#anti everything that is not stucky

[atlas-on-earth]

just rewatched avengers endgame with my mother and i cried because of steve's ending (not in the way the writers intended) and my mother just looked at me with knowing in her eyes bc she knew i'd go nuclear. now in our house we call him the bad writing boogeyman.

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.

✩ bucky barnes m.list ✩ library blog ✩ bingo event masterlist

It’s been a tough day. 

The mission was ultimately successful, but only just barely. Bucky stands in front of his apartment door, taking what’s supposed to be a deep stabilizing breath but it doesn’t do much to ease the tension in his shoulders. 

He quickly checks his phone again, seeing the same text he got from Sam a few minutes earlier saying that Joaquin was finally out of surgery, but there were no further updates since then. 

Bucky heaves a heavy sigh. Injuries were going to happen, it’s the nature of the job, but he can’t help but feel like he’s directly responsible this time. If only he hadn’t frozen out there like a deer caught in a pair of headlights, then the kid would’ve been spared the injury. 

What the hell even happened? Bucky has seen more than his fair share of violence—explosions, gunfire, everything in between—but he’d never even flinched before today. 

Why did he stop then, why did he want to shrink away today instead of retaliate? He knows what Dr. Raynor would say, what everyone chooses not to—PTSD. Strange, having seventy years of unspeakable trauma boiled down to just four letters. 

It’s just his luck that the serum which kept him alive all these years could slow down aging, could fix bruises, mend broken bones, and repair wounds that would be devastating to any regular man in record time, but it could not fix his damn brain. 

He gets a new text from Sam just then. The kid’s awake and already flirting with his nurse. They’re sending him home the day after tomorrow. 

Bucky breathes a short sigh of relief, but his other hand is still clenched tightly at his side. He forces himself to ease his grip, reaching into his pocket for his keys. 

He doesn’t know what to say yet, so he doesn’t respond to Sam’s text right away. He’s never been good at this whole texting thing. Instead, he unlocks the door and opens it, footsteps faltering when he’s instantly hit in the face with a cloud of warmth that smells of something sweet. 

Brows furrowing in confusion, he removes his shoes and places them on the rack by the door, in between a pair of familiar boots and another pair of sneakers that aren’t his.

There are paintings hung up on the walls that used to be bare, a brown leather jacket hung up on the coat rack next to the door, and another set of keys already sitting in the bowl on the table. 

Flowers in a vase on the coffee table, books littering the shelves, and the sounds of someone tinkering in the kitchen—constant reminders that Bucky no longer lives alone. 

It’s why he doesn’t like bringing work home with him anymore. It didn’t used to matter when he was alone, but he wants to be considerate towards his new roommate. 

Steve is only six months into retirement, after all. 

It’s a sight Bucky’s still not used to. Steve is facing the stove, his front cloaked under a plain dark blue apron as he grabs a potholder and pulls something out of the oven. 

So domestic, he thinks. Even back in the 40s, when Bucky began staying over at the Rogers’ brownstone more often so his best friend wouldn’t feel too lonely in the early days after Sarah’s passing, it didn’t feel anything like this. 

Maybe because back then, even though it was always ‘till the end of the line and even when I had nothing I had you, neither of them really acknowledged what this was. 

“You’re home!” Steve’s voice snaps him back to the present, and his eyes refocus to see a tray of freshly baked cupcakes, perfectly golden-yellow on the tops, being set down onto the counter. “Ack, I wanted to surprise you.” 

“Surprise me?” 

“Don’t tell me you forgot?” For one comical moment, Bucky tries to remember if he’s forgotten some kind of anniversary. “…You okay?” 

That catches him a bit off guard. He tries so hard, yet it’s never easy hiding things from Steve, the only person who could read the micro-expressions on his face as though they were written in ink for all to see. 

“I’m good,” Bucky says noncommittally, swallowing hard before changing the subject. “What did I forget?” 

Steve bristles a bit at that, a loaded question if there ever was one. “It’s your birthday, Buck.” 

