hydratrashmeme | Dumpster #4: I Don't See How That's a Party

Okay, kids, you know the drill. Don't be a jerk except to fictional characters. Warn if you want, but read at your own risk, because

hydratrashmeme is about as far from a safe space as you can get. Garbage we like: noncon, whump, aftermath, violence, mind control, inappropriate uses of Bucky Barnes' metal arm, bad guys doing dirtybadwrong things to your faves. Garbage you should find a different trashcan for: a/b/o, D/s-verse, soulbonds, mundane AUs, OOC evil!good guys doing dirtybadwrong things to your faves, rotting leftovers dressed up as a romantic gourmet meal. Nothing wrong with 'em, but this isn't the crowd you should be pitching to if you're trying to sell Brock Rumlow as anything but a human dumpster fire.

Link your fills on the fill post, post unprompted fills as replies to a header comment so the wall o' text is collapsible, and let me know if you're interested in helping out with the Pinboard archive.

I love this part.

Is it too much to hope the safety equipment mean Steve leashes it?

AA here.

The safety gear is, as the name implies, for keeping things safe.

Specifically, two things. These two things are as follows:

1. The Asset. Keeping the Asset safe from everyone else.

2. Everyone else. Keeping everyone else safe from the Asset.

If these two goals are best achieved by a leash, then the Asset will very much be leashed.

Thank you for commenting!

DA:

What does it say about me, that the moment I read "keeping the Asset safe from other people" I immediately jumped to "muzzle."

DA:

I thought muzzle as well. :D

Excellent as usual, A!A

AA here.

All I am saying is...Maybe...

What do you think? How would a muzzle help keep others/the Asset safe?

I mean, a muzzle is normally used to keep things out of the mouth, right? How could that possibly be relevant?

(Yeeeesssss....)

Thanks for commenting.

DA:

A muzzle would prevent anyone from putting anything in its mouth or the Asset from biting or taking anything into its mouth that it isn't supposed to have. In case they run into someone and the Asset gets confused. A muzzle would prevent accidental misbehavior.

First muzzle anon here:

Dearest AA, please take this wherever you were planning -- I was just idly thinking muzzle, because I've been on a doggy!Bucky kick recently, and a muzzle would stop Bucky from biting and would also stop people from putting unwanted things in his mouth. But your Bucky here is clearly not a doggy!Bucky. Although ... a leash is a good way to keep other people safe, but there should be a good way to keep Bucky safe from other people, too. If it's just a leash, Bucky might be worried that he'd have to sit there and accept whatever other people deal out. Maybe his Winter Soldier mask, which (a) protects his mouth, and (b) gives him implicit permission to to into WS mode and defend himself?

Anyway, that was just me idly brainstorming. Will be happy with whatever you'd decided.

AA here.

While this isn't intended as a full on doggy!Bucky story I do have a kink for pet-play the size of the moon. I was planning from the start on incorporating quite a number of those elements, but not in an overt doggy!Bucky sense.
So while there will be a number of props of that category (Yes. muzzle, collar, crawling etc) the point won't be to get the Asset into an explicit Puppy-space mindset.

Stepping out of the Asset's POV to explain the situation.
The long term goal is to get the Asset socialized with non-handler people in a setting that doesn't involve it being passed around like a party favor.
Unfortunately this has to be done in stages since the Asset still doesn't trust anyone who is not Handler Rogers and literally can't process the idea that it deserves better without flipping out in a WS!rampage.
Primarily, the safety gear is designed to make the Asset harmless to other people because it really is a danger to others. It isn't allowed to fight anymore for this reason, remember.
Secondly, the safety gear is also designed to make the Asset feel protected from people taking sexual advantage of its helpless state. Though this is, in reality, unnecessary because the Avengers would never do something like that to it. The Asset believes they will however, because that is the only reality it can understand.
By "pretending" to be possessive of the Asset and staking his "claim" on it with the safety gear, Steve hopes to enable the Asset to take the first steps towards trusting people.

You are absolutely correct on every point, except that the Asset does not have permission to "go into WS mode and defend himself".

So the Asset can chill out and relax because there is no way anyone can do anything truly bad to it when it wears the safety gear.
The apartment has become the Asset's safety zone, Handler Rogers it's safety person and the safety gear is literally it's "safety gear".

I hope I made som sense in all this rambling. If something isn't clear please let me know and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
I love answering the questions of my readers.

Thank you for commenting!

DA, How about headphones? The trigger words are a concern, after all.

I was thinking leashes, too, I won't lie!
