40, letting the nerd out, mostly focused on Daredevil & Jessica Jones. Usually follow back and reblog, but you can't guilt me into it. Also, I am interested in women and female characters. Feel like this should be mentioned. Can only be found on AO3 and Tumblr.

New Story....

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Summary:

While Fisk reshapes New York and declares to fight vigilantism Peter Parker continues to go out as Spiderman. He even finds himself in Hell's Kitchen looking for another anomaly caused by the spell that blew up his life. The only person who might be able to point him in the right direction could ironically be that blind lawyer - who he once saw catch a brick that was thrown through the window. Matt Murdock however does not remember that Spiderman has been his client. And he's also sort of trying to forget everything about his own past life. But is he really done catching bricks?

Notes:

So, obviously: Spoilers for Born Again and also for the last Spiderman film, No Way Home.

The reason why I'll never get over Daredevil getting canceled is, even though s3 is one of the greatest seasons of all time and s1 and 2 were amazing, I think the best season of the show was yet to come. When I'm rewatching dd I always choose the episodes where Matt, Foggy and Karen work together and share nice moments, cause I love their found family dynamic. The thing is most of the time they're either fighting or not telling each other something, so the choice is kinda limited. Imagine if we got entire seasons of the three of them working together knowing Matt is Daredevil and being completely honest with each other. Watching them grow, interact with new characters and fight new villains. Exploring new aspects of their personalities. I'll never stop mourning that

The one where Kirsten finally finds out what she's been suspecting for a while and regrets it immediately. First chapter is pinned to this blog. Two more to go.

Watching Jessica Jones again, it's been way too long!

[corviiids]

btw it is sexy and cool to uplift and admire people who have skills you wish you had without using their ability as a stick to beat yourself with. even and especially if you are jealous of them.

love the trope where an authoritative side character pointedly pretends not to help the hero they’re not supposed to be helping by saying shit like “well I can’t just let you wander around up to the THIRD FLOOR where you could just FIND THE THING YOU NEED in the FIRST ROOM ON THE LEFT. And under no circumstances should you USE THE KEY FROM UNDER THE MAT. I wish I could help you, but I CAN’T. Now excuse me, I need to take this phone call for the next 37 minutes EXACTLY.”

[seraph5]

My doctor did that for me once. I had to get an expensive brain scan and she was like ‘do you smoke?’ and I was like ‘no’ and she was like “well that’s a pity because the government will pay for this expensive brain scan if you had been a smoker so - do you smoke?” 🤣🤣🤣 I was like ‘yes’ and she’s like ‘oh wow then this scan will be free’

S2 for a Good Girl's Guide to Murder is coming out, based on the second book in the trilogy, Good Girl, Bad Blood, andddd this time Holly Jackson herself wrote the script anddd I'm very very excited beacuse the end of that book had me on the edge of my seat (literally), heart twisting and in the end, literally sobbing.

[some-fiction]

One of the rare occasions where I felt a series got better with every book. Was there too much crime happening in this town? Maybe. But the story just kept getting better, the characters got more and more interesting and I just can't wait for the insanity of the 3rd book in season 3. Good stuff. I hope the show can do it justice.

[some-fiction]

So.... the Punisher special is just basically a pilot without follow-up? They just explain all the things we know already. He wants to end his life, because he thinks there's no point to it anymore and then as usual he gets pulled into another bloodbath moving on why and what for exactly? To press more money out of a character that already has nothing left to say or do?

Is this happening while Karen's on trial, by the way?

And don't get me started on that city looking like it's in the middle of a civil war over the slaughter of one crime family. Power vacuums or gang wars I'd buy, but this shit? Nope. All that fuzz just to spill a lot of blood, shed some tears over things that happened a long time ago and a couple of half decent action scenes. What a joke. Kill or retire him already. I don't care anymore, unless they allow him to change or evolve in some way.

