Not shaving and not wearing make up are literally nonbehaviors. They’re a complete lack of action. But doing nothing is considered masculine because women are not allowed to just be. this goes double for trans women.
Bucky is a huge massive fucking nerd and Steve is the punk rock radical, not the other way around.
Steve’s identity revolves entirely around fighting. Fighting for the oppressed, fighting against oppressors, fighting just because. He actively wants to die fighting, that’s why he does what he does. He’s polite, sure, but never confuse that for being nice or civil. There’s a big difference. Steve was probably applying for the draft BEFORE Pearl Harbor, he’s very politically engaged, even before he became Captain America. He might wear old clothes, but rest assured he would be an actual punk if he was born today.
Bucky, on the other hand, somehow got a hold of a copy of The Hobbit when it first came out in ENGLAND. That’s an insane feat. You couldn’t even really special order it that fast. He would have had to be aware of JRR Tolkien (likely finding him through CS Lewis and short stories in nerdy fandom spaces) to have heard about it in the first place, then got a copy sent to him by mail from someone he knew in England. That’s levels of dorkery that we don’t even have the technology for anymore. Closest thing would be traveling to a different country to collect a specific unknown book. Then, he chose to go to the World’s Fair on his last night in Brooklyn. Sure, post Winter Soldier, he likes to wear black, but he listens to like. Swing music from the 40s. He’s not cool. He just doesn’t talk enough for everyone (but Steve and Sam) to discover what a huge dork he is. If he was born today, he’d be into comics and d&d
thinking about ilya calling shane pretty at the start. shane thinks he's ribbing him by de-masculinizing him because he doesn’t know ilya is attracted to him while ilya is literally in his head like “wow 🥺 this boy…. so pretty. he is. pretty 🌸 i like it. a lot 🥰”
Have you ever heard of brain turned to glass? Well now you have :D
It's called 'vitrification', and yes, you guessed just right, it happened in Pompeii. It is the most metal forensic sentence in history.
Let me be crystal clear with the nerdy stuffs <3 (pun intended)
/The Nature of Volcanic Thermal Radiation + Heat Transfer
Mount Vesuvius didn’t politely warm things up. It delivered:
a. Pyroclastic Surges (300–600°C):
Hyper-hot, turbulent gas and ash flows that move faster than your GPA declines during finals (100+ km/h). These deliver thermal radiation and conduction so fast biological tissue doesn’t even get time to char before it dies.
b. Thermal Radiation:
Infrared photons slam into soft tissue → instantaneous energy absorption → protein denaturation and lipid liquefaction.
c. Thermal Shock:
Temperature rise > 500°C in seconds → cell water flash-boils → tissues explode at the microscopic level.
/How a Brain Turns Into Glass (Vitrification)
When a pyroclastic surge hits, the brain experiences catastrophic thermal chemistry in seconds:
1. Rapid Heating (200–600°C):
Proteins denature (H-bond collapse, disulfide bond cleavage)
Lipids melt into liquid crystal phases
Cellular structures dissolve into viscous organic melt
2. Flash Boiling & Pyrolysis:
Water vaporizes explosively → tissue micro-fragmentation
thinking about the stucky trope of bucky and steve writing letters to each other after bucky gets drafted + before he gets captured. except neither of them are good writers so the letters are like:
---
hey bucky. hope you're good. i am good. here is a drawing of a cat i saw. do not die do not die do not die do not die or i kill you. -steve rogers
-----
steve we are in (chunk cut out by censors) and theres mud IN my boots. awful. if you got sick since your last letter ill kill you. boss says im best shot hes got. thats neat. not dead yet so you cant die yet either. do not die. DO NOT DIE. -bucky

--
steve, i am going to kill you with my gun you bastard. -bucky
