"For women, only one standard of female beauty is sanctioned: the girl. The great advantage men have is that our culture allows two standards of male beauty: the boy and the man. The beauty of a boy resembles the beauty of a girl. In both sexes it is a fragile kind of beauty and flourishes naturally only in the early part of the life-cycle. Happily, men are able to accept themselves under another standard of good looks — heavier, rougher, more thickly built. A man does not grieve when he loses the smooth, unlined, hairless skin of a boy. For he has only exchanged one form of attractiveness for another: the darker skin of a man’s face, roughened by daily shaving, showing the marks of emotion and the normal lines of age. There is no equivalent of this second standard for women. The single standard of beauty for women dictates that they must go on having clear skin. Every wrinkle, every line, every gray hair, is a defeat. No wonder that no boy minds becoming a man, while even the passage from girlhood to early womanhood is experienced by many women as their downfall, for all women are trained to want to continue looking like girls." — Excerpt from Susan Sontag's 1978 essay The Double Standard of Aging

I randomly remembered the movie Lars and the Real Girl which i watched years ago and oh my gooodddd

[maybeimafriad]

Yes! Also i LOVED all the little nods to the comics in the last episodes!

Gosh Daredevil Born Again feels so much like the comics purely for how heavily it's leaning into Matt's cocky sass.

This man hasn't stopped snarking and now he's whistling as he re-enters a bank in the middle of an armed robbery.

I'm really watching the comics come to life.

this applies to both of them

i broke my right hand i cant do anything im so depressseeddd

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

WHY YOU SHOULD WRITE HORRIBLY:

1. You’ll never write anything if you don’t

Everyone shut up they found Patrick and Spongebag

This is so funny to me. Dudes didn’t even go “huh?”

its still so fucking funny that those two cops got their shit absolutely demolished by a lawyer with no light perception and they just shrugged and went
