bucky who can’t quite seem to get over the fact he can pick up mjolnir even though it’s been a good three months since the first time he accidentally plucked it from the ground in avenger’s tower. the hammer itself always seems to be in the most random of places and bucky will walk over to it whenever the opportunity comes along and look around to make sure no one is watching before picking it up again as it expecting one day that he won’t be able to lift it again. except every time it comes off the ground without hesitation and he grins like an absolute idiot because it means more to him than it probably should just that mjolnir deems him worthy at all so that must mean there’s something good about him, right?
and of course tony eventually asks why thor leaves his hammer just sitting around the place and thor simply smiles and says, “because it helps where i cannot.”
and nobody knows exactly what he means by that
Tag: head canon
why did you deprive all of us of those delicious tags. PHIL HAS A TYPE. YOU ASPIRE TO BE CAPTAIN AMERICA BUT YOU DON’T REALLY WANT TO FUCK HIM. can’t be the first. THAT IS A LOT OF PRESSURE. you don’t want to despoil this paragon of virtue. BUT YOU TOTALLY WANT TO FUCK BUCKY BARNES. Cause it would be that easy. Fast and hard and fun as hell. you got some stuff you want to try? he’s down with it. “ain’t nothing i’m scared of, sweetheart” he’ll say once he’s got your back up the wall.
“YOU ASPIRE TO BE CAPTAIN AMERICA BUT YOU DON’T REALLY WANT TO FUCK HIM.” <=== precious bb queer Phil Coulson in a nutshell, basically.
Like, precious bb queer Phil Coulson’s code for living is What Would Steve Rogers Do?, but his spank-bank is wall-to-wall Bucky Barnes Being A Smirky, Cheeky Little Shit.
which is appropriate because for real the answer to ‘what would steve rogers do’ actually is ‘bucky barnes’.Like, maybe there was some awful cheesy promotional calendar of the Howling Commandos that some well-meaning grandma gave Phil when he’s like 12 years old, and he flipped through it, and February was just Bucky standing there in his dress uniform, with his khaki tie slightly undone and his hat at a rakish angle, giving the viewer the old glad-eye, and well basically that’s the year Phil started locking his door and it was February for months at the Coulson house, because 28 days was not nearly enough time for Phil to spend on that picture.
AND THEN, almost forty years later, ACTUAL BUCKY BARNES shows up on Phil’s doorstep and it’s like, wow, awkward. I mean you’re all messed up mentally and haven’t had a haircut or a hug in literal decades and I feel bad about that, but also I used to masturbate to the idea of you pinning me down and smirking into my neck, so…there is that.
But Phil Coulson is a nice guy who likes projects and hopeless causes, so he takes care of him and cuts his hair and idk, makes him soup and gives him a place to sleep and a couple of Steve-related books to read.
And I’m not saying Bucky, as he starts getting his feet back under him, tries to pay back Phil’s kindness with the sex, leaving Phil to go ‘no, no, we can’t’ to his literally FANTASY BOYFRIEND, because he’s still so messed up and Phil would never take advantage. But I’m not NOT saying that, if you know what I mean.
also like steve/bucky was precious bb queer phil coulson’s OTP, so…he’s not about to get in between them.No, no – but first Clint is all “he’ll never love me, he has a hard-on for Captain America” and then he talks to, like, Maria or Phil’s sister or somebody and they’re like “HaHaHaHA! Nope. Phil has a Type, he always has, and it’s not Steve Rogers, it’s Bucky Barnes.”
And then JUST when Clint thinks maybe he has a chance, THE REAL Bucky Barnes show up, and Clint’s like “JFC, this is just my luck.”
But then Clint walks in on Steve and Bucky and he’s like “oh my god, Phil, I’m so sorry”
And Phil is “*blink blink* What? No, Bucky and Steve belong together, I know that.”
And Clint is like “Oh, but I thought you had a crush on him. For ages.”
Phil: “(embarrassed) I did, but then I met another hot, smart, snarky marksman who captured my heart, so…”
Clint: “Oh. (Is sad). Is it someone I know?”
Phil: “… Well, it’s you.”
Clint: *blinks*. “What? Really?”
Phil: “I know, I shouldn’t have said anything. I’m sorry, I don’t know what I was -“
Clint: (interrupting) “Shit up. No. Answer the question – REALLY?”
Phil: (glaring) “Yes, really.”
Clint: “REALLY???”
Phil: “JFC, I’m leaving.”
Clint: (grabs him by his lapels and starts kissing him)
Phil: (totally into it. Then blinks and pulls away) “No, wait, but, you – ?”
Clint: “YES! JFC, get the fuck over here.”
