this is mine

So I tell Jane to bring her boy over to a bbq I'm having and she can tell him she's trans at my place surrounded by queer and trans people who love her and will support her if he ends up being awful.

She waits till the end of the bbq to tell him the news, by which point the rest of us have learned that Jason is a kind, friendly, empathetic, hard working, dummy. So we sit down, all of us a little worried about this gym bro's reaction when she tells him she's trans, and that she understands if he doesn't want to keep dating her it's no big deal.

He's baffled, so we explain what trans is, and after the disclosure that she hasn't had bottom surgery yet...

"Oh you have a dick?"

"... yeah."

He look's around at the room full of people with baited breath, his clearly a little afraid girl friend says

"Oooohhhh! I get it! You think- don't worry Babe! Watch this!"

And ya'll this man jumps up, runs into the kitchen and returns with one of the bratwurst we had for grilling and proceeds to tilt his head back, put it down his throat, hold it in his mouth for a moment, and spit it up without even a whisper of a gag and then looks around at the group absolutely beaming with pride.

"Honey, I must tell you, i am in fact trans and I have not had bottom surgery."

What we watched: The Bygone.

Who we watched it for: Shawn Hatosy.

What we thought: Not every man can pull off villainous facial hair. Shawn Hatosy is among them.

Also, there is a touch of whimsy left in during editing just to break the tension a little bit. Just enjoy it. Let it happen.

He is in the body of a traditional hunk, but the man himself deeply longs to play skittering freaks. He is an incredibly weird guy, he has weird fucked up goth interests, he wants to be a character actor who plays twisted up grody little grease stains but is forced by society to play smouldering hunks. Much like Chris Pine who similarly wants to do that.

In his spirit he has the capacity to be a tumblr sexyman, or even a skinny white guy whose actually genuinely too evil perverse and offputting for this website to turn into a sexyman. But his body will not let him.

He's incredibly competent in this movie, using all his old knowledge and new (mostly practical) to his advantage. Want to surprise him in the elevator? No, bitch, you can't, because your army boots with your suit will sow seeds of doubt. Want to hide a Nazi bunker? Steve knows military etiquette better than you.

He rocks. HE DESTROYED JET WITH ONLY HIS SHIELD. He's a one-man army that works perfectly in a team.

He's adapted to the modern world and ready to move on. He's not hysterically clinging to the past. He makes new friends (Sam) and considers potential relationships on his own ("Kate").

He's not afraid to speak up and to tell someone off, he stands his ground, he's SASSY.
