yall i just miss stucky so much . like genuinely . i ache for them . they were just so perfect and so obviously in love with each other but it wasn’t so in your face but not so subtle where fans sounded crazy for shipping them either . those boys yearned for each other and you could literally see it in their faces , the looks they shared , the way they fucking talked to each other !! “i’m with you till the end of the line” ,,, “no not without you” ,,, “but i knew him” ,,, “don’t do anything stupid until i get back” ,, “if he was wrong about you then he was wrong about me” ,,, “rumlow said ‘bucky’ and suddenly i was that 16 year old boy from brooklyn again” ,,, “you use to wear newspapers in your shoes” ,,, “even when i had nothing i had bucky” ,,, the way steve says “bucky?” when they first see each other again in tws ,,, like there’s a reason they’re in the top three for most fan fictions written about on ao3
steve gave up everything for bucky in civil war . sure it was mostly the accords that broke up the avengers but steve became a fugitive for bucky , turned his back on his own friends, his new found family, for bucky . because it’s bucky we’re talking about . “best friends since childhood, bucky barnes and steven rogers were inseparable on both schoolyard and battlefield” inseparable ? until the russos couldn’t figure out a better ending without completely killing off steve and leaving it open for him to come back . what a fucking joke . what a complete assassination of an amazing character whose entire arc was diminished to nothing due to a single scene .
every single cap movie has to do with bucky . captain america: the first avenger ? steve finally becomes “captain america” and starts actually fighting instead of doing his little stage performances bc he finds out bucky was captured . captain america: the winter soldier ? it’s literally called steve rogers: bucky barnes . the entire movie is about their relationship , how their love for each other conquered fucking years of mind control . captain america: civil war ? all about steve turning his back on the entire world for bucky .
they are truly one of the best written ships of all time , and i don’t even know if marvel did it on purpose , but god what a beautiful thing they created .
