What’s happening with the wobbly laminated paper of time when casca says “it was Greek to me” and everyone has an extra little additional laugh bc it’s soemthing we all say but this is where it comes from like this is Shakespeare inventing that little phrase and we’re all having a cheeky little moment both in the text but primarily OUTSIDE the text but somehow Shakespeare ISNT invited? What’s happening there

Steve’s meandering down the Smithsonian’s hallways under dim museum-lighting. Children laugh and screech as they run past waving plastic shields from the gift shop. The commercialization hurts worst— when, to him, this place feels so much like a memorial.
He keeps his distance, ball cap pulled down low to deter recognition. Steve’s not in the mood to sign autographs. His life is in pieces behind bulletproof glass cases— drawings, some knickknacks from the old apartment, a medallion of the Blessed Virgin that had fallen with him into the Arctic. (His mother’s medallion—of which countless requests for back have been denied.)
A tour group comes through as he’s staring up at a mannequin wearing a replica of Bucky’s old uniform. He shoves his hands deep into his pockets and glances down at his shoes.
A shrill voice cuts through his reverie. “Sergeant James Barnes, who enlisted to serve his country after—”
“That’s not true.” Too impulsive for his own good, Steve can’t catch the words before they tumble out of his smart mouth. Dozens of eyes are on him by the time he bites his tongue.
A man in the crowd asks what his problem is. A child scowls at him. The tour guide blinks blankly. “Excuse me?”
“Look at his service number.” (Steve gestures to the display, though he knows it by heart.) “32557038. He was drafted.”
The tour guide shakes her head. “Actually, I’m not sure that’s—”
“He didn’t have a choice.” The firm finality in Steve’s voice snaps her mouth shut. Someone had lied—maybe to make Bucky out to be a saint, or to sell a narrative. But Steve’s sick of it; sick at the disrespect. Angry enough to burn his cheeks.
‘They took him from me.’ Steve wants to shout. He remembers finding the notice in Bucky’s jacket pocket. He remembers crying in the kitchen on a cold morning because life was so fucking unfair. Because he was scared. He remembers Bucky promising everything would be okay.
(Of course nothing had been okay, but Bucky had always been a better liar than him.)
Steve shoulders past people, out of the exhibit at the first muffled whisper of ‘Captain America!’ And he’s two blocks away before he unclenches his jaw.

Hi it's 2021 and I just read Not Easily Conquered for the first time and it made me so crazy I had to make graphics about it until I calmed down.

I always find it so funny when fanfic writers go from writing fairly modern prose to then writing something like, “for even Steve knew there was something amiss.”
Like okay, calm down there mr Dickens, you could have forgone the ‘for’.

Knowing that “confirmed bachelor” was 19th Century gay slang: mildly amusing.
19th Century authors who honestly didn’t know that “confirmed bachelor” was gay slang using the term to describe their male protagonists without the slightest awareness of what they were implying: priceless.
