My Goddamn TFATWS Essay

CW: This essay is about about trauma, including everything Bucky was subjected to, as well as mentions of interpersonal trauma, sexual assault, and incest. It also discusses victim-blaming at length. SPOILERS ABOUND.

I was already planning to write my opinions about Bucky in TFATWS, and then a lovely anon sent me the article by Rotem Rusak, “How Falcon and The Winter Soldier Villainizes Trauma.” So I figured I’d comment on the article and offer other opinions in a huge-ass essay that maybe five people will actually read. 

I have real respect for Rusak, especially this essay on Stucky, much of which I agree with. I think Rusak’s most recent essay was well composed in many ways, and it seems like it was quite moving for some folks. I get where she’s coming from, I really do, and I can see why reading the show this way would be extremely upsetting. I respect this essay and its place in an ongoing conversation about the show. I also strongly disagree with pretty much her entire premise. 

I’d like to offer a completely different interpretation of TFATWS where Bucky is not fragilized, is an agent of his own healing, and does not need to be the subject of our own interpretation of what his healing has to be. I’ll also attempt to make the argument that assuming his fragility and diminishing his many, many acts of meaningful agency in TFATWS is a disservice to this character. 

This.

I spent a week watching rebels and binge reading @juicyspacesecrets hilarious comics so i had to draw the fulcrums in all their majesty tho i kinda hate how this turned out

Bit late to the anniversary of HotKallus xD 

RETURN OF THE BO-RIFLE!?

Watch this scene closely. Compare Kallus’s weapon to Zeb’s. Remember how Kallus’s was modified.  I think it is possible…just POSSIBLE….that Kallus has his bo-rifle back. 

IF it is the borifle, remember that we didn’t see it after The Honorable Ones. My theory was that the “passing traders” that picked Kallus up and dropped him off had his bo-rifle. Well, guess who’s back? HONDO. I think Hondo made him trade his bo-rifle for passage back. I’m ready to be wrong, but I hope to be right. :)

Oh man, it’s starting to hit me that we’ve only got a handful of episodes left.

I’m not ready for the series to end. I’m not ready to let the characters go yet.

Respectfully submitted from one of your fans: please don’t! 😁
