You can call me Ryland or Rye (+ anything else I go by), Bucky Barnes' guard dog since November 29th. Our ship name is Dogfight. I am a non sharing yume shipper and would appreciate if doubles didn’t interact, but I wouldn’t be mad or block if they did. Zemo & HYDRA fans are not welcome here! Right now, I plan to hopefully commission artists soon for some Dogfight fanart... In all seriousness yumeshipping cured my depression. You can read more info on my yume "oc" here (coming soon).


12/8/25⠀⠀Start of my little loveblog... I love Bucky so much here's an "in character" letter I wrote for him:

Buck, I ain’t good at this mushy stuff, so don’t laugh. Or do, I guess. Your dumb smile’s half the reason I’m writin’ this in the first place. I been tryin’ to figure out how a guy like me ended up with somebody like you, and before you say anything smart, yeah, I know I ain’t a catch. I’m stubborn, I swear too much, I leave my socks everywhere, and I hog the blankets. You remind me daily. But you… Buck, you look at me like I’m somebody worth stickin’ around for. Like I ain’t the sum of all my mistakes. Like I’m still that kid from Brooklyn who punched too far above his weight and hoped nobody noticed how scared he was. You make me feel... hell, I don’t know... safe. And that word don’t come easy to me. Sometimes I watch you when you ain’t lookin’. (Don’t make that face. Yeah, I’m bein’ sappy. Let me finish.) You get this soft look, around the eyes. Maybe you don’t even know you do it. But it’s the kinda look a man gets when he’s got somethin’ precious in his hands and he ain’t sure he deserves it. I know that look. 'Cause I get it every time I look at you. And I know we got our rough edges. We fight, we snap, we both got ghosts that wake up swingin’. You drive me crazy in every direction, Buck—north, south, sideways—and half the time I wanna kiss you just to shut you up. But I ain’t goin’ anywhere. Not again. You hear me? Not after everything. Not after the war. Not after losin’ you once, and then twice, and then more times than I can count. You’re it for me. You always were, even when neither of us had the guts to say it out loud. Even when all we had was a look across a barracks room and a promise we couldn’t name. Let me hold you ‘til the world stops spinnin’. You do that for me more times than you know. I love you, Buck. More than is useful for either of us. Yours, Rye.

P.S. If you tell Steve I wrote this, I’ll throw you off the fire escape.


12/9/25⠀⠀Chat I love my husband I'm gonna play rivals and stare at him all day... I BOUGHT THE LITTLE ALPINE ACCESSORY we heart Alpine! If only Bucky got Alpine in the MCU...


12/11/25⠀⠀I'm gonna yap about things I headcannon about Bucky and me & our relationship

  • Bucky is surprisingly affectionate, however never in public. After HYDRA, safe touch has really grounded him
  • Loves words of affirmation and quiet reassurances, his ears turn pink. Sadly has abandonment issues
  • The two are big on parallel play! Just love being close to one another, they don't have to talk
  • Bucky likes to lie on the floor alot. Rye will sit on top of him like an overgrown cat. Buck also runs hot while Rye is always cold so it works out
  • They bicker and fight alot, though they wouldn't want to be with anyone else. That's just what happens when you're together for 80 years
  • Good old fashioned mannerisms, they actually fight over who pays on dates and who holds the door open
  • Ryland's primary love language is acts of service. Love's fixing Bucky's gear, cooking for him, patching him up after missions, etc
  • I don't care I love the idea of Bucky using the petname "doll" I think it's so charming (sighs wistfully)

12/12/25⠀⠀Okay so it's time for a rant I hate how people didn't like Thunderbolts. I think the movie was fantastic and all the new characters were so cool. I don't particulary agree with the whole "New Avengers" thing (just because the 2012 Avengers will always be THE AVENGERS to me). But anyways let me get to the point. Alot of people complained that Bucky "didn't look like Bucky" in Thunderbolts and that makes no sense to me. They all complained that he was fat LIKE WHAT?? It's almost like... when someone isn't being starved and tortured and actually gets to live a life they gain weight... I LOVE CHUNKY BUCKY how dare you shame him. ARE YOU GUYS BLIND??? :(
