*crashes into your dashboards* Page #2 is done!!! o/ *collapses*

Here’s a little teaser of the finished art with the red and blue colour wash layers turned off.

Page #3 (the final page) is all planned out. Gonna get started on the actual drawing tonight. 😀 Send me your good vibes! I wanna finish this thing sometime before I die of old age.

For my new followers: the first 5 page mini-comic is HERE.

The cybernetic arm is heavy and gives Bucky a lot of muscle pain in his neck, shoulders, and upper back. Steve does what he can to help with that.

For once I’m actually happy with how Sebastian Stan’s face turned out in one of my drawings! Although my fav thing to draw in this pic was the metal arm…

I’m at least 50% reblogging this because that massage looks really nice.

@teslamaple

Just reread your blue-eyed boys, which has a bunch of Steve massaging knots out of Bucky that he gets from the weight of the arm, and this turned up on my dash like a perfect counterpart.

Someone else already talked about the iv drip in Bucky’s arm in this scene, but can we talk about the medical readouts? Sadly, I couldn’t find a single really clear screenshot – if anyone with the BluRay has better quality pics, I’d love to see them.

Overall, the displays are fairly cryptic, missing a bunch of what I’d consider important medical information, like clear displays for blood pressure and oxygen saturation. I think the big number in the lower left of the screen might be pulse rate – it ticks up fairly rapidly to 130 when the electrodes come down and Bucky panics. God knows why you’d want to display pulse rate to one decimal place, though, so it might be something else entirely. I don’t know what the other big number next to it is supposed to be, either – that one holds mostly steady somewhere around 60.

The screen to the right scrolls through a CAT scan of Bucky’s brain. Unfortunately I can’t get good enough resolution to tell you whether there’s visible brain damage there.

I’m most interested in the labeled markers on the diagram of Bucky’s body in the third pic, though, the ones I circled in red – because WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT, and what do you want to bet it’s implants? We see Bucky with his shirt off, so we already know there’s no injury there (well, there might be broken ribs, I suppose), and he doesn’t have visible electrodes attached, either. So. Implants. Trackers. Chemical reservoirs. Remotely triggered self-destruct mechanisms.

Because the goddamn metal arm just wasn’t enough of a violation of Bucky’s bodily integrity.

Holy fuck I’ve been waiting for someone to comment on this for an eternity

Hello. I also agree. I’ve never understood the fanfiction of Bucky being unable to take care of himself. Bucky has always been able to survive. He has the mental and physical wounds to prove it. What he does with this new information is the question. The Theme of The Winter Soldier playing in the background during the end of Captain America 2. This is A man who is going to want revenge for what was done to him.

Bucky doesn’t have a very long turn around time when it comes to adapting. It’s one of his talents. But he’s still Bucky and he’s going to want to dish it out to HYDRA.

The vault scene mashed a lot of hurt-comfort buttons. It was a pivotal moment in the Winter Soldier’s onscreen characterization, and that moment was one of confusion and disorientation, capped with screaming horror.

I’m fully convinced that Bucky was processing his flashbacks and coping (ish) with a PNES conversion disorder. For me, the seemingly childlike psychology was a transient state, not a useful representation of Bucky’s typical state of mind – or his ability to function. I’ve avoided the helpless-kitten fics and posts. I can understand where they come from, but they’re not my headcanon, not my kink, not my Bucky.

The Bucky I know would’ve stolen some nondescript clothing from a shop while everyone else was trying to figure out why the sky was falling into the Potomac. The Bucky I know had a new mission – information. The Bucky I know will have kicked so much ass before we get to Cap 3 that it makes me want to weep with joy.

I also prefer the capable post-WS Bucky. Even during his winter soldier time, I feel like – he commands a strike team, he plans the missions, he executes solo missions.  Pierce turns him loose after Natasha and Cap and says he has ten hours.  That’s a pretty big window for him to work in – he must have had a snack and a bottle of water. If they had him on such a tight leash that he could not feed himself, he would have had a much shorter window to execute that order, I would think.  

I think the @thedevilsbaklava has it right.  I think the bankvault scene is a huge anomaly for the character but it is so powerfully acted by Stan, Redford, Grillo, and others that it pushes a lot of buttons for us.  I don’t think that child-like desperation, that seeking of answers – is at all typical for the character.  But because it is all we the audience see, it colors our perspective a lot.  

Yes, they do a job on him, but his subjective time as Winter Soldier is what?  Maybe a couple of years.  Five years tops.  He was a highly capable, functional adult when they got their hands on him.  He’s not like comic!Natasha, whose brainwashing and training started when she was a child.  He’s not even like comic!Bucky who started black ops as a teen.  MCU!Bucky has a lot more to fall back on in terms of life experience outside the military.
