There's going to come a day when we've all grown up, had a career, maybe got married and had kids, when were all going about our daily routine. Maybe you're driving to work with the car radio on, or you're making dinner with the tv on in the lounge. Life as usual, and then we hear a name. It's the name of the person you had a blog dedicated to when you were 16. The person you had posters of up on your bedroom wall, or as your desktop background. The person off that show you used to watch every week, as soon as it came out, or that band you used to love. The person from the cast of a movie that changed your life, or the character who you scrolled through page after page of fanfiction of. You haven't heard that name in a long time, and it brings everything back. And then the name is followed by three words you thought you'd never hear. Has Passed Away. And then you put down the potato peeler and lean back against your kitchen bench, or you pull over to the side of the road, and tears are streaming down your face. And all over the world, there are people who used to be just like you, with tears marking their cheeks and sobs forcing their way out of their throat, because they remember. Because fandoms never really die out. We never really move on. We never really forget.

Fandom is such a weird place. Like I watched a tv show and thought “wow, these two nerds have a lot of chemistry and I’d like to dedicate a large chunk of my life to thinking about them” so I went in search of other people who also thought these two nerds had a lot of chemistry and then it turned out that a shit ton of people were talking about these two nerds having a lot of chemistry and now it’s 4 years later and we write each other porn on holidays.

sorry
Hmm what shall my new hyper fixation be?
Will it be a book? A movie? A game? A TV show I’ll binge watch in a day and then grieve for like a lost family member?
Maybe it’ll be a new useless skill I’ll feel the intense urge to master, or an obscure topic that I’ll obsessively learn everything about.
Who knows! The only thing for certain is that I’ll dedicate too much time and effort into it for the next few weeks, whilst neglecting all my responsibilities and fragile social life, just to fill the void and finally feel a sense of purpose and achievement, before inevitably forgetting all about it and starting again. What fun!

I wanted to draw the winter soldier for years but never dared to, I thought I’d definitely mess it up. Late to the party as always, but I finally dared to do it 😊
This one is based on a photo that Sebastian Stan took by chance prior to the Civil War film, having no idea what’s about to come :> I thought it’s wonderfully angsty 😌💅

Guys can we talk about how TFATWS did Bucky kinda dirty?
Like I get what they were going for and I think they got a lot of things right, but how they handled Bucky’s survivors guilt kind of rubs me the wrong way.
E.g. how Sam says he should ‘be of service’ to the victims of the WS… just kind of implies Bucky bears some responsibility when he was literally tortured and brainwashed for 70 years and didn’t have a modicum of control.
Like I know it could provide some closure for him, to help the victims, but like.. putting himself through that kind of emotional turmoil and dedicating the rest of his life - that he just got back - to the sins of hydra.. urgh I dunno. It just kind of makes me sad.
Bucky is a victim too.
I just think the pure horror of what he went through was kind of downplayed and swept to the side as the series went on. The resolution of his series arc, confessing to killing Yori’s son, felt very rushed and lacklustre to me.
Did anyone else feel the same or am I completely overthinking it?
Yeah… the whole “be of service” thing could, potentially, have been of some therapeutic value, but I don’t think it really worked out the way they did it in the show.
Firstly, he doesn’t have a good patient/therapist relationship with Dr. Raynor. He clearly doesn’t want to be there, he outright lies to her, and some of their dialogue is borderline hostile. Any therapy that he does, he would have to be invested and involved in for it to work. And he wasn’t invested in working with her. So there’s that.
And then, about the actual amends list, it just. Doesn’t seem right to me. People shouldn’t be telling him that there are certain correct ways for him to go about finding closure, first of all. Closure is the only real benefit the amends thing might have. But he seemed to be doing it because he felt guilty for things that weren’t his fault. And the more he ruminated on it, the more guilty he felt. Not a cycle conducive to recovery.
His story felt kind of rushed and sidelined to me tbh, and the victim blaming was kind of upsetting. They didn’t once acknowledge the absolute torture he went through - not just physically, but psychologically, too. Hydra gaslighted and manipulated him six ways to Sunday, and I don’t think TFATWS Bucky is in a place where he is capable of acknowledging that. Some things they did right, but a lot of things weren’t done right. I don’t know. I don’t think you’re overthinking it.
I’d also like to point out that guilt is quite literally a depression symptom and the whole amends thing very well could have been a logical way to tackle it if Bucky had not been showing improvement with other methods/he basically was unwavering in his own opinion of being at fault. It would make sense if a therapist had already tried ways to highlight that he wasn’t to blame and help him let go of the guilt that way. It would make sense for a therapist to say “hey if you really feel this guilty and nothing else is working, let’s see if ‘righting’ your supposed wrongs will help.”
As mentioned above, that’s not what happens. He didn’t have a good relationship with his therapist, he didn’t open up to her about much, and she obviously wasn’t too sold on the idea that he was innocent. It wasn’t a “let’s try a different route so you can work through this literal part of depression”, it was a “yeah the government thinks that you’re crazy…you better make it right so we know you won’t murder anyone”.
And what doesn’t make it better, is that almost every person he comes across, reinforces this guilt. How many times in the show did someone look at him with disgust or make a smart ass comment about his past. Someone says something about it several times an episode, wether it’s supposed to be derogatory or “friendly fire”.
And just on top of all that, his friend straight up tells him to go say sorry to everyone and get over it (and I’m not blaming Sam as a character, I’m blaming the writers). Now Sam did come from a good place, but the way it was said, (thanks writers) comes off as even further reinforcing that Bucky should be guilty and is to blame. Everyone around him is pounding it into his head that he’s a piece of shit, and that guilt is gonna stay if all he hears is how bad and dangerous he is.
Also with what Sam suggested, having Bucky tell the victim’s family members what happened, all those people he’s “giving closure” to are most likely not going to say “oh thanks” but would rather have very emotional, negative reactions that Bucky would be on the receiving end of. Once again, that would reinforce his guilt, and would probably be very taxing on his over all mental health.
A good therapist would recommend other ways to make amends with those people that doesn’t involve an in person meet up to tell them how he murdered their loved one. Anyways, I think I got off track for my original point here. The whole making amends thing, could have potentially worked narratively if there was good writing behind it and the BARE MINIMUM of psychological knowledge (like a fucking google search level). But alas, there was not.

He wants to laugh at the irony, he really does, as he lets Potter brand his arm and override the dark mark with a new one.
