pluvialcity:

give me complex Sam Wilson

give me a Sam Wilson who has setbacks and awful days where he can’t face the world

give me Sam Wilson who’s a goddamn professional counselor and knows better than to psychoanalyze his friends

give me Sam Wilson with a spare room and a hearty breakfast for anybody who needs it

give me Sam Wilson allowing himself one day a year to get blindingly angry about Riley’s death, allowing himself to go out and drink more than he should and maybe get in a bar fight and then walking back into work two days later with a smile on his face, because there’s nowhere to go but up

give me Sam Wilson having a hair straightener because his mom visits so often that she decided to keep one at his house

give me Sam Wilson referring the Avenger to actual mental health professionals who he knows can put up with their bullshit

give me a Sam Wilson who only took up running because he couldn’t sleep and needed a way to distract himself from the nightmares

give me Sam Wilson, afraid of heights until he could control how he got up there and how he’s getting down

give me more Sam Wilson god damn it.
