Re: When your favorite character in your OTP isn't the other shippers' favorite in the OTP

Where my fellow F!S Steve/Bucky OTP-ers at? I know y'all are here and this is us all over hahahaha. Ugh.

I like both characters a lot, actually. It's just that fandom really, really loves Bucky Barnes, and I always take it so personally when Steve is slighted in fic. It's a trying time.

The takeaway here is that life is not fun when Steve Rogers is your favorite.

I thought I'd weathered the worst on scans_daily circa 2007, but I couldn't have foreseen the MCU and its fandom.

They are not like...mean to Steve, they just tend to always focus on the other partner and/or put Steve in the carer role. Let Steve be the vulnerable one damn it!

What I find weird is that, in pre-war fics, people are perfectly willing to focus on Steve's issues and woobieness (big part of why I read mostly pre-war these days), especially the bad health aspect which gets blown way out of proportion half the times. I thought the point was that getting the super soldier body didn't actually make him invulnerable to being hurt.

I guess we got de-serum fics to get our whump from. :(((((

De-serum fics make me anxious though XD Like, I have a fear of my illness relapsing and those stories remind me of that somehow. I guess most of them don't make it permanent so there's that.

I really love the both of them a lot, but yeah, fic really is very heavily skewed to Bucky which I do understand because jesus he's had some horrific things happen to him. But Steve hasn't had it easy either and it doesn't get the spotlight anywhere near as much, which is a shame. (Though tbh I think because his pain is far more understated and less in your face that's why it gets ignored a lot, I think people are just missing it without realising).

Yeah, I mean, I'm definitely here for both of them, and I'm not sure I'd be quite as "Steve is the fave!!!" if there weren't such an... imbalance in the fandom. I think you're right. As I was saying upthread, people seem to woobify Steve just fine in pre-war fics when he was small and sickly, but once he becomes a super soldier it seems his problems become much more subtle and easily glossed over. Which I hate, even though I love pre-war stories :(

You know you've got a point he does get woobified more when he's his small self which is... Odd really. As you've said its like people see his serum body and go with the idea that because it's harder for him to get sick all of his problems are gone? Which is BS, sure Steve likes to pretend he's fine but he's really not. :(

I know!!! For fuck's sake if Steve screws up in a story about Bucky's recovery (and I expect him to), I want to see him beating himself up over it, not other characters getting on his case.

So much yes about Steve. Bucky's awesome and all, but I'm much more interested in Steve.

F!S is weirdly the only place where I find a consensus on this, though I know many of us love this ship for both participants.
