This was something that I had genuinely been curious about when I first came across shifting. I remember the first time I shifted it was for 2 days before I shifted back "accidentally" ( I'm saying that because I did not have any intentions of returning to my crđ).
Anyways when I came back time had moved on because I slept at 11pm and when I came back from my reality it was 6.35am.....
Same as my last shift to my kpop gg reality. I had scripted a 2hrcr=3days Dr ( Yes I know shifttok n shitđ but it was an old script, Same as the first one)
But my point is I went to sleep at around 12? ( Idn remember) And when I opened my eyes it was 2.30pm. And mind you I shifted there for a week.....
Does anyone have a theory about this time moving thing, like was it something that shifttok made up or can time "slow down " idek how to word it but I hope y'all understand what I'm saying
Bucky is high-key appalled by the lack of chivalry and politeness exhibited by the men of the twenty first century. Can't fathom that men ignore women on the train or bus who need seats, that doors aren't being opened for women, seats aren't being pulled out, space isn't made for women as they pass packs of men on the sidewalk. There are many things in this new age world that Bucky can't wrap his head around, but the disregard for women is something he'll never understand, so he opens doors for ladies if they are both going in the same building, vacates seats when there is a woman around in need of space. He can't help it, having grown up in a world entirely different to the one he is now. It is second nature and comes as quickly as breathing, but it stuns you a little the first time you get treated like that. You swoon at the fact Bucky holds the door for you, lets you pass before him, makes sure you walk on the safer side of the pavement, holds your hand when you cross the road, makes sure you get the food and drinks first, offers to drive and pay for date nights, the list is endless. Still, for once in your adult dating life, you don't question the sincerity of his words as they are backed up by actions.
"Did something happen to men while I was gone?" Bucky's confused voice floats down the hall of your apartment as he strides in, kicking his shoes off and placing them neatly on the rack by the bathroom door.
"What do you mean?" You look up from your spot on the couch, laptop sitting on your raised legs. "Like, did they go extinct and come back?"
Bucky reaches the living room and shucks off his jacket and gloves to hang over the chair before coming to the couch and plopping beside you. A soft kiss is pressed to your cheek, stubble grazing your skin as he mumbles a greeting before settling into the plush sofa.
"I mean, did they lose all manners?" he shakes his head in disbelief, hands splaying out in frustrated emphasis. "Do men not open doors for women? Or move out of the way for them on the side walk?"
You close the laptop and stow it away on the small shelf of the coffee table, no longer focusing on the information packets Tony had sent you early this morning.
"What happened?" You ask, reaching up to card your fingers through his hair, enjoying how he melts into your touch.
"I just watched a bucnh'a men in suits practically push a woman out of the way to get through the door." he sighs, clearly exasperated at the lack of respect for other humans. "And then they didn't even hold the door for her! They just let it swing closed. How do they act on dates? I doubt they pay."
You hum, letting his rant continue.
"And I was on the line."
"Online." you correct gently, spiking his hair up with your fingers, the shorter strands finally obeying you.
"I was online," he rectifies. "and I saw this video of a woman talking about a man getting angry that she wasn't gonna go home with him after the first date."
"Please tell me that never happened to you." His attention shifts to you now, genuine distress simmering in his blue eyes, and when you don't answer, he becomes distraught.
"Doll, no," Bucky shakes his head as if you confessed to the murder of his beloved stuffed animal. "Come on, you gotta be joking."
"It was years ago! I was young and stupid and didn't know my worth." You shrug, obviously not as upset as your counterpart. âI've learnt my lesson. I know I am worth at least two dinners now." The joke falls flat as Bucky stares, not amused.
"It's a joke, Buck."
"I know, but I don't like it." He grumbles, folding his arms across his chest like a child. "Don't like that you were treated like that."
"Well, good thing I've got you now, huh?" you abandon his hair, stroking the back of your fingers over his stubbly cheek.
Bucky pouts. "Still don't like it. You deserved better."
You kiss his cheek, feeling his cheeks round as he smiles. "You're too good to me, Mr. Barnes." another kiss to the corner of his mouth. "Even if we did sleep together on the first date."
"Hey! That wasn't the same. We knew each other before that." Bucky protests as you stand from the couch, walking to the kitchen to start on dinner. "At least I paid!"
everyone depicts alpine as a young ish cat but please consider: old lady cat alpine.
- bucky adopts her from the cat shelter because he's charmed by her ornery ways and the way she completely ignores him
- she will NOT move after she settles down for a sleep
- sometimes loses her balance when rubbing her head against bucky and ends up tumbling into his lap
- falls asleep curled around bucky's neck
- yowls like crazy at the Injustice of getting her nails cut
- bucky trims the fluff around her paw pads because otherwise she slips
- shows zero interest in any toys or cat sensory videos. bucky eventually gives up
- people think her hearing is going but really she just ignores everyone
- only eats the fancy cat food
- spends 90% of her day sleeping and/or in bucky's lap (still sleeping)
- refuses to go outside. bucky tried using a cat harness to give her a walk once and she stood with all four legs splayed out staring into the void
- makes weird huffy noises when picked up
- i need senior cat alpine who is spoiled like crazy by bucky
hey
I wanted to ask that nothing really exists? Like everyone I see I know like you donât exists? Like im the only on who exists? N im just making all this up? But like how you can realize/remeber yourself when you donât exist n only i do ?
I hope you understand wht im trying to say đ
When People say ânothing exists as it seems,â it doesnât mean that everyone else is somehow unreal while youâre the only real thing. Itâs more that everything you seem to experienceâyou, others, objects, thoughts, feelingsâare all appearing within Awareness, within a single, undivided reality. Nothing is âmore/less realâ than "anything" else; itâs all equally (=) appearing and dissolving within Awareness.
Imagine the effect of a "dream". While in the dream, everyone and everything seems real, including the âyouâ that seems to move around in that dream. When you wake up, you realize that everything in that dreamâwhether it was people, places, or eventsâarose from the same source, not separate from the dream itself. But this doesnât mean one thing in the dream was real and others werenât; it was all equally dreamt.
In the same way, the âyouâ and âothersâ appearing here are all expressions within Awareness itself. Thereâs no separate, isolated âyouâ who is imagining everything else; rather, everythingâincluding the sense of âmeâ and âyouââis arising within the same field of Awareness.
