“In the past,” explained the Keeper, “it was believed to be good luck to seal your deepest fear inside a block of ice, so that the cold would be contained within its own kind.”
“But what happened,” asked the spellmaker, “if the ice melted?”
“That’s why they stopped doing it,” said the Keeper.
“Despite how open, peaceful, and loving you attempt to be, people can only meet you as deeply as they’ve met themselves.”

blog goals: making someone feel a little less sad
SUMMER!
[insp.]
Steve’s ‘dark side’ in Ultron was his sadness about his inability to go home. This makes me so sad. (x)
My favorite take on this was when I read someone describe it is, “Steve’s greatest fear is his own PTSD” and inability to ever truly leave the war behind him, which is why this entire scene is mixed with so much war imagery and parallels. Then we remember what Ultron had also said to him: “Captain America: God’s righteous man… pretending you can live without a war.” Oww. Oww.
I don’t even think it’s that he’s afraid of his PTSD, I think he’s afraid that the only time he ever felt happy or useful was when he was Captain America–when he was at war. Steve is afraid he doesn’t know how to exist if there’s nothing to fight. He’s afraid that even if he COULD go home with Peggy, he’d be unhappy and unfulfilled.
Which is probably why he avoids actually discussing protective options for the Earth with Tony–if everyone is safe, he’s no longer of use and he has no reason to exist. He goes back to being that useless kid from Brooklyn.
this hurts
