#but Im still going back and forth about it

[gatorbites-imagines]

Hey Gator, I was wondering if you can do headcannons or an imagine of a skincare day between bucky barnes and a male reader?

Bucky Barnes x male reader 

Headcanons 

I know... very little face face care, im the kinda guy that just uses soap. So,,, this kinda vague. 

My fave Bucky era will always be just post winter solider Bucky, but I know he hasn't been there for a long time, but i also... have not seen the newer captain america movie, and im not gonna. So, when this takes place is up to you. 

Who brings up the idea of a skincare day, depends on when this takes place. Like, if its early on, i imagine you bring it up to give Bucky a day where he doesnt need to worry, and gets to practice selfcare. 

But later on, it might be Bucky that brings it up, after he falls down the hole of selfcare, skincare pipeline on social media. Though, its also more likely if you are working a lot and stressed. 

You two would have fun looking up the different materials and tools used for skincare, and you end up stumbling into different kinds of care too. Suddenly, you guys are also researching the correct ways to wash hair, clean nails, and just your skin in general. 

Being a super soldier, also means Bucky has some higher senses. Not like, spiderman levels, but still higher than normal, so you guys end up researching stuff without too much scent in it. 

When you go to bed, Bucky also spends time looking up the kinda stuff you can make at home, since spending so much money on stuff still feels over the top.

When you guys finally get your planned day off, you both end up standing in the bathroom, crowding around the sink, wearing those headbands with animal ears on them, even if you dont have long hair. 

It's part of the experience, and all that. Maybe you guys prep some snacks too, like tea, hot cocoa, fruit and cookies, so on and so forth.  

You guys apply the different skincare on each other, for the romance. I could imagine that Bucky sits on the toilet, and as you apply the different things to his skin, he ends up shuffling you into his lap. 

Lots of kisses are passed back and forth, Bucky just becomes all gooey and soft around the edges, especially if you guys decide to do one of those hair masks, or something where you need to mess with his hair. 

You guys would have to look up videos on how to do different stuff if you havent done it before, but even if it gets messy, you guys still have fun. 

If you guys do the thing where you put cucumbers on your eyes, Buck ends up just eating them to watch whatever movie you guys put on, after you two end up back on the couch. 

Bucky gets so intimate when hes washing whatever you guys used off you, being so loving and soft with a damp cloth or tissue, mumbling to you that it mus thave worked because you are even more handsome than before. 

I feel that Buckys knowledge about killing and all that, means he has a lot of knowledge about the human body. This means he knows where the pressure points are, and he can massage your back better than most. 

He does it to complete the “spa experience”. If you return the favor he just melts and hums, all pleased and comfortable.

We got skills, baby!

I think this was my favorite episode to date. Almost all characters had nice moments and writing feels solid across the board. Save for Santos, that is.

I can't decide if she's just that kind of "person", or if writing for her is weak, but she feels so one-dimensional. I thought I would like her, because characters who seem unlikeable tug at my heartstrings. They must have some redeeming qualities, though, meanwhile she's... just mean. And self-important. Idek. Judgment is still out, but if they don't make some sort of plot twist with her very soon, I'm gonna go with "bad writing".

Mel was awesome helping Whitaker with his blister guy. Self assured and upbeat. She knew what she was doing, kept her cool, stayed on top of things and did it all with such an air of someone who's right where they belong. Loved it! And I love her.

With the old lady, and especially her caregiver daughter, she came off too stiff, though, and technical. But I guess, when it comes to emotional connection with patients, she's not going to excell.

The way, say, McKay does. The way she approached her patient, sharing just enough of her own life story to get that woman to open up -- that was amazing. McKay is growing on me with each episode. Indeed, like Langdon said "Cassie, she's great". Even her putting Victoria in her place felt right. A bit raw and pain-filled, but she course corrected, because, well, Victoria is still learning. And she has a lot to learn -- mostly things she won't find in books.

Speaking of doctors connecting with patients, Dr. Mohan was her usual caring self and it's so heartwarming. Btw, the wives were wonderful too. It's rare to see someone suffering the way Joyce is with sickle cell, and at the same time having a good life, being loved, having everything to live and fight for. No, her illness doesn't define her. She's a "mom" to a "bougie bitch", she loves Ondine. Their story is one I'm most interested in among the patients, and I hope we see her improving by the end of the shift.

