Fan work. Winter soldier. Neural network

It’s Admire Sebastian Stan’s Silent Acting Time

LOOK AT HIM

I CAN NAME AT LEAST 6 EMOTIONS THAT CROSS HIS EYES

AND THOSE ARE JUST ONES I KNOW HOW TO NAME

The way his metal arm falters and falls a little >>>

And then his shoulders hunch in and he turns his chest towards Steve 😭😭😭

On God I don’t think it’s in this clip but ON GOD his lips twitch up into an almost-snarl like his programming is still trying to fight for dominance 😭😭😭

His chin tilts up!! Which is a sign of submission because it bares his throat which he wouldn’t do if he thought he were in danger (which he has been consecutively for over 70 years) 😭😭😭 oh god this is the first time he ever gets to catch a BREAK he has to know that this man would never hurt him

His eyes widen. It’s so minuscule it’s INSANE. Like you can see the light turning back on. It’s just the one bulb in the back storage room buried behind boxes but it’s there.

The tiny gasping breath he takes KILLS ME 😭

Jaw hanging like he might say something before his throat tightens 😭😭😭😭😭

CAN YOU IMAGINE IF HE SAID “Steve?” JUST LIKE IN TFA BUT SMALLER AND HORRIFIED I WOULD’VE DIED RIGHT THERE

Anyway this shot specifically always takes me apart at the seams 😃

Props to you, Sebastian Stan 😭
