TFATWS 1x05

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 1x05

Bucky: "Don't go down that road, believe me it doesn't end well." Walker: "I'm not like you." what does this even mean, when did Bucky go on a revenge rage o_O He wasn't even doing that in his 'amends' taking down people he helped as the WS. I really don't get that dig

Sam: "You gotta give me the shield." YOU GOTTA GIVE HIM THE SHIELD

"You made a mistake" Sam still being empathetic BB YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD STOP IT (except don't bc you're a good person but Walker does not deserve your good nature here)

Walker: "You don't want to do this." Bucky: "Yeah, we do." Yes we know you definitely do, Buck lol

I can't with this fight, Bucky as WS had Steve on the ropes for the majority of the street fight in CATWS before Steve knew it was him (when he had no reason to only fight defensively), so you can't tell me this dude who got the serum like 45 mins ago is taking on both him AND Sam in a fight for this long 🙄

IT'S ON SIGHT FOR WALKER NOW THAT HE TORE OFF MY MAN'S WINGS AND NEARLY DECAPITATED HIM. ON. SIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THE SAVE BUCK (AND THEN THE MF ALMOST DID IT TO HIM TOO!!!!!!) OH MY SWEET JESUS

Bucky picking up Walker by the legs and slamming him into Sam's oncoming shield like a baseball bat is a chef's kiss move, 10/10 would watch them use it again

Bucky dropped the shield by Sam and just glared and didn't help him up, wtf bruv

Sam trying to wipe the blood off the shield 😔

"Hey you got your sleeve back!" Joaquin Torres my bundle of sunshine 😍😍😍

Sam: "That's bizarrely wise." Torres: "I'm a bizarrely wise man." ❤️

Torres: "You forgot the wings" Sam: "Keep 'em." 😱 but also 😍

I can't believe Walker actually faced a consequence, I'm really stunned lol

"They just don't know what it takes to be Captain America, they just don't." NEITHER DO YOU BITCH

Okay I had to look up Val because my Marvel knowledge is but a moderate level, and I was very confused and intrigued about her being a famous SHIELD agent until I got to MADAME HYDRA on the Wiki page. 👀 Now idk what to do with my theories. During her SHIELD time she ran a femme task force that Sharon was a part of so maybe they might connect? More thoughts on Sharon later

Man, Desmond Chiam is beautiful. It always needs to be said.

That stuffed toy bunny face down on the ground at the GRC: same

Zemo: "He (Sam)'s as stubborn as Steve Rogers before him" (my heart) "but you--" STFU Zemo

Bucky siking out Zemo for the drama of it all. chef's kiss

THE DORA YES, I'm so glad Bucky fixed this mess

Bucky: "I have another favour to ask of you" my boyfriend needs a new suit

Isaiah: "You understand. Every Black man does." Sam: "Don't do that bitter old man thing with me." Isaiah: "If you're not bitter, you're blind."
Now see, I didn't get that Sam was being idealistic this whole time until this episode. He really did give up the shield to honour Steve and all the complicated shit that comes with being Black wasn't his most pressing issue with it like I believed it to be. I'm a bit shook but glad to be wrong about this if it means getting these two entirely different perspectives from two different Black men on the concept of a Black Captain America. I kind of had blinders on that there could be only one reason (and clearly my perspective aligns with Isaiah), but obviously no community is a monolith and I'm glad this show reminded me. The fact that Sam is not oblivious but still so damn optimistic... that's inspiring. It melts my cynical heart and that's the very quality I have always loved about Captain America. I'm so, so glad we have Sam as our new Cap. ♥

Steve, come back and use your time travel shit right now and bring Isaiah's girl to modern day or something!!! He didn't tell us anything about her but the way that man said "Sam, I loved her so much" broke me

"You wanna believe jail is my fault because you've got that white man's shield." oof.

Loved that they named this episode Truth.

Uncle Sam is everything to me. Him and the boys fixing the fishing net...

(Actually I think every bit of fishing culture in this gets to me extra because my home province is a huge fishing culture too ♥)

"I didn't want to tell you last night when you were all sad puppy dog in the rain." Sarah ily

Sam calling in the Wilson family favours!! The community showing up!! I love it. "Hey Mr. Falcon. What's happening with you, boy?" ☺

Bucky's big flexing moving that engine. I see you, Barnes. 😏 "Sign for it and I'll go." asdkaslda. Thank god for this show letting us actually get to know these characters. Bucky's snark is a new discovery I treasure.

Bucky saying hi to Sarah is so cute, his tone of voice?? So light and airy and cheerful?? 🥰

Boat fixing montage, so domestic, so pure, so husbands, so beautiful

Bucky not being subtle about wanting to crash with the Wilsons, what a dumb ♥

Sam: "Don't flirt with my sister." I'm LIVING for this, truly. Whatever way you look at it, either Bucky is into yet another WOC (ayyyyy 🎉) or he's doing it to make Sam mad/jealous, it's a no-lose situation 😍

I like that shot of Lemar's sister looking at Walker all skeptical. She knows what we know.

