#ugly sobbing #why #who gave you the right to make me remember this 

#please take a moment to realize what this means#bucky was already ‘dead’ when shield was founded by peggy and howard#but they included him anyway#they decided to call him a shield agent#and to put his name on a memorial#he was probably the first name up there since he was dead before shield existed#shield was founded after steve took out hydra#he started that with bucky#he finished it for him#so to peggy and howard bucky was a shield agent#in every way that mattered (via thewinterwizard)

actually, i’m pretty sure his name was listed as one of the SSR agents who were memorialized — they had a different insignia, followed by a few variations of shield’s insignia, probably because of different eras or possibly subsections of shield.

(and this either means that they either put bucky’s NICKNAME (not “james buchanan barnes”) up there, or that skye is a huge bucky fangirl and knows a ton about him and looked for his name.

i’m going for both.)

Yeah, that wall lists both SSR-era agents, as well as SHIELD-era agents.

This screenshot I took below is kinda crappy – there’s a much better version here – but you can see the SSR logo to the left, in the 1941-1965 section.

Also, I think Bucky’s nickname was pretty well known.

The Smithsonian memorial lists his full name, including the “Bucky” nickname, and at the very bottom he’s referred to as just Bucky Barnes. The narrator also calls him “Bucky Barnes.”

But, you know. Her mentor is Phil Coulson. He might have tried to downplay the obsession some, but you know she got some Howling Commandos history lessons at some point, even if she’d never heard the name before in her life. (Which she had, obviously. Not only is it American history, she is an Avengers fan.)

Which just makes me think that at some point Coulson started giving some lecture about Cap history and relating it to something current, and Skye was just all, “We know, Coulson, jeez. The raid took place without official sanction and saved the lives of over a hundred men. Got it. In history class. And at the Smithsonian. And, you know, the last two times you’ve talked about it.”
