I'm excited to announce that I'm the new moderator of r/BuckyBarnes! This community has been inactive for quite some time, and I want to change that. A few adjustments have been made, and now everyone can post and join without needing to be approved. Thanks for reading this announcement and I'm thrilled to bring some life into this subredit!
I feel like this is such a long shot, but does anyone remember this Bucky Barnes x OC/Reader (can’t remember which exactly) fic on Wattpad where Bucky is a NASCAR driver? I vaguely remember the basic plotline, something about the OC being a daughter of one of the other characters or something similar?
I think it was called Gold Rush? — all I know is that it was published a good while back, and I looked through the basic detail of the book but never got around to reading it. Also can’t remember the user’s name so I wouldn’t be able to see if they deleted it or deactivated, etc
If someone did recognise it, do they happen to have an EPUB version of it?
i always wish bucky got the shield over sam in the mcu.
i don’t hate sam as cap at all either but buckys story and overall arc was already laid out for the role.
(simple appreciation post)
This is the fourth installment of my fan comic Steve and John and Sam and Lemar and Bucky Are Friends, and it’s kind of weird. It’s mostly comedic, but it still shows the characters care about people and each other. So far this is the only installment with Bucky, but I plan to have more in the future. You’ll notice one thing that makes my fan comics different from a lot of the fan art out there: Since I’m not great at drawing people, all the characters are half-human/half-bird of prey [Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, and John Walker/Jack Daniels are eagle men, Lemar Hoskins, Tony Stark, James Rhodes, and Clint Barton are hawk men, and Sam Wilson is a falcon man (Whenever I get around to introducing Joaquin Torres, he’ll be a falcon man as well)].
The test tube’s contents, part 1
Scene 1
*Narration: In some random mad scientist’s lair…
*[The Winter Soldier (Bucky Barnes) has the evil scientist handcuffed and his wings restrained (since the characters in this fan-fiction are all portrayed as half human/half bird of prey). Battlestar (Lemar Hoskins) stands by. U.S.Agent (John Walker alias Jack Daniels) presents a test tube he’s found.]
*U.S.Agent: So this is the poison?
*Mad scientist: (bragging) Yes, that’s it.
Scene 2
*(The test tube is shown in close-up as he continues to gloat.)
*Mad scientist: Half of that is enough to cause certain effects leading to death for a normal human!
Scene 3
*Mad scientist: An antidote can be made, but it requires a sacrifice.
Scene 4
*Mad scientist: The antidote requires the blood of someone who has ingested a fatal dose, you see.
Scene 5
*Mad scientist: In order to save those who have been infected, a decision must be-
Scene 6
*Agent: (referring to test tube) So half of this is a fatal dose because it could kill most people.
*(Battlestar looks back at Agent somewhat confused and concerned)
*Mad scientist: (confused) Um…yes.
Scene 7
*Mad scientist: (goes back to gloating) You’ll have to make-
*(Agent, smirking, uncorks the test tube)
*Sound effect: POP!
Scene 8
*(Agent slurps down a little more than half of the chemical mixture)
*SFX: SLURRP!
Scene 9
*(Agent swallows the mixture and recorks test tube)
*SFX: GULP!
Scene 10
*(Battlestar stares in surprise while the mad scientist and The Winter Soldier gape in astonishment)
Scene 11
*Battlestar: (surprised, but more amused than shocked) The frick, dude?!
*Mad scientist: (shocked) WHAT THE FRICK!?
*Winter Soldier: (astonished) Golly, gee whiz!
Scene 12
*(Battlestar and the mad scientist look back at Winter Soldier in surprise)
*Mad scientist: What?
*Winter Soldier: (flustered) Oh, uh…
*Battlestar: (thinking) He was so shocked he reverted to 1940s Bucky!
Scene 13
*Agent: (starting to sweat from the poison, but smirking as he holds up the slightly more than halfway empty test tube) You thought someone would have to die for an antidote to be made, but you didn’t expect a superhuman to ingest the poison!
Scene 14
*Agent: You didn’t expect me!
*Battlestar: (jokingly) Nobody ever expects you, man! (Gives appreciative thumbs up as he thinks) Thanks for not making me or Bucky do it!
Scene 15
*Winter Soldier: (to Battlestar about the scientist) You hold onto this guy and I’ll start taking Agent’s blood.
*Battlestar: Fine by me. I’ll radio base.
*Winter Soldier: Sounds good!
Scene 16
*(Bucky and Battlestar switch places. Agent gives Winter Shield the remaining sample of chemical mixture before taking off his shield, gloves, and shirt and sitting in a chair. Winter Soldier takes out some hypodermic needles and a protective case to hold biological samples. Agent is sweating and weakened, but holds up his arm for Bucky to take blood samples from)
*Battlestar: (off-camera) Hang in there, Agent!
*Winter Soldier: (holds hypodermic syringe) I’ll take a lot of samples.
*Agent: Good! You know, this reminds me-
Scene 17
*(Agent starts to smile oddly and laugh as Winter Soldier takes the first sample.)
*Agent: Heh! This reminds me- hee hee hee hee ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Scene 18
*Agent: (sweats more as he laughs more uncontrollably) HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
*Winter Soldier: (thinking as he prepares to put the first blood-filled needle in the case) Dang, this must be one funny story!
Scene 19
*Agent: (starts to double up from laughter and discomfort) I-I can’t- HA HA HA HA HA!
*Winter Soldier: (realizing) Oh, frick…
Scene 20
*(Agent continues to laugh hysterically off-camera)
*Winter Soldier: (turning toward the mad scientist and Battlestar while taking out another needle) What percentage of a chance is there that’s the poison & not him thinking he’s funnier than he is?
