Hurt/comfort is my jam in fandom but IRL it's always more like hurt/discomfort because I have no idea how to deal with the pain of nonfictional people and when I'm hurt I just want to hedgehog up and be alone to snuggle my own tummy and sleep. I hover near sickbeds with large mugs of water because what the fuck else am I supposed to do? Thankfully, most of my friends know by now and tell me to bugger off when they get sneezly or sick or injured. Or sad, because hovering with a large mug of water and making helpless whimpery sounds in sympathy are literally my only caretaking skills.
I just wanted to share this, partially because fandom is such a wish fulfilment thing and I really wish I was better at helping out the people I love, but mainly because I wanted to put 'hurt/discomfort' out into the world.

Hurt/comfort is literally my favorite fanfiction trope.
I am also VERY BAD at comforting people IRL when they're in distress. Like I can talk to people calmly and tell them it's okay, but there have been times where I have literally fled the room or just stood around awkwardly. So don't feel bad!

Just wondering how many people out there might be interested in a holiday fic gift exchange?
just a shoutout to everyone who has written ot3 fic for the avocado squad, it is my jam and i'm so excited every time i see it on the meme!!!
Other than here and tumblr (which sucks on my old ancient mobile), where do you guys go for DD discussion? Whether they're news sites, meta, or anything else, I'd really love some recs.
Can somebody explain the Civil War storyline to a non-comics fan? (I read x-men which isn't really helpful here)
As it stands I can't see what the fight is about. Tony Stark thinks anybody running around in a costume should be registered, why does everybody have a problem with that? Currently anybody running around in a costume will be arrested and jailed if they're caught. Why is expecting to be registered so bad?
How would you even prove somebody is a superhero. You don't have to be a superhero, it doesn't show up in your DNA. Why didn't Spiderman go, oh since rampant viglantism is having a dreadful effect on law & order and general morality, I'll burn the costume and stop, and if anyone fleeing the police runs past me I'll just stick my foot out and trip them up.
Is there some issue or deeper problem here? I don't get it and I'd really like to because angst-filled fighting over points of principle where no one is exactly right and no one is exactly wrong makes my heart pitter-patter - but as it stands I'm mostly just confused.

Soooo... the thing about Civil War is that it doesn't necessarily make a whole lot of sense. Here it is explained by me though - this will likely be a loooong post.
First off, the 616 universe does not work like our world. Vigilantes are basically never arrested or jailed. The cops most often look the other way, even towards ones like Punisher who kill people, because... well a super-powered villain is not usually something a regular beat cop is gonna be able to handle, basically. Also, the vigilantes are not the only ones with secret identities - by the time Civil War rolls around, there are a few Avengers being sanctioned by higher authorities whose identities are unknown including Spider-Man.
It starts with Tony realizing that there is growing public sentiment against superheroes. People are starting to get bored of having them around and actually be bothered by them - they don't have a lot of accountability, there's not transparency with them and in the case of the ones whose identities are secret there's no way to, for example, hold them responsible or sue them for damages if they're causing problems. The public also starts to get annoyed that supervillains increasingly can't be held in prisons, the heroes refuse to kill them, and often the supervillains only exist and cause mayhem because of a beef with a hero to begin with. So things are tense.
In response to this, Tony and a secret cabal of higher-up heroes who don't normally work together (Reed Richards, Dr. Strange, Professor X, Black Bolt and Black Panther) all agree that actions need to be taken behind the scenes. They start working with the government to ensure that any legislation winds up in their favour and protects the community, and also jettison the Hulk into space. Because he basically represents everything the public hates about the heroes and they know they can't contain him.
Then, a group of young superheroes filming a reality TV show called The New Warriors stupidly chase a supervillain they think they can take into a school zone. It turns out the supervillain is super-juiced up on a new Mutant Growth Hormone that's emerging, and he explodes himself, taking almost all of the New Warriors except one member AND approximately 700 or so schoolchildren with him.
Tinder meet match, basically.
Tony has no choice but to immediately put the best possible government plan into action to register all heroes and disallow secret identities. The difference being that now, not only will vigilantes or local heroes potentially be arrested because law enforcement will be a must, there will also be government teams specifically put together to arrest and capture non-registered heroes.
Tony does this because he knows from his government contacts that the plans prior to his group's negotiations were very extreme - banning certain technologies altogether, chipping and tracking heroes, de-powering them or imprisoning them, etc. So to him registration is the best option and if they don't all go along with it, worse things are inevitable.
Steve, having not been let in on Tony's secret group or knowing this and not probably being willing to go along with it anyway which is why they didn't invite him, basically says "fuck you" to the government when they ask him to work with them to get heroes registered. He teams up with a bunch of the street heroes and heroes who object to go underground and fight the law.
So you then have a situation where Tony is backed into more and more of a corner by public sentiment calling for hero's heads and government legislation to be tougher and tougher, eventually building armor for the government and imprisoning his own friends who he can't make understand that he's trying to help them. And Steve can't back down either because registration represents everything he's against as a strong libertarian who believes that you shouldn't disincentivize people from doing the right thing and helping people if you can.
They nearly kill each other. Tony kind of wins, but then it's revealed that the Skrulls were secretly manipulating the whole thing the whole time and everyone in the 616 pretty much forgets any of it ever happened. (In fact, Tony gets his mind straight-up wiped so he literally forgets it all). The end?
It could have potentially been a really great "Who watches the Watchmen?" type of thing. Instead it was super-angsty whump if you're into that kind of thing and kind of a mess after the fact.

