Okay so I feel the need to make a little Hawkeye ramble.  Namely, why I love him so much, and the moment it clicked how much I truly identified with him.

Feel free to not read this, it’s really just for my own benefit.

That scene and that whole issue are my favourites, too. I’ve liked most of the stuff I’ve read so far – Blindspot was particularly useful as prequel info for Fraction’s Hawkeye, and I’ve only once actively disliked him. (It was in Secret Avengers, from back when I think Remender was writing it, and he wrote Clint as being an incompetent, grade A+ dick to everyone.)

Will look for Hawkeye and Mockingbird. Anything else you think I should add to the reading list, hint hint?

Oh man, okay, um… Look for H&M, but don’t read it until you’ve gotten some previous Clint-and-Bobbi under your belt because honestly it will break your heart more if you get to see them together before that, and I am a big fan of breaking your heart over those two, ngl.

SO!  His very first arc in Tales of Suspense (I don’t have issues i’m so sorry), where he ends up working with Natasha?  READ IT, IT IS HILARIOUS.  

Early Avengers, the second team that was led by Cap and comprised of Cap, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver.  (The Cap’s Delinquents team – poor Cap, having to wrangle snotty ex-criminals who are basically still teenagers and who have a surplus of sass and attitude.  And also Wanda.)

I don’t know if you’ve read the original Hawkeye solo, but that’s the one where he meets Bobbi and it is so worth it.

WEST COAST AVENGERS!  Just… West Coast Avengers.

Secret Invasion is also a must-read, ESPECIALLY if you’re at all invested emotionally in Clint and his feelings about Bobbi.  It— yeah.  I can’t really— it’s emotional.

THEN Hawkeye and Mockingbird, after Secret Invasion.  There’s another thing with the two of them between SI and H&M but I can’t remember what. -_- Some poking on google could probably provide an answer, and it’s definitely worth finding if only because I remember Clint makes a Grey’s Anatomy reference in it because he is a loser, but I don’t remember the actual title it was in. It’s been ages since I read it.

Some New Avengers stuff from post Civil War is also good, but again, it’s been ages since I read it and I can’t remember where to start you there.  (those are also good for cute Luke Cage/Jess Jones moments, if that is important to you.  They’re so precious.)

Also, Iunno if you’ve read Avengers Assemble?  But there’s an arc where Clint and Jess and Natasha go on a mission together and it’s vaguely awkward (this was before the Clint/Jess breakup) and totally adorable and totally awesome.

HOPEFULLY THIS HELPS AT ALL AND ISN’T JUST A MASH OF UNHELPFUL THINGS okay.

I have issues 1-9 of Avengers Assemble, but not the rest. I need to get it. The Hawkeye Solo thing I have is him basically playing at private detective to solve a guy’s death, and I have the run of five issues, but I haven’t read it fully yet, and I don’t know if that’s the solo thing you meant.

I have this Hawkeye torrent already on my to-download list, but it’s massive, so it’ll take me ages on our limited connection. I’ll look for West Coast Avengers and Secret Invasion and the other stuff, though.

WHAT IFClint hasn’t been seen since the Avengers because he had other duties to attend…

insp. by the-age-of-the-understatement's submitted mini fic.

a) this is adorable

b) before i got to the one about ‘mama’ i totally thought someone had put together a pic/gifset for copperbadge’s hawkey and anklebiter verse.

Awww, I’m sure Clint had many nights during those first six months where he was like PLEASE LET HER MOTHER RANDOMLY SHOW UP AND DECIDE SHE WANTS HER AFTER ALL.

Being fair, if Izzy’s mother had shown up and asked to have Izzy back, Clint would have gone ballistic and fled with Iz.

Look who came to live on my desk! And look who’s happy to see him…

phlintscones said: Is that the Ken doll Hawkeye? Omg I want one

He’s just a cheapy Hawkeye. He’s fairly stiff (I’ll pause here for all the possible jokes. Come on, you know you wanna!). But he was the right height for Plastic!Phil, and, since Bobblehead!Coulson and Wee!Coulson both had their own Clints, I had to keep him from being lonely. The pics I’ve taken are HILARIOUS. I should post more of them…

paperdollkiss said: perfection, and yes… weirdly intense. But, that is our boys.

You’re not wrong!!!

Post all the inappropriate pics… all of them. Pretty please??

There are more going up THIS VERY SECOND. And there are even MORE inappropriate pics waiting in the wings. 

What? I was supposed to be writing, but couldn’t come up with words. So I just started doing indecent things with my desk decor…

Clint has given each Avenger a name in sign language.  Thor is the letter ‘T’ in the motion of a hammer.  Steve is a salute with an “R”. Hulk is an “H” over the bicep, but Bruce is the sign for doctor followed by the letter “B”.  Natasha is an “N” being shot from his other wrist like a widow bite. His own name is a “C” being drawn back like a bow.  Stark is an “S” taking flight, unless Barton is mad at him, then he fingerspells “A.S.” for Anthony Stark, but accidentally on purpose adds a second “S”. 

actually this is how giving names work in sign language! usually you sign the first letter of the persons name and a motion that summarises them as a person, or something that reminds you of them!

A.S.

s

Well, really, from what I’ve gathered it actually varies on how giving names works. I’ve seen the “first letter of your name as a sign that describes you” but then some Deaf communities say absolutely not, you don’t do that, they just get a sign or two that together in context mean that person. So (again, from what I’ve been able to research) it depends. Some people would find this way of naming people 100% accurate and some people would find it 100% INaccurate.
