why is it that in all pre-serum steve/bucky fics, they’re terrified of being associated with the “sissies,” and the “fairies.” i have read the sentence “i ain’t no fairy” in like four fics minimum.
u know what would be cuter? bucky and steve being connected to the community. going to gay bathhouses and bars. i want them to be friends with lesbians like sandy kern. i want them going to drag balls in greenwich village and harlem. i want them running from police raids. bucky tearing steve away from a fight because the last thing he needs is for his boyfriend to get arrested for sodomy.
when they’re overseas i want the howling commandos to know and not give a fuck. i want peggy to know. i want steve contemplating the idea of bisexuality before he even knows the word. i want him to rub shoulders with queer heroes like helen harder.
why is it that in every fic ever steve wakes up in 2012 and he’s like “whoa look at these lgbt communities i’ve never heard of such a thing” when he could be like “hell yeaH hell fucking YEAH let me tell you a story of this one time a cop tried to beat the shit out of me in 1939 and a drag queen saved my ass before bucky even could”
doesn’t he move right from a historically gay neighborhood in NY to a historically gay neighborhood in DC
“I’m sorry I can’t make it all better, Bucky. But I’m here now. I’ve got you,” Steve whispered.
I’m actually really happy with how the colours turned out! While I was painting this I kept worrying that the colours were off and that this piece just wouldn’t work in colour, but luckily the “colour balance” adjustment layers in PSP fix everything. 😉
In my first sketch for this they were both happy and content, but well, it’s Steve and Bucky… so yeah… in the next sketch they were both sobbing into each others shoulders. But that was too much, I decided, so now we have Bucky doing that “crying while scowling and looking angry” thing that Seb’s characters often do, and Steve just being there for Bucky, like a cuddly rock.
