the fact that i have seen steve and bucky living in clint’s brooklyn building exactly one time in a very small part of an alright at best fic is tragic

i mean just imagine it:

  • bucky and steve over the moon to be living in a building that reminds them of where they lived before the war even though it’s kind of crappy it’s PERFECT for them
  • clint and kate and bucky and steve teaming up to fight crime together like o m g
  • cap getting rid of the bros in like 30 seconds every time they show up if clint needs to get this shit done quick so they can fight bigger and better crime clint what did you even do to start this
  • BUCKY BABYSITTING
  • EVERYONE BEING BFFS WITH GRILLS
  • bucky and kate having sass fests and fistbumping when they say something hilarious about their respective bff
  • madame masque kidnapping steve and bucky to get back at kate or something really dumb like that and steve and bucky being like are you even serious rn like OKAY THEN
  • ‘hawkeye’ ‘hawkeye’ ‘captain america’ ‘captain america’ IF YOU WANTED TO GO THAT FAR JUST SAYING
  • STEVE AND BUCKY FEEDING PIZZA TO PIZZA DOG
  • clint secretly fanboying every single day about cap living like two floors down to kate and kate just rolling her eyes like CLINT I KNOW I SAW STEVE DOING HIS LAUNDRY IN THE BASEMENT THIS MORNING AND EVERYTHING and clint being like oh yeah right…so does he actually only wear red white and blue underwear i have a bet going and kate just puts her head on the table and thinks how did i even

WHY IS THIS NOT A COMMON THING???

  • bucky and steve start saying ‘this looks bad’ before beating people up. the other avengers give them weird looks. clint smirks.
  • bucky getting pissed when kate eventually kicks his ass at archery (but just archery. he’s still better at shooting a gun. goddammit.)
  • literally kate bishop and mcu!bucky barnes please just think about it for a moment
  • MOVIE NIGHTS
  • LITERALLY THEM JUST HANGING OUT AND BECOMING BEST BROS AND SOMETIMES LETTING SAM AND NATASHA
  • AND BEING 100% DOMESTIC
  • IN BUT THEN TONY DROPS BY UNANNOUNCED ONE DAY AND SEES THE FOUR OF THEM SQUISHED TOGETHER ON THE COUCH PLAYING PORTAL OR WATCHING BLADE RUNNER (‘STEVE IT IS MY FAVORITE HOW HAVE YOU NOT SEEN IT YET IT IS PERFECT’) OR WHATEVER
  • AND TONY IS JUST LIKE ‘WH. WHAT. NO. NO YOU CANNOT LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS. YOU ARE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THIS.’ SO HE PULLS OUT HIS PHONE TO GET EVIDENCE IF HE NEEDS TO BLACKMAIL ANY OF THEM MATER
  • AND THEN HE JUST SORT OF LAYS ON TOP OF THEM WITHOUT ANOTHER WORD
  • AND THE FOUR OF THEM JUST LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND SHRUG AND KEEP DOING WHATEVER IT IS THEY’RE DOING AND WAIT FOR PEPPER TO COME COLLECT HIM

HAWKEYE HAWKEYE CAPTAIN AMERICA CAPTAIN AMERICA!

– “crappy but perfect for them” YES EXACTLY.   I mean I love “Everyone lives in Avengers Tower and it’s domestic and adorable” but Steve and Bucky need the correct mix of “kinda crappy, but good” and a neighborhood with an actual community.

– Bucky is not only *A* babysitter, he is SImone’s kids’ FAVORITE babysitter and actually volunteers to watch the kids so Simone can take some time for herself.  (I mean MCU Bucky is just a natural caretaker type – look at pre-serum Steve.  I think either Bucky would be really good with kids.)

– I think in a very real way – kids of the Depression and all that – Steve and Bucky would GET Clint in a lot of ways.  Like the bit about “you have to take care of your stuff”. (Crap, where’s my copy.  Christmas issue.  You know the part I mean, right?)  Which is why they watched Blade Runner on laser disc despite Kate’s protests that you know what are things now? DVD and Blu-Ray and just DOWNLOADING THE DAMNED THING.  But it’s YOUR STUFF and you’ve gotta take care of your stuff.  (Side note: I think this is also kind of why I really get Clint Barton in some ways.  My city falls under … “kinda crappy but perfect for me”)

I need this like I’ve never needed anything in my life, including air.

Friend’s request, who wanted so see Clint Barton wearing his hearing aid. I did some research online, asked on Tumblr, checkout the latest issue of Hawkeye but I couldn’t find what his hearing aid looked liked so I went for something visible. Sorry if it’s not 100% accurate.

Hey, copperbadge, you know a lot about Clint Barton. I seem to recall that Clint made the claim at one point that the draw on his bow was, like, 200 pounds or something completely ridiculous like that. Is that true?

I think so. I haven’t read the book personally, at least I don’t think, but according to Wikipedia he had a 250-pound draw on his bow. The citation to go with this was typically, for comics, cryptic:

Gruenwald, Mark; Layton, Bob (1983). Till Death Do Us Part. Hawkeye 1 (4).

That ought to give you a start in looking. I’m no expert but as I understand it, 250lb draw on a bow is rifuckingdiculous. 

A lot has been made of the fact that Clint, especially in the film, has really terrible form, but I think that’s pretty accurate — he learned from a carnie, for god’s sake. Imagine how good he’d be if he’d had proper training. 😀

Wasn’t it a plot point at one comic where some villain picked it up and was like ow ow ow fuck ow i can’t make this thing move ow

Yeah, it was the last bit in the last issue of the first Hawkeye four-part miniseries, the one where he meets Mockingbird. He’s used the sonic arrowhead to break them out of the villain’s deathtrap, and the villain is all like “never mind without your bow you’re still just a guy coz I am so villainous I shall kill you with your own weap-OW OW OW” – I think that’s also the bit wehre he mentions the poundage of the draw.

