#can someone put this gif side by side with the gif of bucky post-‘let’s hear it for captain america’ #because it’s the same face #in two different instances #the same expression on two faces for the same reason #this is the face that says something irretrievable has been lost or taken #for steve it was bucky; plain and simple and easy as breathing #for bucky it was more than that; he’s realizing he’d lost the thing that had defined him #the thing that made him who he was #made him the kind of man he could stand #bucky looks at steve – six foot tall and goddamn close to bulletproof #and knows he doesn’t need bucky to protect him anymore #that’s what bucky loses #steve has a brand-new shield #so bucky has no choice but to become the sword instead #steve doesn’t need him to stand in front anymore; he needs bucky to stand at his side #it just takes bucky longer to sort that out #sighs (via weinersoldier)
