maybe they’re all in prison

Is it reading waaaay too deeply into this that I find this really moving? I mean, yes, maybe all the people Clint looked up to over the years are in prison, but I like the idea that the reason Clint fights as hard as he does to be as good as he is is because he knows that some day, some kid is going to latch onto him. This kid isn’t going to have super powers, or money, or privilege or enhancements. They’re going to be a kid from the wrong side of the tracks who never got any of the breaks. That kid is going to look at the Avengers, and see Clint, and think to themselves, “Maybe, just maybe…” and dare to aim a little higher, and CLINT knows that, and that’s one of the reasons he never gives up and can never miss, because for all that he doesn’t value himself, he values that kid and knows how important he is to that kid.

Wee, this is my 10,000th tumblr post! o/ Naturally, I wish to celebrate with Clint/Coulson feels, so I made this.

Clint/Coulson AU – when SHIELD falls, Clint Barton barely makes it out alive, suffering retrograde amnesia in the process. Phil Coulson and his team find Clint, and attempt to teach him about the man he is, by showing him the man he used to be. However, in a misguided bid to spare Clint unnecessary pain and provide him with a fresh start, Phil decides to leave out a few details about their relationship…

Oh my god are you kidding me? This is gorgeous! Love it! Particularly Clint’s dream/memory and then Phil’s “we were”. Damn I love gif fic. *____*

So I’m rewatching Avengers tonight, and—especially in light of Cap 2—I was really struck by the moment on the helicarrier when Steve comes looking for Natasha and sees Clint out of restraints post-brainwashing. Steve is about to head into a war zone, this guy was Loki’s right hand ten minutes ago, and Steve’s reaction is:

a) to look to Natasha for her judgment on whether Clint can be trusted, and

b) when she gives him merely a nod, to immediately accept and trust her assessment and go into war with Clint not only at his back but flying the damn jet.

Just in case we were wondering exactly when Steve started trusting Natasha with his life.

Seriously though, like…

Try to imagine literally any other SHIELD agent convincing Bruce to come in, with just the right balance of truth.

Try to imagine Steve trusting Clint without her go-ahead.

Hell, try to imagine them being able to stop Clint AND clear out the brainwashing in a manner that didn’t kill or long-term incapacitate him.

Try to imagine the chaos of NOBODY ELSE in their much less-cohesive (and less powerful) group being able to go up to prod at the device keeping the portal open, given that they were all doing serious damage control.

Without Natasha, the Avengers don’t exist and the battle of New York is lost.

She is literally the lynchpin of the plot – without her, NONE of it works.

Now who’s fucking eye candy?

And if you think she’s just eye candy, you’re obviously HYDRA.

Yeah, Ward, I’m talking to you.

To successfully make a shot, you gotta follow and master basic steps. Your stance is the foundation. Where you draw your strength. Nock the arrow and grip. Realize you are wielding a weapon. Mindset. Focus solely on your goal, regardless of your surroundings. Be in the now. Set up and draw. Inhale and prepare for what you are about to do. Anchor and hold. There is no going back. Aim. All that remains is you and your target. Release and follow through. Master those and you hit every time. One last step. Feedback. Basically… take responsibility for the outcome. For every shot.
