#this is so winterwidow coded

[911nmg]

🎶 When time comes around

Lay me gently in the cold dark earth

No grave could hold me down

I'll crawl back home to her 🎶

i refused to stay buried because i love you why are you running

[stalingrads]

❝ i’m running from nothing , no thoughts in my mind , oh my heart was all black , but i saw something shine . . .

⠀ ⠀ — thought that part was yours but it might just be mine , i could share it with you if you gave me the time , i’m all bloody knuckles longing for home . . .

⠀ ⠀ — if it weren’t for second chances we’d all be alone ❞

Bisexual Winterwidow

Okay, so I love the idea of Winterwidow being a queer relationship. Both Nat and Bucky are so bi-coded, and together they are the biggest disaster-bi ship. I love them together so much (mostly in the comics), and I love the idea of them both being bi.

[mandyyvibes]

actually wait let’s make this a game. here’s my predictions for what blorbo/ship each ttpd song will correlate to:

-fortnight: stucky. pre-war pining?

-the tortured poets department: bucky

-my boy only breaks his favorite toys: winterbones/htp

-down bad: natasha

-so long, london: bucky

-but daddy i love him: winterbones in like a modern au specifically

-fresh out the slammer: steve

-florida!!! this is actually just me-coded bc im moving to florida

-guilty as sin?: bucky

-who’s afraid of little old me? bucky & nat (winterwidow?)

-i can fix him (no really i can): winterbaron

-loml: samriley

-i can do it with a broken heart: bucky more modern au specifically

-the smallest man who ever lived: winterbones

-the alchemy: stucky

-clara bow: clint

feel free to add your own or tell me why i’m wrong

EVERYONE IN THE MARVEL FANDOM SIT THE FUCK DOWN RIGHT NOW AND LISTEN.

ESPECIALLY YOU YELENA FANS YELENAxKATE SHIPPERS AND BUCKYxYELENA SHIPPERS.

Yelena is asexual and aromantic, and is not interested in a relationship. It is confirmed in the comics, and has been heavily coded as such in the MCU so far.

Stop shipping her romantically and sexually WITH ANYONE.

Yes, even Kate for your gay ship. (Plus the age gap is huge)

The asexual and aromantic communities don’t get enough representation as it is, and only a few crumbs that we do get are actually good representation.

Stop erasing her identity so you can have your lesbian ship or WinterWidow reincarnated. Stop sexualizing Yelena too, that’s disgusting and disrespectful.

There are plenty of Allosexual characters for you to ship and simp over. LET US HAVE WHAT LITTLE REPRESENTATION WE CAN GET.

(I better not see any of you try to make excuses for your aphobia. You know what you’re doing if you’re trying to say shit like “but the movies aren’t the comics” or “but aroace people can date too” STOP. You wouldn’t be saying that bullshit if it were a canonically lesbian character being shipped with a man.)

oh man i can't even choose which questions from that meme to send you lmao. how about 1, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, and 19?

Ok, so for the sake of memes, we'll assume my fandom is just Bucky Barnes and not the larger MCU, because that's the truth.

Get a glass of water, because the waters ahead are salty af.

salty ask list

1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get? Winterspider. I can see Peter hero-crushing over Bucky, and Bucky being sort of bemused and flattered, but Peter is a teenager and adult Bucky would never. Aside from the fact they have almost nothing in common experience-wise (and Bucky has supertanker-sized buckets of trauma) Bucky wants a man, not a kid who can't even buy a beer. (TBH, shipping Peter with any adult freaks me the fuck out, sorry. I get why people do it, but it squicks me hardcore.)

4. Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP? I really don't like reading Winterwidow. I know Bucky and Nat are a canon love affair in the comics (which I don't read), but if I'm gonna imagine any woman in Bucky Barnes' bed, it's gonna be me.

7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now? When I first jumped in less than a year ago, I was enjoying a fic that DID-style separated the Winter Soldier and Bucky, and heavily woobied TWS persona. Now I'll whump the ever-living fuck out of the Soldier and adore him traumatized to the point of barely functioning, but I don't like reading him infantilized or having other characters woobie him. And I think having a dissociated identity Bucky has to be done with careful nuance now that I'm a *cough* discerning reader. *nose in the air, lol*

9. Most disliked character(s)? Why? It's a toss-up between Tony Stark and Peggy Carter. I've explained my Tony hatred elsewhere. Peggy employed and worked beside Armin Zola knowing that he experimented on and tortured Bucky. You can't tell me that a smart, driven woman at the head of her own spy ring didn't have some inkling that the Winter Soldier project was going on and couldn't put two-and-two together.

