With the idea of being a black man and becoming Captain America, it’s been a daunting task because I think, at this day and age in America, I think we are open-minded to the idea of having my face represent us as a country, my race represent us as a country, because we’re truly a melting pot. So there is no distinctive look or feel or design of an American. We’re all Americans.

Marvel is giving me some life again. I saw Thunderbolts* last week and re-watched Captain America: Brave New World and it reminded me of how much I love this pairing. I hope to draw more of them soon. **People keep talking about their divorce and I need Sam meeting Bucky at the tower and having make-up sex right now. ;)))

This story is complete y’all! I’m pretty proud of it (and the fact that after two years of nothing. I came back and finished it) so I’m gonna plug it again.

“Good Investments”

A couple months after the Flag Smashers mission, Bucky's now answering Sam's calls and texts (fostering relationships, Doc!). One call, in particular, finds Bucky returning to Delacroix for what's possibly his most daunting mission yet: helping Sam fix up a run-down, piece-of-shit foreclosure he recently purchased. Bucky doesn't know the first thing about home repairs or confronting his feelings but he does know how to move heavy things, so...that's something.

It’s also been beta’d by the amazing @3dg310rdsupreme to whom I am eternally indebted ❤️

Came across this savage gem of a takedown I did, and I still stand by all of this. Also now I’m mad again. Fuck that ending. I’ve never been so disappointed by something I loved so much (shitty ex-boyfriend included).

Pardon My 15x20 Rant

I woke up this morning with Thoughts, so time for a ranty post. Be prepared this is going to read more like word vomit than anything, but I just wanted to get my thoughts down on paper. No one may even read this bc I don’t have a lot of followers but it feels good to just get this off my chest and out into the Universe. Warning, there is a gratuitous use of caps.

So….I see so many fans on Twitter saying how beautiful and perfect that ending was and, I have to say, I’m truly bewildered by that.

 Even if you aren’t a Destiel fan, I’m not sure how you could’ve found that ending to be remotely satisfying. See list of non Destiel-related reasons below (bc I’m trying to see this from the perspective of someone who isn’t in that part of the fandom):

1. The MOW was crap; wtf was with the Halloween masks? When have we ever seen that with vamps? The dumbest shit I’ve seen. 

They trotted out some extra from season 1 like it’s supposed to be some fun little Easter egg. Why are we supposed to give a shit about her? I didn’t even remember her with the flashback. Who are you, again? NM, I DON’T CARE. It also honestly made no sense to feature a MOW episode after everything that just happened, it wasn’t necessary. It was clearly just a means to an end to get Dean killed.

2. They shoved some random family, for Sam, into the last ten minutes of the episode. Sam’s kid is named Dean? OF COURSE HE IS. And that whole father-son montage was so clunky and awkward, I would’ve been more convinced if you told me Sam actually just wandered into some anonymous woman’s backyard and started playing ball with her kid. 

We’ve seen how emotionally invested Sam gets in his relationships and we’ve had such beautiful moments: Sam/Jess, Sam/Madison, (even Sam/Ruby), and of course Sam/Eileen. And now we are supposed to care about Anonymous Brunette Woman #4? GTFO. I’ve seen some people saying they couldn’t get Shoshanna bc of COVID, but give us something to indicate it was Eileen. Have Sam sign something to her from across the yard; IT’S THAT SIMPLE. But no, not one single mention of her in either 19 or 20, after Sam nearly broke when he lost her in 18.

 I couldn’t even feel happy for him bc I had 0 emotional investment in this life of his. And it was all just rushed through so we could get to the “good part” where Sam dies and is reunited with Dean in Heaven. 

Also small note, what happened to Dean’s dog???

3. The wardrobe department really needs to reconsider some of their life choices. I’ve seen tufts of cat hair in the corners of my house that would’ve made a better wig than that rag they threw on Jared’s head. It was so ridiculous, I started thinking this was going to wind up being some big gag like The Mystery Spot” and The Trickster was going to pop out. 

And why did Jim Beaver’s beard look like they spray-painted cotton balls brown and glued them to his face? It was honestly distracting. 

4. After 15 years, and FINALLY achieving freedom and happiness, Dean gets taken down by a rebar and a Vamp-mime. The only way I could justify this to myself was that, now that they are no longer God’s puppets he’s not bending the rules for them and they don’t have that death-defying luck on their side now. But even that is weak. After all his fighting, sacrificing, and wanting nothing more than to chill on a beach with Sam and Cas, this is what he gets. This was a show about defying destiny, THAT WAS THE WHOLE PLOT OF S15.

 Dean always said he figured it was his destiny to die bloody, and that’s exactly why he shouldn’t have gone out this way. STORY ARC, WHAT’S THAT? Cas told Dean, when he first met him, that good things do happen. So basically, the only way Dean could get his happiness was to die? What a heart-warming message. 

