I meant to say cat but people seem to agree with this too
ok hear me out: we give Bucky his car
We’ve gotten woman x male duck, women x machine who’s a man and man x female version of himself I am BEGGING for more gay couples bc at this point we’ve had way more absurd ships PLEASE OH MY GOD
sambucky isn’t happening but they still gave them more chemistry than any straight couple
if I got a girlfriend I’d also decorate my office with photos of them everywhere in my office, Sam is so real for that
remembering an interaction you had with The Character or their actor long before your obsession is really funny. like i remember years ago people were fan casting Sebastian Stan as young(er) Luke Skywalker in the shows after the deep fake in the mandalorian looked so bad. and all the way back then i was like "who is that? oh the winter soldier guy. yeah i can see it" cut to now where my pinterest and youtube notifications are 80% bucky content and im seeing thunderbolts again in a couple days and he's my gender envy/inspo like. damn. i had no idea.
Bucky lying to his therapist about his nightmares but being able to tell the truth to Sam really highlights the development of their relationship, aside from being yet another reason proving they’re the best duo in the MCU.
bald Sebastian??!???!?
Spoilers ahead obviously....
Sambucky is canon in the shippiest way. They're not officially a couple but they're also not "not a couple".
They're either already married or building the longest slow burn in MCU history. And this has been the case since Avengers: Endgame.
The only difference now is that everyone seems to acknowlegde it. The fandom (whether they're Sambucky shippers or not) , but also the writers.
At first I found it weird how Sam didn't have have any love interest in the MCU but now it seems deliberate. I also doubt Bucky will have a love interest in Thunderbolts.
It's heavily implied that they're eachother's love interest. Them staring at a sunset together, them doing a soul gazing during couples therapy, the pictures in Sam and Joaquin's HQ, them throwing the L word any chance they get , ... It's getting a little less subtle each time.
Bucky went to be with Sam because he knew he needed him, he comforted him, gave him a pep talk and then told him he loved him.
No Sambucky shipper would have ever imagined those words would ever be said to each other.
TL,DR: Sambucky isn't canon, but it's not "only a fanon ship" either. It has left the fandom sphere, I feel like Sambucky is an "official" ship. They know it exists and they care about it, they are nurturing it and hopefully they're planning to let it flourish.
if u got depression u know the amount of effort it took for him to do those dishes
