The Kentucky Rebel

Unlike some holidays (*cough*AprilFools*cough*), Saint Patrick’s Day is one of those days when you ABSOLUTELY want to be around the Commandos, for it is a day of non stop shenanigans and partying.

There is usually a poll about how many times Dino will mention his “shillelagh stick” and then another on how many times he can mention it to Maria Hill without her punching him. 

Reb and Junior spend the whole day quoting Boondock Saints (and occasionally Bex and Bucky join in).

(Addition: If either Reb or Junior manage to mention the “motherfucking rope” more than 50 times within a certain period of time, Jack ties them with exactly that to some random pole in the city. The location of said pole is disclosed to no one.)

Jack sits in the corner, very much enjoying the flow of beer and being surprisingly pleasant. Because he can actually admit the Irish deserve a nice day and hey…at least they aren’t American.

While green may not be Manelli’s color (or at least he believes it isn’t so), he’s the first one to get his nails painted green by a flock of pretty girls at the bar. For there is a bar. There are lots of bars. Day drinking is totally a thing.

Dugan, in a move that is surprising to no one, goes all out. Decked head to toe and singing Irish drinking tunes at the top of his lungs.

Bex puts green streaks in her hair and attempts to do the same to her brother. She may also end up with things like gold lipstick and green sparkly nails.

And the whole days ends with a party at Dugan’s place where he makes his famous Guinness stew and the Captain and Bex bring over beer bread and everyone sees how many desserts they can find that have Baileys mixed into them. And there is food. So much food. And even more beer. And all the drinking songs.

Over the past few months, I have been growing increasingly disillusioned with the MCU and the way that Marvel seems to be bending the comics to match it. The lack of continuity is maddening (i.e. Bucky’s ever changing birthdate/backstory and the differences between the Agent Carter one shot and the series) as is their metaphorically spitting in the face of many of the things I love about the universe and its stories.
