Opera Dress

• he was a 3 time 'welterweight' boxing champion
• welterweight is basically heavier than lightweight class and lighter than middleweight, which means that Bucky was somewhere around 147 pounds (67 kilograms) at the time
• marvel can't figure out if Bucky was 26 or 27 when he 'died'
• judging by the year tfatws takes place (2023), and give or take a handful of years combining any time he was out of cryo, i'm going to assume Bucky is currently (physically) around 32 or 33?? at most 36. (i can't imagine Bucky is meant to be Sebastian's true age of 39 but hey, they're expecting me to buy Zemo being 45 which i don't btw)
• BUCKY BARNES WAS A BOXER
• A BOXING CHAMPION
• 3 TIMES
• !!!
• Bucky taught Steve boxing
• which means that scene of Steve using the punching bags in 2012 Avengers he's prbly using techniques Bucky would have taught him 😢
• he met Steve when he was 13 years old (and fought bullies off of him, of course)
• which means Bucky and Steve would have been together for roughly half of their lives up until the war
• "excelled in the classroom" please remember Bucky Barnes is smart, thank you
• whether or not Bucky was drafted still seems unclear
• also, being an expert marksmen generally takes a lot of math and knowledge of 3d space, etc. so he's, like, really smart
• OLDEST CHILD
• OF FOUR
• like i knew about his little sister Rebecca but i didn't know there were three younger siblings!
• why does this never get mentioned?? seriously??? this is such an illuminating character trait that never gets talked about and that makes me so mad wtf. (like i was already mad they never talked about his family but knowing he had three younger siblings is like !!! so much!! that shit's a big deal yo! as an older brother i can tell you, that's a kind of programing that doesn't get lifted)
• he was shipped out to Italy and was captured there which i shouldn't laugh at but I was thinking he did some band of brothers level of travel thru Europe but nope, he didn't actually make it that far at all before getting caught
• he had pneumonia when in Azzano
• it's implied that the soldiers were used as a labor force but because Bucky was sick he was given to Zola (but not before getting beat by some Hydra asshole like whoa marvel ease up on the boy he's not even the Winter Soldier yet for this level of whump)
• BUCKY BARNES IS A BOXER
