Oooooooh.

What isn't there to love about the idea of MCU Bucky becoming Captain America?

It's the right thing to do, isn't it? He was the one who watched him fall. (He tried to catch him but he only caught his tags. The bitter cold tore him away in the blink of an eye, with a scream that Bucky hears when he tries to sleep.) Steve was the best of them both, and if he thought this cause was one to die for, then Bucky would finish it. He's followed him this far, hasn't he? Long enough for the bruises Zola gave him to fade, but not enough that hearing his voice in that train wouldn't make him freeze. (What if he finds him? What if he go back there, strapped down, poked and prodded and injected with God knows what -)

But besides that?

There's nothing.

He's known Steve almost his entire life. He barely remembers a time where there wasn't Steve. He once had him to himself, only he saw the goodness in him, he loved him first, but now he shared it with the world. Because of some holy serum; but the bastardized version of the same thing ran in his own veins, and Bucky knew deep down that he would never be Steve. He could try, but he could never be him to the world.

So why wouldn't he crash that plane?

He never wanted to be a weapon. But he wakes up, and it's asked of him again. Be a soldier. Be an officer. Be Captain America. His gun was an extension of himself, the shield of Steve, and he would never, ever drop either of them. (Not again. He dreamt of it, that scream still scratched into his brain no matter how much time had actually passed, seventy years or seven days.)

And then, one day, beyond his wildest dreams, he'd see him again. But this? This hollow ghost? This isn't the Steve he knows and loves. But he slips from his fingers again,

And on that helicarrier, the glass cracks beneath his feet, bullet wounds and serrated skin and black bruises, but he still has it in him - he catches him. Metal fingers that were foreign to him, but still, Steve.

Never again. Never without him.

The agents of SHIELD had all been in a commotion, well the ones that had the clearance level to know that the Winter Soldier had been apprehended. The lower level agents were given their tasks and sent about to do their agendas but there was very few agents that had the clearance to be around the soldier. He had been held in a containment unit designed for a super soldier.

The walls were padded like he was some insane asylum patient, but he was in a reinforced room. He sat in the chair that had been provided to him with his knees drawn up to his chest. He didn't speak. That was one of the things that most of agents had noticed aside from his disheveled appearance.

He looked like he had been through war and it wasn't far from the truth. He was a weapon of terrorism before he had gained back his agency. He sat in the chair, his face sunken and his scruffy beard was coated in dirt. His face was smeared with it from his time on the streets.

The soldier turned his head to the door when the Captain arrived. The Captain had been the first to be alerted about the Winter Soldier's capture. Most had thought him a ghost, few even knew his real name but the file on the table read "Steven Grant Rogers, The Winter Soldier."

Now sitting there staring at the Captain, he was waiting. It was a game of minds. Who would speak first? Would the Captain even want to speak to him? Would they just lock him away. Finally he opened his mouth and said in a bit of a mutter. "M'not him."

Gotham Quotes That Live Rent-Free in My Brain

Eduardo: “You left the military for this city?” 🤨

Jim: “It grows on you.” 😏

Me: “No fucking kidding.”

opens tumblr 🤳

Yeah, you’re about to see them. Feel free to reblog and add your own brainrot so I can see it and read it and rot it to sleep because I’m a glutton for punishment while also having incredibly resilient willpower to take it so I’m gonna wanna read those when I open Tumblr later after watching Gotham.

Anyway, here are the quotes that are rotting my brain because I’m watching too much Gotham:

“I did it for you.” Ed 💚 idk if it’s the way CMS delivered this punisher for me when he and Chelsea Spack were filming her (first) death scene, or if it’s just because I have repeated failed relationships and am now going through a divorce—BUT—This quote stays with me even months of never watching even a single clip of Gotham. It’s there. In my brain, infecting my thoughts. Like a virus.

“FREE MY WIFE?! He thinks he can kill seven cops and that will get us to free his wife? I’ll free my boot up his frozen ass! That tin can lunatic, son of a bitch, I’ll rip his—I’m gonna take a breath.” Captain Barnes. Memorized this one while taking care of my babies before taking them to their dad’s. This one is cathartic to yell when you’re getting overwhelmed by your own consequences of your actions.

“Come on, show me.” Alfred. It’s hot. The delivery is hot. Sean Pertwee is hot. The tone is hot. He’s hot.

“Come back to me, Bruce.” Alfred, again. More paternal, still hot, but add some care for Bruce in there…Yeah, still hot, I know, right?

“Middle-aged…white.” Jim Gordon describing child snatchers. The way he says the words. Idk. Go watch season 1, ep 2, Selina Kyle. He and Harvey are talking to Fish Mooney.