#i wanna laugh but mostly i wanna bawl my eyes out over their mutual 'DO NOT DIE' like 😭😭😭#you just know that they were both worried SICK about each other#AND BUCKY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT STEVE HAD GOTTEN HIMSELF INTO YET#not about the serum and the signing up to be a human guinea pig thing#not about the traveling to an active war zone thing#i just need to know whose letters stopped first#steve's bc he was already touring the us/on a ship bound for europe?#bucky's when he was captured?#imagine the growing panic when weeks and months passed with no word from each other#the biblically proportioned argument they'd get in when they finally settled post-rescue from kreischberg#coming from a place of love and fear and a whole lot of barely restrained 'WTF DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING' aimed at steve's reckless ass#eventually followed by THE most desperate crushing hug because they can scream and fight and be frustrated with each other but#but they're really just terrified of losing each other#and now they're both in the line of fire and there's so scarily little they can do to prevent the bad things from happening#AJFUWJGFKDGDBFKSM I CAN'T DO THIS TODAY @rillils
<3<3<3<3 bucky stopped writing first, steve on tour actually let bucky know he got "a new job" for military propaganda that required travel. bucky assumed steve got work as an artist making posters or something. letters at that time looked like this:
--
steve, you marry any of those girls you work with yet? the guys stole your drawing of them again. send another but include ur ugly mug so they won't steal it thanks. im fine not dead got new socks from rebecca. send me socks too you got that new paycheck you can afford it. included tim's bancroft baseball card for you couse he died so i nabbed it. haha. hope censor doesn't take it for himself. you better not be sick and hiding it i'll KNOW. dont die -bucky
--
bucky, still not married. asshole. guys would stop stealing it if you'd stop showing it off. don't gotta show off every pretty lady you got, especially when shes PAPER, stupid. keep this drawing in your new socks. thanks for baseball card. girls thought it was morbid but they aint never heard bancroft play on the radio. NO DODGER FANS, can you believe? thats why i aint marry them. im NOT SICK. NOT DEAD. GOOD HEALTH FOR ONCE. return the favor and dont die also. -steve rogers
--
NO DODGER FANS? WHAT KIND OF PLACE ARE YOU WORKING? CAN YOU QUIT OR WILL THEY SHOOT YOU? thanks for socks. new drawing lasted a while longer in them but then i forgto it was in there and crunched it up real bad. sorry. send another? - bucky
no but at what point during their walk from Kreischberg to Azzano do you think Bucky was finally lucid enough to start asking questions. like. actually, what the fuck is Steve doing here? and now that he's looking around, how come the only people he sees amongst the refugees are the same faces he's seen a hundred times while he was held prisoner? where is the team that rescued them? the fuck do you mean, Steve showed up alone?
and Steve has to let it slip that um.
so he's kinda in the army but also kinda like. I mean technically he didn't even finish his basic training? if you care about that sort of thing? and he got the serum and he's um, he's a captain now, but like a fake captain, you know? it's like, it's kind of like a gig. in a way. actually uh. he's, well the thing is, he's the star of this show, um. they even had him make a few reels, he thinks they're selling some comics about that stuff, too, but let's not, let's not get into that right now. oh, and he's supposed to be on tour here, like with the show and. alright, so he's got backup dancers and they sing a little song about him and his shield is a prop he swiped on his way out and technically it doesn't even belong to him, so what, sue him.
oh. and, um. he kind of. he kind of uhhhh, went against direct orders to stay put and mind his own fucking business? and snuck out to get to Bucky as soon as he heard about the attack? so who knows how that's gonna go down with good old sport Phillips when they get back lmao. hey, what exactly does it take for a guy to get court-martialed?
and he's just steamrolling through this very confusing speech, trying to omit some key bits of information that he knows Bucky would not be pleased to hear (like signing up to be experimented on without knowing jackshit about the actual experiment) (or getting himself airdropped straight onto an enemy prison camp)
meanwhile Bucky's eyes are getting wider and wider by the minute as he tries to absorb all of this, while also tamping down the urge to grab Steve by the ear like their moms used to do - because honestly, if the nazis haven't managed to land a bullet in Steve's ass yet, Bucky just might be willing to do it for them.
