There was one moment where I completely stopped thinking of Clint as an incel or a creep, and that was when I started headcanoning “him” as transfem. It makes sense when you realize Clint is too unhappy with his life because he’s doing what he’s expected or supposed to do from his family of blacksmiths and society. Maybe Clint doesn’t feel that being a blacksmith… or even living as a man, is fulfilling?
It’s most likely not intended lol, but I call her Clara, and basically the story I made up was that her crush on Emily is less of a crush and more admiration. Like envisioning the woman she wants to be like but she doesn’t know it. Also Emily lives a carefree life free of social conventions which can also be inspiring. This mostly came from my other headcanon that Sandy is a trans woman, so I thought why not make Clint an egg. Then when Clara transitions the three of them can form a friend group or a throuple. Just my headcanon though <3
