The way that the message of Thunderbolts* is that to get through depression and past traumas you need to reach out and rely on your support system and the whole time Bucky is separate from his and by the end there's a wedge between him and Sam.
I don't know how you can be a Bucky stan and approve of that pcs in Thunderbolts*.
I love Bucky and that scene gutted me.
How are we supposed to believe that:
The Bucky who spent what seems like his entire career in Congress trying to put together the evidence to bring down Valentina would then turn around and work for her? For 14 months?! After what she tried to do to Wakanda?! After he makes a point of telling Mel early in the film that he never had a choice who he worked for but she does? This is the choice we're supposed to believe he would make?
The Bucky who dropped everything to go to Sam when Joaquรญn was injured in Brave New World, who told Sam that him being Captain America gave people something to aspire to, who knew that Ross had charged Sam with rebuilding the Avengers, wouldn't be at Sam's side as he built that team?
The Bucky who is canonically best friends with Sam (at minimum), who can comfortably tell him he loves him, would allow him to be spoken of the way they talked about him in that pcs? That he would just stand by and allow them to suggest that Sam's the one at fault, that Sam's the one being unreasonable, that Sam should recognize that the Thunderbolts are the legitimate Avengers because the government (?? is Valentina the government now) said so?
This isn't Bucky. This isn't where he's at in his arc by Brave New World. I'm so upset that this is the direction the writers took him (and if it was the Russos who shot this scene, what this means for how they're going to treat the character in Doomsday).
I am also absolutely gutted about how they treated Sam in that pcs, but I haven't seen any positive takes from Sam fans - the consensus (I think) is that that scene was horrible and it's going to have so many repercussions outside the MCU. I am seeing posts from Bucky fans cheering about Bucky's new 'found family' or suggesting that people upset about the pcs are exaggerating and...that is not how I feel right now.
These three pieces were made for this year's Valentine's day, and are currently being used as this account's banner!
Alongside Roxanne and Bucky (ship name Rocky) from the main universe "A Second Chance" takes place (referred to as Sedaverse), there are also two AUs my co-author Julienne and I like to play with: The 1602 AU (Based off the season 2 episode of "What If...?"), and the Avengers Academy AU (basically just a fun high school AU).
These two are made for each other in all our realities. ๐

"Out There" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame in Latin American Spanish (I'm from Guatemala ๐ฌ๐น)
๐ถ Tras estas ventanas y murallas siempre estoy
Escondido sin que puedan verme
Algรบn dรญa salir ha sido mi fascinaciรณn, con toda esa gente encontrarme
Siempre memorizo bien sus caras, y ellos nunca van a conocerme
Siempre he imaginado quรฉ se siente un dรญa pasar
Allรก abajo, entre ellos
Afuera, vivir con el sol
Sรณlo un dรญa afuera, uno disfrutar, tener por siempre
Fuera, tanto tienen sin saber
Cualquier cosa yo darรญa, por afuera un dรญa vivir ๐ถ
Enough with the Disney negativity for now!
Mine is "I won't say I'm in love" from Hercules ๐ฎ๐น
๐ถSe esiste esiste un premio per gli ingenui, io l'ho giร vinto da tempo.
Ma nessun uomo vale tanto.
Di delusioni ne ho avute troppe!
Cosa credi, amica? Non si puรฒ far finta quando tutto parla chiaro.
Ma noi ti leggiamo dentro e anche se lo neghi, sai si vede bene quanto immenso sia!
Non so perchรฉ non lo ammetterรฒ mai.
Ti vada o no, l'ami e dillo oh oh
Ma รจ certo che l'amo e non lo saprร ๐ถ
Somebody PLEASE take me back to this era I am begging.
I miss them every day u_u
This artwork's a little older, but this Tumblr page couldn't feel fully mine until I professed my love for my favorite MCU series and two of my favorite characters.
Not looking forward at all to watching this iconic duo splitting up, tbh :''')
Well, I have preemptively salted on this movie for so long now, that I'm betting at least some of you are curious to know my opinion on Thunderbolts* by now. Specifically Bucky's role in it.
Disclaimer, I have not actually watched the movie and I have absolutely zero plans to go to the theaters and spend money on it, but I have read several plot summaries for it and seen many spoilers. So I do know about 90% of what happens in it, and my opinion is solely based on that. And let me tell you, it's a strong one.
Spoilers ahead, if anyone cares.
Bucky is not a "NeW aVenGeR".
Because he already was an actual Avenger.
Because he already was working with Captain America and already had done heroic acts working beside him.
He was referred to as an Avenger onscreen, by Walker no less.
This movie refuses to acknowledge any of that.
You can throw all the technicalities you want at me, you can hit me with all the "Uhm, but aCTUALLY..."s that you want.
The truth is this movie takes away so much of what Bucky had already worked so hard to achieve. Including a stable and reliable friendship with Sam Wilson, a clear name, a newfound purpose...
But most importantly, they took away one my man's most defining traits, and one of the biggest reasons why I fell in love with Bucky in the first place: his loyalty.
The man who showed up for Sam Wilson time and time again (especially when he needed emotional support after his protegรฉ was in critical condition), the man who reassured him, the man who was visibly, personally offended when his late friend's shield, title, and legacy was handed by the government to someone who hadn't earned it, the man who fought to give it back to the person Steve had actually trusted with it because he believed only he could carry that legacy with the respect that it deserved...
I refuse to believe that's the same man who tried to talk Sam into just "letting them" use the title of the Avengers, despite knowing damn well why Sam would be opposed to letting the likes of Valentina and the government in general just appropiate it so thoughtlessly. Or heck, even the same man who would just hear Alexei casually insult his best friend and just say nothing??? Like what have they done to him, that's not the Bucky I know!!!
I can and will only accept that ending if they confirm that Sam and Bucky are actually secretly working together to outsmart that woman, and have to keep up appearances in the meantime and pretend to be in a tiff. Otherwise, it does not make sense for either of them and just character-assassinates my fav.
From what I'm seeing and hearing, this movie probably should've just been Black Widow 2 and focus on Yelena and Alexei helping out Bob. Those three seem to be who the movie cares the most about anyway. It's certainly not Antonia. ๐ (That's my second biggest gripe with this film by the way, I get that she wasn't the most popular character, but that was straight up NASTY of them)
So there may be many good things about this movie. But unfortunately, they decided to rope my favorite character into it in a way that ignores most of what was so great and inspiring about his character arc so far. And they also chose to shamelessly insult and undermine my second favorite character and paint him as a petty bully (which is very OOC for him I might add). And they also chose to do all of this with a cheeky little "LOL we're the New Avengerz now ๐คช" attitude and publicity campaign.
And for that alone, they could never make me like this movie.
As Roxanne heads to rescue her brother and Bucky stays behind to protect the Garcรญas, both of them will have intense battles to face, both internal and external.

