for @thatmexisaurusrex <33 thanks for the prompt!!

He took another sip of his wine, tasting all the undertones and hints before swallowing, turning around when he felt eyes on his back, dreading the prospect of another firm handshake and small talk.
The glass almost slipped from his hand when his eyes landed on a figure standing across the room, hidden in the shadows, but Sam would know the outline of Bucky’s body anywhere, even with his eyes closed.

“I can fix him” okay but I can fix the narrative. I can recontextualize events and bring out depths of character. I can shift priorities and strengthen relationships and show that anyone can change with enough kindness and support, and that what you admired in him has been inside yourself this whole time.

just read an interview from the director about how we’re apparently supposed to LIKE john walker. THAT was them writing him as likeable. maybe it’s just wyatt’s acting or something but i have never been so put off by a character in my entire life. the villainy just radiates off him. unsettling costume self-righteous attitude violent outbursts literally written like every fascist extremist ever. and they want me to pity him ?? to find him likeable or fucking redeemable?? FFFFHDJNE like i have absolutely no history with that character i have no reason to dislike him other than the fact that he is so deeply unlikable. i know “likeable” is a personal opinion but mostly im concerned for the people that like him. i genuinely cannot comprehend what people saw in him in that show to make them like him. as a person, not as a character. he’s a really cool villain and everything i’m just confused that people are treating him like a victim or a straw man. he used lethal force on civilians. he wanted to use sam and bucky to legitimize his claim to the throne. he sees that shield as a symbol of patriotism to a broken nation, a military, not to people. he feeds into every negative stereotype about captain america that steve refused to bow to. he is the american imperialist that the military wants, that steve would never be because his heart is too full of altruism to have any room for ego. the foundation of captain america is the idea of being a good man. without that, captain america is just another tool for the military industrial complex.

this is like the democrat version of when republicans see a long line at the food pantry and are like "this is what america would look like under communism"

I wish I could find my other post about it, but white people, rich people, on and on, need to sit in their feelings of guilt more often. Seeing poor people of color beg for help makes you feel Nasty? Good. Do something about it. Pay them, help them. Seeing posts about Palestine and Congo and Sudan make you feel guilty? Good! Do something about it! Donate to an evacuation fund, buy an e-sim, do something real and concrete. Use your guilt and shame and do something positive with it instead of making posts shaming the poorest and most desperate of us for not pleading for help nice enough.
