stuck in the past

For starters I'd like to apologize to everyone who has requested things, naturally life got super hectic and busy right after I opened my requests again and my main source for all my shows (uncle earls classic tv channel) is now gone so I have been trying to search through youtube and the archive to see what footage and episodes I could dig up so that has also hindered my progress, I shall try to do my best to clip and compile what I can and try to get on top of all that

With that being said, I'm going to be closing requests for now (I will still get around to what has been requested already tho of course) but I can't take on any more at the moment

I also have quite a few asks to get around to as well and I'd like to get around to things I've been tagged in

Chapters: 1/? Fandom: Big Iron - Marty Robbins (Song) Rating: Not Rated Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Characters: Original Characters Additional Tags: Western, Song: Big Iron (Marty Robbins), Arizona Rangers, Just a cowboy and his horse Series: Part 1 of Big Iron Summary:

Bucky’s metal arm started out as a symbol of him becoming the Winter Soldier. He loses it when he falls off the train and HYDRA gives him this titanium arm and it’s a major centerpiece of his character as the Winter Soldier

Flash forward to the titanium arm getting destroyed by Tony’s unibeam and Bucky eventually gets a new vibranium arm in Wakanda. A major turning point where he’s no longer sporting the titanium with the big red star that defined his career as the Winter Soldier

But Bucky is still uncomfortable with it. We see him wear long sleeves and gloves, constantly covering it up. It’s a sore spot for him. But we gradually move away from that. He starts wearing shorter sleeves, he loses the gloves, it doesn’t become about hiding the arm so much anymore (heck at the end of TFATWS the kids are playing on it like a jungle gym and Bucky doesn’t have a care in the world!)

Flash forward again to Thunderbolts* and we get a scene of just Bucky alone in his apartment and he’s just a clumsy little dork who spills food all over his shirt while reading. He throws his arm in the dishwasher to clean it. And to me that just represents him becoming more comfortable with it. Something that has defined such a terrible part of his life and now we have this silly little domestic scene where he just… throws his prosthetic into the dishwasher. And I think it’s hysterical and heartwarming to see the growth in that
