Okay.

People that can hurt you, the ones that can really hurt you, are the ones that are close enough to do it. People that get inside you and... and... and tear you apart, and make you feel like you're never gonna recover.

anway… HE SHAVED FOR KAREN. Frank Castle you are a slut.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR (2016)

Karen all but said she’d choose Frank over everything, including Matt, in season 2 of The Punisher. The only reason she didn’t is because Frank didn’t let her. He fought her on it because he thinks she deserves better.

And now 6 years later, Matt picks up on their feelings for each other IMMEDIATELY. After being present for just one conversation between them.

I never in a million years expected Kastle to be canon in any capacity. It’s surreal.

i'm really intrigued by how bad frank is doing. he had the 'hipster' look going, he's taking some kind of prescription pills, now that he's shaved we can see he looks older and really worn down, he's extra impatient with matt when they talk, and his fighting style was focused way more on brutality than previous fights where we saw him being a lot more tactical and efficient. this man is straight up not having a good time without karen

He does the same to Karen, pushing her away just when she re-enters his life. Reflecting on that, do you think Frank loves Karen, that he genuinely feels that way?

“I think he does, and I wish that we could have had a little bit more time together. It’s a relationship worth exploring. I think if anybody could handle Frank, it’s Karen. He says to her, “You’ve got to stay away from me. I know for a fact now that I’m the one that brings all this darkness,” and it’s funny because I think Karen truly understands that and accepts that. She can handle it. But it’s part of the evolution of Frank realizing that solitude is the only way forward.”

the punisher character list ≡ [1/?] frank castle

first time, as long as i can remember, i don’t have a war to fight. and i guess, if i’m gonna be honest, i just… i’m scared.

one thing i truly love about frank and karen (aside from, y’know, everything) is that they never have to to say it. the subtext is screaming, bleeding through in every scene.

or: in matt’s case, hearing their heartbeats lol

You know, back at his place, I heard your heartbeats. God, that is really not fair. You heard his too? Oh, yeah. It's just adrenaline, I'm sure.

Confessions held in bloom

A poem on love, loss, and truths left unspoken—from Frank’s perspective.

They hold secrets, these petals under dim lights and soft silences of words left unsaid and reverence expressed. They remember my mourning my guilt of love lost, and fear  of the pain in another found. They tell of regrets and remorse on which we stand, and keep between us the aching longing that lingers. They reflect you pure and good, wrapped in thorns of the past your soul and the hope you protect. They promise my adoration, loyalty to you, to your gentleness my endless appreciation for all you offer. They are a new beginning an invitation of intimacy a first step towards being worthy.