"A Second Chance" is a Bucky Barnes x OC, MCU fanfiction written by myself (@ro994art) and Julienne Dy (@juliennepearldy), with illustrations done by me.
New side blog! Hope you'll check it out :)
๐ Seda ๐ธ๏ธ
Hello, Tumblr! This is @ro994art, and I've decided to create a side blog to share all about the Sedaverse, which is what I have named the universe in which my fanfic "A Second Chance" takes place: an OC insert story with my MCU original character, Roxanne Brooks AKA Seda!
"This is the story of Roxanne Brooks. After seemingly leaving behind a life-altering tragedy, her world will turn upside down once again after a fateful encounter. The powers she acquired in this traumatic accident years ago may actually be a blessing in disguise. But being a hero doesn't come without a price. And when she meets a mysterious man with a tragedy maybe even greater than hers, how will this alter both of their courses? Can a declined call turn into the beginning of a new life?" - 'A Second Chance' synopsis
This is an OCxCanon love story (with my main character getting paired up with Bucky Barnes) taking place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, mostly from phases 1 to 4. If you enjoy stories that have:
Superhero origin stories with coming-of-age elements,
Found family,
Lovers to enemies AND enemies to lovers,
A well-developed, wholesome (slowburn) romance with LOTS of hurt-comfort, yearning, and tension (where the guy falls first ๐),
And protagonist who feminine, imperfect, and relatable, but also empowering and inspiring,
Then this fanfic is for you! I hope you'll give this story a chance. (๐ฅ)
You can read it on Wattpad and AO3. I'll be posting illustrations I've done for this story here from now on, so I hope you'll enjoy!