So, itâs not that âyouâ exist while everyone else doesnât, or that only âyouâ are real. Itâs that everything you experience, yourself included, isnât as separate or distinct as it seems; itâs all simply the appearance of "Awareness". This doesnât diminish anything or anyone; instead, it reveals that "everything" and "everyone" is not actually "everything" and "everyone". It's all equally "THAT".
(affirming myself in the mirror) if that fictional man was real he would fuck you. He would fuck you. You're his exact type. If he saw you he'd get a boner instantly. He would fuck you he would fu
Okay besties, today Iâm giving you the run down of Buckys finances and networth. Because as Iâve said multiple times, heâs obscenely wealthy despite the fact youâd never know by looking at him.
Now first off, MatPat (my fav YouTuber who Iâm so sad is retiring, literally adore him) did a mini theory a few years ago, calculating Buckyâs compound interest in previously earned money from WWII in his frozen bank account while he was presumed dead. It totaled out to $51,143. This is just the money that he earned in the 30s/40s and has grown interest on. This is assuming the money wasnât given to his family and for the purpose of this post, weâll go with that it wasnât. However, MatPat didnât account back pay, for disability pay, and other military pay/benefits.
So as a starter point, weâll use $51,143. Next, Iâm going to calculate his back pay from being MIA/POW because he would have been considered active duty. A MIA/POW is given back pay of 50% of the average per diem rate, for each day held in captivity. The 2023 rate is $157 per day, and I assume that would be similar for him because TFATWS takes place in early 2024. So that means Bucky would get $78.50 per day. There is no time limit on how far back pay can date to, so the entire span of Buckyâs capture is accounted for. As per the Smithsonian memorial in CA:TWS, Bucky was captured in 1944, making it exactly 70 years of capture. So, the back pay for those 70 years, is $2,005,675.
Next, weâll look at the different forms of disability pay he would receive. Iâm only going to look at canonical, confirmed disabilities for this. Bucky would be classified under SMC-N 1/2, where one arm was amputated above the elbow and/or was amputated so close to the shoulder that a prosthetic cannot be worn. Now obviously, Bucky does have a prosthetic but it is implanted into his body, as a majority of his left shoulder seems to have been amputated. Since he is single and has no dependents, aka has no children and is not taking care of any family, and he is still able to work, he would be receiving $6,182 a month.
He also has PTSD, which he would most likely get a 70% percent disability rating for, as 100% is very rare to receive for mental and is considered to be extreme impairment in daily functioning. (He could recieve 80 or 90% but Iâm being generous here and trying to give the most realistic assessment). All this means, his mental illness pay for PTSD would be $1716 a month.
Itâs also canonical that he has brain damage via The Wakanda Files book. We know in that book, heâs described to have pretty severe TBI. However, we donât know anything of his symptoms and the book only describes of the brain scan looks bad and that the serum is keeping him from being more impaired. The VA uses 10 areas of impairment as criteria to rate the severity of TBI disability. The only canonically confirmed area that we know Bucky deals with is memory. Since we know no other symptoms and we know heâs not extremely impaired, Iâm going to estimate heâd be rated at 50%. Which would give him a compensation of $1075 a month.
Now, we can assume Bucky is retired from the military. From being a retired sergeant, we can assume his monthly pension is around $5,482.
Reminder, all VA pay is untaxed. All of these together, his monthly salary is $14,455. However, this is not including disability back pay. The VA sometimes will pay a lump sum from back from when the diagnosis was made. Assuming the Wakandans were involved in Buckyâs trial and pardon, Iâd assume some of his medical records were brought in as well. Back dating to when he was being treated in Wakanda, thatâs 7 years, however we donât know if the blip would count so for that reason, Iâll say 2 years. So, his lump sum would be around $215,352.
Now, endgame was in October, six months before TFATWS, meaning it took place around March/April. Within, the span of October to March, Bucky woulda have accumulated $86,730. Because even if his pardon wasnât official yet in October, he would still receive payment for that month.
Finally, in grand total, all of this is $2,358,900. His networth would be in a similar, slightly lower range. Meaning: yes, Bucky Barnes is a millionaire and nobody would ever guess.
I often think about that one interview where someone asks a young taylor swift if she doesn't find it wrong to dropname her exes in songs and she's like "well if they didn't want songs about them they shouldn't have done bad things" and I honestly think she's so right like I see absolutely no flaw in her logic. Anyways stream my new single called "Taylor Swift's Carbon Emissions" available on all streaming platforms until I get a cease and desist under the threat of a defamation lawsuit :)
me reading straight up pornography: hmm⌠this one just doesnât have enough accurate character psychoanalysis to get me off

The jingle of keys in the doorknob had you lifting your eyes from your book, followed by the sound of the door opening and closing softly. The quiet whispers of a jacket being taken off, laces being untied, keys being set on the small table beside the door travelled through the apartment, meeting your ears and bringing a smile to your face.
Soft footsteps padded against the hardwood floor, careful to avoid any creaky spots.
"I'm awake, Buck," you called out softly from the comfort of your bed, and you heard him pause his movements. And then continue, a bit quicker than before.
Brown hair and blue eyes popped around the the edge of the door frame, brows furrowed. "It's midnight. Why are you still awake?"
You shrugged, sitting up in bed and setting your book aside. "Dunno, really. Got caught up reading."
Bucky frowned, and stepped into the room, walking over to the bed. "You can't sleep?"
It was a casual question, but you sensed the undertone of worry laced through it, and smiled to yourself.
"Actually, I spent most of the evening redecorating, so I'll probably start snoring as soon as the lights are off."
Bucky's hands reached for yours, grabbing them and bringing them up to his lips as he stood in front of you. One, two, three kisses along your knuckles. One hand, then the other.
"Redecorating?" he murmured against your skin, and you nodded slyly. His eyes narrowed, partially in amusement, partially in curiosity.
You cleared your throat and pulled your hands back, settling yourself back into the fluffy down of your pillows and blankets. "How was work today?"
At your question, Bucky's jaw ticked.
"It was fine."
You studied him for a few seconds, and cocked your head. "Just fine?"
He let out a heavy sigh, then collapsed atop the comforter at the foot of the bed. On nights like this, when he came home later than usual, the tension in his shoulders a bit more prominent than usual, the bags under his eyes a bit heavier, he found it hard to form sentences adequate enough to explain how he felt or what he needed.
