Tagged by @weinsanedreamer55 Rules: list five things you like about yourself. then, let us know what your favorite feature is and maybe post a pic of it! after that, go ahead and tag some people to spread the love! 1. My sarcasm/sense of humor. At this point, I don't even know if I'm joking or not most of the time and I think that's beautiful. 2. My protective streak. I will do anything for my family and friends, no exceptions. 3. My surfing, I guess? Does that count? There aren't a lot of people that can go out and just do that. 4....this is harder than I thought. I'm...learning to speak Russian and I think that's pretty cool? 5. A year ago I would've said my writing but...maybe...I can make a killer cup of coffee. Like. Ridiculously good. And I appreciate that. I couldn't pick which of these I wanted to post so have me and tiny!dean, my Halloween Purge Victim costume, and me being super pumped about Coffee Nut M&Ms. I don't really have a favorite feature. Tagging @theseprezelsaremakingmethirsty @punkashale @pterawaterse @osointricate @boazpriestly @dean-bangs-cas-in-the-impala and whoever else sees this

I want everyone to get one of these! @meinhiding & @bubblesinapocket have been focusing on our lovely squad for the last two days and my dream is for as many people as possible to do the same.
Now, for one of my favorite creators: @significantowl
This lovely genius is also the one who runs @daredevilbingo and has made bingo cards for dozens of people for several years. I was lucky enough to be paired with her for our Karedevil Secret Santa last year (as in, she made ME something) and I was just giddy over it. She’s probably the ultimate DD multishipper, focusing on every ship except for Kastle (I think?) and she writes beautifully, for example:
In these pages: ficlets/drabbles - Chapter 3
“In the night, love tastes like copper on his tongue, slides slick and warm down the back of his throat. It’s pure. Elemental.
(He bled for Karen before he even really knew her. When he thinks of that it pleases him: a matter of record, incontrovertible. A steady, honest flame that can never be doused.)”
Chapter 4, an absolutely priceless Core 3 at work ficlet in which Karen comes into work sick...
“Oh my God,” Foggy wails. “Oh my God.” He closes his eyes, clearly collecting himself. “All right, here’s the plan. You’re in there, Murdock -” Matt raises his hands in surrender, and allows himself to be pushed all the way through the office door, which then firmly closes in his face. “I’m going to see if I can charm our friends across the hall out of any cans of Lysol they might have, and you, Karen, you are going to go home, think about what you’ve done, and decide what your role is going to be when this all comes to its inevitable conclusion.”
“What?”
“Are you going to hold Matt down,” Foggy clarifies, “or are you going to throw the pills down his throat, because when he gets this it’s gonna take both of us, Page, don’t doubt it for an instant.”
How much of it is Fire - Starts with Karen transfixed by videos of DD, and delves into her understanding of his violent ways in parallel to her own. I’ve always loved their dynamic- Karen feels this connection to Matt long before she knows who he really is, and she will vehemently defend her Man in Black to those she loves no matter the consequences. This gorgeously describes her thoughts as she tries to find more, even after knowing who he is, and how she wishes to see him in his element again.
I started reading this for this express purpose of picking some new stories I haven’t read, but as per usual, I don’t have the time today. Here’s a sample of what is making it even more difficult to bookmark instead of just read:
She thinks of it that way purposefully. Matt's rage. The same woman who puts six bullets in a man can be transfixed by the magic of a ceiling made of glittering lights; the same man who wears one suit to punch assholes into the ground can wear another while he’s putting them away in court, and still quietly, desperately, miss the sky.
She never believed that part was a lie.
Finally, my favorite story (I’m partial, I guess), my Secret Santa gift, In these City Streets, an AU (YAYYYY) in which Matt and Foggy own a sandwich shop and Karen is a loyal customer. @significantowl went well beyond the required word count and gave us an AU masterpiece, with Core 3 interactions we all deserve, flirting we need, and action. I have a googledoc somewhere in my drive with dozens of lines copied so I could give her a proper comment (yeah, I’m ridiculously late) but I can’t find it, so I’ll leave it at this: If you love AU’s (and you should), this is what you need. Here’s a lovely sample:
Scent first. Karen flooded Matt’s senses whenever she arrived at the restaurant, but it always started with scent: sweet, warm vanilla over traces of soothing lavender. Then sound, the crisp click of her heels on their hardwood floor, and the light, quick, slightly over-caffeinated beat of her heart.
Back in the kitchen, up to his elbows in a bowl of triple chocolate muffin batter, Matt listened as Karen placed her order with Foggy. A ham and swiss, a bottle of water, and a side of Theo Nelson's famous potato salad. She didn't usually come in this early, before the lunch rush began; in fact, she normally didn't show up until the day was winding down.
Half expecting Karen to end her order with the words “to go”, Matt felt his lips curve up when instead he heard her heels clicking their way towards her usual corner booth. He poured semisweet chocolate chips into the batter - the milk and dark chocolate chips were already in - and stirred. Out at her booth, Karen unshouldered a heavy bag, dropping it onto the table; a few seconds later, her laptop whirred to life.
Sounded like she was settling in.
Felt like Matt was smiling.
Basically, if you love good writing, sentences that are practically poetry, and amazing characterization, you should read everything significantowl has ever written. She helps keep the fandom going and we are lucky to have her.

I want everyone to get one of these! @meinhiding & @bubblesinapocket have been focusing on our lovely squad for the last two days and my dream is for as many people as possible to do the same.
There are a million reasons @lifeisjustalonelyhighway is amazing, but I’m going to stick to just a few:
She is one of the most reliable people when it comes to working on these events, and she’ll do anything you ask her to do.
She’s one of our best cheerleaders and she’s a complete and total sweetheart.
She has an incredible eye for capturing the intricacies of a scene. From subtle touches and looks to smiles to pain and angst. She finds these amazing parallels from scenes over the course of several seasons that just make you go, “whoa” because you didn’t catch that, and you can’t help but look at that scene differently now.
She is incredibly talented. When I’m in a creativity drought, I go straight to her tumblr for gifsets to give me feels. She has spent countless hours cutting scenes together and making masterpieces. Give her song lyrics/quotes/poetry/lines from the show and she’ll craft a gorgeous gifset. Need some examples?
From important scenes: One Two Three Four Five Six
To parallels: One Two Three Four Five
To requests One Two Three Four Five
To angst, oh such lovely angst: One Two Three Four Five
The takeaway? @lifeisjustalonelyhighway is wonderful, and she helps keep this squad going ❤
