OH MY GOD, you're a dear, THANK YOU. That are some awesome birthday wishes!

You're welcome! I can't take credit for the graphics, though. I found the picture on a party supply website somewhere, so I think it's official merchandise of some kind. I should probably see if I can find the real thing for my best friend's birthday.

I'm just so stoked that you thought to give me my own personal birthday post, is all. Also, you NEED to read that Cap fic where a bunch of brilliant nerd fangirls got together and designed a FILMOGRAPHY FOR CAPTAIN AMERICA AS A NATIONAL ICON in those 70 years everyone thought he was dead. It's got grenades in undies and dinosaurs and French Indie cinema. IT'S GLORIOUS (You'll find it in my AO3 bookmarks, sorry I just read and had to share the awesome with somebody.)

I tried it, but the writing style turned out to not be my thing. Bummer. As far as Steve Rogers and movies go, my favorites are:

Cinematic (http://archiveofourown.org/works/498374) by 51stCenturyFox

and

Film Studies, or, Four Films About Captain America and One By Him (http://archiveofourown.org/works/431347/chapters/729463) by Copperbadge

Awwwwwww, well, it's actually a collab by five different authors or so, so the others are quite different from the first stretch if you ever wanna give it another go round.

But I'm DEFINITELY grabbing those other ones. Steve dealing with his literary and cinematic footprint is a craving I never even knew I had. LOL.

My favorite Captain America tropes right now are Steve appearing in films and Steve interacting with normal people who have no idea he's Captain America until he's accidentally outed. I love their reactions.
