Y’all know I’m all about sambucky being cat dads™️ but them being dog dads is just as good actually. It’s especially hilarious because they’re so obviously cat people and absolutely no one expects them to have a dog.

But one time after a mission they’re walking and they hear this whining and they find a little puppy hiding behind a dumpster and it’s cold and dark and they’re like ‘well we can’t just leave him here!’, so Bucky opens his jacket and carry the puppy there and they buy him food and they take him home all while being ‘we’re not keeping him! just until we find him a home! we’re not even gonna name him!’

But when one of them is having a nightmare, he sneaks into the room and licks their face until they wake up. He loves cuddling Bucky while he reads and staying as close as possible to Sam as he works on Redwing, or when he’s cooking. He loves Cass and AJ so much and is very protective of them. Sarah pretends so hard she disapproves but she absolutely melts at the puppy’s big brown eyes and ends up cuddling him all day and sneaking him all the treats.

So, yeah. They keep the dog. Probably end up naming him Gandalf or something. (Bucky’s fault. He called him that as a joke and now he only answers to it. And maybe Goodest Boy.)

A collection of my thoughts and headcanons to improve TFATWS

(Warning: Long post ahead!)

I was rewatching The Last of Us the other night and I really appreciated how, in a 9 episode (10 really with the 2ep pilot), it delivered so much plot momentum while still delving into multiple characters' backstories, with multiple episodes almost entirely devoted to flashbacks.

Like... with a somewhat modified plot and longer run time, TFATWS could've added so much backstory for both Sam and Bucky. Hell, they didn't mind spending CGI de-aging money on Fury in Secret Invasion so we could've used a little here too, no?

So, in a similar series structure, we could've had a 2ep opening pilot, really setting the foundational themes, then after Walker gets introduced as Walmart Cap, the next episode (after the recap) could've opened with an almost entirely flashback episode of Sam's time in the air force. (Walker might’ve even been in Afghanistan at the same time, depending on age/Blip years, etc. if you wanted to show them crossing paths, show Walker's always been entitled and a loose cannon, etc).

The episode could've A) shown Sam's awesome Falcon skills as a pararescue, B) given us Riley, whose loss we'd see echoed in Sam's grief and mixed emotions about Steve (and NAT!), and C) could've shown more Sam's reasons for being anti-authority and anti-institutional power, and a distrust in power structures that change their minds and agendas.

A headcanon I've had for a while is that even though Sam and Riley were trained and deployed as pararescue, eventually, maybe after their first tour trialling the EXO-7s, the military higher-ups realised that the Falcons could get in and out of certain regions/facilities, far better than a lot of other special forces crew. This meant that very quickly, Sam and Riley were being pulled from their pararescue unit and sent on more and more ops that weren't what they signed up for. Weren't of the 'rescue and recovery, saving people, bringing them home' variety. And this would weigh heavily on Sam's morals. Not only does he either not get all the info on these ops or doesn't agree with them, but he's also leaving his unit, the 58th, without him. Which could lead to guilt if some of his fellow soldiers are killed or wounded and not rescued in time, because the Falcons weren't there to save them. And of course, Riley's eventually death perhaps resulting from one of these dangerous ops. (Covered up officially as that 'standard night mission' which is all Sam's allowed to say.)

I think something like that could've shown Sam's disillusionment with government agencies and military institutions (especially when propped up by propaganda). And mirrored comments made by both Steve and Sam in Winter Solider and Civil War.

"The people giving me orders are down to zero..."

"Agendas change."

"What if this sends us somewhere we don't think we should go? What if there's somewhere we need to go and they don't let us?"

"How long you gonna play both sides?"

Part of Sam's reluctance in taking up the shield could've been his past experience in his abilities being turned to something he didn't sign up for and ultimately misused. (Also a parallel to Bucky!) A conversation prior to Riley's death, between him and Sam, could've shown that growing distrust in what they've been made to do.

