Shipping Shasam

This post that nobody asked for is a long time coming and it is mainly here because of @thorst and @chimerrobang who ruined my plans and asked for it (💞). So, let's go ahead and talk about how much I adore Sam Wilson and Sharon Carter as a ship (Shasam, because every ship needs a cool ship name and I'm trying to make this one happen) and why I think they would be perfect for each other.

Origins

Sharon Carter and Sam Wilson joined the MCU in the same excellent movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. CA:TWS is undoubtedly a gamechanger within the MCU, contributing to the overall story in a big way with the fall of SHIELD and still acclaimed as one of the franchise's best movies. It is also one of my personal favorites and though it was not when I started shipping Sam and Sharon, I do think it a nice parallel that were both introduced here as side characters in relation to Steve Rogers. Sam has a better introduction than Sharon, I would argue, but this film was enough to interest someone (me) in them despite not having any familiarity with either character prior to that.

Although they have limited screen time in CA:TWS, we are nonetheless able to catch glimpses into Sam and Sharon's respective personalities. Both of them are extremely loyal, for starters: Sam is ready and willing to assist fugitive Steve and Natasha and Sharon likewise proves her loyalty to Steve when she takes on Rumlow. Their action sequences make it clear that they are very physical fighters, which is by necessity due to the work they do. We also find out that both of them have no issue questioning authority when needed, a topic that comes up again when we see them in Captain America: Civil War.

She Didn't Write It

Sam and Sharon's shared qualities are further emphasized in CA:CW, where they end up working together to help Steve. After Steve sees Sharon at Peggy's funeral, she reminds him that she was doing her job when she was spying on him and seems proud of her new role within the CIA. At this stage in her life, I think it is safe to say work is one of Sharon's highest priorities, and her choice to move to the CIA after SHIELD's dissolution suggests that she feels what she does is important enough to do no matter what form it takes. As for Sam, he also comes across as someone who values his work above most things. He worked as a pararescue whose role was literally to save lives, and he disagrees with the Sokovia accords because he doesn't trust the government to keep tabs on who the Avengers should and shouldn't save.

It is CA:CW that seals the deal in my personal opinion that Sam and Sharon are both workaholics who have never paid much attention to their personal lives. While I don't doubt that there are probably racist reasons for Sam to have never been given a love interest in the MCU, in-universe the only explanation that makes sense to me (I mean, look at him) is that he hasn't had time to worry about that in between working with the Air Force, working for the VA and then becoming an Avenger. He alludes to this in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, when he talks about missing his nephews growing up - I, at least, got the impression that it wasn't just because he was blipped. I don't think it's a stretch to assume that Sharon is similar, although admittedly we don't see her much outside of professional situations.

All of the qualities I've mentioned so far are ones that I could see as being points of connection for Sam and Sharon. I like relationships that are founded in common ground, and I see plenty of it to work with here. I don't think Sam or Sharon would be happy with someone who didn't understand the importance of their work to them, and being with each other would allow them to be fully open about that aspect of their lives. Likewise, they share a strong moral compass, which could permit them to understand and empathize with each other's decisions. Crucially, though, I also think together they could also have that personal life that they've been brushing to one side for so long. Having those shared values could allow them to make space for each other, and for something more than what they do.

One of my favorite scenes in CA:CW now is a two-line exchange, where Sam objects to the term 'bird costume' and Sharon counters with: "I didn't write it." It's a very small moment, and I'm not saying for a minute that the writers did this intentionally, but looking at it from a character perspective, Sharon absolutely did not have to defend herself in that moment. She is interested in Steve as far as we know and she barely knows Sam, but she still makes a point of making sure that he knows she didn't write it. She doesn't say much, but she could be saying a lot, like that she respects what Sam does and wouldn't dismiss him in that way. If anything, the fact that she is later the one to steal his wings back together with the shield, only underlines that idea.

All the Sh*t Sharon Had to Go Through

I first started thinking about Sharon and Sam as a ship around the time it was announced that Sharon was going to be in TFATWS. Even though the show panned out differently than I had imagined with respect to Sharon, I think it is full of breadcrumbs that could lead to a relationship in the new Captain America movie. The Sharon we see in TFATWS is hardened, disillusioned and, in my view, playing the role of her life. In order to survive, she's had to seal every crack of vulnerability, like the one that made her kiss Steve in CA:CW. She is cavalier when she asks about Captain America in Madripoor, but she does still ask, and then uses it as an opportunity to show how little she supposedly cares. The actions she takes in the show don't make sense just on the basis of her being the Power Broker, and I think this is partially bad writing, but if we take it at face value we could see it as her wavering in her commitment to her newfound attitude. She helps Sam in situations where she could have gotten rid of him and Bucky or ignored them, even to her own detriment. At the end of the show, she even saves Sam's life. Sam, meanwhile, seems to be the only person who really cares about what has happened to Sharon. He reminds Bucky that she was branded enemy of the state, he apologizes to her more than once for the situation she ended up in, and he brings her up again much later when he is laying out on the table all the trouble the shield has caused. He promises her a pardon and asks her to come back to the United States, all because it seems to matter to him whether or not she is OK.