Just learned that some gentlefailer from fail_fandomanon has taken account of dw fandom's needs and has created an anon meme that seems to have pretty reasonable rules to keep people from ripping each other's heads off.
First post is here: http://marvelanon.dreamwidth.org/1211.html?page=1#comments
They are looking for mods and you guys rock so maybe someone here would want to?
Also just a call to the anon meme in general to get more Daredevil stans up in there lol

What type of gun was it and how many rounds would it hold?
The gun that Wesley took from Francis, which was in turn taken by Karen, was a Taurus PT92AFS. Standard, it has an 18 round rapacity (17 in the mag, one in the chamber).
Meeeeeeeme I have a friend who worked for Marvel's legal team this summer, and like, helped draw up Elodie's contract and shit, and he recently gave me so much delicious gossip from the JJ filming....
......and I don't think it'd be right to share it with the world, esp. since it's a bit wanky about one of the leads. So I'm going to sit here stewing in the secondhand drama without having anyone to share it with. Sigh.

Have you discovered any good new music lately, meme?
Do you have anything you like to listen to while writing?
Anon is looking for some new jams.

This anon is fond of soundtracks. I can't tell you how many times I've written while listening to the Daredevil soundtrack. I also love the How To Train Your Dragon soundtracks; and the Sherlock soundtracks. Doctor Who has some really good stuff too.
I try not to listen to music with lyrics while writing or I'll lose focus and sing along. But I do have a fondness for the band Birds of Tokyo, especially their songs 'Plans'; 'Wild at Heart' and 'Lanterns'. Definitely recommend them! =)

I feel your pain... November 20th seems so far away.
Also, though, why is Netflix debuting three awesome shows in November? Aziz Ansari's new sitcom AND With Bob and David both drop in the two weeks before Jessica Jones! So how am I supposed to also have a real life... it's crazy.

Anybody planning on getting some fic-writing done for nanowrimo? I signed up for the first time in years and I'm hoping it'll motivate me to get some major writing done on my fic. ^_^
I'm hoping to at least complete my current fic and write another one! We'll see how it goes!
Friendly reminder that sign-ups close on Nov 1st!

Once you find the first issue in a series, it's pretty easy to find the rest, as the comics reader employs a feature similar to Netflix's auto-play, queuing up the next issue as soon as you finish the last. It's just finding the first one that can be a problem...
Normally it works pretty well of you google the start year of the series you're looking for. You can also try writers' names, but that doesn't tend to work as well. The Marvel search function is just generally pretty broken, though.
Good luck!

So I recently got into a brand new band and while I find myself relating SO much of their music to Daredevil, there's this song : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg1HTgzHruc
It is just perfect for Matt and I'm so desperate for someone to come squee with me about how perfect it is. Because it's so perfect.
(Or suggest other good Matt songs. I'm open!)