Okay this shit with Sharon......... "I can give you double this time" okay I CANNOT believe Sharon's gone bad, the Carter stan in me will not have it, and she has no motivations to be the Power Broker, so she must either be double agenting (for who though? SWORD? Restarted SHIELD? (I won't let that go.)) or she is under a post-(comics)Civil War Dr. Faustus-esque mind control. The whole thing is very hard to get a gauge on but Sharon-gone-evil of her own accord I am adamant against, and I also hate the idea of her being mind-controlled for so many reasons but especially since Sharon's character has already gotten screwed over enough in the MCU, I think her fans might have an aneurysm if they do any more injustice to her. I went back to the first Batroc scene and they really don't tell us what his group were after, just that they had kidnapped the US's liason guy, so I don't think the intent was to trap Sam and kill him from the beginning, seems like Batroc only wants to do that now since that incident. So then yeah... why Sharon would have possibly comissioned Batroc and co to kidnap a US military liason? I got nothing. But my last ditch attempt at a cool twist for Sharon would be that she is trying to pull a Hydra on Hydra and infiltrate them from the inside. I would be so proud of that!

Bucky waking up and being charmed by the kids is something that can be so personal 🥺 Pretty much the only times in my life I haven't woken up a complete grumpus is when I've babysat my little cousins overnight and being greeted by cuteness first thing is grumpy/sadness kryptonite. ♥ I feel you, Buck.

"Yep, Samuel." My life stats improved 80% at this. Related: I saw someone's headcanon that when Sam is cross with Bucky he calls him Buchanan which I die for and if he ever says this I will implode

"I don't come up to the sky and tell you how to barrel roll or whatever so don't go coming down here and start messing with things you clearly don't understand. Thank you, gentlemen." TOTAL BOSS SARAH WILSON, WILL YOU MARRY ME 💍💍💍💍💍💍

And then Bucky patting Sam on the back while saying "it's tough love," the way I died

Bucky: "I owe you an apology. I'm sorry."

I WAITED FOUR INCREASINGLY AGONIZING HOURS FOR HIM TO SAY THIS 😭😭😭 And he actually said the words "I'm sorry," half the time when they do the "I owe you an apology" part they don't actually follow up with the sorry and that drives me. THANK YOU BUCHANAN I'M SO RELIEVED I WAS RIGHT TO HAVE FAITH IN YOU MY BOY. This meant so much. ♥ (Okay my one minor complaint is that we didn't actually get to see where the hell he had this epiphany outta nowhere, but the end result is what's most important to me, so I'm letting it slide.)

The rest of that scene was also SO MUCH:

→ "Steve is gone, and this might be a surprise but it doesn't matter what Steve thought. You gotta stop looking to other people to tell you who you are." SAY IT SAM
→ Sam: "You still having those nightmares?" Bucky: "All the time." WITHOUT HESITATION. 😭💗
→ "be of service"
→ "good talk"
→ "call me when you have a lead and I'll be there"

THE TRUTH. THE TRUST. Fuck, I love them.

Omg there's a kid photo of Sam and Sarah on the boat here that they must have shown before bc this fanart for Sam's birthday was a reference and I didn't even realize! ☺

Sarah: "Who knew you were so sensitive!" Wilson siblings make me weak 🥰

Sam: "But what would be the point of all the pain and sacrifice if I wasn't willing to stand up and keep fighting?" I love this man so much

The training montage, biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch. Personal highlights include Sam doing shirtless pushups 🥵🥵🥵, and on the complete other end of the wholesome spectrum his nephews running after him ("Get 'im, AJ!" 🥰) and AJ tracing the star of the shield I cryyyyy

Can't believe I called Batroc based on my selective observation skills. XD Here I thought I was so clever last week figuring out the gaps in the credits but I wasn't clever enough to actually go look at past credits to see if those people had already been in it. XD And then all this week I was meaning to and still never did get around to it until just now, and my findings are: 1) couldn't have called the Blip one, that ended up being Julia Louis Dreyfus, so, one win at least? 2) The Cap dog tags were Danny Ramirez (🤡 @ having a mini Meatball freakout), 3) Batroc was right but again, I should've known, 4) Don Cheadle! So Rhodey might be back for the finale since they've still kept his credit space blank. (Would he be Power Broker somehow o_O??? Nah..... but could he?)

Sam in that maroon/grey baseball tee, fuck me

SAMMY AND DA SUUUUUIT, EEEEEEEE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM THE WAKANDANS MADE IT FOR HIM 😍😍😍😍😍 Before this show started Sar(/tinklefish/my Cap and BP partner in crime) and I were talking about how much we need Sam as Cap right now, especially in light of Chadwick's passing. Having the Wakandans make Sam's suit feels on some level like an acknowledgement of that, and whether it was intentional or not, it means a lot to me (to us). ♥
