but how much do i love that in the closing scene of ca:tws, steve is looking at the winter soldier’s file and there’s a faded photograph of bucky barnes in his army uniform, bright and reckless, before his horrific transformation

how much do i love that it’s a direct mirror image of the shot of peggy carter at the end of ca:tfa, where she is looking at captain america’s file and there’s a photograph of steve rogers in fatigues, determined and skinny, before his miraculous transformation ladyspies

radishwine:

Do you ever try to draw Bucky normal and he’s like, “fuck you” 

I don’t know, maybe he’d look like this if he went to Berkeley and majored in art. He’d be classmates with Steve, but only have utter contempt for his adherence to the classical curriculum. Until he sees Steve’s art, that is. 

Somebody write this fic.  😀
