Welcome home, cap ♡

it’s 3am and I’ve colored this drawing 2 times, trying not to make it too realistic because it isn’t my style but also trying to figure out what exactly is my style lol I’ve been drawing chibi for so long it’s a little hard to get out of my comfort zone, to be honest. I didn’t like it, but maybe in the future I’ll look at this and see how much I’ve improved (or not lol)

retweet/reblog; do not repost, please.

Imagine that that's how Marvel confirms Bucky as bi; via a SamBucky divorce

hilarious and extremely on brand for marvel disappointments, however please consider: the only way they would ever do this in any reality is if they got divorced specifically because of how straight sam wilson is. bucky's actually an antihero because of the bisexuality <3

I wish sometimes I was a writer or director because I would've written Falcon and The Winter Soldier the way it deserves. I would've given y'all the Camp it deserved. First of all, we would've had a really cunt theme song like Living Single or That's So Raven. I'm talking about each episode by episode villains, buddy cop comedy but they're vigilantes, and maybe a little bit of romance.

Also, too much Zemo. Yes it's called Falcon AND The Winter Soldier but it felt like a reverse. And then the influx of B*cky x Z*mo was so disappointing in the Fandom. I should've never left. My man Sam wilson was sidelined in his own series.

Just Sam and Bucky, attempting to make the best grilled cheese in the world.

Happy 4th of july

[loloscharm]

No wonder marvel had to separate them, they knew they would hold too much power together looking like this

wait. so,

this sam with this bucky? is that what we’re getting?

[sunsetmaidenwrites]

That TFATWS deleted scene! Whether you're SamBucky or BuckySarah or neither, something that's certain is that Bucky is now part of this family. When he arrives, the kids immediately greet him and ask 'what took you so long', indicating they've grown fond of him and there have been interactions that we haven't seen. The whole cake thing seems to be something he brought to the cookout with them in mind, too. (Kinda like, 'oh, I need to bring something. I bet the kids will like cake!')Then we get Sam's "Uncle Winter Soldier" comment, then at the end of the clip we see Bucky interact first with AJ and then Cass. He's important to them, and they are important to him. That concept of found family in this context, with all Bucky has lost and been through, is just really beautiful to see. It's a trope I've seen play out in fanfic again and again, and something I've written myself--and it just feels like the fandom won in so many ways in this clip.💖

i saw someone recently say that they preferred sambucky over stevebucky (either platonic or romantic tbh) because they felt bucky was happier not living under the shadow of his former self? suggesting that he intentionally spent most of him time post winter soldier away from steve because he didn't want to be compared to a former version of himself that he couldn't return to? I'm a big lover of stevebucky so the idea that steve wouldn't be able to stop comparing (even if subconsciously) post-ws bucky to pre-ws bucky made me question the ship slightly? or that bucky was actually happier without steve in the readjustment process bc he could become his own person without preconceived ideas of what he should be like hanging over his head. I've read a few fics about this and i kinda wanted to know what u thought - would steve's knowledge of the old bucky affect their relationship so negatively that bucky would be happier alone/with people unfamiliar with who he was before (sorry for the rambling question)

Thank you lovely for the very interesting ask! I love these kind of hypotheticals!

First and foremost, don't ever let anyone convince you that you're only allowed to ship one pairing. A lot of people DO only ship one ship, and kudos to them, but you are not a bad fan if you want to ship Bucky with multiple people. Heck, I got into Stucky via Sambucky, and uh…anyway, here I am.

The idea that "Bucky stayed away from Steve because he didn't want to be compared to old Bucky" is one of my favourite angsty "loss of innocence" tropes to explore -- because yes, that's going to be one of Bucky's major insecurities after the Winter Soldier. He isn't the same person as before and no matter how hard he tries, he's never going to go back to who he was before.

The absolutely fascinating part, then, is how a fanfic writer decides to address this. So yeah, I can see this as the jumping board for a SamBucky story (or any other non Stucky ship).

But this is also a concept that not only fits in well within the Stucky fanon/narrative, it's also crucial to explore in order to bring the two of them back together. How does Steve accept that Bucky has changed, and how does Bucky come to trust that Steve accepts this changed version of him?

The answer is, for me, this is Steve we're talking about. Steve with all his tenacity and empathy and loyalty. This is Steve who's known Bucky since childhood, who probably knows Bucky better than the current Bucky remembers himself. This is also a Steve has fought one of the bloodiest wars in history. He is young, but he's not naive. The people of his time didn't have the right words for it - but he has seen a lot of mental health issues on the field. He's come out on the other end of the war still believing in the goodness of humans (his "I'm willing to bet I'm not" speech), so I have no doubt he will look at Bucky and see that -- yeah, you've changed, you've had terrible things happen to you for well over half a century, but you are also still the same kind soul that I grew up with, and that kindness is what's most important; I can still see him in you, even if you are different, and I believe you deserve all the love I can give you.