Anyway, then (this post's already too long lol), later in the season, there's an almost entirely Bucky-centric flashback episode (like Ellie's ep7 in TLoU). Maybe Sam's injured and in hospital after the fight with Walker for the shield (but also Lemar doesn't get killed, because i say so), and this leaves Bucky in crisis mode for personal and plot reasons.

I haven't nailed down the specifics of these flashbacks as much, but the general scope would include: Bucky being drafted (not freely enlisting), seeing his family happy pre-War (little Rebecca?!), Hydra (not torture porn, just as in he's turned into a weapon and ties in with his guilt/list later), hiding out post CAWS (bonus points if Sam DID find Bucky first, I can't help it 😉), isolation, but sees someone that embodies so much that's good and worth believing in (Sam), starting to heal in Wakanda (like with Ayo) (again, bonus points if Sam's there at least once).

All that to say, Bucky's themes could highlight his displacement and disenfranchisement from his time, all his family, himself, and that clawing back of identity and belief in Good Things. And because in my scenario, I have Sam incapacitated to prompt this time of Bucky self-reflection, these flashbacks show that Sam is one of those Good Things that Bucky has grown to believe in and gravitate to. Which shows onscreen WHY he's been so adamant that Sam take up the shield. (Even though he went about this is a counter-intuitive and unhelpful way, we can fix this too). Sam inspired good in him, 'brought him home' (pararescue parallel!), and Bucky believes Sam can do the same for a broken world.

*Sam obviously wakes up, plot continues, he goes home while Bucky (being unable to verbalise yet everything we the audience now understands) has gone off to find Zemo, beg Wakanda for a fancy, over the top, 'I'm sorry I've been a dick, but I love you, I believe in you, and this is here should you choose it and if you need it' apology proposal present.

(I jest. This can all be read as strictly MCU-approved platonic. But this is tumblr, and me, so let's be real 😉)

I also would add, in the last episode, when Bucky is in NY, a scene of him contacting an older Rebecca. (Maybe this is something Sam asks him early in the show if he's done yet and Bucky brushes off, aggravated. Showing that he knows he has family alive, but his fear and other issues have been keeping him from reaching out - like what's kept him from Sam.) Because then you have back to back scenes of Bucky reconnecting to his old family, leading right into the dock party with Sam (his new family!) Visually showing he's healing that bridge of displacement and isolation.

Anyway, if you've stuck around to the end, thank you! That's how I would've incorporated flashbacks into a rough approximation of a TFATWS show to flesh out Sam and Bucky in relation to the show's themes and each other. (Obviously, we could fix all the Flagsmasher, power broker, serum stuff too. But the general plot outline still works for the purpose of this idea.)

Thanks for reading 😘

Sam never makes excuses for Bucky. Ever. I feel like that’s part of why Bucky not just loves but really respects him. Sam has seen him up, down, hanging off a truck, and he’s never going to be like, “Aw, I’ll fix it for you, let me take on all of your problems.”

No, Sam is grown, Bucky is grown, and he treats him like a person who can say sorry for acting like an a-hole, laugh at jokes, debate about nerd bull, and they can argue work through things together if need be but he gives Bucky the space to have agency.

He’s just Bucky, not some pet project or shell to fix, just Bucky.

#sambucky #sambucky headcanons #except this is highkey canon #i mean he is also a public menace and disrespectful and has a smart mouth and will use lethal force… but he’s just bucky… his boyfriend

[cobrafantasies]

I'm an active participant in the headcanon that Bucky knows exactly how to get the Cap suit off Sam (since he designed it for him) but I'm just now thinking about Bucky struggling to get it off. Which ensues that awkward, comic moment where the making out has to stop because Bucky can't find the zipper or the fabric gets caught or he shoves it over Sam's head in a last attempt. Sam's tangled in his own suit yelling, "Just let me do it, dammit!"

