Once I dug an early grave to find a better land

[musesfool]

A while back, I made a remark that Steve Rogers, like Diana of Themyscira, is turned on by JUSTICE, and

Yeah, I'm unclear why one line (with all due respect ma'am, G-d doesn't dress like that- paraphrase) has seemed to translate to fandom that he is a freaking Neocon. You can believe in a single G-d and still be a liberal. MANY OF US DO.

He's from the past, Kita! When men were men and women knew their place! Regardless of any of the actual circumstances of his life!

I read a really cool thing somewhere about why he would probably also cuss like a motherfucking sailor. It made me happy.

[musesfool]

Heh. Yeah, I think he curses when the situation calls for it - he was in the army after all - but not just in an every day casual way that you or I might.

There's a great panel from the comics where the Avengers are watching one of his propaganda films and Steve-on-screen says something threatening to the bad guys, and Steve in person leans over to Natasha and says, "That's not actually what I said," and when she asks what he really said, he says, "I can't repeat it in mixed company."

As a Diana who always identified with WW, I fully support this pairing!!

[musesfool]

Hee! It would be AMAZING.

*cries* I want this Steve/Diana fic really, really badly now.

[musesfool]

You and me both! Why is there not pages of it at AO3? WHY? *shakes fist at the universe*

Your Steve head!canon is nearly identical to my head!canon. Also, that he's seriously turned on by tough women. I mean, did you see his face when Peggy punched out that guy in basic? Steve and Diana would be infinately superior to the Diana/Clark bullshit DC has going now. Lois/Clark all the way, although I could see Diana/Lois too as a one time thing.

[musesfool]

Exactly! It's also why I ship Steve/Natasha - his FACE when he launches her off his shield is 'AW YEAH BADASS LADIES.'

I also totally ship Lois/Clark (and let's be real, Lois/Clark/Bruce, at least in the DCAU), and refuse to acknowledge the Clark/Diana nonsense going on now, along with 99% of the reboot.

I would read the hell out of that. As a comparatively new WW fan, I haven't been that impressed with any of her pairings (that I've read, anyway). She needs someone who, like herself, is not quite human. (And not Superman. I only know Supes from the Christopher Reeve movies, but come on. Clark/Lois Forever.)

[musesfool]

I actually do ship her with Batman, but that is more from the JLU animated series. I'm not really a fan of Steve Trevor, and I really don't like WW/Superman, and not just because of Lois.

But crossover-wise, I want all the Captain America/Wonder Woman.
