PROMPTS FROM HERCULES *  assorted dialogue from the 1997 film, adjust as necessary

what... are... those?

a true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the size of his heart.

i thought they looked kinda dashing.

you know how men are. they think no means yes and get lost means take me, i'm yours.

aren't you a damsel in distress?

i need your help.

i can handle this. have a nice day.

all i know is, you're the most amazing person with weak ankles i've ever met.

when i'm with you, i don't feel so... alone.

sometimes it's better to be alone. nobody can hurt you.

he's not gonna be happy when he gets outta there.

you know, when i was a kid, i would have given anything to be exactly like everybody else.

you're not like that.

if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.

how do you know what i'm like?

fine work, my boy!

you've done it! you're a true hero.

you were willing to give your life to rescue this young woman.

look, it wasn't my fault.

why does that name ring a bell?

you finally made it.

you know, a little dark, a little gloomy. and, as always, hey, full of dead people. what are you gonna do?

my friends call me [name]. at least, they would if i had any friends.

[name], why did you... you didn't have to...

people do crazy things when they're in love.

will you forget the head-slicing thing?

don't be such a stiff.

join the celebration!

can't. love to, but can't.

i'm a big tough girl. i tie my own sandals and everything.

i'm sorry. you mind running that by me again?

read my lips. forget it.

of course he's real.

i'm afraid being famous isn't the same as being a true hero.

look inside your heart.

looks like your game's over.

don't even go there.

i've done my part.

i need somebody who can handle him as a man.

look, i learned my lesson, okay?

is there a downside to this?

thanks for everything. it's been a real slice.

lighten up, dude.

we'll take it from here, darling.

you can't do this to me, you can't...

dreams are for rookies.

a guy can only take so much disappointment.

are you always this articulate?

you ought to slow down.

how sentimental.

pardon me. it seems to me that what you folks need is a hero.

how do you kill a god?

i don't care. i'm not going to help you hurt him.

this one is different.

the point is, i love her.

we were so close.

it was tragic. we lost everything in the fire.

you might feel just a little queasy. it's kinda natural.

it looks better that way.

he won't listen to me.

i know what i did was wrong, but this isn't about me. it's about him. if you don't help him now, he'll die.

use your head!

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎first instinct after a bad day ? two paths : pass out on the floor ( for back support, obviously ) or call nat. sometimes it's both, usually it's just the first option.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the smart choice, however, is always calling nat. if she answers. and if she's in town, maybe he wouldn't be stuck stitching a wound he could barely see in the mirror.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎picking the right number proved trickier, but hearing the click of the call going through was relief enough. “ hey, nat. s'me, just wanted to check in on ya. ”

actually i rlly wanna talk abt clint's sexuality a sec -- which also involves talking abt his canonical relationships and one of those is uh - it's clearly marked u can skip over the dv mentions there

the hawkeye timeline of failed relationships(tm)

shoutout to nat for being the best one. no notes, she's wonderful and 100% still his work wife

also shoutout to bobbi for marrying him. i have a lotta feelings abt them dude and how they could've worked so so easily clint is just,,, stubborn and a lot and just wants to do good way too badly to the detriment of everyone around him. they still have a lotta love for each other and i shake my fist @ clint every day for fuckin that up

and,,,, saved jessica for last bc holy fuck bro.

HERE'S THE TRIGGER WARNING. domestic violence.

especially for clint, who was abused by his dad as a kid too, this Sucks. she hit him twice before he stopped her

and then the verbal assault too. doesn't matter how true a lot of that is, what a thing to do to the man u just abused dude!

and even trying to defend himself bc yes he was happy with bobbi and married for years, she's gotta get the last word in and hurt him more like. my first time reading this stunned me so bad

shoutout to them for actually writing about a man experiencing domestic violence bc that is so so rare especially in comics for it to be handled in a serious manner but god

TRIGGER WARNING OVER, lets talk abt his bisexuality now!

clint barton is very husband shaped but he's also very,,,, stuck in doing his job. and wanting more from his job. and that doesn't leave a lot of room to be a good husband unfortunately

it almost worked out with bobbi but they both had their own ptsd to deal with and that is definitely,,, i've had ptsd, had it for 15 years and it definitely takes ur entire everything to handle

they made a smart choice but still love each other and that's the healthiest thing clint has ever done in his life that's wild

now i definitely left out a lot of clint's canon relationships but nat, bobbi and jessica are the 3 most important imo and to my portrayal. they're the only ones that'll get past mentions unless it's smth you don't want as a writer of one of the characters

men tho,,,, i do feel like clint has always had so many thoughts and just never acted. maybe light flirting played for jokes, but it's always safe. he's always played it safe cause there's still a lot there to unpack

canonical crush on cap tho, idc he's always gotten star struck and looked up to him so much it's cute. that was probably his first moment of 'ah shit, there's smth to that huh'