“WHO THE HELL WAS THAT?”/ “What the hell was that?” Oswald. Listen, I just live for Robin Lord Taylor swearing, but both times, Oswald’s temper just leaves him with nothing else to do but just explode “WHAT THE F—” in season 5. RLT deserved one f-bomb for how angry they kept Oswald lol. We’d have ate that up.

“Umbrella boy.” Fish 🐟. Actually, Jada Smith’s delivery, stage presence, and performance in general has stayed with me for years. Learned they extended Jada’s role as Mooney because the viewers loved her so much. This line, followed by the line “Bloodshed, then” are probably fairing at the top 2 of my favorite quotes from Fish Mooney 🤤

“The guy with the thing…” (if you haven’t seen the outtakes, the video makes this even funnier 😅. You can fjnd it on YouTube.)

“I am going to wipe that smile off of your face.” Oswald.

“I AM IN CONTROL!” Ed 🤤🤤💚

“But why would you want that? We had so much fun when we were me!” ~Riddler 🤤🤤🫦

“I am judge, jury, and executioner!” Michael Chilklis as Captain Barnes in stark contrast to his role as Vic Mackey in The Shield is my favorite bit that the Gotham Writers and Directors used in the show, and it’s why especially after finishing the Shield, is why I love this quote so much.

“It’s a new day.” Essen, Oswald, Jim, Captain Barnes, that one guy that doesn’t last long says it; if you binge certain episodes ahem like I do, it feels like everyone says it. Speaking of which—

“It’s Gotham.” And any version (lovingly) of it that the city is mentioned. Off the top of my head:

That is so Gotham. ~Ed

For Gotham. ~ Jim ❤️

It’s Gotham. ~ Harvey

This is Gotham. ~ Jim

It’s Gotham. ~Selina

He should just wear leather. This is Gotham. Nobody cares.” ~Oswald

One of my favorites:

You gotta love Gotham, everyone standing around pointing guns at one another. ~Fish Mooney

It really does grow on you, doesn’t it?

Anyway, next:

“[…] long and hard about my generosity!” Oswald. Do I have to say why this stays stuck in my brain? No? Great. Moving on.

“This is trouble.” Gilzean. When Tabby and Babs aren’t getting along is Season 3.

“Grundy, safe.”

“Well, maybe if you would start listening to this 🫀 instead of this 🧠—!” Oswald to Ed.

“So it’s the box 👏👏!” Erin Richards’ cutesy delivery of this line is my favorite thing. Her American accent she uses, her tiny little claps, her pretty toothy smile—Gotta clap or you’re not doing the quote right.

“Experiencing trembling extremities? 👀 Check.” Actually, any of the conversations that Ed has with himself. The cinema is too good when it came to that feature. It’s still one of my favorite things about the series as a whole. All his quotes need to be punctuated by the 👌🏻 or 👆pending on the quote. Use with caution.

“Edward. Well that’s your name, Edward. Edward, Edward. Edward. Edward, Edward, Edward, Edwardedwardedwardeward—”

“COMPLICATED POLICE BUSINESS!” That fella that does killer impressions, that one. That bit when he’s Jim and he has to cover for his absence. That whole shpill is quotable. But—

“Lee Thompkins. Screw that ho. Water under the bridge.” Same guy. Same line, over and over, and over. “Screw that ho.”

“I love birds.” Miriam.

“Yeah, your dad’s a hoot.” Harvey Bullock, to Miriam. Miriam was so scary, y’all. Why she one of the freakiest fucking things of the whole series when you got actual dead alive people in the basement of an insane asylum? That’s intense, right?

Anyway, let’s crack on.

“Dead people. Alive people. Dead-Alive people. It’s horrible!” Ed. I think this stays stuck because of how it’s phrased: dead alive people when I feel it should be alive-dead because you’re alive first—

“You’d make a great pimp.” Fish, to Strange. She’s not wrong.

“That slippery little sucker thinks that he can get away from me—” Jerome, about his brother. The tie 👔 business took me all the way out 💀when I first watched the episode. They had no business having Cameron Monaghan on the business end of a tie and a deadly end of a shotgun in one scene 🫦 He is fiiine—

“Jimjimjimjinjimjimjim, Jim, Jim, Jim. Why so grim, Jim?” Tetch.

“This is my amused look.” Barnes, to Oswald.

“ ‘Ed Nygma is the monster responsible for blowing up Haven’…Ed, what have you done?” Oswald. I could write an essay (like I’m doing now) about why that stays in my head, but ima just throw it out there for closure and completion sake that HE CARES ABOUT EDDIE AND—

RLT. Another stunning performance.

Sofia Falcone:

“You came looking for a gangster, and that’s exactly what you found.”

