Papercastl - Love At First Gunshot

s/o for noticing that Karen shone her flashlight on Frank’s case files (from the trial, DD S2) right exactly when she said “It’s just adrenaline, I’m sure” so I also rewatched the scene and it is indeed his files

now i’m gonna think about this a lot too

I love how Matt says shit like "Frank! Stop it" during fights when Frank is killing people. He sounds like a pet owner scolding his misbehaving dog. It's like he's about to ask him to “Drop it!" and "Let the man go, Frank”. He's giving "I love my dog (Frank), but I just wish he would stop chewing on the furniture (killing people), you know?" energy.

i noticed they keep making karen wear ballet flats or little kitten heels so i looked up her height and omg she's 5'10 deb the stallion fr but they should have been putting her in 5-9in heels the whole so she can tower over all these men. intimidation tactics

If anything, I really feel as though that episode cemented the fact that despite their lingering feelings for one another, Matt and Karen are capable of being 'just friends'.

Frank and Karen are not. They will never be able to be around one another without emotional devastation following because their feelings are that strong. There is no such thing as ~casual~ for them, they can't just meet up for diner coffee and gossip because they can't pretend they don't want each other. Frank can't even look her in the eyes without laying his soul bare! There is no reality in which these two people are just casual buddies.

I think they will continue to be in each other's corner, but Karen walking away really cemented that she can't do the halfway in, halfway out thing that she can do with Matt. It's all or nothing.

Either Frank lets her in and the two of them are together for real, or she can't be in his life.

so now that they’ve confirmed that jessica jones is back for season 2 of born again…what are the chances we get scenes of her matt and frank being dumbasses together???

Fanfic is a free hobby.

It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.

Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.

You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.

You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.

Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?

Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?

I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.

Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.

Please don't ruin this for us.

Some of us need it.

You know what, Frank? I'm not buyin' it. I don't believe you don't care.

One thing I am sad that they didn't bring up in the final is Karen's feelings about Matt taking a bullet for Fisk because Fisk is someone who has ruined her life and Matt's life countless times and you can't tell me she would have nothing to say about it and I understand that is why she came back but you aren't even going to show her reaction to it all and I don't understand why they couldn't have brought it up but I did find it interesting that Frank was the one who asked him why he did it
