No you don't understand how important the gay people in my phone are to me

- just act like you two were friends

- but we ARE friends

idk why I never thought about it, but if we're assuming that this

is the brochure Bucky got at the Smithsonian in 2014, that must mean that he held on to it for two whole years. possibly carrying it in his pocket at first (you can sort of see the marks where it was originally folded), then carefully straightening it and smoothing out the inevitable little crinkles, with a tenderness he'd long forgotten he was even capable of.

moving it from journal to journal as he went through them, so he wouldn't risk losing it.

using it as a bookmark, so it would be the first thing he saw every time he flipped his journal open.

maybe tracing Steve's familiar face with his fingertips, with the odd but unfaltering certainty that he used to know what that felt like. that the memory must be somewhere in the back of his mind still, waiting to be unlocked like a treasure chest.

recalling how, during the war, he'd wished he could have carried a picture of his sweetheart on him like all the other guys did. how he'd wished he could see Steve's face every day, just for something good to hold on to, to keep him going when he felt every last shred of hope slip away from him.

and how, when Steve appeared with his new body and his old recklessness, all too eager to throw himself into battle, Bucky had learned what people meant when they said be careful what you wish for.

just. the notion of Bucky taking this fragile piece of paper in the first place, and then deciding to keep it, and then going out of his way to make sure it wouldn't tear, deliberately keeping it close at hand, cherishing it like it was his most prized possession– yeah no I need a moment

There are some ships that you just know would be 100% canon if they were an M/F ship, and that's mainly what pisses people off the most in these situations.

It isn't just about the ship; it's also very much about the homophobia (whether the creators know it or not) that is preventing the ship from being canon when they otherwise would be.

I know it's been said a million times before, but holy shit, Captain America: The Winter Soldier really does have one of the most epic romances of all time.

I mean, the twist

And the inevitable heartbreak...

The part where everything's all f-ed up and it seems like nothing's gonna work out

And don't even get me started on the declaration of love/'I'd literally rather die right this second than live without you'/marriage vow...

Then there's the pure artistry of the parallel they draw with The First Avenger, only this time it's Bucky watching Steve fall

Only for them to finally (sort of, almost, if you squint a bit, shut up, I need this) reunite at the end...

They really did deserve so much better 💔

[frankierotwinkdeath]

They made a whole movie where Steve was like “I can’t date anyone because no one understands me because they haven’t been frozen for 70 years :/” and then his boy best friend from the 40s shows up after being frozen/brainwashed for 70 years IN THE SAME MOVIE and then he spends the next 2 movies doing literally everything to save this guy and I’m not supposed to ship them???????

[thelaurenshippen]

hey! thanks for checking in! yeah, I know it's been ten years since captain america: the winter soldier came out but, yeah, I'm still thinking about it. I mean, at least now it only occupies, like, 40% of my thoughts daily but...what did you say? is it permanent? yeah, so far

[justyouravaragefangirl]

**My, very homophobic, family:** Complaining about a gay couple and a (what I'm pretty sure was a malexwomenxwomen poly relationship) lesbian couple we saw at Starbucks

**Me:** Sitting there quietly knowing there is a very gay fanfic I'm currently reading in my phone

[bisexualisteve]

maybe it's because i recently rewatched it but i can't get over the ending of catws...what do you MEAN after everything he's done steve is fully accepting of the fact that he'll die on one of the ships and is slumped over but the moment he sees bucky struggling, being afraid of dying he gets up, he goes over, and he saves him. it doesn't even occur for him to let bucky suffer for a moment longer, no, his brain immediately goes overdrive and pulls up his own bleeding body to go hold the falling debris until bucky is safe.

and then after he's done that, he fully commits to it. he throws his helmet, he throws his shield and accepts that he'll die but at least he'll die by bucky's hand. could you even imagine, in that moment, being so in love with somebody you'd let them kill you, just for a chance, a chance they'll remember you. i'm going insane.

[thepurplewombat]

its always such a good moment when you're scrolling through a ship tag in a new fandom, and you see a name you know

and you're like, YES

because it's a favourite author from like, three fandoms ago, and maybe they were one of two (2) people who did your ship justice in that fandom and you just KNOW that their opinions on this new ship are going to be Correct

[not-that-syndrigast]

not to be dramatic but at least 95% of the Peggy-as-captain-america story were stolen from stucky fanfics

[rillils]

In honor of @catws-anniversary, have some catws-inspired silliness today 💕💕💕

Proof that Captain America: The Winter Soldier is actually a romcom:

err- yes, anyway--

[crossthread]

making myself physically ill over stucky like its 2016

[steveybucky]

yall ever think about how preserum steve was probably extremely cold natured and felt cold all the time and bucky would wrap his arms around him to help warm him up and Steve would bury himself deeply in bucky’s embrace to chase the warmth that is Bucky 😭
