Okay so this is the closest gif I could find on short notice, cause I don’t want to lose my train of thought.
But you all know how their promise gets Bucky out of 70 years of brainwashing?
Well it kind of just hit me, and if you already thought of this good for you, BUT what if he also got out of it (because of/with the help of) the fact that he was looking down on a beaten/weak/defenseless Steve like he was ‘used’ to seeing back then??????
I really didn’t need to hurt myself like this but oh well...
You’re welcome everybody! Let’s suffer together🥳
Oh, it’s funny because it’s true.
Some of the cutest sh*t ever 🥰

Steve and Bucky + Protecting each other in the fight against Tony
BONUS:
all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.
I totally agree. Everybody going straight to sambucky right after honestly pissed me off. Like ship whatever you want and all, but don’t compare them.
ok so i'll just say it: i don't like that everyone just replaced stevebucky for sambucky after endgame and feel now entitled to judge the few remaining shippers. like i get it, the ending canon gave us was awful and i will never forget about it but those pairings don't have the same energy AT ALL. i am not saying you can't ship them, go ahead, but everyone just keeps going like "sambucky is superior!! stucky sucked anyways lol" and like.... mmmm... no. you were literally shipping them yesterday, karen, wtf.
i honestly like sam but what bucky had with steve will always be incomparable to anything else. they grew up together, know everything there's to know about each other and long to be together, even if it's only as friends. and they keep finding the other across space and time, first in a 70 years old gap, then in the run, then one of them needs to heal, then he dies. but they always come back. bucky always goes back to steve because he ultimately loves him and before engame, steve used to love him too. he would love him so much that it would influence him twice, once when he took down an entire criminal organization and then again when he opposed to 117 countries to do what he felt right. he didn't do it for bucky, but even implying that he didn't play a BIG role at the moment steve took those decisions is just unrealistic. their plots were driven by each other's, every little thing they did related to their brooklyn days when things were different. steve's whole Thing is based entirely on the life he experienced next to bucky. their bond is UNBREAKABLE, endgame can suck it. i can literally name like five straight couple with direct parallels to stevebucky key moments and that's why they, in the core, were written to be together. as buddies.
and i won't sit here and make a list of why you shouldn't ship sambucky or diss on them because that's not my point. y'all forgotten about stevebucky! what really drew everyone to them and how passionate we all felt towards them! im lowkey drifting away from the mcu too, which is cool you know, but i refuse to replace a ship that mattered so much to me just because half of the stucky fandom did and have also decided that now bucky and steve are problematic and sambucky is interracial!!!1!
TL;DR: sambucky is nice but if you gonna ship them don't do it in spite or resentment against stucky, that's just petty, and especially if you're only doing it to look fake woke and poke fun of the same fanbase you were in like ten days ago
