Yeah, I find that now that I'm "old" (28, lol) I've gotten better at judging ages relative to mine. So before I got into the fandom, I just pegged Matt, Karen and Foggy's ages somewhere between 30-35. But then I got into fandom and people were throwing around ages as young as 24 as a viable option and I was like: ???? But... but.... they all have crow's feet and forehead wrinkles and thinning hair. They're not in their twenties XD
Undergrad: 18-22 law-school: 22-25? one-year internship: 26? Start of season one: 27? End of season one: 28?
And that's assuming he didn't take some kind of gap year between high-school and undergrad, or between undergrad and law school. It also ignores the fact that he was 9 when he was blinded, and then there was presumably a few years that passed after in which Jack died and Stick trained him, and then 20 years pass between then and Stick comes back.
If you'd like to link pack to the prompt your filling in the notes, but don't want to have the whole long url showing, just do this:
It's the same concept as when you do italics or bold things. You just type and then type whatever text you want for the link here, and then close it off with (url) and it'll make a nice little link thingy for you~
Third for which fandom? Both of my Inception fics have since been deleted, alas, mostly likely in a moment of panic but partially because I felt like they were dragging my other work down, haha. Augh, 100k?! I have never written something that's 100k just all by itself.
Re: Which of your favorite pairings (if any) would you like to see become canon?
...I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY THERE OKAY I WANT FRIENDSHIP. I am in such a minority in every fandom because I always, always, always prefer the platonic route except for in, like, sitcoms.
I'm still "young" I suppose (I mean, nineteen's not that young???) but I got pretty good at judging ages correctly because of loving characters in sitcoms like Frasier, where the youngest main character is in his late thirties when the series starts out, haha.
Anyway. I don't know where this rambling came from, what I'm trying to say was that I assumed Matt was 30+. I go with 32 for Matt (like Charlie), around 35 for Foggy (which would mean Elden's got a couple of years on him but meh), and 30 for Karen.
And somewhere in their late sixties for Ben (RIP) and Doris, somewhere in seventies-or-does-he-even-really-age-maybe-he-was-just-born-old-maybe-he-sprung-fully-formed-from-Athena's-forehead for Stick, 35 or 36 for Claire (she's an established nurse and honestly she does come off as older than Matt), and fifties for Fisk, forties for Vanessa, and thirties for Wesley. BAM, AGES. (Team Evil has a wider age range than Team Good, hmmm, I guess there's more space for intergenerational friendships when it comes to illicit work.)
We don't see many people under thirty in Daredevil, honestly, people should just let it be.
Yeah, he did: "Took you 20 years to learn how to get out of that one."
OTOH, he also said he had only been gone five minutes, so maybe he didn't remember how long it had been and only said 20 years because that was what Matt said.
I amen this comment exactly. I've definitely read worse, but the amount of "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WE'RE ALL DERANGED" combined with "Awwww BUNNIES" in this meme is amazing.
Just to clarify (because I've tried explaining it this way to people before, had them just copy/paste, and then have it not work), the example above should be used WITHOUT SPACES.
