AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WE DESERVED ALPINE IN TFATWS MAN THE FUCK UP SEBASTIAN TAKE AN ALLEGRA AND BUST THAT PUSSY OUT
Bad night?... Alpine to the rescue! :)
Me: *pauses tfatws*
Disney+: Somebody say ✨color scheme✨?
So last night I had this dream where I was looking at a gif set of Steve and Bucky kissing as Steve died, and it was super sweet and dream-me was all like “Awww, I’m glad that they at least made it canon before he died.” And then I woke up all happy that Stucky was canon. And then this hide wave of sadness hit me when I remembered that it’s not. That wasn’t real. That didn’t happen. It was just a dream. Endgame didn’t end with Tony getting to watch his daughter grow up, obviously. And Steve didn’t take the gauntlet from T’Challa and do the snap. And in Steve’s dying moments his century-long relationship with his one true love wasn’t confirmed with a kiss. No, it ended with him leaving Bucky and then not even giving him a glance while talking to Sam about how he ditched them for a girl in the forties. So yes, Erica, one COULD say that I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning
What are your otps/top ships?
i love this question ty!!

solangelo (i was a percy jackson kid if you can’t tell)
nancy x robin in stranger things (idgaf it is real to me)
that’s all that i can think of rn
I love Sam and Bucky’s friendship so much, and I can totally see them both walking together or doing something on a hot day and Bucky just, keeps positioning his metal arm in a way that the sun keeps hitting Sam in the eye over and over. Or he waits until Sam doing something important and then does it.
SEBASTIAN STAN as James "Bucky" Barnes THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER | 2021
so you’re telling me, that the new captain america showed up juuust in time to help bucky and sam from the “evil foreign super soldiers”??
nah, that was planned. the american government probably experimented on the freedom fighters to perfect the super serum for john walker and orchestrated everything so that the “new captain america” could save two already established heroes and hype him up
this is all just a big propaganda scheme created by the american government. you can’t fool me i’ve watched the boys
ok but are you gonna sit there and tell me you didn’t burst out laughing when torres just like. sent sam a selfie
Sam: That little girl is a child. I don't wanna see you sniffing anymore. Do you understand?
John:*freaked out*
Sam: Boy have you lost your mind? Cause I'll help you find it.
Bucky*proud husband*: What are you looking for? No one is coming to help you out there.
Sam: Jesus can come through that door, he's not going to help you. If you don't stop sniffing after my child.
John Walker after giving the shield.
John:I'm a victim of a hate crime.
Judge:That's not what a hate crime is.
John:Well I hate it. A lot. OK?
Judge: You killed a man, John. What the fuck are you saying...

Just so you know, in the og the papers color was blue and the pen i was using was pink
Bucky : I'm wearing sunglasses, so no one knows what I'm looking at

