SABRINA CARPENTER Attending The Met Gala After-Party (May 5th, 2025)

I had really hard time finding a reason for being over there, you know? — But you’re happy now, back in the world? — Hey, the number of people giving me orders is down to about zero. So, hell yeah.

honestly it's so wild to me that sam and bucky's relationship has gone through the development it has, to the point where it's unironically one of the healthiest relationships in the mcu. from the steering wheel incident in the winter soldier, to their incredible "asshole i'm forced to work together with" dynamic in civil war (best part of the movie ngl), to them truly working past their differences and genuinely growing to care about each other in tfatws.

and now they're at a point where bucky dropped everything to comfort sam when he needed it, and sam trusted him to be completely vulnerable with him. and of course the canon "i love you". it's incredible to see how far they've come and i can't wait to see more of their relationship in the future.

Never understood the appeal of "didn't know they were dating" but fwiw I think sam is the one who would be in denial about how much this thing between them means to bucky

Like, sam is a bit "we're friends. People sleep with their friends sometimes that's cool. We don't even always get on that well. It's fine. It's cool"

And bucky is "I love sam so much but I'll just drag him down. He is literally the sun but I can't look away" and throw in a bit of 1930s/40s repression.

That's a recipe for a 10 year situationship right there

wow it just hit me that. bucky said “i love you” to sam. bucky barnes. told sam wilson. that he loved him. BUCKY SAID THAT HE LOVES SOMEONE? oh my god. woah. this is hitting me. “I LOVE YOU”

reposting my fav old art this stands at no 1