10. Most disliked arc? Why? FUCK. YOU. ENDGAME-STEVEN. No explanation needed. 11. Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why? I'm with the rest of the trash squad in celebrating the Karpov renaissance! I don't think he's popular outside of our little circle and it's a shame. His bond with the Winter Soldier makes him a great character to explore. He kept the code book, which indicates deliberate sabotage of the American team when they came to claim his weapon after the fall of the USSR. Or maybe he just wanted to keep the only piece of the Soldier he could lay claim to. 12. Is there an unpopular arc that you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why? I mean, if you count "the fandom" as the wider group beyond HTP, than probably all the trash I adore would fit here. 17. Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen… Oooooooh, boy. Um. I would rewrite Bucky's storyline in TFATWS. I would make his therapist explicitly a HYDRA sleeper agent employed by T. Ross to keep Bucky guilt-ridden and isolated so that he feels compelled to become the gov't's asset. John Walker would be groomed to be Bucky's new handler (blond, blue-eyed, Captain America). The fight against the Flagsmashers would start as a simple investigation into the super-serum that evolves into a world-spanning plot to destabilize countries just starting to get back on their feet after the second Snap, with the HYDRA-owned GRC poised to swoop in and seize full power. Bucky would be manipulated by judicious exposure of his trash past into serving HYDRA again only to be revealed in the climax as having manipulated them so that he could get close enough to the bad guy leaders to take them down. There'd be a truly vicious fight that calls upon every ounce of his deadly skill and capabilities so that he finally sees that while he may still be a weapon, he can aim himself now and fight for a cause he believes in. And then Steve would come back from the moon and they'd fuck onscreen. 19. What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom? Antis and purity police. Just let me enjoy my trash porn in peace, asshats. I guess the second thing would be the actual MCU writers, who managed to take vibrant characters and a strong narrative arc and no homo them into utter ruin and ooc behavior.

bucky for character headcanons

Ugh, Bucky is my baby. Thank you for this.

Sexuality headcanon: I usually headcanon Bucky as fully gay, although depending what I’m writing sometimes I’ll write him as bi, and every once in a while I even write him as ace-homoro. However, my favorite headcanon is gay!Bucky.

OTP: STUCKY STUCKY STUCKY! They have so much history and so much chemistry and they’re just so sweet to each other. And Steve wants to protect Bucky and Bucky cares so much about Steve- I could go on.

BrOTP: WinterIron, definitely. I love to explore the brotherly dynamic between Bucky and Tony in my fic (I currently have a human!coffee shop!AU rp going where they’re adoptive brothers) because I love the antagonism but also the idea that they really care about each other under it all.

NOTP: WinterWidow. They’re Russian assassin best friends who roast their other friends in six foreign languages and they kick bad guy ass with their thighs together, but never in a million years would either of them get together. *cough*they’rebothtoogay*cough*

First headcanon I think of: I have this headcanon that while Bucky was in the 107th he had a letter from Steve that he used to kiss before he’d go to bed every night, and then one day he looked at the letter and the handwriting was no longer familiar, the name no longer correct, the secret codes no longer accessible. And he felt vaguely like he should know those things but he didn’t, so instead he tossed the letter into the fire, and then years later he woke up in bed next to Steve breathing hard realizing that’s what felt off all these years and he tearfully confessed to Steve what he’d done and- fuck I made myself cry.

One way I relate: I’ve been that guy who didn’t know where he was or who he was, kind of lost in a sea of strangers and people who think they know who I am when I don’t even know who I am. I always related so hard to Bucky’s storyline because ultimately it’s about discovering your identity, whether that’s a queer identity or mental illnesses or just what you’re passionate about. And as a person who’s discovered all of this things time and again, it hits me really hard.

Thing that gives me secondhand embarrassment: kinda specific but that look he gives in TWS when he’s about to punch Steve’s lights out. His eyes are insane and his hair is wild and flying everywhere and I know that’s just Seb Stan’s incredible acting but it still makes me cringe every time because it’s so vulnerable and scared and idk, I just don’t like it.

Cinnamon roll or problematic fav: Bucky’s a cinnamon roll, and honestly I know some people think he’s a monster but they can meet me in the Denny’s parking lot at 3 (on the dot, don’t be late for our duel you fucking cowards) because he. is. a. CINNAMON. ROLL. Yeah, he did a lot of bad shit, but he did it under the influence of mind control and brainwashing and he genuinely felt remorse for it once the mind control and brainwashing were gone. He’s great.
