizens’ rights to ask for accountability and demand justice!! even the hippie movement I think he would’ve been ok with when he saw that they were advocating FOR PEACE. that’s why he enlisted on the war after all, to bring the fight to an end and to have Bucky come HOME. I think Steve rogers would be all for peace. I mean, civil disobedience and telling the government to shove it? that’s Steve Rogers’ goddamn ethos. he would be all over that shit.

I agree w op’s tags where they say Steve doesn’t represent America, he represents what America wishes it had been. and I think Steve himself would be well aware he’s the anomaly here, the one that should have been America’s highest ideal. and I think that makes Steve very wary of his own image, anything he endorses becomes what America endorses. Steve rogers isn’t important, Captain America is. but I think Steve’s response here has more to do with his coping mechanisms to deal with loss, rather than coming from a place of “oh we’re soldiers, it’s what we do, we die for our country.” while Tony’s response comes from a place of anger (we are NOT soldiers!!! fuck u old man, i never asked for this!!! coulson didn’t ask for this!!!!!) Steve’s reaction comes from the intrinsic nihilism and dadaism product of his own time. it’s not that he’s minimizing Coulson’s death, it’s more that he’s so used to losing people, the thousands he met that died in European soil, the sick and ill from his ma’s work that died everyday, his own father whom he never even met, that his mechanism is to just. shut down. shrug it off a bit, even. people die. every day. “for believing” means for standing for something, because Steve is WELL aware that people that stand for nothing will fall for anything, and standing for something gives counterbalance to the official agenda. in his eyes, Coulson died not because he’s a soldier and winning the war means being prepared to make a few sacrifices. Coulson died because he chose to believe in something that the majority didn’t care about or even actively sought to destroy (the wsc over fury’s shoulder) and he died because he would not back down from the fight. I can do this all day is something Steve feeds off of because he knows that when you stop getting up from the ground, anyone and anything can strike you down.

but on another note, I get that Avengers happens literally 6 fucking days after he woke up from the ice, he probably had no time to catch up on all the atrocities the US had done on his behalf, or rather on what they said he represented, on the ideal he died defending and the US took and twisted and tore apart until it was no longer recognizable. Steve being a week out of the ice is super sad and to me, the biggest crime this movie did was literally brushing off Steve’s trauma, being riddled with PTSD and shocked from waking up seventy years in the future was not even addressed. at all. this could’ve been easily avoided by setting the movie at least a couple of months AFTER he wakes up. but whatever. After learning of all the shit the US has done, I think Steve rogers would be the first to walk out of there and be like “fuck it, I died for this country and you took it and fucked it up and now young people and people who’ve been killed for protesting your shitty ass decisions genuinely believe I would side with the government. they think I’M the stubborn baby boomer who kisses government boots and would approve of the Gulf War or the Vietnam War or the Central American coups or the war on terror or any of the stupid shit you’ve pulled in the 70 years I was gone!!! YOU MADE ME A SYMBOL FOR YOUR BIGOTRY WHAT THE FUCK”. so he obviously needs time to catch up on all of that before realizing how bad they fucked up his memory and how corrupt the system has become. but Steve’s depiction as a boy scout who believes the US can do nothing bad is inherently wrong and something only this one movie tries to do. no other movie featuring Cap tries to drive the point home that Cap is a goodie two shoes who still believes in american exceptionalism.

CATWS was the gold standard because it truly touched upon the cognitive dissonance Steve experiences coming out of a 70 year nap. the loss he experiences not only for being “the man out of time”, but the true man behind the symbol. heavy are the shoulders that carry the world indeed. and he’s been carrying the entire world on his since he decided to become Captain America. I truly believe the tragedy of Steve Rogers comes from the lack of agency he has over the Captain image, one that has been used to prop up political agendas over and over again. of course, he’s the one that decides to be Captain America as much as he is Steve rogers, blurring the lines between the two men. he could’ve retired, he could’ve adopted a new mantle or even go the old reliable route and try to keep a civilian life away from the superhero gig. but he didn’t. even in the comics whenever he tried to do that it didn’t stick for more than a few issues. so, you know in CATWS he truly experiments what it’s like to pull back the curtain and see the wizard behind it, he faces this disenchantment with the institutions that created him, both SHIELD and the US government. this helps pinpoint the moment he grows super distrustful of politics and agendas, because up until this point he’d only been in the battlefield, and he realizes governments cannot be trusted to make the right decision or even act in benefit of their people.

this way, Civil War does make sense when you see how Steve has grown so disappointed with modern politics that he sees the Sokovia accords as one big red flag, and the first step in a direction that only points toward authoritarianism and civil control. this movie deals with many things poorly of course, but one thing that doesn’t feel ooc is Steve telling the UN to fuck off. He wasn’t around to see the formation of the united nations remember? he literally has no background on what collective security and globalized autonomy are. there’s many things that could’ve been different in CW, but Steve was on the “right” side of the conflict for his character. (i’m NOT saying there’s a wrong and a right side on the Civil war dilemma. that whole thing was badly written so let’s just say it made sense in a hypothetical way). supporting the government in any capacity isn’t a part of Steve’s “thing”, but even when/if he sided with the US govt, he’d never endorse a political agenda that he perceives as “wrong”, knowing it’s hypocritical to do so. 

he doesn’t think the end justify the means, which is highly different from Tony’s pragmatism. if Steve and Tony represented opposing philosophical movements, Tony would be utilitarianism and Steve would be deontology. this brings the analysis full circle by pointing out that yes, Tony and Steve operate differently in theory, but in practice they both work for the same objective. Tony is the cynic product of his own doing, he understands how war can destroy and he knows the US has a bad track record of owning up to its own shit. and because of that, he believes that the most good he can do is in his own hands (and because of his extremist way of thinking, he also equates that with being the only one who can do it and therefore, he must, no matter the personal cost). On the other hand, Steve is the idealist product of other’s people efforts, he understands how sometimes war can be the only way to save what is worth saving, but also how it can corrupt even the noblest of men. and because of that, he believes that the most good he can do must be done because other people believe in him, and because by setting the example, others can follow and make the world a better place. (and because of his very stubborn nature, he also equates that with being the ‘tree that must plant itself in the ground and say no, you move’.)

so what I guess I’m trying to say, is that to me at least, saying that Steve Rogers would be in favor of US militarism or that he equates the word “soldier” with hero is a huge disservice to his character. the fact that he’s a fictional character that was first conceived as WWII propaganda is not relevant, because I choose to believe the idea that says fiction stops being the creator’s own the moment it’s out in the world. And Steve Rogers NOW is a different character and serves a different purpose than what he was originally intended to. His entire origin is based on being a soldier, yes, but what makes his character so compelling is the juxtaposition between being a soldier and being essentially opposed to what the US military complex entails. he embodies a lot of american values ofc, like freedom and right of free speech and so, but my take is that he defends this values in a way that is distinctly non American. setting aside discussions of propaganda and the integrity of an art form, i think he’s been written in a way that evokes patriotism without being exclusively american. i mean heck, Steve rogers makes me proud to be from my own country, and inspires me to be better while never reminding me of the fact that he’s from an imperialist super power. Star spangled suit aside, he’s probably a fair enough representation of what one's love for their own country can bring to the surface, no matter which country specifically. i could delve more into that, but this is already getting too long and, since i already mentioned, I’m not from the US and my cultural upbringing is far different from the US. so i’m not sure i could make such a poignant analysis about the military culture and the way it impacts characters such as Steve.