[eleanoroliphant]

heartbroken to say i was one of the 12 karedevil shippers ten years ago and i’ve stuck with them through hell but this season is giving me nothing. i feel nothing. nothing about them feels earned ESPECIALLY by matt. choosing to have them happen offscreen was insane in the worst way. where is the tension? what happened to the concept of developing a story? literally nothing would have changed if they’d chosen to go for any trope in the book IN the current season as opposed to between seasons. having to share a bed as friends with unresolved feelings is so simple and effective it alone would have been a great thing to build on. tension would have followed naturally. why should i infer what’s been going on in karen’s head during a time jump i haven’t seen? what am i supposed to make of her pretty much being caught having feelings for frank as well as matt? is she over those? i swear i feel like this all only makes sense if their romance is doomed or the timing is just not right yet but come on. these people aren’t going to play around with timing anymore, they look like they’re wrapping it all with a third season and a movie.

[some-fiction]

I saved this little rant, because I felt it even as someone who is multi shipping. But I told myself that this is probably not meant to be a love story. However having watched the finale now, it totally is! And it didn't have to be. They could have written them as friends easily. They could have made this all about exposing Fisk and saving Karen, but it was not. They also must have been aware that a lot of fans straight up reject Karen and Matt as a couple, because they probably ship one or both of them with someone else and seeing them together ruins that. Or they still feel that it is forced.

And yet, the makers of this show decided to not even show us how Matt and Karen finally got together. At this point all I'm sure of is that even before Born Again something romantic must have happened between them with the way they flirted in episode 1. Also, both actors give it their all. The way they look at each other in season 2 is not the way friends or siblings look at each other at all. If people feel that that is more what they should be that is because we never saw any tension before Born Again and I just feel that Karedevil shippers have been robbed. They should use the time Matt spends in prison to fill the gaps with some flashbacks, but at the same time i feel that the damage is done already. Showing the tension later will just not be the same. It sucks actually, because it could have been really good if they just committed to it being a love story from the get go. It could have made the slow start of the season so much more interesting...

[the-grinning-mimic]

Why wasn't I informed about the amount of whump Daredevil has? Why wasn't I informed that hot men covered in their blood are in almost every episode?

Shame on you fellow whumpers, I thought we were friends.

[burn-4u]

Oh cool so there’s gonna be another year long time skip between born again s2 and s3. Awesome. It’s really cool how this show just skips over everything that might be interesting and does it off screen. Sick.

[some-fiction]

I like the show, but it could really be better with so little effort. It truly is baffling sometimes what the writers decide to skip and what they keep coming back to.

Are you trapped on tumblr right now?

Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?

Consider this your save point.

Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

[amaraqwolf]

Things people in the notes have been able to do thanks to this post:

eat breakfast

go to bed

get out of bed

take a shower

write

practice

watch Superman Returns and write a paper on it

retain shreds of sanity

I need y’all to know that you’re doing amazing, and I’m so glad that I was able to help you break out of a procrastination loop you did not want to be stuck in.

[andythecarpathian]

Helpful post I’ve added to my queue in case it helps someone else at the random point when it’s posted.

[kitzysaurus]

Don’t get me wrong, Vincent D’Onofrio did a great job as Fisk. But I really hope we’re done with him in the MCU, he’s been the main villain of pretty much Daredevil’s entire run, and I feel like they’ve done everything they can with him.

I’m tired, can we get a new enemy for Daredevil? Please, I know he has tons of villains to choose from. Let’s explore his character more with a different archenemy, stop rehashing him and Kingpin, it’s been done enough.

I’ve heard that Vincent will be in season three, but I hope it’s not as the main villain. Maybe a cameo or a few scenes here and there to wrap up his story better, but I’m tired of Kingpin being the main villain.

[some-fiction]

Same. As much as I respect the actor, I at least need a break. Every time he comes back it just makes it harder to buy into.

Someone asked for a new chapter, so here it is. 😄 "Get Lucky Or Die Trying"

This is all kinds of fucked up. You'll find the beginning pinned to my blog for now. I won't say anything else about this chapter. Three more to go.

[noodles-07]

did they cut the "I hope you can walk because I'm not carrying you" scene from the trailer or did I just miss it

[mmusicofmysoul]

Love to see these characters on screen again, and maybe my expectations were so low in general so that’s why I enjoyed the season so much despite every episode feeling it needed like +15 extra minutes and the season needed +3 extra episodes to develop things more organically, that being said… Now that everything is in order and the new team has full creative control… LET KAREN BE THE CO-LEAD OF THE SERIES ONCE AGAIN, please and thank you.
