Hello, lovelies. I'm having a blast on this meme want to know who you are in namespace. Since tumblr is (sigh) the platform of the moment, let's do this.
Blog name: morningsided
What you post: All Daredevil, all the time. Some reblogs, some original fanworks, a smattering of relevant pictures of NYC. My favorite character is Matt's masochism.
Is the above your primary blog? Nope. Don't want to post the primary blog here, but if we start interacting, I'll give a shout to let you know how my name shows up when I hit 'like'.
Any additional notes? Nah.
(Note: I've seen friending threads get touchy before, so I'm hoping that everyone who shares here can agree that we all have our own rules about who we interact with in namespace and how we do it. No hurt feelings re: follow-backs, please!)

Blog name: writingfish
What you post: Multifandom, but mostly Daredevil right now, memes, social commentary (reblogs), writing (mostly Daredevil fic, poetry and some original stuff), pictures of Indian food and clothing, ect...
Is the above your primary blog? Yep
Any additional notes? I have a tag list if you need to blacklist anything and I like rare pairs, especially if they start out cracky like Matt/Daredevil. (I'm the one writing that 616!Matt interacting with MCU!Matt selfcesty au)

train's "drops of jupiter" was playing when matt and foggy first met, so does fandom acknowledge that as matt and foggy's song or is there another song that everyone kind of accepts as their song?
i'm not even sure if this is something that's been discussed yet so if not what song do you think their song would be? :-)
i'm not even sure if this is something that's been discussed yet so if not what song do you think their song would be? :-)
yeah, drops of jupiter is probably the closest you're gonna get to fanon. although my funny valentine has been done a couple times and i think there's a surfer blood song playing in the bar where foggy proposes the nelson and murdock sign so??? who knows
I know we can't prompt them on here unless they relate to the show, but is there a place for them? I've just started reading the comics and I have a couple of prompts brewing.
s a m e
I was wondering what appealed to other author!anons when looking over the prompts. Do you prefer longer detailed prompts or simple 1-2 sentence ones? What about bonus +points? Do you like prompts that spin into long meta discussions? Or is it simply that "oh" moment when exactly the right kind of prompt just suddenly makes half a plot snap into place?
um. oh man.
ig I really really like long meta discussions? like. part of what made me fill my own prompt three times over was bc I got into a really long meta discussion with an anon where we bounced ideas off each other and that ended up in a series on AO3.
so like, I like meta discussions. a lot. obviously there are exceptions (if it involves non-con, for example, I scroll past very very fast, and I don't like arguments, I'm very non-confrontational), but discussions where anons bounce Ideas off each other is. I like reading that. sometimes I write the meta too, like p long not!fics that take up a good chunk of my time, and I always end up checking back a lot to see if anyone's replied to said meta.
(which reminds me. there was a person I was bouncing meta off of re: the musical crossover fill? where are you anon, I have so many ideas.)

but with http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/2760.html?thread=5483720#cmt5483720 it just sort of struck me. What are the general guidelines for dealing with suicide attempts?
My suicide attempt was pretty half-assed. A deliberate overdose, and after a night in the cardiac ICU and another in the general ward. Things were pretty much "Are you going to do this again?"
"OMG no, this was too embarrassing. Think I'm gonna change meds too."
"Kay, here's your bill."
"Hey, ambulance charge? I'm a member!"
"Oops, sorry.... we'll just fix that."
Although before that, the last time I was in hospital it was because I was being born, and I'm a pain wimp, so it's not like I went around collecting scars for the most part.
I guess I'm just asking- how do hospitals determine who to put on suicide watch? Are signs of physical injuries given more attention vs purely mental issues?

(i wanna preface this by saying that i'm from australia so i'm not sure if this is how it works in america too. i assume it'd be similar, but i hope this helps even a little!!)
i don't think it's a case of physical injuries > mental state it's more that where there are physical injuries there is evidence that a person has harmed themselves. when it comes to a psych hold it generally/ultimately comes down to "is this person a danger to themselves? is this person a danger to others?" so if someone presented with self-inflicted wounds it would be reasonable and responsible to assume that this person would be a danger to themselves if not provided care.
it's basically a lot of talking and answering questions (as well as factoring in mental health history) that tells medical staff what the best and safest course of action is.
when it comes to physical injuries vs mental health it’s not a case of importance it’s that it would be harder to convince medical staff that you weren't a danger if you were standing in front of them with self-inflicted wounds. whereas if you had no physical injuries and didn't want to be admitted (even if you did have mental health issues) it would be relatively easy to convince (or lie to) the hospital that you didn't need to be admitted.

