Greetings, Lovelies!

I’m glad I was stalking the community today because I completely forgot I offered to take over ATTF. Which would have been a bad thing because I’m 95% sure enigma731 is actually training attack birds. I don’t know how long it would take them to fly north and come after me, but I don’t want to risk it, SO.

Today’s discussion: headcanons! \o/

Now, headcanons are great things. For those of you who haven’t come across this amazing term, headcanons are the things we privately and not-so-privately muse about our characters until it’s either confirmed or denied by canon. Ways to fill in the gaps, as you do. I’ve been making them up for every movie character I find interesting for years (and books and TV, too!). They can be huge, life-altering events, or they can simply be how the character prefers their coffee (Clint: black; Natasha: enough sugar to make an elephant dance).

The great thing about headcanons is that canon sometimes comes along and confirms these and it’s a great feeling. The worst thing about headcanons is that sometimes canon comes along and stomps them into iiiiiiiitty bitty little pieces and you’re left with a broken heart and a broken headcanon. Each installment lives on that knife’s edge of thrill and terror.

Recently, we got a huge installment in our canon—aka one of our characters actually showed up on screen for the first time in three years and he got backstory. So I want to check in with everybody about how your headcanons came through.

Today’s discussion points:

• What were your headcanons prior to Age of Ultron? How’d they fare? How do you feel about that?


• Did Age of Ultron give you new headcanons?


• What, in your opinion, is the best headcanon you’ve seen somebody else post? Did you decide to adopt it?


• What do you feel are the most common headcanons about Clint and Natasha?


• And—please keep this positive, please!—but which headcanons don’t you agree with?

And as always, here are your ATTF guidelines:
Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)
5) There are going to be Age of Ultron spoilers in this post, so if you haven’t seen it yet, probably best to skip it unless you don’t mind getting spoiled!
