Thought folks here would aplreciate this. I am so, so excited. Charles Soule is a fantastic writer with a real legal background, and Garney is a great choice of artist. And their plans sound amazing. Matt's going back to having a secret identity! Woot!
Although, sadly no mention of the fate of Foggy Nelson or Kirsten McDuffie. *begs for their lives and cries tears of sadness forever if they're gone*
For those people on this meme considering getting into the comics, October may be the time to do it. :)
Re: Great interview with Charles Soule about taking over the Daredevil comic!
There's a prompt I reaaally wanna post on the freeze post but I can't find it ;__; i think the subject line was something like 'gentle Dom!matt, bratty sub!foggy' and p sure it was the 4th prompt post, if anyone else has been keeping an eye on it/has the link??
uhm, I know it's nothing but I started working on a prompt and though being it simple -and I know I can't write long fics + my native language is not english and I'm sure it'd be big trouble when looking for the right words, I feel so happy either way about it that I just wanted to share this fact, as it'd be also my second ever fic and the first one that I'll ever publish online, so yey XD thanks meme, thanks anons and thanks dd XD
Guys, I draw and I saw the new DD art online and... can some other artists please confirm or deny that the new DD is actually built on Charlie Cox's proportions and not the traditional (at least 6' tall and ~20 lbs heavier) Matt Murdock in comics? Or am I seeing things? The nu!DD chest lats are slightly too exaggerated to be Charlie's (no amount of muscle is ever going to make Charlie a big guy), but the lumbar curve and especially the hips and thighs and booty? Picture the man in black and you'll see what I mean. Y/N, or have I missed a shorter DD in comics who is built like this?
OP: sorry, and I meant to point out that even though these look like concept art, unless the photo is flipped, THIS Matt Murdock is no longer a southpaw. There seems to be some sort of pack on his left thigh, but the holster for his billy clubs is on the right side. (Charlie Cox is right-handed.) I'm not sure what to make of it unless the comic decided to pay eye service to the show.
so uh, i'm writing this fic where matt mysteriously grows tentacles and i just....does anyone have advice on how to write tentacles? because i get they're supposed to have a mind of their own and all, but sometimes i feel stuck because idk HOW much of a mind of their own they're supposed to have.
for example, i plan to eventually have matt, er, get friendly with the tentacles but i don't want it to come off rape-y? HELP????
Maybe use the 2004 Dr Octopus as the 'If you reach this, you've gone way too far'. There's the 'subconscious/base instinct' route, where they can act on their own if he's not controlling them, but not directly oppose his higher brain. The fine details of how horny/persistent/etc they are is up to you, but they will stop at whatever point you deem too dubious.
i feel like someone has probably already discussed but i skimmed the discussion post and couldn't see it (i easily could have missed it tho) in the first episode matt told karen he'd give anything to see the sky one last time. at the time i assumed it was the truth but looking back i'm wondering what y'all think. do you think it was a) the truth b) something he said to like tug at karen's heart and get her to open up to him about union allied c) a little of both
Re: "i'd give anything to see the sky one more time"
My interpretation is that he's used to using his blindness and people's sympathies for it as a way of getting them to open up, so it was manipulative, but at the same time I don't think he was lying about wanting to be able to see again, if only for a moment.
A lot of people write fic in which characters who would know better use hydrogen peroxide or alcohol to clean wounds. Both of these substances damage cells and shouldn't be used. Flush open wounds with clean water (preferably sterile or distilled, which you can often buy at grocery stores by the gallon - but tap will do if it's what you have) or saline solution. With non-penetrating wounds use wound scrub or mild soap.
If anyone has any questions about emergency medical care, I've worked for 20 years in veterinary medicine, mostly in specialty practice emergency and critical care, which is very similar to its human counterpart. I've treated injuries as diverse as gunshot/knife/arrow/machete wounds, venomous snake bites, other animal bites, massive multiple trauma (hit by car, long falls, etc - even a hit by train), burns of varying degree and cover, smoke inhalation, toxic ingestion, drug OD, electric shock, drowning... almost any sort of emergency you could think of.
I am also certified in human CPR, first aid, & wilderness first aid, with additional training specific to major disasters and similar large-scale emergencies.
