Clint: I also need to tell you something

Nat: Please be gay

Clint: What???

Nat: Whenever people need to tell me something they’re either suicidal, severely sick or injured, or gay

Clint: …No, that’s when YOU need to tell someone something

Nat: …oh.

Clint: …Wait. I know you’re bisexual, and we’re past your suicidal era… where’s the gunshot wound.

Nat: …It’s a stab wound

Clint: Where is it

Nat: *slowly lifts up shirt*

Clint: Hospital.

Nat: but-

I’m here to make the argument that Clint Barton isn’t dumb blonde who can’t tell you 2+2 or some cool intelligent agent. He’s what I would consider ditsy.

He plays up the dumb blonde act to make sure people underestimate him,even people he’s close with. But most of it is an act. He most likely knows a good amount of physics and math so he can figure out trajectory. He’s a high ranking spy in Shield and a former assassin. He knows how to put on a act,and the circus background helps with playing the role of a goof ball.HOWEVER,not all of it is an act. He’s walked into several walls on accident. Once spelt his own name wrong, and left his hearing aids in the fridge.

he’s not totally smart but he’s not stupid thus why I consider him ditsy.

I feel like people only choose either dumb blonde or super cool spy when writing him. And it makes me kinda sad cause he’s a very complicated and diverse character.
