General
YKINMKATO. Play nice. Respect others. If you don't like something, scroll on.

All comments must be anon. If you would like to be politely banned to avoid anon-failing, leave a logged-in comment on the mod post or pm the mod account.

Subject lines should only be changed if you're posting a prompt or a fill (indicators like OP or Author!Anon should go in the body of the comment).

RPF is allowed. Crossovers, characters from the extended Marvel Universe and comics canon are allowed, but must relate to the 2015 TV show in some way.

Prompts focusing on characters from Jessica Jones should go on the Jessica Jones Prompt Post, but crossovers with Daredevil can go on either post.

Prompts that are exclusively about the comics should go on the Comics Prompt Post.

Drop a comment on the mod post if you have any questions or problems.

Prompts
All types of prompts are welcome.

Use the subject line for the main idea of your prompt (pairing or characters, keywords, kink).

Warnings are nice, but not mandatory. Get DW Blocker if there's anything you really don't want to see.

Reposted prompts are allowed once one round has passed - e.g. prompts from post #2 cannot be reposted until post #4. Please include a link to where it has been previously posted.

Fills
When posting a fill, either add [FILL] (or something similar) to the subject line, or change the subject line to the title of your fill.

Announce your fill on either the Completed Fills Post or the WIP Post.

Long fills can either be posted over multiple comments, or posted on AO3 and linked back here.

Multiple fills are always okay.

Fills can be anything! Fic, art and vids are all welcome.

Also yes, I don't see him doing anything that will affect bystanders, but picking a fight and making sure he doesn't win or some kind of suicide by cop (especially if a grand gesture of giving the city back to the police were involved, if only in his own head) is something I think would fit - like handing the Punisher arrest to Brett but ... much more.

I think he probably does think that Foggy and Karen either won't care or will at least be better off, but with the myriad ways Matt could kill himself with plausible deniability that that was even his intent, I think he may even want to give Foggy a "win". "You said it would kill me, and you were right."

There has been a couple of occasions writing this that I've skirted dangerously close to the "Suicide is selfish" ridiculousness. That is not something I believe, but I could well see Matt believing it, not of other people necessarily but of himself. But that is maybe projecting again, I never think of other people that way, but when it came to me, I could not stop thinking about how bad other people would feel even though I was convinced they hated me, lol. As I said, depression and sense-making do not necessarily go hand in hand.

That's very true; suicide by police brutality would be a total Matt move... And depression totally distorts everything, so I can see Matt buying into a lot of the rhetoric.

Agreed on all points--though the logistics of suicide by cop (though I completely agree with the reasoning; I think Matt would think of it that way) would mean it would be difficult to avoid potential repercussions for Foggy and Karen, as Matt's identity would be revealed. (Or people re-opening every case he's ever had a hand in.)
He could possibly make a sacrifice play as a civilian, though that would probably have to be circumstantial. Someone else pointed out the religious issues involved in Matt consciously thinking of suicide, and if he's deliberately going out and picking fights as a civilian that kind of breaks even the front he might have going internally that he's not suicidal.
...and can I say how happy it makes me to hear other fans really thinking these kind of themes through with kindness and sensitivity? --especially while dealing with my own depression, and as someone who was previously suicidal and never dealt with it. Fandom as therapy, man. <3