There is also all the flirting, of course. Sharon's reaction to seeing Sam shirtless is to say "Much better." In that same scene, after making his agreement with Sharon, we see Sam grinning and watching her as she walks away. Sharon calls Sam "a friendly voice" and Sam smiles when he is messaging her. In the last episode, Sharon, who had spent so much time previously mocking the idea of Captain America, tells Sam the suit looks good on him. It would certainly be possible to look at this cynically, and perhaps suggest Sharon is putting on a performance to help secure the pardon she wants. The way I choose to look at it is that Sharon is being who she has always been, someone dedicated to service and who is extremely efficient at what she does. Those qualities are, incidentally, ones I think Sam would look for and value in a partner. They could also be indications that Sharon as she used to be is not entirely gone, and that Sam gives her the opportunity to allow that idealistic version of herself to come to surface.

The Future

Going forward, I think with all the groundwork that has been laid out, Sam and Sharon could flourish into a great love story in future Captain America movies and shows. We could see Sharon start to doubt the image she felt she had to build to survive, in parallel with her developing feelings for Sam that she never expected. For his part, I think even if there was some initial conflict, Sam would ultimately be understanding about what led Sharon to where she was and value her for who she is.

United, they could make an incredible team. Just as they complement each other in many ways, they could also bring out the best in each other. Sharon is someone who very much sees the world as it is and I think Sam does too, but he also sees the world as it could be. There's a beautiful push and pull there between a spy who deals with threats on the ground level and a former soldier who can literally fly. Sam also takes things less seriously than Sharon, and I think could help bring out a lighter side to her, as we got just a hint of in some of their banter in TFAWTS. Logistically, Sharon as Sam's love interest also makes a lot of sense given that she has been in his orbit for a long time already and they have a pre-established relationship. Developing that would be more interesting in my view than try to introduce somebody new.

Zooming out to a more meta perspective, I think there's some serendipity in the fact that both Sam and Sharon have at times been underrated/undervalued by the fandom at large. Sam has been repeatedly dismissed as Captain America even since having officially taken up the title, and Sharon has a long history of being reviled mainly (I guess) for having the audacity to kiss Steve Rogers. I am a Steve fan myself, but since he clearly isn't going to be a big part of the movies going forward, I am thinking about what the MCU looks like without him. I don't know what's going to happen in the future, obviously, but how great would it be to see two people that formerly were seen mostly in relation to Steve find love with each other and become an unstoppable power couple?

The beauty of Sam and Sharon is that they each can totally stand on their own, as independent characters, and they could also be incredible together. I, for one, would absolutely love to see them as our Captain America and Agent 13. ❤️🤍

I loooove that one swamp monster kakuzu au, just needed to tell you. Do you come up with stuff like that?

Good morning lovely Anon!

Among all my Naruto AUs, Hunting Grounds is my favourite so I get all giddy that you're asking about it (thank you so much for your message!!). You ever have a story that you're way too invested into, but don't really produce much content for it so what you got out there doesn't do it justice?

For the coming up with it question, I'm not sure if you're asking just for this concept specifically or for AUs in general? But in any case, for any AUs, break down the character’s story (not just their personality traits and concepts) into their main facets and make sure to keep those in whatever narrative/aesthetic you throw them into. I'm picky when it comes to alternate 'verses because more often than not, you could just replace the name of the characters with new ones and pass it off as original fiction.

Kakuzu without a betrayal from what or who he had put above himself and the paranoia/anger that tags along, without living on the fringe of society, without turning himself somehow more monster than man, without hunting something valuable and ignoring the small stuff isn't Kakuzu for me.

And you can play a bit on that, like for Kakuzu in this setting, the hearts that he steals and high-priced bounties that he hunts are rolled into one: he hunts down the people that are valuable--in an objective, "greater good" kinda way--like elders, medics, warriors, hunters, etc. They're the hearts of their society, the pillars, and their loss has a great impact on how the town functions.

Also I love Regional Gothic horror because it feels like home. I grew up in one of those small towns full of gossips and hiveminds and nothing is weird AT ALL stop asking, surrounded by forests and lakes and one year the river rose and took 4 people from the same spot on separate nights. I found a clearing once and it was full of moss-covered vertebraes on the ground, like if they’d been planted there as seeds to grow something angry that the forest needed. My own real experiences are often thrown into my art and stories :)

Now I really wanna draw that Kakuzu again, I'm thirsty for some swamp water huehehehehue

Ishtar's Descent into the Underworld

AIGHT I'm currently obsessed with mythology so here's some old tale. There are two tellings of it, so:

Sumerian version:

So, Ishtar. Also called Inanna, but for this I'll call her Ishtar. She's the Mesopotamian goddess of love, fertility, and war. She's also called the Queen of Heaven. There are two myths that describe her descent.

