Chatter post

For all your discussion needs.

Ground rules:
- Try to keep it loosely trash party related, or at least Cap fandom related.
- Disagreement is fine, nastiness is not.
- Being offended is not carte blanche for nastiness.
- Trashmeme ground rules apply. Read at your own risk, no romanticizing your noncon garbage, no wank about the moral acceptability of noncon kink.
- Body shots, sniper shots, and tetanus shots are all available at the open bar. Party like it's 2014, kids.

Exactly. I don't even find superbad!Rumlow or superbad!anyone all that trashy for my tastes to be honest. That extra layer is what gives me life, to the point where sometimes I'm right there, reading, and wishing for them to, like, make out sweetly in front of a fireplace with all that moral baggage and then I'm like, WHAT HAVE I BECOME.

B&W can be fun, but it risks being always the same level of fun, while morally ambiguous characters give life to any kind of reading.

AND BTW, your Rumlow and the rookies give me life in that fic, because Rumlow is exactly like I imagine him to be: professional and efficient, and never pushing too much, but at the same time he clearly is part of something that is morally so wrong. In the movie I just adored Frank Grillo and the way he could look so cool and professional while staying on the 'wrong side', it's very realistic in fact.