Ever since the government cleared him of all charges and his mandated therapy ended, Bucky had taken up a job at the DCSA.
Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency.
On paper, James Buchanan Barnes was an ordinary, ex-military security guard working for the Department of Defense and the United States.
In reality, the executive branch of the federal government reached out to him themselves and offered him a job doing what they claimed he did best: making people disappear, and making it seem like an accident. He was hesitant at first, unwilling to be the very thing he tried so hard to run away from being, but soon enough, they had made it very clear he had limited options: accept the position, or get thrown in prison for all the charges they claimed to have dropped.
So, for all his hesitating and hatred, Bucky Barnes was the United States government's own personal hitman, killing anybody who posed a threat to the life of the president, his family, or anybody in the Senate.
At least they paid better than HYDRA, Bucky had once joked. You could see, in his eyes, how much it pained him to revert back to his old ways, once again not having a choice.
Bucky cleared his throat, and glanced at you, blinking away the shadows behind his eyes.
"It's fine, sweetheart. I promise. It could have been worse."
Your heart cracked in your chest and you frowned, burying your cheek even deeper into your pillow as you looked at him. "If you say so."
Bucky pursed his lips to the side, then looked toward the door connecting your bedroom to the bathroom. Without a word, he got up, walking towards the bathroom and simultaneously pulling his shirt over his head. You smiled to yourself as you watched him disappear behind the door, flicking the lights on and letting the soft, yellow glow flood the floor of your room. You listened to him shuffle about, letting out a soft sigh as he unbuckled his belt.
His movements paused.
Your smile grew.
"Y/N?" he called out.
"Yes, babe?"
The door creaked open all the way, and behind it stood Bucky, holding his toothbrush in one hand, with a confused look on his face.
"Why is there a pink bow on my toothbrush?"
It took all your strength not to burst into a fit of giggles immediately as you schooled your face into one of nonchalance, and said, "I told you. I redecorated."
Bucky's bewildered eyes flickered from you, to the toothbrush, then back to you. Then he turned to look at the bathroom. And you saw the exact moment in which he realized there were pink bows everywhere. Big, small, light pink, dark pink, neon pink, cotton, silk, linen. A variety of ribbons tied in bows around everything you could think of: toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo bottles, the soap dispenser, the toilet brush, the towel rack, your skincare bottles, his deodorant and cologne.
"Y/N," Bucky said calmly.
"Yes?" you replied, batting your eyelashes innocently.
"Can you please tell me, why, exactly, you decided on redecorating with pink bows everywhere?"
You hummed, then shrugged. "You know, I'm not exactly sure. I just think they make pretty things look so much prettier. I may have gone a bit overboard, though."
"You think?"
You bit back a grin as you watched him shake his head, as if to snap him from his stupor of amusement, and bend over the sink to brush his teeth. You watched him brush his teeth, wash his face, change out of his jeans and into pajama pants. You tracked him as he turned the lights off and sighed, trudging over to the bed, exhaustion creeping into every one of his movements and pulling at him like gravity. You opened your arms wide, lifting the covers as you did so, and Bucky gladly crawled into them, nuzzling his head into your chest and wrapping his arms around your waist and back.
You placed a soft kiss to the crown of his head, and let your arms come loosely around his neck. Bucky said nothing, content to lay in silence and listen to the beat of your heart as it lulled him to sleep.
After a few minutes of you silently running your fingers through his hair, you whispered his name. "Bucky?"
He hummed in answer against your chest.
"You know how I said pink bows make pretty things even prettier?"
You felt, rather than saw, his body pause at the question, and then his head was up and his blue eyes were staring into yours with a puzzled expression. "Yes... why? What's that have to do with anything?"
"Well..."
You paused. All of a sudden, you felt stupid. Bucky's furrowed brows and sleepy eyes urged you to continue.
"I have a pink ribbon under the pillow, actually, and I was... I wanted to..."
"What, honey?"
"Well, I was wondering if I could tie it around your arm."
Bucky paused, blinking up at you slowly, as if he hadn't heard you.
"My arm?"
You nodded.
"Why?"
You shrugged. "Because it's already beautiful, and I want to make it even more so."
He laid there quiet for a moment, and you were about to tell him to forget about it, but then he unwrapped his arms from around you, letting you drop flat onto your back, and shoved a hand beneath your head. Beneath your pillow.
He emerged with a baby pink ribbon in his fingers, the material pliable and soft in his grip, as he handed it to you.
"Go ahead," he said simply.
You gave him a skeptical look. "Really?"
He shrugged with one shoulder. "Why not? Did you think I'd say no?"
You fell quiet, then let out a sigh through your nose, turning over slightly to better reach his arm. His left arm.
You wrapped the ribbon around his bicep, the vibranium cold and unyielding, a stark contrast to the warm pink silk in your fingers. You looped it through, pulling it taut, then let go. You stared at it for a second, then glanced up at Bucky. Leaning in, you pressed a light kiss to the exposed metal right above the bow.
Bucky let out a shuddering breath, then laid down again, this time face to face with you. His fingers traced soft, swirling patterns against the skin of your arm, leaving goosebumps in their wake, and you closed your eyes against the feeling.
"I love you so much," he muttered quietly. "You know that, right?"
You nodded, eyes closed and a smile playing at your lips. "I know. I love you, too. Every part of you."
Bucky loosed a breath that sounded somewhat like a disbelieving breath, and you felt him lean in and press a kiss to your temple.
You fell asleep without even realizing, lulled into dreams by the steady thrum of his heartbeat and his hand stroking your hair.
TFAWS Bucky
Summary:Â Sam teaches Bucky some "new" slang he uses on you to impress you into a date.
Content warning:Â Mild language, gullible Bucky? Little fluff
âDude, you need to get out there moreâÂ
âI get outâ Bucky protested, and Sam scoffed at him.Â
âGoing out to play checkers in the park Sunday mornings with old war vets isnât what I mean Buck. Go out with a lady, or a dude even, but get out, meet someoneâ he said making Bucky grumble.
They sat in the new office taking a break from setting it up as Sam went over some equipment as Bucky sipped his coffee while scanning the newspaper.Â
Since the flagsmashers, theyâve been busy putting out fires all over the place.Â
Sam hired you to be his office administrator, and your first day was tomorrow.