The first thing I saw was the Winter Falcon ship.
And then this.....
I'm sorry....
Sam: don't flirt with my sister
Bucky:
Bucky: ok i will flirt with you then
The Loki, Winter Soldier and Doctor Strange fandoms right now:
There is something inherently gay about Captain America/Carter in the Cinematic Universe as every version of them always has a “Very Close partner of the same gender but it isn’t gay” thing going on
quick late night but also always at the back of my head thought. do you think that bucky just can't help but like be a little gay for captain america. like obviously steve duh but then sam as well, like he got those heart eyes. and then I think about how much he hates john walker, and im like... maybe he knew he wasn't the right fit to be cap because he simply wasn't his type. now, logically, do i know this isn't the truth? yes. but do i like making things as gay as possible? also, yes. i think bucky's just into men with big hearts and the urge to do the right thing✋️😗 sue me!
sobbing, crying, throwing up. i'm so happy for them😫 i hope this encourages more people to go watch a different man
Them
oh man i could go on about how the song "hurt" by nine inch nails is a song that perfectly represents bucky and to a lesser extent bucky and steve's relationship, but i won't,,
SIKE
the entire opening of the song just perfectly encapsulates how bucky would feel after he pulled steve from the potomac and spent 2 years on the run. we know that bucky was controlled not only by manipulation and the wipes but also with physical (and implied sexual) assault. we we see pierce slap him when he doesn't comply, which doesn't faze anybody, meaning it's completely normalised. rumlow also says this to sam:
"there are no prisoners with HYDRA. just orders. and orders only come through pain."
the clever trick in this line is that at surface level we think rumlow is referring to the fact that sam would never be kept prisoner, he would just be immediately killed. however it's clear upon inspection this line is a direct reference to the winter soldier: he's not seen as a prisoner as he follows HYDRA'S orders, and he complies through means such as pain (i.e torture to make him subservient). this makes the meaning of the line "the old familiar sting" to be that he finds familiarity (and possibility stability, which brings comfort to his changing world) in pain.
"i hurt myself today, to see if i still feel. i focus on the pain, the only thing that's real." it's very possible that whilst on the run, bucky was paranoid that this was all a dream and that he'd wake up back in hydra's biddings, therefore he used methods of self harm to make sure it was real, to ground himself. additionally, by condensing pain as the only real thing in his world, for a brief period of time whilst self harming he allows himself to effectively block or repress all of the thoughts haunting him.
"try to kill it all away, but i remember everything." this demonstrates bucky's memory slowly coming back without the wipes, shown through him writing in all of the those journals in civil war. he has memories of his assassinations, so he views himself as killing all his memories when he's having a nightmare or flashback, as that's literally what he's doing: murdering another memory of a person. but unfortunately, he can't stop himself from remembering, no matter how much he tries.
"what have i become?" bucky is haunted by all of the horrible things he's done and the fact that he has completely changed, he does not recognize himself, it has been 70 YEARS - he spent nearly 30 years as james buvhanan barnes and fucking 70 as the winter soldier, double that of his original life. if you go back to tfa and then watch tfatws, you realize just how much he's changed (and i'm saying this as somebody who thinks his trauma was toned down). he's just fundamentally not the same person.
"my sweetest friend, everyone i know, goes away in the end." god hate talking about endgame steve and he doesn't exist in my mind but this shows exactly how bucky would feel when steve left, his sweetest, dearest friend has gone. everyone who he knew is now dead, or has left. he also probably believes that it is his fault that steve left, as he wasn't good enough to make steve stay because he wasn't the "real" original bucky. he refuses to form emotional connections with other people because he believes he will destroy everything and everybody will leave him due to the horrors he's done, which is why he's so distant to sam at the beginning of tfatws and near completely isolated.
this one's interesting as you could interpret it completely as steve's thoughts towards bucky.
"full of broken thoughts, i cannot repair." steve knows that bucky has been traumatised severely and that steve cannot simply fix it all, he cannot fix all of the things that hydra put into bucky's head that go far beyond just the activation words. this can be seen as him saying this through a thick lense of guilt, he feels ashamed of the fact that he is not good enough to repair bucky's "broken" brain and that bucky is irreversibly changed by what has been done to him.
"beneath the stains of time, the feelings disappear." this one is very interesting as you can view this as steve believing that due to the simple passage of time of 70 years alone, bucky's feelings towards steve have been reduced to nothing as bucky no longer remembers steve, he's just a footnote in his life. (and he's wrong because steve was bucky's lifeline). steve sees time as a "stain" for bucky because bucky's whole existence during hydra was negative, as well as the fact that whilst steve was napping on ice, bucky was getting tortured which makes steve feel immensely guilty. (not looking at YOU, endgame steve!)
"you are someone else, i am still right here." this obviously portrays steve's outlook on how they have changed. bucky has been completely changed, he lived through those years, he was concious and suffered unspeakable damage, steve went into the ice and immediately woke up as the exact same man with the memories of 1940 fresh on his mind as being a day ago. for bucky, even with his memories back, 1940 may be foggy to him simply because it was so. fucking. long ago for him and he had so many other haunting memories afterwards. i also think this line is steve showing his unyielding, unrelenting stubbornness towards bucky: no matter what, no matter the absolute worst case scenario, steve is still there for bucky. he's still here for him despite the fact that bucky has changed.
i believe these final line of the song portray how bucky feels about his life: if he could start it all over again, he would do everything in his power to not become the winter soldier as he knows he lost so much of himself and was shattered into pieces. the idea of "starting again" could also imply if bucky was able to start from the very start of the winter soldier days, he would immediately find a way to kill himself so that he didn't lose himself, as he believes his death would've been better than the subsequent life he lived. we already know that bucky was suicidal and the only thing that kept him going in romania was steve - imagine how he felt when he was a captured pow in 1940's and was told captain america died. it's completely believable he tried to attempt suicide somewhere in the early days of his capture, and he wishes looking back that he had succeeded by "finding a way" in order to keep himself.
of course, much simpler, this could be bucky reminiscing on life BEFORE the war even, as he already started murdering people during the war and was experimented on at krausburg, both of which would've affected him deeply. bucky envisions a life where, from the very beginning, he didn't have to suffer through what ultimately lead to him falling off that train, a fantasy life where everything was okay forever.
