wow steve and bucky really are each other’s parallels aren’t they. they really said childhood best friends isn’t enough, i’m gonna move in with you. that’s not enough either, i’m going to war with you. you know what, that’s still not enough, i’m gonna die for you, become a weapon just like you, follow you into a future neither of us could’ve imagined, and find my way home. to you

you guys really need to stop saying that people don't contribute to a fandom unless they're making fanart or writing fanfics or doing something creative where the final output is "content".

i've seen enough posts parroting this sentiment that makes me believe it's not just one person's dumb take, but a growing belief and that boggles my mind.

commenting, engaging, encouraging, and yes, even geeking out about your favorite artist or your favorite fic IS contributing to a fandom. it is vital to the general fandom ecosystem, the way creating and sharing fanworks is!

One kiss to relieve the curse….

post catws divergent au where Bucky is on the run on his own and has to use disguises and fucks with his hair and pierces his ear and stuff to look less like the winter soldier

I do think the ability to emoji-react is a net win for human communication. not only does it give you an outlet for 'I see and acknowledge this but don't have a verbal response' but it also adds a pleasing alethiometer element to things

my coworker announces that he's off to the dentist. someone reacts with a tooth emoji. is this a statement of dentist solidarity? a wish for my coworker to return with more (or fewer?) teeth than he set out with? simple word association? who can say

[softness-and-shattering]

Friend of mine calls it active listening. Ah yes we are speaking of tooths. I understand and respond. Here it a tooth image. I have heard you.

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

[podcastwizard]

lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.

Oh my goodness. I have discovered the 1945 US Army pamphlet for soldiers discharged on account of developing psychological difficulties, especially anxiety. I’m not even sure how to summarize this, honestly. Check it out.

[wintercyan]

Highly relevant for fanworks featuring Steve and/or Bucky dealing with PTSD; even if they didn’t read this particular pamphlet (it was published August 6, 1945, months after they both “died”), it illustrates the contemporary understanding of “combat fatigue”. Interestingly, the pamphlet’s dos and don’ts section recommends soldiers with “psychoneurosis” to:

Pound a punching bag.

Take regular exercise. Set your own pace but be sure to do something which will take you out of doors.

Find someone who understands your situation. The best person is another veteran who has been through the same things you have.

A Rainy Rescue 🌧️

Written for @ministuckybingo round 1 for square M1: Rainy Weather

The rain has started falling in earnest when Bucky comes through the door, soaking wet and clutching his jacket to his chest. Steve's about to ask why he isn't wearing it when, slightly worryingly, the bundle starts moving.

"Whatcha got there Buck?" he asks, mind already running through threat assessments, when a rather soggy-looking cat pokes its head out from its makeshift blanket, white fur sticking up in all directions and blue eyes glaring at him balefully. As if he is personally to blame for its current predicament.

He looks back to Bucky, who offers him a sheepish smile.

"…Surprise?"

I know we’re always talking about the beauty of the serum not having cured Steve of his queerness because it was never an illness to begin with. But we’re actively missing out on the hilarity of the serum having turned him queer instead

Steve, pre serum: huh, Peggy is hot. Those women we went on dates with were all hot and Bucky shoulda shared

Steve, post serum: how much can I pay Howard to fuck me? Lorraine, fuck off, I’m trying to suck Bucky’s dick here

And that's it, that's those little...brave baby steps we gotta take. To try and...become whole again, try and find purpose. But you gotta move on. You gotta move on.