âWhen Y/n starts, youâre going to have to be nice to herâ Sam warned Bucky and he rolled his eyes at Sam.Â
âIâm niceâ he spat, and Sam shook his head.Â
âJust donât scare her off. You can be broody, so just smile occasionally. Y/n is helping me out by doing this job, so I expect you to behaveâ he got up from his desk.Â
âCome on, itâs Sunday, letâs go back to my place and watch some footballâÂ
Sam lead Bucky out of the office.
You woke up early on Monday morning, excited to start your job.Â
Yes, it was a Monday and excited and Mondays should never be said in the same sentence, but you didnât care, you were excited to be working with your friend Sam. He needed someone with experience to run things while he was away, and he instantly thought of you.Â
You worked for a small tech company that folded within a few months of opening, so you were available and looking when Sam called you and offered you a job, which you were grateful for. So, you got yourself ready and made your way to the office to start your new job with one of your best friends at your side.
You walked into the office.
âMorning Samâ
âHey Y/nâÂ
He gave you a quick hug.Â
He showed you to your desk, which was at the front of the room next to some plants and a few chairs.Â
âWow, still setting up, are we?â you joked looking around the sparse office.Â
âYeah, Buck and I were here all weekend organizing things. Got your desk, phone, and computer set upâ Â
Of course, it was Stark. Pepper must have set Sam up with some things.
You and Sam were working away. lugging empty boxes down the hall when you noticed a man walk up. He was tall, had short dark hair, slight scruff on his cheeks, and bright blue eyes. He was quite handsome and thought this must be Bucky.
Bucky was expecting a regular old day when he made his way to the office. He knew of you, but he had never met you or seen pictures of you, but he knew who you thanks to Sam constantly blabbering about you.Â
He knew who you were instantly as he saw you struggling. He thought you were cute as you huffed and puffed your way down the hall, but he froze when you approached him.Â
âHelloâÂ
He nodded.Â
âHereâ
He took the boxes from you.Â
âThanks, youâre a lifesaverâÂ
You could have sworn you saw him blush before he turned away.
You walked back to your desk and sat down. The man from earlier who helped you with the empty boxes walked into the office.Â
âIâm BuckyâÂ
You smiled.Â
âY/n. I kind of figured that outâ
âSam around?â asked Bucky.
âI think heâs in his officeâ
Bucky made his way to see Sam.Â
âMorning BuckâÂ
Sam was busy placing pictures around his desk wondering where to hang them.Â
âI see you met Y/nâÂ
He looked at the empty walls.Â
âYeahâÂ
Bucky shrugged but kept his eyes on you.Â
âDonât go flirting with herâ he warned, and Bucky smirked.Â
He was in no shape to flirt, not when he couldnât string more than a few words together in front of you.
âIâm seriousâÂ
Sam warned.
Bucky left to get a cup of coffee. His office was next to Samâs and he was almost set up as the only thing left was the laptop which he scowled at.
âI donât know what Iâm doing?âÂ
Bucky called, unboxing the laptop and looking at it like it was a foreign object.Â
âHeyâÂ
You peeked into Buckyâs office.Â
âNeed a hand with that?â pointing to the laptop.
âO-okâÂ
He offered you the box grimacing at his stuttering.Â
Why was he so nervous around you and why was his palm sweaty?Â
You unwrapped it and took everything out, placing the cables on the desk. Bucky watched you intently as you worked efficiently at plugging things in as the screen came to life.Â
âJust follow the instructions on the screenâÂ
You noticed Bucky scowl at it.Â
âYou need to set up a username and passwordâÂ
You away the empty boxes.Â
âWhat do I make it?â he asked, and you shrugged.Â
âAsk Sam but keep it simple. And if it seems funny to you, come and get me and Iâll help you. You know Sam likes to joke aroundâ you warned before leaving to go back to your desk.
Bucky must have gotten his laptop set up as you could hear Sam and him argue about it. They did that a lot, but it was all in fun as they took jabs at each other. They were like an old married couple.Â
The day flew by as you were almost finished when you saw Sam walk out and lean on your desk with Bucky following.Â
âWant to come out for drinks with us? Catch up?â he asked.Â
âNo thanks Sam. Going to my sisters tonight to be the cool aunt. Babysitting duties and all. Maybe next time?âÂ
âSure thingâÂ
The three of you left.
âYou ok Buck?â Sam looked over at Bucky who watched you walk in the opposite direction of where they were headed.Â
âI should have walked with her back to her apartmentâ he admitted, and Sam scoffed.Â
âY/n can take care of herself. Sheâs a former special forces agent, served with me overseesâ he said, and Bucky nodded.Â
He was still watching you with a light smile on his face.Â
âYou, sure you're ok?â Sam asked and Bucky nodded.Â
âCome onâ Sam said, suddenly aware his friend may have a small crush.
âAll Iâm saying Buck, is just go up to her and talk to herâ Sam said the following week.Â
It had been a week of working with Sam and Bucky and you were loving it.Â
âDo you think so? I used to be so good at this stuffâ he said and Sam snorted.Â
âRight, the ladies man thingâ Sam rolled his eyes.Â
âI donât know what to say to herâ he said, and Sam got an idea.Â
He knew you were smart, witty, and would understand. Sam was always up for a bit of fun.Â
âJust talk to her like normal. Y/n is super cool and when youâre finished, say Cowabunga dude. Chicks like thatâ he said, and Bucky looked at him weirdly.Â
âWhat? Thatâs the stupidest thing Iâve ever heard. What does that even mean?â asked Bucky.Â
âIt means youâre into herâ he shrugged, having a hard time keeping a straight face.Â
âFineâ Bucky mumbled. He caught you walking in from lunch.
âHey guysâ you waved and sat down at your desk.Â
Sam nudged Bucky and Bucky swatted at him.Â
âIâm goinââ he whispered.Â
Bucky walked up to your desk. You gave him a smile and it almost knocked him over.
âHey Buckyâ
He stood there for a bit, and it was a little awkward.Â
âYou, ok?âÂ
âOh, Iâm fineâŚnice weather outâ he blurted out.Â
You looked at him funny but answered.Â
âYeah, itâs getting nicer out. Glad there is warm weather coming this week.âÂ
âI like your sweaterâ Bucky blurted out making you blush a little.Â
âThanksâÂ
You looked down at your sweater and smiled.Â
âWell, cowabunga dudeâÂ
He turned around and left.Â
You sat there staring at Buckyâs retreating back with your mouth open.
