No problem! There is definitely more out there but I just go with a select few that I also want to keep track of and you're right- tons to sign up for during this time. How to narrow it down and be realistic of what I can actually accomplish is the hard part lol

Steve! Of course. Thanks for asking! :D

1. how I feel about this character:
I absolutely love him. I always liked him but oddly enough, when people started hating on him after CW, I somehow loved him more and went from liking him to feeling oddly protective. He's kind but doesn't take anyone's nonsense. Stubborn, always tries to do the right thing, is snarky, and carries a lot of pain. Evans really had a way of showing Steve's sad smile in the present, which I appreciated even when it broke my heart.

2. all the people I ship romantically and/or sexually with this character
Peggy and Tony. I'm pretty picky.

3. favourite gen relationship(s) for this character
Sam or Natasha. I just love how he had those two and how they both saw him. I like his friendship with Bucky too but not as much as the other two.

4. my unpopular opinion about this character
I get why he didn't tell Tony about what Bucky did and I don't blame him for defending Bucky in the fight. It's easy to say that Tony wouldn't have killed him but in the moment, you just don't know. And I don't hate his Endgame ending either. I understand why people were disappointed but I didn't find it all that surprising. I ship Steve/Peggy of course but even if I hadn't, I think I'd get it. Just like I would've been fine if he ended up with Sharon (I assumed he would when she was introduced in TWS) if they had gone that route despite not shipping it.

5. one thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon
I would've to see him really adjust to the present instead of just feeling like he is floating/stuck there. But I think that was part of the decisions made with his character arc. Also I wish he and Tony had a better, more consistent relationship.

6. random pet theory about this character that you won't convince me is not true
He wouldn't have gone back if he hadn't seen his picture in Peggy's office and the fact she didn't seem to be wearing a wedding ring. Also, he was upfront with her the second he got back and she interrogated him like hell before accepting him.

7. a song or piece of music I associate with this character
I don't know if I have a definite Steve Song, but "The Good Soldier" by Nine Inch Nails fits him pretty well
