i mostly see ppl write bucky finding out steve "died" crashing the plane as the moment he gives up on survival and often a moment he feels genuine anger at steve for 'abandoning him' but i think it could be interesting to explore it as a moment of horrific guilt and vindication?

bucky feeling confused and lost about his place in steve's life post-serum and then finding out that within a month of his death steve immediately fucking dies. steve did still need him, even after everything. he feels a brief moment of vindication, of almost relief at their codependency being mutual, and then he's overwhelmed with guilt for that feeling and for 'failing steve'. he wasn't there and steve died. he blames himself for it.

steve post winter-soldier trying to apologize for not being there for bucky when he needed him, and bucky just like 'no i was the one who wasn't there for you. i don't remember much but i remember feeling like i'd let you down'. just two assholes who hold themselves to an impossible fucking standard

much appreciation for people who create ocs that are clearly derivative of The Character because even if the inspiration is clear, they had the self awareness that their headcanons had snowballed so far past character analysis into pure self indulgence that there was very little of source material left. and that’s beautiful. sometimes when you’re preoccupied playing touys it’s hard to take a step back and realize you’ve actually created something wonderful and new

its nto gay if hes blonde everyone knows that fuckhead

stucky au where actually nobody ever gave steve the talk on modern vocab politics, so he's using every gay slur in the books. & the immediate response to this is JESUS CHRIST DUDE YOU CAN'T BE SAYING THAT SHIT...which steve takes not as a "do not call that obviously gay man a fairy", but instead, "it's still considered very rude to talk about anything Gay."

this ends in a real car crash of an avengers press conference once bucky is back, were steve is getting interrogated on why he never told the public he was dating bucky/the winter soldier until footage got out.

& steve, completely sincere, goes "the other avengers insisted it was inappropriate and wrong. They said it could be a bad influence on children if i spoke about it publicly. in an effort to maintain our working relationships, i complied with keeping that aspect of my life private."

happy pride to this version of steve specifically

[wirelessmousegirl]

Your just saying that because your a sick pervert who gets off to themes and ideas

Hiya, if you’re okay with telling, what’s your Ao3 account? Your Steve + Bucky characterization (i.e. paragon of good + kind of jerky obsessed guy) perfectly matches with mine and I really want to stalk your bookmarks.

∧,,,∧ (  ̳• · • ̳) /    づ♡

tragically i use bookmarks less as a "i think this fanfic is good" and more as a "i read this fanfic and some aspect of it appealed to me" which are very different things. a lot of the stucky fanfics i have bookmarked are only saved bc i like the concept and not the execution; or because there was a singular scene or character decision i found interesting. truly i bookmark for the smallest of causes because there are 10000 stucky fics in the world, so if i ever think, like, "oh damn, wheres that ghost bucky fic that really mischaracterized steve and had a bland ending but handled bucky's death in a neat way" i can find it again. (i just made that example up, i am trying very hard to not dunk on any actual fics!)

of course i do also have a lot of fics bookmarked because they're genuinely very good but, y'know, its all mixed together. so my bookmarks would be of no use to you unfortunately

I fucking love when people give in-universe reasons for omegaverse shenanigans being a relatively new phenomenon and not just a fact of life. And this is probably my favorite out of all of them. Insane choice, and I want to kiss the author sloppy style about it.

As we all know, the Spanish Flu caused the omegaverse. Iconic.

[brawlite]

i don't want to actually write a fic, i want to create a gross scenario that i can roll around in for forever, like a dog in a bad smell. you feel me?

[brawlite]

i want to marinate in the vibes. but like this, you feel me ?:

[t00thpasteface]

i think the corollary to the essential stucky plot beat of "bucky doesn't understand/accept women not being attracted to steve" for the transmasc steve au is bucky assuming every other man in town wants his mean little ugly rat wife carnally. which is of course patently untrue, but it won't stop bucky from being sick with paranoia and jealousy. bucky is unfortunately finally proven right after the serum and steve can no longer blow off the paranoia as irrational. from that point on bucky is open-carrying to make sure nobody makes a move on his giant rat husband. this behavior gets worse post-hydra now that bucky has had his shame cortex surgically removed and will stare down other superheroes about it unflinchingly

[t00thpasteface]

@doveywovy YOU UNDERSTAND MY VISION

pre war bucky has his entire ego and masculinity wrapped up being unhealthily codependent with his wife... post hydra bucky has literally nothing in this world anymore besides steve and will fight like a starving dog to make sure nobody takes that last good thing away

[doveywovy]

there is something a little funny about mostly reading educational books for fun bc it means im packing for my Peaceful Lake Vacation and trying to decide if i want to read An Indigenous History of the United States or a history of unions in the united states or maybe i should reread my ww2 nurses book, all of which are i am sure are some light summer readings that won't make me break down sobbing lakeside

[drumlincountry]

The thing about Ryland Grace and Eva Stratt's dynamic is that they're very much "leopard who eats peoples faces" x "guy who claims not to endorse this but has hung out with the leopard for years and when she eats people's faces he's like 'ah yeah she does that ☺️💫✨'."

[doveywovy]

going to watch the avengers for the first time since like 2015 so everyone prepare yourselves

[doveywovy]

forgot how good the music is. also amazing seeing the roots of all the avengers fic trope stuff. DEEPLY funny how quickly hawkeye gets mindcontrolled, its like. immediate.

this loki dialogue between him and fury is crazy bc it veers betwixt genuinely pretty interesting and horrifically clunky at random

i hope i see my beautiful specialist boy soon <3

Going into the Project Hail Mary tag to discover that it's all yaoi of Grace and some random guy was kind of bewildering because first of all I'm pretty sure that guy wasn't even in the movie and second of all the crab is right there

[laikathestar]

i think people should be able to block whoever for whatever reasons & its becoming increasingly bizarre that people are citing blocking people on social media as like, part of why they should be cancelled
