I hate Bucky’s therapist

I may well do a longer post on the first episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier but I need to say now that two days after watching it I hate Bucky’s therapist more and more as their scenes together percolate more and more in my brain.

Where’s the fricking compassion? where’s the recognition that Bucky is a victim of decades of torture and brainwashing and dehumanisation, not just a(n unwilling) perpetrator? Where is any mention of what was done to him, rather than what the Winter Soldier did? Making amends is good in principle, as is affirming his real identity (obviously), but the way in which he’s going about it (that she has at least signed off on) just seems easily retraumatising, and likely to confirm in his brain a sense of self-blame for actions that were not actually his fault.

Why is she telling him to count his blessings on one hand, and then on the other really brutally telling him how isolated and miserable his life is? Why is she criticising him for isolating himself while not doing anything to help him to recognise that he deserves a better life than the one he has right now? Where’s the patience with how alien everything is to him right now, with how completely fucking valid his struggles are?

She seems far more just a government hack trying to make sure the Winter Soldier is contained than someone actually interested in helping Bucky Barnes. It’s unclear at this point how the show wants us to see her, but at this point I’ll be livid if it starts being implied that we should think of her as doing a good job and Bucky only snarking at her out of defensiveness (rather than demonstrating that he’s got some agency and his own views now, which is fricking *good*).

A plot/character development I would like to see: given that Sam is a trained VA counsellor and so should know what decent therapy looks like, a scene or two where he gets increasingly concerned about the approach and motivations of Bucky’s therapist, especially after he meets her (which we know will happen from one of the trailers). So then Sam talking to Bucky about it, and going, “wtf, no, you are not being ornery your therapist is actually awful, come on we can find you someone better than that, I’ll ask around”. Because - and this is what really really hurts about this situation:- Bucky doesn’t actually know what good therapy looks like. He’s incredibly vulnerable without fully acknowledging his own vulnerability, and has horrifyingly low self-esteem and self-compassion. He may snark at her that doesn’t mean that he fully recognises that he really could and should be having a therapist who is, e.g. a specialist in long-term trauma, and is willing to show actual kindness to him.

One thing that’s very noticeable is that the really artificial way the amends-making works contrasts sharply with Bucky’s lovely burgeoning friendship with Yori/peacemaking in the alley. At least before that agonising reveal. (Gods, poor both of them, and Yori’s poor son. :( )

(I also note that if the show didn’t want us to hate what Steve did at the end of Endgame even more than we already did, it went a fucking funny way about it. That might be matter for another post though...)

Toby and Argh

Okay these two are just the fricken best. 

And I know we always talk about Jim and Blinky and their father-son relationship but let's talk about Toby and arghs.

they have such a great relationship and you can tell that right of the bat they have pretty close connection. 

i think it really starts when Argh goes to stay with Toby, I mean look how excited Toby is! He's clearly happy to have someone else to talk to besides his Nana and Jim. 

And he sort of loses himself in his excitement so he doesn't notice arghs discomfort. Which leads to argh going into one of his attacks. 

Which also leads to argh trying to leave because he's scared of how Toby is going to react and is surprised when Toby asks him to stay and this is really when their friendship starts.

In all honesty these guys have such a sweet relationship that only strengthens over time and slowly becomes more of something like father son r relationship as it did with Jim and Blinky.

so like in the episode when Argh has to leave Toby is clearly very upset not just because Toby would be losing his wingman but also his second parent which clearly does a bunch on him mentally because he's already lost two parents 

And then we get the sce n with him and argh in the kitchen when Argh says that Toby IS his family. Which not only confirms their friendship but their parental relationship as well

And just aaaaaaaaah! I love these two so much!

I'M SORRY

I was misinformed that for Ship Requests I could send it to the person privately by selecting "post privately". That was wrong. I have sent about five in the past, that now I know, did not get sent to the person who requested it. I'm terribly sorry for that misunderstanding.

I promise to those who asked privately I didn't forget about you. I wrote a whole lot to make you happy. But I'm super sorry because once I hit post privately Tumblr took it away and I can't get it back.

From now on, if someone asks for a private ship, I will send it to you through your messages!

Once again I'm sorry I can't do more.

(Ship Requests are closed at the moment)
