#-us? us that are okay should talk and joke. cuz then that creates Conversation n it prevents cretins out there who think all that suffering

[spotsupstuff]

i'm glad you enjoyed brandon F

little note about the uniform thing, the reason why he drags on a bit on that is cause he's a reenactor, 18th century uniforms are his insane obsession. he even jokes about it in the video i sent, saying "i'm finally back to my insufferable self!" when talking about the muskets

i don't blame him tbh, after watching his content for a while i had the realization that 18th century isn't like the romans, whose equipment we deduce through archeology, old sources and guess work.

like, the actual documents that standardized 18th century uniforms still exist and are not hard to access, i realized that after Brandon noted that his source was the fucking British Royal Library in London. ( i mean ffs there's literally photos of Napoleonic era vets heres a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npSru7xEzX8)

and i honestly think its relevant, because if a million dollar historical production didn't want to put in the effort to go to a library and get the official documents. then what else they weren't bothered to get right?

but Brandon doesn't just do historical reviews he also talks a lot about the history in general. like, why fight in lines? what were marines in the 18th century? the history of tactics. and what role did cavalry play in line warfare? for example

heavens bless people of utube that manage to get hyperfixated on one topic for basically their entire life and then proceed to make stuff about it for us to watch, right? it's a delight to listen to someone who actually enjoys the subject and their subject therefore basically guarantees the authencity of what they put out

oooh but yes, the concept itself of what we actually get to know about things in what manner is fascinating in on itself. so since i was small i had been very fascinated by chinese mythology and mythology somewhat comes along with other parts of the culture and so on. and you know how the chinese culture is one of the oldest in the world?

as a result i've somewhat grown accustomed to the numbers that are typical to the span of chinese history and now whenever i go look into the history of my own country i'm actually stumped over how recently certain things happened! then again you wouldn't believe how oppressed or manipulated slovaks had been across history. ain't that right -glares at hungary-

to what extent we know which culture's history is so wild. the ability for certain historical things to simply last is absolutely incredible (such as military uniform documents or musical pieces of 18th century). fun fact! there's still messages written in stone by the soldiers of the roman empire on slovakia's territory. right near Danube, i think, p sure i visited that

thank fuck for reliable sourcing and also thank u for that vid that's gon come in handy for clothing references at Some point, i can feel it

and you are absolutely correct, yes! it Is relevant! as mister Brandon has said, there's of course a certain leeway allowed when it comes to more kid oriented stuff, but i'll admit! i was surprised to learn that serious historical productions apparently put less effort into these kind of things than the sea beast did (i don't usually watch those kind of things, i'm very fantasy/sci-fi and cartoon focused)

this kind of muddling of history that may seem "insignificant" to money grabbing bastards really screws up the perception of the eras for people who don't really have the time or the drive to look into things themselves. it's annoying

oh while we are on this history stuff, i saw this originally in utube shorts, but Apparently they are making a netflix movie or smth about Cleopatra and they made her black?? which is weird, considering that Cleopatra was greek and all that stuff. like don't get me wrong, yes give silenced/less known cultures like black folk more space to present themselves and who they are but like don't do it in a way that heavily skews the history? why are you going out of your way to create misinformation that could heavily impact understanding of history by taking out an already famous (not poc) person instead of Actually making the space for historically important black people. like maybe why not make a movie about that one super rich king from the southwestern coast of Africa (i think) that crashed the egyptian economy twice by being just too damn generous. that would be SO much more helpful to black peeps' history than shoving a black person into the place of a white one

i swear films nowadays either lack soul, heart, spine or brain like 98% of time

Oops, I think I pissed off a Batboy.

Hey guys! I noticed people liked it when I do Batboy imagines so I will try to make more batboy related stuff. If you have ideas on what want for these kind of imagines, please tell me. Anyways, enjoy!

Bruce: He would be the kinda guy who would be a little confused and wonder why you are ignoring him. He will notice if you are ignoring him after a couple of hours. First reaction will be him joking round with you, thinking that it is fake.  He will be kinda insulting without meaning to, which makes things worse. This is usually because he is sleep deprived because of his night job and day job. The conversation will usually go like this.

“Babe…..Babe?”

