Re: CA:TWS

[nightscale]

I can give or take his hair tbh. I'm more bothered by fic that have Bucky's arm just come off without any issue and... it really does not look like that thing could be removed easily, if at all to me.

Yeah having Bucky and WS be two distinct personalities is, well odd. If it's a fic where he's given DID for the purposes of the story it's fine but if that's not the case then I don't like it. But then those fics often have Bucky go back to being exactly how he was before the war, and even without the whole WS mess Bucky wasn't going to be the same as before.

Unless his arm is detachable and fitted into a kind of shoulder port, it seems welded right into his body and nervous system... so yeah, not the kind of thing you'd detach.

If you look at the pictures, it does look detachable to me actually. It looks like part of the mechanism is embedded in his shoulder socket, but there's a line where the actual arm seems to "click in". But obviously it wouldn't be like a regular prosthetic.

A bit like Edward Elric's, then?

Re: CA:TWS

[kallanda_lee]

I guess! I'm not that intimately familiar with Edward's arm.

Re: CA:TWS

It's about the same: you have a port directly connected to nerve endings which you can't remove (or with difficulty - the process is so painful that you don't want a repeat performance if you can avoid it) and the rest of the arm clicks inside, then it's secured by bolts connecting everything together.

Re: CA:TWS

Yeah the shoulder port idea could work and I've seen it in fic but I've seen far more of 'oh we'll just take this metal arm off, no big' in fic and it always annoys me a little. Tbh I'm not even sure how much of Bucky's original arm is even left underneath all that metal.

YES. That's another thing that hurts my soul. And asides from the fact that I LOVE how the arm looks and I become sad when they take it off, well how could they take it off like that? It also probably goes all the way into nis brain and spine, it's not like you can just take it off like that? It's not a prosthetic arm, it's a weapon they built on their weapon, not meant to be taken off.

But then those fics often have Bucky go back to being exactly how he was before the war,
That's a bit too much IMO, yes. And well, my main issue with this is that really I can't understand why anyone would want him to revert to what he once was. I think what makes new Bucky such a freaking interesting character is that he's so dark and that he has to get through the programming and what he has done. It's heartbreaking, but that's what makes him such a complex and interesting and sad character, and at the same time so badass and ultimately terrifying.

My love for TWS is showing a bit too much, SORRY.
