i’m not even a Stucky fan but come on they’re literally canon
Sapphic stucky wip... sapphic... stucky... wip... sapphic stucky wip!
(I am scared for lineart and shading. Digital art is so outside my comfort zone ima be so for real)
Bucky barnes is my wife.
Spoilers ahead obviously....
Sambucky is canon in the shippiest way. They're not officially a couple but they're also not "not a couple".
They're either already married or building the longest slow burn in MCU history. And this has been the case since Avengers: Endgame.
The only difference now is that everyone seems to acknowlegde it. The fandom (whether they're Sambucky shippers or not) , but also the writers.
At first I found it weird how Sam didn't have have any love interest in the MCU but now it seems deliberate. I also doubt Bucky will have a love interest in Thunderbolts.
It's heavily implied that they're eachother's love interest. Them staring at a sunset together, them doing a soul gazing during couples therapy, the pictures in Sam and Joaquin's HQ, them throwing the L word any chance they get , ... It's getting a little less subtle each time.
Bucky went to be with Sam because he knew he needed him, he comforted him, gave him a pep talk and then told him he loved him.
No Sambucky shipper would have ever imagined those words would ever be said to each other.
TL,DR: Sambucky isn't canon, but it's not "only a fanon ship" either. It has left the fandom sphere, I feel like Sambucky is an "official" ship. They know it exists and they care about it, they are nurturing it and hopefully they're planning to let it flourish.
thunderbolts spoilers btw!!
I also talk about self harm so just be cautious of that as well
I hope I did the expand thing right but idc what anyone says I’m interpreting that one scene in thunderbolts as a allegory/metaphor for self harm. it’s kinda wild that marvel was ballsy enough to do that but they actually depicted the general vibe and emotions that come with it surprisingly well for a superhero movie and it was really cool to see. I’m normally not this serious but it was something that was really sweet to see and it and sweet to see how the whole team was there for him idk it was comforting
the hairstylists had a Pinterest account and a dream
do you ever think about how bucky flew across the country because sam was sad? isn’t that crazy? isn’t that nuts?
I am BEGGING people to stop calling the new captain America “too woke” bc Sam is black. Marvel needs to earn that title and until Sam and Bucky kiss on screen they havnt done anything woke
i know steve couldn’t do anything because it would fuck with the timeline or something but it’s so depressing thinking about how he went back to a time when he knew bucky was being controlled by hydra and didn’t help him out
as someone who completely missed the avengers tower 2012-14 era here on tumblr, it's been really awesome to see a small resurgence of it for thunderbolts*
i miss a fictional man so instead of talking to someone real i made snoopy pfps of him