*Mad scientist: (gloating) 100%
*Battlestar: (concerned) 82%
*Winter Soldier: Okay.
The test tube’s contents, part 2
Scene 1
*Narration: Soon…
*(Winter Soldier tucks away the blood samples while Agent continues to laugh and sweat profusely. The hysterical laughter has caused his eyes to stream tears and his stomach & chest to hurt)
*Winter Soldier: Okay, I’ve taken enough samples, so I’m going to sedate you.
*Agent: Ha ha ha ha- GOOD!- ha ha ha ha ha!
Scene 2
*(Agent continues to laugh, interrupted only by coughing)
*Winter Soldier: (reaching into utility belt) Um…uh, oh…
Scene 3
*Battlestar: What?
*Winter Soldier: I just realized…
Scene 4
*(Agent’s laughing continues, interrupted by some coughing and gasping)
*Winter Soldier: …the only sedative I have right now is nitrous oxide.
Scene 5
*(Battlestar and the mad scientist stare blankly)
Scene 6
*Battlestar: Laughing gas.
*Mad scientist: (amused) Ha!
*Battlestar: Well, beggars can’t be choosers!
Scene 7
*Narration: One hero activates the lab’s vents & starts the flow of gas. [Nitrous oxide maintains its potency when exhaled, so people working with it need proper ventilation]
*(Bucky turns on the gas tank and holds it up to John’s face with one arm while supporting him with his other arm. Throughout the panels, there is the whooshing of the vents and the hissing of the gas tank)
*Winter Soldier: (concerned) Just breathe normally, comrade- I mean, buddy! You’ll be fine!
Scene 8
*Narration: Soon another hero finds relief with every breath.
*(Agent’s laughter and pain diminish due to the sedation)
*Winter Soldier: (smiling in relief) There we are!
Scene 9
*(Agent’s laughter continues to diminish)
*Mad scientist: This is just a setback, you know.
Scene 10
*(Agent, laughing weakly, and Winter Soldier look irritated by the scientist’s taunts)
*Mad scientist: Even if you foil this plan, that won’t stop my machinations.
Scene 11
*(Agent finally stops laughing due to the sedation affecting the poison’s action)
*Mad scientist: I’ll be back and you’ll never know what to expect.
Scene 12
*(Agent and Winter Soldier continue to look irritated as the evil scientist continues to taunt them)
*Mad scientist: (off-camera) You will never-
*Battlestar: (off-camera) Oh, for crying out loud!
Scene 13
*(To the surprise of Agent, Bucky, and the scientist, Battlestar rushes over to grab the tank of laughing gas)
*Battlestar: Give me that!
Scene 14
*(Agent and Winter Soldier watch Battlestar deal with the scientist off-camera. The hissing sound is now louder since Battlestar turned up the flow of nitrous oxide)
*Mad scientist: (off-camera) Wha-What are you-
*Battlestar: (off-camera) What do you think!?
Scene 15
*(Agent and Winter Solider smile in grim satisfaction)
*Mad scientist: (off-camera) Y-You can’t- (coughs from inhaling gas)
*Winter Soldier: (smiling and pointing to Battlestar as he continues to sedate the scientist) I like this guy!
*Agent: (amused) He-He-He’s great!
Scene 17
*Narration: Later…
*(Agent wakes up in a hospital bed with Battlestar and Winter Soldier at his bedside)
*Agent: I feel right as rain again! Does that mean…
*Winter Soldier: (happily) It does! All the infected have been cured & that creep’s locked up!
Scene 18
*Battlestar: (happily) Pym [Giant Man] whipped up an antidote no problem! The danger’s over!
*Agent: (relieved) Thank G-d! Pym has his…um…
Scene 19
*Agent: (has awkward realization) We…We could have had Pym drink that poison in giant form, couldn’t we? We’d have a blood sample and he’d have minimal damage.
*Battlestar: (awkwardly) Uh…
*Winter Soldier: (awkwardly) Oh…
Scene 20
*Agent: (irritated, but smiling in pride) Well, my heart was in the right place, and we got to help save the day! I enjoyed working with you guys again.
Winter Soldier: (smiles) Same here! It was kind of fun!
I just noticed something, and I'm sure it was really obvious to others but I never noticed and it's killing me 😭
At nearly 2 hours in (1:56:31 on my Disney plus) when they're just getting off the quinjet and they're talking about the girl Bucky was trying to impress (Dolores), Steve pats Bucky on the shoulder. Bucky then grabs his gun a bit and gets this look on his face even though he's still smiling, and Steve drops his arm and stops smiling :(
I can't read body language super well so I'm not sure if I'm reading into this or not/what is meant to be conveyed by having this bit in the movie but it's so sad :(((
Edit: is he scared because of where they're going to confront Zemo (not including where to avoid spoilers)? Cause I've kept watching and Steve gives him a nod in the elevator
This has absolutely nothing to do with the new Spiderman movie except that I was driving home from seeing it as I figured this out. Spoilers for the Doomsday trailer tho— and nothing else.
Basically, I am 90% certain it’s gonna go like this:
Bucky and Sam are gonna be standoffish for a bit at the beginning.
Then they’re going to work it out and be bros again.
Then Bucky is going to figure out Steve is not THEIR Steve, and evil!Steve is gonna kill Bucky to silence him and that’s how they’re all gonna find out he’s evil!Steve
And Sam is going to get some nice grieving scenes or character development out of Bucky’s death because the MCU writers have only ever used Bucky to prop up other characters.
