no pressure, I know you're slammed with game RPs and existing meme stuff already

God yes, let's do something else, merdude or something else!

yes please!

I've got Bucky, Natasha, Steve, Wanda, and Peggy I can throw at anyone, lol

Oh gosh! I have Rumlow, Bucky, Pietro to throw in the pot

Bucky & Rumlow are only really fun if Bucky's recovered enough to have some ability to say 'no' to him, I do think

or in an AU like the merdudes

Yes, I agree with you there. Otherwise it's a lot of Rumlow telling him what to do and leading, which can get tedious

Mmmmmm, merdudes

I do love those merdudes XD

they're hot, yum

I like the mix of aggression and friendship they've got there

I really like that. Are they going to get caught sleeping cuddled together in our thread?

eheh I suppose we should invite the others in if we want that to happen

They'll probably just get up and snarl at each other and go opposite directions XD

they just passed out there after fighting. OBVIOUSLY

Clearly. That's how they roll in that Shire

I do want to keep playing with your Rumlow, though

watching this trainwreck you and Jess have going on in the soulmates meme is amazing

Oh yes, we should think of some other antics for them to get up to in the mer-world or something else, maybe a meme or some kind of psl

God it's a glorious train wreck. Fire and explosions and everything

it really, really is. I'd throw somebody at him in that meme but you're already covering everything good with Steve, Bucky would just kill him and Natasha would probably do the same

though I do kind of want to play with the idea of Natasha finding her soulmate and FLATLY REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT

Ha ha, yes... Rumlow deserves to be hurt and badly

OMG yes Natasha, that would be hilarious. You know... I've never RP'd with a Natasha for more than like 2 comments

I ghosted around on bakerstreet for a while but it was before I knew you at all

the question is, if I throw her at Brock on there, how the hell do we keep them from dying, or him dragging her into HYDRA?

post fall of HYDRA maybe?

Yeah, BS is really hit and miss, especially lately

I haven't read the comics on the Red Room part of it yet, but that is also an avenue, but he kind of needs to have some measure of freedom, which is hard to justify for him

not sure what you mean? What does the Red Room have to do with it?

MCU wise, I'm not sure if he's going to be included in that canon

Rumlow involved in Red Room? I didn't know that

Oh no, but Bucky might have been?

I can't imagine that Rumlow had anything to do with it, since he was more of a thug and such

Rumlow would be the worst soulmate ever

oh I was talking about her with Brock, so I was confused, lol

I knew about Bucky's connection to her, though I haven't read the comics for it either

We are all confused. I blame the heat, ha ha

Yes, I feel bad for her if she has to have a round with Brock

all the good Brock/Steve ideas you're doing with Jess already, lol. So we need to find Brock/Bucky stuff that won't be boring b/c Bucky's too broken

Mmmm yes, but those can be hard to come by. I suspect we can think of something glorious though. We are both very creative people

what would Brock have been like as a handler for the asset? Like, would there be some respect, or would he be an ass just because Bucky couldn't fight back?

Depends on the Rumlow. If it's like a shipping meme, he's generally the biggest ass, since the asset doesn't make overtures for sex. Probably can't even say no.

oh yeah I was thinking more in terms of how Bucky would view him AFTER he'd recovered - if Brock was someone who treated him decently back then, he might not just kill him out of hand

Generally I play him as a good handler, crisp orders, ability to work well with the asset but isn't afraid to come down hard on anyone who might jeopardize a mission. He'd even take the boot to the asset if he

had to, but he sometimes prefers the 'carrot' method, not that Bucky gets any real carrots. He would have liked to leave the missions to the Soldier and be second in command that way. However, he'd take

lead if there was a problem or a malfunction with the Soldier. He'd be extremely efficient to the point of ruthless. He's willing to throw anyone under the bus for the mission.

I wouldn't say he was cruel to the Soldier, since the scene where he's getting zapped sort of makes it seem like Rumlow might have apprehension about that part of it

However, if he gets mad or pushed, he'd totally have his finger on the button XD

I'm just pondering something where he maybe runs into Rumlow some time after the fall of hydra, fights off some shield agents trying to take

Brock down because he remembers liking Brock as his favorite handler or something

Oh that could be a wonderful twist!

I could see them bonding kind of oddly on missions that lasted long enough for Bucky to be out a few days, lol

As long as Bucky just firmly refuses to allow Brock to talk him back around to being in HYDRA, it could work ,lol
