You know, there is something deeply satisfying about your gay love story being so epic and romantic and obvious that the showrunners had to create a whole bunch of parallel universes to repurpose it beat for beat, over and over, in an attempt to sell their endgame hetero couple.
You can keep trying, MCU, but you know the shiny truth of it. Steve and Bucky were gloriously right together.

why marvel hates stucky? because Captain America is (should be) a man
let's be real. Marvel isn't erasing stucky, they are merely erasing Bucky from Steve's storyline, not the other way around, they even went so far as to canonly admitting that Steve's Bucky's homecoming. why can they tolerate a possibly queer Bucky but not Steve? because to them, Steve Rogers is Captain America and Captain America is this white, straight, masculine national hero who embodies the traditional male fantasy. Bucky is just a sidekick that no one gives a fuck about while Sam is never gonna be the real Cap. bucky is the 'other' and by nature he is not important, he is put in a inferior position and his femininity (being queer) is slightly more acceptable than steve's.
what's funny is that, only Bucky saw Steve Rogers when the whole damn world sees Captain America. Bucky Barnes is the one that makes Steve Steve, as long as Bucky exists Steve can't be the hypermasculine icon Marvel wants him to be. why? bc it's in the fucking narrative. in this sense, Bucky Barnes is the only thing that stands in between Steve and the erroneous reading and presentation of Steve's character. So, he has to be removed.
and I'll expand that on the stomper or whatever knockoff ironman suit they put him in in WhatIf
there's a wonderful meta about why Steve is a feminine character. his masculinity isn't born but made and he was objectified and ridiculed for it. that artificial masculinity gave him the feminine experience and that's what makes him fascinating as an ostensibly hypermasculine hero. this dichotomy between Steve and Captain America created by that body is one of many reasons why Steve ≠ Captain America. by putting him in that suit, they are emulating masculinity with a giant piece of metal and tech that has phallic analogies written all over.
and that makes Steve, what? a knockoff tony stark? bc tony at least designed the thing. Steve is just a dude borrowing it. there's no depth and certainly no positive gendered reading came out of it. he becomes this simplistic male hero fantasy (like ironman). then, Marvel swapped Steve and Bucky's storylines but lost all the nuances because bucky is also heavily female-coded, especially his suffering as the winter soldier. the cartoon has none of that.
marvel is entirely ignorant as to why the Cap trilogy the best Marvel movies and steve&bucky the best characters, and they wonder now why steggy isn't well received. erasing Bucky from Steve's plot just makes the character boring. stucky isn't popular (entirely) bc they were played by cute white guys. it's bc their relationship adds depth, GENDERED DEPTH, to them and that's relatable to all the women that made the fandom so goddanm influential. Steve Rogers isn't your white male fantasy no matter how hard you try.

Okay I haven't watched the MCU in a while and honestly at this point all I care about is Bucky, Wanda, Loki and maybe Shangchi but I watched a summary of the baby Starlord episode and the Captain Carter episode of the new What-if (not really interested in watching the whole thing but Bucky's in it so yeah) and as a Cap girl who loves CATWS so much that it's one of my all-time favourite movie, what Marvel's doing to the whole Steve-Bucky-Peggy (that I've been having issues with since Endgame) is driving me insanely frustrated.
I fucking HATE it when people more or less lessen or ruin what was originally so well-written and performed in the original that serves to drive the character that led to them being so well loved
Like, stucky doesn't need to be queer romantic to be significant. (And I'm saying this as a Stucky shipper whose whole exposure to AO3 and Tumblr started with Stucky) It is a significant, important and heavy relationship REGARDLESS if it's platonic or romantic. Erasing that and forcefully making it Steggy doesn't work, drives the og audience away from Steggy and frankly, it's kind of homophobic
Also it's incredibly unfair that Steve's significance to Bucky remains while vice versa isn't, even though THAT'S ONE OF THE TWO DRIVING MOTIVATIONS OF ALL OF STEVE'S ACTIONS IN CACW. Are you really trying to convince me that a bond so deep that they've been inseparable all their lives since they were kids and well into their adulthood, is less significant, or is effective as a memory trigger (and I fucking studied the basic of memory recall) than the significant shorter Steggy romance? What the fuck????
I almost want to write a whole essay on the Steve-Bucky-Peggy relationship, but I currently have enough writing tasks (fics, emails, letters, essays) on my plate. I'll see if I wanna come back to it later.

