Where did the term “team freeloader” come from/why are they called that?

the term “team freeloader” came from my own bitter post-cacw heart and they are called that because 

in detail, they’re called that because of a) staying at tony’s and eating all his food and leaving coffee grounds in the garbage disposal because he is Running A Bed And Breakfast for a biker gang and having him build them stuff and clean up their pr issues and make deals on their behalf,,while showing zero fondness or gratitude or respect whatsoever and giving nothing in return and expecting a Ton from him. and then they left the second shit got real and blamed it on him

This film has aged me several years b/c of The Discourse i s2g. also lol one of the posts the person linked actually used the “tony doesn’t understand the difference between friendship and pleasant working relationships” angle

ie. ‘I don’t want to deal with the ugly implications of Steve appearing to be willing to live on Tony’s dime while calling him a friend and then seeming to disavow that when it’s inconvenient, so I’m going to explain how the real problem is that Tony just doesn’t get/deserve real friendship, so it’s all okay,’ and if I’m a reaaaaaal asshole, laugh about it because character hate does fascinating things to empathy. 

what is it :o

Known Associates, by thingswithwings. It is not Stony, sorry. Steve/a bunch of people (OCs and Bucky and apparently Sam at some point), but so far it appears to feature Steve being a Plucky Queer Activist growing up which I have a total weakness for.

J. Are you insecure? What about?: 

Oh my god yes. My appearance, my weight, my professional life, my work ethic, whether I’m a good friend to my people, whether I bring more good things to the people around me than bad things, whether people like or respect me. You name it. I am probably insecure about it. 

N. Favorite animal?:

Okay, on a daily basis probably cats, large and small. I know it’s boring, but there it is. I am also critically weak to red pandas. 

T. 3 things you love unconditionally:

Sun on the ocean--really almost everything about being on a beach or shore or in the shoals. the sound, smells, light, the foam that gets tossed about. 

ice cream-even weird or terrible ice cream is an adventure

it also doesn’t make sense why tony didn’t know from the Hydra files…? b/c zola said “accessing archives” which means there is an electronic copy of it…like ur not gonna tell me tony wasn’t searching winter soldier shit in those files when he knows steve is looking for him or that zemo is better at hacking encryptions than tony motherfucking stark

i think it makes perfect sense tony wouldnt know.

zemo literally spends a YEAR decrypting  HYDRA files and EVEN THEN, he has to go to fucking SIBERA to get the hard copies for the dec 16 1991 report & video. its obv not in the main digital database.

plus zola’s “accessing archives” shows...a newspaper clipping of howard and marias death. not a HYDRA report listing a hit. and then the “archives” of zolas brain is blown kingdom to come, its also established that zolas brain room is off the main grid in TWS so any info in the basement wouldnt be part of the HYDRA info dump nat did

and tony never gives any indication he’s helping steve find bucky, its likely steve doesnt ask tony at all, the only people involved in the bucky hunt explicitly is Sam. 

yeah! i’m glad i know now too :) good luck <3 my friend from shenzhen said she remembers eating them but may be confusing it with beijing? but there’s hope!

dude apparently some couple opened a jianbing stand in NYC for $8 a pop wtf holy

i think i found it! according to this it’s called jianbing seriouseats.com/2015/08… can u see this site through the great firewall lol

YES, THAT’S IT.  There are no lies in that article.  Like, why settle for baozi when you have one of those right down the street.  I must find them again.  I know they exist in Shenzhen, they must.  XD
