Let’s have a quick talk about Clint Barton. This little shit is an orphan who grew up in the circus and somehow managed to become an avenger. This DEAF motherfucking ARCHER was asked by Tony Stark to be Captain America and he said no. He said NO to becoming Captain America. He finds out some random 20 y/o girl becomes Hawkeye while hes “dead” and what does he do? He tells her the world is big enough for TWO HAWKEYES and they form a team and he tries act as a mentor. They are both Hawkeye. Not Hawkeye and lady-Hawkeye. Just two Hawkeyes. He fights street crime when he’s not on missions. He’s friends with his neighbors. He made an ultron costume for Halloween. When his brother stole all his money and bought an island, he got over it. He rescued and adopted a one eyed dog named lucky/pizza dog. Did I mention he’s deaf? And can’t hear without hearing aids. And he wears his own merchandise. He wears Hawkeye underwear. Hawkeye wears Hawkeye underwear.
Squirrel Girl texts with Bucky in Squirrel Meets World by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale
I have just started reading this and the first friend Doreen makes after Tippy-Toe is a Deaf girl at her new school! Doreen tries talking to her in the cafeteria, and the girl shuts her down, saying she can’t understand her over the din. (Hearing aids suck in loud environments, yo.) So, rather than being deterred, Doreen goes home and brushes up HARD on the ASL that she learnt from her Deaf cousin, and tries again the next day. After being startled at Doreen knowing sign, she tentatively accepts her friendship.
