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 ā‰  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

i think pre-war!bucky would also have a steve-clinginess anxiety scale, if he didn't have to constantly be aware of steve's prickliness. a modern pre-serum!steve would be significantly less prickly about everything, as he would encounter significantly less overt eugenics. more ability to be openly queer and having more ability to define his own masculinity would help too
post-serum doesn't have to be so guarded or guard his independence, and he's not constantly on the verge of being labelled queer, so he would have more leeway with initiating physical contant. and the buckies you write with a post-serum steve don't have anxiety disorders, lol. so i believe they would be a cuddly couple, and bucky's anxiety wouldn't express itself so clearly in steve-clinging
Hi friend! šŸ‘‹ Interesting! You know what, I actually read pre-war Canon Steve as less prickly than many fans seem to.
I don't mind him being characterized as prickly and sometimes I absolutely adore it, but I don't necessarily see it as accurate in my little brain.
In CATFA we are seeing him on one of the worst weeks of his life. His best friend and maybe only friend and likely sole source of economic stability is about to go get maybe killed in war. So. Woof. I think he is absolutely at his worst. I can imagine him actually being pretty cuddly on a regular sort of day before Bucky got drafted.
Steve is not prickly, per se, post serum. He's tough. He's sarcastic. He doesn't like to be underestimated, but he's usually correct when he assumes people are underestimating him. He frequently forgets to value his own life. He's also very, very kind and very polite to people who aren't unmitigated dicks. I feel like these character traits would be consistent pre/post serum.
And the other thing we forget is that men used to be allowed to hug and even kiss tenderly (esp in some cultures). In Lord of the Rings which was written around WWII the men were allowed to be affectionate in a way that people today joke "ended toxic masculinity" but it's decades old. The toxic masculinity that the affection and devotion in LOTR "ended" didn't precisely exist when the LOTR was written.
Which is not to say things weren't bad. Just that men were allowed to be more affectionate with each other and have it be read as platonic (in part because women were seen as less then men).(Look I'm not an actual historian so this probably is not 100% accurate but I do touch on some of these themes in my Shakespeare fic -- it talks about historic concepts of marriage and same-sex affection that I researched extensively)
That being said, yes agreed, Steve would have had many awful pressures due to eugenics and anti-queer bias, but my thought is, he might have been comfortable cuddling up to Bucky platonically or otherwise...
Anyway, re my own writing, my earlier stuff has less consistent characterization. Don't trust anything I said back then. Just kidding. Mostly :)
Finally, in summary, hell yes cuddly couple. I'm all in on the Stucky cuddling head canon.

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 šŸ’€šŸ’€
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 šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø... 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 šŸ¤ŒšŸ»everything about themšŸ¤ŒšŸ» 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 šŸ‘€
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 šŸ’€šŸ’€
If you do find any good M'Baku and Bucky fics, feel free to send them my way šŸ‘€

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

End of Year Stucky Recs [10/15]
Tumblr media
Stucky as a fandom is lucky to have a lot of classics. But I want to give some love to authors whoā€™ve kept writing fantastic stories over the last few years for us all to enjoy!
Title:Ā As Time Goes By
Author: Trouble_With_The_SnapĀ ā€‹
Summary:
Steve returns the Infinity Stones, and then he returns to Peggy. He believes that heā€™s prepared to live out the twentieth century with her as an ordinary civilian, even if the inexorable passage of time finds him increasingly haunted by the ghosts of futures past. Itā€™s everything heā€™s wished for.
Nothing comes without a price.
ā€”
This story brilliantly plays out why Steve returning to the past canā€™t work and isnā€™t compatible with any ultimate happy endings, for anyone. The fact that the author manages some real empathy for Steve (and Peggy!) makes the relentless unfolding of the consequences of Steveā€™s choices even more satisfyingly brutal. Steve ends up getting exactly what he asked for and it hollows him out until I, as a reader, wasnā€™t looking for him reach any redemption or even meaningful self-knowledge.Ā The Bucky in this is heartbreaking and fantastic and, as always, deserves better than he gets but keeps on being a good person despite everything. Which is more, in the end, than you can say for Endgame!Steve. Extremely cathartic. (Warning for Steve/Peggy but this is not a Steggy fic. Itā€™s not even an anti-Steggy fic. If I had to characterize it Iā€™d say itā€™s a Peggy-deserved-better fic. I wouldnā€™t be surprised if this ends up being the onlyĀ fic with Steve/Peggy contentĀ I ever rec.) I hope the author someday continues this series. - B.

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 bachelorā€™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 ā€œa16posts Nekomaruā€ will give you only my non art posts that involve Nekomaru.)
Fandom posts are tagged with the fandom name, as well.as ā€œfunny (fandom name)ā€ or ā€œ(fandom name) fanartā€. 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 ā€œfunny (fandom)ā€ but thereā€™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 Steveā€™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!