Did-did he just say Cowabunga dude? What the hell was that?Â
You saw Bucky go back to his office and you smiled at him, thinking he might not be feeling right, or you misheard.Â
Sam was down the hall walking to his office with his hand over his mouth trying to conceal his laughter since he heard the whole thing.Â
âI think it workedâ Bucky proudly said standing in Samâs office.Â
âOh, yeah, really?âÂ
Sam had to hide a snicker.Â
âGot anything else I can say to her to show her Iâm interested?â asked Bucky and Sam grinned widely gesturing to Bucky to sit down.
The next day, you brought coffees in for the guys since you were running late.Â
âSo sorry guys, my alarm didnât go offâÂ
You placed the coffees down on the counter. You were only 10 minutes late, but you felt bad, so you got a few coffees as apologies.Â
âNo problem dudetteâÂ
Bucky grabbed his coffee and went to his office.Â
You stood there with an open mouth then looked at Sam.Â
âWhat was that?â Sam shrugged and took his coffee to his office.Â
Weird.
You spent the morning organizing some files as you saw Bucky make his way over to you.Â
âGot time for some lunch?â he asked, and you frowned slightly.Â
âStill on hold with tech support and these files arenât going to file themselves. Rain check?â you asked, and Bucky frowned lightly.Â
âAlright. Donât have a cowâÂ
You stared at him.Â
âWhat was that?âÂ
âDonât have a cowâ he replied then walked to his office.Â
Sam was out for lunch, so you texted him.
You: Why is Bucky suddenly talking like Bart Simpson?
Sam: I have no idea what youâre talking about
You: You sure?
Sam: Maybe?
You: SamâŚ
Sam: Come on, itâs funny
You: It kind of isâŚbut why?
Sam: He likes you. Wanted to get the nerve to talk to you more and maybe ask you out. I gave him some sayings I told him will help
You: OMG Sam. What if he was doing this to someone else who isnât me?
Sam: LOL then itâd be funnier? IDK?
You: Weâre talking about this when you get backâŚthe poor guy thinks those are pick up linesâŚ
Sam: I knowâŚ
You: SamâŚhonestlyâŚ
Sam: FineâŚ
You: ...
Sam: ...
You put your phone down and chuckled lightly as your other line finally got through to tech support.
It was the end of the week, and you were grateful for a few days off. Sam had you running ragged as you were busy fielding calls and information for the new team.Â
You met Joaquin a few times when he met with Sam as well as Peter and Kate came by to check out the new place. They seemed great and eager to start their new roles alongside Sam and Bucky.
Bucky watched you work from his office. He was thinking today would be the day he would ask you out for a drink.Â
âHey Y/n?âÂ
âYes Bucky?âÂ
âCan you come here for a minute?âÂ
You got up from your desk and made it to Buckyâs office.Â
âYeah?â
 âHiâŚâ
"Hello..."
âI was wonderingâŚwellâŚwould you like to go for a drink with me after work?â he asked, and you smiled.Â
âSure BuckyâÂ
He smiled bright.
âCool. CowabungaâÂ
You smirked then looked at the ground to hide your snort as you fake coughed.Â
âYou, ok?â asked Bucky and you nodded.Â
âFine, all goodâ you gave him a thumbs up as you left and went back to your desk.Â
The fact that Bucky Barnes asked you out made your insides flippy and squishy. You sat there for the rest of the day with a dopey smile on your face. You are going to have to tell him about Samâs fun he was having since the poor guy is so sure of himself.
You and Bucky walked to the bar a few blocks from the office. He put his hand at the small of your back as the two of you walked into the bar and headed to a booth.Â
âIâll get you a drinkâÂ
Bucky made his way to the bar.Â
You sat in the booth and watched him interact with the bartender. He made his way back to the table.Â
âThereâ He handed you your drink.Â
âThanks. Cheers?â Bucky held out his beer to you which you clinked before taking a sip.Â
You took a sip of your drink and squished your face. It was quite sour.Â
âIs your drink, ok?â asked Bucky and you nodded.Â
âA little on the sour side but itâs ok, reallyâŚâÂ
âLet me get you anotherâ
"Itâs ok Bucky, reallyâÂ
âIf he made it wrong, I can go back and tell himâÂ
Bucky was getting up.Â
âDonât have a cowâÂ
Bucky looked at you weirdly.Â
âThat was my line?âÂ
Bucky grumbled making you laugh. You shifted closer to him in the booth.Â
âBuckyâŚDo you wonder about those lines?â you quietly asked as Bucky thought about it.Â
âNot really. Sam said they would workâ he admitted.Â
âThink about itâŚSam said they would work. Have you heard them used anywhere else? Have you heard Sam say those lines to anyone at all?â you gently asked him as you patted the back of his gloved hand.Â
Bucky was smart and you didnât want to make him feel bad as he thought about it.Â
âDammit Samâ he said then rolled his eyes.Â
You laughed hard and Bucky had a hard time hiding a smirk on his face.Â
 âI think Sam was having some fun with youâÂ
âSo those arenât current pick-up lines?â he said flatly.Â
âNo Buck. Those are Bart Simpson sayingsâÂ
âWho?âÂ
"Bart SimpâŚnever mind. Iâll show you sometimeâ you patted the back of Buckyâs hand.Â
âWellâŚthey worked though. I got you here, didnât I?â teased Bucky and you rolled your eyes but laughed.Â
âYeahâŚthey didâ you admitted.Â
âWell then, Cowabungaâ Bucky said as he sipped his drink then gave you his classic smirk.
Thinking about reader presenting Bucky with a baby shirt to tell him that they're having a baby but clueless Bucky gets hyped and puts it on Alpine like in that one tiktok with the dude and his dog.
Bucky Barnes x reader
You get your grumpy old man a smartphone. Chaos ensues.
.
.
.
Bucky suspiciously inspected the black rectangle between his fingers. âThatâs not the phone I had in mind.â Of course, he had probably been thinking of a damn rotary phone when you suggested he needed something to keep in touch with people. You knew he had this weird relationship with modern technology, he was very wary of everything electronic and if he didnât get the hang of it immediately he would just get frustrated. On the other hand, if he was able to figure it out himself he was openly proud of it, telling you how easy it was. You always had to walk the fine line between something enhanced enough that it was actually useful these days and simple enough that he wouldnât become grumpy and pout about it while talking your ear off at how âthe simpler timesâ were called that for a reason.
