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!

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.

Attitudes – Communication
Communication is not only speaking, typing, texting or signing. Communication is also being able to listen and understand, being accommodated to make interaction possible.
some of y’all wanted to see the progression of bucky and steve’s relationship throughout the years in the WSGJ AUniverse, so!
edit: the other post was low-res! ;;
A high school hipster Steve from that dumb AU. This one was supposed to be a part of a series, but it looked waaaay better on its own.
Concept stuff for that CA:TWS college AU I’ve been slowly chipping away at! Steve’s the honorary captain of his baseball team, and Bucky is… well, I haven’t decided yet.
(Steve’s also the captain of his ultimate frisbee team, but not a lot of people pay attention to that.)
Petition to put Hawkeye’s disability and use of a hearing aid in Marvel Cinematic Universe please and thank-you

I really appreciated all the little nods to Clint’s deafness in this issue. I’m glad other writers are acknowledging it and it’s not just a temporary thing in Fraction’s run. I also enjoy the fact that Wade apparently knows sign language.
LOOK AT CLINT LOOK AT HIS EARS OMFG NOT ONLY DID THEY ACKNOWLEDGE HIS DEAFNESS BUT THEY DREW HIS HEARING AIDS imma die of happy
Ahahaha, and now the purple hearing aids I gave Clint in Signs and Souls are totally canon, full marks, me.
Michael Anthony Spady was born in New Rochelle, New York and began acting at the age of nine. Best known for his outstanding performance in the film The Hammer, opposite Russell Harvard and Shoshannah Stern, Spady is one of Hollywood’s most talented, motivated, determined and notable young Deaf actors working in film and television today.
Mike acted in my directorial debut, “Sympathy For Delicious”. I found him at The Stella Adler Academy in Los Angeles where he was a student at the time. He gave a beautiful performance in my movie and I found myself wanting to shoot more and more of him as I expanded each of his scenes.
I am really happy to see him making his way up in a very tough and competitive world. He is an inspiration to anyone that comes in contact with him. Not only is he a gifted actor but he also happens to be deaf. Check it out.
