This Has Got To Be One Of The Funniest And Most Stupid Things I’ve Seen Two People Do 😂

IM DYING

I totally agree. Everybody going straight to sambucky right after honestly pissed me off. Like ship whatever you want and all, but don’t compare them.

ok so i'll just say it: i don't like that everyone just replaced stevebucky for sambucky after endgame and feel now entitled to judge the few remaining shippers. like i get it, the ending canon gave us was awful and i will never forget about it but those pairings don't have the same energy AT ALL. i am not saying you can't ship them, go ahead, but everyone just keeps going like "sambucky is superior!! stucky sucked anyways lol" and like.... mmmm... no. you were literally shipping them yesterday, karen, wtf.

i honestly like sam but what bucky had with steve will always be incomparable to anything else. they grew up together, know everything there's to know about each other and long to be together, even if it's only as friends. and they keep finding the other across space and time, first in a 70 years old gap, then in the run, then one of them needs to heal, then he dies. but they always come back. bucky always goes back to steve because he ultimately loves him and before engame, steve used to love him too. he would love him so much that it would influence him twice, once when he took down an entire criminal organization and then again when he opposed to 117 countries to do what he felt right. he didn't do it for bucky, but even implying that he didn't play a BIG role at the moment steve took those decisions is just unrealistic. their plots were driven by each other's, every little thing they did related to their brooklyn days when things were different. steve's whole Thing is based entirely on the life he experienced next to bucky. their bond is UNBREAKABLE, endgame can suck it. i can literally name like five straight couple with direct parallels to stevebucky key moments and that's why they, in the core, were written to be together. as buddies.

and i won't sit here and make a list of why you shouldn't ship sambucky or diss on them because that's not my point. y'all forgotten about stevebucky! what really drew everyone to them and how passionate we all felt towards them! im lowkey drifting away from the mcu too, which is cool you know, but i refuse to replace a ship that mattered so much to me just because half of the stucky fandom did and have also decided that now bucky and steve are problematic and sambucky is interracial!!!1!

TL;DR: sambucky is nice but if you gonna ship them don't do it in spite or resentment against stucky, that's just petty, and especially if you're only doing it to look fake woke and poke fun of the same fanbase you were in like ten days ago

It’s sad, but it’s true….

Sorry

For later, got about half way thru them, though I skipped a few. Come back for when you need Merlin Fics before you search thru the entire sight again.

I think it's the ALMOST canon ships that get the best, most intricately woven, beautifully told fanfiction.

those nearly-kind-of-almost-maybe-could-be canon couples

the ones that make it almost painful to live with the knowledge that if just one or two things had happened differently, just one or two things: if one of them had said something differently here, done something differently there, or if certain events had shifted a little, just a fraction, they'd have been together - undoubtedly.

you can see it. everyone can see it. but it's not enough - they're still an almost-but-not-quite, maybe-but-it-was-never-confirmed, kind-of-but-annoyingly-ambiguous

fanfiction writers take their potential and they hold it close and they lovingly craft something amazing and beautiful with it - finally giving them the chance to be together like everyone knows they would be in-canon if the story wasn't against them

they spring out entire novels from canon-divergence in the places where just a little step in another direction could have led to them being together

they build whole intricate Alternate Universes where the characters are able to meet in an entirely different way and still fall for each other

what I'm saying is that the insanity of a ship where it was almost-canon drives writers to a specific kind of creative madness that produces the best fanfiction....

so if you check out my graph here you can see the line for the more almost it gets vs the more unhinged and motivated it makes the writers both rising in a wonderfully clear diagonal line and today I will be discussing the