5. Dean’s lack of emotion over the loss of Cas was the most OOC I think I’ve ever seen from him. Dean DOES NOT accept the deaths of those he loves in any way. He does not cope, he does not move on, he does not happily eat a bunch of pie. We’ve seen how Dean has handled Cas’s death in the past. It’s…not good, and it only became more unhealthy as the show progressed, with the last time (before 18) having Dean literally killing himself. Even in 15x19, we still got that desperate heartache from him with Dean demanding that Chuck bring Cas back. We also saw him sleeping amongst a pile of empty liquor bottles, which is very on-character for him. But in 15x20, he’s the one telling Sam they need to move on and keep living (oops) over a giant tray of pie slices at a county fair. Even Sam feels off. One minute he’s all “I’m sad about Cas and Jack” and the next he’s putting a pie in Dean’s face and is like “I feel better now!” You’ve got a direct in with God!Jack now, and we know from 15x19 that God can pull beings out of The Empty bc he did it with Lucifer! THAT WAS YOUR IN, YOU IDIOTS. You ask Chuck to bring back Cas, but not the one to whom he was a father to????????? 

6. Even if you weren’t a Destiel shipper, you should still be disappointed in the noticeable absence of Castiel, especially since he was left with such a cliffhanger of character development and was mentioned multiple times in episodes 19 and 20. He was a pivotal part of the show for 11 years. Even if you take out the Destiel stuff, the boys have called him their brother numerous times. Dean’s call him his best friend. Wouldn’t his ideal Heaven have his best friend in it?

7. I’m not going to rail on the scene between the brothers while Dean is dying. I didn’t really get Wincest vibes from it, though I never put much stock into that side of the fandom anyway. My one issue is this was the “love confession” moment they gave us. Dean dying in a barn and telling Sam he loves his baby brother. *SNORE*

8. The big reunion moment we were hoping for? They wasted it on Dean’s car. A FUCKING CAR. Yes, I get the Impala is important to the story, but come the fuck on. NO CHICK FLICK MOMENTS. MUCH BRO. 

All-in-all the whole ending felt like 1 step forward, and 15 years back. After all the character development and story arcs, it’s like they just threw it all out the window. Nothing changed. Everyone was back to where they started: Cas working for God, Dean being a good soldier and dying bloody doing the only thing he knows how to do, Sam being left to pick up the pieces with some distorted version of an apple pie life where he was basically just living to die so he could be with Dean again. I felt like the lesson was that the only way you get what you want is to die. It was gross. It was a disservice to the actors, the characters, and the fans. I can’t begin to even see this as fan-service bc I’d love to know who the TPTB thought they were serving with this garbage. And honestly, I don’t think they knew either. I feel like they were so worried about pissing off all the different subsets of the fandom that they went as safe as they could. *slow claps* Way to go, guys, really groundbreaking stuff.

At the end of the day though, it’s my fault for being disappointed. I shouldn’t have expected so much of a show that had mostly cis white men working behind the scenes. A show that’s killed almost every female character who stepped up to the plate (also, POC anyone? Nahhh). A show that took their one real LGBTQ character (also female), killed her and left her body in a bathtub (FRIDGING IS FUN) for absolutely no good reason. A show that, at the end of the day, is just a show about a couple bros who kill monsters, on the CW, and the CW is hardly the go-to place for real boundary-pushing content. A show that has managed to drop the ball at almost every opportunity though we, as a fandom, have continued to lower the bar for them.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 100 times? 

So with all that being said…

Peace out bitches.

Without giving too many Spoilers, I wouldn't read too much into the whole "New Avengers" thing. At least, I'm not.

The entire thing is set up by Valentina, she tricks the team into accepting it to save her own skin, basically, and nobody except her (and Red Guardian in the PCS) actually calls them that.

The PCS also is basically just them bitching around (because they're all assholes lmao) and it honestly gives (to me at least) that they don't actually want to be "Avengers" and just do it for the securities and because it's better than the alternative.

I will say that it seems like a rerun of Walker's plot line, in the sense that whatever team Sam is eventually gonna accumulate more than likely is going to prove more efficient and better than the government picked one.

The Thunderbolts very clearly aren't Avengers, and I expect that to be a plot point in Doomsday tbh.

Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I choose that over reading too much into what accumulates to two minutes of screen time. I'd say watch it and form your own opinion because Tumblr (and fandom in general) is volatile and overly negative by default. We just saw that with the BuckTommy situation lol

Hi Anon!!! Sorry for being so late and thank you for this! I agree with you and eally think it's too early to panic, I just wish they had went about it another way.

[bottlesandcats]

-" does he always just stares like that?"

" you get used to it"

Just Sam and Bucky, Flerken sitting for Carol.

Why Stackie is the greatest bromance of all time

Well for starters, they’re hilarious, so there’s that!

