I’m Slowly Letting Sambucky Devour My Soul And It’s Gotten To The Point That I’m Convinced There’s

remembering an interaction you had with The Character or their actor long before your obsession is really funny. like i remember years ago people were fan casting Sebastian Stan as young(er) Luke Skywalker in the shows after the deep fake in the mandalorian looked so bad. and all the way back then i was like "who is that? oh the winter soldier guy. yeah i can see it" cut to now where my pinterest and youtube notifications are 80% bucky content and im seeing thunderbolts again in a couple days and he's my gender envy/inspo like. damn. i had no idea.

Is Sambucky Canon? (Part 2)

Spoilers ahead obviously....

Sambucky is canon in the shippiest way. They're not officially a couple but they're also not "not a couple".

They're either already married or building the longest slow burn in MCU history. And this has been the case since Avengers: Endgame.

The only difference now is that everyone seems to acknowlegde it. The fandom (whether they're Sambucky shippers or not) , but also the writers.

At first I found it weird how Sam didn't have have any love interest in the MCU but now it seems deliberate. I also doubt Bucky will have a love interest in Thunderbolts.

It's heavily implied that they're eachother's love interest. Them staring at a sunset together, them doing a soul gazing during couples therapy, the pictures in Sam and Joaquin's HQ, them throwing the L word any chance they get , ... It's getting a little less subtle each time.

Bucky went to be with Sam because he knew he needed him, he comforted him, gave him a pep talk and then told him he loved him.

No Sambucky shipper would have ever imagined those words would ever be said to each other.

TL,DR: Sambucky isn't canon, but it's not "only a fanon ship" either. It has left the fandom sphere, I feel like Sambucky is an "official" ship. They know it exists and they care about it, they are nurturing it and hopefully they're planning to let it flourish.

as soon as Bucky told Sam he loves him I knew I was about to become so annoying about it

sam wilson has become one of those characters that i was pretty neutral on when they were first introduced but people give them so much unwarranted hate that ive been pushed into being an avid defender and now they’re genuinely my favorite character

ok hear me out: we give Bucky his car

lots of people saying bucky’s shame room would be torture as the winter soldier but it’s actually that one scene in civil war when he beats up steve cause he doesn’t recognize him

not now babe I’m witnessing a divorce

ok so who’s going to buy me the Seth egg

post credit scenes aren’t TECHNICALLY canon right???
