I didn't want to bring it up on the thread and upset anyone and derail anything like an ass, and it's not something I want to run to the mod about to delete the prompt post, but "spazz" and "spazzing" are pretty offensive ableist terms. And i'm quite surprised to see it in a fandom with a strong awareness of crappy ableist behaviour.
I am disabled so I am personally offended, but it's like calling something bad "gay". A gay person doesn't have to hear it, for the term used in that way to be insulting or offensive. Please keep that in mind in future.

So I'm watching Daredevil again (againagainagainagain) and every time I do I notice new-to-me things and end up with more questions. Does this happen to you guys? I'm watching this round with the vision-impaired audio commentary and it's wonderful, adding details that aren't obvious or stated otherwise.
Like the scene with Foggy waking up in Marci's bed after he has the argument with Matt? Apparently Marci has silk sheets, too. I mean, of COURSE Marci would have silk sheets because Marci likes buying expensive things as a status symbols, but I thought it was an interesting placement and timing to note the similarity and also highlight the difference between Matt and Marci. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but the people who created DD spent a LOT of time on throwaway details (which I love) so...
Also, during the Stick episode, Matt calls out the exact type of guns Nobu's men are carrying, complete with suppressors. Like, wtf? When and where has Matt studied weapons? And he tells Stick like Stick doesn't have the capabilities to know those details, so maybe Stick didn't teach that to Matt? I know Matt is hella intelligent and the comics show he's self-taught about any number of subjects, but guns are practical knowledge, not something you can get from a book. Did someone at the precinct teach Matt how to handle guns? He can certainly disarm a gun in no time flat, too.
Matt also makes a comment about 'men of financial privilege' like he's known a lot of them. Uh, from Landman & Zack or...? University? Obvs he's not going to come across a lot of men of financial privilege during his poor orphan youth, but he makes that comment to Foggy who doesn't seem to have the same empirical experience. I'd kinda expect them to have similar experience from L&Z, I guess, but maybe not?
Sorry, I'm just kinda rambling here but I swear every time I watch this show I notice something new and then have questions about it. If anybody has opinions about any of my questions, please help me out. A new perspective is always a good thing.

Does anyone know why this whole idea blew up all over the meme?
Like I could never see Foggy raping anyone.

Comics! What are your favourite non-Marvel-Unlimited arcs?
(Anonymous) 2016-01-13 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)I'm pretty much through with all the Unlimited stuff. which arcs/crossovers/annuals that aren't on there are worth hunting down?
Is is cultural appropriation for Matt to be Catholic? Because he's white and the church is a very Hispanic heavy group? Like the Pope is Hispanic.
*sobs*
I've ran out of fluff to read. Someone hold me!

Does anyone here have any tips for how to respond to a comment that you don't want on a fic?
For the record, the comment is along the lines of 'Great story!! Love the characters! Now put in x y z q r t!' when x etc are all things that you don't intend to put in the story or have already clarified aren't going to happen.
For the moment all I've done is say 'thanks for the compliment' but, uh, should I even elaborate on 'it's cool that you want x-t but that's not going to happen'?

Guess Time: Could The Defenders's plot be about Shadowland?
(Anonymous) 2016-01-20 06:35 am (UTC)(link)I was looking for something to read yeterday and i found the Shadowland series from Daredevil, those are 10 issues where Matt by something that happened is named leader of The Hand and once there he has to go through some ritual and while he's at it someone sets him up and things happens and people believe it's him.
Then something take his body and he goes berserk wanting to rule Hell's kitchen by killing every bad guy and anyone who interferes with him.
My point is that this can be an interesting plot for The Defenders, Shadowland involved many of the local heroes, we saw Iron Fist and Luke Cage, Spiderman and Ghost Rider and of course Elektra and many others.
Foggy was there aong with others than can easily be replaced by Jessica Jones, Trish and others regulars from other shows.
I found it interesting enough. The only question is if they will use the supernatural aspect of it (Matt is supposed to be possessed by some demon) in the show or just keep it like your local people v the goverment fight.

