Misc Gifs that didn't make the final giftober cut

In which Bucky’s totem is Steve, but when Steve is finally there, he is convinced he is not yet awake.

LMAO @ Steve’s face when he realizes Bucky isn’t going to leave without him so he’s gotta do some dumb shit so they both survive

The odds he was just gonna plummet into a fiery chasm were so great. He has no particular reason at this point to think this was gonna work. His preferred plan is actually for Bucky to leave while he tries to figure something out. It’s only because Bucky refuses that he does this, which… Given how reckless Steve can be, shows how great the jumping idea is.

But it’s really amazing what this scene shows-not-tells. There’s a possibility Bucky might die if Steve takes too long. There’s a possibility Steve might die if he does what is fastest and just jumps. Steve weighs these two in his mind and almost immediately goes with risking his life so Bucky won’t risk his. And you can really tell Steve is scared and hesitating but he does it anyway. Which contrasts the two of them with the Skull and Zola (Skull directly orders Zola to risk his life to give himself the best chance of escape, while Zola is not thrilled about that - the opposite of Steve and Bucky’s willingness to die for each other) and also is a test to see if beefcake Steve still metaphorically would jump on the grenade for someone else like he did when he knew no power. And yes, now he knows power, he’s still the same.

And I don’t know, I think if this scene had been acted as The Cool Superhero Stunt, it’d have landed very much like a pointless action set piece, but the way Chris either chose or was directed to act this scene, we can see how Steve is willing to risk his life for someone he cares about, so it once again reinforces the “not a perfect soldier but a good man” theme - we’ve seen the imperfect soldier who disobeys orders and goes to Austria, now we’re seeing the good man who is pushing his physical capabilities not to save himself, but to save someone else.

Idk I just really like this scene and think that with how much tumblr likes the “not without you” bit, Steve’s part gets overlooked

Chris Evans was the ultimate stevebucky warrior

1. “Marry: probably Bucky”

2. Calling Steve and Bucky’s relationship “a love story”

3. “Who does Bucky love most?”

4. “He chooses Bucky”

5. “‘I’ don’t care”

6. Saying that stucky fics “writes itself”

7. “I have a soft spot”

What a warrior

I appreciate this.

“I’m with you ‘til the end of the line.”

THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE ERA

The love I have for 40s stuckyyyyyy😔💔💔💔

Yesterday, I painted Winter soldier in rain. And my friend said Steve should shield him from the rain. So I did this.

Bucky: Crushes are so dumb

Steve: I know. Whenever I'm near the person I like I just start acting stupid

Bucky: lmao but you always act stupid

Steve: ...

Steve: Yeah don't think about that too much…

Once Steve gets over the shock of seeing Bucky again, once he’s thinking about what Zola did, all he can hear echoing through his mind is 

I should have known.

He should have known because when he pulled Bucky out of Zola’s lab, he could barely walk, but he marched back to base at Steve’s side, under his own power.  

He should have known because none of the injuries Bucky suffered in the field took the way they ought to have.

He should have known because while the Howling Commandos fought their way through Europe, Bucky was always at his side, always keeping pace with him.

He should have known because Bucky shouldn’t have been able to keep up with him, and he always, always did.  

He should have known, but he didn’t - because his whole life, he’d been trying to keep up with Bucky.  

And it never once occurred to him that Bucky shouldn’t be able to keep up with a super soldier.  Because Steve was the super soldier, and of course Bucky could keep up with Steve.  Because Bucky had always been ahead of Steve, and Steve’s new body just meant he could catch up.

It just meant Steve and Bucky were finally side by side, just like they were always supposed to have been.  

This hurt me.

And yet I accept it completely.

Not only that, you’ve got to think Steve is going to wonder why Bucky DIDN’T say anything to him. Bucky had to be aware SOMETHING was going on, even if he didn’t know what. And he chose not to tell Steve, more than likely from a combination of issues over Steve suddenly not exactly being STEVE, and also because Steve was pretty preoccupied. But that’s going to hurt Steve when he thinks about it, not only because he didn’t notice, but because Bucky didn’t confide in him. For whatever reason, Bucky shut him out there and that’s going to hurt. Steve’s going to wonder if maybe Bucky was hoping he’d notice and he didn’t. So many little signs Steve just didn’t notice because he always thought about Bucky a certain way and didn’t take into account he SHOULDN’T be able to do what he was doing.

And Steve is so smart. He’s able to pick up things so quickly. He knew something was happening with Bucky, but he didn’t push the issue. He didn’t really sit down with Bucky and try to get him to confide in him. He was fighting a war and time was vital, so when Bucky didn’t volunteer his issues, Steve didn’t press.

Not having a serious discussion with Bucky is going to hurt Steve.

WWII Stucky post-Kreischberg rescue. (I've used the same reference for Steve at least three times, and I forgot to whump up Buck, oops.)