i rmr when all the initial meta around endgame was coming out people were talking about steve being depressed and whatnot and it's like well yeah but he's BEEN depressed, like he woke up alone in this century and he kept going, now i can understand it being worse this time after finding a family and getting bucky back and losing them all except of course that's not why endgame steve was on about so like......the people writing meta were trying to connect these things that of course weren't really there on screen because that simply wasn't our steve
but i think it really could've been SO interesting to see this is the thing that finally makes steve stay down like he's lost so much and he just CAN'T keep fighting like i get some people think that's what they were going for but considering the ending......it's really not. and so i'm just thinking about a version after iw, maybe he gets some of the thor treatment except not turning his depression into a dumb fatphobic joke lol and maybe nat and others are trying to get through to him and it just doesn't work and then we get some flashbacks (which you could have done for all the original avengers actually which would be particularly important for bruce and nat and clint who did not have their own trilogies) including his mom telling him "you always stand up" and THAT being the thing to finally get him moving like it would've been such a perfect way to finally show sarah rogers some respect and ACTUALLY show steve really struggling instead of whatever they tried to do with him in that movie
#steve rogers#mcu#anti endgame#why am i still rewriting this movie five years later#really though i think i rmr just trying to work through it all#and a lot of the meta i was reblogging initially still wasn't really accurate to endgame or the rest of the mcu#like they were still making steggy more important than it canonically was while trying to explain why it was a bad ending#and it's kind of like you can say steve would respect that peggy had a life and wouldn't interfere with it but that's about it like#going on about how he DID love her so much and just wouldn't be selfish enough to do those things#or that she was soooo important to his moral compass (hence why so many fic writers had her telling him to go back to bucky lol insanity)#are just not accurate lmao i do think much as she may be rightfully disliked#while canonically he did not LOVE her he did respect her even if we think that's annoying bc she's an asshole to him in catfa#but yeah no he had a moral compass before her i understand what people were going for with the compass being symbolic but like....#any time she said anything did he listen? except for maybe when she told him he was meant for more? it really doesn't seem like it#nor did he need it! jesus! the whole point of catfa is he was chosen for a REASON he was already a good man#he did not need peggy 'sure i'll let nazis into shield' carter to teach him shit#but yeah it was bc i followed one stucky blog at the time who was reblogging a lot of good shit but a lot of that nonsensical shit too#and i was just reblogging it all bc everything sounded better than endgame#and i really did start seeing more of the discussions around peggy where her culpability in catws hadn't even occurred to me#bc i was so in fic from the beginning of joining fandom that not only was their relationship made as impt as stucky#it was also made out like what happened to shield was hurting her legacy and it's like...but she had to have at least SOME responsibility#and yeah eventually it's like okay no it's not just that steve wouldn't Do That it's also that they would've been a terrible couple#and not only would he not be so selfish but he wouldn't give up everything for HER lmao but he would've for bucky as was shown over and ove

Help, i fell down a Marvel rabbit hole.
So the Endgame dilemma with Steve's decision had me thinking about other 'happy places' for Bucky and of course there's the obvious with Sam after TFWS but can we just for a minute think about Bucky maybe refreshing something nice from his time in recovery in Wakanda?
I found not a lot of fics but the thought of Bucky getting back there and kinda warming up with M'Baku again? This pairing just has something to me, especially with the whole grumpy but secretly subby White Wolf meets sarcastic domineering great Gorilla M'Baku...
Why would I help, lmao? I'm at the bottom of a very similar hole. The more the marrier! Welcome to the trash pile 💀💀
All good options, all good options, but I will say, anon, I welcome you to fully embrace the exhilarating option of: completely ignoring the events of Endgame.
As captivating as the idea of subby white wolf and domineering gorilla M'Baku is 😮‍💨... as much as I love all the ship content that has come out of Sebastian's and Mackie's banter as Bucky and Sam... I am weak for stucky. It's 🤌🏻everything about them🤌🏻 The childhood best friends to lovers, the wartime sweethearts, the going against the whole world for each other, the dying for each other, the living for each other.
Okay, so I'm laying my cards fully on the table to say that I hate Endgame, explaining why I like to ignore it. And with that being said, here are some anti-Endgame (some of them also straight up anti-steggy/anti-peggy) related metas that I find thought-provoking that I think you might, too. They're just to kick around the idea if you're interested in a different perspective that comes from what I see as deeper in the fandom (idk how true that is,though, lol)--something you might not have come across yet if you're new to this rabbit hole. Obviously, you don't have to read these, though! And I'm not saying you can't ship sambucky or Bucky x M'Baku. You're totally welcome to! I see the appeal myself 👀
Anyway, here:
Bucky's insecurities
No mourning of Steve
Secrets between Steve & Peggy
Endgame destroying Steve's character
More character destruction
Steve choosing Bucky
More stucky devotion
I'd rather Steve die
The no-homo-ing of gay ships in Hollywood
Steve and loyalty
Steve, the shield, Bucky, and Peggy
Steve's ending doesn't make sense (essay)
The Bucky Steve leaves behind
The look on Bucky's face
Uhh... I may have gotten carried away with the links. Listen, I just feel strongly, okay 💀💀
If you do find any good M'Baku and Bucky fics, feel free to send them my way 👀

