Stealing This Idea From The Last Post I Reblogged Since It Was From The Pre-poll Days

They still have a ways to go.

Touch? In MY Stanley Parable?? That’s not supposed to happen. I do believe an out-of-map crisis is in order

Uh oh. Looks like someone might have a virus…

"Stanley?"

Tik tok edits drove me insane enough to do this.

Inspired by SAD-ist YouTube series, "Clock Out."

Ok. So. We all know this iconic scene right? Cool, I really wanna unpack it a bit tho.

Let start with the way Sam positions himself:

Sam moves himself so that when he catches Bucky he's the one who will likely hit the ground first and take the brunt of the damage/impact. Sam goes out of his way to save the supersoldier with a metal arm and around a century of combat experience. And you can tell that the supersoldier in question didn't fucking expect it.

Bucky looks really fucking confused and slightly on edge when the camera flips to him while Sam's diving at him. I don't want to say that Bucky isn't used to being saved (Im hoping this expression doesn't mean he was expecting to get attacked) but I don't think that Bucky is used to being saved. Not only is he getting rescued, he's being treated as carefully/gently as possible considering the situation. For example, the way Sam grabs him:

HE SUPPORTS HIS HEAD!!!!!! HE FUCKING SUPPORTED HIS HEAD AND NECK!!! HEAT OF THE GODAMN MOMENT AND SAM'S IMMEDIATE INSTINCT IS TO PREVENT AS MANY INJURIES AS POSSIBLE!!! AND NOT EVEN ON HIMSELF HE IS LITTERALY ONLY SUPPORTING BUCKY IN THIS MOMENT BCS HIS WINGS ARE FOLDED IN AS HE FUCKING GRABS HIM!!!! AND THEN THIS:

Sam tucks Bucky's head into his shoulder as they are sliding across the gound infront of a tire the size of a small child that could easily crush them both (also this screenshot was really hard to fucking get cause this shit all happened within the span of a second). Sam keeps Bucky's head tucked through the rest of the time that they're under the truck before they both get catapulted across a field of flowers (top comedy because Im a slut for irony). And in the shot that they come out from under the truck you can see that Sam is still holding Bucky above him and off the ground, still taking the full force of the impact. He even has his fucking legs off the ground:

(It's a fucking hilarious screenshot without context). This is really great cause Bucky is usually used as something of a battering ram or a tool bcs of his inhuman strength and the metal arm, but right now he's the one being protected while Sam uses himself as a shield. This is repayed in the next few shots that show them skidding/rolling (I would say tumbling but it's more violent then that) across the field:

Fellas is it gay to hold you partner/coworker close to your chest as you roll down a hill to evenly distribute the force of the fall? Aside from how not-hetero this one shot is, Sam is now the one with his head tucked in but he still has his arms wrapped tightly around Bucky's torso whereas Bucky has his grip around Sam's shoulders. (idk if yall have ever been put in a situation similar to this but i have, obviously not to this fucking extent, but the person whose arms are around the other's shoulders usually takes more damage as they're shielding the other). Anyways, we all know how they end up:

Sam, now holding onto the straps of Bucky's vest thing, is on the bottom (sexualize that and i'll block you 😘) and still holding him off the ground. I think it's safe to say that Bucky is heavier then Sam but was still man handled into that position for his own good. I wanna revisit my claim of Bucky not being used to getting saved when we look at his expression when he rolls off of Sam:

He looks... idek ig this is what people mean when they say "unreadable expression" because his face is kinda blank but you can also tell he's thinking about something. Im gonna go ahead and assume he's confused because, again, why??? was he treated??? so gently??? (up until he was a smart ass about the shield ofc). Anyways, that's basically it for this post I just wanted to point out some details that were sticking out to me.
