Oh boy. I’ve been saving this one because the sheer number of things Bucky has used to kill people overwhelmed me, tbh. It’s going to be … a ride. Here we go.
Yeah. So first of all, The Winter Soldier undoubtedly comes prepared to kick your ass. He’s not going to find himself without a weapon. The thing is, even if he does somehow blaze through the frankly astonishing amount of accoutrements he arrays on his person, he’s still not going to find himself without something that will kill you. Even if his arm is put out of service (or blown off, RIGHT TONY) he’s not going to be without something that will kill you.
New data is very important in a scientific study……..
And perhaps most devastatingly, there is his ability to think on his feet and use his surroundings. This is where he veers into Bucky territory. The Winter Soldier was handed things. Bucky just fucking takes shit.
“He had plans today, dammit. He was going to order his dollar-fifty coffee at Hearth, settle in at his favorite booth, and pin things on Pinterest. He was going to crack AutoCAD so he could start drafting some of the furniture ideas he sketched out. He was going to drink free coffee refills until his flesh hand started to shake, and then he was going to buy a fifty-cent package of broken cookies for lunch. When Hearth closed at six, he was planning to go back to his apartment, eat leftover tuna-noodle casserole, and plan his day tomorrow.
Bucky Barnes is a busy man with a daily to-do list in his very organized Evernote system. He does not have time for laying tiny babies with feather-soft blond hair and shiny pink lips and chubby cheeks in their overpriced Ikea cribs, nor does he have time to utilize nap hour for cleaning Steve’s trainwreck of an apartment.
But that’s exactly what he does.
Because Bucky Barnes is painfully, secretly, deep-down, totally gone on Steve Rogers.”
Imagine Bucky and Steve go to Coney island in present day and in one of the games there’s a giant goat stuffie and Steve wins it for Bucky. Bucky loves it because it reminds him of his animals back in Wakanda. So now there’s a giant goat stuffie on their bed.