Re: PSA: Wound care - Also can do some medical Q&A
:( What fic is it? I don't get a lot of comments on mine, but I do get some. I try and keep in mind that everyone's in different timezones, so it's likely they haven't seen it yet. I do wish I'd get some detailed comments though, but I try not to think like that because then I tend to give up and not touch the fic again for a few years.

I haven't tried it myself, but I remembered some anons around here were considering giving Marvel Unlimited a try.
Is he lying? I have the feeling he's self-deluded. Every time he lays hands on someone to hurt them he gets a creeper grin on his face, a predator smile. When he strangles Ben, he's got such a cat with cream face, ugh. And when Matt is half-dead and stupidly challenges him, Fisk looks thrilled, he's bouncing on his toes for a second. And when he strangles Matt up against the wall and throws him down (good thing he didn't just keep him up there because that was the same double-fisted throat grab he used on Ben) he looks like he just had sex and needs a cigarette and is disappointed Matt couldn't get back up. I really do get the sense that Fisk honestly loves to hurt or dominate people, at least everyone who isn't Vanessa. Am I seeing that wrong?
I was like 90% sure I saw a prompt that had Matt pretending to be supernatural or something but I can't find it now and now I'm half convinced I imagined it.
On IMDB Charlie is listed as 5'10", same as Deborah, and Elden is listed as 5'9" and during season one I thought Matt and Foggy were the same height, while Karen was a little shorter? Because she wears heels and she's still the same height as Matt and Foggy?
But I'm looking at the new season 2 set pics and Charlie is looking shorter than Elden in almost every picture. I thought maybe the shoes, and it's not a super big deal but as a writer I want to get the sight lines or sizes right and idek anymore! The new pics make it look like Elden is bigger and Charlie's gotten smaller somehow? What the heck is going on with the pictures? Anybody? And is Deborah really 5'10" if she can wear heels and still be the same height as the guys?
If Matt had died or stayed out of commission after his fight with Nobu, could Fisk still have been taken down? Would the actions and info gathered by the rest of the team have been enough?
(frozen comment) Re: Could they have done it without Daredevil?
Can anyone who is familiar with the Daredevil comics tell me if Foggy's family is depicted, and if so, how? I mean, does he have any brothers or sisters who show up, for instance? Are his parents' names mentioned?
I just realised how little I actually know about it.
I knew New York was in the north. But New York is north of Washington DC? Boston is north of New York?? Philadelphia is near New York??? And between it and Washington DC???? All these places are really close to another?????
Like, I know all these places but apparently I know bugger all about their locations and my world has just been rocked. So much for knowing US geography...
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but a while ago someone here was wanting to know if they could podfic my works - specifically my fic To Smell on AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3903601/chapters/8735566
I tried to respond to your Tumblr message, but it somehow went wonky and deleted both my reply and the original message, so I'm just letting you know here that it's no problem with me! You can re-message me on Tumblr if you're concerned that this is anon and want to confirm. Just wasn't sure how to get a hold of you otherwise. :)
has anyone else been reading the unbeatable squirrel girl series? tbf I've only read like the first 4 and now I'm just waiting for it to come out on unlimited, but I LOVE it and she's so cute and I can't help thinking about what her interactions with the daredevil characters would be like and ugh *chin hands*
I had kind of hoped fandom was past hating on female characters by now, and at first glance it seems like our little fandom is doing pretty good (look at all the love for Claire and Marci and Vanessa), and yeah Karen gets some love too but she's also the target of a lot of some really intense scrutiny. Like, ~everything she does is bad and wrong and she's the literal worst~ type scrutiny. And I just... don't... get it?
you what, I never read any of those hate-comments or posts... but this is the second time I read a post about hate-comments/posts towards Karen... (sorry for the repetitions... :>)
Do you think it's okay to just assume people know what happens in canon? Like talking about foggy being mad with Matt without explicitly saying that he recently found out matt is daredevil? Or mentioning that Fisk is in prison without saying who fisk is/going into any detail?
If you're talking about show canon, I think so. I don't know about others, but I usually don't read fanfiction until I've caught up with whatever happens. If I don't get caught up, it means I don't really care about the show itself that much but still want to read the fanfiction.
