Do yall think Bucky was mad as hell that the twink he left safely at home magically appeared on the eastern front not a twink anymore
Spoilers ahead obviously....
Sambucky is canon in the shippiest way. They're not officially a couple but they're also not "not a couple".
They're either already married or building the longest slow burn in MCU history. And this has been the case since Avengers: Endgame.
The only difference now is that everyone seems to acknowlegde it. The fandom (whether they're Sambucky shippers or not) , but also the writers.
At first I found it weird how Sam didn't have have any love interest in the MCU but now it seems deliberate. I also doubt Bucky will have a love interest in Thunderbolts.
It's heavily implied that they're eachother's love interest. Them staring at a sunset together, them doing a soul gazing during couples therapy, the pictures in Sam and Joaquin's HQ, them throwing the L word any chance they get , ... It's getting a little less subtle each time.
Bucky went to be with Sam because he knew he needed him, he comforted him, gave him a pep talk and then told him he loved him.
No Sambucky shipper would have ever imagined those words would ever be said to each other.
TL,DR: Sambucky isn't canon, but it's not "only a fanon ship" either. It has left the fandom sphere, I feel like Sambucky is an "official" ship. They know it exists and they care about it, they are nurturing it and hopefully they're planning to let it flourish.
love that there was no scene in Thunderbolts where everyone debates saving Bob. there is no question that that man is out of his depth despite creating a crater in a mountain and surviving a hail of bullets. the wettest of wet cat men
do you ever think about how bucky flew across the country because sam was sad? isn’t that crazy? isn’t that nuts?
mutuals can always dm me but be warned i talk like your coworker who is trying too hard to get to know you and my response times are akin to the response times you might get if we were communicating by letter
Bucky lying to his therapist about his nightmares but being able to tell the truth to Sam really highlights the development of their relationship, aside from being yet another reason proving they’re the best duo in the MCU.
You know what rocks about Sam and what they’ve kept consistent for years?
Everyone around him has his back 100%. And his confidence in that doesn’t shake. He relies on people, listens to them and talks to them like they’re family, and as a result everyone is ready to back him no matter what.
Layla being his inside woman because he doesn’t fully trust Ross (and he shouldn’t) and Sam not once questioning her loyalty. Also showcasing that Sam will always try to be 2 steps ahead of people cause he doesn’t fucking play!!!
The special forces having Sam’s back and following his orders without even blinking if he needs help or to get shit done.
Even in the mundane moments, the people in the bar and the bar tender just acknowledging him and throwing up their bottles in salute. Or when we first meet him at the VA. This man has been a leader for years and a man of the people long before the shield was even in his possession.
Natasha being impressed by his prior work in the falcon program, fury immediately wanting to recruit him, he’ll even Tony fucking stark having to go to him for help in civil war, and Steve agreeing to Sam’s plan of leaving the rest of them behind while he and Bucky go to Siberia. No one else could have convinced Steve to leave the rest of them behind to be arrested, but Sam did.
Scott’s devotion to him too, Sam asked him for help and Scott didn’t even blink when he was called. He just got his ass up and flew to Germany.
It’s no wonder why Joaquin looked at him like a deity, Joaquin knew what he was looking for in a captain and never left Sam’s side.
Don’t even get me started on Bucky, we already know he puts Sam on a pedestal that no one else can even dream of reaching.
Happy 11 years of Sam Wilson day.
I hope the person who edited this one Seb's photo from tfatws with long hair can finally experience fully earned life fulfillment
I’m slowly letting sambucky devour my soul and it’s gotten to the point that I’m convinced there’s going to be hints dropped In thunderbolts
