An extension of a random au I had long looong ago…//and until now i still have no idea what this is…😂 so random lol
The banter between Barnes and Barton in Tales of Suspense is fucking flawless.
A limited run is not enough!!!
I can’t fucking get enough of these two.
Black Widow vs. Winter Soldier
When these two deadly and efficient super spies go head to head, it’s really hard to tell which one’s the cat and which one’s the mouse. As their skirmish plays out over the course of an intense highway action scene, we see a lot of Black Widow’s tricks put to use. She gets to use both her Widow’s Line and taser discs in the sequence, but the entire fight—and the rest of the movie—wouldn’t have happened had the Winter Soldier not been wearing his goggles. Watch this scene again, and notice how the very first shot Natasha fires hits the Soldier directly in the eye.

I apologize for these long as fuck comics. :(
And, a comic that isn’t about Bucky’s hair!!! Amaze.
Also, I hope this isn’t as confusing as I think it is. It seemed a lot clearer in my head. :/
Edit: ARG I just noticed that I kept fucking up which side of Bucky his arm is on. I AM SORRY.
anonymous asked: Hello, do you have a gif or pic of Bucky in the second scene post credits of the movie?
People say you can’t read his expression in this scene, but I can make a guess. His mouth is sort of hanging open at the beginning like he finally realizes what Steve told him was true and that’s HIM and he was a hero and dear GOD what did they do to him? And then he just sort of closes his mouth and and his eyes harden just a little. That’s mission face. He’s owed answers and he’s going to GET them and he may have to carve a path of HYDRA bodies, but they made him so they can deal with the fire they played with. That last gif is a face that is both Bucky Barnes AND the Winter Soldier. Bucky wants the answers and the retribution, but the Winter Soldier is going to exact them. All my money is on Steve and Sam being able to find Bucky through a very curious HYDRA body count that just so happens to start.
I’m counting on this
They’re going to regret creating the Winter Soldier more than they’ve ever regretted anything. Bucky’s going to make sure they do. He’s got 70 years to make up for.
This post also makes the fantastic point that the final scene ends on a very particular sound cue: that distinctive electronic screech that you hear in the film whenever the Winter Soldier is fucking shit up.
Yeah, that was something I noticed but couldn’t put my finger on until that article articulated it. They don’t end on sad music or even a peaceful swell of Bucky remembering who he is, they end with the Winter Soldier’s metal screaming. As disturbing as it was when it was used when he was introduced, it’s just as disturbing at this point because we KNOW Bucky is starting to remember things and has reference to know who he is yet there’s still the keening metal noise. He’s got a skill set now and that skill set is ridiculously dangerous. I don’t think he’s sitting around confused on a park bench no matter how much fanfic writers would like that tragic detour. Bucky’s skill set involves “HUNT. FIND. KILL.” It’s the Winter Soldier’s skill set really, a ramped up version of a skill set Bucky already sort of had. And now he’s aware. The horror that was done to him is coming back and I don’t think for one minute that we wont see him upping a body count by Cap 3. HYDRA agents may have escaped through the net after the helicarriers went down, but they’ll have a harder time escaping from the Winter Soldier.
He’s a ghost, remember? And the main reason ghosts stick around is unfinished business. And Bucky’s now aware of what the unfinished business is. May God have mercy on what’s left of HYDRA, because the Winter Soldier sure won’t.
*Natasha voice* “He’s a ghost”
Ain’t got no gun, ain’t got no knife but don’t you start no fight. ‘Cause I’m T.N.T., I’m dynamite and I’ll win the fight. I’m a power load, watch me explode.
Winter Soldier AU: The Commander and The Winter Soldier
After finding Bucky Barnes, HYDRA tracks down Captain America through a locator hidden on the aircraft. Both are wiped and utilized as assets. It is soon discovered that if the two are in the company of each other, they do not fight to remember their pasts. The Winter Soldier and the Commander work together. There is a natural comradeship between them, though neither know why. Together, they are unstoppable.
However, the serum adapts. The Commander and the Winter Soldier are sent out to complete a simple contract: Kill Tony Stark. But the mission’s face is so similar to a shadow of the past. They fail the objective. The Commander and the Winter Soldier are haunted by the memories of another life, still brothers in arms, always, but fighting for a different side. HYDRA is not what it claims to be. The Commander begs his comrade to escape with him and inexplicably says, “I’ll be with you, ‘til the end of the line.” He does not know what it means, but he knows it means something. But the Winter Soldier refuses, and tries to ignore the nausea that thrums through his veins as he watches the man he has followed through infinite lifetimes disappear into the darkness of the night without him.
A new contract arrives. The Commander has been compromised.
And the Winter Soldier must take him out.
Winter Soldier
In response to the post about Steve’s helmet being protection and Bucky’s mask being a muzzle, I thought I’d point out something else.
Steve is able to remove his “mask”. He makes a point of it at the very beginning of the movie when a villain pretty much goads him about fighting as just a man. Steve can remove his persona whenever he wants. He chooses to repeatedly. Yes, he’s Captain America, but first and foremost he’s Steve Rogers. He spends a good chunk of this movie fighting both as Steve Rogers and as Captain America without the mask. He REPEATEDLY removes the helmet mask, even when he might need it, to remind people he’s STEVE.
Bucky doesn’t have that kind of autonomy. His muzzle mask remains firmly in place until Steve physically removes it. Bucky never does. He has nothing to remind anyone that he IS. He’s the Winter Soldier, not Bucky. He’s bled so much into that persona that he doesn’t know Bucky even exists. He’s no longer wearing the mask, the mask is wearing him. It isn’t until Steve rips the mask off that you suddenly see Bucky start to get some of his own personality back. The second the muzzle is removed, the first thing Bucky says is actually very very human. “Who the hell is Bucky?” He shouldn’t care who Bucky is, yet he’s curious enough to ask. He even words it with some very human sass to it. He doesn’t just use the minimal wording of “Who is Bucky?”, he throws that “hell” in there. The “what the hell are you on, dude” is implied in the comment. It’s like the minute his mask goes, some of Bucky comes back. And once the mask is off, it’s never replaced. The genie’s out of the bottle at that point. Bucky is starting to separate himself from his persona no matter how much they torture him or brain wipe him. Even after it’s removed, it’s never implied that Bucky has the autonomy to choose whether to put the mask back on. People decide for him. But the initial split suddenly shows the growing divide between Bucky Barnes and the Winter Soldier.
CA:WS is all about freedom of choice. You choose to fight, choose what you believe, choose who you are. Steve is the embodiment of that and he shows it by sliding between Steve and Captain America. Bucky is the antithesis of freedom. He can’t choose who he is until the very end.
He doesn’t just accept the bit, he prepairs for it.
He knows enough about this to know that if his lips stick to this thing, this monstrosity, he’s going to bit through them.
He knows that his teeth will break if he doesn’t get it settled right to the back.
They’ve wiped him so many times that, despite the wiping itself, THIS has become a muscle memory.
I cant handle this
i almost had to leave the theater. I was crying so hard at the end of this scene that i could hardly remember the scene after until the second viewing.
I swear, Sebastian could have gone the entire movie without a single line, just his face. Because the expressions in his eyes? The hurt, the confusion, the betrayal, the pain, the anger, especially in this one scene? More telling than anything he said throughout the entire movie. And had me bawling.
But can I point out that fourth to last gif? That’s the most defiant look Bucky gives in the whole movie. Yeah he just takes the shock stopper, but the way he does it isn’t passive. He doesn’t look down. And while he clearly knows it’s useless to fight, there’s FIGHT in that look.
