situations i would like to see frank castle in, with fee and/or their spawn:
frank + felicia in a baby store — carter’s or gymboree — and frank’s scowl practically scaring off all the associates who want to help the pretty pregnant blonde as she squeals and gets excited over BABY DR. MARTENS. and CARDIGANS. and oh my god, is that a TUTU?
a parent-teacher meeting with frank attending for the first time in a while — the teacher is used to posh fee showing up in snug dresses and heels and they actually get along and have a dialogue and then one day frank decides to attend too and SUDDENLY there’s this huge man in black scowling in a chair way too small for him but he sits in it anyway. seeing his daughter’s drawings make him smile though, quick and gone.
frank having to take his daughter to the park for a mommy and me playdate because fee has an honest to god legit job now and she got called in on a saturday and these women are all fee’s friends and while they’ve SEEN photos of frank they’ve never experienced him. and here he is all six foot three of him, coming into the playground with his kid and he’s introducing himself bc fee made him and god he’s uncomfortable, is this what dads do, can they see my gun, shit.
frank castle tea parties with his daughter and her stuffed animals. enough said. frank castle sitting at tiny tables in tiny chairs, done.
frank and felicia being invited to a cook out and felicia telling him he can’t wear a hoodie and that shirt needs to be more inviting and goddammit no camo or cargo pants. frank doesn’t know how to interact with the other dads/husbands and nurses a beer near his wife the whole time, wanting to go home and clean his guns.
frank being an incredibly proud papa when his baby girl gets lead turkey during the thanksgiving play. he asked fee to show him how to record videos the night before so he could record the play.
frank castle getting up at three in the morning to feed the baby and walk around the apartment — shirtless, this is important — and bounce/hum her back to sleep so fee can get a few more hours of sleep.
frank castle reading ferdinand the bull to his daughter, doing his best to act out the voices and make them different from one another. she loves the faces he makes and giggle and asks for more.
frank cleaning his guns on the couch while his daughter is in her bouncy chair, enthralled by paw patrol on tv, while she chews on a frozen teething ring. frank may or may not be humming the theme song.
frank castle taking his baby to every movie she wants to see, no matter how silly.
frank castle at amusement parks with felicia and baby, riding the tea cups. FRANK CASTLE IN A TEA CUP.
frank castle letting his baby girl paint his nails. usually black.
frank castle reassuring fee he doesn’t mind her fuzzy legs when she gets too pregnant to shave them. he offers to do it for her, but she’s not gonna let the punisher lower himself to shave her legs. in all honesty, not worrying about it is a relief.
he’ll go out and get her ice cream at one in the morning if she wants it.
unbeknownst to anyone, frank castle gives great lower back massages.
frank castle giving people the stare of death when they catcall felicia.
frank castle buying her things she likes, even if just something she mentions in passing, like that enameled elephant she saw in a window while they were walking. she stopped to admire it, and then said what would i do with it, and kept walking with frank. next day, there it was, on their dresser. this happens FREQUENTLY.
frank castle in a hammock with fee + baby, rocking it with his foot, on a summer evening in their backyard.
frank castle unsure of how much money to give his kid on scholastic reading day, you know, that shit with the book fair, because fee said to just give her money, gives her a hundred bucks. she buys a lot of books.