And you know what, there IS canon evidence that Steve believes in Bucky, believes in the goodness that couldn't be burned away with 70 years of brainwashing. Sam saying to Steve - (Bucky) isn't the kind you save and he won't know you - and Steve replying without an ounce of doubt in his voice, "He will." Or Steve going after Bucky to save him from the SIT because "he'd have done the same for me".

I think another crux is that recent gif set - the "I'm following the little guy from Brooklyn" speech. That was a vow - it was Bucky saying "I loved you (platonically/romantically/wte) when you were a poor disabled scruffy kid in the dumps, and I will love you just the same even if you're a buff blue-eyed Adonis." Their story, as always, encircles each other's - it is now Steve's turn to say "I loved you when you were a nerdy protective flirt and I will love you just the same even if you're disabled and scruffy and dealing with horrendous PTSD". I think that vow also highlights just how important Steve was, even at that point, to Bucky, which means…their loyalty will always draw them back to each other. Once Bucky sees Steve has faith in him, he will have faith in himself to rebuild his identity in a way that's true to him.

It really depends on the writer, but most versions I’ve seen in which Steve and Bucky separate (over this issue) write Steve as either obtuse, selfish or emotionally immature…which is not how I read him to be. I think he has the emotional maturity to accept that Bucky will have similarities but will also have stark differences to who he once was...but then, time leaves its mark on everyone it touches, not just Bucky (I kinda touched on that concept on my "Learning to Want" fic *self plug*). It's a rough road and on some days there's going to be more setbacks than progress, and yeah on some days Steve is going to get frustrated and upset and maybe even a little defeatist, but I think both he and Bucky have that tenacious survivor streak in them that will pull them through, especially if they're together.

All yours to take - a Sambucky fic

Rating: E | 12.5k words | complete

Excerpt:

Sam is standing by the open fridge, making a great racket with the various bottles crowding the middle shelf, but Bucky’s eyes are drawn towards the floor, because Sam is still barefoot, still has his jeans rolled halfway up his calves, and he looks so damn soft it makes Bucky feel – as the kids put it these days – some kinda way.

Thank you for the Ask! Went for humor instead of angst this time. Enjoy!

“I’m comin’ with you.��

Sam let out a sigh upon hearing Bucky’s voice. It was going to be one of those days, apparently. Torres gave both Sam and Bucky an awkward look and left the pair alone in the changeroom. 

“Oh, hey Buck. Long time, no see. How’s it goin’ with your super-secret super-people team?” said Sam as he rolled his eyes and began to walk away. 

“Sam.”

“Go back to your day job, Bucky and stop bothering me at mine. We spoke about you showing up like this. Things are different now.”

“I’m coming with you.”

Sam stopped in his tracks, let out a long-suffering sigh, and said, “What’re you doing here, man? This can’t be authorized. Since when do you guys get furlough?”

“I heard about this mission,” said Bucky, as if that explained everything. 

“You heard about my undercover mission? The mission I’m pretending to be on a date with some rando from Grindr who may or may not have intel on the lead me and Torres are following up?”

“Yeah,” said Bucky, staring straight into Sam’s eyes. “That date – I mean, that mission.”

Sam narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest; Bucky tracked the action and then licked his lips. 

“It’s not even a dangerous mission,” Sam supplied.

“You need back-up, Sam.”

“I got Torres and Redwing.”

“Not good enough.”

“Hey!” called Torres from somewhere nearby.

“So, you couldn’t get leave from the Thunder-Balls –”

“Thunderbolts.”

“Whatever, you couldn’t get leave from them when I needed help on that mission last month, but all of a sudden, I’m going on a date-mission and you’re here? Do you even have furlough?”

“Not at liberty to say.”

“Are you even authorized to be here, Bucky?”

 He gave no answer but stood there staring at Sam. Sam felt warm under his intense gaze. He missed it, if he was being honest. Missed working with Bucky. Missed their back and forth. Missed having him close. Missed having all of that attention leveled at him. 

“I know what you’re doing,” Sam almost whispered. 

“Watching your six." Bucky whispered back.

“Right.”

“Never know when you might need someone with a Vibranuim arm close by.”

“Needed that last month on that other mission, but okay.”

“I’m here now, Samuel,” said Bucky.

“To protect my honor, James?”

“Yes. What if this guy wants you to put out before he gives up the intel?” 

“I mean if he’s cute…”

“Torres! Change of plans. I’m just gonna go in there and beat the intel outta the target.”

“I’m kidding, Buck,” said Sam. “Calm down. God, you’re the most jealous man I know.”

“You know other men?” he asked with a straight face, even though Sam knew he was joking.

Sam finally let out an amused laugh and said, “Haha. You’re impossible.”

“I’m still coming with you.”

“Okay,” said Sam as he finally gave in. “But after this fake date, I want a real date. Think you got time for that?”

“For you, Cap? Absolutely.”

[shamelesstragedyenjoyer]

Hi!! Do you have any fav Jason Todd- centric fic recs?? I like your taste in Jason's hc and takes hehe

Needles or Pines by Lanternwisp.

