This is so beautiful 😭

Bucky’s whole unit was captured in ‘43, Zola experimented on him. Whatever he did helped Bucky survive the fall. They must have found him and...

Well this is my new favourite video

BUCKY + smiling in Episode 5 of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier

SAM and BUCKY fixin’ the boat || The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Ep.01.05

Feels weird…picking it up again. The legacy of that shield is complicated, to say the least.

stop everything, this is bitty doing research for his thesis

there’s more lmao, unhinged bitty energy

I showed this tiktok to my grandma to make her laugh, but now she’s all excited and actually wants to make a chocolate potato cake. We’re gonna do it.

I’ll keep everyone posted.

It’s happening, folks!

Looks good, but we’re not done yet!

Our sweet, sweet child needs to cool before we add the finishing touches!

My creation is complete!

After dinner, we’ll give it a taste test!

I wonder how it’ll taste.

Oh…

My…

God.

It’s incredible!

This stupid cake, made with potatoes … is delicious! It’s so sweet, moist, and decadent, just like a brownie! And I don’t even like chocolate!

The recipe from the tiktok was pretty much impossible to find. I looked high and low, but everyone posted recipes that I KNOW he didn’t use because the ingredients and methods were different. After some searching, my grandma and I came up with our own recipe.

For the Cake:

1 cup mashed potato

2 cups sour cream

1 ¾ cup flour

1 ¾ cup sugar

¾ unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup softened butter

2 eggs

1 ½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

Pinch of salt

For the Drizzle:

4 oz semi-sweet chocolate (melted)

½ sugar

3 tbsp corn syrup

2 tbsp water

A lot of recipes called for a mixer or a processor, but my grandma and I wanted to make an every-man kind of recipe, since we know not everyone has those things. Plus they’re heavy and a pain to clean anyway, so bowls it is!

Instructions:

1. Peel and boil the potato, then mash it. Set aside to cool. Go to the bathroom, do your homework, then come back. That should be enough time.

2. Set oven to 350°F.

3. Cream butter. This means putting the sugar and butter into a bowl and mashing it together with a fork until it’s thoroughly mixed.

3. Put everything else in the same bowl, including the mashed potato. Mix and stir well. Work those muscles!

4. Grease a pan (doesn’t matter what kind you use) and spatula batter into pan. Even out if necessary.

5. Bake in over for 40 minutes.

6. Test cake with pick. If nothing sticks, it’s finished. If batter does stick to pick, let it bake a bit longer but make sure it doesn’t burn. Remove and set aside to cool.

For the Drizzle:

1. Cut chocolate into tiny squares.

2. In a small pot, mix sugar, corn syrup, and water.

3. On medium heat, wait for mixture to sizzle and stir it. Do NOT let it boil.

4. Remove from element and add chocolate.

5. Wait for squares to melt, then mix.

6. Drizzle or pour over cake.

Enjoy!

I’m so excited to have a recipe, I’ve wanted to try this since I saw the video! 

ZOÉ / VESPERIA in SEASON 4 TRAILER

SAM WILSON APPRECIATION WEEK | Day 3: Favourite Relationship ↳They cleared the bionic staring machine, and he killed almost everybody’s he’s met. I heard that

So I did some thinking about this scene.

There was trust between Ayo and Bucky. She read his trigger words. She called him White Wolf when she first saw him at the beginning of ep 4.

Note that she also warned him and give him 8 hours. She could’ve easily just attacked the home that him, Sam, and Zemo were staying at but she didn’t. She trusted Bucky and listened to what he had to say first.

Ayo opened up to him and expressed the deep personal shame that Zemo had brought to herself as a member of the Dora Milaje, appointed by T’Chaka. Nevertheless, she gave him a heads up despite the fact that he was running around with her king’s murderer.

So when he interfered in the fight she disarmed him as Zemo got away. I believe she said:

I think that means: “God damn you.”

He betrayed her trust and she called him James not White Wolf. That ain’t good, bro.

I think it’s also important to note that as a warrior of the Dora Milaje she don’t give a shit if he a sad boy or her friend. Okoye dropped her man so quick for Wakanda in the Black Panther movie. So, I’m NOT surprised that Ayo did this as Wakanda always comes first.

Bucky is shocked that they could do that to him. You know, take his arm off. But to Ayo, Bucky in this moment is a means to an end (like Zemo is for him). Now he knows and recognizes how it feels and what those words mean. All she wants is Zemo for killing her king.

She’s sat with this shame and guilt for 7 years. That is, if she didn’t blip out then it would be 2.5 years and would still be quite fresh. I’m also pretty sure she was at the UN when it happened because she accompanied her new king, T’Challa, in Berlin afterwards in Civil War. So this hurts.

So yeah, oh no Bucky’s autonomy... but the man had it coming. Sam straight up told him that they’d be hella mad in ep 3. Wakanda helped his ass even though they didn’t have to and he let the man that murdered their King free...

However, I understand Bucky’s behavior. He is desperate, trying to grasp onto some semblance of himself. He lost Steve, his final attachment to his former self. So, seeing Walker with Sam’s shield and the rise of super soldiers has him acting way out of line. Sam points this out in ep 3 when Bucky wants to break Zemo out of prison:

Then his dumb ass does it anyways and breaks Zemo out of prison. But that’s how desperate he is. That’s how much the shield means to him. Steve saved his life just as much as Wakanda did, if not more. He wants to protect and preserve Steve’s legacy now. That’s his sole purpose. However, now he faces the consequences of his actions.

Also, she left that shit. She left the arm. A multibillion dollar Vibranian arm. So she’s mad that after everything and the warning that he didn’t take her side. But since she left it there’s still hope for reconciliation!

So I understand both sides of why this happened.

would love some feedback :))
