“Texts from Avengers Tower”
By Phoebe Roberts

Summary: “There are a lot of great things about being on a close-knit team like the Avengers. The group text chains aren’t one of them.

The short video versions of the collection of funny conversations in text messages between the cast of the MCU.”

62. - “Househusband”

The TVA, ∞

MOBIUS
You know something that’s been bugging me?
Remember that supersoldier that jumped to a branch of the 1940’s?
Why did we never deal with that?

RAVONNA
Do you mean 616 Steve Rogers?
The Time-Keepers told us to stand down on that one

MOBIUS
Really? Why?

RAVONNA
Turns out he returned a bunch of the 616 Infinity Stones to their proper place in the timeline
Prevented a bunch of deviations all on his own that way
So I guess he was a net good

MOBIUS
But he made the new branch AFTER he prevented all the other ones.
Why did he go back? Was he trying to change or avert something?

RAVONNA
No, actually
I got curious and looked into it
Apparently it was just to get married and become a stay at home dad

MOBIUS
Aw, really?
That’s actually sort of sweet.

RAVONNA
Yeah
And between you and me, we got bigger problems than one midcentury househusband

MOBIUS
You ain’t kidding.
We’d have a lot less to deal with if the Lokis would shack up, pop out some mini-clone kids, and bake self-absorbed cookies for the rest of eternity.

Hehe!

I -think- that they've finally settled with settling-Steve not being a branch, but instead being the secret main timeline (which would fall into the TVA "oh that? It's always been like that" dodge). Of course, the TVA could be secretly editing its "always been like that" history because He Who Waits only really cares about two things (and one of them is not destroying humanity). And that would make Agent Carter a branch if one allows it to be canon at all.

... I should really see What If. I hadn't realized that parts of it (all of it, in the multiverse?) were canon.

I think a lot of things put forward by the TVA weren’t necessarily true, so it’s hard to say. :-)

Yeah, a lot of contradictions (likely both in fanfic and in canon) can be covered by "well, the TVA lied a lot".
