Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 05/10/2026No but I need fic for what happens in this universe where Bucky escapes in 1988 and Peggy and Howard know it's him because a) Howard alive when Steve thaws out and b) Bucky already back to himself and remembering Steve when Steve thaws out and c) PEGGY AND HOWARD KNOW AND IT'S SO FUCKED UP 010
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The story "Deathflash" from the anthology "Thirteen" from Point Thriller. If you remember Point Thriller you may be entitled to a seniors discount. 020
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I've already seen Thunderbolts so I already knew Bucky became a member of congress. Watching Captain America 4 now and the concept has not gotten less silly with familiarity. Like he seemed pretty happy chilling in Wakanda. And Sharon's like, a dark web kingpin holding raves or something? 000
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 03/10/2026On account of Robin being my favourite superhero forever, I was a Bucky fan prior to the Brubaker run. It was slim pickings -- the only character hated more was Jason Todd (pre-2005 was a very different time) -- but this is from a Mark Waid story around 1999. 000
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I've been planning my trip to Asia next month with @cmu.bsky.social and she's full of cultural plans like hanbok dressup and climbing Mt Fuji (she's doing that one alone lmao) and I'm like "maybe I can take my Rin nui to the TnC locations I missed last time, like the Starbucks next to Junkudo." 390
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Why are you stroking his chin stop stroking his chin DON'T GIVE MY BOY MORE TRAUMA HE HAS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT 010
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Okay so they're negotiating with a female information broker who has just been horny on main at Sam and then Zemo offers their bargaining chip: "I give you him. Along with the code words to control him, of course. He will do anything you want." Marvel this is so fucked up. Marvel. MARVEL. 110
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Sometimes I think about how cross Andrew Hussie would get when people asked, like, "is Feferi chubby?" -- he'd be all "the art is RIGHT THERE" and the art was HIGHLY stylised, they were mostly little oval-headed gnomes, and also we were the generation told by Naoko Takeuchi that Usagi was chubby. 060
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 02/10/2026As far as I can tell, in the 1980s there was no rock musician named Eric Peters performing, but Poison Idea are very much real and got interviewed by a teenage Courtney Love this one time www.facebook.com/groups/11105... she also had a guitar with their sticker on it in the nineties. 000
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I'm pretty sure Max Allan Collins got the idea for Jason to be a homeless thief from Dick Tracy Junior, since I'm pretty sure he wrote Dick Tracy at some point? I used to know this stuff more definitively. I am forgetting the essential knowledge. 100
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 01/10/2026bucky what is this even at my most mentally ill i had a MATTRESS 360
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 30/09/2026My understanding is that a lot of people hate Captain Carter because they think she's a mary sue, to which I say YOU'RE BORING the idea of a big buff superhero woman and her brainwashed soviet terrorist twink is GREAT plus she has amazing chemistry with Natasha. What If is generally a great time. 030
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Okay so this one is set during the cold war and russia and america have teamed up against an alien threat and russia sends the winter soldier and peggy's like "the rumours are true, that's bucky" and howard's like "the man we knew is gone, we don't have time for that now" it's SO FUCKED UP ahhhhhhhh 110
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I don't have it up at the moment but I have a print of this one. 140
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Steve gets bitten by a zombie, Bucky fights him on a train, Bucky cuts Steve in half with his shield, Steve falls off the train, Bucky looks back at him as the train pulls away and says "Sorry pal, looks like this is the end of the line." Cartoons are good actually. 110
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I think of Bucky/Peggy as the Frodo/Rosie pairing -- it just makes everything TIDIER even if there's nothing canonical to build on. They can bond over loving a literal grenade jumper. 140
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I was going to say "very occasionally I will allow heterosexuality" but then I remembered Peggy gets a gay kiss in the Agent Carter show and Steve is Steve so these two are very much bi4bi. 1100
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Handed in my assignment. I don't think it's going to do as well as the Beloved essay but in my defense, I went insane. 090
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Did I ever tell you guys about when I saw the force awakens on opening day, not knowing anything about the casting or the plot, and it got up to the bit where Kylo Ren takes his mask off and my immediate, irrational thought was "it's going to be fucking Harry Potter all over again." 120
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The thing you have to understand is, *twelve years ago* I had to get reading glasses for the first time and I chose "black with green arms" because a douchebag in a BL game I liked had glasses like that. That's how long I've been down this hole. 0100
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Also I feel it's important everyone know that the Marvel Rivals comic gave the Winter Soldier tentacles and had him hang out with no-serum Steve, which is a ship with over 1200 fics archiveofourown.org/tags/Shrinky... the ficcers probably didn't forsee the tentacles but you never know with fandom 120
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Deranged murder children are my favourite part of superhero comics. 000
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 24/09/2026If you didn't love them at this then how can you properly love them at the potomac 000
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I got an official marvel novel because I've lost control of my life and because it's comicsverse Bucky starts out sixteen. Yes good, superhero sidekicks should be insane child soldiers always. Make me question the ethics and judgement of everyone involved in putting them in the field. 140
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Happy tenth anniversary to the Dangan Ronpa 3 anime, in which two characters who are both the winter soldier got to live happily ever after shhhhh we're ignoring the fact they're in a new killing game soon shhhh look at the cookies. 040
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I don't remember liking Captain America: Civil War (I've never gone back and re-watched it) but it does have Steve doing what I always think of as "the Kaworu bit" which should probably be more correctly named "the Homura bit" but which is when a character says "I'll literally let you die for them." 120
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I love Etsy so much yeah sure let's give Kip back his vibranium arm. 010
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Doing the meme. The precures that are there are the ones that made me cry the most but frankly the whole layout could be precure. It's the only anime I regularly watch and it's very special to me. Sailor Moon was formative. Devilman, Evangelion, Death Note, and the two Promare entries are for yaoi. 030
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Rin's team is песика кошика, pesika koshka, Russian for 'dog and cat', but when I was working on the translation I incorrectly translated it as Пес и кошика, pes i koshka, which is the *feminine* form of 'dog and cat', and even though I told Jast to tell Nitro I fucked up they kept it in True Blood. 150
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Okay I promise I will stop shitposting after this but look at this magnificent bullshit. The one in the muzzle may be the saddest wet cat merchandise of any character I have ever seen. 050
Mary @sharpestrose.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Marvel posted this DURING PRIDE losing my mind I am desperate to write my dissertation about marvel's bullshit and the healing power of heated rivalry you have NO IDEA. 190
