ALso, if I see that fucking "Cool motive, still murder" gif one more time I will literally eat my fucking hat and vomit it back up all over my computer screen.When I saw your post about that, I actually make a screen shot of it because I wanted to talk more about it? Because while I feel your frustrated (and that gif is usually directed at characters I love) at the same time I still find it delightful

Like, the reason that Jake from B99 can be ‘cool motive, still murder’ is that WITHIN THE WORLD OF THE SHOW, there is pretty much nothing worse than murder. This are cops who we’ve seen with paintballs guns more than we’ve seen them with actual firearms.That is a really, really good point that legitimately didn't occur to me

And like, I know on some level that's just the nature of the internet/people delegitimizing ideas they disagree with, and that it's pretty easy to just delete the gif and reblog the rest, but it still really bugs me. I really don't want to be a person who can't be reasonably disagreed with, overall, but I have a really hard time with being dismissed.
And that gif is clearly a great way to dismiss someone without actually having to critically engage in whatever they're actually saying.
This also goes back to a comment from a week or two ago, where I was talking about trauma and how yes, sometimes characters respond to trauma in really shitty ways.
Another thing I'm really sick of in post TWS fandom is the idea that Bucky has suffered enough and is a good person and therefore will have a very standard, textbook, neurotypical recovery

And like, the unfortunate reality is that good people do shitty things in response to trauma all the time. I think I've talked before about my frustration with the idea that good people respond to trauma in one way and bad people another, and I just realized why.
For a period, there, one thing I REALLY loved about Grant Ward's storyline was that he was an abuse survivor who was not evil, but also clearly deeply, deeply fucked up by his history of abuse.

How do you feel about what you just said related to the post-WS murder roadtrip trope? Because that is something that's come up in a lot of fics, I think (that I am not reading, because they're all Steve/Bucky).