“What!?”

“whats your problem?”  *nervous chuckle*

*scoff* “you know what. You’re my problem!” *angrily storms out the room*

*confused puppy dog face*

When it comes to redeeming himself he will first give you time to cool off because he know he shouldn’t exactly jump into this problem without a “contingency plan”. His first approach will be giving you chocolates and flowers or any other expensive gift he can think of. He would first figure out what he did wrong by asking Alfred and his boys, then he’ll approach the situation accordingly.

“Hey, (Y/N).”

“Now what do you want?”

“I understand why your mad at me now and you totally have the right to be mad at me. I apologize”. He slowly approaches you.

“I forgive you.”

“Phew, but to be honest you didn’t have to be that mean…”

“I take it back. I hate you”

“NO, No. Sorry, sorry. You are completely right.”

Things that trigger him are sparse but he will get angry if you don’t follow the simple rules he has set for you both. For example he doesn’t like it when you go anywhere without telling him. Especially if you are going out late a night wearing something skimpy. He also doesn’t like it when you go out with any guys, alone. Its because he knows its going to be plastered on all the tabloids, “BRUCE WAYNE’S S/O IS CHEATING ON HIM?” Or “WAS BRUCE WAYNE’S RELATIONSHIP A PUBLICITY STUNT?”. The first time this happened, almost all the tabloid magazines were being sued.

Dick: You’d probably get mad at him for the small things he does. It’ll first be, not washing the dishes, and then not putting his dirty clothes in the basket, and boy he does not to them cuz he is one messy person. All these small things will keep building up and then he does one thing that triggers your madness. When you start ranting about his incompetence, his face will be neutral but on the inside he is trying not to laugh. But he will try his hardest to make everything better. He won’t give you any space and keep bombarding you with his love and affection. It’ll be kinda pissy tho, but cute at the same time.

“Hey sweetheart, how was your day?”

“It was gre- are the dishes still in the sink? Even after I told you for the 15th time?”

“Oh, umm….. Yes?” *nervous smile*

“Ughhh, you imbecile. How many times do I have to tell you….”, you keep ranting.

*trying his hardest not to burst out laughing*

As I said before, he would immediately start apologizing and try to get you to calm down. He will hug you and kiss you, but you still would be so mad that you push him off and go to your shared room, locking it. He’ll try to make you open the door with his humor and over dramatics. After he has knocked on the door for the fifth time, you will let him come in and he will try to talk it out with you.

“(Y/N), can you please let me in, so we can talk about it?”

“Go. Away.”

“Fine, I shall go. But who will keep you warm in the winter” *over exaggerated sigh*

“GO”. He starts walking away. “ wait no, come back”

*winks* “i win” he will whisper.

There are various amount of things that will make him angry and pissed at you. Let me roll out my list, ah em. Since he is jealous boy, he does not like it if you don’t spend enough time with him, if you go out to a party without him, if you don’t tell him where you are at all times and last but not least he hates it if you hang out with any of his brothers, cuz they all smooth talkers.

Jason: He would notice right away if your mad at him. This is because he is usually used to hearing you talking a lot. He will immediately go over anything that he might of done wrong. He will hate it so much if you don’t talk to him and aren’t receptive to him. This is because you guys don’t have enough time with each other, with you at work in the day and him doing work in the night. He will get riled up and start a fight, demanding why you are mad at him.

“Doll, I need to go out for patrol now,”

“Whatever, it’s not like we have only spent 10 minutes together today”

“DO you seriously need to start a fight about this now?”

After he has had some time to think about it, he will feel horrible for having a fight with you. He will ditch patrol, just so he can spend the rest of the night with you. He would usually find you sleeping on the couch because you were waiting up for him. He will smile and pick you up to put you in bed. After changing he will get in bed with you and cuddle. This is when you usually wake up. The rest of the night will be spent cuddling, talking and maybe even some other things, if you know what I mean.

