Bucky come back! You can blame it aaaallll on Steeeeve!
Writing Club kept me up until 3 a.m. watching SPN and Suits and then SPN again, and even though I slept until ten all the sudden my fingers are fumbly and I almost responed to a comment on a fic with the wrong "Your." ....Whatever, worth it.
We just wrapped season three of Supernatural, and oh my god, there's a reason I haven't watched the last three eps of that season in years.
.#1, it's depressing as all hell, #2 the phonesex phonedeath critter left a bad taste in my mouth, #3 I get so pissed off at Ruby and every time the boys split up and just fucking everything, I had to clutch a pillow to my chest and hide behind it for most of No Rest For The Wicked.
But guys. The phonedeath critter. It kills people, and then eats their souls. I realize it's never going to happen, but if there was a better sense of continuity on this show, Castiel-as-God would be all over the crocotta. He'd either have a little army of crocotta out collecting souls for him or he'd get busy hunting them so no one gets extra souls besides him, OR MAYBE, MAYBE CAS IS SECRETLY A CROCOTTA. WITH ~WINGS.~
Or not. Did I mention we were up til 3 a.m.? 'Cause we were. x_x
Okay, I had to leave before I could finish/post the above stuff but I JUST got back from Captain America. AND I LIKED IT! I think you have to go into it expecting the yay-yay-USA and accepting it as a semi-historical portrayal of WWII American propoganda. Mostly what I got out of it was this:
BUCKY. ;----; Somebody tell me that he fell in the river and somehow got kryo-ed too? Please? Lie to me if you have to, I need to pretend Bucky is okay. I don't even know why his death choked me up so bad, I'm usually pretty impervious to movie deaths (especially when they do the whole falling-into-a-crevass-thing because seriously, seriously it's been done) but the part where Steve is sitting in the bombed-out bar trying to get drunk and he can't, fucking super-metabolism, and he just wants to escape feeling like his chest has been ripped open and he can't even lose himself in a bottle. He has to live through this, every excruciating second, and he's been a freak all his life but never on this end of the spectrum. And Bucky's one of the very, very few people who looked at him and saw Steve, without any spectrum at all.
So in my head, Bucky got frozen, same as Steve. And Shield wakes up Steve, and he's in complete culture shock, standing in the city he grew up in and a huge, impossible portion of the people he knew or ever met or even saw on the street are dead. It's not that nothing is familiar, everything is just familiar enough, like when Bucky died and every guy who parted his hair like Bucky or smirked like Bucky or whooped like Bucky turned Steve's head like a string given a sharp yank--it's the buildings he knows are hiding in plain sight, and he gets a headache squinting at a street sign for an hour because it's not the right name anymore. And Shield gets him therapists who can't even begin to grasp what he's going to, and Steve tries to get better and be the guy he's always been but it's so hard to breathe, sometimes. Peggy and Howard and his entire team are gone like someone flipped a switch.
And Nick Fury's a smart bitch, right, and he knows that this Steve isn't the Captain America he needs for his A-Team. So he gets his men on it, and presto, a few weeks later, he tips his chin up at Steve and says, "Come with me, got someone who wants to see you."
And at first Steve can't trust his eyes, because they've lied to him before and this person Nick is showing him is so thin and scared, and that's not his Bucky. Steve feels like he's being strangled, and this strange man lifts his head like it's taking every ounce of willpower he has and he looks at Steve. He makes this noise like someone dropped an anvil on the frail bones of his chest, and then he says, "Hey, Cap'n," and Steve's legs--his huge, tree-trunk legs--give out for a second.
Because it's Bucky, just Bucky, the way Steve was always just Steve. And he trips over his feet getting closer, falls into the chair someone's put by Bucky's bed and gasps out, "Bucky," and "Oh my God," and "Thought you were dead," and Bucky makes a weak, grasping movement with his fingers until Steve takes his hand. "Hey, hey, now, Steve, it's okay," he says, and then, "Hey remeber when I said I was turning into you?" And Steve thinks, Yes, thinks It was 70 years back and 8 months ago, and Bucky says, "I didn't quite mean it this much," but he's almost laughing and Steve almost squeezes too tight when he says, "I'll be your Bucky. I'll see you like you saw me." And Bucky grins.
AND EVERYTHING IS FULL-CIRCLE BROMANCE AND NOTHING HURTS THE END.
...okay, I have just imdb-ed this because I'm a sadist, and...dude, what is this "reprogramming"/"winter soldier" stuff? It also says he kills Red Skull, so I'mma assume all this is not-movie!verse and my version is the right one. Um. Yup.
Can someone tell me if Green Lantern is part of the Avengers? Because I have noooo desire to see that movie, but I will if I need to.
