Daredevil Prompt Post #12

Mod Post | Discussion/Off-Topic Post | Writing Challenges
AO3 Collection | Fills: Completed & WIPs

All Rounds & Other Useful Links

This post is for prompts involving characters from Netflix's Daredevil.

Now that The Defenders prompt post is live, all crossovers between anyone in the four individual shows should go over there. Prompts only including characters that appear in Daredevil should still go here.

Rules:

General
1. YKINMKATO. Play nice. Respect others. If you don't like something, scroll on.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. 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.
5. Prompts focusing on characters from other Netflix Marvel shows or the comics should go on their respective prompt posts, but crossovers with Daredevil can go here.
6. Drop a comment on the mod post if you have any questions or problems.

Prompts
1. All types of prompts are welcome.
2. Use the subject line for the main idea of your prompt (pairing or characters, keywords, kink).
3. Warnings are nice, but not mandatory. Get DW Blocker if there's anything you really don't want to see.
4. 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
1. 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.
2. Announce your fill on either the Completed Fills Post or the WIP Post.
3. Long fills can either be posted over multiple comments, or posted on AO3 and linked back here.
4. Multiple fills are always okay.
5. Fills can be anything! Fic, art and vids are all welcome.

Please post any prompts related to Season 2 of Punisher over on the dedicated Punisher prompt post, and put SPOILERS in the subject line!

Of course, no worries about the politics, I like reading your thoughts!
TP isn't much to my tastes (limited compassion for soldiers + don't care much for the violence. Matt’s has nuance, there's the perpetual struggle to hold himself in; Frank only hesitates if it's Billy), but I did like the ending. I wasn't expecting Frank to go to therapy and admit he's scared, but that was really a good point to end. (Of course then comes S2 and we're back to killing with a sprinkle of killing.)

About Jessica, I'm not completely sure but I think she might be in Daredevil: Born Again?
I remember she was supposed to but the actress was busy so they replaced her with Frank (???), but that was at the early stages of the show, I think she’s been included then. Or maybe she will be later.
Apparently Fisk is going to go after vigilantes through the law, so it sure makes sense to involve more enhanced characters like Jessica.

(I am worried about Born Again ruining Daredevil, but I'm reserving judgement. Echo was actually good and pretty similar to Netflix Daredevil's tones, so they could do something worth watching.)

Yeah, there is just about zero moral nuance in Frank as a person. And not much more in the show at large. They tried, making it all secretly about executing prisoners in Afganistan (you know, WAR CRIMES, funny how that phrase doesn't come up), and blessedly portraid as bad. That wasn't a given.

But Americans always stop short of actually condemning their legal terrorists. I don't know if they're too cowardly to say the quiet part out loud, or too high on life-long propaganda (who TF makes children recite loyalty poems every morning and thinks that's NORMAL?!) but it doesn't happen. And here too, everything that's Bad is actually the fault of one guy, and, you know, he's dead now, so it's all good. It's just like slavery and racism are unamerican.

Have you read "The Shock Doctrine"? I think everybody should. It's terrifying.

Eh, politics. United States. Regime change, have I mentioned regime change operations? I think my head is spinning. Hello Darkness my old friend...

And while TP season 1 has some genuine stuff in it (the percentage of abandonned veterans among US ridiculously large homeless population is in double digits, and it isn't 10) even if it doesn't care about WAR CRIMES... (uh, ranting)

...season 2 is just an action movie. It's worthless. And I imagine to everyone that doesn't pay Unhealthy Amounts Of Attention to USA (and Britain) season 1 with it's really bad front płot — 'I faked my death by throwing myself off a cliff, and I live in a basement now', 'Oh, did you? Well I went to war school with a man obviously 15 years younger than me, we're best friends, have you heard my boss used to smuggle heroine in dead bodies?' (I wouldn't put that past them, actually, after reading Shock Doctrine) — with all that, I imagine to a normal person season 1 is also worthless.

So I get you.

(Also, I HATE the radio show "gun debate". That's not even being stupid, that's just lying. You know the arguments, fucking BE HONEST and write them in your script.)

Have I mentioned I don't like USA?

Okay so I realize I don't really know much about USA but WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY MAKE CHILDREN RECITE LOYALTY POEMS EVERY MORNING??? this is seriously so messed up. And scary.
I guess that also explains some things.

But yeah, some of S1 themes were interesting, too bad that they weren't developed like they should (like the gun debate, yep, what even was that).

