The events of The Winter Soldier trial told in a series of tweets. Inspired by two amazing mixed-media fics that play with the possibility of what might happen if Bucky was put on trial after the events of CATWS:

- United States v. Barnes by fallingvoices and radialarch

- cross this river to the other side by defcontwo

This is more of a re-mix than actual fic illustration, though all credit for the idea and the tweets goes to the respective authors. Stylewise I was going for a mix between actual pictures and courtroom sketches. References used courtesy of Getty Images. And thanks to johanirae for being my art-beta.

Steve is having a taste of his own medicine aka how it feels to be constantly worried sick about your reckless best friend who has no regard for his own safety.

I know there's a whole sequence and all in which you've gotta say those 10 words that turn Bucky's winter soldier switch on. but like. imagine how fucking FUNNY it would be if saying just one (1) of those words made him go Absolutely Feral

IGN has this awesome video on youtube "Bionic Arm Experts React to The Winter Soldier" idk if you've seen it but i thought it was really interesting from a bucky's-metal-arm-meta perspective, and just for info about bionic arms in general, and wanted to share!

https://www.ign.com/videos/bionic-arm-experts-react-to-the-winter-soldier

Dearest Nonnie, thanks for dropping that in my inbox! It’s a fantastic watch for anyone interested in Bucky's bionic arm, as discussed by a prosthetics user and a co-founder of a bionics company (it looks like her training is not in prosthetics but I presume she has a lot of on the job experience given the company is about 7 years old now). They're focusing on the arm in TFATWS as opposed to his arm in previous movies.

Some takeaways for people who cbb:

Bucky’s arm is wayyyy too advanced for what we have in the real world. I suspect most professionals don’t see it as a prosthetic and only see an actor wearing a shell. It’s just too functional for what we have technology-wise. But goals!

Attachment: I agree with their thought Bucky probably has to have an implant for it to stay on, which as they say is pretty new technology. And yeah…Bucky abuses that arm way too much and there are scenes where it should have ripped off, and then there’s the Ayo scene where it’s like ??? Why does it come off so easily? Isn’t that dangerous in the middle of a battle?

(Seriously how does the arm stay on. And that scream...BUCKY THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR RUNNING AWAY FROM STEVE. Also Sebastian I hope you didn't bust your shoulder catching your weight like this.)

Weight/components: these things are heavy, especially when they're as heavy duty as the Winter Soldier's! They brought up good points about chips, motors and batteries (remember each component you add means more cost, more weight, and more things to damage when he slams that hand into concrete). I think Bucky's super soldier strength helps, but the fact he walks with a balanced comfortable gait — man that’s already a giveaway that it’s Seb’s own arm LOL. Anyway for the sake of angst in-universe meta, Bucky’s Hydra arm would have been very heavy and uncomfortable, and probably causing a lot of muscle strain and back/neck ache. Bucky walking around like that arm isn't heavy could be him trying to hide his vulnerabilities from enemies and handlers.

Cost: yep…why would you want to punch through walls with million dollar components when you can kick it down instead (sorry Steve)? Hydra must be loaded with cash cos they sure didn’t teach WS to take care of himself or his very expensive arm. And when they winced over Bucky's very expensive arm thunking onto the ground -- yeah my cheap ass felt that.

"People get very attached to their prostheses": oho that one sure hit home.

Bespoke: this slipped by really fast but it’s such an important point that I keep bringing up! The vibranium arm is NOT a surprise gift for Bucky. You just do not make a prosthetic arm like that in secret and spring it on the amputee expecting it to work for them. It is not a shoe that you can slip on and off. It’s highly personalised, from the cast, the fit, the shape, but also the functions, programming and the positioning of the electrodes has to match what Bucky wants to and can do with it. Think about the Iron Man suit — sure, Pepper and Rhodes can sit in it but it’s never going to work for them the same way it does for Tony. It’s the same with Bucky’s arm. No matter how advanced Wakanda is, they have to have consulted him when making it. In fact, the very idea that able-bodied people can just...manufacture a highly specialised and advanced prosthesis without consulting the amputee himself is...at best ill-informed, at worst rather ableist. So I've always taken the view that Bucky was involved in the prosthetics-making process then requested that T'Challa keep the arm and only give it to him when he's being called upon to fight.

(FML TUMBLR JUST DELETED AN ENTIRE PARAGRAPH AGAIN)

Neglected use: the prosthetics user (Daniel) brings up an excellent point about really connecting to Bucky's line that "I don't always think of my (prosthesis) I'm right handed". I just wanted to note some differences: Daniel is a congenital limb deficiency, while Bucky is an amputation. This means during toddler years where the brain learns motor skills, Daniel wouldn't have had to learn for that part of his limb; meanwhile Bucky had his limb until adulthood and his brain would have been used to controlling a limb there. There are both good and bad parts to this -- for Daniel it would just be like learning to use a new tool, for Bucky it would be like trying to use an arm that's never going to be as intuitive as his own arm. THAT SAID, Bucky's arm is very advanced and very similar to a real arm, and he's also had much longer at using it, which means that arm should feel more natural to him than Daniel's prosthesis does. So my head canon is that Bucky's skills regressed when he lost his arm between Civil War and TFATWS. We know from real life that upper limb prosthesis uptake is pretty poor because a) our real life prostheses are mostly bleh; and b) people are very adaptive and get used to using one arm; and c) once they do, most of them CBB learning to use a clunky unreliable heavy thing like a prosthesis. Bucky spent most of two years using one arm - his dominant hand, no less - so by the time he gets his new vibranium arm it's a learning curve again and he probably defaults to using his right arm for most skilled tasks.

(Any excuse to include Bucky picking plums *pat pat*)

(Oh man this got long again)

This is SUCH a great video about Bucky's past. It's an eye opener on all the violence and suffering he was forced to endure. The music is on point to the footage.

How are there people on Earth who don’t like Bucky Barnes?

I mean, look at this  Delicious Dumpling!

He’s smol. And he’s been through a hell of a lot.

First of all, Baby Boy was drafted into World War II not knowing what would happen to him. He left behind his entire family (mom and sisters), and very problematic (and sick) best friend, to possibly never to return.

Secondly, our Little Lovebug ended up being a prisoner of fucking war and experimented on by a mad Nazi scientist.

Thirdly, he fell from a train while trying to help save the god damned world from Hydra domination.

Fourthly, he was tortured and brainwashed into becoming an assassin who then spent 70+ years doing atrocious acts to those who opposed Hydra. And when not committing these acts of Hydra, being cryogenically frozen until his evil alter ego was needed.

Fifth, he escaped his Hydra captivity to finally be able to start remembering who he truly is, James Buchanan Barnes, but has to do it on the run in Romania because he’s being hunted by both Hydra AND the US Government.

Sixth, our Precious Plum was just minding his own business before being FALSELY accused of bombing the United Nations. Therefore, he had to run again. (But this time, his friend is joining him to prove his innocence… which also causes a lot of drama between his best friend’s new work crew.)

Seventh, after his innocence for the UN bombing is fucking proven (yes it was), Hunky Honey Bunches of Oats voluntarily put himself back into a cryogenic chamber until a smart-as-hell sixteen year old was able to break his brainwashing. (It worked, btw.)

Eighth, the Jelly Bean was finally woken up and leading a normal, brainwash free, and quiet life when Barney the GIant Purple Dick Head decided he needed some special space gems to dstroy half of the universe. Of course, with a heart of gold and a sense of right, Boy-o ends up fighting again. 

Then - turns out - he is part of the half that gets erased from existance. (I can’t post that gif as it hurts too bad.)

Life has not been fair to our Pumpkin Roll, and he does not deserve a single piece of hate that gets sent his way. So, don’t come to this house and say that Bucky Barnes is a villain because it for sure ain’t true, and you will for sure get bitch slapped for that blasphemy.

BUCKY BARNES / THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER (2021)

Season 1, Episode 1: New World Order

Alright, give me a break. I’m trying, okay? This isn’t… this is new for me. I didn’t have a moment to deal with anything, you know? I had a little calm in Wakanda. And other than that, I just went from one fight to another for ninety years.
