Anyone with a name that starts with a “Z”, ends with an “i”, and isn’t some kind of Italian pasta, IS SERIOUS

For Bucky he’s got major PTSD, survivors guilt, possible depression, and anxiety. He is sad and unstable because of the trigger words, that are now gone, but it doesn’t mean he can’t be a good Captain America.

And yet, the Russo’s feel like it’s a thing to make fun of or saying this person/character is ‘too damaged’ to take up the mantel of an important superhero.

It’s just not true, just because your damaged or broken, or have many different disabilities doesn’t mean your fight isn’t over, you just have to fight harder then everyone else to prove to them you can do it.

Queen of Shadows Chapter 28 from Rowan’s Point of View

Rowan snuck off the ship and onto the docks of Rifthold with barely the finesse of a rookie spy. He was tired from two weeks crouched in the bowels of the boat with very little to eat and weak from the retching that accompanied his magic being ripped from him. Unfortunately—or fortunately—the spell that stifled his powers did very little nothing to hinder his Fae senses. And Rowan smelled just as bad as the filthy streets of Adarlan’s capital.

He didn’t dare ask for directions to the slum districts. In his black cloak with his immense size, he was already an imposing figure prowling the alleys, he didn’t need any extra attention on him. Or any curious followers for that matter. Because he was going to find his queen, and he’d be damned if he led any unsavory creatures to her.

The reek of piss and refuse made his eyes water and, Rowan realized with a start, some of it was coming from him. He had half a thought to douse himself with the water in a nearby trough or slip an innkeeper a copper to use her washroom. No, too many people would notice him, get a good look at his face, perhaps notice the pointed ears beneath the dark cloak. No, Aelin would just have to deal with his scent. Gods know he dealt with hers.