i think most of his exploration has just been getting comfortable with his own thoughts, maybe one or two one night stands with random guys he met at a bar or smth

but outside of that, the man just knows he has a big heart n a lot of love to give he just doesn't fully know how to get there the right way anymore. there's still feelings to sort with bobbi and moving forward without her as his life partner

some more hawkeyes

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎he was starting to remember why he retired ( what felt like - ) every other month. training kept him in good shape, sure, but it didn't help the headache he'd gotten from stark and steve arguing again.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎two of the smartest people he knew - both behind just nat, and they still couldn't get their shit together. crazy.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎normally waiting for a cab wouldn't be this shit either, but clint barton wasn't known for his luck. sighing softly, he scanned the street. it almost feels like deja vu for a second.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎except - lucky wasn't green. he almost thought it was a trick of the light for a second, but no. carefully looking again, the blond crossed the street to approach. “ hey bud, whatcha doin' ? ”

[circusarrow]

ik this is the dumbest thought but i just want y'all to know every time i look at frank and then at clint i just think. ah yes, a pitbull and a golden retriever. they're not in the same universe that's crazy. and then i remember.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎an urgent call from stark usually meant clint was about to have a very long day. the cab ride over to the tower was nice, at least. one bit of calm before whatever shitstorm was about to hit.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎tony seemed serious, at least. which was a lot for the guy who helped him design a more advanced silly string arrow.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎his bow and quiver were on his back, ready for whatever info was about to get thrown at him. not full uniform, he wasn't that eager, but the bow was good enough.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎only the elevator opened to show the entire floor ... dark. lights out. clint squinted before the lights were thrown on and balloons released. SURPRISE!

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎and a huge ass banner saying ' happy birthday clint '. holy shit, it was already june ? and these knuckleheads remembered better than him his own damn birthday ?

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎stunned, clint released a breath he'd been holding and laughed. “ you bastards had me worried for a sec there. ”

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a few handshakes and hugs then and there, but clint would be remiss not to notice this wasn't just an avengers event. “ sue! it's good to see ya, how've you been ? ”

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎maybe he had forgotten to pick up lucky's favorite treats for her. maybe it had been ... a week. or two. since she had asked him to.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎he knew she was at his place already. clint sighed as he walked down the hall. pizza would solve everything. sides, lucky definitely liked pizza more than any old dog treat.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎“ before you say it - ” starting right as he opened the door, closing it behind him before leaning down to meet lucky. he got kisses, nearly knocked over. “ i'm ordering us all pizza tonight. ”

"STOP PUTTING YOURSELF INTO DANGER!" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue for expressing your fear that the person you care about might get themselves hurt if they keep acting like this, adjust as necessary

i thought i told you to stay back.

i love you too much to let you get hurt like this.

this affects me, too, you know.

every time you leave, i sit up all night waiting, praying you'll come back alive.

you keep pulling stunts like this and something bad will happen.

do you have a death wish or something?

this isn't fair to me.

i deserve better than this.

i didn't get any sleep last night because i was so worried about you.

you promised me you'd stop going out at night.

i don't like hearing this.

you've been risking your life, and for what? so you can feel like a goddamn hero?

i said i would handle it.

what the fuck are you doing here?

you told me you'd stay put.

so much for laying low.

you remember how bad it was last time.

seems like you haven't learned anything.

i believe you promised me you'd lay low.

i can't keep doing this.

don't give me that look.

we'll discuss this later.

this stops now.

i'm tired of picking up the pieces once you've left.

you keep throwing yourself into danger.

you don't give a shit about yourself, do you?

i'm sitting here, worried out of my mind, while you're out doing god knows what.

that was really stupid of you, and you know it.

i thought you knew better than this.

what's your excuse this time?

you do realize what this does to me, right? seeing you get hurt like this? you know it hurts me, too?

you really don't give a shit how this affects me, huh.

that was the dumbest possible thing you could have done.

i need you to stop throwing yourself into harm's way.

that was completely unnecessary.

they had it handled.

you didn't need to step in like that.

why do you think you're invincible?

the last time you pulled a stunt like this, it nearly got you killed.

i can't just sit here and watch you get hurt.

what are you trying to prove?

you just like fucking with my heart, don't you.

this shit hurts me, too, you know.

you're not the only one affected by this shit.

you've got a lot of people counting on you to come home every night.

what happens if you don't come back?

you think we can just carry on without you?

you think i can handle things if you end up dead?

i'm not sticking around to watch you get hurt.

you're not even slick.

you think you're invincible, don't you.

quit pretending you've got everything under control.

let someone else do it for a change.

you can't keep putting yourself through shit like this and expect me to just sit back and watch.

i'm done with this.

next time you do this, i'm not coming back.

promise me this is the end.

look me in the eyes and tell me you'll stop doing this.

let the authorities deal with it.

you're making a big mistake.

is it worth dying for?

i've dealt with enough pain over the years.
