So I read an entire book on the history of bananas so I could understand what Steve would think of them
And now you get to hear me ramble about bananas for a little bit.
A lot of people are aware that the type of banana that Steve would have grown up with is not the same as the one we eat today. Steve ate the Gros Michel banana, which was nearly wiped out by a fungus called Panama disease. The banana western countries eat now is the Cavendish variety.
Every since I learned that factoid I've been curious what Steve's relationship with bananas would have been.
The Cavendish was adopted in the late 50s because it fit the very specific niche producers needed for a commercial banana. It tastes similar to the Gros Michel, looks similar, can withstand transport, withstand hurricanes, and is immune to Panama disease. (This is no longer true, Cavendish bananas began to succumb to Panama disease when plantations were started in Asia. As of now, developing a genetically modified banana is the best solution for a new banana. But if you want to know more about that I suggest you read Dan Koeppel's book.)
The Cavendish is similar enough to the Gros Michel that producers and consummers were able to make the shift, but there are some interesting differences.
Taste: The author tasted many different bananas around the world and concluded that the Cavendish was "the blandest of all the bananas."
As for the Gros Michel it "was larger, with a thicker skin, a creamier texture, and a more intense, fruity taste.” (p. xiv). Although according to this blog, eating an under-ripe Gros Michel tastes exactly like a Cavendish.
So the first time Steve has a Cavendish Steve might think he's simply eating a banana that isn't ripe.
But he'd probably notice something was up before he even took a bite because of another important difference.
Skin: The Gros Michel was a lot sturdier. The skins were thicker and could withstand shipping a lot better. Apparently the Gros Michel was so robust that the fruit wasn't even boxed. "Gros Michel bunches could be thrown in cargo holds and shipped on rough seas without bruising or breaking as long as they were kept cool" (149).
I was shocked to read that before the switch bananas were not boxed. That innovation came with the Cavendish. The introduction of the box meant that bunches had to broken up into the standard '5 to a hand' that we have now.
So when Steve went to the store, grocers "sold Gros Michel by hanging entire bunches of the fruit, straight from distributors, in their stores" (150). This means that Steve would be unused to seeing little bunches of bananas in the store.
Also, the smaller bunches allowed for advertising on each individual banana, which wasn't the case before. So stickers on bananas would also be new.
Would Steve have eaten bananas?
Yes. Bananas were immensely popular. They were cheap, tasted good, and were easy to pack or carry. Babies could eat them, old people could eat them, everyone ate them.
The first drop in banana consumption happened during WW2, because bananas couldn't be grown locally and there were no vessels to bring the fruit to America.
Bonus: A viral song about Bananas from 1923
youtube
I found two versions, the Eddie Cantor one is most famous.

Random Bucky-related Fact I Uncovered:
Tumblr media
The house on the left corner there is 169 Clinton Street (circa 1935), Brooklyn, where H. P. Lovecraft stayed 1924-1926. The area’s multiculturalism horrified him so much he had to write The Horror at Red Hook (1927) about it.
Why's this interesting?
Because if you look at this prop dog tag for Bucky in the MCU...
Tumblr media
...You'll see that that next-of-kin address ^ for Bucky 
Is two houses down, behind HP Lovecraft's place, on the street you're looking down at the far-left of that image up there. ^
Tumblr media
So the area HP Lovecraft found horrifyingly multicultural in the late 1920s, that's where Steve and Bucky were growing up! 😊

And on my breast you may carve a turtle dove, To signify I died of love.
Tumblr media
This was written as a beyond belated New Year's gift for @kestrafagnor, @amarriageoftrueminds, @16woodsequ, and @dontcallmebree. Without their hilarious input in this post, this fic would never have left my Google Docs.
Link here.
In which, comedy and tragedy are rolled into a one-shot featuring the Howling Commandos & the Gayest Coverup in Modern History™, and the inner thoughts of Steve as the war progresses, and the passage of time steadily brings him closer to losing the man he loves.