He’s stunned for a minute, had indeed forgotten, but memories have a funny way of surprising you. He hasn’t celebrated a birthday in such a long time, nor has he ever had cause to remember, but the smell of the cupcakes brings something back, almost like a vision—

A woman and three young girls, smiling and giggling and smothering his cheeks with kisses, presenting him with a three layered white cake with vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkles.

A stern-looking man watched, peeking over the top of his newspaper, the hint of a smile in his eyes betraying a thinly veiled affection. 

And of course, Steve, back when he was much smaller, eyes crinkling warmly at the corners as he and the rest of Bucky’s family clapped and sang happy birthday. 

“I didn’t think I could bake a whole cake like Winnie used to,” Steve scratches underneath his eye a bit sheepishly. Despite himself, Bucky feels the corners of his mouth lifting. “But these came out of a box and I’m pretty good at following instructions, so they should be good.” 

“They smell good,” Bucky says with a small smile.

Steve pops a cupcake out of one of the tins, using a butter knife to spread some vanilla frosting over the top. He chuckles quietly when it starts to melt, the cake still warm from the oven, and carefully hands it over. Bucky takes it with an almost shy little smile. 

He’ll tell Steve about the mission later, he decides, because he knows Steve of all people would understand. Even if he didn’t, at least he would listen—without judgment, without expectations, without any unsolicited advice. But for now, Bucky wants to enjoy this quiet moment for just a little longer. 

Remember what this feels like, he tells himself, for future bad days. Because there will be a lot of them. 

But as long as Steve’s here, this is what it feels like to be alright. 

“Happy birthday, jerk,” Steve says, his voice low and soft. Bucky looks up at him expectantly. “Shut up, I’m not singing.” 

“Coward,” Bucky laughs as he shakes his head before taking a large bite. His cheeks are warm and he stares down at the half-eaten cupcake, dotted with rainbow sprinkles that look like bits of confetti—just like Ma used to make ‘em. But to offset some of the shyness he’s feeling under Steve’s watchful eye and crooked little smile, Bucky mutters with his mouth full, “You’re a punk.” 

His best friend in the entire world—his balm against the ache of a lifetime gone by, his steadfast tether in this otherwise turbulent sea of confusion and woe—just grins. 

Steve helps himself to one of the treats, blue eyes sparkling just like the boy from Bucky’s memories as their gazes meet. Bucky grabs a napkin and smushes it against a smear of frosting on Steve’s nose.

“Ow, easy!” Steve hisses, batting away Bucky’s metal hand with a huff. 

Something swells in his chest as he takes another bite, and Bucky thinks he can finally acknowledge it now. 

It tastes like love.

How is criticizing a white actor’s choice to take part in multiple military movies the same as continually shaming a brown actor for not being as booked as his one-time co-star? They are not in the realm of the same thing, I’m sorry.

i wasn't gonna answer, like i said before, but this is sth that has actually bothered me for a while too.

what you're saying would have way more of an impact if 1) it wasn't on anon, 2) tumblr didn't love other military movies/characters that were in the military/people who portray them.

because which ship has had one of the biggest followings on this website ever? stucky - two american guys who joined the military during ww2. what film has been on my dash, most likely reblogged by the same people who complain about nick's film? top gun maverick. which show has been super popular a few months ago? masters of the air. who is the absolute fan favorite character on 911? eddie diaz, who joined the army voluntarily in the 2010s and was in afghanistan. all these characters are portrayed by actors who chose these roles too. yet no one has a problem with it. because, would you look at that, it's just a movie/show.

side note: i don't give a shit about the military, especially the US military, or american films about ww2, especially since i'm from poland, you know, the country first invaded by nazi germany during ww2.

on the other hand, the people who complain about taylor being unemployed are hypocrites, because they're all on tumblr - the website that is CONSTANTLY on about how much they "don't dream of labor" and how much they "wish they could just exist and travel and enjoy life". like, this is the website where in every poll about work the unemployed option wins. so people are just clearly jealous and bitter and have double standards. not even talking about how it's obvious he has less opportunities in hollywood because he is not white and not a nepo baby like so many popular actors now. which is obviously the case. because taylor is talented and kind and hard-working.

so yeah. the two things are different, obviously. but the thing they have in common is that one side hates the other and they will take EVERYTHING the other side does and twist it somehow, just so they feel morally superior and/or so that they can be funny and sarcastic on main.

and what even is the point of sending anti nick and anti taylor messages to blogs that love them both? it's a waste of everyone's time. stay in your echo chamber, with people who hate the same things you hate and you can pat each other on the backs and congratulate each other on hating the same person. have fun.