Hello! I am thinking of doing a crossover with the Young Avengers and someone suggested making a chat post to hash out the things I can't yet fathom. So here it is! Also, who just wants to talk about the YA?
I always want to talk about the Young Avengers. :D
Have you seen the cover for the New Avengers comic that's coming out? Billy and Teddy are going to be in it, but the art...it's so horrifying.

You know when you read a good fic and forget to bookmark it and then you can only remember one line/scene/moment and that's impossible to search for? Because everyone in this fandom is really accommodating (and at least one person has probably read your missing fic as well) maybe like a fic finding thread with mods' permission?
You get help to find your missing fic, more people see the link & leave nice comments and everyone wins?
(And the reason I thought about it was that I've lost a fic where Matt gives Foggy a foot massage - which he thought was going to be a blowjob - and Karen walks in, asks if everyone gets a foot massage and complains about wearing heels. It's been bugging me for weeks and if anyone knows the one I will love you forever.)

So I'm writing a story for a prompt here, and I've been asking myself about Matt's cooking skills. (And I mean the TV version of him.) When you look at his kitchen (from what we can see, at least), he does have utensils and spices, and seasoning, and things that look they're being used on occasion standing there on the counter. I mean, yeah, we know he can make an omelet or scrambled eggs, but how about a real meal?
The way I see it, this would go one of two ways. Either he's really great at it, because he's got that sensitive nose and sense of smell and taste, and he's frickin' fantastic at using those to create dishes that have an extraordinarily exquisite taste. He just doesn't usually cook, because, hey, it's just himself and he doesn't want to make the effort (which, as a single, I can relate to).
Or he's terrible at it, because he can't really tell when something's about to get burnt or the water is boiling over, or he's just not good at coordinating when to do what, and then in the end the potatoes are too hard, and the vegetables are too mushy.
Does anyone know if this is ever mentioned in the comics? What is your take on Matt's cooking skills?

he's apparently a really good chef? it comes into play in one of the Secret Wars Journals, but. eh. I think he'd make for a great chef, he just doesn't have the time or the inclination to make much more than scrambled eggs a lot. he'd probably save the gourmet cooking for when he has someone over.
since i DO feel bad about accidentally descending into frank miller wankfests on people's perfectly good prompts, here's the OFFICIAL place to do it.
disappointed with his writing? upset that he doesn't really care about female characters? generally disgusted with his racism, american exceptionalism, islamophobia, and fascist ideals? THIS IS THE POST TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT.

Could someone...tell me what happens? I honestly just can't remember, like I'm talking about the very end, not the whole thing...Fisk escapes, right? But like????
*blinks*
I've searched for episode guides cos I have trouble generally tieing stuff in with canon cos I just cannot for the life of me remember loads of it, but I haven't found any good ones and I don't really have time to be watching it again rn :/

then it jumps forward to the next day or a couple days later (i'm not 100% sure) and the last we see of fisk is that he's in a white jumpsuit in prison. i'm not very clear on how brett knew where to show up either, it was probably explained but i do sometimes miss details like that!!

I'm taking a poll.
sticks hand up
I swear, it was supposed to be funny I don't know how it's got so complicated

I've just rewatched episode seven and I'm not sure that Stick did have the bracelet Matt made him, during the fight Matt picks up a box off the side table and throws it at Stick's head it breaks, and I think that's where the bracelet came from. Thoughts ?
That makes much more sense, that Matt kept it all these years.
Because otherwise I was thinking Stick left it to make Matt think he still cared about him.

Can anyone help me find the one where he's a prostitute, and the one where matt takes foggy to meet him? It's about how jack doesn't want matt to be a fighter/his reaction to seeing matt with bruises, I think?

