Another Interview Link: Captain America and The Starks

[fictivore.livejournal.com]

This one is a really interesting interview with the writers of Captain America about Steve and his relationship with the Starks. It seems most Marvel writers themselves are really really looking forward to seeing how the Cap and Tony relationship plays out in the Avengers. It looks more and more like that movie is going to be EPIC! \o/

Exclusive: The Captain America writers tell us about the conflict between Cap and Iron Man 

Favourite Quotes:

+   "What really fascinated me in the back of my head as we were writing it is that, OK, Steve is fighting alongside this guy [Howard], next year he's going to be fighting alongside his son, who is going to appear to actually be older than his father and older than Steve. None of that is in the movie [explicitly], but it's all extra gravy." 

+   "It's safe to say that in The Avengers they [Cap and Tony] certainly have friction."

             -(Haha, I know it's never going to be the really fun kind of friction, but the simply fun kind is okay too! ;D)

ENJOY!
(Goddammit, still have a *week* before they release the movie in my city. It's out in my country!!! Just not where I can watch it. >:[ )

I'm a fountain of fanfic ideas, yes, thank you. But I'm not a fountain of fanfic, unfortunately, which is the big problem here! I have dozens of ideas bouncing in my head, and none of them ever get written. Which is why I just brain-vomit all over discussion threads, in hopes that someone else will write the fic instead. I keep meaning to write this Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess gender-bender fic that should be a ton of fun, but it keeps not happening. So I dunno if any of my dozen new Captain America plot bunnies are ever going to get penned by me personally. Including this one really weird one where Steve is with Bucky for a while during the war, and then when he wakes up in the present... well, it involves Steve/Tony and reincarnation, and I don't know how to make it not come out really really cheesy and forced-sounding and cloying, so that one isn't getting written for a different reason than the other ones.

(I don't like cheesecake unless it's chocolate, but I can see Steve being like "OMG cheesecake? I saw this in a bakery before, but I could never afford to get even one slice of it, and now you are buying a whole one just for me? *gleeful*" Also, the ability to get fresh produce out of season, generally from either a greenhouse or the other hemisphere, is amazing. Oranges in the winter are the best.)

Steve eating out of a tub of Hagen Daaz and Tony wondering if he's pregnant is hilarious. So funny! Then again, I'm also picturing Steve being like, "Well, one day I was like five four and a hundred pounds soaking wet, and only needed like fifteen hundred Calories a day to keep functioning, considering that my asthma was too bad to let me do much strenuous stuff anyways. And then, the next day, after the Super Soldier Serum, suddenly I'm a foot taller, roughly two hundred pounds mostly muscle, and had no idea how much fuel my body needed to keep running even before taking into account that the serum altered my metabolism from the baseline of a normal man of my new height and weight. I lost ten or fifteen pounds before the doctors figured out that I needed about three rations a day, and I have no idea how many Calories that is, to figure out how much I need to eat when not on military rations" and Tony is like "Fuuuuu-... Steve, how about I introduce you to Chinese takeout now? Somebody, preferably Pepper, please find me the nutritional information of a World War II ration!" (about 3300 Calories, fyi, of which three would be about 10000, about 4 times the 2500 that is often considered average for a typical civilian man, consistent with the "I can't get drunk because my metabolism is four times as fast as a normal person's" line - Steve could do the math in his head, obviously, but not if he didn't know what the docs were saying he needed four times the amount of to start with).

Also, that was very sweet of your first boyfriend. I'm afraid that tea definitely sounds like an acquired taste, all right. I like tea, including milk-tea (though my experience in that area basically runs to bubble tea made with milk tea, and English Breakfast tea with milk and sugar/honey), but salty tea just sounds scary to me. I'm hoping by the time Tony is actually in love, Steve will have caught on to Tony just eating the cheese to make him happy, and offer him something else instead or be like "you eat cheese fondue with me to make me happy, I'll eat sushi with you to make you happy, I can't get sick from raw fish anyways".
