The best of Tumblr: Avengers

(Other photosets: The best puns of Tumblr, Inappropriate audition songs)

my agent carter headcannon is that the New York SSR’s filing system is a god damn wreck because every time some fathead agent would ask peggy to clean up his filing, she just wouldn’t. she’s go to the filing room, but she’d just hang out for a few minutes and roll her eyes (she might have had a snack hoard hidden in an evidence box but i can’t prove that)

now flash forward to after season 2, peggy’s transfered to Los Angeles, and jack finally figures out what she’s been doing when he’s stuck on desk duty recovering from the gunshot wound. now, he uses the threat of having to reorganize the file room to get whatever he wants in the office. he hasn’t actually forced some poor agent to do it yet, but by god he Will get those files reorganized one day if it kills him. Krzeminski’s biggest surviving legacy in the SSR is how badly he fucked up the filing system.

random things about comics!kate bishop

-the first time she met deadpool she broke a coffee pot over his head and then complimented his freddy kreuger makeup. clint then informed her that was just deadpool's face

-she pretty much forced her way onto the young avengers on a whim after saving them during a bungled rescue mission; this was her start as a superhero

-her stated reason for remaining a superhero is not wanting other people to feel afraid and unsafe the way she does

-she once got into an argument with a wall in front of the other young avengers

-captain america had jessica jones pass hawkeye's codename and bow on to kate after she stood up to him about his attitude towards the young avengers

-she dressed up as hawkeye from m*a*s*h one halloween

-the first time she met clint she hit him with a verbal smackdown that made him entirely rethink his latest life choice

-she thinks bucky's hot

-due to shenanigans she once met a younger clint barton. she said she'd knock him off a cliff if he hit on her; he said it might be worth it

-she instigated clint to help her rescue/kidnap three kids from shield by way of stealing a flying car, also from shield

-she uses finger guns without shame or irony

-she once hid in a tree to avoid a conversation she didn't want to have

-she's led two iterations of the young avengers and one iteration of the west coast avengers

-clint has called her the finest and most gifted bowman he's ever met; he has also thought "look at her, she's perfect"

-she once asked a librarian to help her steal music off the internet; it did not go well for her

using athletes as a pose reference for Spidey is p fun

I understand the appeal of wanting every adult hero to instinctively adopt teenage Peter Parker, but can it really beat the hilarity of acknowledging that at 15 Peter was 5'10", unusually buff, went by a moniker with Man in it, wore a creepy full face mask, and had a tightly guarded secret identity and probably a Queens accent thick enough to have come out of a jello mold, and adult heroes reasonably responded to him by going, “Wow, this grown man is an immature asshole for no reason.”

The government’s solution to Captain America is a giant hamster ball

How did Clint and Caps relationship evolve from the "fuck you old man" mess it was in the early avengers

to understand their original dynamic, we’ll have to go back to clint’s childhood. first, clint’s father abused him, then orphaned him at age 8 by drunkenly crashing a car. strike 1 for father/authority figures.

his next father figure, the swordsman, acts as a mentor teaching him swordsmanship, knife-throwing, how to improve his aim, etc. clint looks up to him and practices hard to be part of the circus’ act, but discovers swordsman is stealing some of the show’s earnings, so swordsman tries to kill clint, breaking both of clint’s legs in the process, and leaves him for dead. strike 2.

older brother barney thinks clint wasted a good opportunity for them to work with the swordsman, so he leaves too. kind of a strike 3.

while clint heals, trickshot trains clint extensively until he thinks clint is finally ready to earn his keep. clint complies to try to make him happy. turns out trickshot was just prepping clint for more criminal activity, and he ends up shooting clint to a tree and leaving. strike 4.

by now, clint’s been abused, abandoned, or both by all of his father figures. he tried acting like a better son, brother, or mentee to please these figures in the hopes that they would act better towards him in return. clint now sees that it did nothing. by now he’s old enough and skilled enough to perform as a main act in the circus circuit, incidentally still being mostly run by criminals, so all authority figures are running together as “not to be trusted” at this point.

when clint joins the avengers, he’s thinking he’ll be part of a bona fide, revered team, as an equal member. instead, he finds out that all the founding members of the avengers are leaving, the other members are barely-reformed young villains (which he also is but that goes over his head), and a recently thawed captain america is being put in charge. as you might expect, he’s not thrilled.

now, everyone clearly sees cap’s put in charge because (1) he’s captain america (2) he’s led platoons (3) everyone else is like 19 and was a villain’s lackey like 1 week ago, and (4) he’s captain america. but clint sees: (1) some dude thinks he’s the boss of me! (2) i don’t need some dude to be the boss of me!! (3) it never goes well when some dude is the boss of me!!! (4) bosses don’t last long anyways, so i should be the boss of me and everyone else!!!!

even though cap demonstrates effective leadership, clint’s just waiting for the other shoe to drop. he trains with cap begrudgingly, because his last trainers had ulterior motives. with every instruction from cap, clint lets any possible objection he could have be known. if he can’t think of one, then he’ll just insult cap for being old. he completely resents cap’s authority over him.

but the other shoe never does drop. steve, being recently thawed and going through his own issues, left the team for a short period. clint thinks “a-ha! i knew he would abandon us!” but cap quickly returns. and unlike his other father figures, cap repeatedly shows genuine support, belief in clint, and concern for his well-being. as cap’s actions prove time and time again that he’s different, clint starts to warm to him; but still throws some insults to show that he’s ready to disobey an order at any moment. the insults become more half-hearted.

by the time hank pym comes back to the team, clint was regularly training with cap– and actually enjoying himself.

naturally, his defense mechanisms mean he’s still a little combative…

but over time, clint’s jeering shifts to friendly teasing. he always lets his objections be known and still argues often, but for things he has actual reasons for and no longer just because. soon enough, clint practically idolizes cap. everyone knows this because it’s completely transparent.

and so, cap will always have a soft spot for clint 

and clint will always call him old. and they will insult each other, forever

Please appreciate my first real fanvideo for the Leveage OT3 set to Flaws by Bastille! I'm pretty proud of it and my Leverage Secret Santa giftee (@nickelkeep) seemed to think it was pretty swell!
