WHYYYYYYYYY??? Why did they delete the scenes where they show Steve adjusting to the “future”??? 😢
They say that it’s about 30 minutes of Steve’s scenes that they cut off which makes me both angry and sad because I NEED that scenes! Steve Rogers is not only Captain America! He is a man who has had to face so many things in such a short period of time, and all alone because everyone who knew is dead, or doesn’t remember him 😢 that is why finding Bucky is so important to him, because Bucky is his family, his connection in life, the person who has known him all his life, the person with whom he shares experiences with, who understands
And then they did it AGAIN in AOU! 😡
And let’s not forget about this one in Civil War! “I gotta get me one of those”
Because YES, there were more scenes/interaction between Bucky and Steve. For example, this one, and we might never get to know what whats going on or what they were going to talk about OR WHAT THEY WERE ABOUT TO DO!!!…
AU: Bucky is actually found after falling off the train. Steve is in the hospital right by his side feeling guilty when Bucky finally wakes up after losing his arm.
Imagine the first night after Steve gets Bucky back he finds a way to get him alone and shoves him against the wall At first Bucky is afraid to even touch him and Cap gets frustrated and sits him on the nearest surface and sits on him and starts grinding in his lap, guiding his hands to his waist. Eventually Bucky gets brave and moves his hands to Steve’s zipper, then his own and slowly strokes both of them until both of them are coming. Bucky crying “I’m so sorry, god I’m so sorry” over and over and Steve responds “me too, Bucky” and kissing each other until they feel safe.
In other news, I watched TWS at work again today and I 100% do not understand how people do not see the suicidal ideation/behavior in the helicarrier fight I can no longer comprehend how that happens and I really kind of want to know how?? People don’t get that from that scene
I think you hit on the issue in your tags: Steve’s depressed, but the people who tend to think that he’s just being ~heroic~ don’t see him as depressed and thus don’t see the correlation. I mean, I tend to lurk in the side of fandom that’s pretty much in agreement that he’s definitely depressed and suicidal, so I haven’t really seen many nay-sayers. But in general, people tend to think that depression is this wallowing sadness where all you can do is lie in bed and cry, and Steve isn’t like that. The apathetic type of depression (which is what I think he has and it’s what I have) is the one ignored the most by people because it’s so hard to tell. Apathetic depression is easy to hide, because you usually end up going through the motions of life because that’s all you know how to do, and the effects are largely eternal.
And honestly, as a super soldier who already isn’t as affected by various things a normal human is, Steve’s behavior may look like heroism to someone on the outside, even though he’s doing those things to see if at least some feeling can be incited in him, regardless if it’s harmful or not.
I freaking hate roller-coasters, but when I was in a depressed episode and went to a theme park with my family, I went on rides I normally wouldn’t even think about going on, because at least blind panic and fear is something, you know? While my family, on the other hand, is going “hey, I thought you hated roller coasters, guess that changed!”
And the best thing is that a lot of the time you don’t realize you’re even doing that kind of behavior. Steve wasn’t thinking about committing suicide, I don’t think, at least not consciously in a lot of the movie. I think it had been on his mind, and I think unconsciously the thought was always there, but I don’t think he thought letting Bucky beat him and kill him was committing suicide; instead he thought it was saving Bucky. But the unconscious suicide ideation that has followed him through the last years is what was really was driving him.
I hope this makes sense? I mean, like, he’s not going to admit that he’s suicidal, and I don’t think he would actively seek it out, as in go “I’m going to commit suicide”, but it’s definitely there in the background, and I think NT people have trouble seeing that because they’re not used to the background suicide ideation that depressed people live with, which may color your actions, but you’ll never straight up admit.
