clairebxrton:

just cause i’m working on a thread in my drafts with this: CLAIRE LOVES SPACE/ SPACE DOCUMENTARIES and you can try your damndest to rip this headcanon from me when i’m dead but it’s mine and i’m not letting go. bc honestly think about it??? 

claire grew up looking at stars, learning everything she could from old torn books in the rundown school library. sneaking out of her window while her dad laid passed out downstairs and her mom was crying in her bedroom, black eye and honestly just trying to learn everything she could about space. badgering barney so he’d take out books for her with his library card. honestly wishing to go to space. 

and yeah, as she gets older those dream die a little. especially in the circus where jacques and buck teach her that the only way to survive in the world is to have a viable skill and that’s what her shooting is and not her dumb dream of going to space. but it’s always with her. she never loses her sense of wonder when it comes to space. she never stops watching the stars and trying to learn all she can about it. she climbs trees whenever she can to get a bit closer to the sky, but she can’t reach it yet. she plans to one day, no matter what anyone says and she fights for it, tooth and nail bc it doesn’t matter to her if it’s not a viable dream it’s hers and she wants to keep it. she pushes it back when she realizes that if she doesn’t stop daydreaming the world is going to eat her alive, but it’s always with her. 

bc to her space means freedom and claire barton loves her freedom. loves her ability to choose what she does. 

but since she can’t go to space, she watches everything she can about it. she still learns everything she can. she spends money and time on reading books about the newest space information. in tandem, due to her love of space, she loves stars and astronomy and just SPACE
