This is what I think would have happened after the end of Clint Barton Should Not Be a Child Right Now
Aw, Phil, you’re usually quicker on the uptake than this. 8)

“BARNES! ROGERS!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD”!
A big Steve/Bucky artwork that required a looot of work (I stopped counting after 40 hours to be honest). I know, I know, canon wise it doesn’t make any sense. Let’s just say that it’s the big second Chitauri attack of 2014 (it totally happened…*cough*)
Bonus: Bucky’s Instagram.

What do you think it is about Hawkeye that’s so compelling as a character?
I wonder if he reads Hawkguy.
I hope he says things like “Aww, coffee, no,” in the privacy of his own home even if Joss won’t let him say it on camera.
If he does, I will love him approximately 300% more.
Clint & Natasha in #15 for hannahwelker
You could draw Kate and Clint trying to sign at each other and then settling for just flipping each other off.And this sort of behavior, this right here, is why I fucking love this bar.
I’m imagining Clint asking for coffee by holding up a mug hopefully, and Kate communicating ‘Fuck your coffee’ by pointing at the coffee jug with her middle finger.
On a related note, home sign is really interesting and I think it’s neat that people from culturally similar backgrounds cobble together the same basic gestures and mimes to be able to have basic communication.
On a different but also related note, Australian sign language has a sign for ‘fuck youse, fuck all of youse’ (though I don’t know if it’s officially part of Aus sign language or if maybe it’s a home sign that’s recognised by Australians? Which I guess takes us back to HOME SIGN, INTERESTING RIGHT?).
I’m pretty sure everyone knows how to sign “Damn it Clint!”
They just all do it a little differently. (Cap just looks disappointed, but he actually learns ASL so he can communicate WHY he is disappointed.)
For those who need to see the Auslan for ‘Fuck you, fuck the lot of youse’, enjoy:

For months, I have been occasionally putting nickels on this thing. No one has noticed or moved them. Yet.
why deaf clint barton is important
ok, all you boys and girls who read comics, listen up.
if you read matt fraction’s hawkeye comics, you know that clint barton has been stabbed in the ears with arrows, and as a result, is now deaf. furthermore, if you read the comics, you know that today was the release of the asl issue.
in case you don’t know me, i’m hard of hearing. i grew up hearing, and my hearing wound up getting fucked up the older i got. now i’m 20 years old and wear hearing aids. my signing isn’t as good as it could be since i’m surrounded by hearing people who won’t learn asl to communicate with me, but i use it as often as i can.
when i read the asl issue, i found a superhero that i could actually relate to, an actual, real, human being, flawed superhero that d/Deaf/hoh people can relate to and understand, particularly those people who have lost their hearing as they’ve gotten older the way i have. this asl issue speaks more than anyone can understand.
admittedly, the issue didn’t quite use proper signs all the time, and the grammatical structure was more english than asl (asl has a very different grammar syntax), but for now, it was enough. it was representation. it was a step forward. (and why was clint talking on the phone if he’s deaf? honey, if you deaf, you deaf. i’m hard of hearing, and i can’t hear shit on the phone. like, i get he was letting jess know that it was him talking, but son, you are deaf and cannot hear her response. but that’s ok, it’s just details.)
so marvel, you don’t know how much your asl issue meant to me, but i’d like to thank you, matt fraction, and everyone else involved with this from the bottom of my heart. thank you for giving representation to a group of people who don’t really get very much representation at all. thank you for for showing me a superhero who gets it.
deaf clint barton is important.
disabled superheroes are important.
disabled superheroes getting back on their feet when their disability makes things rough for them is important.
disabled superheroes trying to figure out how they fit into the abled world around them is important.
deaf clint barton is important.
This. All of this.
They are the rare and amazing people who remind you why it’s worth it.
Hawkeye 19 link and ASL translation!
One upon a time, I had a deaf friend that I learned basic ASL to be able to communicate with. Hawkeye 19 is right up my ally, so I figured I’d post this for people that want to know what’s being said in this issue.
Here’s a download link to the comic via my Dropbox.
PLEASE READ THE ISSUE WITHOUT THE TRANSLATION FIRST! Matt Fraction stated that he wanted readers to feel the sense of confusion and loss along with Clint, so read it as it is first, then go back with the translation. ASL translation is under the cut.
