Thinking about how Bucky was The Winter Soldier longer than he was James Barnes

I have SO many Thunderbolts* Bucky Barnes related thoughts

My Bucky hyperfixation going strong for so many years is genuinely confounding to me, because typically my fixations go dormant and then come back, but I’ve steadily been obsessed with him for YEARS, never wavering.. which is so unique for my mind? I just can’t ever stop thinking about him.. he is so dear to me now and always sighs wistfully I love you Buck

“Bucky’s story is a perversion of Steve’s.” I mutter to myself for the 107th time today

I don’t get why people are SO against Bucky potentially killing people in TB*.. first of all, it’s not like he hasn’t done it before in the MCU? He killed people in CA:TFA.. it was his job. People completely ignore that, in the MCU, Bucky did pro boxing for FUN and was a SNIPER pre-WS. Second, him being an antihero in the comics is part of why I love him!! I don’t understand why people feel the need to make characters innocent. Flaws and darkness are what make them interesting. I’ve seen so many people pushing the agenda that he’s some sweet innocent baby that would never hurt anyone when that’s literally Not True At ALL. Both in the MCU and (especially) the comics. I HOPE he’s embracing his Winter Soldier skillset in TB* !! I WANT him to fuck shit up. Me personally. I need him to start channeling his inner 616 Bucky ‼️

Currently thinking about Bucky regaining consciousness after falling. How scared he must have been, his body broken and bleeding in the snow, unable to move. Not understanding how or why he was alive, he shouldn’t have survived a fall like that. He might have even thought Steve would rescue him, maybe send people to look for him. I wonder if, in his shocked and disoriented state, he thought the men dragging him through the snow were rescuing him. Honestly, I don’t know what would be worse.. Bucky, terrified, knowing he was being dragged away by the enemy- completely helpless to resist- or Bucky believing he was being saved, trusting those men to help him, to heal him, looking forward to his return home..

I need to get a physical copy of The Wakanda Files.. the information on Bucky’s brainwashing & experimentation is SO interesting and I need to be able to whip it out and just read it over and over again.