A Smartphone was very very risky. Sure, you couldâve found an old flip phone or a Nokia brick but those things just hadnât survived the test of time and according to your very professional opinion as his partner and self-proclaimed emotional support nuisance, this man desperately  needed to stay in contact with the few people he would call his friends.
Despite your worry you put on your most supportive smile and turned the phone in his hand so he held it right side up. âTry it at least, okay? Itâs cool.â You tried to assure him. He didnât have to do a lot, you already set it up for him and downloaded all the apps you deemed necessary, helpful or fun, you even turned on the accessibility option so he could navigate his phone with one hand since the metal one wouldnât work on a screen and would probably also leave scratches, so all that was left for him was to explore his new toy. You guided his pointer finger to the side of the phone and let him press the little button which made the screen turn on. Bucky gave you an unsure glance before turning his attention back to the phone in his hand and just kindaâŚstared at it until the screen turned off again. For a moment you didnât know what was going on until you realized that with Bucky, specificity was key. You shook your head to shoo away the previous confusion his behavior caused and shuffled closer to him. âDo it again.â You encouraged him. Buckyâs brows furrowed slightly.
Oh no.
You held your breath, waiting for him to potentially hand the phone right back to you and suggesting that writing letters would be enough. After what felt like a minute he finally pressed the button again and you quietly released your breath. âGreat! Now you just need to drag your thumb gently over the screen and youâre good to go.â Bucky slowly followed your instructions and you could practically feel the pride radiating off him, his eyes lighting up. Still, he tried to play it cool. âHuh. That was easy.â
Not specific enough.
You looked at your phone and tried to make out what exactly Bucky had sent you. It mustâve been a picture of his face, right? You thought you could see the brown of his hair in this blurry mess but on the other hand it could also beâŚmaybe a bowl of chocolate cereal? Some Chili, maybe? No, there was definitely too little red for it to be Chili.
The man recently learned how to text like a normal person, more or less, but you didnât know he also kind of figured out how to send pictures. His picture moved upwards when another blurry mess appeared in your chat. You squinted your eyes at the new picture, it was mostly white with some grey stripe in the middle. You gave up, no way you could figure out what the hell that one was.
BuckyâŚwhat is that? You typed out. The next message he sent you gave you move questions than answers.
I need a new phone. That was impossible, his smartphone was less than three days old. Sure, it couldâve cracked but you were sure he wouldâve told you about that.
Whatâs wrong with your phone? Maybe I can help? You suggested. You didnât have to wait for an answer too long.
Yes, please. You quietly chuckled to yourself, half amused by his struggles, half compassionate of them. You decided it would be best to talk to him face to face so you raked your fingers through your hair a few times to hide the fact that youâve been hanging around in your bed for the last few hours and clicked the video call option on your screen. It rang and rang andâŚrangâŚuntil finally your screen lit up, or dulled down because all you could see was darkness with a touch of a chestnut color. You shouldâve known that this would happen.
âBucky, itâs a video call.â You informed him and watched as he pulled the phone away from his ear and instead looked at his screen, his brows furrowed like he always did when he lost a fight against technology. âOhâŚâ He grumbled.
âSo, whatâs wrong with your phone?â Bucky pressed his lips together, his eyes looking anywhere but at his phone.
âBucky?â You asked, raising an eyebrow. Bucky let out a sigh and wiped his face with his right hand but you could see the slight blush forming on the apples of his cheeks.
âWas anyone going to tell me that there are two cameras? Why the hell would anyone need two?â You saw him lean against the headrest and turn his head to the side with an annoyed expression. Your heart melted a little bit, you couldnât help but find it endearing at how clueless he was when it came to things that were common knowledge to you.
âJames, stop pouting.â There was a tone of amusement in your voice even though you tried to feign sternness. Buckyâs head shot back towards where he could see you on the screen in his hand and blinked a few times as if he was trying to comprehend what you just said. You never really called him by his first name and his reaction made you clench your jaw and hold your breath so you wouldnât burst out laughing.
âDonât do that.â
âDo what?â You asked innocently and batted your lashes towards your camera. Bucky narrowed his eyes but couldnât suppress the little smile that was tugging on the corners of his mouth. You grinned triumphantly, happy that you could at least lighten his mood a little bit. âAlright, alright, Iâm sorry.â You finally said and playfully scrunched your nose. âSo was that it? Did you have a problem taking pictures because you tried to take them with the outer camera?â Buckys smile slightly faltered but he chuckled nonetheless.
âYeah, I guess. Sorry to be a bother with all theâŚyou know, modern stuff, I-â You cut him off immediately. âDonât you dare apologize for that, youâre still learning and Iâm happy to help. Hey, Iâm very proud of you for making it work with the phone.â Bucky rolled his eyes good-naturedly but you could see his eyes soften. âI try.â
You continued talking to him for a while about nothing in particular until you decided that you both needed some rest and hung up. It was merely twenty minutes later, you just settled down and closed your eyes when your phone vibrated. A message from Bucky. You curiously opened the message to see if he had any more problems but instead your lips curled into a big, bright smile.
He sent you a picture, this time you could fully make out what it was, a photo of a shirtless Bucky laying on his couch, his eyes crinkled as he wore a proud grin with the caption I figured it out!

Imagine showing up to work one day and people are like "jesus fucking christ there's a corpse in here", herd you to the back room and everyone who sees you also agrees that there is now a dead body where you are sitting, with the appropriate amount of shock and disgust about it. You figure it's some kind of a prank that they're pulling, but also the people that you know aren't into pranks, or aren't very good actors, are treating you like a corpse. They go weirdly back and forth between talking about you as if you're not there, and politely asking you to stay still while they figure out who you're supposed to call in case of a dead body randomly appearing.
Paramedics show up, study you thoroughly and agree that while they can't see any apparent sign of death, you are, indeed, dead, and ask you to climb aboard the ambulance. You're taken to the temporary corpse storage that hospitals have.
On the way there you ask them whether this kind of shit happens often, and while they won't look at you, the paramedics agree that they've never had a talking corpse before, though they won't question the fact that you're moving on your own.
You're eventually led to a morgue, where you're shown a slab to lay on, and at this point you don't really even question it, you just climb onto the Corpse Shelf and lay down, maybe have a little nap, with no idea what's going to happen next.