I got tagged by @minamorsart and it looked really fun, thanks bestie! ๐ค๐ฉท
(These aren't in any specific order btw)
I'm always too shy to tag people, so if you see this and want to do it, you're tagged. ๐๐
OOF Okay guys hear me out, call me crazy or flaky or anything you'd like but, I think I'm changing my mind & actually starting to feel more hyped for Thunderbolts* now??
Like IDK maybe it's cause I've had time to think it over, and how the Doomsday announcement has basically confirmed that none of them (even Sentry) will die, but as a MEGA Bucky fan, I think this could be his best MCU project yet!
Like I know the dynamics are going to amazing between all of these guys, and Bucky will probably realize the leadership he's always had in him, both within the team and as a Congressman, which all just sounds like SUCH amazing choices for his character development.
I think I'll actually go see this one in theaters. Very hyped to see my pookie once again. ๐คฉ๐ฅฐ

Starlight Glimmer is here to celebrate the arrival of Spring!
I gave her the mane and tail styles as seen in her crystal pony form, but without crystallization and with flowers! The flowers are forget-me-nots.
๐ธ๐ Rainbow Blitz
This Blitz was for my commission sheet examples, but I'm posting him solo because I think I have a little artblock again, but I don't want the algorithm to think I'm dead. ๐ I wanted to give him his own post eventually anyway, I really like how he turned out :D
This design is by an artist friend of mine who I think most of the fandom knows, Orin331 (he asked me not to directly link his page ๐ ). Only the outfit is my design.
If you like my art, please consider getting a commission! All prices and info are in my profile's pinned post. Hope you all have a wonderful day. ๐
To celebrate my favorite fictional character, here are some of my favorite pictures of him I've drawn for my ongoing BuckyxOC fanfiction, "A Second Chance", which I'm also illustrating.
I've mentioned this fanfic a few times here before, but if you're interested in reading a wholesome but engaging slowburn romance between Bucky and an original character (who has a proper story and personality outside of being a love interest), including hurt/comfort, angst with a happy ending, and the main character escaping a toxic relationship, feel free to check it out:

Reblogging cause I'm currently sad and mad and disappointed about pookie not getting his Oscar :') But let us not forget what an AMAZING year he's had and how incredibly talented he is. That talent doesn't need a statue to be validated, but I'm still glad that he's started to get more well-deserved recognition. I'm sure there are nothing but brighther, greater things ahead of him. This is just the beginning.
The winner in my heart. ๐
First artwork of the year is dedicated toย Sebastian Stan and his SUPER well-deserved win from yesterday. If you know me, you knew I had to do something in commemoration of my favorite actor finally getting some recognition. ๐ฉต
I know Sebastian doesn't really get into social media anymore (and for good reason honestly), but I sincerely hope someone lets him know how proud us his fans are of him. ๐ฅน
UPDATE JAN 09: Okay, I admittedly rushed this one and wasn't very happy with the eyes and some other minor things after I had posted them, so I made adjustments. I can't modify the file on other sites unfortunately, but I can here, so I did xD
And just because I liked it too, I'll share the sketch below the cut :>
NEW SHIP ALERT!!! AND IT'S ONE OF MY OWN CREATION (โ โโ แดโ โโ โฟโ )
Revamping the designs of my OCs Peloo and Zann~~ Someday I hope to make a webtoon about them! โจ
You know guys, I actually can't wait for Thunderbolts* to come out.
No, I don't mean that in the "OMG I'm so hyped and excited for this movie and I'm sure it's gonna be amazing and I'm going to have a great time watching my fav in it" sense.
I mean it in a "The journey ever since the announcement of this movie has been so stressful to me as a Bucky fangirl, the marketing campaign has been a complete rollercoaster, and for every choice that I actually kind of like they make 3 decisions that completely appal me; so I just want to know what happens in the damn thing already so I can get it over with, plan out a fix/rewrite for our AU with my friend, and move on" kind of sense.
James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes did NOT valiantly serve in WWII, fight decades of torture and brainwashing to save his best friend's life, spend 2 years in Wakanda recovering from said brainwashing, fight against Thanos' army before AND after getting blipped, and help Captain America take down the Flag Smashers, directly saving the lives of several hostages in the process, only to be treated as a "spare" and "not a hero".
Give my man some respect.
I get it, we all have our preferences in the types of fiction we consume and the arcs we enjoy watching.
But the hate I'm seeing lately for characters who are genuinely kind, or characters who chose to redeem themselves is ridiculous, and people need to chill about it.
Some of us actually like seeing characters choosing good, compassion, and light. Some of us are actually comforted and reassured when we see fictional characters who had seemingly fallen too deep but still find a way out and discover true peace. Sometimes it's nice seeing characters who remain genuinely good despite going through immense pain and unfairness (they still have the right to feel things and work on their trauma of course, but when they actually manage to not become a villain because of it... I like that, I actually do like seeing that)
There's nothing wrong with stories about hope.
If you prefer to see characters become evil, destroy things, and making others suffer, good for you, and you enjoy that. But let those of us who like goodness in our stories enjoy it, and maybe diss on it a little less?
There are more than enough damnation arcs in real life and sometimes we need a break from that.
First time opening them on here as well! ๐