So, I grew up in anti LGBTQ country and my family saw LGBTQ as something sinful. As I grew up and enjoy more media (especially anime/manga), I enjoy shipping non canon couples more than the canon. Then, ever since I found mlm and wlw stories (especially fanfics) and also BL & GL manga/manhwa, my interest in het romance decrese a lot, and what I search for is just the dynamic between mc (male) and male lead or mc (female) and female lead.
And what I want to read mostly are just mlm or wlw stories for romance (especially for my favorite non canon couples from any media).
What do you think is happening to me? Is it weird?
I grew up in a religious family so we NEVER talked about LGBTQ+ things, the few times we saw it on TV my parents rolled their eyes and said those people are weird
I started reading GL at 11 then BL at 13, but thought I was straight until 16 and cis until 18
I don't think it's weird to like non-het romance, I think it's pretty cute. I also think it's a good thing that you have other romance models than TV Straight Couples, even though many Gay Relationship in mangas are a bit... unrepresentative of reality. Some are straight up fantasies drew by horny people who probably have never been in a gay relationship.
Anyway if you read non-romance mangas and have a non-canon ship it's probable because most shonen and seinen authors doesn't know how to write romance -or to incorporate it into their story. Often the Female Lead is... empty. No personality, no character development, no complexity, so she's boring and you grew no interest into her. However the guys who helps the MC have a better development so it's simply logical to like them better. Also when there's 80% male characters it's simply logical to ship them together because they interact way more than MC and Female Lead (there's a study on this, I don't remember the numbers or the name)
Even though I say many Gay romances aren't realistic, I still think they are better than many straight romance. If you find the good ones, it's so satisfying. Idk there's something in gay love that made it so pure and wholesome. Like, a straight man can love a girl 'cause she's hot, or a straight woman can love a boy 'cause he's strong and protects her. Gay men are like, devoted to each other, they admire everything about the other. Saying shit like "till the end of the line" Stucky (MCU) or "My one and only" SatoSugu (JJK), you don't see things like that in straight romance.
Therefor, you can love GL and BL while being cishet and that's fine, because it raises different question and works around different issues than straight romance, and you might be tired of reading the same shit over and over again.
But also, you might be a closeted something that is still trying to find out if loving that way can be fine.
Either case, that's not weird, you're just looking around and enjoying stories, nothing wrong with that. Be careful of your family though, I don't want you to put yourself in danger if they're hostile toward LGBTQIA+ folks

