#like i know it was just a nod to sebstan being romanian which is very cute imo

what was bucky calling himself in romania? did he use the romanian variant of James (Iakob) when he talked to people and had to give them a name? how did he even learn romanian? does he have romanian heritage? did he learn it during the war? how did he pay rent? was he working in construction or as a line cook or something? did he have a little old lady as a neighbour who thought he was too skinny and lonely and forced him to eat with her at least once a week? did she make him help with cooking so he could make the food himself? did he go to the orthodox church with her? did the local kids like him? did he cut his hair himself or did he brave going to a barbers to keep it at a length he liked? did he like talking to market sellers about fruit because it was an easy conversation and a way for him to get used to socialising?

i have SO many questions about bucky in romania

#like i know it was just a nod to sebstan being romanian which is very cute imo #but also the logistics of this #is bucky romanian? is his mother romanian and changed her last name when she married his dad? #did he grow up orthodox or protestant? #why romania? #its a smart move going to a capital city and hiding in plain sight especially considering how much he physically changed over those two yea #homeboy was eating snacks all the time and absolutely thriving #except the whole 'sleeping bag on the mattress' situation but you know what i mean #sometimes i think about sebstan in interviews talking about being romanian and the cultural effects of that #his mother reading coffee dregs (like reading tea leaves) and being raised orthodox christian #i wonder how much of that bleeds into bucky #because bucky choosing romania of all places kind of implies some kind of connection #beyond the connection with the soviet arm of hydra #bucky barnes #bucky meta #bucky barnes meta #mcu meta #cacw meta #civil war meta #marvel #mcu
