All is well that ends in pizza.

Wow, that's a lot of Endgame references.

Spoilers abound.

I was, too, and especially that it was frickin' Jon Favreau who did me in. I am going to be pretty pathetic the next time I eat a cheeseburger.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Billytea, I've been mapping everything out on paper. This is what I'm at right now re:

I don't know what the deal was with Cap. I like the solution that his last stop was returning the Time Stone to SWINTON, and she then used it to mess with things - so his outcome differed from the quantum time travel rules. I don't know whether that means he hid out in our timeline with Peggy for 70 years, or if he had his own alternate timeline (where perhaps he intervened in a couple of things) and was then popped back into our timeline to say goodbye to everyone.

So I think he planned this. On rewatch, Bucky knew Steve wasn't coming back. You don't say I'll miss you to someone who is going to be gone for two seconds from your perspective. I'd thought about the Ancient One and 2012, but then I realized, oh, wait: he can just talk to Stephen Strange about it to see if it's even feasible. So he'd have strategized. He's Steve Rogers: this is a thing he does. He'd have figured out ahead of time what he could and could not do in that branch to keep it from having the same fate as his original timeline. Then he gets Bucky's blessing. Then, and only then, does he go. What he can safely change, he does. I like to think that he saved Bucky, that he kept SHIELD from being overtaken by Hydra, that as the Soviet Union fell, he found a way to track down a young orphan girl and save her from the Red Room.

I cried a lot this time. But, as I said on Twitter and in texting, "today was less overt sobbing, more a slow and constant leak."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm sure he planned it out to the last detail. Because that's what I'd do, and he's at least as smart as me. I bet he'd been thinking about it at least since he saw Peggy .

I think losing both Natasha and Tony played a role in the decision, too. He may have still done it if Tony had lived, but I don't think he'd have done it if Natasha had. (Of the OG Avengers, she was the one he was closest to and the one who he'd have felt an obligation towards.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

America's ass.

Oh yeah.

I'm very glad to have all of you here to answer my questions before I even ask them. And I'm not sure there are words to express how much I love that it ended with Steve and Peggy.

HOW DO I GET Dear Mr Fantasy out of my fucking head? CHRIST WEPT. But, man, that segue into Tony and Nebula (MY CYBORG BB!) passing the time on the ship. Those little moments of mutual kindness... SO MANY LITTLE MOMENTS showing everyone's humanity. God.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I forgot to mention this: during the support group scene, I thought for about 15 seconds -- for real -- that it was a support group for LGBTQ+ folx, and we were about to get confirmation of Steve Rogers, Disaster Bi. No lie, I really thought they were going to go there. But only for 15 seconds.
