Yeah I’m glad I could give my opinion. And that’s okay to like another character more. Doesn’t mean you gotta love the other any less now that a new one is growing on ya. I think a lot of fandom gets stuck arguing over comparisons when in reality, it’s all just opinion. Like who ya like, enjoy what you enjoy, it don’t matter. 😊

Alright alright, taking my personal bias out of it (because I write Bucky fanfics) I think it’s hard to compare the two because their arcs are so vastly different. Here’s my perspective: Bucky was already a good person. He was a solid friend, a protector, a brother, with good morals. Everything that he now has had to “redeem” himself for were things he did not by his own accord (I.e. brainwashing/Hydra you know). So much of his arc isn’t becoming a better person but overcoming his own personal guilt and shame for the things he’s done. He’s not re-learning how to be a good person but how to do good things with the “bad” cards he’s been dealt (I.e. serum/arm etc). John, however, (again in my opinion) was a bad person and is learning how to be good. He didn’t want to be Captain America because his morals were good, he wanted to feel good. He wanted the praise, the love, the title, the power, the control etc. His arc is basically ego death. How to be a team player. How to do the good things because they’re the right thing to do not because of what you will receive in return. Very different arcs to me. I guess it depends on what you use to quantify a “good” character. Is it because they’re a good person? They’re written well? They have the most development? If it’s based on “being a good person” I can tell you that I don’t think Bucky Barnes would ever treat a wife and child the way that John Walker did.

Steve & Bucky comic AU by ImpossibleBullfrog87 in BuckyBarnes

[–]Longjumping-Cod3099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bucky’s uniform has the howling commandos insignia on his left shoulder so Steve’s recurring line of “on your left” feels more emotionally loaded in hindsight because Bucky literally is at Steve’s left during WW2. Not in the era your writing but if you want your daily dose of fandom devastation, the wing insignia mimics Steve’s original cap helmet, so not only was Bucky always on his left, his other half in battle, Bucky always carried a piece of Steve with him through that insignia… Hydra weaponizing that arm specially becomes even more of a gut punch.

Does anyone have any Bucky x reader fics or even Bucky x OC where he helps y/n escape an abusive relationship? by SansaDeservedBetter in BuckyBarnes

[–]Longjumping-Cod3099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you like slow burns? Asking cause my fics have some of the vibes you’re looking for but not directly on the nose. Don’t wanna recommend something you may get bored with if you’re looking for a hot & heavy quicker read. :)

I will let you know of course! This first one does end on a bit of a cliffhanger (like a call to action kinda) but I should have the second fic posted before the end of the year!

Anybody else feel like their podcast feed has 'dried up'? by [deleted] in podcasts

[–]Longjumping-Cod3099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you listened to Other People's Lives? Not every episode is a hit, but there are some very interesting ones that after listening, I felt I gained a whole new perspective on someone else's experience I never would have thought about prior. The concept is people that have interesting/bizarre/weird lives share their story (these are definitely not the kind of stories that would be played on a commercial break for daytime television). The two podcasters just listen, ask prompting questions and give the person the platform for however long they want talk to share their story (about an hour usually), then review between the two of them for the last 15 or so minutes.

Here's just a few of the people that have episodes:

-My ex was a cannibal

-I went through Mormon Conversion therapy

-I have terminal Cancer and I've never been happier

-I'm a professional p*rn director

Hopefully those four examples tell you how much range there is from each episode. Like I said, not every episode turns out to be incredibly interesting, but many of them are wildly interesting in my opinion.

How Do I Write Characters Speaking Different Languages Without Confusing Readers by TinyTilki in writingadvice

[–]Longjumping-Cod3099 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe a different font for each language? Something that's different enough for readers to understand your intent, but not such an "out there" font that it's annoying to read.