There's a fic I'm looking for that was on A03 where Foggy makes some sort of deal with a deamon/supernatural being to switch his and Matt's places so he ends up blinded instead. But then things go worse cause he's never trained by Stick and never uses his senses but him and Matt are still best friends.
Anyone know it?

Trying to find an alliance can be like playing asshole roulette
Would an alliance of memers go better? Is it less intimidating to work with players after you've chatted to them about the things you'd each do to Matt's bubble butt?
Would it crash and burn because its not anonymous enough? (I'm still trying to figure out the logistics)
AnonymousDaredevils is an available name if you would rather not have the word 'kinkmeme' in the title.
What's your take on it? Whether you'd be down for it or you think it's a stupid/logistically unsound idea, drop a comment

I found this little gem in a couple of the Marvel handbooks, but for the life of me, I can't find the comic issues where Matt is a cook. Can anyone point me towards them? I only know of two instances - at the end of Born Again, and at some point in Secret Wars.
from the previous thread I saw many of you are around my age (I'm 27) and, Idk, maybe there is some grad stud as well who'd like to share some infos to another grad student here..
to those of you who have experience in writing a thesis or something like that, do you think it's possibile to write like 30%, 40% of your thesis in less than a week??
how do you motivate yourself when all you see is papers that you hate, taht you have just skimmed through and which also are not in your native language?
I'm 100% lost. and I wanna graduate but I'm so fed up

Watching Daredevil for the first time and without anywhere to flail
(Anonymous) 2016-01-29 12:01 am (UTC)(link)So I am hugely behind the times, here, and have only just started watching Daredevil; I've somehow managed to stay pretty unspoiled due to not having friends who are into this sort of thing in close proximity, but this also means that I am now without anywhere to talk about the fact that I am now watching and loving it. So I came here, on the basis that I can easily be ignored and so hopefully shouldn't annoy anyone, and maybe somebody might appreciate my incoherent rambles!
I've just finished episode 5 (World on Fire) and, wow, I wasn't expecting huge numbers of explosions at the end of that episode, that's for sure! They did have the major plus of interrupting that supremely awkward 'touch my face' thing, so I'm on board for that - I was also super on board for Karen and Foggy jaunting around lawyering and fixing people's sinks, but that dinner was getting kind of uncomfortable. It was an episode of weird and uncomfortable dinners, now I think about it, because I don't know how I feel about the Fisk and Vanessa thing, but it was kind of making me cringe.
Actually, I would be up for more lawyering (and, hey, fixing people's sinks), because I do like people being good at their jobs. And sticking it to the corporations, I'm a fan of that too. Also more Karen. And more Ben! I am always up for the plucky investigative journalist. These two need to shenanigan around together more, clearly, and find out Useful Things and expose Fisk. And maybe not buy anymore extra office equipment, though I am pretty entertained about Karen's 'I tried to blend in at an auction and have a job lot of phones!'. Undercover work is hard.
(Though, what on earth is going on with Ben's mysteriously ill wife? What does she have? Is it lethal? I'm pretty sure that's not how hospitals work?)
On the note of hospitals, I am currently deeply concerned that Claire has lost her job for not being at work in an... undefinable amount of time. How much time has passed? A bunch of the episodes seem to be happening close together, but on the other hand there was enough time for Bowling Ball Man to get arrested and his case to go to trial, so there must have been a few months in there. I am concerned about her ability to continue paying the bills. I love Claire (also, HI Rosario Dawson! I am always happy to encounter you in things) and am majorly impressed by her patience and ability to not bat an eyelid, pretty much, when weirdos bleed all over her furniture. Good job Claire, please stay safe (and keep your job. Also, maybe get some more friends?).
Bill paying ability concerns me about most of the characters, actually. Okay, so Karen has just been given money from her ex-corrupt employers, but surely Matt and Foggy must be up to their eyeballs in student loans? Unless they are secretly wealthy (which, I don't see 'my mom wanted me to be a butcher' as coming from a wealthy background, though it would be hilarious if Foggy's mum was all about 'truly being one of the common people!' or something while contemplating which of her mansions to spend the weekend in. I guess Matt maybe got a massive insurance payout from having toxic chemicals dumped on him or his dad was actually making ridiculously amounts of money with his fights, but this all seems kind of unusual really) they need some more clients ASAP. I don't think Mysteriously Large Checks from People Mysteriously Working For The Bad Guy are going to last for that long (...actually, does this whole thing come up again? I hope it does)
ANYWAY, sorry for flailing my incoherent rambles over the anon meme - I shall hopefully repay you all at some point with fic - I shall now return to actually watching and see what the next episode brings! (I'm guessing nothing good for Remaining-Sort-Of-Inept-Bad-Guy-Russian-Gangster-Type, who is having a seriously shitty day, it must be said).