It's called "plegde of allegiance". In front of every school there's a giant pole with a US flag on it, and every morning, for their entire education, from seven to eighteen years old, they have to gather in front of it and recite their loyalty to the flag. If they don't, they get punished. Might not be allowed into class, that's an accepted and pretty standard form of punishment.

So if a child consistently doesn't want to declare loyalty to the flag, it's a waiting game until that child realises they're not going to graduate and breaks, or, well, doesn't graduate and also breaks, only in a different way. This includes migrant children and kids obviously being actively mistreated by "the flag", like Black teens that get pretty consistently killed in the street.

(I know that's another shocking phrase, so - USA has a persistent murdererer-cop problem. Incidents when a Black man, teenager or even boy gets shot dead walking down the street for "looking suspicious" happen regularly, about a 100 every year. So one every 3-4 days. An 11 year old playing in the park was killed that way a few years back. Cops who do that are typically not punished by the law and continue to be cops.)

(Jesus, it doesn't sound real, does it. I know all this and putting it so plainly shocked me anyway. But it's true, there's a non-exhaustive list of those killed here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unarmed_African_Americans_killed_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_the_United_States)

(I tried to find the name of that boy from the park, because I couldn't remember, and it turns out a different 11 year old had been recently shot by police — in his home, after calling 911 for help. Also an 8 year old girl, and a 15 year old kindapped boy they were supposed to be rescuing. The one I was thinking about was Tamir Rice, apparently he was 12. Also there was Trayvon Martin, who was hunted down by his white neighbor, who wasn't a cop. He wasn't punished by the law either. Those are just (some of) the famous cases, and only the young ones. That list from wiki gives a better idea - 2023: January 3, January 7, January 17...)

Generally, if you ask "how bad is it?" about USA, the answer is almost always "worse."

This is also why I have some compassion for US soldiers — they have military representatives visit (poor) high schools, convincing them to sign up. You only have to be 17 to write off your life in a legally binding contract and be sent to either kill or die. Funnily enough, you have to be 21 in USA to drink.

USA is predatory about it to the point of military units having PR and movie departaments.

And the army is pretty much controlling what can be in all the other movies, too. To make a movie about the army you need the army, so they get to read the scripts and edit them as they please. You have to be VERY determined (and rich) to make anything but hero-worship about them in Hollywood.

By movie departements I don't mean just the censorship, I mean their own actual movie crews.

I remember watching some promotional biopic about a happy recruit who got trained to be a camera operator and is now living out his movie-making dream in the army. Moral of the story was explicitly "we have so many different careers, you can be anyone with us (just give us full control over your life and body first)". We'll train you to it from 0 to 100, exactly as we want you to be and also dependent on us for education and career. Somehow, the movie-makers thought that was good.

To me it sounds like making an army-society, which... yeah. That fits.

...yeah, I knew it was bad but the USA situation is definitely WORSE than I thought. I'm speechless.
And I'm definitely viewing the homeschooling in a completely new way now.

Also the drinking age being 21 while being able to sign off your entire life to the army at 17 is ridiculous. In a bad way, but ridiculous.
Yeah, kinda hard to blame kids for making poor life decisions I guess.

People who homeschool their children do it to indoctrinate them into far-right ideologies. IT CAN ALWAYS GET WORSE.

Honestly, it's like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and realizing it's a train. Homeschooled people are definitely the most indoctrinated in USA, and also the most dangerous. There's absolutely zero regulation for what you're supposed to teach your homeschooled child. Not that regulation would neccessarily help, seeing as a state or two OUTLAWED TEACHING EVOLUTION a while ago, but still. You can do whatever. And it's pretty much exclusively used by ultra-nationalist Evangelicals (extremist sort-of-Christian group) to, well, not teach evolution. Or slavery. Or climate change. Or equal rights. Generally: guns are good, oil rigs are better, books are suspicious and Jesus thinks the pope is too left-wing. It's all about control, honestly. Land Of The Free has some real hangups about parents having control over what their children know and think. There's this giant push for purging libraries right now, because "my child might read this".

Eh. Sometimes I want them to just collapse already. Then I remember they have nuclear missles, and won't go quietly.

...hey, did you know they operate nuclear bombs with floppy discs from 1951 and forget where they put the bomb sometimes? It can ALWAYS get worse.

On a lighter note, I absolutely love the phrase "it's ridiculous, but in a bad way". You're my kind of person Anon :D
