Reminiscing on Clint and Vents ™️

To my knowledge the entire Clint in vents trope in domestic Avengers fics is not founded in any canon reason or instance (I believe our first introduction to Clint even ever being INSIDE a vent is from the Black Widow movie when Nat and Yelena are in that vent in Budapest) which isn’t to say that it’s a bad thing (headcannons are quite literally the bread and butter of fandom culture, but I think when taken meta textually this trope highlights a glaring problem with Clint Barton and Hawkeyes introduction and characterization throughout the MCU.

Which is to say his introduction and characterization was so botched by the hands of Marvel and their inability to juggle a multi-character story without picking favorites (probably corporate meddling to increase merchandise sales) that we literally had nothing to go on as far as his character at the end of Avengers. Zilch. Nothing. Nada. We had Nat and the scorching chemistry between Scarjo and Jeremy but that was it! And because of that we resorted to hand waving that the guy just climbed in vents because he like Obi-Wan likes the high ground. Like—

Think about it. We all already had a pop culture knowledge and in some instance entire movies about Thor, Tony Stark, Hulk (the old version), and Captain America. And even in those movies we had knowledge and an on screen portrayal of: Black Widow, Loki, fuck even Bucky. And yeah sure Hawkeye had a cameo in Thor but did we really get anything about his character on the same level that we got of Black Widow, Loki and Bucky that they got in their respective supporting roles? No. We got his smart mouth and Jeremy’s perfect acting.

And then the Avengers, where he’s brainwashed 98% of the movie?

Yeah it’s no fricken wonder the whole Clint in Vents trope was a thing in domestic Avengers fics—

We.

Literally.

Had.

Crumbs!

This isn’t a bashing of the trope of course but merely an opportunity to highlight just how butchered Hawkeyes introduction was and how Marvel utterly dropped the ball with such a wonderful character.

(And Jeremy Renner deserved better)

Anyway read more Clint Barton centered fics. They are great.

And for the love of god let that man out of the vents!

"Netflix cancels show because of capitalism" is true but they aren't even succeeding at capitalism. Pretty much all streaming services are hemorrhaging money right now. In their desperate attempts to win at capitalism, they are failing at capitalism. They are killing art for the sake of a pretend profit they never receive. Pathetic.

we call this "shooting the goose that lays the golden egg"

Lately a lot of companies are destroying themselves because they've taken to predatory or just plain horrible business practices in a n effort to keep profit running up and up and up forever. Which is impossible.

See if I have a business that makes chairs, and my goal is to make a nice living making really GOOD chairs, and selling them to people, to make money, then that's my business's purpose. if I stop making good chairs I am useless as a business owner and my business is failed.

If I have a business to make money, and I do it by selling chairs, then then quality of those chairs doesn't matter because this isn't a chair making business, this is a Profit making business selling anything but right now it's selling chairlike objects and if we're not making perpetual profit, that's when I find tax loopholes, offshore accounts, do some wage theft and eventually declare bankruptcy and run off with the profits and do it again. Because I am not in the business of making chairs, I am solely making money for myself. In otherwords, a con artist and professional thief really.

In the second example I'm not looking for a thing I can do or that needs doing and which I can use to make a Living,

I am looking for ever-exponentially increasing profit and NO amount will ever be Enough.

Providing goods and services To Make Money Enough for life and some luxuries.

is not the same as Making Money by whatever means To Make Money Forever Without Limit.

Summary: Nathaniel and Clint build a marble run. (3k)

.

Nate yawns.

The Saturday morning makes him grin as he sits up in bed and pads out of his room to find his parents.

Saturday sounds already in the kitchen, and he finds his mum and siblings already awake and eating.

“Hey sleepy,” his mum greets him with a kiss on the forehead.

He smiles at her and sits at the table, watching his sister draw arrows and people, Nate steals a pencil to help her.

“Nate, no!” she groans as he starts to colour in.

“Hey buddy, come sit over here,” his mum guides, and he frowns, wanting to draw.

He moves down the bench seat, and twirls the pencil, the green colour moulding as it spins.

He does it again, before it flies out of his hand and hits Lila.

“Nate!” she exclaims, exasperated.

His mum looks at him, with the look she gets when he’s not quite in trouble, but on his way there.

He frowns.

“Come grab some pancakes.”

He’s guided to the bench again, and he picks up two, opting for chocolate syrup and sugar.

He gets strawberries thrown on his plate and he goes back to sit down, away from Lila who still seems annoyed at him.

He didn’t mean to.

He wanted to help.

“Where’s dad?”

“Soccer with Cooper,” Lila answers, “they’ll be back soon, cause mum needs to take us to Max’s birthday party and then she’s going to get —“

Nate’s stomach curls in jealousy.

“I want to come,” he says, his mum wondering over.

“Oh honey, it’s Max’s birthday, it’s for Lila and Cooper.”

He stands, pushing out his chair and pushing away his breakfast.

“Why can’t I go with you?”

“Because you weren’t invited,” Lila says, standing up, her voice loud.

“That’s not fair, I can go too, I know Max,” he argues.

“But you weren’t invited,” Lila argues back.

Nate crosses his arms.

His mum seems to see it coming, he bangs his fist on the table and tries to step forward to Lila. He’s done nothing right since he woke up, it doesn’t matter, he feels like he’s in trouble anyway.

He reaches out to push Lila, only to be stopped.

“Nate, stop.”

The boundary is clear and he pulls himself back.

“I didn’t even want to go,” he says, sticking his tongue out to stop tears as he runs away.

Hilda by Duane Bryers

just-fic-me-up

More Hilda!!

themockingcrows

in this family we love and support Hilda.

i-am-the-narwhal

Yes! Hilda!

luidilovins

What i love about this artist’s depictions of women is even the sexualized ones the woman is always genuinely happy and enjoying herself. Frolicking or making funny faces, she’s living her life and looking sexy while doing it, not sitting in a sexual pose for the audience’s view.

I always forget about Hilda and am so pleased when she randomly shows up on my dash. Always makes my day

snailfarts

I love Hilda so much and I want her to be happy

numinous-queer

My favorite thing is how Hilda is almost always DOING something. She’s out there living her life. She’s not posing coyly for anyone, she’s having her own adventures and it’s not about the viewer at all

Every single fic update there is an author trying frantically to find the right balance between a nonchalant aside of "leave a comment if you enjoyed =)" and clinging desperately to the coat tails of a random stranger, dragging along behind them on the street wailing "Please, please! I have to know what you thought! I'm desperate to talk to people about this! Ask me about the alliterative repetition! Ask me about the symbolism!"

Pretty sure not one person caught my Stan Lee reference in Chapter 17

*sniffs* it’s fine!

Not like I thought I was clever or anything!

“My story has so much gay rep in it!” Awesome. How are you treating your female characters btw

kingdeath000

This post blowing up has taught me that a lot of you think that “how are you treating the character” is asking about how they’re treated within the story, not how you, the author, is writing them. I don’t care if your female characters are goddesses or superheroes, do they talk like actual people and not a cardboard cutout with tits stapled on

“…a cardboard cutout with tits stapled on.”
