Avengers: Age of Ultron wrote Natasha Romanoff so badly that it was hilarious, and also gave her barely any screen time. But I'm tired of people saying that she was written badly because one of her most painful memories was being sterilized, or the fact that she considered herself to be a monster because she couldn't give birth. She isn't less of a strong female character because she wanted the capacity to bear children. If you think a woman's desire to bear children, or to want the capacity to bear children is somehow non-feminist, you should take a nice nap and think about why you would think that way. Natasha had her autonomy taken from her. She was in a line of work that took advantage of the fact that she was a woman. She was told she was nothing but a whore and a weapon. She was never nurtured, and was never given the chance or the option to nurture someone else, whether it was a child or a love interest. Natasha considering herself to be a monster because she was altered in a permanent way is harmful, but not abnormal or an insignificant characterization.
i feel like will graham would be the average ao3 author. the kind to leave the work for two years and then come back like oh yeah:) sorry about that:) i had a bit of an episode and got stabbed in the gut by my therapist:) but now i'm back :) (they fuck in this one by the way, sorry for the wait)
i am not saying female characters cannot be homophobic, and neither am I saying all fics are like this. But if you just target female characters for the purpose of fighting homophobia you're either being lazy or misogynist. Gay people are literally being shunned around the world by religious bigots, toxic masculinity, the law system and politicians but the only cause of homophobia you could come up with is.... women. nice.
i know you guys are going to kill me for this but,,, When people write gay fiction on heteronormative shows e.g Sherlock, the female love interest is villainized or dumbed down. You try to show that homophobia and queerbaiting is bad but you just end up decimating female characters on the basis that they're 'coming in between the main ship' . Why. Aren't there other ways to fight homophobia other than just being wildly inaccurate or just plain mean about female characters? I can see this crap with Sharon Carter and Molly Hooper on this site.
Madds Mikkelsen literally just makes puppy faces throughout the entire show and makes it look like he's gonna kill someone
If Natasha were a fangirl, she'd have called Clint's eyes Cerulean-blue orbs.
But she's not a fangirl. She's a spy. So what she sees is fear. And insomnia. And a need for coffee.
So in the coffee goes, black and strong, with a little bit of sugar, and maybe a hint of cinnamon. Into the cup that says, Surely Not Everybody was Kung-fu Fighting?
Well, everybody usually is. But not now.
The cup slides across the table, and Clint's eyes ask, Why?
Because. She can see him wanting to tear his eyes out. She can see him looking for Loki in himself.
Clint takes a nice, long sip, and smiles.
It doesn't reach his eyes anymore.
