what if there's a moment on the valkyrie, when steve's staring down at the glittering expanse of the arctic, and he realizes - he's going to die the same way bucky did. cold. alone. terrified. freefalling to his death, and awake to watch it happen, to watch the end rush towards him, as inevitable as gravity. swallowed up by mother earth's voracious mouth - bucky tossed back down the throat-deep ravine between two mountains like a shot of cheap gin, steve plunged into the ocean's frozen womb, to be lost in its darkness forever.

what if steve latches onto that imperfect symmetry, and allows himself to find some comfort in it.

because this feels right.

because this is the closest he has felt to bucky since bucky's fall.

because they say that in your last moments, you see your whole life flash before your eyes, and now that steve's rushing towards certain death, all he can see is bucky. his whole life. their lives, twined together like ivy 'round a tree. bucky losing his first baby tooth and proudly showing off the new gap in his smile. bucky tugging him into a photobooth, his arm thrown around steve's shoulders, pulling steve close so they'd both fit in the frame. bucky nursing the last of his cigarette on the fire escape, his profile limned by the sunset with delicate purpose, curls of smoke pouring from his lips the way art pours from the artist's brush. the sun and the noise and the burning hot sand of rockaway beach, the taste of hot dog and soda and saltwater on bucky's lips, the smoothness of his skin under steve's hands, still cool and glistening from the ocean. bucky leaning over the sink to shave, a love song humming on his breath. a piece of dark hair on steve's comb, again - every day's the same old story, steve laughs. bucky's sleepless eyes, his hunger-bruised face the only familiar thing in an unfamiliar country, the fragile count of his ribs kissing steve's fingertips when steve slips into their tent at night, and holds bucky's war-worn body in his arms; thin, so much thinner than he used to be. the scent of bucky, the scent of home, lingering even under the dirt.

because steve doesn't mind death. really, he might as well die now -- the guilt would eat him alive from the inside like a tapeworm sucking the life out of him anyway.

because he's doing what he should have done all along. he's going after bucky. falling and falling until he can reach him, there, at the bottom of a snowy ravine. is there snow at the bottom of the ocean?

what if steve closes his eyes, seconds before impact, and part of him feels relieved. he was wrong, he's not alone after all: bucky's waiting for him. steve's going to be late for this date, awfully late, but he figures - when the frost takes over his lungs and he finally gets to go home to his best guy? bucky will forgive him. he always does.

I always love to imagine 40s nights, Bucky always wasted, swaying and whining, while Steve stays completely sober because of the serum. And yes, the nights always end with Steve carrying Bucky, fake stern face cracking into a smirk whenever Bucky whines or swears

the thing about captain america the first avenger is that it tries really hard to sell the idea of Bucky being a macho womanizer. Too bad they cast Sebastian Stan, the master of sad longing gazes you'd normally only ever see in eastern european gay porn.

Can you believe how long it took me to draw Durmstrang Draco? Underrated concept imo

saw a theory that the SmokeStack twins were posing as one man in Chicago, which helped them get away with stealing from both sides. i'm poised to believe that because visually their clothing was very clearly of the two mobs. smoke was full irish— tweed, bowler hat. while stack had the full mafia look. yk italian leather shoes, fedora etc etc . like the details!!

Saw Sinners. 10/10.

The sound design is phenomenal.

THAT scene in the juke with the past/present/future is sooooo good. I can't. I need to watch it on a loop.

Annie is the best. Listen to black women. They know what they're talking about.

When Smoke kills a bunch of klansmen? No notes. So good.

Had a dream that reminded me, Ian Somerhalder has been the most attractive person I've ever seen in the 00s. But somehow I wasn't ever into him in TVD.