Welcome to my blog!
Hi! My name is Azzie (she/her) and I'm 22. I'm an artist and writer by hobby, but I majored in music for my bachelor’s, specifically vocal performance.
During June of 2023, I went back and tagged all of my 10,000 posts and reblogs! Click here for a tag guide (WIP lol so no link yet), or read below for a less specific version. If you want to check out only my art, head to @azziesartblog! I've reblogged all my art there, but it's all posted here as well.
Let me know if anyone wants a list of major fandoms on this blog!
On this blog, for my art, look under #my art and for my posts, look under #my posts. Real creative, I know. However, I also have them under #a16art and #a16posts for easy access, especially when looking for a specific character or media. (Example: searching “a16posts Nekomaru” will give you only my non art posts that involve Nekomaru.)
Fandom posts are tagged with the fandom name, as well.as “funny (fandom name)” or “(fandom name) fanart”. Drawn memes are a specific subset of fandom posts that combine funny and fanart in specific ways, usually drawing specific memes. I rarely tag my own posts with “funny (fandom)” but there’s a few I do think are funny that I tagged
I have multiple AUs, mostly relating to Steven Universe. The most extensive is a Danganronpa Steven Universe AU, where I've drawn all the main game cast as Gems and created some fusions! It's under #danganronpa su au, or you can find the masterpost here.
Some fandom specific and misc things:
My MCU tag has a lot of Stucky, and I heavily dislike Steve’s ending in Endgame.
I use he/him for Chihiro Fujisaki, but you are welcome to tag my posts with different headcanons, and I will avoid gendering him on reblogs of your posts if you dislike those pronouns for him. Please don't start discourse.
My blog is entirely SFW, but there may occasionally be crude humor, which is tagged with "nsfw joke" or "nsfw text". Furthermore, any suggestive posts are tagged "nsfwish".
I am an anti, but I am much less militant about it than I was. I'm strongly anti harassment. I still greatly dislike proships, but I won't harrass you over it- I'll just block and/or filter the tags.
I've had this blog since April of 2017 and I may not agree with everything I've reblogged, even if I agreed with it back then. On some posts, (even ones I dont disagree with and just want to comment on) I've put "2023 update:" or something of the like to comment on the posts.
No DNI- the usual nasties aren't deterred by stuff like that- but know that I am a strong LGBT ally and stand against racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and any type of bigotry. Black lives matter. Free Palestine.
Thank you for reading! Again, welcome to my blog!

Okay gang, I'm making an executive decision.
Per @imposterogers , Sunday, March 10th, 2024, is Resurrect Stucky Day.
Watch CFA & CATWS and post on Tumblr as you do so (maybe even cherrypick your way through CACW; I like to end after the helicopter scene, when Steve pops up out of the water with Bucky) and resolutely refuse to watch the end of Endgame.
In fact, we could start our double/triple feature at 7:04p EST to commemorate Steve's birthday alongside Bucky's and in recognition of their Eastern Standard Time Brooklyn roots, and still be done with both movies by midnight, sooner for the rest of the U.S. I can't choose a time for our global compatriots (because I'm not a monster... or all that good with math), but hopefully, you all can find a good time to fit it into your schedule.
Someone could also host an Endgame Fix-it Competition (where everybody wins because the more fics clearing out the horrible taste that ending left us with, the better) ...or some other event.
Then celebrate the day of however you like:
Bring your new and old fanart and fanfiction to post here on Tumblr (or wherever you post. I am currently working on a few novel-length pieces, so maybe that's the day I'll start posting chapters on here and AO3).
Reread your favorite fanfics like This, You Protect by @vmohlere, and 4-Minute Window by @cesperanza. And for the love of everything, comment. Fic writers live on comments.
Give love to your favorite/all fanartists.
Bake the boys a birthday cake and eat it all in one go. And then probably throw up. But it still counts!
Stand on the side of the road with a sign stating, "Bucky deserved better!" ...because he did.
Wear all of your Captain America-themed clothes... all at once, multiple outfit changes throughout the day, or....
Cosplay as one of the boys (I think cosplaying as Natasha or Sam would also count, don't you?).
...and more.
We are one of the biggest Fandoms out there. We can bring this back, and I think we should. Stucky is beautiful, and like the ship's hero and anti-hero, it means something.... because we still need a gay Captain America, y'all. And these boys deserve a happy ending.
we need to resurrect the stucky fandom on tumblr like we need a full renaissance to happen. i want to rival destiels
step 1: organize. choose a day to have a wild stevebuckython where en masse everyone rewatches cap 1 n 2 and posts about it. i would like to propose march 10th, because not only is that bucky's birthday, but march 1941 was the first issue that steve n bucky were introduced together (according to google lol)
step 2: the mcu has scorned us. for me its a big reason why I stepped away from stevebucky (because it hurt my feelings to think about steve leaving bucky like that and I am Weak). I think we should pick a specific comic run to all obsess and analyze and create content over that doesn't end in tragedy
step 3: post. post a lot. reblog old posts. hell, completely plagiarize your old posts and repost them. there's a lot of good content from circa 2015 we can revitalize
step 4: make them into a meme. pick a single screencap of them and COMMIT!!!! we need to universally decide which one to use, how to use it, and stick to it