So I’m no expert (The draw on my bow is a pathetic 25lbs for the moment) but the experts at a panel I attended had a lot to say on the subject of draw strength.  Apparently there were all of these historical references to English archers being able to fire longbows over a mile and the calculated draw strength necessary for that kind of distance was well over 100lbs, so most historians took it with a grain of salt and a health appreciation for the fact that the French had a reputation to uphold and it looked a lot better on them if they got their asses handed to them by guys who were just too damned far away to stick with a spear okay, geez!

It WAS, however, pretty well documented that it was required by law for all Englishmen to spend at least an hour a day practicing with their bow so you’ve got to imagine that there were some pretty epic arms on those dudes.

Well apparently they found a sunken English ship that just so happened to have a bunch of longbows packed into barrels so tightly that they were completely preserved from the salt water.  A bunch of experts restrung a few with period accurate materials and tested the draw strength.  I think the average was 130 something pounds (it’s been a year since I was at the panel) but the highest draw was over 200lbs and when they shot it, the arrow landed over a mile away.  Thus it was proven that the English Longbowmen were badasses with biceps the size of watermelon and the French weren’t exaggerating for effect (This time at least, I can’t vouch for the rest of history.)

Anyway, bottom line is that a 200lb draw is WAY beyond the capabilities of the modern archer but not impossible, and given Clint’s dedication to his art and the fact that he’s been an archer since he was a child (About the age young English boys would start to learn, I imagine) and practiced religiously…  He’d have to make his own bows, or have them specially made, but given his history as a fletcher it is hardly out of the realm of possibility that he would have such a high draw.

… And that is my two cents and half-assed history lesson for the day.

tips on how to realistically write deaf clint barton

hello, fanfiction writers!  i’m making this post because i’ve seen some deaf clint barton stories going around, and there are a lot of misconceptions about hearing loss and hearing aids and all that jazz, so since i’m hard of hearing, i thought i’d bring up a few common misconceptions.

  • clint just reads everyone’s lips and understands exactly what people are saying.  this is basically impossible.  only 30% of spoken english can be lipread.  for me, if i can hear your vowels and read your lips at the same time, i can typically get what you’re saying, but that’s not a guarantee.  clint also wouldn’t be able to pick up lipreading overnight.  that’s an acquired skill.
  • hearing aids!  there are many different types of hearing aids, so make sure you do your research on those.  there are BTE (behind the ear) hearing aids, which are the most common.  then there are the RITE (receiver in the ear), CIC (completely in canal), ITC (in the canal), ITE (in the ear) hearing aids.  even if you’re going to have tony stark whip up some cool state of the art hearing aids for clint, it’s helpful for you to know which style tony would be modeling these after.  keep in mind that some hearing aids don’t have an off switch—the only ways to turn those hearing aids off are to take the batteries out, which you need to do every night while the hearing aids themselves chill in a dehumidifier overnight.
  • american sign language is just like spoken english.  not true.  american sign language is a complex language with its own grammar and syntax.  make sure you research american sign language.  watch videos, read books, learn as much as you can.  you don’t have to learn the language, but familiarize yourself with it.  you also can’t learn ASL overnight, so clint can’t just read a book on it and then be an expert the next day.
  • hearing aids fix everything and make his hearing normal.  hearing aids do NOT fix everything.  they HELP, they do not FIX.  so even if clint wears hearing aids, his hearing will not be 100% perfect.  he’ll still miss pieces of the conversation.  he’ll still have to ask people to repeat themselves.  not all the time, but it’ll still happen.  he won’t magically become hearing because he’s wearing hearing aids.  remember: they’re called hearing AIDS not hearing FIXES.
  • two days later, clint is back to shooting arrows perfectly.  this isn’t true.  when the inner ear suffers severe trauma, it freaks out.  as a result of the traumatic way clint loses his hearing, he would have acute unilateral vestibulopathy.  symptoms of this include: severe dizziness, nausea, blurry vision, everything moving around so his eyes would be darting about trying to make his vision be still, and possibly neck pain.  his balance would be thrown way off whack, and he wouldn’t be able to walk very well after two days, let alone try to shoot a bow and arrow.  typically, these symptoms last anywhere from a few weeks to a month, depending on the type of injury.  but make sure you research this yourself, so you know more specific details!  my really awesome friend gave me the information on this, so shoutout to her!

ok!  i think i covered the most common misconceptions.  if you have any further questions, and you feel comfortable asking me, go ahead!  i am more than happy to answer any questions to the best of my abilities.  i think it’s awesome that marvel is now incorporating a superhero that isn’t fully abled.  it’s about time the rest of us got some representation.  go forth, and write well!

This was really instructive and helpful. Thank you very much for enlightening us! 🙂

research is always good. Thanks for the info

thanks nicole and everyone at welovefine for the extraordinary coordination and hustle

kath-ballantyne and I bought ours of this yesterday! With international shipping, it came to just under $40, which is on the pricey side for one shirt, especially for us, but we really really wanted to own it. Lots of other beautiful Hawkeye themed shirts over there, too.

CLINTASHA AU – After the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., Natasha finds Clint in a small town on the countryside. She soon begins to notice he is much more quiet and somber than his usual self. Something had happened to him while he was gone. 

“Clint, are you alright?”

This really kind of desperately makes me want to reread gyzym’s we were emergencies, the best of all post-Avengers, cabin-in-the-woods Clint/Natasha stories.
