thinking about frank constantly calling peter “kid” and allowing peter into his home despite being someone who does things on his own. thinking about frank feeling protective enough over peter to go and risk his life to have his back. thinking about the horror on frank’s face when he realized he shot peter. peter who is someone’s son. peter who has saved his ass. peter who was brave enough to jump in front of that bullet. peter who is around the age of his kids if they were still alive. thinking about the fact that frank was reliving his worst day through that moment, where he once again saw himself as the villain.

People can't compare Frank hitting Karen's car and then not helping her in DDs2 to David ramming into Madani and Frank helping her in The Punisher s1. It's not comparable. Frank went through a lot of character development between one season and the next. The man who hit Karen's car and then put his mission (killing the Blacksmith) above her well-being is not the same man in The Punisher. In s1, he gave up his anonymity to go after Lewis because he had threatened Karen. He put aside his mission of avenging his family to protect Karen. He took a bullet for her. He dislocated his shoulder so he could avoid arrest and rescue Karen. He was willing to make himself Lewis's hostage in place of Karen. He was willing to die to keep Karen safe.

In no way, shape, or form does that compare to him pulling Madani out of a car and then ditching her two seconds later. Frank tolerates Madani; he loves Karen.

no Karen Page references but imma take the whole "if you want to get out of the hospital I can help you" as a winking wink to the punisher season two and the epic day when Karen Page lost her shoes. I will settle for this.

He treated her the way he shall treat anyone, as Nesta needed normalcy, not sympathy.

I've seen this online regarding the topic of how Cassian lacked empathy towards Nesta on multiple occasions, especially when Nesta, due to her PTSD, had nightmares and tried to descend the stairs to seek alcohol. - thething that literally helped her overcome her horrible mental state, and Cassian was frustrated and didn't help her when she fell down the stairs, even considering it a bit of idk karma for wanting to get "shitfaced-drunk."

This is a bit from a longer response, but this part made me especially sad and frustrated because there are so many people who think Nesta deserved this treatment. "Yeah, maybe their actions weren't fully correct, but come on, she was so irritating, I wanted to slap the girl half the book for how whiny she was" (another paraphrased thing I've seen online in different variations, but the message is the same).

And I really need to know what is meant by normalcy in this case.

Normalcy of being treated with rudeness and dismissiveness.

Normalcy in being trained to be useful, like her mother did?

Normalcy in being emotionally ignored because "she's strong and she'll deal"?

And why are these considered better than sympathy? Why does it ignore all the cases when Nesta received sympathy so well from Emerie, Gwyn, the House, Azriel, and Ember?

Or maybe because her relationship with Cassian is too charged thus he had no business to be her caretaker, and her desire not to interact with him should have been taken into consideration?

Eris being a very strict dog owner who sees his smokehounds merely as tools to be used vs nesta who lets them on the bed, wraps them in blankets, and gives them food off her plate when he’s not around

Saw this eight year old comment from a Karedevil shipper:

"If Frank had anything more than platonic feelings for Karen, she'd be the one he's thinking about at the end and not Maria. Show seemed clear that Frank's not just missing Maria, he's still actively in love with her."

This is such an interesting comment because in OLK, Karen - not Maria - is the one Frank hallucinated right before he fought for his life. He imagined her wearing Maria's hoodie (his hoodie, really) and he almost kissed Karen.

I think OLK proved that Frank's moved on from Maria's memory and that he's madly in love with Karen. And a Karedevil shipper from eight years ago unintentionally confirmed it.

just watched spiderman: brand new day, and i was obviously giggling over frank's antics, but i was especially losing it whenever he teased peter about pining over mj.

it was if he hasn't been doing exactly that with karen for the last decade AND was literally imagining holding her not long ago, hmm....

oh, frank. you're such a yearning hypocrite!

Just to put it in perspective, 90 days before HOFAS we had the book title, cover, synopsis and Bloomsbury was posting teasers of the book being printed at the publishers.

We are now 89 days away from ACOTAR 6. No title. No cover. No synopsis. No communication.

The top five Karen Page posts are all Kastle. I think Karen stans have spoken loud and clear about which ship they prefer.

“Gwyn asked Az, her teal eyes bright, ‘What do we get if we finish the course?’ Az’s shadows danced around him. ‘Since there’s no chance in hell any of you will finish the course, we didn’t bother to get a prize.’ Boos sounded. Gwyn lifted her chin in challenge. ‘We look forward to proving you wrong.’

Karen had more passionate intimacy with Todd than she's ever had with Matt, and Matt has had more passionate intimacy with both Elektra and Heather than he's ever had with Karen.

All of this has to be written with intention to break up Karedevil and give us Kastle and MattElektra endgame.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING (2003), dir. Peter Jackson

It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.
