I love Babs. She's my favorite member of the Batfam...
But I have to show up for Foggy.
This is a man who does all he can without any kind of fighting expertise- just a great memory for law, a deep love for his community, and sassy determination. He's Matt's lifeline time after time back to why he became Daredevil in the first place.
Yet when you go hunting for Foggy merchandise or poster-worthy official Foggy artwork, Marvel has dropped the ball. For such an influential and beloved Daredevil character, he gets overlooked constantly by the company. At least as fans we can give him a higher priority.
Do you like Daredevil, The Defenders, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, the Punisher, and/or Team Red, in their comics or TV (or, in some cases, cinema!) versions?
Then, get ready for the Daredevil and Defenders 2025 Exchange!

Still with the Remix Option: ou can say you’re open to getting a gift created from one of your own fanworks!!
How? Sign up here! You will be able to give several prompts (different types of prompts, too! Music, scenarios, one word prompts) and you will, of course, receive several prompts.
Your job? Use at least one of these prompts to create at least one fanwork! You can combine several prompts in one work, use the same prompt for several works... The one hard and fast rule is to respect your giftee's squicks!

If you have a scheduling issue please get in touch with the blog, we can probably work something out. And you will be able to post on the dedicated AO3 collection earlier since it will be kept unrevealed until D-Day !
Where to post? Tumblr, AO3 (Exchange collection name: dde2025 / Daredevil and Defenders Exchange 2025)… let us know where you're posting so we can share it on our two blogs, DW and Tumblr.
AO3 can't host video or graphics, but you can still put them up on the Archive as long as they’re already online somewhere else like Instagram, DeviantArt, YouTube, Squidge hosting, etc. Get in touch if you have questions about posting !
Posting guidelines are here (this link should be opened in a separate browser tab, NOT the app) or here, please take the time to read them! You will find more important information there. If you do not have an AO3 account and want one, please get in touch with the blog.
A winning banner by @nkeiiin ! Detailed ID under the cut
Digital illustration of The Defenders and Punisher. From left to right is Frank Castle, Jessica Jones, Matt Murdock, Luke Cage and Danny Rand. A close up shot of all the characters stands very close together on a plain dark grey background. Their faces have few bruises and two or more small bandages, except Luke Cage doesn’t have any injuries. The whole fanart is in darker shades of brownish colour tone. The title “Daredevil / Defenders Exchange 2025” is coloured in white and placed on top of the fan art. “daredevilexchange.tumblr.com” url is on the bottom left corner of the banner.
I felt so uncomfortable watching that moment in the show. It was so intimate.
And of course, I remembered the moment from Season 1 when Foggy said that Matt touched his face and how weird it was for him. Now I understand why.You know, for a blind person, touching a face doesn't really help to imagine what someone looks like. It doesn’t work that way. It seems to me that for Matt, it was always a way to get closer to someone or to pick them up.
How long do you think Matt thought before he offered to touch Foggy’s face?I imagine that after Foggy said Matt really looked good, Matt had a bit of an identity crisis. Matt knew exactly what he was doing when he touched Foggy’s face and it was definitely not to “see him.” It was done to pick up Foggy.
Look, I’m not one of those people who will loudly argue that MattFoggy has to be canon. Not because I don't believe in them but because I'm afraid I might be exaggerating the hints.But fuck, look how intimate it is with Heather and Matt also touched Foggy's face. A straight man touches another man's face? And does it without any real need? And this is supposed to be normal? This is supposed to be heterosexual?
I just want to say that while I'm as worried as anyone else, I reserve judgment until the end of April. Supportive hugs all around. Fake out is on my bingo card for a reason though.
