I had an idea where Matt had dreams about Frank and he was massively in denial about them being sexual in nature. But! I gave up because I realized I didn’t have an actual plot… Just various dreams, some interrupted earlier than others.

little design challenge for myself. designing dragons for different genres.

I made a bad comic and now you have to look at it

i never realized cuneiform was made with the corner of a cuboid tool, i thought the wedge shapes were carved such that you would press straight down with the tool at a 90° angle to the clay

im honestly in love with like every detail of the matt and frank scene

the fact that matt already knows where he lives. i was scared they were going to say something to imply that they havent seen each other since dds2 but thats obviously not the case. theyve kept up a relationship over the years. matt calls him buddy. theyre allies enough that they can go to each other for help, but they also fight every time. thats exactly what i wanted tbh

frank taking pills. hes what, mid to late forties now? and have you seen the beatings he takes? of course he has pain. i know that a character taking pills always is supposed to imply they have a problem, and that definitely could be the case, but either way i took it as a realistic consequence of the life he leads

we all knew that frank didnt kill hector, and matt knows that frank doesnt mark his own bullet casings. but i still appreciated that not for an instant did matt even imply that frank had something to do with it. at most he just figured frank was keeping an eye on his punisher fanboys

"its matthew!" i fucking loved this line actually. its not like he was gonna say its red or daredevil, because hes still desperately trying not to be that. he has for sure told frank at least a couple times that hes not daredevil anymore, and the first thing he does is reaffirm that. but then frank only ever calls him red, because he has never actually believed that matt could leave it behind forever

frank is living in kinda a shithole, full of guns, very utilitarian, jumpy and defensive, ragged looking, vaguely injured, still doing his punisher work and nothing else and its wearing on him. so..... exactly what i was expecting, actually. i suppose theres a scenario where hes living in some fancy high tech arsenal setup. but really, when has frank ever prioritized taking care of himself past the minimum? at least hes doing better than his early punisher s1, construction job, barely speaking or sleeping for months era.

but who, between frank who looks like hell and matt in his fancy suit, is actually doing better right now? well, matt is so deep in repression and denial that hes built himself a life he doesnt like and cant even say foggys name. but frank has always been incredibly honest about what he does and why he does it. matt so desperately needed some honesty from someone who understands him, and by god did frank deliver

wait but what if matt and frank were fake dating tho

Interview link

This interview with Phil Silvera has a few interesting tidbits.

First is that Bullseye isn't killing at random in Josie's, he's targeting immediate threats. Which confirms even more in my head that shooting Foggy in the chest was an intentional choice, like I've been saying all along! It's just an unexplained choice at the moment.

Second is that Matt choosing to kill Bullseye is a direct thematic parallel to him choosing not to kill Muse. (And cementing that choice again with Cole North.) And also that Angela's fading heartbeat during the Muse fight is supposed to invoke Foggy's fading heartbeat in yours and Matt's mind.

Third is that in early versions of Frank vs the AVTF, the reason Frank went after them was because the AVTF had Karen captured in some capacity. There's a Kastle crumb for ya.

And finally, he says multiple times that the opening sequence (including Foggy's death) was because Dario and Sana have a "specific vision" for the show. So I swear to god if Foggy's not alive, it's on THEM! And if anyone has snit about about blaming Dario and Sana for it, I will flip a lid!

When Matt and Frank fuck and Matt’s cross necklace accidentally gets threaded through Frank’s wedding ring and gets the chains a little tangled together.

How am I not supposed to love him... He's just so eccentric and hilarious

my contributing to how I think ddba season 2 will go

[mahouikemen]

I think comic bros would have me publicly executed for this take, but… Frank is very much obviously in-love with Matt, right?

[mahouikemen]