My new year's resolution was to leave more comments to authors. Authors are always asking for people to leave comments and I love to read fics so win-win, right? I've been leaving chirpy happy comments on almost every fic I've read, sometimes even on each chapter, and most authors reply to a comment, even if it's just to say thanks for commenting. Which I think is nice? Polite? It's not necessary, I guess, but there's a lot of authors who don't reply to my comments ever, and then I start to feel like I'm bothering them by leaving comments so I try to leave shorter comments, or if they reply to others and not me then I feel like they don't want ME commenting on their fics. So I stop. Not out of spite or anger but embarrassment because I feel like maybe my comments are too long and I should just shut up. Does this ever happen to you guys?
if you could write something into the season two script what would it be
(Anonymous) 2016-01-30 08:19 am (UTC)(link)what it says on the tin. suspend all disbelief for a couple seconds and just tell me things you want to happen, things you'd sell your soul to see. however likely or unlikely, if you could write something into the script what would you add??
personally, i'd kill to see every missing scene from nelson vs murdock. i wanna see half-dead matt trying to take a swing at foggy, i wanna see foggy calling claire, i wanna see what went down when claire turned up, i wanna see foggy losing his mind about the whole thing. when it picks up foggy is seething, i want to see foggy's emotional rollercoaster leading up to so-mad-i-could-kill-you (honestly i'd kill to see a four hour all-inclusive extended directors cut of nelson vs murdock, i can't tell you how many times i've watched the matt + foggy parts of that episode)
i'm also a big big big fan of the college flashbacks, i would pay good money to watch a daredevil prequel series that's all about matt and foggy in college.
there are probably a million other things i'm not remembering right now but what about you guys??

Guys, please help!
I've fallen in love with Waid's run of Daredevil but I have no idea how to buy the real-life paper printed versions. There are like two different types of volumes? And I thought Waid's was volume 3 and 4, but the bookshops list Waid's volumes as 1, 2, 3, 4, ... And I'm trying to get as few individual books as possible, so I don't want to buy a million weekly issues.
I really want to have all of Waid's DD work. I just have no idea what to buy. :'( Can anyone help me out?

Hey,
I was just wondering, this excellent comics recaps tumblr was recently announced here - http://daredevilrecaps.tumblr.com/ (I think one or two of you mods might be the one maintaining it, right?) and was wondering, is this gonna get more content? The idea is perfect, the comments hilarious and the fandom could *really* benefit from the Rosalind storyline being shown and explained. :)

Just a thought spawned off the other conversation re: comments. I was just wondering, what do you think of that feature on Ao3 that you reply directly underneath a comment, and that counts toward your total comment count? I also post on fanfic.net, where you'd reply as PMs. I can see pro's and con's for the way Ao3 does it.
Pro:
- It fluffs the review count. That means authors have an incentive to reply, which is nice as a reviewer
- you can reply to anonymous comments
- some reviewers may have interesting questions, and that way, everyone can read them
Con:
- it fluffs the review count. That might make a fic more visible than another fic, simply because one of the authors has more time
- you might want to reply to something on a delicate topic privately and NOT where everyone can read it
- it gives you the impression if you visibly reply to *one* reviewer, it would be fair to reply to all, even though there's not really much you can say to 'more plz'
