Ok, we need to talk about Sam’s shelf of photographs (spoils ahead).

Please bear with me while I put my tin hat on and pull some total bullshit out of my ass. (My qualifications are next to nothing, unless you count 15+ yrs of interpreting destiel subtext and four years of studying Sam and Bucky’s relationship.)

Check out @f-misc’s post here, which has the most detailed shots of the photo display I’ve seen. Props to them for putting this together.

The framed items we can actually identify are a snap of Sam and Riley, an older black air force pilot (I’m going to assume a family member, likely the person who inspired Sam to go into the Air Force), a pic of Sam and Bucky, drawings of Sam as Captain America (I’m going to guess these were made by Sam’s nephews), a photo of Sarah on the boat and one of Sam with Torres.

From my experience, men aren’t often portrayed as being sentimental over photos/keepsakes so the fact that Sam is shown as having photos on display, and the camera takes the time to linger on them, is meaningful. Also, they’re at his office, which to me, is even more indicative of their importance. Sam probably spends most of his time there, when not on missions, so it would make sense that he’d want to keep such reminders of those he values most in a place where he will see them the most often.

Here’s where the sambucky of it all comes into play. Interestingly we don’t see a picture of Steve or Natasha, both of whom we know Sam was quite close with. They were essentially the ones who brought him into the avengers and he spent two years being on the run with them; I’m sure at some point, pictures were taken. This tells me that this display shelf is reserved for those that Sam cherishes the most: his family, his closest friend and partner who died, his current partner and mentee, and Bucky. What’s more, is that the photo of Sam and Bucky is front and center on the middle shelf, which is literally at Sam’s eye level. It’s a spot where Sam’s gaze will naturally come to rest, which tells me this photo is one Sam likes to look at a lot. Why does he look at it so much? What could POSSIBLY be the REASON????

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I find it so fascinating that Carlos picked Good Will Hunting and Suits as 2 of his favourite films/TV show. They both share a similar trope where the main character is an outsider boy genius who needs to assimilate with the institute, with the help of an older mentor figure on the ‘inside’.

What does that say about him?

Please, someone help me psychoanalyse this.

Queerness and You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away

I always liked You’ve Got to Hide Hour Love Away but I never really understood it till I understood my own queerness. And I found this article called “Did the Beatles write the first LGBTQIA+ Anthem” and it explores Hide Your Love Away a bit.

The article tries to explain that the song could’ve been a song John wrote for Brian Epstein, it mentions their trip to Spain, and how they may have had a sexual encounter there. But John Lennon himself said that this song was a personal one he wrote based off his own feelings. Two of the quotes I found interesting was when he said that the song, “[is] one of those that you sing a bit sadly to yourself, ‘here I stand head in hand…’ I’d started thinking about my own emotions.” And “instead of projecting myself into a situation, I would try to express what I felt about myself…”

So, I don’t understand why the writer of the article would hypothesize that the song was written about Brian when John very clearly said he based it off his own emotions.

And, finally, there’s this last bit of the article where they try to suggest that the song might’ve been about an affair he had with a woman at the time. Which can make sense based off the lyrics but I think the song is purposefully vague to hide something. The end of the article says, “In truth, it seems unlikely we will ever discover what love Lennon was attempting to hide in plain sight.” However, if we read You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away with a queer lens, I’ve got to say that the person who best fits the bill for the person who holds John’s hidden love is Paul.

A historical mystery.

I am thinking.

She’s obviously a Nonagesimus because of that bigass forehead. She might be Harrow. Tamsyn’s comment makes me think she’s Harrow.

Also: she has really long hair (thanks Ianthe you douche) and yellow eyes

it's amazing how often I have seen call of the wild and yet it's only in the most recent rewatch I am struck by ray's presence in both fraser's scene with frannie and his scene with thatcher. he is in the background, out of focus, and right there inbetween them. it's amazing. it HAS to be purposeful?

in the scene with frannie ray acts as a buffer for fraser, telling frannie that fraser cares for her. not only to help fraser express himself but also to help put a line through it all so frannie can move on.

then, he asks fraser what is going to happen to their partnership and thatcher interrupts. but he's still there the whole time, you can see him in the background as fraser and thatcher say their goodbyes as well.

it HAS to be purposeful. ray does not push those stories any further excepting the fact that HE is the one fraser chose. HE is the one trying to rediscover himself and it keeps coming back to that.

fraser, and ray right next to him.

"If you weren't around someone, or someone wasn't around you, you wouldn't be you".

This has probably been pointed out already, but it bears repeating that Sam and Bucky are basically the only two major heroes in the MCU who haven’t been given female love interests. I’m talking actual, out-in-the-open love interests. I’m aware we haven’t gotten one with Shang-Chi yet, however we’ve only gotten one movie with him and that was all about him reconnecting with his family. We’ve had literal YEARS with Sam and Bucky and neither have been paired up yet, despite having plenty of opportunities to do so and Marvel’s need to establish every male hero as a BIG STRONG MANLY STRAIGHT MAN. Marvel may be a bunch of cowards, but they ain’t stupid. I mean…look at this relationship arc:
