~Steve and Bucky's New Life in the 21st Century XDD

Why are you like this? The brooding tough-guy shtick. Why are you the way you are?

I just love the fact that when Steve went to the hydra camp he had literally no idea what he was doing. He had absolutely no experience fighting in his new body whatsoever. He had no fighting experience at all. He wasn’t even really in the army. Literally the only army exposure he had at that point was that short time BEFORE he even got the serum. This is just Steve Rogers being like I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing so I’m just gonna wing it

He literally saves all those men by sheer force of will and an unconditional love for Bucky Barnes

The real reason Bucky didn’t recognize Steve until he’d beat his face in.

[fsbc-librarian]

James Buchanan Barnes was a childhood friend of Steve Rogers. He was assumed dead after falling off a train, but survived thanks to Arnim Zola’s experiments. HYDRA brainwashed him, making him a ruthless killer responsible for many deaths. He was missing an arm, so HYDRA replaced it with a cybernetic one. HYDRA then froze him in suspended animation. Bucky was MIA for long periods of time ‘til HYDRA saw fit to unfreeze him. Over the next fifty years, Barnes was activated to assassinate Nick Fury as the Winter Soldier.

Maybe he doesn't wear the arm all the time. 🤷‍♂️

I like this pose from Seb bts on tfatws but I wanted to draw Bucky without the arm, and i think he needed long hair too✏️

why taking commissions for fanfics can KILL Archive of Our Own and fanfic culture as a whole

okay, so thing is, fanfics are allowed — as in they’re not banned — because nobody is supposed to be profiting off of copyrighted characters.

this is why popular site like Archive of Our Own is allowed to be up and running, because no one is supposed to be making money from fanfics.

the fact AO3 is allowed to be up and running, unfortunately, can and will most likely change if people start normalizing commissioning fanfics and making profit off of them.

because the second those big companies learn people are profiting off of their copyrighted characters, the target they will attack after you (in terms of legal action) is a platform like Archive of Our Own, which will likely ruin it all for everybody and every fandom.

imagine Archive of Our Own getting shut down because fanfics were banned because people were profiting off of them. (I know AO3 isn’t only about fanfics, but since it’s mostly known for fanfics, it will most likely get targeted and that will most likely mean it’ll get shut down if worst comes to worst.)

honestly. most people write fanfics in their free time for free out of passion and love they have for their favorite characters.

people read fanfics for free because that’s their source of happiness.

I’m not saying there will be no fanfics left in this world if they really are banned, because people will always find a way. but it WILL be so much harder having to sneak around and find a way to post fanfics without them getting removed at best, the authors getting sued at worst. and it WILL be harder for readers to find your works if we have to censor key words and character names in order to avoid getting caught.

it’s so much easier like this, we can freely post fanfics without having to hide and censor key words or worrying about anything.

no, I’m not making this post for the sake of those big companies. this post isn’t about “hey, don’t profit off of their characters”. it’s about “hey, don’t risk ruining fanfics culture as a whole for everybody by profiting off of them and putting a platform like Archive of Our Own in jeopardy.”

if you don’t want to live in a fandom without AO3, keep fanfics free.

yeah sex is cool I guess

but have you ever had someone leave a comment with a paragraph-long review of your fanfic containing genuine praise, thorough criticism, and an in-depth analysis of all the lore hints you dropped that you spent ages intricately crafting

[fsbc-librarian]

i’m so gone over these two idiots

Sweet commission I was lucky to do for the wonderful the-rat-wins :)
