A little bit hesitate to post this one as it’s only in Chinese
This is drew for a poem.
It’s too difficult for me to translate those beautiful words in an accurate way.
I will appreciate if someone could help to translate it into English.
All right, here’s my attempt at translation, @xxxxxx6x. Paragraph breaks indicate panel breaks.
To the Oak Tree
If I were to love you, I would not be like the clambering campsis flower, Using your tall branches to flaunt my self;
If I were to love you, I would not be like the besotten bird, Repeating the same simplistic tune in exchange for shade;
Nor would I be merely the source of spring water, Always there to provide support and refreshment; Nor just the tall cliffs, There to increase your height and accent your dignity. Or even the sunlight. Or even the spring rain. No, those are not enough!
I must be a Kapok tree by your side, Stand with you as a tree. Roots, firmly entwined in the ground; Leaves, gently brushing in the clouds.
With every passing breeze, We murmur to each other, Speaking words That none else will understand.
You with your branches of iron and your trunk of steel, Like a knife, like a sword, like a halberd; My with my red blossoms, Like a heavy sigh, Or a brazen torch.
Together we bear the cold winds, the pounding rain and the crackling lightning; Together we share the morning fog, the evening mist, and the rainbow. We stand, seemingly separated, Yet we will always be there for each other.
Only this can be truly profound love, where loyalty and faith lives: Love – I love not just your majestic being, I love also your stubborn position, The ground beneath your feet.
Steve Rogers did, in fact, realize that something was off when he saw the outline of the woman’s odd bra (a push-up bra, he would later learn), but being an officer and a gentleman, he said that it was the game that gave the future away.
No, see, this scene is just amazing. The costume department deserves so many kudos for this, it’s unreal, especially given the fact that they pulled off Peggy pretty much flawlessly.
1) Her hair is completely wrong for the 40’s. No professional/working woman would have her hair loose like that. Since they’re trying to pass this off as a military hospital, Steve would know that she would at least have her hair carefully pulled back, if maybe not in the elaborate coiffures that would have been popular.
2) Her tie? Too wide, too long. That’s a man’s tie, not a woman’s. They did, however, get the knot correct as far as I can see – that looks like a Windsor.
3) That. Bra. There is so much clashing between that bra and what Steve would expect (remember, he worked with a bunch of women for a long time) that it has to be intentional. She’s wearing a foam cup, which would have been unheard of back then. It’s also an exceptionally old or ill-fitting bra – why else can you see the tops of the cups? No woman would have been caught dead with misbehaving lingerie like that back then, and the soft satin cups of 40’s lingerie made it nearly impossible anyway. Her breasts are also sitting at a much lower angle than would be acceptable in the 40’s.
Look at his eyes. He knows by the time he gets to her hair that something is very, very wrong.
so what you are saying is S.H.E.I.L.D. has a super shitty costume division….
Nope, Nick Fury totally did this on purpose.
There’s no knowing what kind of condition Steve’s in, or what kind of person he really is, after decades of nostalgia blur the reality and the long years in the ice (after a plane crash and a shitload of radiation) do their work. (Pre-crash Steve is in lots of files, I’m sure. Nick Fury does not trust files.) So Fury instructs his people to build a stage, and makes sure that the right people put up some of the wrong cues.
Maybe the real Steve’s a dick, or just an above-average jock; maybe he had a knack for hanging out with real talent. Maybe he hit his head too hard on the landing and he’s not gonna be Captain anymore. On the flipside, if he really is smart, then putting him in a standard, modern hospital room and telling him the truth is going to have him clamming up and refusing to believe a goddamn thing he hears for a really long time.
The real question here is, how long it does it take for the man, the myth, the legend to notice? What does he do about it? How long does he wait to get his bearings, confirm his suspicions, and gather information before attempting busting out?
Turns out the answer’s about forty-five seconds.
Sometimes clever posts die a quiet death in the abyss of the unreblogged. Some clever posts get attention, get comments, get better. Then there’s this one which I’ve watched evolve into a thing of brilliance.
Vintage cover, featuring a WWII image of ‘Captain America’ Steve Rogers and Howling commandos Gabe Jones, James Barnes, Timothy ‘Dum Dum’ Dugan, and an unnamed soldier. This issue was printed before news broke that Captain America had been officially deemed Missing in Action.
I desperately want a fic where Steve marries Bucky out of spite.
I don’t care why. Is it because Fox news tells him to come on their channel and speak out again same-sex marriage, and he just shows up dragging Bucky like ‘surprise motherfuckers’
Did he do it because ppl are trying to put Bucky in jail/facilities and telling him he’s not family, he doesn’t get to see him??? And he’s like ‘i’ll SHOW YOU’
Did he and Bucky promise to shack up together if they got out of the war alive and he’s like screw the universe, we’RE FUCKING DOING IT!!
All I want is Steve the ultimate human version of the ‘pick your battles… no that’s too many’ Rogers to bulldoze through any and everything bc he’s gonna marry Bucky!!!! he’s just gonna and you can’t stop him!
And no one except Bucky actually thinks he’s gonna, but Bucky knows that fucker. he sometimes thinks that the only way he ever survived long enough to become Captain America is out of sheer spite at everyone who thought he was better off dead.
