Sometimes I think about the fact that Steve Rogers was actually so fucking young in Avengers 1 and cry 

Like this kid had already been involved in one of the bloodiest wars in human history. He’d watched his best friend fall to his death. He’d died for his country before the age of what, 25? 26? And then someone drags him out of the ice and hands him a blanket and pushes him back into SHIELD’s waiting arms, back to fight another war, another battle, because to him they must just never end. Seventy Years passed and nothing has changed. He’s still being told to die. And I think a lot of people just don’t realise this, but he’s still in his mid-twenties. He’s leading a team of people he doesn’t know in a world that is completely foreign to him and it’s only been five years since he was in his teens. 

Steve Rogers is so old that he forgets that he’s actually really, really fucking young. I don’t think, even once in his entire life, he has ever been able to act his own age.