Phil: (blinks) “Yes. Yes, of course”
(Back to snogging)
suddenly really want the opening to Cap 3 to be a replay of the train, re-shot from different angles to really mess with the perception of what happened and who’s POV this is supposed to be and the sound is harsh and abrasive and too loud and you can hear the bullets ricochet and the guns blast, the klnnng of the shield against metal and you can really hear how raspy Bucky’s breath is and how calm Steve sounds and then
“Bucky look out”
and the blast of the laser and the cacophony of the shield and the guns and the side of the train and metal on metal being torn apart and then just the wind the air howling and screeching and the metal groaning underneath Bucky’s hands and barely hearing Steve call out and the wind the wind the wind
and no music and no lead up just the wind and “take my hand” and the wind and then the drop-
and then he jerks awake and tries to catch his breath and all the audience sees is this figure in shadow in bed, trying to find his footing again, and you can’t really tell if it’s Steve or if it’s Bucky
because it doesn’t really matter, because they both dream about the damn train
why this
Hydra Steve!Clone and the Winter Soldier in the battle field.
Headofporridge suggested the clone cannot speak because Hydra surgically removed his vocal cords after the Winter Soldier “malfunctioned” and fatally wounded a lot of their staff due to the sound of the clone’s voice. Either way, he probably uses a combination of ASL and military signing on the field because it is imperative they both remain unseen and unheard.
I like the idea of Clone!Steve being the sniper and the Winter Soldier the brutal force, because eeee role reversals. Also, the Winter Soldier seems less built for stealth and more for absolute carnage, with the guns and machinery he’s packing. It stands to reason the weaker and smaller (for now) Clone!Steve would be his backup from afar, fatally silencing anyone who sees the Winter Soldier.
ALL THE SIGN LANGUAGE/ASL/NONVERBAL HEAD CANONS. ALL OF THEM.
what i want from cap 3 is sam and steve busting their asses going across the world looking for bucky and endangering their lives every 20 minutes and it cuts to bucky who is still safely in new york eating frozen yogurt
I’m imagining Bucky at every tourist trap in Manhattan and it’s g l o r i o u s.
Sam and Steve take out a HYDRA base. Cut to Bucky sitting at the Alice in Wonderland statue at Central Park with a picnic lunch.
Sam and Steve take out another HYDRA base. Cut to Bucky at FAO Schwarz, evaluating a Bucky Bear that’s almost as big as he is.
Sam and Steve have a heart-to-heart about the nature of goodness and what any of this even means, really. Cut to Bucky in the M&M store, thoughtfully selecting a mix of silver, black and red M&Ms.
Steve and Sam are holed up in a safe-house, not sure if their contact can be trusted. Cut to Bucky having his picture taken with the Naked Cowboy.
Natasha and Clint help Sam and Steve get out of Madripoor after it turns out their contact cannot, in fact, be trusted. Cut to Bucky riding a CitiBike through Central Park.
This is all I want.
ron, harry & hermione!
i like to imagine that after the war ends & everything gets cleaned up, the three of them get a flat together while they recuperate & try to figure out where to go from there. and they all have a tough time of it at first, but eventually they create someplace all of them can call home.
!
What it was going to be, we were trying to complicate the relationship between Cap and his S.H.I.E.L.D agent friends. If Hawkeye got a call from S.H.I.E.L.D saying Captain America is a fugitive, would he listen to that call or not listen to that call? That sequence actually was heartbreaking for us to cut it. I think it ultimately might have been a conflict with Renner’s schedule. But there was a great sequence where Hawkeye was chasing Cap through Washington D.C. there was an awesome sequence where they confronted each other in a ravine on the outskirts of D.C. and Hawkeye was shooting a series of arrows closing in on Cap, Cap closing in on him. And then Cap took him down and he realized for the first time that Hawkeye was trying to trick S.H.I.E.L.D, where he whispered something into Cap’s ear that Cap had a tracker on his suit and to punch Hawkeye to make it look real, because there was a Quinjet hovering above where they were watching the feedback back at S.H.I.E.L.D. So it was a cool sequence.
Details on the cut Hawkeye sequence from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. (via iputabirdonmyhead)
omg for real? whyyy? i wish that hadn’t been cut. :(((((
(via spiralstreesandcupsoftea)
I really wish it hadn’t been cut, too, but I don’t think that anything they did with the film makes this canon-incompatible, so I’m just adding it to the head canon I’ve already amassed.
Could you talk about autistic Clint Barton, please?? :D
- Autistic Clint building nests in high places so no one will mess with them and his carefully arranged textures will stay perfect and he’ll be farther from the noise.
- Autistic Clint fin ding the perfect texture for his bow’s grip and spending hours rubbing it over his skin.
- Autistic Clint’s special interest is archer and he knows everything about the different types of bows and arrows and it’s history.
- Autistic Clint stimming by moving his fingers in complex motions and telling people he doesn’t know well it’s and archer thing when asked about it.
- Autistic Clint holds back his infodumps to seem professional and not attract attention. At least once a week Coulson asks him if he learned anything new about archery so he can infodump freely.
- Autistic Clint making little noises to himself as he works without knowing Natasha can hear him. She doesn’t tell him partly to not embarrass him partly because she thinks it’s adorable.
- Autistic Clint hides in one of his nests when he has a meltdown because he feels safe there. Fury doesn’t know why Coulson is so adamant that he not have Clint’s nests removed or even touched, but complying.
- Autistic Clint getting really excited when Captain America does a press conference and, when asked about the anti-vaxxers, calls them out on their bullshit.
