July 4, 1918 - Steven Grant Rogers is born, and somewhere in Brooklyn Bucky's mother wept . . .
Lots of GIFs to help the reader, as well as facts like this:
“PS: Bucky is not an orphan in the MCU:
So either Bucky was working like a damn dog supporting his family, in which case the fuck are you doing in an art class, kiddo? Or he was actually a student at a college or university. He could also have, during the years the US was gearing up in case they were forced into the conflict, held a job that was considered vital to the coming war effort. This sort of deferment was limited to jobs in war production, and jobs that involved national 'health, safety, or interest'. In the Ultimates (I think) comics, Bucky was a photographer before the war. It's still all point and shoot lol anyway. Literally the only job I can think of that Bucky could have been in where he would have been skipped the first few times but taken in '42, is if he had been a police officer. That would fit very well with his ability with a gun, plus explain why he made sergeant so fucking fast, with prior training other inductees would not have had. Considering what a golden child Bucky was in Brooklyn, all three of those scenarios would be a perfectly valid reason for Bucky to have avoided the first several waves of conscription. Just thought that was interesting.”

Poster’s note:
Because this is a time line, there really isn’t an end until the train hits the last station (c’mon, you gotta know the metaphor!). @mandarou is a historian as well as a Stucky fan, and the information they share is super useful for anyone who ships them, whether they’re writing a work or trying to figure out when something happened and why. ♥♥♥ @smlmsworld