Then you wake up to someone walking into the morgue, who has the shit scared out of them when you move, and they're like "dude what the fuck, you're not supposed to be here, this place is for storing dead bodies" and when you're like "aw man sorry I thought I was a dead body" they have no idea whether you're joking and they don't care, you're just chased out of there.
And you just kinda go home and take a shower, show up to work normally the next day and nobody questions it.
And basically that's probably how those ants feel when scientists spray them with the Pheromone That Dead Ants Smell Like, and just hang out at the dead-ant-pile until the smell wears off.
So you make Sam Winchester drink demon blood. But where's the brotherly parallel? Where's the goodie counterpart? Why not the blonde brother sucking some grace out of, oh I don't know, his best friend angel. Why.

Iâm in a reading slump. Can you please suggest some light reading to push me out of it? :)
here you go.
also a few more additions since then â
beartown trilogy by fredrik backman: itâs about a town devoted to ice hockey, and a really really really well-done story of where it takes the community
against everything by mark greif: essays on a whole bunch of things including the commodification of food, exercise and sex among other things; really quite thoughtfully done. the book sort of lingers in the background: i started it sometime last year and i pick it up when i feel like it after weeks and months
the dangers of smoking in bed by mariana enriquez: a little heavier than what you'd normally seek out in light reading, but it's good nonetheless. a collection of gothic horror, all set in buenos aires, all revolving around women; i found the book very darkly fascinating
ghachar ghochar by vivek shanbag: about a family that becomes rich very suddenly, and what that does to the family fabric, their sense of self and morality; it's a quick read
hello! it's been a while since you've posted any essay collection đ would you be willing to share your favourites of this year with us?

Crack drabble, imagine after Bucky gets healed from Wakanda and all that, he moves into the compound with everyone else. Life is honestly pretty good. Except one thing. At first he was going to just leave it but the more he thinks about it, the more its settled.
He's going to do it.
It's the one thing he really misses and its risky given how big the compound is, would Tony really even notice if there was a little 4 legged friend running around? Technically there wasn't a no pets policy in place anyway and it wasn't that different from a dog...not really.
One secret mission and 2 half eaten Henley's later
It wasn't easy. Bucky had to make 3 excuses that were only semi believable when he left and that was the easy part. The hard part was after he returned. Bucky groaned, stepping off the jet seeing that everyone was home, not a single person away for a mission to make his job easier.
"You better be quiet or we'll both get caught" Bucky hissed to his friend who was stuffed into a giant duffle tucked under his arm. He sped right through the living room without giving anyone a second glance, breathing a sigh of relief once he got to his room. He let his friend out, who didn't waste a second skipping over to the bed and hopping on, curling up onto a pillow. "Just like old times, huh" Bucky snorted before showering and going to bed himself.
Of course it was only going to be a matter of time before his secret came to light. Which happened to be the very next day when the stealthy super soldier when down with his new pet for a snack around midnight, his eye growing wide when Sam, Steve and Tony were also munching by the kitchen island.
"What the hell"
"Barnes..."
"Yes?" Bucky blinked innocently as if his friend hadn't made his way over to chew Steve's shorts.
"Is-is that a-
"BAAAA" the little goat blinked up at Tony before slowly walking up to him, letting his head bump against his hand.
"Aww, he likes you" Bucky smiled like a proud parent while the other three men stared at him in disbelief. It didn't take long for Sam to cave, scratching him behind the ears and cooing at him.
"Where did you get a goat"
"Wakanda"
"Oh- wait- YOU STOLE A GOAT FROM WAKANDA??!"

So I really want a scene of one of the Flerkittens (white with blue eyes) to be wandering around the street meowing and then we see boots coming up to it and two hands reach out and then you see it.
The metal arm.
It picks up the kitten and walks off, maybe if you're feeling really fancy maybe a few lines of quiet "hey, hey, it's okay Sweetheart" or something like that and then BOOM we have Alpine in the MCU
Then cut to Thunderbolts and Bucky still has no idea that Al is a Flerken until they're in a fight and she gets attacked and Bucky is terrified they're gonna hurt his cat and then Alpine just gobbles them up and then like Yelena is like "JAMES BARNES WHAT THE FUCK"... Cut to Bucky looking equal parts horrified and impressed and just picks up Alpine and goes "uh...good girl?"
Pairing: Bucky X Reader
Summary: Road trips are usually pretty boring, but you and Bucky find a way to pass the time.

"Can you move your seat up?"
There's a brief pause, almost like Sam's thinking about it, before - "no."
Silence hangs heavily in the car for a long moment as Steve drives and you can't help but feel bad for Bucky.
He's squished in behind Sam, While you've got a decent amount of room behind Steve.
"We can switch, if you want?" You offer quietly, nudging Bucky's knee with yours.
"Steve's not stopping the car just so Terminator can feel more comfortable," Sam interjects, ignoring the ice of Bucky's stare.
"I'm sure we can switch spots while he's driving. We've done far more on missions with less room, I have faith. Unbuckle your seatbelt."
"Yes ma'am."
You take off your own seatbelt, ignoring Steve's warning look in the rearview mirror.
"Okay, I'm gonna climb over you in the middle seat so when you scoot over I'll climb over and then we'll be set!"
Foolproof! Brilliant!
Bucky scoots over to the middle and you take a deep breath, preparing yourself, then grab his shoulders and stretch one leg over his lap.
Steve chooses that particular moment to hit a bump in the road, sending you tumbling into Bucky and forcing his face into your chest.
Your shirt of choice today is fairly low cut, leaving little to the imagination, even less now that Bucky's face is pressed to your goods.
Regaining your coordination feels like it takes a lifetime, but you eventually manage to pry your boobs out of Bucky's face and plop down in the seat behind Sam.
Your heart hammers in your chest and you avoid looking at Bucky with all your might as you put your seatbelt on.
It's no secret that there's tension between the two of you that has only been growing the more time you spend together, but now? Now that you pretty much forced him to motorboat you?
Horrible. Stupid. The worst idea you've ever had ever.
You almost pray for the car to roll off a cliff to save you from the embarrassment licking up your spine.
The ride is silent for a little while, with some of Sam's music being the only thing stopping it from being too heavy, and soon his soft snores accompany the tunes.
After maybe about half an hour, Bucky's knee brushes against yours once briefly, then rests against it more firmly, with purpose.