- Autistic Clint, man, autistic Clint.
okay, yeah
This makes me smile.
I want to ask Autistic Clint to explain some archery stuff to me. Maybe the history of the repeating crossbow?
Autistic Clint and the intersection between his autism and his Deafness
Autistic Clint stimming with his hands and it’s actually closer to verbal stimming than physical stimming because he’s riffing off sign words he really likes
Autistic Clint humming as a stim because he likes the vibration, not because he can really hear it
Autistic Deaf Clint!
ok but hear me out- what about a lightning bolt scar that looked like real lightning?
I always pictured Harry’s scar as something more like this, something organic, like a ragged scar or an electrical burn that just happens to remind people of lighting, rather than the symmetrical, angled zig-zag on the books or in the films.
the fact that i have seen steve and bucky living in clint’s brooklyn building exactly one time in a very small part of an alright at best fic is tragic
i mean just imagine it:
- bucky and steve over the moon to be living in a building that reminds them of where they lived before the war even though it’s kind of crappy it’s PERFECT for them
- clint and kate and bucky and steve teaming up to fight crime together like o m g
- cap getting rid of the bros in like 30 seconds every time they show up if clint needs to get this shit done quick so they can fight bigger and better crime clint what did you even do to start this
- BUCKY BABYSITTING
- EVERYONE BEING BFFS WITH GRILLS
- bucky and kate having sass fests and fistbumping when they say something hilarious about their respective bff
- madame masque kidnapping steve and bucky to get back at kate or something really dumb like that and steve and bucky being like are you even serious rn like OKAY THEN
- ‘hawkeye’ ‘hawkeye’ ‘captain america’ ‘captain america’ IF YOU WANTED TO GO THAT FAR JUST SAYING
- STEVE AND BUCKY FEEDING PIZZA TO PIZZA DOG
- clint secretly fanboying every single day about cap living like two floors down to kate and kate just rolling her eyes like CLINT I KNOW I SAW STEVE DOING HIS LAUNDRY IN THE BASEMENT THIS MORNING AND EVERYTHING and clint being like oh yeah right…so does he actually only wear red white and blue underwear i have a bet going and kate just puts her head on the table and thinks how did i even
WHY IS THIS NOT A COMMON THING???
- bucky and steve start saying ‘this looks bad’ before beating people up. the other avengers give them weird looks. clint smirks.
- bucky getting pissed when kate eventually kicks his ass at archery (but just archery. he’s still better at shooting a gun. goddammit.)
- literally kate bishop and mcu!bucky barnes please just think about it for a moment
- MOVIE NIGHTS
- LITERALLY THEM JUST HANGING OUT AND BECOMING BEST BROS AND SOMETIMES LETTING SAM AND NATASHA
- AND BEING 100% DOMESTIC
- IN BUT THEN TONY DROPS BY UNANNOUNCED ONE DAY AND SEES THE FOUR OF THEM SQUISHED TOGETHER ON THE COUCH PLAYING PORTAL OR WATCHING BLADE RUNNER (‘STEVE IT IS MY FAVORITE HOW HAVE YOU NOT SEEN IT YET IT IS PERFECT’) OR WHATEVER
- AND TONY IS JUST LIKE ‘WH. WHAT. NO. NO YOU CANNOT LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS. YOU ARE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THIS.’ SO HE PULLS OUT HIS PHONE TO GET EVIDENCE IF HE NEEDS TO BLACKMAIL ANY OF THEM MATER
- AND THEN HE JUST SORT OF LAYS ON TOP OF THEM WITHOUT ANOTHER WORD
- AND THE FOUR OF THEM JUST LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND SHRUG AND KEEP DOING WHATEVER IT IS THEY’RE DOING AND WAIT FOR PEPPER TO COME COLLECT HIM
HAWKEYE HAWKEYE CAPTAIN AMERICA CAPTAIN AMERICA!
– “crappy but perfect for them” YES EXACTLY. I mean I love “Everyone lives in Avengers Tower and it’s domestic and adorable” but Steve and Bucky need the correct mix of “kinda crappy, but good” and a neighborhood with an actual community.
– Bucky is not only *A* babysitter, he is SImone’s kids’ FAVORITE babysitter and actually volunteers to watch the kids so Simone can take some time for herself. (I mean MCU Bucky is just a natural caretaker type – look at pre-serum Steve. I think either Bucky would be really good with kids.)
– I think in a very real way – kids of the Depression and all that – Steve and Bucky would GET Clint in a lot of ways. Like the bit about “you have to take care of your stuff”. (Crap, where’s my copy. Christmas issue. You know the part I mean, right?) Which is why they watched Blade Runner on laser disc despite Kate’s protests that you know what are things now? DVD and Blu-Ray and just DOWNLOADING THE DAMNED THING. But it’s YOUR STUFF and you’ve gotta take care of your stuff. (Side note: I think this is also kind of why I really get Clint Barton in some ways. My city falls under … “kinda crappy but perfect for me”)
I need this like I’ve never needed anything in my life, including air.
