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.

adopting strays started with the dog (or did it start with lucky adopting clint? they probably don’t know either) but the oldest dog deserved his own family photo [clint’s shirt / ref]

replied to your post “Y’all I had the most supremely shitty day – anyone got fluffy…”

Barney and Clint’s signing is superbasic and poorly taught (by a hearing person) ASL augmented with a fuckton of homesign they just made up, so when Clint’s using ASL with a regular deaf person it’s pretty normal, if stiff and antiquated with weird grammar, but his sign with Barney is the sign equivalent of a madeup language like Klingon. They’re the only two speakers of it in the world, which makes for its own subset of weird pun-signs, creative swearing and invention.

OKAY but do you think Nat and/or Bucky learn formal ASL to speak with Clint, or do they pick up his random excited, pun-filled babble he has with Barney?

I think Nat picked up Clint’s unique sign SUPER FAST, after the first few times Clint got wasted with her and started making jokes in sign rather than speech. (*tries to explain joke* “Oh, wait, that doesn’t work in words, let me teach you this in sign so you understand why it’s hilarious.” etc) Clint has absolutely given her a namesign that he is under orders from her never to explain to hearing people.

I think Bucky also picked it up fast, but he mainly uses it to come up with new ways of telling Clint what a dumpster fire and dumbass he is, and also to trash talk when they’re using the range together with ear defenders on (or while in actual combat situations).

(I may have an interest in sign language and have written a Clint/Phil series that heavily deals with Clint’s deafness and deaf identity.)

copperbadge: I do kind of want to write a fic now where Tony is trying to explain stock options to Clint.
copperbadge: “Take me through it one more time.“ "Clint it’s so simple.“ "Your stock is IMAGINARY.” “All stock is imaginary!”
scifigrl47: “WHY ARE YOU PAYING MONEY FOR IMAGINARY THINGS?”
copperbadge: “People pay ME money for imaginary things!“ “You are a con man.“ "I AM A TITAN OF INDUSTRY!”
scifigrl47: “A conman with a COLLEGE DEGREE.”
copperbadge: “Does Pepper know your company is based on a lie?“ "Pepper owns 24% of the lie!"
copperbadge: Meanwhile, Steve is like "THIS! THIS is why half the country was unemployed when I was a child!"

Money is imaginary too, so I guess it evens out

Yeah, but you can’t just dump an idea like “money is also imaginary” on a guy like Clint, that’ll mess him up! You gotta ease into that kind of thing or you’re liable to get yourself a supervillain.

*blinks slowly* We need Supervillain Clint now.

Commie anarchist anti-currency supervillain Clint Barton would be amazing, let’s not lie.

My favourite villain Clint is Life of Crime Clint. He’s not a communist, but everyone still needs to go read its sex-positive, deaf-rep, super-snarky goodness. Go!

‘hey Hawkeye, lookin’ like a lyric out of a less awful 80s song.’

‘katie-kate what does that even mean is this one of those pound sign aesthetic things you kids like.’

‘i know that you know it’s a hashtag–’

‘then you should know that I know that you know I know that, and I am just being irritating, which is fair ‘cause you do it to me all the time.’

’……………yeah ok that’s fair.’