Sometimes Little Reds walk the path of needles, forbidden forests are urban jungles, the Woodsmen don't make it in time and disobedient children get eaten by wolves. It's when the story doesn't have the decency to end there that things get complicated.

No One's Son by Lanternwisp.

When it's revealed to Gotham's underworld that Red Hood is the second Robin and without the Bat Clan's protection, it's not long before every gang, cartel and rogue he's pissed off has him in their crosshairs. It's almost as bad as the "family"'s determination to find him first.

"Maybe Mike had been right after all - Jason is a Gotham kid. A real one, assembled and built with dirt and blood and dark alleyways, and he can't be washed clean of what's him."

Ugly Organs by One_Step_Closer_To_Death.

Jason Todd’s love is a wretched and terrible thing to be on the receiving end of. His grief, on the other hand, is incapacitating.

"How do you say – I think when you held me last, your rib fused with mine, and my marrow now creates your blood, my heart beats in tandem with yours – bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh, brother."

Things That Make it Warm by One_Step_Closer_To_Death.

“I’m not ordering Hawaiian,” Jason says immediately as he pulls up the menu for the local pizza place. [...] “Not even if I say please?” “Fuck that.” Jason says, and orders Hawaiian anyway.

All Roofs of Uncertainty by Kieron_ODuibhir.

For all the blood on his hands, Red Hood was never just a villain. And Nightwing never gives up on family, not for good.

Reclaiming Innocence by MurtaghMorzanson.

Jason Todd was kidnapped at nine-years-old and given two options. Work for his keep, or be forced to to work for his keep.

When Everything's made to be Broken by WorkingChemestry.

Nobody knows Jason Todd, not really, but there are a few who know these three facts: Jason Todd is a comet—frozen, poisonous, gas and fragmented rock that burns and evaporates as it passes closer to the sun. Jason Todd is a dancer—spinning spinning spinning on shattered bones and slipping on the blood that soaks through his slippers. Jason Todd is laughter—red streaked giggles ringing like tinnitus in a roaring crescendo that drowns out even his own heartbeat.

And since I know you are into SamBucky (stalker-ish of me to be aware of, I know) here's my top 5;

Not the End but The Start Of All Things by Notcaycepollard.

They keep driving, for lack of anything better to do. A mission, Sam had said, and maybe that's true; maybe wherever they're headed is the way out, the way up.

Guard The Angel by Silentnun.

"但警惕心还是有的，他尝试性掀起一边眼皮，然后发现整个眼球都肿胀得厉害，太阳穴底下像藏了个不正常的兔子中士，一跃一跃���不得安息。"

A Couple Rebel Top Gun Pilots by Notcaycepollard.

That seems to be the thing that breaks the ice between them; Bucky's never really hung out with Sam before, past being jammed into a too-small car for six hours and then two uncomfortable months in a safehouse trying not to get on each other’s last nerve. [...] He doesn’t notice, is the thing; doesn’t notice how ever since Sam's slept on his couch that night, he’s been letting Bucky closer bit by bit. That, as Bucky’s been wondering about the boundaries and structures of friendship, Sam’s been drawing in.

"There are weeks where he and Sam don't talk, where Bucky realizes they've gone days and days without seeing each other, and it always makes him think of the interiority of Sam's life. All the people he must know who Bucky's never met, the friends he has that are just names in his mouth.

It leaves this strange ache in his chest.[...]And he remembers what it was like to pour himself into somebody, the boundaries of their life and his blurring until it’s difficult to find the edges."

Diving Blind by Yukla.

Sam's about to exit out of the page and nag at Sarah for becoming a gossip-rag-follower when a voice starts piping out of his phone’s speaker. “Breaking news on our favorite superhero couple,” says the host of the show, bright and plasticky under the studio lights. “That’s right, folks! We’ve got solid evidence that the Cap and Winter Soldier romance is real—” Sam’s finger slams down on the pause button. What, he thinks, the hell.

I want to Feel Your Hearlines by Notcaycepollard.

The first time he watches Sam fall asleep, they’re in the stupid tiny car on the autobahn. Bucky stares at the back of Sam’s head, ignores how cramped his legs are. Watches Sam’s head slowly sink back and sideways until it’s slumped into the gap between the seat and the window. If he triangulates between the wing and rear-view mirrors, Bucky can see Sam’s face, slack with sleep, mouth soft. He wants to look and he doesn’t. He doesn’t know Sam Wilson at all, knows only that he doesn’t trust Bucky - an accurate assessment of Bucky’s threat level, Bucky thinks - and that he does trust Steve (also accurate, although probably stupid). Sam looks vulnerable, like this.

“It's fine,” Bucky says again, and means, you're warm, and means, you make me want to be gentle, and means, touch me again like I'm a person. Like you can take comfort from me."

"They sleep, and they sleep, fitting together in every bed for months, breath mingling and heartbeats blurring together until Bucky thinks Sam must carry both their hearts in his own chest."
