‘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.’
SOMETIMES I am just like, look. Kate has literally never met the Clint that Clint is when he isn’t depressed and self-destructive. That guy wore head to toe purple, occasionally a miniskirt, lived to sass the fuck out of Captain America, only needs about six hours of sleep and if he isn’t talking, he’s singing. He’s fun. He would take mirror selfies and say hell yes to matching tattoos,
IT WOULD BE AWESOME
Clint’s been dead, he’s been a murderous spider, this probably wouldn’t even make the top five on his ‘oh Fuck no’ list. Mostly I think he’d just be super totally 100% over it.
Happy Halloween, bros. 😀
True story: @intosnarkness has this on a t-shirt, which she wore when we me Matt Fraction. Yes, we, I was standing right there like “… Hi.” and snarkness says, ‘She drew my shirt.’ (she is, inherently, a shit-disturber. I love that about her.)
but then! Matt Fraction – who is a perfect human being, I would saddle my horse and follow him into battle – says, “oh! That is a story! Like.. Clint and Kate get sucked into a fairytale dimension or something, and Clint is a centaur and Kate is a pixie, NO–”
(he’s not even making eye contact anymore, he’s got to be seeing it in his head)
“–Kate is a HARPY, and she’s like DON’T. EVEN. START.”

Clint Barton doesn’t show up 15 minutes late with Starbucks. Clint Barton shows up an hour late with cheap pizza, a broken nose, and a stray dog.
– moodyrebelmage [x]
of course there is an explanation for the dog:
I was around the corner from the gift shop where I got the balloon
(this was the only ‘love’ one they had left, and it’s either clever or hopeless, I kinda futzing love it, I relate to this balloon)
and these kids were harassin’ this dog, so I said ‘hey leave the dog alone, c’mon, not cool.’
so then they’re like ‘hey mister we’ll sell him to you.’
- not gonna lie I admire that kind of moxie
- they wanted twenty futzing bucks
- I gave them a dollar it is seriously all the cash I had
dented pizza is still delicious, he’s laughing and blaming his afternoon on wearing a shirt with buttons (‘I have never ever had a day go right when I wore a shirt with buttons’)
ladies and gentlemen the ever-unchanging clint barton
clint barton + the circushow badly I want Clint,
wearing spangly purple,
and shooting arrows while standing on the back of a galloping horse. (A white horse, very dramatically white, if you know anything about white horses then you know this means the horse is old, older perhaps than Clint). It’s the circus, so naturally at some point or other the horse is nonchalantly jumping over fire.
Greasepaint to cover the bruises (learn easy, learn hard, as long as you learn)
The horse is hungry,
Clint is hungrier, (the animals eat first, it is ever thus)
the show must go on.
Seventeen years old and two hundred and thirty-two miles from Waverly, Iowa (it’s the farthest he’s ever been from the place he was born, although he doesn’t know that)
white horse (twenty years old, born in Texas, has travelled farther than the archer standing on her back has ever dreamed, Clint has never seen the ocean, the old circus mare has),
fire (eternal),
arrows (stick and string from the paleolithic era)

full-size version of this bit of silliness, in which shirtless Clint is requested and I theorize that he is 100% the kind of person who h a t e s being cold. and also you woke him up. no love!
—if that’s your thing.
i’ve always thought the sentiment is nice, so …yeah. your dog eats too damned much.
oh IS that MY dog? your name was on the quiver, my name was on the dog, but you took both, I got confused—
shush. it was for the best.
don’t you shush me—

A self-reblog because HERE IT IS CHRISTMAS AGAIN AND KATE IS NOT HOME YET AND I AM STILL SAD ABOUT IT.
Once again I disguised Kate Bishop fanart as fine art and put it in a serious art event. People asked me what it meant – ‘Oh, you know, arrows,’ I said. ‘It’s a metaphor. Could have just as easily put an apple in her hand and it woulda been a different metaphor, but I rather liked arrows.’
Not even one person said ‘That is Hawkeye and you are being Miss Smarty-Artist Ass right now’ but I would have been delighted if they had.
This is acrylic on paper on panel, if you’re curious. It’s 24” x 24” (60x60cm) – the blue is iridescent pigment and it covers the arrows as well, but I couldn’t get it to photograph any more than this.
