#it's always oh poor clint or poor matt she just dumped him for no reason

[informaticn]

i really hate how this fandom   ( &   sometimes even the marble writers )   treats nat in regards to her breakups esp with clint   &   matt bc it’s always seen as something she just did out of the blue through no fault of theirs   &   it’s like.   did any of you ever bothered to actually read when she was on panel or.

#it's always oh poor clint or poor matt she just dumped him for no reason #& i?? don't know where anyone gets that??? #i can literally only guess that people read the specific panels of her breaking up with them #& nothing else bc there are obvious signs ; red flags that the boys just chose to ignore #like with clint nat has a few lines where she talks about clint just never being around #she mentions that they hadn't even had a meal together in months by the time she leaves him #she comments that it was hard to be with him bc she had removed herself from the hero scene #& therefore she couldn't really interact with him as a hero which was the focus of his life at the time #maybe clint & those near to them couldn't see it but as readers it's blatantly obvious that they were just growing apart #& it was going to be inevitable that they ended up splitting #with matt it's like #i love him but also he was a shitty partner #& honestly sometimes an equally shitty boyfriend #nat offers him repeated second chances ; she gives him several clues & even directly tells him #that she's unhappy with how he treats her as a partner & how they interact as romantic attachments #& he actively chose to not even attempt to change his behavior #eventually she just reached a breaking point where even tho she did still love him #it was plain for anyone with eyes that they were simply incompatible as partners both romantically & professionally #i just #i don't see how anyone can look at their breakups & think that it came out of nowhere when for both #nat was repeatedly expressing that she didn't like how things were & both would just repeatedly ignore it #there's also an issue with how bucky & nat's breakup was generally handled but that's #generally focused around how marble never really addresses it beyond the focus they put #on bucky's sadness over it rather than actually Confronting & resolving the issue #while continuously ignoring the fact that nat is even there beyond her ability to stare straight ahead #while bucky looks sad & lonely #i'm mad about it!! all of them!! #stop pretending nat is a bad girlfriend bc clint & matt had the listening comprehension of a bag of rocks when they dated!! #& stop pretending bucky was the only one hurt by the situation!! #let nat have feelings!! let her be fed up & tired of dealing with them!! let her be angry!! or sad!! let her be a person!!
