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!

ruffboijuliaburnsides:

do you ever see someone say something negative about a ship or character or fandom and just….

desperately want to write fic/draw art/etc of it out of spite?

(and then you don’t bc you don’t care *that* much, but it just NAGS AT YOU.)

And that’s the wonderful story of why we have a small subset of AMAZING Clint Barton/Carol Danvers fic.

Life of Crime by neveralarch is a FANTASTIC AU where Clint is on the villain side of things. It’s disability positive, sex positive, kink positive, and funny as hell. But Carol Corps haters LOATHE it, because Clint is not good enough for their girl. Never mind that it’s awesome.

And then there’s Captain Marvelous, which copperbadge wrote a sequel to because people whined that the original was NOT ON.
