If your world falls apart, I’d start a riot

-Banners, Start a Riot

This gif contradicts a lot of fics I’ve read where Bucky considers his arm a deadly weapon, what makes him monstrous, etc etc. Look at the very human, nervous, exasperated gesture of him twiddling his thumbs. This is muscle memory, comfort, a completely natural and biological human response. This scene and the plum/market scene really showed the softer, more elusive side of Bucky’s physical presence. Bucky’s arm is part of him, as it should be. He is a disabled character with an advanced cybernetic prosthetic. Which, you know, makes the ending of civil war and the fact that he was farming one-armed even harder to watch. It must have hurt like hell to lose his arm…twice.