“We could have had a great thing, you and I.”

“I’m a Falcone.”

“Captain.”

“Lunch.”

“That’s wrong!” Falcone, when he realized Fish used Liza as a weapon against him.

“I’m going to stab you.” 🔪✊🏻 Victor Zsasz, to Sofia. The hand gesture is so cute.

“Boy, do I feel it when the night gets cold.” Ecco.

“Ping…ping…ping.” 🏓🧠

“I…hhhhhhate 🐈…having a gun pointed at my face.” Selina Kyle. Cameron’s performance in this delivery is my favorite quote of hers. The nose scrunch, the lip snarl, the way her eyes did thing—the HISSING

“I was set up!” Jim. He does that sexy jaw lock thing when he yells it.

“It’s a set up!” Not a sexy thing, but Harvey’s desperation, regret, and horror are so visceral in that line, it gives me chills.

“I couldn’t help it, Harvey; he vexed me.” Fish Mooney. That woman is delicious , stg 🫦😏

“Mi casa es su casa.” Not an original line, but this one stays close by because Oswald reiterates Fish’s same line to Jim Gordon a couple seasons later (I love the parallels).

“Boop 🍸.” Barbara plops a fruit or olive into a dude’s glass in response to the bargaining chip she’ll give dude in exchange for the club. Apparently, Erin Richards did have actual lines to say in response to Robin Lord Taylor; however, she forgot what they were, and instead opted for this cute, Barbara Queen-esque improvisation.

“There is no Ed Nygma without the Penguin!” Oswald says this, however, I do like how it reverberates throughout the episode How the Riddler Got His Name and through the episodes prior to it. Without going into a whole shpill—#teamnygmobblepot

“Riddler.” The way Oswald says his name. 😋😛 The fact that it’s the gayest scene ever and I live for it. I do like the entire scene when Riddler and Oswald are reunited however briefly for Oswald and Ed—I don’t understand why Ed just didn’t stay with Oswald, say fuck the narrows, and ruled from on high at City Hall starting s5e1—y’all motherfuckers knew they’d be too powerful so you had to split them up somehow

Anyway, let’s keep going.

“Honk, honk 🪿.”

“What’s my problem, schmo?” Frankie, to Oswald. Why does this man kind of look like Jack Nicholson in The Shining?

“Did you name your dog after me 🐾?”

“You are an idiot.” Ed 💚 I like the way he says it. Yeah, I’m thirsty, so what? It’s sexy, though. If you disagree, you’re wrong. Go watch Anything For You and tell me that he’s not hot as fuck when his neck does the thing when he says “idiot” and come back to this post. Do it now. Fuck, I might…damn 🫦🥵.

“We have been through all of this before. I’ve tried to kill you. You’ve tried to kill me. And yet fate has led us here, in this room. Together.” You know. You know.

“Y-Yes…?” Kringle…Specifically, Edward is about to think about asking Kringle out and instead of doing that, he pauses to ask, instead, if she knows that houseflies hum in the key of ‘F’. (Which is also one of the quotes that just buzz 🪰 around in my noggin if only to pester me.)

“Have I got you all wrong? Are you crazy?” Lee, to Jim, when he’s planning to lead an assault on Galavan’s tower. (His tower right? Yeah. Yeah, because that’s where Penguin and Gordon take dude and whack him by the river 🌂.

“You need to stop mumbling and fumbling and tell her what’s up.” Dark Nygma. Mmm. 🥵

“Well, I’m dead 😵 .” Kringle’s reflection. Chelsea Spack’s innocent, sort of doe-eyed affect is dropped down to earth by her cynical “didn’t need a second chance if you hadn’t killed your first one, but okayyy” flat delivery kills me every time.

“You’re the only one to measure up.” Isabella. Say it, girlfriend…and then never again. 🛤️🚗

“Well, hello! Nice to meet ya! I knew there was someone hiding in there!” Tom, Selina’s street thug ‘colleague’ who helps Bruce get Silver to speak the truth about his parents’ murderer.

Tom is one of my favorites. The entire scene with he, Silver, and Bruce is just comedy gold with rewatch value.

“Unless you’re fond of wearing mittens…” lmfao

“ARE WE GOOD!?”

“Caaaaaaat.” The way he purrs Selina’s street name.

I like Tom.

“But Sasha! 🥩Far more tender! In my opinion.” 🤤

“Stop 👹 talking!” Jim has the virus and Tetch is grinding his gears; Jim is close to giving into the virus and killing him. Virus!Jim was exactly what we needed to see. If he hadn’t caught the Virus, I’d have been like dude. It’s the fella that we need to see fight his shit. Jim and his distorted “👹 Just drive the damn car!”