#steggyweek22 - day seven (belated) - free choice
peggy can’t say she wasn’t warned. 
the official secrets act had prevented most of it thus far. but time marches on, as they say, and she’s now part of the historical record. and...there’s an exhibit. her first, a rite of passage among those like her. angie is an urban legend in her own right, and she’s tickled by the podcasts and the museum exhibits and the movies that try and fail to capture her many, many lifetimes. jarvis maintains his legendary stiff upper lip in the face of the conspiracy theories about his supposed time traveler status, while ana tries to get them in the background of as many photos as possible. peggy, as the newest of the lot, knows she should be proud of her tradecraft, since so little of her exploits have been uncovered (or linked to her, anyway), but really she’s just annoyed. the audacity of this museum and this curator to commit such lies and slander to plinth? well, she’s stayed undercover for this long for a good reason - she’s very good at what she does, and she knows how to mess with someone’s head. time to teach this steven grant rogers a thing or two.
steve will deny it under pain of death - but he’s always had a bit of a crush on agent peggy carter. he’s not the first historian to become a tad infatuated with a person they’re studying, but his level of regard (read: obsession) since doing his master’s thesis on the role of women in the post-war intelligence community is borderline concerning. which is why he was so excited to curate this exhibit on women in espionage for the international spy museum. and why he is afraid to admit...he’s pretty sure he’s being haunted. by peggy carter. or at least, someone who has her handwriting and feels very strongly about inaccuracies in his exhibit. there’s so little that’s known about her - born in hampstead in 1921, lied about her age to join the war effort, was seconded to the ssr, set up shield before going missing in action in 1951 - and steve did his best to represent her accurately in this new exhibit, but clearly someone objects to the historical record. strenuously.
through increasingly passive-aggressive sticky notes left on the museum labels, unsigned letters to the editor in the washington post, a series of anonymous twitter threads lambasting the museum, and a trove of handwritten notebooks mysteriously dropped in steve’s home mailbox, he begins to better understand who peggy carter was, and wishes more than anything that he could meet her for real. he begins to respond to the sticky notes and the twitter threads, hoping that he’ll find a relative or an old friend who can fill in the blanks that still remain.
is he in for the shock of his life...
or, a sitcom au where a (relatively) young immortal peggy carter trolls museum curator steve rogers

title: as ever and always
pairing(s): steve x bucky, background natasha x clint, background sam x valkyrie
rated: e
main tags: au - Historical, au - pen pals, epistolary, artist!steve, sculptor!bucky, gilded era, identity porn, mutual pining, slow burn, mob related shenanigans, rivals to lovers, or more accurately, irritation to lovers, au - no powers, except the power of love and paint fumes, canon typical violence, just a little, as a treat, happy endings, eventual smut, bottom steve, top bucky
summary:
‘Dear Winter, It feels odd to me to address you as such, you who are supposed to be my companion, while knowing that this is not your true name. It feels disingenuous on my part, however, being the pawn in whatever game Miss Romanova has concocted with Mr Barton, I am compelled to adhere to these rules, such as they are, even if I do not understand their purpose.
|| Steve Rogers cannot truly be called a struggling artist not when he has the patronage of the distinguished Miss Natalia Romanova at his back, but that doesn't mean he isn't struggling. On the hunt to secure a gallery show by any means necessary, Steve finds himself caught up in schemes beyond his control. The mob has threatened his mother and Miss Romanova has set him up with an anonymous pen pal of all things. Steve cannot afford to be distracted. But when the ever-irritating James Buchanan Barnes works his way into Steve's life and just won't leave? He can't help himself.
Could there be more? Or is it only gilded?

