I thought that was the function of the Clinton. He is the epicenter of the explosion of ships that is this fandom. He’s like….the eye of the hurricane. Or something.
i think you mean
the HAWKeye
of the hurricane
~ba-dum-tsh~
he is with coulson because that means coulson is alive and shortcut verse is my happy place so coulson being alive is all i want so i’ve decided this and i’m sticking to it only if its in my head. /run-on-crying
dude, as far as i am concerned coulson is alive whichever way you slice it. what, i ask you, is the point of having a no-one-is-ever-dead-c’mon-now-this-is-marvel card if you can’t play it every once in awhile?
iambickilometer replied to your post: Out of curiosity, do you have headcanon about who…
he should be with me is what
do you know what, if clint barton wandered into this reality, looked out at the swooning crowds, and said ‘JAMES, I CHOOSE YOU, BE WITH ME ALWAYS’ i would not even be jealous, just pleased for your acquisition of a hawkeye
so i must like you an awful lot, dude, i am just saying
seekanewerworld asked: Out of curiosity, do you have headcanon about who Clint is with in RFA/Shortcut 'verse? Coulson, Darcy, Bruce? (BTW, I love your Tony meta to pieces but that is not the point of this ask!)
I CAN NEVER DECIDE, WHICH IS WHY I HAVE NEVER STATED IT CLEARLY. I CAN SEE HIM WITH ALL THREE OF THEM. AND ALSO WITH THOR. AND ALSO WITH AN OC. AND ALSO SINGLE.
augh honestly i ship that man with everybody including himself, it’s such a problem
as in, META ABOUT META. yes i know that’s not really how inception works—believe me, i really know that—but i don’t care. it’s catchy! and there’s also the fact that that’s what inception has come to mean, in current cultural vernacular: people took the concept the movie is structured around (to wit, dreams within dreams) and made its title into a word meaning “a thing within itself/a thing about itself/etc.” which, as set-ups for posts about media go, is pretty solid, so, without further ado….
dear everybody who has ever felt it necessary to inform me that i am reading too much into [whatever piece of media] in writing meta about it:
first of all, congratulations, you are spot-fucking-on. i am definitely, for sure, no doubt about it, 100% reading far too much into it, every single goddamn time. this is not sarcasm, i very much mean this—in fact, all of my fanon meta is grounded firmly in reading too much into the canon in question. maybe it’s because i threw caution to the winds and went to school to study english literature and creative writing instead of leaning a more marketable trade; it does get hard to break that habit. however, mostly i’m pretty certain i read too much into shit because:
Our sleep-deprived (or is it depraved?) society is near hysteria. There appears to be a doomsday mentality amongst the many, when it used to be amongst the few. We’ve become a nation of zombies riveted to ugly news. What used to pepper the papers of the tabloids has become mainstream drama in our few remaining dailies.
Take the somnolent state of Florida, where high-profile murders continue to titillate the nation in a state governed by a creature created by an unorthodox scientific experiment — modern-day Republicanism. That creature? Governor Rick Scott who, by the devil and the deep blue sea bears an uncommon resemblance to the product of that experiment, Frankenstein’s Monster.
Filed under: legitimate news source & radio host a) runs with the zombies thing b) acknowledges Rick Scott’s incredibly high creep factor, c) uses horror tropes to mock modern Republicanism and d) KNOWS TUMBLR EXISTS?? All in one article?? Fuck yeah, Halli Casser-Jayne. This is awesome.

jamesbonds asked: So I'm not really sure if I actually want to know the answer to this but here's my question anyway; does Civil War exist in the shortcut 'verse?
NOPE. The Shortcut ‘verse is entirely AU from all the things (including the movie canon, since I wrote most of it before Avengers came out) and written without grammar, capitalization, basic structure, or angst I can’t wrap up neatly before bedtime. Thus, no one is tragic or ridiculous or tragically ridiculous! At least, not in the context of that storyline, anyway :D
(Also, everybody hates Reed Richards as much as I do in that ‘verse, which turns out to be a helpful Civil War deterrent. Who knew, right?)
