so 😛 I was watching season 2 of Daredevil again annnnd I realized for the first time that Matt almost never takes off his glasses, even when he's just talking to Karen in a private place or with Foggy, he only takes off his glasses when he's injured or when he's wearing the DD suit. BUT, when he's with Elektra, he almost never puts his glasses on, it's even the opposite, I see many scenes of him taking off his glasses JUST to talk to her.
I found this so cute and so deep about their relationship, it's almost like an unannounced way of saying "I can be myself with you, without fear, without shame" and I think it hurt even more when they're trapped in that building and Elektra is dying and he finally admits that she's the only person who understands him and sees him completely, his vigilante side and his lawyer side (even though she doesn't like his moral side a lot). She accepts him the way he is, she doesn't ask him to stop, of course she tried to corrupt him and make him change (in the sense of not restricting himself to not killing criminals) but she still accepts him and he does that too, he wants her to change but still loves her the way she is.
toxic but passionate, so I love them
oh exactly this is why i have a love hate relationship with mattelektra. yes they’re toxic in a way, but ohhh the way he truly could be himself, be his true self, all of him when he’s with her because she was already in that world with him. one thing that i noticed when i first watched season 2 of dd was matt truly enjoyed that gala. i remembered saying to myself like “ohh you enjoyed it didn’t you?” he truly couldn’t hide his smile when they got away, in my opinion at that moment he felt free