Ahhh thank you so much for the tag @sadeyedlady-writes!! I'm going to have so much fun doing this <3
1. Three non-romantic duos: OOO I cannot choose! For one, it has to be Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers, they're so sweet with each other, and their friendship is one I can only dream of having. The trust they have is beautiful and I think that special sort of brotherly love they have is very precious.
Tumblr media
For the second one it is Sara Howard and John Moore. I love their dynamic, and although I haven't finished watching the second season of The Alienist, I am already in love with them being together. They get into trouble together, and complain about Lazlo together, they're a very fun pair and I adore them so much!
Tumblr media
The third one is Sherlock Holmes and John Watson but from the Russian adaptation from the 70s specifically. They're so kind and good with each other, and they're both so funny. I love this adaptation so much, and I think it is the best television portrayal of the characters. They're so lovely, and they truly care for each other.
Tumblr media
2. A ship that might surprise others: Honestly, Maria Hill and Steve Rogers. I don't know why, something about it is just perfect, and I love it, and they are so good together, and I want to see them interact more.
3. Last song: Мальчик мой by Chernikovskaya Hata
4. Last Film: Sharper (2023) I will admit, I started watching it because Sebastian Stan was in it, but I quite enjoyed the premise, and it was overall a pretty fun heist film!
Tumblr media
5. Currently reading: The Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum. It's a very difficult read, and the English is really hard, even harder than classics, but it's super good, and I was craving a good old thriller, and this one scratches that itch perfectly. I am also reading The North Water by Ian McGuire, and it's so on the edge of your seat suspenseful, and somewhat graphic, but it's so so so well written, and the atmosphere simply seeps through the pages like nothing else.
6. Currently watching: The Alienist. It's such a well written show, and I love the costumes, and it's all so historically accurate so far. I love the dynamics between the characters, and I love love love psychiatric history which this show has so much of in it, and of course, it has some incredible actors as well!
7. Currently consuming: A caramel and chocolate icecream sandwich and it's so so good.
8. Currently craving: Oh, I want sushi so badly. Some good laks (or lox) as well!
I’m going to tag @writethewolvesaway @catcoffeeenjoyer @mohich and everybody else who sees this and wants to do it! Don't feel pressured to do it if you don't want to as well! <3