Just here thinking ā€œeven when I had nothing, I had Buckyā€ is literally ā€œBucky was my everythingā€, and so on the Helicarrier Steve gives up everything he now has ā€” his job, his reputation, the mask, the shield, the title, and almost his life ā€” to get Bucky back because thatā€™s how much Bucky is worth.

You know how the CACW quinjet conversation thatā€™s always been mocked as forced heteronormativity? Iā€™m sure that was the intention but I just remembered something.
Tumblr media
Bucky: Remember when I made you ride the Cyclone on Coney Island?
Steve: Yeah, and I threw up?
Bucky: This isn't payback, is it?
Steve: Now why would I do that?

There is something to be said about the way Steve and Bucky communicates with each other in the Captain America movies. The way they are so consistent and unvarying, as though they had tread the same ground with each other hundreds of times before and resolved every argument this way, because they all take the proforma of:
Steve: ā€œstupid ideaā€ Bucky: ā€œthatā€™s a stupid idea!ā€ Steve: šŸ„ŗ Bucky: ā€œUGH FINE!ā€
In the first act of the first movie, this conversation format is introduced in their very first disagreement, and establishes the way their dynamic is defined throughout the next 70 years.
Steve: Iā€™m joining the army. Bucky: This isnā€™t a back alley, Steve, itā€™s war!! Steve: šŸ„ŗ Bucky: UGH. DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID UNTIL I GET BACK.
Their relationship is put to the trial through the fires of the battlefield, but their communication style remains steadfast and faithful to their origins.
Steve: Are you ready to follow Captain America into the jaws of death? Bucky: Hell no. Steve: šŸ„ŗ Bucky: ONLY IF YOU KEEP THE TIGHTS.
As we come to CATWS, despite the intervening 70 years, their first verbal exchange falls back into the familiar rote, almost as if they had never parted a day. Importantly though, it is this very dynamic that jolts Bucky's memory.
Steve: Bucky? Bucky: Who the hell is Bucky? Steve: šŸ„ŗ Bucky: HUH. I KNEW HIM. Hydra goons: NO YOU DON'T. Someone go check that warranty on the brainwashing.
During the climatic confrontation in this movie, with the fate of the world weighing on his shoulders, Steve reaches for the same reassuring conversation technique to find a connection with the man before him...and he succeeds.
Steve: Youā€™re my friend! Bucky: Youā€™re my mission! Steve: šŸ„ŗ Bucky: ............šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ
And last but not the least! After a series of tumultuous events, during a time of great unrest and distrust, when even Steve seemed to doubt what Bucky was capable of, Bucky instinctively reaches for the same conversational tone to allay Steve's fears and regain Steve's faith in him.
Bucky: Steve...? Steve: Which Bucky am I talking to? Bucky: šŸ„ŗ Steve: šŸ˜Œ Can't read that in a museum Sam: STEVE. What happened to keeping your head straight? To staying rational? To not being swayed by sentiment?! Steve: šŸ„ŗ Sam: THAT DOESN'T WORK ON ME. Steve + Bucky: šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ Sam: ..........UGH.

Every now and then I think about how lucky CATFA was written in the early 2010s when it wasnā€™t considered cringe to believe in goodness and kindness. How it gave us Steve and Bucky passionately arguing but the closest thing Bucky said to being hurtful was ā€œright, and youā€™ve got nothing to proveā€. He never once referenced Steveā€™s small stature or ill health. He never told Steve that he was chasing an empty dream because of his health records, only that he might get caught ā€œor worseā€ recruited. He never mocked Steve for being overwhelmed by the size of his opponents, only teased him about his tenacity for not running away or giving up. His frustration was never because he thought Steve was not good enough, but because he wanted Steve to stay safe. Regardless of how you choose to interpret their love, there was never any doubt that Steve loved Bucky and Bucky loved Steve, even if those words were not said out loud, because the way they interacted spoke of mutual respect and affection and loyalty.
I loved when love wasnā€™t about how much two people could hurt each other and still be forgiven, but it was about two people who did everything to soften the harshness of the world because of how much they wanted the best for each other.

My #1 post of 2022
Bringing this back because there is still confusion: Bucky is not responsible for the crimes of the Winter Soldier. The analogy is not ā€œif you lost control of your car and killed someone you still need to be responsible for what your car causedā€. It is not ā€œif youā€™re a soldier who followed orders you still need to be responsible for the life you tookā€. Bucky was not distracted or indoctrinated. He was induced into a state where he had no idea who he was, could barely recall what he did, and where ā€œhe will do anything you tell him toā€.

The correct analogy is ā€œif someone hijacked your car, tied you up and locked you in the trunk, then drove your car into people, you are not held responsible for what happened to the victims because you were as much a victim as they areā€. Yes, maybe you will feel guilty for not putting up enough of a fight, or for not killing the hijacker when you thought you had a chance. But you should be told by your good therapist that while your guilt is a natural reaction of a good person, it wasnā€™t your fault and you should not make contact with the other victims on your own, much less apologise on behalf of the people who hijacked your car.
I hope thatā€™s how you get treated in the real world anyway.
(Edit: small correction on the wording of one of the analogies)

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.