Your gaze darts over to him but he's got his eyes focused out the window. You let your eyes fall to where he's manspreading into your personal space, and freeze when your eyes land on the bulge in his pants.
The bulge that certainly was not there before the two of you switched spots, not that you looked.
And now you can't tear your eyes away from it.
Sure, all this time the two of you have been flirty and a little more than friendly, but never to this extent.
Your eyes raise to his face once more and your heart stops for a moment when you meet his gaze.
You're caught now.
Swallowing hard, you glance at his crotch once more then turn to look out your own window, squeezing your thighs together in an attempt at fighting the warmth that's quickly spreading.
Bucky rolls his window down, and the light mechanical whirring sound masks the soft gasp that leaves you when his hand lands on your thigh.
You glance down at where his hand is, watching as his fingers flex as he squeezes your supple flesh.
Your body acts on its own, thighs spreading slightly and giving him the green light he needs to slide his hand up closer to your centre.
Eyes focused on the rearview mirror, you slowly grab Bucky's discarded jacket and drape it over your lap while spreading your legs further, successfully hiding his fingers as they dust over your core.
"Cold?" He asks, glancing at you as he slides his hand down your pants.
You swallow hard and nod, leaning back and breathing through your mouth as he slides a thick finger through your folds.
"With the window open it's a little breezy, but the fresh air is nice," you whisper, breath hitching when he rubs your clit gently.
He nods his agreement, coating his middle finger in your essence then slowly pushing it inside of you.
"Clears the head."
You nod, eyes falling shut as he begins a steady pace, pushing on your walls deliciously slow.
"Exactly," the words are a mere breath on your lips as you lose yourself in the feeling of him.
He leans his head back, his eyes focused on your face as he massages your walls, pulling his finger out only to push two right back in.
He watches as you pull your bottom lip between your teeth, brows furrowing as you try your hardest to stay quiet through the slow building pleasure.
It's almost torturously slow, and he knows that, but watching your small twitches and movements has Bucky's dick growing hard enough to cut diamonds.
"We got a good day for this, huh?" Bucky asks, grinning when you struggle to open your eyes.
"Yeah it's... good... it's really good," you whisper, eyelids fluttering slightly before you finally raise your glassy eyes to his.
"I could go for a snack soon though, something sweet to eat."
"Mhmm," you let out a soft moan of agreement as he slips a third finger inside you, pumping them in and out at a slightly faster speed than before.
Not fast enough to draw attention to the two of you, but fast enough for you to be struggling to keep still.
"Next gas station isn't too far out. They probably won't have much but we can stop there to grab a snack and stretch," Steve's voice says from the front seat, his eyes glancing at you and Bucky in the rearview mirror before focusing on the road again.
"Sounds good to me," Bucky says, his voice low and his mischievous eyes focused on you as you nod your agreement.
You dig your head back into the headrest, toes curling in your shoes as his palm rubs against your clit with every thrust of his fingers inside of your wet heat.
He stretches your walls deliciously, enhanced senses picking up the tangy sweet smell of your cunt on every gust of wind that blows through the car.
He can't help but lick his lips, greatly looking forward to tasting you once he's finished enjoying fingering your tight snatch.
Eyes slowly opening, you let your head roll to the side eyes finding his as you breathe softly through your mouth.
He grins cheekily at you and stuffs his fingers inside of you a little harder, watching in smug satisfaction when your face screws up with a mixture of pleasure and pain.
The car slowly rolls to a stop and Steve lets out a groan.
"All right. I'm gonna stretch my legs and grab a snack. Are you guys coming in?" Steve's eyes find Bucky's as he opens the door.
Sam jolts upright with a groan, rubbing his face then yawning and pulling off his seatbelt.
"I'm gonna come inside," He says groggily, stumbling out of the car and stretching.
"I think we're good back here, she's falling asleep," Bucky whispers, giving your clit a particularly rough rub before pulling his fingers out of you.
Sam and Steve head into the gas station, and as soon as they are out of sight Bucky is tossing the jacket off of your lap and yanking your pants down your legs.
He licks his fingers clean while using his other hand to undo his belt and shuck his pants down his thighs, exposing his weeping hot cock.
"We don't have much time, sweetheart, better make it count. N'when we get to the cabin I'll fuck you nice and slow and proper," he promises quietly.
You straddle his waist once more, wet core dripping onto his lap and Bucky can't help but hiss when he slides his aching cock through your folds.
He rubs your clit a few times then slides inside in one quick thrust, pressing his mouth to yours to swallow the sound of your moan.
With the window open, you guys aren't exactly safe. Anyone could drive or walk by and Sam and Steve will likely only be gone for a few minutes.
"Fuck, you feel so good, baby... shit..."
His voice is strained as you begin rocking your hips in his lap, eyes squeezed shut as the tip of his cock drags across your g-spot.
Rather than let you have your fun, he flips you onto your back in the back seat of the car and hammers his hips down to meet yours, his lips trailing over your throat as you moan softly at the new angle.
He's hitting your g-spot with every thrust, and kissing your cervix with every other roll of his hips.
The pleasure and pain mix and make your head foggy, and it doesn't take long for your toes to curl around Bucky's hips and your climax to creep up on you.
Metal fingers toy with your clit with expert precision, and within only a few moments, your walls are clamping down around him and successfully milking him of his cum.
He lets out a few shuddering breaths as his own orgasm washes over him, balls tight as he pumps you full of ropes and ropes of thick white cum.
His head rests on your chest for a moment, breathing you in as he basks in his high, and then he's carefully pulling out of you and yanking his pants back on.
You, on the other hand, are stuck on your back as aftershocks wrack your frame.
Chuckling softly at his handy work, Bucky helps you back into your pants then pulls you up into his arms.
You collapse against his chest when he leans back against the door, cuddled in his arms as much as you can in the cramped backseat of the car.
He holds you gently, his own eyes closing as he relaxes into his post orgasmic bliss with you.
Your heart is racing even minutes later when Sam and Steve return to the car, each climbing in quietly when they see the two of you curled up together.
Steve sets a grocery bag full of snacks and drinks down on the floor in the backseat, then turns the music on quietly and starts driving, oblivious to what's just gone on.
As he drives you settle against Bucky, falling asleep gently while his load drips out of your swollen cunt. A mess he plans on thoroughly cleaning up as soon as you reach your destination.