The "You hate black women" argument when it comes to Bucky x Sarah is ridiculous. I hate every ship with Steve and Bucky that is not Stucky. I hate SamBucky. I hate SarahBucky. I hate BuckyNat. I hate St*ggy. I fucking HATE SteveTony. Don't fucking @ me, my brain is soaked in SteveBucky and it is canon for me. Disney and Marvel are just homophobic & SteveBucky would have been married by the end of Endgame if one of them was a woman.
Tag your damn ships properly please.

If y’all absolute heathens could quit making the broken ass link between Bucky and Anti-Hero when Sweet Nothing, The Great War, and You’re On Your Own Kid are RIGHT THERE i would Deeply Appreciate It. Bucky is not and has never been an Anti-Hero, he is Literally a conscripted soldier turned POW & torture victim for 70 FUCKING YEARS and i will not stand for this slander of his character.

i guess there’s just something shitty about seeing the character i relate to get abandoned and rewritten and acting nothing like how i thought of him and then when i try to complain about how his downfall started with the shitty writing that put steve back in the past and how that ruins the entire franchise they had previously been apart of it gets taken down by people telling me “you’re just upset it didnt end with them being ‘gay’” and implying they think i’m weird or dumb or gross for being heavily invested in a storyline that happened to cumulate into a pretty great subversive gay ship. i dont know. i just dont like seeing bucky get abandoned by steve. i dont care how people try to spin it. i see myself in bucky. i hate that my escapism character who i used to cope with my own abuse and neglect and abandonment issues got abandoned himself. and we barely see him react to it.

All the Stucky people who have to make literally everything Bucky says, does, or thinks of saying or doing relate solely to Steve, making Bucky talking to Sam’s sister and gasp, using her name, as something about Steve because, gasp, Steve’s mom!
Bitch, this aint Batman V Superman.
Tumblr media
It’s a common name. Bucky has heard that name before that moment. You think he tears up every time he goes on a grocery run and there’s a woman with a Sarah name tag? Yeah, dude knew Steve’s mom, I’m sure he’s got affection for that name. But, you know, it is also, just possible that Bucky appreciates this Sarah as her own person, not just as an extension of Steve.
And if we’re sticking with the It’s All About Steve model, then why the flirting? The. flirting so obvious that Sam called him out on it. If it’s all connected to Steve’s Sarah, why he be flirting?
Did Bucky have a thing for Steve’s mom? Did he think that Stevie’s mom had it going on? 
Fucking apparently, by It’s All About Steve logic.

