Captain America: the Winter Soldier, the Movie Poster We Should Have Gotten (Redbubble)

Inspiration and non-titled version below cut:

No title version:

This is my magnum opus! A GIANT photo manipulation of at least 12 source images, painstakingly taken apart and put back together in Photoshop. at one point this beast had over 80 layers! I am surprised my computer didn't crash!

Inspired by the Iron Man 3 and Thor: the Dark World posters wherein the love interest is posed like a Damsel in Distress.

Since Bucky IS CapSteve's damsel in all 3 movies!

^ my original digital sketch (featuring my FAVORITE Bucky drawing OF ALL TIME by @evankart!) and first attempt at a digital drawing using adobe illustrator (to be fair to 2021 me, I had been using illustrator less than a year at that point and would have just done it in Photoshop originally if it wasn't a project for one of my Graphic Design college classes) I used it for a magazine spread in my capstone (My paper was about queerbaiting in the MCU click to read on Ao3!) See the rest of the illustrations here!

When i saw the @catws-anniversary event, i KNEW I had to do it! Prompts: Devotion, Reunion, Schoolyard and battlefield, Favorite Stucky scene (missing scene lol)

THE PROMISE: THE SERIES (2023, THAILAND)

Episode 4

Phu (KITTIKUN TANSUHAS aka KUN) is a wanted man. By Devonte Men's Skin Care and Nan's boss Ken.

As Nan (WATTIKORN PERMSUBHIRUN aka KIAK) goes to speak to his friend, an awkward moment between the two is fraught with a certain tension.

Nan is still unaware his best friend that vanished for 10 years is completely in love with him.

And I was right. Phu never went to Melbourne. He was in Thailand the whole time. Avoiding Nan...but why?

I love how over time kid xelqua has become less just baby grian and more grian's kid who he found in the woods/somehow created and now the kid represents all of grian's childhood trauma and Catholic guilt and grian is just trying to break the cycle bc there's this magic fucking baby who is the best thing in the world

JKAGJKD yes Exactly, see evo Grian has a lot of family issues, from being an orphan, to the Watchers, he has ISSUES, so raising a version of himself is..... definitely odd, but weirdly healing.. He sees how he was as a kid, he wasn't that bad, he was just a kid ! He didn't deserve to be abandoned or anything. He sees all of his ache in Xelqua, he's very much breaking the cycle.

[mumbo: You alright mate, you have that look in your eyes. grian: no yeah--i'm good, i just.... its easy to raise him, y'know ? i mean, i know he's literally me, but.. it makes me wonder about my own parents--before the watchers, if i was anything like him, i don't know why they left] (-me)

PHUPHA | NANFAH: THE MINI SERIES (DELETED SCENES)

I am devoted to finishing THE PROMISE: THE SERIES even though the series is moving at a snails pace as far the BOYS' LOVE story is concerned.

No I do not like the direction of the series yet but hopefully it will get there soon as there are only 10 episodes.

Well let me rephrase that, it's not that I don't like the series but it's like they don't have enough to fill the 10 episodes so right now it's all filler. I mean they're practically giving the black cat Oliang his storyline.

But I decided to GIF some of the deleted scenes from the mini series.

I think both of those reactions are valid ways of dealing with shitty canon. It's great if you can punch canon in the face and say "no, that's not what happened, fuck you." It's awesome if you can create or consume content that fixes what went wrong, that makes your love for the ship that the tptb tried to destroy grow even stronger. But it's also okay to be so devastated that it might take you years to recover. Sometimes the hurt just cuts too deep.

It's possible, too, to go back and forth between the two. To continue loving your ship with your whole heart, to read and write healing stories while at the same time feeling heartbroken about what canon did to the characters you are/were so invested in. That's how I feel about stucky.

As much as I blame the writers/the directors/the studio, as much as I refuse to let them take Steve and Bucky away from me, part of me can't ignore the fact that canon Steve abandoned canon Bucky. Part of me can't forget the look on Bucky's face when he said goodbye to Steve, knowing that the one person he trusted and loved and needed wasn't coming back. And unless something miraculous happens and Marvel somehow retcons that ending (which, let's face it, is extremely unlikely) my heart will always bleed for Bucky.

Stucky used to be my comfort ship.

I used to think Steve and Bucky cared for each other so deeply and tragically that their love – even if only viewed as platonic – could not be denied by anyone. Not after Steve spent THREE whole movies, the entire Cap trilogy, proving how much Bucky meant to him over and over and over. Steve was willing to fight for him and die for him in every single movie. I used to think that even if Marvel gave Steve another love interest, even if he died in Endgame, it wouldn’t change or negate how devoted they were to each other. That they would still be friends “til the end of the line.”

Little did I know what awaited me in Endgame was a fate worse than death.

Steve left and in doing so rewrote everything we thought we knew about him and his relationship with Bucky. About who Steve is as a character entirely. It wasn’t just that he abandoned his supposed best friend, who he had been chasing and obsessing over for years. Who was there for him and looked after him ever since they were children. If Steve had left the Bucky he used to know in the 1940s for some love interest and a life without him, it would still be pretty out of character, but I would eventually get over it. 1940s!Bucky was confident, happy, and had family and friends who cared about him. Endgame!Bucky is not that Bucky.

Endgame!Bucky is broken and lost and just now learning how to be a person again. Endgame!Bucky has no friends and no family. Endgame!Bucky just spent the last 70 years of his life going from one fight to another, being brainwashed and tortured and manipulated and abused. Endgame!Bucky is clinging by a thread to the one and only thing he knows and values in this world: Steve.

This is the Bucky that Steve chose to leave.

If Steve was any kind of friend at all – if Steve was truly a hero and the morally upstanding person he’s portrayed as, a person worthy of wielding Mjolnir – he would know these things about Bucky, his best friend since childhood, and at the very least, would refuse to leave his side until Bucky had some sort of support network and seemed well-adjusted enough to handle it. But he doesn’t. Even in their farewell scene when Bucky (looking like a kicked puppy) says to him “I’m gonna miss you” Steve won’t even echo the sentiment. He just says “it’s gonna be okay,” as if he’s aware of the pain Bucky must be in and essentially tells him, “don’t worry, you’ll get over it.” And I’m not even going to get into the terrible way Steve treated his other best friend, Sam, by keeping him completely in the dark about his plans for absolutely no reason and abandoning him as well.

Marvel didn’t just make Steve act out of character in Endgame in an effort to no-homo him and create a ~surprise twist~. They didn’t just make him a bit selfish and a bad friend. They straight up made him a villain, and I will never ever forgive them for it.

[onceazzie]

look im new to the life series but what i've noticed so far is that pearl and cleo's relationship is by far the best thing i have ever witnessed. like, there is no in-between when it comes to them. they're enemies. they're strangers. they've known each other their whole lives. these two could quite literally play any relationship at any time and i would believe the absolute heck out of it

[ladywinfeyson]

So pretty 😭❤️