What I also like is their ability to make any interviewer go “???”, wonder what they’re doing there and reconsider all the life choices they made that led them to that very moment in front of the Stackie Duo, including their decision to study journalism.

But one of the things I really like about Sebastian and Anthony’s relationship is that you can really see the evolution of their friendship throughout the years, and how they adapted to each other’s personalities.

Everyone has their own way of expressing their love, including these actors: like Paul Bettany is a kisser, Chris Evans is a toucher I guess ( I don’t watch enough of non-Stackie interviews to draw conclusions), and Anthony is a joker/comedian, if he likes you, he will tease you, make fun of you and make it his personal mission to make you smile/laugh. He doesn’t seem to like being affectionate type etc, he looked like the kind who would accept affection but doesn’t really initiate it. He would rather make jokes,  hit your arm playfully or do a fist bump with you. 

Sebastian is a little bit more “Extra” when expressing his love: we all remember the Instagram birthday post, his unprompted “I love you” in the middle of an interview, “Why aren’t you looking at me as much in these interviews?” “I want to spend all my time with Anthony” and he also seems to be a little bit more affectionate, and also like to touch his friends (at least the way I see it).

At least that was the situation in the beginning: Anthony, the hilarious guy who had all the jokes and all the punchlines, and Seb the shy guy who liked affection, and adored Anthony for making him come out of his shell.

And as the years passed, we saw a shift in their relationship, where both of them made efforts to go in the other’s direction and accommodate to the other’s personalities.

During the first years, Seb wasn’t even that funny. A lot of Sebastian Stan stans get mad when I say this but Seb was only funny when Anthony was around to make the jokes. I’m sorry and I love Sebastian but that’s the truth.

Now, he’s much more comfortable, and is so open when joking with Anthony and has a few punchlines on his own:

First we had successful attempts: “which way is the beach Seabass, which way is the beach” “Down there” “PapiChulo”.

And now, he’s much more confident in his jokes and always manages to make everyone laugh, even Anthony, “You ready for the Falcon?”, “I’m sorry but Chris Evans he ain’t got nothing down there”.

Sebastian is almost a comedian now!

One thing I’ve also noticed and I love is that whenever Sebastian starts making a joke now, Anthony will start laughing even BEFORE Seb starts talking, as if he already knows what Sebastian is going to say or as if he knows that whatever Sebastian, it’s just great to see how they’re used to each other now.

And from Anthony’s side, he also seems more in touch with what Seb likes and doesn’t like: 

One example that comes in mind is that I’ve noticed that fist bumps aren’t really Seb’s thing 😂, so’ll he’ll fist bump Anthony if  Anthony initiates it, but other than that, he’ll prefer hugs or literally anything else, and I’ve noticed that Anthony doesn’t really do the fist bumps with Seb anymore and will adapt to Seb’s needs, praising him or touching him.

Also Anthony seems to be more affectionate with Seb: Seb recently complained that Anthony doesn’t show his soft side with him, but Anthony disagreed. And I kind of agree with Anthony because it looks like he shares his soft side with Seb all the time. 

Side note for Seb: For you to know that Anthony has a soft side, he would have had to share it with you in the first place!

Why I think that Anthony is super affectionate with Seb:

Exhibit A: He’ll put his hand around Seb because I quote “ [Sebastian] likes to be close”

Exhibit B. Anthony will put his arm around Seb so they can walk together for literally 10 meters.  (The gif quality is bad but after a panel, Seb really waited for Anthony, even though they were probably headed in the same way just so that they could walk away together, top right of the gif). Why do they have to be this dramatic all the time?? 

Exhibit C: Anthony putting his arm around Seb to share a mic (I don’t know Sebastian personally but I know that that man pretented his mic was broken so he could share it with Anthony. I just know it)

He’s also more expressive in his love for Seb: “I love you man” “I want to keep Sebastian all to myself” in the Kelly Clarkson interview.

I don’t really know if Seb is Anthony’s best friend because Anthony looks like the kind of guy who can get along with anybody, and has a lot of friends but it sure looks like Anthony IS Seb’s best friend.   

They really brought out the best out of each other, and maybe Sebastian wouldn’t even be where he is today without Anthony. Who knows if he would have had a leading role in a Marvel show with Anthony if it weren’t for their dynamic. 

But also maybe Anthony wouldn’t be here today without a friend who hypes him up and makes him laugh so much that their friendship became iconic and inspired a multi-billion company to make a show about them.

I think one other reason I like that duo is that in friendship, I’m both of them at the same time! I will tease my friends whenever I can but I also need to be hugged at all times.

I won’t pretend I know them or their personalities, I’m just sharing what I think based on the interviews I’ve watched, so, of course I could be wrong. This is just an observation.

I love to tease Sebastian on his “extraness” with Anthtony (and i’ll never stop), but the truth is the two of them adore each other and it’s very heartwarming to see a friendship like theirs!!!