Evil by Andrew Jackson Jihad is very Matt's internal thought processes
"No one will know how evil I really am
Cause I like to wear disguises
And I like to disguise my plans
No one will know how evil I really am"

I have set up a side email, and tumblr. I'll take over any DD kink stuff with a mod panel on there. The ability to block trolls, a panel of mods of various genders/races , maybe even a disabled mod. If the defenders end up taking over this website, I've got a back up.
The voting isn't even closed yet, could you cool your fucking jets? You're seriously being obnoxious as fuck posting this in multiple places and it's very insulting to the mod who has been nothing but wonderful and responsive to the community here.
Wait and see how things go before you jump ship and declare it on fire, maybe? And maybe check if there's even smoke? Nobody's seen the show yet or met the JJ fans to know if this place will go to "Defenders hell".
I personally don't see what your problem is with a separate post for Jessica Jones prompts and us being inclusive of the Defenders, but you're entitled to your opinion. There's no reason to be so rude about it though.

Do you know who stared the whole Foggy is bi thing? I'm totally cool with it, but I am just curious as to where it came from?
I assume it's the part where he calls Matt good looking approximately three seconds after he meets him. Like, a straight dude might do that, but maybe not with so much enthusiasm.
Hey anons! Yuletide sign ups close tomorrow (depending on your time zone). Daredevil comics, Spider-Gwen, and Daredevil TV RPF are all qualifying fandoms. (If you were thinking of signing up please do, right now I'm the only person offering and requesting Daredevil RPF.)

Does anyone know where one can get ALias, and other Jessica Jones comics?
I would rather pay for it, but I'm open to scans?

I don't know where you can pay for it, but here's a site that requires no downloading: http://viewcomic.com/alias-001/
And http://getcomics.info has them for download. There's also probably a torrent on kickass torrents.
(Obviously if you can afford to pay for it legally, do so, etc., etc..)

Matt: From now on, we will be using code names. You can address me as Eagle One.
Elektra, code name -- Been There, Done That.
Karen is -- Currently Doing That.
Marci is -- It Happened Once in a Dream;
Foggy, code name -- If I Had To Pick a Dude.
Frank is -- Eagle Two.
Frank: Oh thank God.

I seem to remember seeing a prompt for Dad!Frank that I can't find in his delicious tag. It wasn't the 'babysitting deaged avocados' one, it was a more general 'what if Frank with kids' that had a couple options in it, what if Frank's original kids lived and only Maria was killed, what if Mpreg, I think some other ideas? IIRC there was a good discussion thread but no formal fill.
Thanks in advance if anyone can find it!

I really hope you plan to fill this one :3
I really hope you plan to fill this one :3
Okay so you started a fill, wrote a few parts but then you lost your muse because of whatever reason but now you're stuck cause time has passed and ... Urrgghhh how do you usually un-stuck?
Re-read the prompt, re-read what you wrote, sit back and run what you wrote through your imagination again. Focus on where the characters are and where they're going. What does the character want? What are they willing to do to get it/avoid it?
(optional - how awkward/painful/heartwarming/hilarious can you make getting what they want be?)

I figured people might want to play along with this thread. What are you hoping to see from Neflix Daredevil either in season 2 or onward? What storylines from the comics would you like adapted? What characters would you like to see fleshed out?
My picks:
-I want Bullseye so bad. He's such a weird little fucker. I love him so much. He's just so unabashedly, cartoonishly, scarily evil. I love watching Matt hit his horrible face lol
-Adaptation of Born Again. This is the storyline I want the most of anything honestly. I think the Netflix adaptation could nicely refine its rough edges and I want to see Matt completely out of his mind more than most things.
-I want Claire to become like the official Night Nurse like as a job so we get to hang out with her all the time :D
-I want Typhoid Mary to have a plot because I luff her. Another occasion where we find someone beating the shit out of Matt, hurray!

I would LOVE to see a Netflix version of Born Again. I can't really get myself into comics but the storyline sounds exactly like something I'd love. Just imagine all the sad suffering Matt. All of it.
Dream of dreams would be if they make a Night Nurse series and it's also where all the Defenders finally cross over. Because Claire's already going to be in all of their shows, so why not? Plus, superhero-themed medical drama. That would be awesome.
Possible spoilers: From the screenshots of the S2 teaser trailer, it seems like they're doing that comic plot where the Punisher chains Matt up and duct tapes him to a gun. That makes me a very happy person.