About 600 words written today -- up on campus for a larger than usual chunk of the day having lunch with my advisor (rained on my way up), then in the writing center for three hours (I usually stay past the end of my shift on Thursdays because by the time I get home I don’t want to do work, and I will do it there).  Went down a rabbit hole trying to find an accurate newspaper headline for a specific newspaper for a specific day; did finally find it, then went back into research rabbit hole for more historical context because there was just a lot happening in March-April 1945.
Snippet from Of Home Near chapter 6.
“Captain Rogers,” Peggy said, and he glanced up as the three Commandos at the table all looked away, clearly uncomfortable at what they knew was coming next.  “That Woman is not going to Berlin with you.”
He could hear the capital letters in the words.  Jones seized a map apparently at random and he, Dugan, and Morita bent over it, whispering urgently about potential drop sites.
Steve rubbed at his forehead again.  He wasn’t willing to go to Berlin without Natasha, but there was no good way to tell that to Peggy, Phillips, or anyone else.  It wasn’t that he was afraid to go into a fight without her at his back; what he was afraid of was the time travel reversing and one of them getting trapped in 1945 because they weren’t together at the time.
“I didn’t say that she was,” he said to Peggy.  He could tell from her expression that she didn’t believe a single word coming out of his mouth, for which he couldn’t blame her.  He could have been talking about Bucky, a slip he remembered making a few times during the awful days between the train and the Valkyrie, but right now no one was going to believe that.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN
[There is a discussion of rape in paragraph 12.]
Three big stories today. First of all, the Democrats are taking a victory lap on the anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a law that has transformed the U.S. economy and for which not a single Republican voted. 
The IRA was the eventual form President Joe Biden’s initial “Build Back Better” plans took. It offered to lower Americans’ energy costs with a 30% tax credit for energy-efficient windows, heat pumps, or newer models of appliances; capped the cost of drugs at $2,000 per year for people on Medicare; and made healthcare premiums fall for certain Americans by expanding the Affordable Care Act. 
By raising taxes on the very wealthy and on corporations and bringing the Internal Revenue Service back up to full strength so that it can crack down on tax cheating, as well as saving the government money by permitting it to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, the IRA was expected to raise $738 billion. That, plus about $891 billion from other sources, enabled the law to make the largest investment ever in addressing climate change while still bringing down the federal government’s annual deficit.
“This is a BFD,” former President Barack Obama tweeted a year ago.
“Thanks, Obama,” Biden responded.
The law has driven significant investment in U.S. manufacturing. Indeed, the chief executive officer of U.S. Steel recently said the law should be renamed the “Manufacturing Renaissance Act,” as manufacturers return previously offshored production to the U.S. That same shift has brought supply chains back to the U.S. These changes have meant new, well-paid manufacturing jobs that have been concentrated in Republican-dominated states and in historically disadvantaged communities. 
Scientists Alicia Zhao and Haewon McJeon, who recently published an article in Science, today wrote that the IRA “brings the US significantly closer to meeting its 2030 climate target [of cutting greenhouse gas emissions to 50–52% below 2005 levels], taking expected emissions from 25–31% below 2005 levels down to 33–40% below.”
While Republican presidential candidates took shots at the IRA today—former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley called it “a communist manifesto”—Democrats have pointed out that Republicans have been eager to take credit for IRA investments in their districts without mentioning either that they voted against the IRA or that they are still trying to repeal it.
If the Democrats are taking a victory lap for passing this transformative law a year ago, the second big story today showed the effort to steal the 2020 presidential election was fully formed earlier than had been established previously. That story came from MSNBC’s Ari Melber, who revealed a video taken by Danish filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen of Trump ally Roger Stone plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election on November 5, 2020, two days before the election was called for President Biden. 
In the video, Stone dictated to an associate a statement saying that “any legislative body may decide on the basis of overwhelming evidence of fraud to send electors to the Electoral College who accurately reflect the president’s legitimate victory in their state, which was illegally denied him through fraud. We must be prepared to lobby our Republican legislatures…by personal contact and by demonstrating the overwhelming will of the people in their state—in each state—that this may need to happen,” he said. 
This video, recorded while the election was not yet decided, recalls the statement of Trump ally Steve Bannon, who told a group of associates on October 31, 2020—before the election—that Trump simply planned to declare he had won, claiming that the expected wave in favor of Biden was fraudulent. “What Trump’s gonna do is just declare victory. Right? He’s gonna declare victory. But that doesn’t mean he’s a winner,” Bannon said. “He’s just gonna say he’s a winner.”
The third big story of today shows how Trump Republicans think about women. It hits hard in the wake of this week’s story in Time magazine of the 13-year-old Mississippi girl who just gave birth after being raped by a stranger in her yard. She was unable to obtain an abortion because of Mississippi’s abortion ban. She is scheduled soon to start seventh grade.
Yesterday, far away from the home of that Mississippi girl, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit handed down a decision about the use of the abortion drug mifepristone in the case of Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Last year, as soon as the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision recognizing the constitutional right to abortion, antiabortion doctors tried to get mifepristone taken off the market by arguing that the FDA should never have approved it when it did so in 2000. The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine was incorporated just after last June’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision overturned Roe v. Wade.
In April 2023, Trump appointee and longtime abortion opponent Texas judge Matthew Kacsmaryk issued a preliminary ruling invalidating that approval. The federal appeals court yesterday said the drug should be legal, but significantly limited its use by saying it could not be sent through the mail or prescribed without an in-person visit to a doctor, cutting midwives and other healthcare providers out of the process. 
Judge James Ho, who was sworn into office by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in his billionaire benefactor Harlan Crow’s library in 2018 (Texas Republican senator Ted Cruz was also there), wrote his own opinion in the case in order to expand on what he sees as “the historical pedigree of Plaintiffs’ conscience injury, and to explore how Plaintiffs suffer aesthetic injury as well.” 
Antiabortion doctors suffer a moral injury when they are forced to help patients who have complications from the use of mifepristone, Ho wrote, because they are forced to participate in an abortion against their principles. 
Those doctors also experience an aesthetic injury when patients choose abortion because, as one said, “When my patients have chemical abortions, I lose the opportunity…to care for the woman and child through pregnancy and bring about a successful delivery of new life.” Indeed, Ho wrote, “It’s well established that, if a plaintiff has ‘concrete plans’ to visit an animal’s habitat and view that animal, that plaintiff suffers aesthetic injury when an agency has approved a project that threatens the animal.”
In cases where the government “approved some action—such as developing land or using pesticides—that threatens to destroy…animal or plant life that plaintiffs wish to enjoy,” that injury “is redressable by a court order holding unlawful and setting aside the agency approval. And so too here. The FDA has approved the use of a drug that threatens to destroy the unborn children in whom Plaintiffs [that is, the antiabortion doctors] have an interest.” 
“Unborn babies are a source of profound joy for those who view them,” Ho wrote. “Expectant parents eagerly share ultrasound photos with loved ones. Friends and family cheer at the sight of an unborn child. Doctors delight in working with their unborn patients—and experience an aesthetic injury when they are aborted.” 
The decision will be on hold until the appeals process is completed.

