love you so mad
has anyone already done this or
I was sad, but then I remembered this video of black haired Jimin dressed in all white and dancing to butterfly existed.
listen. i know it's not 2014 anymore and i know it's just a throwaway line and that the russo brothers didnt intend for marvel action blockbuster captain america the winter soldier to become the tragic gay love story that never was but man. having steve say "it's kind of hard to find someone with shared life experience" in a conversation about romantic relationships right before the bucky reveal is so cruel. it's not just about steve and bucky obviously having the shared experience of being "out of time," it's the fact that they've both been stripped of their humanity in opposite directions. steve is a legend, he is an american hero and a national icon before he is a human being the same way that bucky is a weapon and a killing machine before he is a human being. steve knows that anyone who falls in love with him in the 21st century fell in love with captain america first, and that's just not him. but then the one person who knew him first and knew him best and loved him (not captain america, that little guy from brooklyn) so much he died for it is alive, impossibly. and it's a miracle because he's back and it's horrific because he's back under the worst possible circumstances. but to steve, the winter soldier is worth tearing the world apart for because he's always been bucky first. they find each other and suddenly they're human again. and maybe, despite it all, being "out of time" becomes a blessing, because in this century they'd finally be allowed to love each other the way they've always wanted to. like real people do.
like. no. the captain america trilogy isn't about two queer men traumatized and alienated by war and modern life rediscovering and reclaiming their humanity through their love for each other. but. i mean. it couldve been

The gayest marvel movie is Captain America: The Winter Soldier you cant change my mind. That dorito bitch dropped everything to save his boyfriend when nobody would help him. He literally let him beat the SHIT outta him and then said “I’m with you till the end of the line.” Bucky broke out of 70 years of brain washing and was like ‘oh shit he my fucking boo’. Then that shit crashed to the ground and still confused as hell he saved his boos life. Theres no heterosexual explanation for that.
