[ranch-dressing-blessing]

I just started watching daredevil (2015) like 2 days ago. It's probably a good thing that I didn't see it when it came out bc I think I would have been feral honestly. Like high school me that was already obsessed with loki and bucky did not need another one lol

That being said holy shit it's so good. I've seen the 1st 7 episodes. My immediate thoughts:

- the intro being the city dripping in blood holy shit

- justice being typically depicted as blind and holding scales like Matt being a lawyer and vigilante and bringing 2 forms of justice

-the cinematography in general, but I loved how (I think ep. 2) when he was retrieving the kid from the russian mob and they kept the camera in the hallway but had the fight going between the 2 rooms

-In ep. 3 I think I was just repeating holy shit and omg when Claire and Matt kissed. They are not messing around lmao. The chin lift!!!

-The amount of daddy issue this man has lmao. And it's a double whammy too! Because he has to deal with that stick left him too!

- also I have a prediction which I very well may be wrong (idk any daredevil lore), but I think Vanessa is Matt's mom. Simply because that would be fucked up if true. I don't even know if she's old enough for that to work or not

-also I just really like that the show seems really cohesive so far. Like the plot points carry on between episodes and it feels like the story can develop rather than being reset at the start of each episode which is really nice. It seems like if something is brought up then there is a reason for it

-also I love Foggy, I also like how both him and Karen act 3d and that they have their own motivations rather than feeling like they know they are side charters. It's refreshing. That being said, I don't like how Karen treats Foggy because she likes Matt, but I do think that is a realistic way a person would act so

The show is like arrow if arrow was actually good lmao.

But yeah I'm gonna keep watching. Also the reason I started watching it is cause I kept seeing tumblr screenshots of daredevil gifsets on pinterest...

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Friday, June 14

Cordelia turns and heads out of the library. The others each give Buffy a quick apologetic glance and follow her out. Giles walks into the area as Buffy goes to the table to get her bottle of apple juice. GILES: Seems like a lot of fuss for... one little title. BUFFY: Well, you know, it's no fun if you don't try your best. (takes a drink) GILES: As long as fun is still in the mix. BUFFY: (smiling) Sure! It's not like anyone takes it that seriously. The bottle in her hand suddenly shatters under the pressure of her grip.

✨ Baby Charlie vs. DILF Charlie ✨

Conclusion: Some things never change. Charlie Cox is gorgeous and too precious for this world at every age (and in every universe) and is aging like a fine wine.🔥💖🔥 

(A fine wine y’all are exponentially hella thirsty for - if ever there was a belated birthday card I wish I could send to Charlie for his 40th bday, guys...!! 😂)

i still think the conversation matt, foggy and reyes have in 2.06 is incredibly important for foggy's character development/revealing more of foggy's character. foggy wanted absolutely nothing to do with defending frank and you can tell he was secretly hoping frank would tell them to fuck off based on his reaction when frank chose them to be his lawyers but foggy did not even flinch to back up matt when he decided to pick an argument with reyes, something that he'd usually shy away from/mat matt handle all together. i think it shows that despite everything, he wants the same kind of peace in his environment as matt and at his core he will stand up to bullies should he ever need to; he is not afraid to do it and he will not back down. at their core, matt and foggy are terrifyingly similar just in different ways.

i’m so glad that anon mentioned the overused blind jokes. after the release of nwh there was obviously an increase in new daredevil fans and ppl finding him hot, and now i constantly see tiktoks that make being blind his whole thing?? like i’m glad ur enjoying the show but please tone it down 😭

saw someone say that the green jacket s3 costume was their least favorite of the series but i cannot express just How Much i love that costume….the symbolism of it!!!!

The uses of red and green in Matt’s costuming during season 3 are so wildly important— matt wore red previously when he was finally ready to embrace who he really was (albeit he over exerted it, but this is a textpost im writing on my phone at 2am. Semantics aren’t important), and the moment he’s conscious enough to wear more than bandages he’s not dressed in it again.

When he finally starts doing DD work he wears green (the foiling color), and seems so unlike himself because of his depression and the remnants of the mindset Stick drove in him at such an impressionable age. The costume is reminiscent of Stick’s because of the trauma that it represents, and how Matt is acting out because of it. Such an important part of season three is the fear trauma instills on a person and the behaviors they’ll show because of it! These fears are used against the characters, ultimately making the entire season’s plot.

Matt ultimately sheds the green for his work-suit, which is notable because he’s going somewhere to (albeit fail due to manipulation) protect what he has left of his friends— he unintentionally sheds the mindset that Stick has left him with in his death, and is then baptized in shades of red again, both in lighting and in the stains on his skin and clothes. His own blood is where we see him in the color that truly represents what he is: violent and angry, but ultimately kind, caring, and quintessentially good.

We see him, again, try to evade these emotions while he dresses in a green hoodie. When he’s dressed as Daredevil he continues to only wear black and white, but as Matthew Murdock (whenever he’s conscious enough to choose his own clothes) he dresses in green. At this point, he only reverts back to his own philosophy when he’s weak and beaten enough to not think twice.

Finally we have Matt wear red (his glasses) in episode 6, when he’s willing to turn himself in for the sake of his friends. He realizes that there’s more important things than his own self-isolation, and makes an attempt at turning tides. Of course, this turns into the Bulletin attack, and he goes back to only wearing black and white.

The moment where we finally see Matt fully, actually dressed in red (besides the points where he’s bloody and tired, but I already explained my interpretation of that) is between episodes 10 and 11. The flood lighting present after Father Lantom’s murder bathes a beaten Matt fully in red, and then once the coast is clear and he and Karen and Maggie are in the basement we see my favorite part:

Maggie giving Matt the red shirt.

One thing I forgot to mention is that Matt reverted back to the green jacket/hat after he found out that Maggie was his mom— this hurt him, of course he’d relapse into a toxic mindset. The people closest to him in his life lied to him and he was scared and mad.

But Maggie always cared for him, and knew who he was deep down. Mad, sure, but inherently good and not willing to give up. The gloves she gave him to box in episode one had hints of red on the label; the neti pot she gifted him to clear his sinuses was the first real instance where he was covered in his own blood. She wanted her son to understand what she saw, even if one of her main flaws as a person is the difficulty she has communicating.

Because of all of this, the strength of the scene where she hands him a red shirt is incredible. It’s outright the first time he wears an entirely and intentionally red garment since Midland Circle. Karen has to nudge him into accepting it because of his apprehension, but he wears it anyway. He works with his friends again. He forgives. He’s violent, but kind. He’s working toward becoming himself and working through his depression again, and the symbolism of one shirt is genuinely one of my favorite parts of the entire show.

zeus and the muses!

Zeus: the three moments of 2021 when I felt the most powerful were the Cleopatra release party back in July, going to the beach at night and stargazing with my physics study group, and watching a dumb Daredevil post I made a couple days before Christmas blow up really really fast compared to anything else I've ever made online! All three are kind of different kinds of feeling powerful, but they all kind of float around finding your people and watching the things you create find success

The Muses: sing, O Muse, of Hannah, weaver of webs, creator of textposts, they who knot the Aristos community together!