“You’re back early”

“I had time to think about it, and I would rather spend the night with you”

“Ugh, I am so selfish. You should be out saving the world”

“Don’t change your mind now, doll”

When this dude gets mad, oh ho ho, he gets super duper mad and depending on the situation he might even get a little jealous. He hates it if you lie to him, it could even be a little white lie, he will still get really pissed. Like if someone was hitting on you and you don’t want to tell him because you know he will go over board. He hates it, and he will figure it out half the time. If you were to flirt with any of his brothers he will take you straight home and be silent the whole trip. You know he will be punishing you when you get home. *wink* *wink*.

“Look Jay, I know I shouldn’t of said that to Dick, can you please forgive me?”

*grunt* “I will only accept your apology once you are on your knees, begging for me to”

*Gulp*

Tim: This boy is always distracted all the time he won’t realize you are ignoring him, right away. But once he does realize he will be sad and wary. He wouldn’t exactly know how to approach the situation. You’ll probably get angry at him for not giving you attention. He won’t purposefully do it, but he is always distracted with his work that he won’t be receptive to what your saying to him.

“Hey Tim, do you want to go see this movie?”

“…..Okay”

“Are you even listening to me?”

“Yup, gimme a second babe”

*sigh*

Around the time you have come to forgive him, he will be the one who bangs down the door and telling his well rehearsed apology. The first time it happened you were very confused and didn’t know how to react. He was legit on his knees with his hands pressed together and head bent down in shame. He became super dramatic and exaggerated what he did wrong.

“(Y/N), would you please forgive me, I was being so stupid not giving you attention and love”

“Its alri-“

“No, I was such a douche towards you and I don’t deserve you, oh please, I knew you may never forgive me for what I have done”

He would keep apologizing and wouldn’t let you speak. So the only way to shut him up is to give him a big kiss.

“I’m so sorry, so sorr-“ *cue the big kiss*

“ I forgive you.”

“Oh, um, thank god”

He rarely gets mad at you and would never get annoyed with you. So when he does, it is kind of weird. He is a cinnamon roll, so his kind of angry includes stuttering and ignoring. He hates it if you flirt with anyone. So whenever that happens he will get angry and try to talk to you about it. But remember he gets angry, VERY rarely.

Damian: Very rarely did you get angry at him, but sometimes when you did it was usually his fault. He would usually be the one to create a fight between you two, leaving you angry at him. This fight would usually be about something stupid, like the pronunciation of a word or an answer to a random trivia question. The thing is, his stubborn ass would never admit you had a reason to get angry at him. Whenever you got mad at him he would equally get pissed and you both would spend a long time ignoring each other.

“Dami, the longest river in the world is the Amazon river.”

“(Y/N), Oh God. Its not. The answer is the Nile.”

“Don’t fight me on this, I know that the answer is the Amazon. I am right.”

“Wow, you seriously are full of yourself”

After a long time of you both bickering he would search up the answer on google only to find out that he was wrong. Then he starts fighting you, saying that google is wrong and is not a reliable source. You give out a long exasperated sigh and just start ignoring him. When he does realize he’s wrong, he will try to get you back with a lot of expensive gifts. But he will never admit he is wrong.

“Babe, I got you a new purse, a new pair of shoes and a diamond necklace”

“I don’t want your gifts, all I want is for you to admit that you were wrong”

“Not happening, sooo do you want the gifts or not?”

“You’re so stubborn, I can’t believe you” You start walking away.

“What the fuck am I gonna do with these? Maybe Grayson would be interested”

He gets annoyed with you for a variety of things. But the usual would be you going out late, teasing him in public etc. Over time he has come to trust you to be careful when you go out, he has taught you many self defense techniques because he does not want anything happening to his beloved.

“Coffee and Brooklyn” Part 2

Summary: Bucky and Y/N’s friendship is slowly graduating from hot dogs and Cokes, to dimly lit restaurant dinners and cuddle sessions at her brownstone. One thing caused concern for Y/N, she hasn’t met the team. It was time to have a lengthy conversation with her beau about this. She didn’t want to feel he was ashamed to introduce her to everyone because of the color of her skin.

 Words: 1,626

 Warnings: Swearing & Racial Conversations

 Pairing: Bucky x Black Reader

 A/N: I’m overwhelmed and grateful for the kind and encouraging feedback. Thank you for reading the story. I had so much fun writing both parts. I don’t wanna push the envelope and do another part, but I’d love to delve deeper into their relationship. Sprinkle it with a little angst.  Anywho, love y’all and thanks again for reading.