Vote Pepper because:
Stony shippers don't like her, and as such, in Stony fics,Pepper is portrayed as Type A to the extreme (i.e., a nag) in order to justify Tony not liking her. Other than that, she's a fairly popular character, with fans acknowledging that she defeated most of Tony's adversaries.
Even characters in canon respect Pepper and ship her and Tony together - including the other part of the mlm ship, Steve.
Pepper got to marry Tony in canon and have a child with him in canon. This is despite how the two were perhaps only briefly together in comics (the source material for the MCU, allegedly), where Pepper realized she would be happier with Happy Hogan.
Vote Sharon because:
Stony, Stucky, Romanogers, and Steggy fans loathe her. Sharon is portrayed as a conniving, meddling bitch/villain in fics. Multiple authors flat-out say that they need someone to be the bitch or villain in their fics and they used Sharon.
She got so much hatred based on Steve kissing her in Civil War in 2016 that Marvel Studios changed its entire plan for multiple characters. Endgame hammered in a plot about how Steve had not, in fact, moved on and abandoned everyone he'd formed ties with to return to a woman he'd never dated and who had actually shot at him after seeing him kiss someone else because this was deemed more romantic than him being with someone who gave up everything to support him. Instead of "He can do this all day," he retired with someone who never got a single line of dialog in the film because the filmmakers said he deserved to be selfish for once. The filmmakers can't agree on if he genuinely went back in time (TSA approved, but also suggests he groomed Sharon so she would be return the kiss when she was older) or if he created another timeline (TSA supposedly wouldn't allow it, unless Cap is an exception to this rule, too). Meanwhile, Sharon is in a non-extradition country, using her own name, dealing in art (his area of interest) which would make it pretty easy for people to find her if they looked. But with Steve needing justification to not look for her, Marvel Studios argues that she's not only a villain, but was always too weak to survive trauma with her morality intact (despite how we saw her do just that in the past). In short, the kiss led to so much hatred for Sharon that Marvel decided to make things incredibly nonsensical and confusing in order to justify it.
Sharon still gets blamed for making out with Steve even though they weren't related and the only people saying they were did so in order to break them up. Reminder: He initiated the kiss 2016. He asked her out in 2014.
Even Marvel Studios employees talk about how they wanted to kill Sharon off in ways that might have been too violent to show on screen but backed off because "Emily Vandercamp" is so sweet. That is... not her name. This was said unprompted in a promotional interview. And yes, one of the writers flat-out said it's because they ship Steve with someone else. To my knowledge, nothing like this happened to Gwyneth Paltrow/Pepper.
Emily VanCamp was shown Stucky fic in interviews and told how people prefer Steve with Bucky. All she could say was that she hoped people liked Sharon a little more after Civil War. One problem with that was that Marvel Studios had decided to turn Cap 3 into Civil War - taking her from a lead to another extended cameo. She only have 7 1/2 minutes in the entirety of the MCU, and only three of those minutes were spent developing a romantic relationship. To my knowledge, nothing like this happened to Gwyneth Paltrow/Pepper, who got much more screentime and time to develop a romantic relationship.
Interviewers quoted anti-Staron shippers (including from people who openly said they thought Steve should get with Bucky instead) on the promotional tour, and you can see in at least one of the interviews that Emily is trying not to cry. To my knowledge, nothing like this happened to Gwyneth Paltrow.
This is despite how Sharon has been Steve's main love interest in the comics since December 9, 1965. Despite being off and on for decades (three of Steve's other love interests were while she was supposedly dead, with at least one writer saying they only created the love interest because Sharon was dead at the time), the two of them have been together since 2005 - seven years before TFA came out.
Round 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda Under Cut
Pepper Potts
So many fics make her bitchy and controlling for absolutely no reason she deserves better
So for this we have to think back to like... peak Avengers MCU era. I am sorry. Back when Avengers had just come out it was BRUTAL out there for anyone who didn't like Tony/Steve (Tony Stark, Pepper's canon love interest, and Steve Rogers aka Iron Man and Captain America). While the ship itself is like, fine, it got sour so fast because Pepper was demonized SO much. When she wasn't completely sidelined and ignored, she was a cheater or an abuser (??) or what-have-you in fics so the two men could get together. It's much better now and last I heard Pepper gets some of the love she deserves (bc we do love women in this house!) but oh MAN it was bad back then. TBH all MCU women were treated like garbage by the fanbase but she got the brunt of it because she was in the way of The Most Popular Ship. She was just too #girlboss I guess
Frequently villainized for being a canon love interest for Tony Stark. Often portrayed as a Nag, constantly bothering him about doing "work" for his "company" when he could be working on inventions or spending time with his love interest! Sometimes she just Doesn't Understand Him, inconsiderately pressuring him to stay out of being a hero instead of being who he really is; only the m/m love interest really understands him! Or maybe she's the aggressor, who took advantage of the power imbalance between her and her poor innocent *checks notes* boss in order to pressure him into a relationship he didn't really want where he was treated terribly, and only his m/m love interest can save him from her! Pepper deserves better!
Sharon Carter
she “got in the way” of stucky shippers, in the comics she’s like the love of Steve’s life 
When she first appeared she was unfairly treated by fans for "getting in the way" of the Steve Rogers/Bucky Barnes ship. A shame because she's a really good character. I'd talk more about how unfairly Sharon, and her actress Emily VanCamp, have been treated by the fanbase and the creators, but that's a different story.
She and Steve Rogers were meant to have a romantic relationship, but the entire fandom and many Stucky fans dislike her because it wasn’t a good ship. I think she isn’t the best but she doesn’t deserve so much hate