I've just started reading the end of days comics and it's just making me even more angry/sad that they killed off Ben in the show? Like why??? He's such a good character and his relationships with the other characters would have been awesome???????? W h y
(Also I wish there was more fic about him out there ugh)
(Also I wish there was more fic about him out there ugh)
I feel like Ben's death made narrative sense, but at the same time it was like they took the easy way out and didn't bother to think of some way he could have been saved.
Guys, can we have a discussion about Karen in season 2?
If people know Karen in the comics, then it seems there's a lot of hinting in the series that Karen has had her own downward spiral and when she comes to NYC it's to move beyond all her bad years (from the comics in a nutshell: porn and drug addiction), but something Father Lantom tells Matt is worrying me: 'Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is the righteous man who gives way before the wicked.' [when the righteous succumb to sin, it is as harmful as if the public well were poisoned. Because the darkness of such an act... of taking a life... will spread to friends, neighbors... the entire community.] That sounds like ominous foreshadowing to me. Maybe it was a red herring about DD, but would Karen be considered 'righteous'?
She's killed Wesley, she claims it wasn't the first time, she's got some guilt (and some legit blame) for Ben's death, too, and there's a lot of drinking and exhaustion happening with her there in eps 12&13 and some nods about maybe drugs coming back into the picture. Unlike Matt who has finally opened up about his own DD-shaped secret and now has a support system in place, Karen is being crushed under her own silence.
Where do you guys see her character going next season? Does she become the Ben Urich reporter replacement on the show? Does she remain a secretary to N&M? I don't want to see her paired up with Matt at all, but she spent most of S1 looking at him with some obvious designs but never really acting on it, and god help us all if she finds out he's DD because I feel like she's already crushing on DD, too. And if Karen is holding a torch for Matt, what happens to that when Elektra comes into the picture next season? I don't think things will go the Foggy/Karen route, either, so where does Karen go from here?

hoo boy. this is a hell of a question so i'm going to try to answer it to the best of my ability with a numerical list, otherwise i am sure i won't hit everything. let me know if you have any further questions, anon.
1. karen does end up addicted to drugs and becomes a sex worker. however, in the comics, this is after she gets involved with matt and decides she's done with being Daredevil's Girlfriend and Matt Murdock's Secretary. she goes to california to try to establish her own career, to horrible results. later on she comes back to new york and ends up selling matt's identity to the kingpin for drugs, matt almost is outed as daredevil, but of course doesn't blame karen and forgives her easily. karen works to get clean but ultimately is killed by bullseye, iirc.
2. i don't doubt that karen killing wesley in self-defense is going to be the show's way of corrupting her. since this is essentially season zero of matt's story, the characters need to join matt in a somewhat dark place. he can't be the only one keeping secrets, after all. claire's scary dark place is following her kidnapping and realizing that being involved with matt could plausibly get her killed. foggy's scary dark place is knowing that matt has been lying to him for almost the entirety of their friendship, and knowing he's going to have to help matt keep these secrets. these characters clearly need to be broken from being completely assured of their safety or happiness.
3. i'm guessing karen's going to stay a secretary of N&M, despite everything. i can't really say what she'll choose to do on her off hours since she's obviously her own person, but for faithfulness to the comics' sake, she'll probably stay a secretary as her paycheck occupation.
4. surprise! i also dislike the pairing off of matt and karen! i understand that the original concept of her character was to be the Superhero's Girlfriend, but she's grown well beyond that, and if she only exists for matt to save later and then maybe make out with they'd be wasting a hell of a brave woman in the show. as for elektra, since they seem to be keeping faithful to "the man without fear" by frank miller: elektra's a thing of the past, romance-wise. matt and elektra had a fling in college, they still flirt as adults and have hooked up once or twice, but it was never a permanent thing. my guess is they're gonna be doing more college flashbacks featuring matt and elektra flirting at a bar, etc. and when elektra shows back up both karen and foggy are probably going to go "wtf?" and maybe be a bit jealous, but yeah, elektra's probably not going to be a legit contender for a long-standing romance, no more than claire was.
5. funny story about foggy/karen, actually. in daredevil yellow, they explain that foggy was constantly crushing on karen while karen only had eyes for matt, to the point where foggy actually bought her a ring and nearly proposed to her. overall i really hate romance triangles, if i had it my way the three of them would be in one big happy polyamorous relationship, but as you know, Monogamy Rules.
overall i just hope that romance stays by the wayside. if any major romance stuff starts up my eyes will probably glaze the fuck over and i will be writing a lot of angry tweets to the showrunners. i'm not quite sure what'll happen to karen but i hope that the creators have the good sense to not fall into old misogynistic pitfalls that old silver age writers were constantly stuck in during those days.

