This is true. I am bad at not feeling awkward talking at people but. Yeah.
This is so, so true but it's never in fic. In pre-serum fic they never really bring up the hard-of-hearing bit and even the angry bit tends to be seriously downplayed. And in modern AUs? Well, half of them are "and he was a scrawny kid but then he grew up nice" which is apparently our MCU AU version of "Hermione had filled out over the summer". Of the half that involve tiny, scrawny Steve, only half have him angry, or sick when it isn't mild and cute and convenient for H/C fluff, and there's less than 20 things tagged with Deaf or HoH Steve on Ao3, which is not a perfect measure, but STILL SAYS SOMETHING.
... Wow, that was a rant. Hi. I've been marathon reading modern MCU AUs on my phone, cause I don't have the head to read book and screw it, it's decent breaktime/lunchtime distraction. But this kind of annoys me. I'm so sorry. XD
