of all the people in stranger things to give amazing gaydars to they gave it to STEVE HARRINGTON

[kitmarlowe]

BAFTA-winner Steve Pemberton is playing villainous media mogul Rupert Murdoch in The Hack, ITV and Stan‘s drama series about the phone-hacking scandal that brought down Murdoch’s News of the World. Pemberton, best known for Inside No. 9, The League of Gentlemen and Killing Eve, is pictured as Murdoch above in The Hack appearing in the public Leveson Inquiry hearing alongside son James Murdoch, played by Jordan Renzo. Murdoch gave evidence with his son during the inquiry about phone-hacking claims at the now-defunct News of the World.

___excerpt____

Doc: Look, you've gotta nurture friendships.  I am the only person you have called all week.    That is so sad

- (THUDS)

You're alone

You're a hundred years old.

You have no history, no family...

Bucky: Are you lasshing out at me, Doc?  Because that's really unprofessional, you know.

____End excerpt___

This scene!!!

Don't know if someone else already wrote about this...but...

Really?  And people are still okay with Steve leaving, with the end of Endgame.  This makes what Steve did, so much worse…. I know it’s not Steve’s responsibility to heal Bucky or to be part of his therapy but that piece right there, says everything.

“You’re alone”

Thanks for reminding him.  He is alone…. His family is dead, his friend left him, and he has no one.  Everyone still sees him as the Soviet Assassin, as the unstable man who killed people in cold blood.  The killer.  No one sees the Brooklyn boy who followed the scrawny blonde.  No one sees the man that was drafted, which was called into a war he didn’t want to do in the first place.  No one sees the broken man, the man desperate for some kind of peace.  The only person, the only link he had was Steve and he decided to leave him, in a time, the world was still in turmoil, the world was stilly trying to pick up the broken pieces.

“You're a hundred years old.”

He is not only the man out of time, but the man who is trying to figure out who he is.  To come to terms with what he has done, what he was made to do.

"You have no history."

He has, he had.  He was a man who took care of his family, who took care of Steve, a man who was drafted.  He was a good soldier who took care of his men before Steve showed up.  He was a man, tied to a table in Azzano, experimented on and turned into something, and someone he had no control over.  He had a history that wasn’t fighting and murder. 

He also has the history of the Winter Soldier. It’s not a history he wanted or would have chosen. It was one that was forced upon him. 

He has a history, but he didn’t choose it. 

Then from what we know, this happened a few weeks after Endgame.  He made no attempt to contact anyone, and no one attempted to contact him, except Sam.  He has 10 numbers… one is Same, one is the doctor.  That leaves 8.  Who is that 8?  Is one of them Steve?  Did no one tried to contact him?  Not even Steve?  He didn’t even try to contact Steve!  He ignores Sam….

Eugh… I hate this scene.

why

[netflixandzayn]

I went into the stucky tag to have a nice time and forget about my issues just to find myself crying non stop because some of you thought it was okay to remind me of how steve ditched the opportunity to finally be with bucky. I'M NOT OKAY.

[ijustfeelyouu]

WTF?!

Why, Russo, why?

[spectraling]

It will forever baffle me that this fandom has watched a show filled with complex characters who have spent their lives dealing with varying degrees of abuse, bullying, racism, sexism, and homophobia, and decided to take the one character who has not only never dealt with those things, but has in fact perpetuated several of those behaviors himself, and create an entire tragic backstory for him in an attempt to make him the most sympathetic character on the show.

It’s just that, Steve has no tragic backstory. Everything is just made up to make him sound more relatable and to justify why they are drawn to the conventionally attractive, white, rich, cishet male and excuse all of the shit he does. It’s sad but not surprising, although grating af to see when people make it sound like he’s some damaged, sad boy that they need to protect lol

I want to read a fic where the 'time variance authority' deals with Steve for breaking the rules...

I really want to see him having to deal with that, and being confronted on why he didn't do anything to help Bucky.
