‘He is gracious and very kind. The depth of his talent, and the extent of his range is well documented, and he is also a good man.’
Jeff on Tom: ‘He’s a super-duper actor. He’s a real practitioner… He’s an eight-degree black-belt master of the craft… He dresses very nicely and I like his style, of course.’
“people w adhd are annoying 😤“ yeah well, try living with it, buddy. now that’s annoying, let me tell ya…
honestly like we’re already painfully aware of how annoying we can be, it’s not deliberate it’s literally a part of our disorder and if we could stop it we would so maybe have some fucking compassion and be patient with us
The reason why people with ADHD can be annoying is because we have issues with executive functioning which makes impulse control difficult. You know all those dumb shit things you THINK about saying but don’t bc you know everyone would think you were a loser? We can’t help but say them. and every time someone is talking to you and you really want to interject with some idea you have but you don’t bc you know it would be rude and make ppl irritated at you? We can’t help it–we interject.
We do these things faster than we can stop ourselves. I will literally be saying something painfully foot in mouth or talking nonstop about some dumb special interest while this little voice in the background is like stop what are you doing they are clearly annoyed with you–please just stop, and it’s too late, I’ve already gotten started and there’s no turning back. It’s a big reason why a lot of ppl with adhd have trouble with social skills bc a big part of that is impulse control.
It’s also Bucky being more than a little upset that they turned his gentle, harmless friend—who Bucky wanted to PROTECT from the horrors of war—into a fighting machine.
was that really necessary
it’s also Bucky realizing that he can no longer protect his best friend no matter how hard he tries. he’s utterly helpless now, even after the war is over. they’ll always be wanting steve to fight this or that, and bucky won’t be able to do a darn thing to protect him.
It’s also Bucky taking the 5 seconds he has of Steve not paying attention to him so he can allow himself to process all these emotions without worrying Steve. If you watch Bucky through the movies, you’ll notice he always makes sure to look like he’s 100% fine if other people are looking at him. Fighting with Steve, but smiling at their dates. Recently tortured, but walking confidently by Steve’s side. Basically a mess, but all “Let’s hear it for Captain America!” It’s a pattern, really. Even in the flashback in CATWS, you can see he looks a lot less confident when Steve isn’t looking at him than when Steve is.
Also, Seb has mentioned that researching WW2, what left the deepest impression was how quickly everybody dies. You get attached to someone only to watch their heads being blown up in front of you the next day. I’m sure this influenced how he chose to act this scene. Because you can bet by the time this scene takes place, Bucky has seen many people – hell, maybe even friends – die, and recently, he’s had to see his whole unit be killed or captured by HYDRA. This certainly plays a role here. It’s not just a general sense of “I can’t protect Steve anymore,” it’s more like “I don’t know if Steve will live till next week.” It’s very real, very immediate. It’s a concrete prediction more than a vague fear. And if Steve’s survives, there’s still the fact Bucky knows what’s like to be changed by war, and Steve will be changed by it, which Bucky certainly hates. Either way, he loses the Steve he knew, even more than he’s already lost, with the whole “Steve Rogers is suddenly a super soldier” deal.
I’d say this scene is wartime Bucky in a nutshell. He handles the entire crowd and this whole Captain America propaganda thing without hesitation, he smiles at Steve and makes sure Steve enjoys the moment instead of pulling some “I did my duty” bullshit, and only then he allows himself to be overwhelmed by the fear that comes with being able to think 48923740 worst case scenarios in two seconds. If we can trust interviews with cast and crew, this eventually becomes his role in the war, basically – he thinks fast and does his job protecting Captain America and the missions, he takes care of Steve on a personal level by shielding him from the worst of the war as much as he can, and only then, if there’s time and Steve isn’t looking, he thinks about how the war is affecting him.
But anyway, overall, this scene is about overwhelming loss of everything Bucky knows, as well as an attempt to hide this as well as he can. And I don’t think it’s a coincidence that in the 4th and 5th gifs, Seb looks a lot like comics!Bucky does when he says goodbye to his younger sister, thinking he’ll never see her again and almost breaking down in tears, but unwilling to show her he’s scared.

“Pikachurin is an extracellular matrix-like retinal protein first described in 2008 in Japan by Shigeru Sato et al., and named after Pikachu, a character of the Pokémon franchise. The name of this “nimble” protein was inspired due to Pikachu’s “lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects”.”
IM GONAN FUCKIN
Osmosis Jones was released in 2001. Ozzy and Drix was released in 2002 and ran for 2 seasons. Pikachurin was discovered in 2008.
The animators just threw in a fucking pikachu and got lucky.
