Thedevilinthem - Simple Living Thing

This is the Devil of Hell's Kitchen?? Devil?? Are you sure people

i wonder how many parents pulled their kids from exy leagues that year…

in universe aftg memes are so funny it gets me every single fucking time just imagine liking a sport but it turns out the mafia is involved and riko moriyama is literally a psycho and his brother killed him and seth gordon fucking died and aaron minyard killed someone and neil josten's dad is the butcher and kevin day has never been skiing and jean moreau was kidnapped from the ravens and then there's jeremy knox

i loved episodes 5/6. they had me smiling and shouting at my screen the whole time. you know, like a crazy person. here are my two cents, lmk your thoughts.

(spoilers below)

episode 5 thoughts

-tbh i would love a series of just matt/daredevil stopping crime throughout the city. no big overarching story, just slice of life vigilantism. i want to see him break people’s faces then go and have dinner with the khans.

-him whistling when he went back in and just overall being a smartass the whole time was so very matt coded and i loved it

-yesssss please give us matt cracking more safes, it’s so sexy of him

-also another stairwell fight for the books. amen.

-i always find it so strange when matt gets his ass almost beat by Regular Thugs, or even Regular Thugs who can Fight. my guy has taken down entire gangs by himself while half dead with only God and a hallway on his side. you expect me to believe some irish guy can give him a run for his money? not a chance.

episode 6 thoughts:

-MATT IS PRAYING AGAIN. it makes me think about season three when he embraces the daredevil identity over matt murdock and says “even god can’t stop that now”. now it feels like he’s praying for god to stop it.

-THE FOGGY MEMORIAL CARD KISS!!!???? my heart broke somehow even more.

-heather absolutely has to know something about matt isn’t quite right. she’s a smart lady and he is a walking bundle of trauma. he’s got scars, a gap filled history, so much loss, and he brushes off a hostage situation like it’s no biggie? i wonder if she’s going to figure it out on her own.

-angela, oh my goodness. shes so wonderful. she’s exactly what matt needs to cut through the bullshit, but i need her to stay safe omg stop going into dangerous situations please.

-the fight with muse was so good. up until now some of the fight scenes have been alright, if not a bit stilted. the fridge one was good, but the muse fight was so good. i could’ve done without the cuts to the fisk and adam one though, i understand why they did it but i don’t have to like it.

-i’m still having a hard time getting through the fisk scenes. i just can’t really bring myself to care enough about him unfortunately. i think he’s important to the plot, but a lot feels drawn out for no real reason.

-matt saying “i’m here” in reference to daredevil and looking so (defeated? relieved?). he knows if he’s called the police instead that she’d be dead. the prayer overlapping the cpr was so so much.

-“fuck it”. when i tell you i gasped

-ahhh yes. matt actively going against cherry telling him not to get involved. there’s the daredevil we know and love.

-i actually am going to need frank to shoot all of those cops and fisk and muse directly in the face. please and thank you.

ART IMITATES ART

wow my first time drawing franky boy :0

i live in quebec, all of my advertisements on disney+ are in french. I’m usually alright with the dubs, even if they’re a bit inaccurate to the original actors voices.

recently i’ve been getting ads for The Amateur (L’Amatuer) and seeing Jon Bernthal and hearing him dubbed in french is the funniest shit i’ve ever heard

idk what it is about him that makes it feel so wrong, but French Bernthal now lives rent free in my head

My favorite thing is that "Human Disater Matt Murdock" is a super common tag on both tumblr and ao3.org

But seriously:

He has horrible luck with women

Parkour is his main mode of transportation

He probably only sleeps 2 hours a day

He spends all his money buying his canes in bulk from Costco or some shit

He has a severe lack of self-preservation

He has exactly 2 friends who are tired of his shit 97% of the time

He thinks dumpster diving is appropriate when he has open wounds and the dumpster is filled with all of the types of bacteria known to man

He thinks it's a good idea to repeatedly antagonize Wilson Fisk

It's a wonder this man made it through 3 seasons, goddammit Matthew

i literally cannot stand sister maggie. i do not think she deserves forgiveness from matt. i know he has to give it to her to reconcile with his faith and everything, but the way she treats him especially at the start of s3? she’s so unhelpful and cruel.

sure, you could argue that it was “tough love”, and that he needed the push, but seriously there had to be better ways to go about it.

i know my takes can seem too black/white for what’s actually going on, but while i understand her character and the intricacies of the story, i really believe that she does not deserve his or our forgiveness.

maybe i just want to see matt loved in a way that doesn’t hurt…

once again thinking about matt murdock’s absolute bear paws and arms.
