What If… What If I Drew Them More Often…👉👈

But can we agree that Bucky Barnes pretty much took his super villain origin story in First Avenger and said “nope”? He watched the kid he constantly looked out for and defended and tried to cheer up suddenly become not just a hero, but THE hero. He watched himself suddenly become unnecessary for his friend to get by. There was clearly some resentment going on exacerbated by the heavy amount of torture he underwent. It was a similar situation to Loki, only Bucky had always been in the favored role and suddenly loses it. This would be the point that most characters would be seen simmering and brooding and either betray the hero and only redeem themselves by death or let their envy get the better of them and decide to take on the hero. And Bucky just…doesn’t. He has his moment of private hurt and pain and he regroups. His friendship is more important than his pride and he seamlessly steps aside to take a supporting role. He never flinches. There’s never any moment where you even see him THINK about betraying Steve. There’s no scene where he pauses before he helps him. Nothing.

Which is why HYDRA turning him into a monster is even more horrific. Because Bucky had already rejected going that route on his own. They had to MAKE him one. They had to force him. It would have been so easy for Bucky to have become the villain…and he doesn’t even consider it. Bucky is a victim in so many ways.

i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.

make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.

spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HIM WHEN HE DOESN'T KNOW IT 🥹❤️

Cannot believe it's canon that Sam Wilson finds the most serious person around him, teases and prods at them until they smile, and then they fall in love with him. Sunshine personified. Makes everyone's lives better. 15/10 would also fall in love
