#JSJSJ sorry i just had to tell y'all about something sort of humorous regarding barton bc of what i posted last night

[mad-hunts]

i find it equal parts sad as well as kind of funny in a bad way that barton will literally make friends with quote unquote ' ordinary people ' who even show even an iota of interest in him and this is mostly because he is just so lonely all the time. but whenever they do, these poor people have no freaking idea what they're getting into whenever you become friends with barton because his kind of friendship is DEFINITELY not the typical kind... like, especially if he views you as one of his super close friends. because suddenly you will be barraged with calls at three am where barton will either be downright ugly crying into the phone over a absolutely horrific nightmare he had or he'll be like: ' hey, i need you to come over RIGHT NOW and not ask any questions ' and thinking that it's probably an emergency, his friend will probably go to his house in a panic, only to discover that no. barton is, in fact, NOT in an emergency and he actually seems surprised that they came. and he then proceeds to tell them that he asked them to come over because he just wanted to see them so bad that he felt like he was ' dying ' 💀

like are you being for real right now?? this man really doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to these things, after all, and he's just highkey such a pest in general istg. and i haven't even talked about the fact that barton purposefully embarrasses people he likes but not in a particularly malicious way. it's just in a VERY mortifying way like reaching his hand out to take theirs, then swinging it back and fourth whenever they are in like... a damn grocery store in public together and proclaiming to someone that passes by them ' hey, so this is my friend. aren't they like the coolest? i bet you're so jealous right now that they're my friend and not yours OOHHH, ' like... he is just setting them up to be stared at by people. it's so devious.

there is also the fact that barton will literally NOT allow them to fight their own battles sometimes because he will cut in if he sees someone is bothering them / threatening them and be like, ' hey friend, who's this prick? do you need me to deck them in the face? ' and he does it in such a way that you cannot even tell whether he's joking or not. like, he's certainly got some issues that he needs to work out, but he's also kind of hilarious sometimes? JSJSJ and he is strangely up to defending his friends from people which i suppose is... sort of funky fresh of him... despite him committing countless atrocities on the daily?? 🫠 idk, but the point i'm trying to make is, barton is highkey a menace even around these ' normal friends ' that he has a tendency of making and he shows his love for them in a very... unusual way, to say the least LOL. sooo yeah be prepared to feel like you're on a rollercoaster with him