[fandomfluffandfuck]

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 don’t tag spoilers unless the media has recently come out! You WILL be spoiled if you haven’t played the Danganronpa games and don’t know the spoilers.

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 harass 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

[vole-mon-amour]

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.

Wolfstar was what sucked me into this world too. Aside from them, I think the only other not-exactly-canon-but-definitely-canon mlm ships that I saw before them were Stucky, Sterek & Thiam, and KiriBaku- and I will gladly die on the hill that every single one of these are canon, but the writers/evil mouse (for Stucky) will never allow for them to be.

Thiam does the enemies-to-lovers trope so well, they even added in “I hate him, everyone hates him, but he’s my responsibility and I’ll do what I need to to keep him alive.” Idc, idc, Theo is my favorite Teen Wolf character because his character development in just two seasons, was that great. I also love Cody Christian and freaked out when I found out he was casted as Cloud’s voice actor in the remake of Final Fantasy VII.

If you don’t know Sterek, I don’t even know where to begin to explain everything about that them. Stiles and Derek were often times considered one of the golden queer ships of Tumblr in the 2010’s with Merthur (I know there’s other ones too but it’s 4:44am for me).

Stucky was my first, and one of the only, ships from the MCU/Marvel that I hold dear to my heart (shoutout to Winter Widow too). I left Endgame devastated and left wanting more because wym my favorite female just died and Steve Rogers decided to leave his actual soulmate, for a woman who Steve had known for like, a cup of coffee? Steve spent three movies trying to save Bucky, only to leave Bucky questioning if he’d ever be enough and if Steve was right about him- that’s very unlike Steve Rogers if you ask me.

I know a lot of MHA/BNHA fans love BakuDeku, but Bakugo and Deku are literally too similar to my brothers (I am Momo and Shoto’s love child, but I kin Shoto more) that shipping BakuDeku makes no sense to me. I also just hate ships that involve bullying. Bakugo quite literally only showed one classmate of his respect for most of the anime/manga and that’s Kirishima (I’m also anti Bakugo and Ochaco because they’re too different from each other). Any time Kiri was down and hating on himself, Bakugo would be one of the only ones to cheer him up. I even got two late 20/early 30 year olds to admit that KiriBaku is practically canon.

I also love Pandalily, Marylily, and Dorlene so, so much. Dorlene is practically ingrained into my memory atp.

Last year while watching PoA I had an epiphany. It was during the Shrieking Shack scene. You know the one.

I was like, oh. OH. These two old men are silly little lovey dovey boyfriends. There should be some good fanfic about them on AO3.

Now, listen.

Nothing could have prepared me for what I would find. I watched HP all my childood. I did christmas marathons for years. The dead parents were just... dead parents.

Then wolfstar decided to fucking snatch me by the throat and throw me into the Marauders Vortex, and there is simply no going back.

Black brothers angst? Everyone's gay? Lily Evans has a personality beyond her eyes (and her sacrifice)? James Potter is literally sunshine turned person? Regulus is... a person?

Delicious.

And all it took was a second glance at that slouchy hug between a shabby old man and a greasy insane prisioner, a simple let's kill him together, a quick check on tumblr, and boom! I have ascended to a higher level of existence.

I see now that this was an inevitable outcome. It may come sooner in your HP journey, or later. But it will come.

And when it does, be prepared. These crazy bitches created lore out of literal scraps and it is fucking amazing.

Yes, Joanne, we snatched these babies from your talons and made them better, gayer, and quite literally, ours.

[germposting]

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.

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.
