Chatter post

For all your discussion needs.

Ground rules:
- Try to keep it loosely trash party related, or at least Cap fandom related.
- Disagreement is fine, nastiness is not.
- Being offended is not carte blanche for nastiness.
- Trashmeme ground rules apply. Read at your own risk, no romanticizing your noncon garbage, no wank about the moral acceptability of noncon kink.
- Body shots, sniper shots, and tetanus shots are all available at the open bar. Party like it's 2014, kids.

Karpov. And how it was actually personal for him. Bucky wasn't a random person they took advantage of, he wanted to hurt Captain America by humiliating Bucky.

Comics Bucky constantly getting captured and tied up...

Yes, comics Bucky getting captured and tied up so often, and having to be rescued by Steve and/or Natasha is a big part of the appeal for me. I kink hard on endurance and resistance and the comics really deliver, with multiple characters.

Steve being the one to realize who the Winter Soldier is, and his determination to free Bucky and help him. And yes, things being personal for Karpov adds some depth to the situation. I love Steve's loyalty and Sam and Sharon's common sense.

I also really love the way both comics!Bucky and comics!Natasha refuse to define themselves solely as victims, or to allow others to define them that way. Yes, horrible things have happened to them both, but those things are not the sum total of their experience, nor are those horrible things the only things that are important. They both use what the Red Room gave them to protect the things they hold dear now. I really love the themes of resilience and figuring out what's most important to oneself and holding on to that that. The hard-won wisdom and optimism that feels earned precisely because awful things happen, but people can overcome them.