A special “thank you” to @omalleysgirl22 and @vvintersouldier, my remarkable betas.

________________________________________________________________

 At the worst possible moment, Mother Nature decided to throw a temper tantrum. Blinding rain, vivid lightning, and roaring thunder. Y/N and Bucky wanted to check out “Dinner and a Movie.,” a new theater offering delicious delicacies; hot wings, sub sandwiches and ice cold beer, all while enjoying a movie in reclining chairs. But much to their dismay, the weather didn’t cooperate.

 Instead, Y/N opted for homemade Jamaican cuisine for Bucky. He absolutely loved her cooking. She introduced his palette to Southern, Indian and Jamaican fare. And the cherry on top, her cakes and pies rivaled those created by world class bakers. Bucky almost ate a whole chocolate cake! Of course, he’d have to train harder to work off the calories!

 After dinner, Bucky cleaned the kitchen. It was the least he could do after such a delectable meal. But, he felt something was off with his best girl.

 Y/N knew Bucky lived at Stark Tower but he’d never invited her to meet everyone else. Truth be told, he wanted to but his nerves got the better of him. This proved to be a major roadblock and needed to be addressed. They agreed to discuss everything, whether it’s negative or positive. That was a stipulation for their relationship. Keep nothing bottled up!

 “Bucky, we need to talk. Something’s eating me from the inside out.”

 His face dropped instantly, uncertain of what was coming.

“Yeah, Doll, what is it?”

 “Why haven’t I met the team? We’ve been together for 3 months and I have yet to set foot in Stark Tower. Is it a problem about my race? Are you ashamed of me?

 “Geez baby face, ain’t no way I’d ever be ashamed to show ya off. Look at’cha. I’m a lucky man. I’m scared someone’s gonna say something stupid to hurt ya feelings.”

 “Babe, if we’re going to continue what we have between us, at some point, meeting the team is inevitable. Don’t worry about what they say. You and I have a special bond; smart ass comments won’t break us. Sweetie, we’ve been out together, heard nasty comments, and laughed at their ignorance. We’ll do the same if any of your colleagues have a negative reaction. But I’m not gonna promise I’ll keep my mouth shut.”

 **********

Bucky agreed to take Y/N to Tony’s Friday night soiree. There wasn’t a dress code, no fancy duds. Just the team hanging out, eating and drinking.

 “What if they don’t like me Bucky?”

 “How could they not? You’re one hellua woman and I’m so glad to have ya in my life.

“And I’m a very fortunate woman to have you in mine.”

 ***********

The elevator ride went on forever. Y/N’s palms were sweating. Bucky pulled her close to his chest and laid a searing kiss on her lips.

 “Calm down sugar. Everything’s gonna be just fine. You’ll see.”

 Y/N wasn’t a self conscious person, but meeting the Avengers  had her stomach in knots.

 **********

Bucky and Y/N stepped from the elevator hand in hand. Nat, Steve and Wanda were sitting at the rooftop bar, engaged in heavy conversation with Tony. Everyone stopped talking and focused their attention on them .

 Sam stopped drinking. He couldn’t believe his eyes. A fine black woman with James Buchanan Barnes. How in the hell did that happen?

 “Hey everyone, this is Y/N. Y/N, this is Wanda, Nat, Tony and that louse over there is Steve. At the bar is Tony and Vision. And that’s Sam.”

 “Hello everyone. It’s really good to finally meet you. I’ve heard so much about the Avengers. Good to put a face with the name.”

Everyone was welcoming, except Steve. Wanda and Nat liked Y/N immediately. They pulled her aside for some food, drinks and girl talk.

 “Hey Frosty, look at you. Growing up to be a big boy.” Tony quipped, looking over his shades. “Are you sure she wants to be with you?”

Bucky retorted, “Yes Tin Man, she does.”

 Steve didn’t comment right away. He remained quiet and Bucky didn’t understand why.

********** 

The night’s unexpected remarks came from Sam. “Barnes, how in the hell did you get a fly ass “sister” like that? Damn, I can’t believe she’s with you! Beauty and the Beast!”