He has enhanced senses like Matt too, right? But where did they come from? Was his mom exposed to the mystery chemicals when she was pregnant, causing him to be born blind and with enhanced senses? Or are his super senses unrelated to his blindness?
Anybody got any theories? Is there anything about this in the comics?
Anybody got any theories? Is there anything about this in the comics?
This sort of confused me as well because Matt said about him 'blind like me, well not exactly like me' and my first thought was that this meant 'without enhanced senses' rather than e.g. 'blind from birth' which doesn't seem like an important distinction at the moment he's talking about that but on the other hand you can train as much as you want normal human senses have limits so if anybody can shed light on that and on what the hell Matt meant by that I'd be very grateful XD
Has anybody else seen this series of stop-motion videos that some folks at Marvel put up on youtube?

They're pretty blatantly just commercials, but I love them. Some that I think are probably more relevant to DD fans:
Punisher vs. Deadpool

Cranky Old Man Logan

Daredevil vs. She-Hulk

Also, this one only has a minor mention of Foggy, but I love it:

oh my god, is this like robot chicken: marvel edition? this is BIZARRE.
so the "Matt as the accidental vigilante big brother to all the superpowered/vigilante teenagers in and around New York" prompt has me wondering about all the kid heroes in Marvel, or at least the heroes who started out as kids.
list off your favorite teenaged superheroes here! from any universe.
I'll start: I absolutely love Kamala Khan and Kate Bishop. and the rest of the Young Avengers too, from what little I've seen of them. and also Spider-Gwen.

All the kids from X-Men Evolution, though especially Wanda, Kitty, Rogue and Tabitha.

What's the weirdest thing you've had to Google in order to fill a prompt for this meme?
I don't know if you'd call this "weird" per se, but I found it kind of funny when I realized that I, being a lesbian, don't know what it feels/tastes like to suck a dick, so I had to research it. XD;;
Guys, this is totally random. I'm writing this scene and it involves someone making coffee, but then I realized that as much as I love coffee and drink it all the time, i have never actually operated one of those american style coffee pots I always see on TV and I have no idea how it's done.
I think the coffee gets made in the top of the thing and then it drips through into a big glass jug or something? Or do you tell it when you want some coffee to be in the jug so it's not sitting there for hours getting gross? Or do you make it and drink it immediately and TV that has people just walking in and pouring a cup is a misrepresentation?
I make espresso in a pot on the stove, and I have never seen that on american TV, only these jug things. Can someone please give me a step by step?
(Asking this makes me feel really stupid!)

1. Fill a mug up with water. (Most mugs will give you 2 cups in the measure on the side. [reference pic: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-DCM600B-5-Cup-Coffeemaker/dp/B001NXC5YC/ref=sr_1_4?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1436193580&sr=1-4&pebp=1436193578349&perid=0C0XCDME84P3X9SEP98H]
2. Then open the top lid and pour the water into the side, where the thinner opening is. The broad circular one is where you put the filter.
3. Then put the filter in. For the coffee, I usually put double the amount of water. So 2 cups of water = 4 teaspoons of coffee.
4. Close the lid, stick the pot underneath, turn the machine on and wait for the coffee to drip down. Then, I usually turn it off and drink it immediately, but you can leave the pot on if you need to go do something else.

I've been using the placeholder "batons" in my WIP so far, but that doesn't seem right. Is there a specific name for them, or....?
I'm sure I've seen them called billy clubs somewhere?
:-D

AWW. Look at these precious avacados
How do you guys write? Do you plan things out before hand? Do you do a lot of prewriting then go back? How long does it take you to write things?
I always like hearing about people's writing processes. :)
I always like hearing about people's writing processes. :)
I generally start with an idea and a few lines of dialog and start writing. The rest of it flows from there. I generally try to write something every single day because then it becomes easier and easier to write.
Somebody please explain why I got a math equation for the catchpa. I don't wanna do math on a kinkmeme!
Yeah, if I get an annoying captcha I just get it wrong on purpose, and usually the next one is easier.
The drawback is, if you get the captcha wrong too many times, your comment will misfire.

Okay, silly question that I'm glad I can ask anon: What does AYRT stand for? Google was extremely unhelpful.
Anon You Replied To
Some other helpful acronyms:
DA = different anon
SA = same anon (this is for when you reply to your own comment and you want to state that you are still the same person who wrote the above comment)
