Clint's fine, everyone else is just mean

Welcome to sideblog dedicated to showing the best of Pelican Town's blacksmith

[pelicantown-blacksmith]

Welcome to my Clint positivity sideblog!

For those mighty 22 who followed me even before The Prophecy TM (and more than twice that much since!!), thank you for being among the awakened few. Also, forgive me for the sudden spam today. Usually this is a more dormant blog where I occasionally have spurts of one queued post a day.

I don't know if I'll continue this blog once the 1.7 update is up. That entirely depends on how folks continue to behave in the Clint tags. The reason I started this blog is because there is far too much unjustified unfunny Clint hate there. If this update means that is no longer necessary, that is, Clint love finally far surpasses Clint hate, then that is likely when I'll abandon this sideblog.

Until then, thank you for fighting the good fight!

For increased ease finding something specific in this sideblog, I have a tag legend under the cut. (Still a bit of a WIP)

I just know this is gonna ruin someone's day

[history-of-stitchery]

Marriagables (1.7) as dog types based purely on vibes

Abigail: golden doodle (hear me out): middle upper class parents- does anything and everything to spite them because they don’t let her run around outside like she needs to.

Alex: A Dusty (mixed Shepard of some sort) but specifically when someone has steak. Absolute freak of nature. Also that rescue dog that gets returned to the shelter because he’s cute but he doesn’t have doggy manners and will be jumping off the walls because he needs an absurd amount of exercise.

Clint: mastiff. He just kind of looks like one (big, very big). Also people are scared of him but he’s actually just anxious and kind of pathetic. (The amount of mastiffs I know that are scared of everything man)

Elliott: Afghan hound—look at him. The resemblance is uncanny.

Emily: xolo that has random tufts of hair- weird but I love them. Alleged Spiritual connections.

Haley: long haired chihuahua or Pomeranian, she’s that bitch(tm) and she knows it.

Harvey- Italian greyhound. So adorably pathetic and 99% anxiety. Put a little fake mustache on one and tell me I’m wrong.

Maru: poodle or border collie (very smart and knows it)

Penny: one of the little companion spaniels. Sweet and cute and can be great with families.

Sam: yellow Labrador. Specifically one that flunked out of service dog school- like first week. (Alternatively: orange cat)

Sandy: Saluki, beautiful, majestic, comes from the desert. She kind of looks like a shi tzu too.

Sebastian: that man is not a dog, he is a cat that lives with dogs and hates most of them. Also might hate you. He’s deciding. Depends if you give him raw fish and respect his space.

Shane: a rescue dog of some type (he’s stocky like an American bull terrier) but not the same type of Alex. Alex is one that was abused but still desperately wants attention, Shane’s the one that’s reactive and growls at people. You got to give him TLC and understand him then becomes your bestie.

EDIT: I forgot Leah- Irish setter (idk she looks like one)

Fighting the war against Clint on the side of Clint

[himeswirl]

I was giggling a storm, by you think… if you marry Clint and he lives in your house… does he take the mine cart to his work instead of walking

Im Drawing you on a Chibi Style...do you Like it?

Lowkey yearning for Clint

Four-hearts scene on a date with Clint when he asks for advice on how to get closer to Emily 🤭

Counterbalance the mods that make Clint skinny or buff by making a mod that makes him even fatter.

(If someone made this, I would pay them real money)

Clint’s little blacksmith shop

[theharlotofferelden]

imma be real, dawg. i dont think Clint is an incel or that he needs a redemption arc, bc when ppl say “incel” they mean it as shorthand for “misogynist loser” and not “subculture sourced in nazism that festers in corners of the internet bc all the men that are apart of these niche subcultures suffer from confirmation bias by surrounding themselves with other like-minded losers, which further enables the poor behavior they're exhibiting in these spaces, but also end up further radicalizing them into more toxic ideologies and frameworks, when the reality is that they would probably be better off unplugging from the internet and interfacing with the real world via community events, or otherwise cultivating some sort of hobby outside of being an annoying dipshit online" and if you pay attention to the writing, Clint is actually neither of these things lmao

In addition, in order for “redemption arc” to be warranted, the character has to do something worth redeeming, which in Clint’s case is……? Existing? Being socially inept and a little bit offputting due to his lack of confidence? Being unable to talk to the girl he likes? like, not to be Old on main, but back in my day ppl used to ask for redemption arcs from dudes with a body count (pun not intended).

And like, while i don’t think it’s particularly productive to gatecrash someone’s extremely nuanced reasons for disliking a character, im kind of at that level where i think all the "valid" reasons are largely irrelevant because I refuse to interface with people who are morally grandstanding over a mildly problematic video game character.

like omg you're gonna marry clint and sacrifice all the babies you have with him before divorcing him so that you can marry Sandy? should we throw a party? should we tell eric barone?

Righty or lefty? Marriageables 1.7)

Vibes- the numbers on this will not be representative of the population, but then again everyone is a redhead

Abby: Right handed-likes to say she’s ambidextrous but she’s not

Alex: ambidextrous—his fine motor skills are equally atrocious in both hands, but both are strong enough to throw/do sports activities with

Clint- right handed by force- his dad was like “you have to be right handed to be a blacksmith” I don’t think this is true but that just sounds like some shit an old blacksmith would say.

Elliott: right, and good thing because the ink would smudge!

Emily: spiritually left but actually right

Haley: right

Harvey: left

Leah- left or ambidextrous (does she use her right hand in her hammering?)

Maru: right

Penny: right

Sam: right, but the idea of being a lefty intrigues him

Sandy:right

Sebastian: a leftie and will not shut up about how he is oppressed because of it

Shane: right.