 By now, Y/N had returned to Bucky’s side with a drink in her hand. She caught the end of Sam’s remarks and sprang into action.

 “Excuse me Sam, you’re way out of line. First of all, you need to move past our skin color. I’d rather be with a white man with manners and decency, than a black man with a big mouth and thinks he’s got it going on.”

 “Furthermore, YOU of all people should know what it’s like to be an African American in today’s society. There’s no need to rundown the statistics because you’ve lived it first hand. James and I care very deeply for each other and have witnessed racism for ourselves because we’re together.”

 By now, Y/N was shedding tears and Bucky was furious, but he didn’t interfere.

“Maybe you’re joking and maybe you’re not. But let’s get on damn thing straight from the get go. I’m with him, he’s with me, we ain’t going to stop just because someone’s too ignorant to move past color and go straight for the heart. You’ll be seeing a lot of me so, let’s try to along or I will go straight Brooklyn on dat ass. Feel me?”

 All Sam could do was swallow hard and nod. He could tell this was a sore subject for Y/N and should’ve kept his snarky comment to himself. An apology was definitely coming to her AND Bucky!

 Y/N wiped her face and embraced Bucky tight. He kissed the top of her head.

“Dollface, remind me not to piss you off. The way you handled Bird Man was a thing of beauty.”

 “No problem. I’ve gone through bullshit my teenage and adult life because I prefer to date outside of my race. Bitter ass, insecure black men need to shut the fuck up and allow us to date who we choose.

 Y/N stood on her tiptoes and placed a kiss on Bucky’s lips. He returned the gesture.

 Bucky turned to get some food and a drink. “Hey babe, can I  get you something?

 “Not right now. I need to speak to Steve. I’ll fill you in later.”

 “Okay. Don’t be too long ‘cuz Imma miss ya.”

 “James Buchanan Barnes, go! I’ll be right back in a few minutes!”

 ***********

Steve was standing near the banister overlooking the bright lights of New York City. Y/N stood beside him and laid her hand on his shoulder.

 “Hey Cap. You’re awfully quiet. Everything okay?”

 “Yeah, s’okay. Just thinking about you and Buck.”

 “What about us?”

 “You may or may not know  that  he’s been through hell and back. The world can be a really cruel place about mixed relationships. Hell, in my day, you’d both be killed.”

 Y/N looked directly into his deep blue eyes and spoke.

 “Steve, I’m living African American history. I was adopted and my parents were white. My gosh, I’ve been spit on and bullied relentlessly. Also, I know all there is to know about Bucky. Every horrific act HYDRA forced him to commit; including Tony’s parents, Wakanda, removal of the trigger words, the nightmares. It doesn’t matter to me, Cap. I’m with Bucky because he’s a good man worthy of love and happiness.”

 Steve had compassion in his eyes. “M’sorry he’s the only family I have left. Don’t want’im to get hurt s’all.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “But, I can see  you’re good for him and I’m happy for ya.”

 Looking lovingly at Bucky, Y/N replied “He’s good for me too Cap.”

Bucky came over and kissed his best gal and Steve shook his hand.

 “M’happy for ya Buck. Treat her right.”

 “Thanks man. I will treat this Brooklyn girl right. Can’t turn back now. I’m in too deep.”

 “WHAT?! BROOKLYN?!” Steve’s eyes almost bulged out of their sockets.

 “Yep, born and raised. Jamaica Ave.,” Y/N beamed.

 Steve emitted a hearty laugh, “Yeah Buck, you’ve got a real firecracker. We’re gonna have to sit down and really get acquainted darlin’.”

 “I’d love that, Steve.”

 “C’mon doll, let’s join the others. M’sure they wanna talk to ya some more.”

 **********

Bucky and Y/N sat on the deck chatting with Nat, Wanda and Tony. As promised, Sam apologized and all was forgiven.

 You could see the pride and adoration on Bucky’s face as Y/N interacted with his teammates.

 Tony turned up the wisecracks and music, Thor made an appearance and brought Asgard mead.

 The mood was jovial and light. In that moment, skin color wasn’t an issue. And to think it began with coffee, a chocolate chip muffin, and Brooklyn.