Time to break your heart : in Captain America - The Winter soldier, “It’s been a long long time” is playing not as a soundtrack to the movie but as a real song being listened to in Steve’s apartment.
Which means that Steve owned the vinyl.
Which means he probably listened to it thinking about Bucky and the fact he’d never see him again.

How can Midge not realise that she put Shy in danger and that SHE is the one to blame for being dropped out of this tour ? Her situation is a result of her own actions. She needs to get her head out of her ass.
She’s not being a badass woman by wanting revenge, she’s just blind to her faults and mistakes.
This first episode made me really upset.

I want sapphic Bridgerton. I already watch Gentleman Jack, and I love it, but it’s not the same. I want the flirting, the lack of historically accurate homophobia, the ridiculously sparkly dresses, and the string covers of pop songs. But with TWO WOMEN. I want to see two princesses together, okay ? No Prince Charming.

Recipe Advent Calendar - Day 10
Happy Holidays!
To celebrate the season, I am doing 12-days of seasonal recipes from the 14th to the 25th December. These are recipes published in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle newspaper during the period that Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes lived in Brooklyn in the early 20th century.
Moravian Christmas Cookies
1/2 cup butter or other shortening, melted 1 cup molasses, heated 1/2 cup brown sugar 3/4 teaspoon ginger 3/4 teaspoon cloves 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon allspice Dash of salt 3/4 teaspoon soda 3 3/4 cups sifted special cake flour Combine butter and molasses, add sugar, spices, salt and soda. Add flour. Let stand in cold place a week. Place a small amount of dough on a slightly floured board and roll paper-thin. Cut with fancy cookie cutters. Place on greased baking sheet and bake in moderate oven 365 degrees Fahrenheit six minutes. These cookies keep indefinitely in closed tins. Makes 200 cookies.
The recipe appeared in the Friday 19 December 1930 edition of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

📖Ao3 Masterlist
✒ A Bloody Martini, Please (Vampire!Bucky x Pre-serum Steve) 3.8K words
On a cool, withering October night, Steve unexpectedly runs into a man who either the man of his dreams or his nightmares. No in betweens. Not all seems completely natural about this beautiful stranger, not from his crystalline eyes to his curiously sharp teeth. Or, Bucky is clearly a vampire, and Steve is a poor botanist who's just a bit oblivious.
✒ Home is Where the Heart is, So Come Home (To Me) 1.5K words
(Post-CATWS) 1.5K words
In which Steve celebrates his 97th birthday with Sam and Nat, but he can't help but wish Bucky is with him too.
✒ For Never Was a Story of More Woe Than This 8.6K words
(Stucky Theatre AU, Enemies to lovers) 8.6K words Fic Masterlist
"What would Juliet be without her Romeo?" Bucky snorts. "Fucking alive is what she would be." ... Bucky Barnes hasn't heard from Steve Rogers in 3 years. He'd rather never hear from him again. Too bad he's transferring to Stark Performing Arts University where he'll be forced to take the male-only lead roles with Steve in the school's queer rendition of the play "Romeo & Juliet". The close proximity triggers sparks to fly and the pair begin to rethink and investigate why they hate each other so much. Maybe they'll fall in love again along the way.
✒ And on my breast you may carve a turtle dove, To signify I died of love 5.8K words (Historically accurate Stucky, Canon compliant)
In which, comedy and tragedy are rolled into a one-shot featuring the Howling Commandos & the Gayest Coverup in Modern History™, and the inner thoughts of Steve as the war progresses, and the passage of time steadily brings him closer to losing the man he loves.

