I could swear that somewhere back there, probably in Round 4 or 5 or so, there was a prompt for a de-aged Matt that the Avengers were training as a superhero-to-be, and he eventually disappears and is finally discovered, perfectly safe and very happy, with Foggy, who, of course, sees Matt Murdock as being worth more than (just) Daredevil. (Presumably the Avengers had played catch with an idiot ball, or something, to be going in a child-warrior-training direction in the first place.) I even contributed a post about how Bruce might have sneaked him out.

Honestly, my brain has been coming up with cracky Bruce & child Matt stories for months based on the sudden feels I got considering how Bruce would feel about a post-Stick Matt, skipping the deaging and just doing timeline adjusting instead. (I've even written a few paragraphs, even though I have trouble writing crack. And trust me, some of what my brain has spewed out is very much crack.)

...and now I can't find that original prompt. witchry9's story today-- http://archiveofourown.org/works/5345615 , in case you haven't read it, it's great and features Avengers with a de-aged Matt! --reminded me of it, and I went back to look at it again, and I CAN'T FIND IT.

Can anyone help?

What yo guys think.
I kinda like the twist of the memory thing (tho i think it's been used a lot)
And it had a cliffi already. Is the kid working for the bad guy or he is just playing him? or he doesbnt know about Matt ebing DD and he will go to take down Matt not knowing everything.
Also Foggy is mad at Matt. I didnt see that one coming but for sute it ahd to with the memory thing, I hope it will be explored more in the next issues.

And i like that they look older both are showing they're age.

The memory things has been used a lot but i'm not oppossed to it as long as it's well done and not a half ass explanation for it.

I feel like whatever spell (because magic had to be involved) was used. It erased everyone's memories that includes Kirsten in the bunch and Foggy only let Matt as his only support.

I do get where Foggy is coming from, We still dont know what the spell implies or did to those closes to them. We dont know what they know about Foggy or if they think he's dead or somethign and teh spell didnt erased that part of what went down. I guess that will be explain in further issues we are just in the first one.

Also i dont think the kid knows Matt is DD so he will eb in for a surprise and his suit uses bateries. How cool is that?... give me five of those please.

And last thing i really liked is that they look older. What age are they supposed to have? 30, 35?

I thought the art and writing were excellent. I love Daredevil and Blindspot. I'm intrigued about whatever Matt did to "reset" things. But I'm super unhappy that whatever he did hurt Foggy AGAIN. And I'm IRATE over the prosecutor BS. IRATE.

does Foggy ever actually call Matt "Matty" in the show or is that a collective fandom hallucination. I see it all the time but I don't remember it ever actually happening.

It doesn't happen in the show, but it does in the comics.

Not sure why fanfic writers making something up is a "hallucination" though... I thought making things up about existing characters is pretty much the point of fanfic.

oh, I didn't mean it offensively? Maybe just a bad word choice-- I don't think it's a bad thing, I was just referring to how ubiquitous is. And I didn't realize it happens in the comics, thanks!!

I have so many questions after this! Like what exactly did the spell do to erase everyone's memory? Why did Matt feel like he needed to separate out his two lives again? What happened to him in Secret Wars?? Why is Matt such a self-isolating hardass again??? GIVE ME ALL THE ISSUES NOW

I like Blindspot but I can't wait to meet the guy under the mask. I like how Blindspot and Daredevil are so formal to each other, I can't figure out how long they've know each other yet.

I mean, all my previous reservations about his being a prosecutor still stand, but it's the first issue so. And I wouldn't be surprised if Foggy will be out of the way for a while until this run is more established.

I was thinking earlier today about how I came to be aware of my kinks. Mostly ended up recalling episodes of cartoons, Carry On films, and one particularly cruel instalment of The Numskulls where the Numskulls had a fight in Edd's arm and a doctor ended up giving him an injection in the bum, but it was an interesting thought journey. (I kept that copy of the Numskulls for YEARS, and when my parent threw it out because it was scruffy I had what might well have been the only tantrum of my very laid-back childhood.)

So my question is, meme, how did you learn about your kinks?

I used to think that I was just very concerned for Wesley's health in that scene in The Princess Bride where he's like strapped down and tortured? But I'm pretty sure I was just, like, Developing Thoughts. Bondage-y thoughts. At a questionably young age.

I think I enjoyed Vegeta being tortured and begging for his life and being humiliated a little too much when I was a kid, hahah.

Tbh I think Matt is currently a prosecutor in an elevator shaft because Foggy kicked him out of their partnership and he's overcompensating. I mean it's very early for speculation but that's the exact vibe I got.

AYRT

Sorry. I'm really bad at coming off snarky, even when I don't necessarily mean to. I wasn't offended, just puzzled.

Here you go ; http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/3230.html?thread=7238814#cmt7238814

AYRT

I'm still giving it a chance, but when he was talking to that witness, I was just cringing the entire time. I fight hard for criminal justice reform, and prosecutorial overreach and bias is just such a huge problem.