SamBucky headcanons- “With This Bullet I Thee Wed”edition

These are fic specific headcanons if you don’t vibe with them that’s cool, just keep it moving.

Sam used to be married, him and his ex wife are still close.

Sam started wearing his ring around his neck like Bucky does just a few days after he realized why.

Sam heavily considered being a registered therapist before joining shield.

Sam has a collection of vinyl records.

Sam did try to get the redacted information from Bucky’s file but failed.

Sam hates oranges with a passion but orange juice is his favourite drink.

Sam has a tattoo on his left shoulder blade of Riley’s birthday.

Sam has pieces of lucky clothing- lucky socks, lucky tie etc. but wearing them together is bad luck.

Bucky will watch black and white movies to destress.

Bucky loves Oreos but he thinks the originals are better then any other kind.

Bucky hates eating oatmeal hot-which Sam thinks is beyond disgusting.

Bucky has a collection of marbles, he likes how they look.

Bucky does know how to play piano but he refuses.

Bucky will hear Sam humming softly from downstairs and just listen.

Bucky doesn’t like anything minty, it reminds him of the cold.

I’ll think of more at some point I’m sure. But that’s all for now

Do you think Sam and Bucky were minding their own business, casually fishing one evening down at the pier when the sky starts spinning. They look up at it, look at each other, and back at the sky. Take a sip of their beers and silently agree that they don’t get paid enough for that and pack up for the night. If the world really needs them, someone will find them. Otherwise, they just don’t talk about it and go about their lives. 

“You see that” *shakes head* “yeah, me neither” 

*clinks and finishes beers before promptly leaving*

here’s an image for y’all, from my brain to yours:

Sam, cleaning the kitchen in an A-shirt and ridiculously short shorts, dancing and singing along to CUFF IT.

Bucky walks in, sees this absolutely wonderful scene, and knows Sam Wilson was sent to this earth to be the death of him

I didn't notice what I lost

Until all the lights were off

And not knowing what you're up to tortured me

Now this might be a mistake

We're broken in so many ways

But I piece us back together slowly

Ooh-ooh, maybe I'm just a fool

I still belong with you

Anywhere you, anywhere you are

Ooh-ooh, these minefields that I walk through

Ooh-ooh, what I risk to be close to you

Ooh-ooh, these minefields keeping me from you

Whoa, what I risk to be close to you

im sorry but can you imagine bucky somehow coming across an album full of sam’s pictures and seeing a picture of baby sam in a bird costume and just. absolutely dying, because it’s the most adorable thing ever and sam always wanted to fly and look at him now. oh my god

So in Endgame when Hulk does the first Snap to bring everyone back, it's daylight in New York, yeah? And the explosion from Thanos's attack and the resulting debris and dust cloud is presumably what makes the sky so dark during the battle...? (Either that or they snapped right before sunset.)

Anyway, my question is what time zone would it have been in Wakanda when Sam and Bucky reappear?

Because it would've been such a cool scene to see them reappear (like Monica's scene, or the transition with Yelena) where they reform and from their perspective the surrounding forest and sky melt away almost instantly from daytime into night.

How disorienting that would be, how that would show Sam and Bucky straight away that something was wrong and that time had passed (but they don't know how long), and everyone else is gone. And if they were calling out to find anyone, they would eventually find each other and then run to hug and hold onto one another because sambucky. 🥺

(I'm so annoyed that we didn't get flashbacks in tfatws. Still... over a year later. 😭)

Cap4 is not a source of anxious for me. It’s giving SamBucky on separate work assignments while figuring out this soft love thing. It’s giving SamBucky planning a weekend together to decompress and moan about what assholes these bureaucrats are.

Cap Sam leading his team and all eyes casually drifting to the door as the former Winter Soldier peaks in with an insulated bag mouthing, “You left your lunch,” and Sam keeping leader tone but also his eyes are like 🥺 and then them both go to their dangerous missions. Still. 😌