What I’m Looking For http://archiveofourown.org/series/2218041
By: TessaBennet
(descriptions by author)
_____
Part 1: These City Walls 
https://archiveofourown.org/works/30136923
Teen and up
Before there was Captain America, before there was even a war, there were two idiots in Brooklyn, just getting by every day, living a life, trying very hard not to let it show that they had, as a matter of fact, fallen in love with each other.
This is the first part of what I plan to be a multi-part fic spanning the entirety of the MCU, following Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes on their journey with, away from, separate from, and back towards each other.
It covers the years of their childhood and youth together, before the war caught up to the boys.

Part 2:  Carried the Cross 
https://archiveofourown.org/works/34651735
Mature
Steve was never good at picking his battles; Bucky was always good at keeping him safe anyway. But as the war comes around, the rhythm between them and around them changes: new faces, new places, new fights. But the two of them, that's the one constant.
This is the second part of this series, picking up where part one left off, and this time following Steve and Bucky throughout World War II, as they grow individually, with each other, and with the old and new people in their lives.
Just like before, this part is fully written, and includes a lot of self-indulgence and just as much in-depth looks into the characters and happenings as part one (hopefully) provided. Only this time, they go through the war.

Part 3:  The Hand of a Devil

Explicit - 18+
While Steve is buried under Arctic ice, frozen in time, Bucky Barnes is alive; and he has been turned into a weapon by his enemies, living as the Fist of Hydra - the Winter Soldier. It is a half-life, and the years are long and full of pain, as the world keeps on changing.
This is part three of the series, and like the tags say it spans the years between 1945 and 2012, following Bucky during his time as the Winter Soldier, but also some other familiar faces along the way.
While it's definitely the darkest part of the series, it will still include lots of self-indulgent and in-depth looks into the characters and semi-accurate historical events.

Part 4:  Still Running 
https://archiveofourown.org/works/44094828
Mature
Twenty six of thirty chapters are as yet written in this part, spanning the time from Avengers (2012) to just before Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The focus will be on Steve, logically, but I'll shed some light on the other Avengers as well.
Steve Rogers is, against his wishes and intentions, still alive in the 21st century. There's aliens in New York, there's an intelligence agency in his name, there's more new faces than old ones. And Steve? He's reluctant about it, but he's going to have to try to get by. Finding his footing isn't a job he wants to tackle; but then, when's the last time he got what he wanted?

Snippet:
So yeah, Steve hasn't slept all that much this past week, and he just wants to go back to his apartment to sleep it all off. But Tony's standing in front of the elevators, chatting with Nick Fury and Maria Hill, his gestures broad and his voice loud as usual. Steve clenches his jaw as he approaches, hoping against hope that they won't spot him so that he can walk past them in peace.
Of course that's not what happens. “Cap!” Tony calls with excitement when he sees Steve walking their way. “Good to see you. I hear you have a whole museum on your ass now? I mean, good for you I suppose, I'm not jealous or anything, just –“
Fury sighs, long-suffering. “Thank you, Mr. Stark, for breaking this news to Captain Rogers,” he says sarcastically.
“What, was it supposed to be a surprise?” Tony shoots back. “We'll blindfold him and then all jump out when he walks into the room shouting –“
“What's going on?” Steve interrupts. He's too tired for this right now. He just wants to toe off his shoes and sleep for the next twelve hours.
Agent Hill clears her throat. “Your PR team just reported that the Smithsonian Museum called to ask your permission for an exhibit on...” She pauses, tilts her head. “Well, you.”

“Damn.” Bucky rests the switch on his shoulder and counts again. The calves, just-separated from the cows, bawl in their pen. “We’re short.”
He squints across the empty field and holds out a hand to Steve, who knows to procure a toothpick from his pocket. They’re 16 and Bucky’s once-soft features have sharpened. Whenever he sets a toothpick or a wheat stalk or straw between his teeth—and Bucky always wears something between his teeth now—Steve notices the new angle of his jaw, the shift of muscles underneath.
But then, Steve notices everything about Bucky.
Two Brooklyn boys meet aboard an orphan train headed west on the eve of the American Civil War.