I'm hoping this isn't going to turn into another lionization of our CJ system. It was so meaningful to me to actually have a non-smarmy criminal defense lawyer as a protagonist. I hope Soule surprises me and addresses some of my concerns, so my rage can land on a beloved character for making yet another major misstep as an overcompensation to his disaster of a personal life, instead of on the creative team for robbing me of a favorite hero in favor of promoting the prison industrial complex like most crime fiction.

OP: Thank you so much! That's it, exactly. Wonderful!

I'm 40 and still learning and really uncomfortable with the whole thing. LOL
The things that turn me on sometimes terrify me.
Yes.
Weslesys torture scene was a defining moment I think.
As was the movie Dangerous Liasons
I'll go into a fic not expecting to be as affected by it as I am and then... think. Hmm.
And it is not anything I've ever felt comfortable admitting to in real life.

I sort of got the sense reading it that Matt going so overboard with the witness was a sign of something that happened in the 8 months that we missed? Like, that Matt becoming a DA and being that hellbent of this new way of doing things was a response to a specific event that sent him in a new direction, part of what made him fall out with Foggy and decide he couldn't be both Matt and Daredevil in public anymore?

We'll see. But to me it read as so obviously out of character to Matt that I think there's something else going on there.

My kink discovery was a two-fold sort of process.

It was fanfiction that actually made me comfortable with sex and sexuality - with reading about it and with identifying what turns me on and doesn't and my fantasies. Before fanfiction, I never would have considered slash or any of the really kinky stuff I read now. And every time I think I've got it figured out, I feel like I read a new fic that makes be be like "Hello! That's now a thing. Huh."

However, on the actual IRL side of things, it took me a long, long time to realize that I'm actually ace. And that having private fantasies and being turned on was different than being at all interested ever in enacting them or even wanting to be with another person that way at all. That's my actual (non)kink in practice, and it took watching the awesome documentary (A)Sexual, going onto the Aven forums, and unfortunately a lot of really, truly epically bad sexual experiences for me to figure that out. Because that is one sexual thing that is essentially never portrayed in the media at all for people to be able to have that aha! moment (unless it's, like, the Big Bang Theory, and then it's unfortunately portrayed as abnormal or as a symptom of a larger mental illness such as autism or social anxiety disorder. And don't even get me started on how virginity-shaming plays into all of that). So yeah...

Not exactly the answer you were probably looking for, but I wanted to share it anyway.

And just to head off anything that people want to comment on about me stating that I can both be turned on and have kinks and be ace, or ace being a kink... well, think what you want. Agree to disagree I guess.

But lots of ace people still masturbate or have private fantasies that they have no interest in actually fulfilling, especially if they're not sex-repulsed. And while being ace is not really a kink per se, it's certainly outside the sexual norm. That's my take on it at least.

.... Huh.

I think you just helped me figure out I might also be Ace, anon.

(Every single thing I've read on asexuality is like "You are never turned on, ever" and I'm like: "But what if you still don't want to have sex with anyone????")

AYRT - :D

That's also why it took me so long to understand it too. For years I felt that I didn't fit in the ace category, and I let people convince me that I just hadn't met the right person yet, or that there must be something medically wrong, or that I needed to just be drunk enough or high enough or relaxed enough and eventually, like magic, I'd suddenly get it.

And then I talked to some other ace people and watched the documentary. And there are plenty of ace people who aren't sex-repulsed or only enjoy sex as a pure fantasy. It kickstarted a journey of self-acceptance and understanding that I'm really grateful for.

So I'm glad to have helped you realize that. Welcome to the club!

So a prompt discussion that turned into a discussion about Hells Kitchen vs. Queens vs. other locations in New York City inspired me to go hunting for some good Marvel resources.

Here's a podcast featuring the Bowery Boys (who also have a great podcast where they talk about Hamilton/Burr in NYC) where they talk about Marvel Comics relationship in general with NYC.

Here's an interesting infographic that lists all of the fake businesses and corporations that exist within the Marvel comics universe, if you're looking for a company to reference:

http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2015/07/marvel-comics-gets-down-to-business-in-infographic-map/

Also, I sort of made this as a reference for myself:

https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zlEeen4JZNa0.k-IkxiZ-2bkc&usp=sharing

It's a Google map that outlines various MCU landmarks in NYC - Hell's Kitchen is there, as are a few sites from Jessica Jones, Clint Barton's comic-book Bed Stuy apartment, Stark Tower and Spider-Man's entire borough just to give a sense of scale.

Soule has mentioned things being slowly unearthed over the course of the comic to let us know what happened so I think that whatever led to Matt being an aggressive DA in an elevator shaft was a major, major thing. Like, he had a successful practice and a great support system and he was comfortable with himself. . .now he's isolated and again prosecuting on the cheap in an elevator shaft. Matt's worked long and hard since Born Again for financial stability. If nothing else, he wouldn't give that up easily.

I dunno. In interviews, Soule has given Waid praise multiple times as well as other writers. I think he knows full well the task he's taking on since Daredevil has been written by so many Important Comics Writers. So I trust him and I think he is fully aware that post Secret Wars Matt is going to inspire a LOT of questions.

Matt's been financially destitute more than once since Born Again.
