Oh, the weddings... *cheers quite loudly* Really needed at the moment in my stupid, stupid, homophobic, misogynist, xenophobic, STUPID country. The arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice.
XD Miss M is a queen of sarcasm. She's been brought up very carefully.
So happy for all those who can now get *married*. Just saw The Winter Soldier last night and loved it but I know how ridiculous it would look to someone who's not a fan (but the best of the phase 2 movies so far). I'm always happy when people have to acknowledge Chis Evans as a good actor.

I'm always happy when people have to acknowledge Chis Evans as a good actor. It's not an easy part, funnily enough, and I've only seen him in Avengers (I saw maybe 5 minutes of the first Capt America film), but he does a great line in earnestness, which is just lovely. There are far too few earnest heroes anymore. And yes, people who aren't fans don;t understand...
No, it's not an easy part. Did you like him in Avengers? I know a lot of people didn't like him that much and some people got the wrong idea about him being a stickler for rules, but it's very clever in that most people are so busy being annoyed with him for being wrong about Tony that they don't notice he's right about EVERYTHING ELSE. It's hard to play someone nowadays who is earnest and dedicated to what they do without any irony (though he actually has a great sense of humour) but Evans does it very well.
Yes I liked him. (He was SO PLEASED to get the flying monkeys joke! ♥)

Tony is a jerk and goes out of his way to annoy people. (Which is why I love him. *g*) But I can perfectly well appreciate both characters at the same time.

Thank you very much for sharing that first link, so many wonderful pictures indeed. I have no idea why someone would want to stand in the way of obvious love and happyness.
When John Barrowman married last year in California he said it was very emotional, as there were people in their Eighties who thought for their entire life they would never be able to.

You have a Scott/John icon!!! ♥ &heart; Just today I was showing some of my co-workers how John is married to a bloke even more gorgeous than himself! And yeah it's amazing how things have progressed. <3
I grew up in Eastern Germany, where religion was... pretty much nonexistent. Well, it did actually exist, but it wasn't well tolerated and thought to be a thing from the past that needs to be overcome. So, no obstacles for me there.

I do! I did not make it though, I stole it from http://happyhybrid.livejournal.com/ I should ask her if she actually made it to give proper credit. Since it is her default icon, it is a high possibility...
I simply love that embrace. Surely you know the documentary "The making of me"? That's from the end, when John came back home after two weeks in America or something like that. He's practially melting into that embrace.
I also have a Scott icon ;) That one is properly credited.
The two of them are my favourite couple in the whole wide world. Just totally adorable together, and still smitten with each other after 20 years. And that shall be wrong? Nobody can tell me that.

Late to the party, but I loved The Winter Soldier. I tend to take critical reviews of action movies with a grain of salt, because my sense is that most reviewers are kind of snobby and look down their noses at the action genre. Which is really a shame, because the Avengers movies have a lot of great character stuff in them; also, they're written with a wonderful sense of humor and a deep sense of humanity. Entertaining as they are, they always leave me thinking thinky thoughts, and that's always a good thing.
