Captain America: Brave New World SPOILERS

It's so important to me that it was Bucky that said "I love you (buddy)" to Sam.

Because this is a man that was born and raised in a completely different time, in a period when it was unnatural, and frowned upon, to wear your heart on your sleeve and share your emotions with the people you cared about. It wasn't even considered that a man would tell another man that they cared about them, let alone tell your friend that you love them.

And, on top of all of that, Bucky has had such a struggle with his feelings and his emotions because of everything he has been through. We've seen him repress his feelings time and time again, and we've seen him close himself off so that he can't be hurt. He didn’t even tell Steve that he loved him, so this is HUGE for his character development. I'm so happy.

But he's healing, and it's so beautiful to see. He's healing because Sam helped him to. Bucky says that Sam gives people something to aspire to be, and that's what Bucky has been doing. He aspired to be like Sam. And Bucky inspires Sam right back. It's the most beautiful partnership.

It was never going to be Sam Wilson, whose love language is banter, that said those three words. It was always going to be Bucky, and I can't believe it's canon that he said those words to Sam in an actual MCU movie.

Marvel blessed us in Brave New World. Sambucky are PARTNERS, and they are THRIVING.

i hate to see ao3 down but it's genuinely so fucking funny to see all of us flocking to tumblr like sad wet pathetic creatures while we wait for it to go back up

[iinsomaniac]

My beloved (AO3) had returned to war (server issues) and I will, once again, await their return like a sad, wet creature.

ao3 is once again down and i'm getting desperate enough to consider taking out old fic drafts that haven't seen the light of day since 2021

To all the Jayce haters that were rejoicing after Act 2—how are you all feeling right now?

Alfred gets sick of Bruce breaking and losing stuff on patrol so he gets a label maker and starts naming items after the kids

Alfred: I got you a new phone, just like you asked. Its name is Jason. Try not to let it die.

Bruce, tearing up: Why would you say that—

the funniest part of any Robin meeting the JL is that every Robin is so distinctly different from the previous one in terms of personality and vibes that the league literally gets backlash. and like, I don't blame them. not to mention that they are non-meta children that dress as a traffic light and fight crime alongside batman in gotham on a nightly basis. i'd also be a bit concerned. Batman, literally The Night of Gotham personified in the League's eyes, coming into a JL meeting: This is Robin, my crime-fighting partner. 11-year-old Dick Grayson, dressed in the brightest primary colours possible, vaguely hidden murder behind those eyes, never stops moving even for a moment: Hi! Superman: That's a child. That's-- Bats that is a child. You let a child--? Batman, deadpan: You try to stop him. Would you rather he try and murder a grown man with a wire?

Batman: This is Robin. 12-year-old Jason Todd, with the biggest grin on his face, about 3 books in his hand, stars in his eyes and a distinct street-kid drawl: Hey!!! Green Lantern: That's ... that's a different child. What?? Jason: I stole his tires :) Batman: Tried to. Jason, stage whispering to the League: basically did. Green Lantern: that is a different kid, right?? I'm not seeing shit??

Batman: This is Robin. 14-year-old Tim Drake, bo staff clutched in his hand, a wary and tired expression on his face, more on the quiet side, the literal walking definition of don't judge a book by it's cover: hello Flash: Where do you even find these-- Tim: I found myself.

Batman: This is Robin. 17-year-old Stephanie Brown, literally blonde, with a shit-eating grin, eyes full of nothing but mischief and the most explosive personality you've ever seen: hiya!! Superman: I give up. Stephanie: I know, I have that amazing effect on people.

Batman: This is Robin. 13-year-old Damian Wayne, a literal wet cat that will hiss at you, has a sword, the most judgemental stare you'll get from a teenager, ready to jump anyone there: Green Lantern: WHY DOES HE HAVE A SWORD?! Batman: ... he came with the sword.
