She had it all wrapped up nice and neat when she handed it to him. A record player that looked simple and classy, but could convert vinyl to mp3 so he could take his oldest songs with him wherever he went. “So, you’re surprisingly hard to shop for. Merry Christmas, Steve.”
★— IT WAS ALMOST A SHAME to unwrap such beautiful and ornate wrapping, but eventually as he unfolded the brightly patterned wrapping paper it unveiled the device – which would also put together what Janet gave to him years ago; the player and the compact device.
ECSTATIC as he was, she may have said he was difficult to buy for, but this was REALLY something.
❛ Jubilee! You really didn’t have to– geez, this is beautiful! I’m goin’ to make GREAT use out of it! Thank you so much..! ❜

You people telling me how I just don’t understand? When it’s you people– you clever people– who don’t get it. I don’t let people die because it’s the lesser of two evils, or expedient, or because it serves the greater good… I don’t compare the act against something else– I see someone who needs help… And I help. You think it’s a weakness. You think it’s simple… But you’re wrong. It’s what makes us human… Which is exactly what we’re supposed to be fighting for. I know who I am. I RESCUE THE HELPLESS. I raise up the hopeless. I don’t measure people’s lives… I save them.
❛ Patriotism taken too far is FANATICISM . No matter who you are or where you’re from. Foreigners aren’t your enemy, son. I’m the son of immigrants. When I was a kid it was my father’s people, the Irish, who were looked down on. Called filthy foreigners. Discriminated against. Is that the xenophobic America you want? All religions, all nationalities, WE ALL WANT THE SAME THING. To see our children grow strong. To provide safety to our families. To live in quiet times. Peace, son. Isn’t that why we became soldiers in the first place?
Steve Rogers was your average kid, a who had nothing. He grew up during the great depression which resulted in him later on having a great value for everything that he now receives. He was meek as a child and was constantly bullied for his small size, that added to the fact that he had an extremely poor immune system and was diagnosed with every ailment and illness under the sun. Instead he continued with his education, specialising in arts where he constantly depicted himself as a super-hero, or drew heroes that could help save him.
After his mother (Sarah) passed away he faced a severe depression which he masked by engulfing himself in his pursuit of achieving his dream; joining the army and following in the footsteps of his father (Joseph).
He was constantly rejected. Time after time due to his small stature until he was taken on board project ‘rebirth’ where with the assistance of Howard Stark’s technology and Dr Josef Reinstien – he was turned into a super soldier. Initially he was a poster boy, being used for marketing campaigns by the US army in order to encourage recruitment as well as help improve the general PR image.
Breaking the rules and letting his complex get in the way, he decided to take down US’s number one enemy at the time – the Red Skull.
It was during a fight with Baron Zemo - that he had lost his best friend, Bucky Barnes in a tragic fall when the boy wonder was strapped to a rocket. Steve watched the rocket explode and that image had forever haunted his nightmares.
Taking down the Red Skull, he managed to save the country – however, it involved extreme self sacrifice as he steered the plane he was in into the sea. Luckily enough, it was preserved in ice as the sub-zero conditions froze Steve in a block of ice for a number of decades. The super-soldier serum is what had kept him alive all this time, preserved in ice until eventually he was thawed free – waking up, confused, dazed and delusional.
This is a largely 616 blog. Please ask if you want to RP MCU! - if you want to RP MCU you have one of two choices; either I will switch to MCU to suit you if you’re more comfortable with that OR we can do an alternate version where 616 meets your MCU.
All smut and gore will be tagged as NSFW or TW: Gore
Please be aware I’ve got one main trigger – Self Harm, if you could please tag themed posts with tw: self harm, I’d really appreciate it!
Feel free to thread
Do not expect instantaneous replies
Please remind me if I haven’t replied to our thread within a week.
Ship hate and bashing will not be tolerated.
Please have fun while threading! If you have ideas I would love to hear them.
Mun has been roleplaying as Steve Rogers for 4 years now. This is a reboot account after a hiatus.
IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE A THREAD FROM AN ASK: please create a new thread and tag me. I will NOT continue asks that have been reblogged - it just makes things easier for the both of us!
I will drop your thread if I believe that you are godmodding / becoming a Gary/Mary sue.
I will assume your character knows little of mine or hasn’t met unless they have in the comics
ASKS: If you wish to continue a thread that has spawned from an ask meme, PLEASE create a new thread and tag me in it, rather than reblogging the ask! I just feel it messes up formatting and looks a bit clustered.
Please see my EXCLUSIVITY page for particular character exclusivity before interacting! I’m not exclusive on many characters but there’s just a handful that have sentimental value to me!
In terms of shipping, I am open minded and will usually provide your muse with a verse of their own. But please note, while I play Steve as bisexual I do NOT ship Steve and Bucky in any universe, please respect that and ensure that your ships are tagged and I’ll do the same. I usually tag anything to do with Tony/Steve as otp: you gave me a home.
