That vid is terrific, juliana! The source materials blended seamlessly, they worked great with the music and highlighted the ideas expressed in the lyrics perfectly. Thanks for linking it.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

That vid is terrific, juliana
And it was made by a former occasional poster here, who used to go by the nom-de-net of Melymbrosia.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh, Mely! Awesome.
The vid is mentioned in Gavia's Daily Dot article on modern fans' interpretation of Cap. It was with a vague sense of embarrassment that I realized I know each of the fanfics referenced. And the essay. But, this re-interpretation of Cap is why I like Cap now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I wish they'd link to Fanlore instead of TVTropes.
Also, they totally should have mentioned that story where Steve supports union workers on strike, somewhat to SHIELD's horror.

I also wish that Aja (I assume it was Aja, I read the article on my phone) had indicated that Thuvia's vid was rather more complicated than a re-imagining of Steve Rogers' politics.

That story makes we want to start an Average Avengers chapter.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Just read a weird and interesting Sherlock/John fic that wanted me to read all their wiki hyperlinks and possibly get lost on a tvtropes equivalent website, and then had a bummer downer if an ending. I feel betrayed by being asked to put all this extra investment into a fic and then be denied even a lady or tiger ending. Maybe I don't have legitimate reason to be angry with the author, but I truly am. And the extra investment asked of me seems to be fanning the flames beyond normal betrayal.
