I fell in love with Bucky because of the movie Thunderbolts*

Yes, I discovered the Bucky side in 2025, my girlfriend helped me lmao and now I'm totally into it. I already wanted to see this movie because of Bob Reynolds, as I had seen edits about him and thought, “Who is this super cute guy?” And BOOM, I found myself at the movie theater watching Thunderbolts. A few days later, I thought about it again, and I thought about the character of Bucky, and I started to get interested in him. I talked to my girlfriend and went to read a wiki (I don't have Disney+, sorry, I can't (and don't necessarily want to at the moment) catch up on the movies I haven't seen), and I was like... Wow. I needed more, so I went on Tumblr. I love that platform for reading fanfiction. I've posted there before and it was a great experience. Personally, I prefer Tumblr to AO3, so I go on Tumblr more often, haha. I read several fanfictions, and now I'm writing my own x)  

If anyone's interested, I created my own OC for my fanfics on the Marvel fandom. I took my very first OC that I ever created, which has been around since 2017, gave her story a facelift, forged a real personality for her, and I ship her with Bucky :]
