i just saw a post that reminded me of this but, bucky is a terrible liar. Like seriously. It's awful.
Here are some things i've noticed he does when he's lying.
- inflation in tone (he emphasizes words that Do Not need to be emphasized)
- wide eyes and nodding?? (almost as if he's trying to be sarcastic)
- he avoids the question or topic completely (aka, deflecting)
and that's all but yeah...hes a terrible liar
for some reason i really like those fics where its like sam actually finds bucky at some point during the whole aou shababble and they begin this little love story that dwindles down until it becomes cw canon compliant, the ones where sam has also been taken by hydra at some point and bucky and him become mission partners, and the ones where sam gets taken by hydra AFTER meeting steve and meets bucky a little more formally while bucky is still in autopilot and bucky helps him escape...idk i just like the idea of bucky not being completely emotionally empty even while in hydra's hold

the last one isnt even a headcanon that's just canon. like it's so fucking obvious whenever he lies in the show, he has so many tells
wait u know how bucky probably doesn’t remember anything from his time as the winter soldier? my new favourite headcanon is that he’s complete shite at being all stealthy and spy like, he makes a lot of noise when he’s walking around, he’s clumsy and bumps into things and he’s amazed at anything real spies like sharon and natasha do thinking it’s beyond impressive when really they’re just observant and careful.
he’s also a shit liar, which is why everyone including sam know about his feelings for sam.
first actual post in awhile but I saw the first ep of ms marvel and couldn't help posting abt kamala!! I'm loving her already, can't wait for the next ep
For me probably the most annoying part of Bucky’s reaction to Sam giving up the shield (emphasis on annoying, because I don’t mean “the worst”) is the fact that he could have changed Sam’s mind before he made that decision.
We know that Sam was open to have a conversation and build some sort of relationship with Bucky and we know from the first half of the season that he cares about him at least a little bit, so he probably would take his opinions into consideration - especially opinions related to Steve. But Sam never got to hear these opinions, because Bucky didn’t accept the offer and ignored the texts.
Some people like to simplify Sam’s decision to not become Captain and say it’s him being insecure. We all know it’s way more complicated than that and there are other serious reasons for his reluctance to take the shield. But you can’t fully ignore the fact that taking Steve’s space could make him feel… inadequate, for lack of a better word. It’s a big role to take. A man much less humble than Sam would feel a little out of place trying to play it.
And Sam didn’t have too much support about being the legacy hero in the first place. He has his family, yes… but Sarah would probably encourage him to just take care of himself instead of jumping into another fight he doesn’t have to participate in (even if she believes he’d be a good Captain). He talks with Rhodey about it, but they’re more like friendly coworkers than “friends who happen to be coworkers”, so it’s different. And Rhodey really does understand what made Sam give up the shield, so he obviously doesn’t push, trying to make him change his mind.
Other than that… Sam’s pretty much alone.
If there was a person, who could have given him enough courage and motivation to take the shield it would’ve been Bucky. Because they were both very close to Steve, they both have strong opinions about him being a Captain, and Bucky definitely thinks that Sam’s a good person for this job. An oppinion Sam would probably value a lot in other circumstances. But Bucky missed his chance to influence Sam in a positive way and be there for him.
If he just tried to keep a positive relationship with Sam he would most likely be the first person to know that Sam has doubts. And I don’t know if his endorsement and support alone would make Sam entirely change his decision about the shield, but he’d be definitely more open to accepting the mantle if he knew that there was someone other that Steve who even wanted him to have it at all.
He didn’t know.
Good job, Barnes.
While i was watching him in svu i thought he was a lot like ed
I thought I’d heard Ed’s story before…
