buckynating:notahammer:notahammer:We were both weapons once… to be used.rebloggin this cos i already know all about how fandom likes to turn natasha into a series of symbols with no center#but I LOVE how this set#uses the empathy we already have (are trained to have) for bucky barnes#and tells us to take it and use it to look inside natasha romanoff#and find her internal experience too(via tacsuit)#THANK AND BLESS#i very rarely feel the urge to pluck out tags and put them on my blog but this#this is what i was going for with gifset (besides the obvious ship parallels and#how desperately intimate their arcs are even at a distance)#natasha romanoff is not an easily accessible character#stop trying to make sense of her with boxes#stop trying to make sense of her through hollow iconography#stop scanning her from comfortable oblique angles#but take the lens of empathy that is provided (and validated in the text) for Bucky#and put Natasha under a microscope and seek her interiority and experience#it is there if you want to see it#it is there and horrifyingly similar to that of the character who recieves the most undiluted outpouring of sympathy from the fandom (via @notahammer) -- source link
