Bald eagles and explosions everywhere, must be July 4th

in honor of the United States of America's Independence Day, I suggest that everyone celebrate by repeated viewings of "Freedom Ride," an extremely serious and important Captain America fanvid about Steve Rogers, fandom bicycle.

(Here it is on AO3 if you want to comment to the vidder.)

This is the most patriotic thing I've ever seen.  America, fuck yeah!  ;)

Alternatively, I suppose you could stick to celebrating the actual history of how America's founding fathers talked about liberty a lot while still perpetuating the oppression of everyone who wasn't a white dude considered the difficult question of whether to declare independence from Britain and/or open up a window to cope with the heat...all while breaking into song.

Ah, 1776. How fortunate that some clerk made note of the actual melodies sung during debate in the Continental Congress so this historically accurate reenactment could be made.

FUCK YEAH CAPTAIN *is suddenly 1000% more patriotic while not even an American herself* ;D

Steve Rogers makes everybody feel patriotic...in their pants.

There is probably a 'stand up and salute' joke to be made here.

So there is. ;)

Everybody wants Steve. It helps that Chris Evans could apparently generate chemistry with a brick wall . . .

So I googled "Chris Evans wall gif" to see what happened:



Your premise appears to be correct. :D

Happy 4th of July! Hope you're having a fun day :)

My Adobe Flash player plugin has been having issues and repeatedly giving me error messages when I tried to upload it and now I can't see any videos at all :( I should finally google for a solution, but it's late and I'm tired. Heh.

Sorry your computer is giving you problems! That sounds super frustrating. Do youtube videos work if they're on youtube itself rather than embeds, or is the problem everywhere? I could send you youtube links if it's only embedded videos that fail.