The interaction between Dr. Collins and Dr. Mohan was pretty great too. And here's where I can confidently say that writing for this show is very good (and that's why I'm still rooting for character development of Dr. Santos). The way Collins apologized, and told Mohan to "never change" and "you do you, Dr. Mohan" -- that was true character growth. And we've known those characters for six hours! We never witnessed their animosities, or Collins giving Mohan that nickname "Slow-Mo". Nevertheless, that scene had impact.

Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention Langdon. Each scene where he and YoYo (Dr. Garcia) argue and bicker brightens my day. As did the one in this episode, when he finally didn't let her "crice" and instead McGyvered intubation with Dr. Robby's help. I'm a sucker for his entusiasm and joy he gets from his work.

I loved his scenes with Robby's son Jake, too. They had such a big brother / little brother vibe. Or two twelve-year-olds fooling around, lol. That warm welcome and their whole interaction made me wonder how long had Langdon known Robby. Because it certainly doesn't feel like four years of residency. There's more history there (no, not that kind, eeeeww)

Yeah, I think that's all I wanted to say about this episode. Looking forward to the next one. :)

Quick question . For anyone who has a sideblog (or an ask blog) is it worth doing the "new blog" option thats linked to you main or is it better just to make an entirely new account

[dennisboobs]

plain and simple i am not going to be able to remain in this fandom long-term if i have to keep putting disclaimers on every single one of my posts that say i don't condone dennis' bad, bad actions and that i am in fact aware he's got a history of sexual assault and dubious/nonconsent. the entire gang has done heinous shit. why is dennis the only one who needs to be treated like this? if some rando wants to post about how dennis is pookie pie that doesn't automatically mean they're blind to his crimes. every single member of the gang is a piece of shit. that's kind of the point.

draw dennis with cat ears who give a shit

I once said that I thought Steph would make a great Black Canary, and I still think that's one of the realest takes I've ever had.

Like, this moment seared itself into my head and never faded:

does anyone else feel like they could be a really really good tour guide if the memory problems didnt exist

the ted lasso writers could probably write a bisexual jamie storyline really well, like i could see it playing out similar to how keeley’s bisexuality was confirmed (as in, well duh, obviously she’s been bi the whole time!) and while i despise some of the writing decisions, colin’s s3 storyline was one of the best queer character arcs i’ve seen. there’s just so much potential there, or maybe i’m just delusional

I think it would probably be like just about any other Ted Lasso storyline in that there'd be stuff I really like about it and stuff I Loathe about it lmao. Also idk if I have the mental fortitude to go back into the mid-season trenches 😭 A new season is equal parts so wanted and yet so dreaded by me.

Like, personally I also really enjoyed how Keeley being bi was "confirmed" (as in, it's literally always been there since season one episode one if you had eyes and ears that were paying any amount of attention to the screen and therefore it didn't actually require overt confirmation) but man let's not forget the backlash and controversy that was generating 😭 in s2 people were knives to throat on here for weeks about the hot dogwalker scene LIKE?! we were going through it. and then of course the Jack of it all....

For me, Colin's storyline had its ups and downs tbh. Like there were parts I really enjoyed (the Colin & Trent stuff!) and there were parts I didn't really enjoy (i know this is very controversial but i didn't like the coming out episode 🙈).

Which is all to say I don't really trust them with it but at the same time I'll definitely be seated should there ever be a season 4 and I hope they do Jamie justice with it.

so my little sister's school had a raffle fundraiser last night, and my little sister didnt win so she came home crying; something i completely understand cus the exact same thing happened to me whenever my school held raffles. EXCEPT there was one time i won a raffle! me and my sisters had 10 dollars worth of raffle tickets and we put all of them into one thing: a pack of three webkinz. and we got em! i think we still have two of the three to this day.

but anyways my mom took me to the thrift store today, and i wandered around the houseware/toys section and found three webkinz all at once! we ended up buying them for my little sister since she didnt win, and i explained to her how me and my sisters used to play with them all the time, and my other younger sister brought her old ones out and they played for some time and i just sat downstairs (cus i was busy) like this as i heard them playing whole time
