Phantom Rider canonically punching Bobbi in order to kidnap her makes me feel even less guilty for making him physically abusive in some AUs. Not that I ever felt guilty. Cause fuck that guy.
Real reasson about Clint and Bobbi's divorce? I tough because Bobbi cheated on him, but not sure
absolutely not! i think that misunderstanding is likely from the end of the mockingbird solo in 2016, which decided to go ahead and try to retcon a very key event. let's get into it...
in west coast avengers, the whole team time travels to the old west. their time machine is broken and can only travel backwards. while trying to time travel back further, the phantom rider punches bobbi and takes her off the machine, separating her from the team (in space and time)
phantom rider takes bobbi to his cave and concocts a drug to convince her she's his wife
eventually, the two-gun kid (cowboy friend of hawkeye) tracks them down and is able to snap bobbi out of her drugged stupor. she realizes the extent of coercion that's occurred. clint is trapped in ancient egypt (and also dying), so he's not around for what comes next; during a showdown with bobbi, phantom rider falls off a ledge.
because fuck this guy, bobbi makes her choice: that is, choose to do nothing.
phantom rider's spirit actually just gets reincarnated when he dies, which bobbi admittedly didn't know about at the time, but fuck that guy.
when clint and bobbi are finally reunited, she doesn't divulge the sexual assault that occurred. several issues later, phantom rider's spirit in the present tells clint bobbi killed him and doesn't say why (bc fuck that guy). in what is notoriously the most dickish response (and writing) possible, clint goes "that's not what he said!!!!!!!" when bobbi tries to tell clint why she let phantom rider drop (bc, again, fuck that guy). and so, a rift is born.
clint's whole motto is "avengers don't kill," so his contentions are: you killed someone, you lied by omission, you betrayed my trust by not telling me. bobbi's are: that doesn't count as killing, that guy was a rapist, you are being a shitty husband. also fuck that guy.
the ensuing issues are a bunch of "pick a side" bullshit with the team and squabbling. which was ridiculous. clint's stance was so ridiculous that while all their acid and strife in west coast avengers continued, clint and bobbi would constantly be trying to reconcile and acting tenderly toward each other in concurrent issues of solo avengers. bc other writers thought "yeah fuck that guy."
so that's why they broke up. but also they didn't bc they got back together? but also they didn't get back together bc that was a skrull. but that wasn't supposed to be a skrull at the time and was only one retroactively. but then they got back together anyway. i digress.
ANYWAYS this brings us to mockingbird #8 (2016), which attempts to retcon all that in a way i can only describe as insulting. first of all, phantom rider's described as an ex of bobbi's, which is a terrible start.
then this happens:
yeah. whether the writer was trying to retcon the reasoning behind the divorce, bobbi having been sexually assaulted, or whatever aspect of the entire storyline, what instead comes across is that the writer decided "woman who survived sexual assault and asserted her agency in letting perpetrator die" should be "so like, bobbi cheated on clint, bc she makes her own decisions!" while we have panels of a man drugging her. ???? the only way you could potentially reconcile this is bobbi is lying to phantom rider to get him to fuck off (bc fuck that guy), but as i mentioned, she also calls him her "ex" in her internal monologue earlier in this very same issue, so that definitely didn't seem to be the writer's intention. sooo. we should all collectively ignore this retcon attempt.
there's also the added complication of whether their divorce was finalized during west coast avengers what with bobbi being presumed dead but then not dead, and then clint actually dying and then undying and then dying and then undying again, bobbi confirming they were divorced in new avengers reunion, but then hawkeye v4 later having clint sign divorce papers...but that's not the crux of the issue at hand. leave that for a wills and trusts probate hypo.
SO in summary: not really. if you found this obnoxiously long, enjoy this even longer text post i once made summarizing their relationship, kind of!
Listen, Bobbi Morse is bisexual and that’s canon even if marvel won’t make it canon.
bobbi morse for the headcanon thing!!!!
I gotchu, she's so underrated and for what
A: realistic
Because Ming loves Star Wars, people tend to label May as the Star Wars kid, but I bet it was Bobbi. She's low-key about it because she's low-key about everything, but if she's watching Empire alone in the common space she can be seen murmuring along with the dialogue. She and Hunter have a running game going when they watch together. They each recite what they think the next line is; big popular lines ("I am your father," "Scruffy-looking nerf herder") are off limits because "it's free real estate, Bob." "You're just saying that because you thought it was "Luke, I am your father" until we watched it together." Whoever is right gets the satisfaction of having beaten the other (it's Bobbi and Hunter. That's a lot of satisfaction).
Bobbi wore 1 Star Wars shirt and now it's featured in every fan work ever, so here's my contribution to that.
B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
Bobbi cannot cook for shit. Field agents like her kind of have to be able to cook so they can, you know, survive in safe houses with limited resources, but between her and May, two of the best and most renowned specialists on base, there is subzero cooking skills. Even Daisy can heat up a pizza-- she lived in her van for years. Bobbi explodes butter in the microwave.
C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
Her leg never healed correctly. In canon we see her taking physical therapy very seriously despite hating it, and she moves on it just fine after a while, but a break like that at such an awful angle just does not heal all the way. She doesn't need crutches or anything, but it protests with every step. Bobbi Morse, the Mockingbird, has a limp. A weak spot. Every time an enemy exploits it in a fight, kicking out her leg from beneath her, like clockwork, she dreams about Ward. She wakes up in cold sweat, and grabs at her knee, making sure the bones are in the right place.
D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
Bisexual. It's unrealistic because Marvel are cowards. End of headcanon.
i wish there wasn’t such a stigmatized view on platonically loving people.
I can’t call people nicknames and pet names like hun and honey without them immediately assuming i have romantic interest in them.
i can’t tell my friends i love them without adding on “platonically” or shortening the phrase “ily” “love you” “love u”
i love a lot of people. i love my sister, i love my boyfriend, and i love my best friend. All different versions of love.
let us love people openly and honestly without it being seen as “making a move” or being romantically interested.
please please please stop assuming that love is strictly romantic, i promise you life becomes so much brighter and bigger when you stop keeping love strictly romantic.
I’m not a real person shipper but if we got an entire album of happy love songs like The Alchemy and So High School (plus a few football jokes cuz I love me my football) I would die of happiness
if ‘so high school’ and ‘the alchemy’ are any indication of what an album about Travis would sound like… it’s a need
I’m so bummed that 911 and 911 Lone Star are on different networks because I would LOVE to see Buck calling them up and excitedly telling them about his kiss.
I have offically come to the conclusion that the best Legacies ship is Handizzie. AKA Hope/Landon/Lizzie AKA me getting to have both Handon and Hizzie.
Hope and Lizzie transforming from enemies to the very best of friends is still my favorite relationship growth in Legacies. And even though Lizzie ended up with MG, I still would’ve loved to see Hizzie.
