With All The "Charlie Cox Comeback" Talk Ramping Up, It'll Be A Good Friendly Reminder To Know How Much

With all the "Charlie Cox comeback" talk ramping up, it'll be a good friendly reminder to know how much he did deserve to be given the chance to reprise his role again.

Besides the fact that he acted his ass off in every scene, he was very respectful of how he approached playing a blind superhero and spent hours on hours with a blind consultant to observe his mannerisms to get it as accurate as he can for the show.

His portrayal was so faithful that the American Foundation for the Blind honored him with the Hellen Keller Award in 2015

Plus the absolute masterclass turn he did during the scenes in S3 where he had to portray a blind person pretending to be a sighted person. The layers, the nuance.

Or when he still managed to maintain the no eye-contact even during fight scenes?

There's plenty more to say about my favorite Marvel performance, but I really wanted to highlight the best part, which is Charlie making sure his portrayal of the disability was respectful and as near realistic as possible.

holy shit this is beautiful

Finally, I’m back with more Manacled content! 🌌

Work has been crazy this whole year and taken its toll on my energy levels and creativity, but slowly and steady another piece has formed into place. 🖊

This one is inspired by chapter 25 💫

I’ve been eager to finish and post this for you guys ✨

Again, also a huge thank you to the author of the story @senlinyu - Thank you for always keeping me inspired with so many beautiful ideas to dream about. Hopefully I will be able to post more frequently from now on. I have lots of plans made already 🌙

"Let me know if there's anything I can do."

A/N: This is not set around the events of TFA, the gif is mainly for vibes only. Another request by @treasureswordsgirl55, thank you!!

Pairing: Poe Dameron x reader

CW: Mentions of injury.

"Let Me Know If There's Anything I Can Do."

The worst thing that can happen after a mission is silence, which is exactly what greets you when you enter your quarters as soon as you open the door. Silence, when it comes to Poe, means something's wrong, it means something pushed him to the very limit enough for him to ignore the rest of the world.

Poe rests with his back against the headboard, his head thrown back and his eyes closed, but the creases on his eyebrows show he's not relaxed at all. There's a bandage forcing his armto be pressed against his chest, burn marks and cuts all over his skin; he got hurt, and worst of all, he lost people, and that's a wound that bacta liquid can't disappear.

In times like this, when he's quiet and doesn't even turn to look at you, you know it's better not to press him, not to force him to do anything, but there are wounds that could get infected and dried blood staining his face, so with the few supplies you could get from the medbay you walk over to him and slide next to him on the bed. "Hi," is all you say, earning a small, short smile from Poe.

Your hands push his curls back, making him sigh from your touch as you massage his scalp. "I'm sorry. For everything." You speak with a whisper after a few seconds of silence, and you are, for so many things but overall for not finging him sooner and leaving him on the dark corner of your bed by himself dealing with his pain alone.

"I know." Poe confirms, his voice coarse and rough. Your fingers play and comb through his messy curls to reveal the source of the blood that had dried on his skin. There's no need to say more as you begin to clean every injury you can find. At some point he opens his eyes, filled with grief and pain, of a thousand different emotions that you have no idea how to start healing.

"I know there's nothing I can say to make this better, but I'm right here, okay?" you are finishing cleaning his face when you speak, kissing his stubble when you do. Poe's eyes finally meet yours, his healthy hand reaching for yours, a tired smile painted on his handsome face. "Let me know if there's anything I can do." Your gentle promise tugs the corners of his lips, your fingers tangle in his hair one more time, this time reaching all the way back until you can rest your hand on his nape.

He nods, with a "love you" whispered so low you would've missed it if you hadn't been looking at his swollen lip. He pulls you to his side, cuddling your body against his, helping your head find its usual spot on the crook of his neck. "Just this. This is enough." Poe says against your hair, and with that he lets his body fall asleep.