Kur, the underworld is ruled by Ishtar's sister, Ereshkigal. Ishtar pops down there for a visit, but before she leaves, she tells four other gods/goddesses to come find her if she does not return within three days.

She appears at the front gates of Kur and tells the gatekeeper why she wants to be let in: to attend her beloved sister's husband's funeral. She passes seven gates, and with each gate, she strips off a garment of clothing, taking some of her power away as well. (Strip dying. Play it with all the cool kids who strut into hell without thinking of the consequences!)

When she faces her sister, she is naked. Seven judges look upon her and turn her into a corpse. And hand her on a hook.

Polite.

Three days and three nights pass, all the while nothing "fertile" happening on earth, before three of the four gods mentioned earlier refuse to help to get her back. The fourth, Enki, however, decides to help. He makes two sexless beings, Gala-tura and Kur-jara, and sends them down to sprinkle the food and water of life upon her.

They head down there to find Ereshkigal is immense pain (it's not explained why) and she offers them anything, including the life-giving food and water, if they can relieve her of her pain. They refuse all offers and ask only for Ishtar's corpse, which they then pour the life water on and revive her. (Where'd they get the water if they refused the offer? Who knows; maybe they stole it)

They skedaddle, but as payment, Ereshkigal demands a soul in exchange for Ishtar. Ishtar's husband, Dumuzid, is taken when he's caught not mourning Ereshkigal's husband properly. However, Ishtar may have him for half the year, with his sister taking his place in the underworld, resulting in the seasons.

Akkadian version:

This one starts off with Ishtar threatening to bash her way into Kur. The guard informs Ereshkigal of her arrival, and is told to treat her according to ancient rites. Again, being stripped naked, she appears in front of her sister nude.

When she throws herself at her in a race, she's struck down, and has 60 diseases unleashed upon her.

After that, again, all fertile things stop happening. Ea, aka Enki, heard of this and creates an intersex being named Asushunamir. He tells them to march on down there and dump some life water on her.

When they get down there, Ereshkigal is forced to give them the life water. In some tellings, they charmed her to get the water or stole it. Either way, Ishtar is revived, and they skedaddle, her putting her clothes back on with every gate passed.

As revenge, Ereshkigal cursed Asushunamir to be outcast from society. Ishtar then blessed them and everyone like them with the power of prophecy and healing.

So uh

Mesopotamia said enby rights

#motivation to write isn't that much of an issue for me but searching for the right word and such slows me down

My Top Posts in 2022:

Please talk about SamSharon. Ever since I watched TFATWS I thought 'Oh. Those two would look good together' and I need to talk about this with someone.

This week has been a special kind of hell so thank you so much for sending me this, Anon! It always makes me happy to talk about SamSharon (I like to call them Shasam, I think it's cute) and I hope it will make you happy too to read this.

You're right, even if we're talking just on an aesthetic level they do look good together. Anthony Mackie and Emily VanCamp are two very good-looking people! Just seeing them together in my icon or in some of the artwork I've been gifted/commissioned of them is enough to bring me joy.

On a deeper level, I think there are so many reasons they would make an incredible couple. They have a lot in common, as I see it - they are both incredibly loyal workaholics who don't seem to have a lot of time for a personal life. I think it would be good for both of them to be with someone who understands that dedication to a greater cause, and at the same time I think they could help each other realize that their work is not the only thing that matters. With their own strong internal moral compasses, neither of them have had issues with defying authority when they felt it was needed (see: Captain America: Civil War) and more recently (see: TFATWS) they have found themselves questioning long-held beliefs. At the end of TFATWS they are both in very different places, but I could really see Sam helping Sharon regain some of the idealism that we see she has lost.

I could go on for much longer (and already did here) so I'll end with one more point for now. I am really drawn to the idea of rewriting one's own destiny, and I think that's one of the things that draws me towards Sam and Sharon. It is possible to see Sharon as a person who is "meant" to end up with Steve, just like she did in the comics, and I think honestly there was a part of Sharon at one point that thought she and Steve were destined to be together. I love the notion of both Sharon and Sam realizing that the right person for them has been in their vicinity for a while, but they just weren't able to see it yet. I think there's something really beautiful about that and that they could become an incredible power couple, fighting side by side and building a life together.

I commissioned @jessicapalumboart to draw Sam Wilson and Sharon Carter on their wedding day, as envisioned in the universe of mine and my friends' Marvel RP (Earth-202) 🥰 She did such an incredible job and I'm so delighted! Jess is truly fantastic and if you are interested in commissioning her, she is most active as jesspalumboart on Twitter and Instagram!

My wonderful friend @chimerrobang drew this art of Sam Wilson and Sharon Carter for me as a gift and I can't even describe how much I love it 😍 It's beautiful and intimate and unfortunately I can't post the whole thing because Tumblr, but I wanted to make sure you got to see at least some of it. I love Sharon's cascading hair and their expressions and the pose is gorgeous as well.

Thank you again, Sarah! ❤
