long time no rambling (sort of)
i had hawkquill on the brain yesterday so here's a copypasted rant i made about them in marvel rivals that i inflicted upon my partner (ily jette, ty for putting up with me :3)
so based on what little i know about them, their personalities are pretty similar; they’re both cocky and brazen, prone to making jokes and puffing themselves up a bit (clint less so on the cockiness)
but it’s a coping mechanism for them both
clint does it to ignore the voices in his head of the people he’s lost, the voices that tell him that he’s not good enough and never will be
peter is much of the same
they’re both fairly average, especially compared to the powerhouses they make their company
but while peter leads said powerhouses as the leader of the guardians, clint is often regarded as the least important of the avengers, the weak link that can be terminated at any time
while he and peter both hold their respective teams together just as well as the other
because clint is a grounding force in his supposed mediocrity, he’s down-to-earth in a way some of the other avengers aren’t, because he’s the most physically human of them
he reminds them that there are limits, lines that can’t be crossed
while peter is an often annoying outgoing guy, he’s a more obvious catalyst for change and improvement; it’s his responsibility to keep his team together
but anyway yeah they’re very similar i think
as for how i think they’d meet, within the marvel rivals universe specifically
i think they’d meet by way of just a meeting between the avengers and the guardians, due to the looming threat of both of the doctor dooms threatening to tear the universes apart
so both teams meet to discuss the issue
and from the moment they meet, it’s clear that peter and clint get along naturally, bouncing quips off each other like they’ve been friends for ages
and in a way, there are aspects of each other that they see in themselves
which reinforces both comfort
and distance
they meet up a few times on their own, at the practice range or something, and they boast about their respective aim and banter back and forth about their teams and the catastrophic situation they and everyone else are in
but they watch each other.
there’s something both nice and unsettling regarding how much they see in each other
but while peter tries to use it to establish bare minimum a friendship with a man he deems attractive (both physically and emotionally, almost like a magnetic pull), clint gets scared and keeps his distance
because he doesn’t want to mess things up
and he doesn’t want it to happen again
because he does care for peter, as much as he wants to deny that
anyway that’s all i have right now, a lot of this is just speculation as to what they’d be like interacting
bc they haven’t even canonically interacted in rivals. they don’t even have a line together
