post credit scenes aren’t TECHNICALLY canon right???
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.
Not into men but I tweak out every time I see Bucky Barnes the way straight men do when they see their favorite sports player
if I got a girlfriend I’d also decorate my office with photos of them everywhere in my office, Sam is so real for that
Greasy era Bucky you are so loved
I meant to say cat but people seem to agree with this too
ok hear me out: we give Bucky his car
he’s so cute
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.
still can't get over the first time bucky is introduced into sam's personal life, he flirts with his SISTER WITHOUT EVEN THINKING ABOUT IT?? y'all saw that look in his face ik he was a PROBLEM in the 40's!!!
