“i guess so” was so insane of buck to say. what do you mean you guess so. there was no reason to respond like that. why not just say yeah. YEAH. YOUR ATTENTION. what was the point of i guess so. he looks soooo relieved to have an answer for his feelings but he’s saying i guess so. girl what. what! you’re guessing? you still don’t know for sure? he’s standing in front of you and you still can’t conjure up an emphatic yes? you’re acting in ways so strange your sister is baffled? you don’t even know why your father figure would approve of your relationship? you don’t know what you’re ready for? you don’t know why you lied to your best friend or why you hurt him? you’re just not certain of anything? “i guess so” WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY KNOW!!!

more of the cheating fic and Hen being done with Buck's bs, bc I really wanna finish this fic soon and need motivation and to stop jumping around my wips so much (easier said than done tho lol) 🤣 it's only 11k so far but I decided to divide it into chapters, this is chapter 3, there might be 5 or 6 overall, we'll see haha

“No, I- I asked her to move in with me instead.” he admits, immediately feeling embarrassed, and Hen’s eyebrows shoot up.

“You what?” she almost yells, but catches herself in time, lowering her voice. “Buck, this is honestly, genuinely, the stupidest thing I’ve heard you do.” she shakes her head slowly, looking at Buck with wide eyes. “Why?”

“I don’t know, it just slipped out. I just- I wanted to give us a shot.” he mumbles, looking down at the table, not wanting to meet Hen’s eyes. “I think I might fall for her eventually.” he adds quietly, and hears a deep, tired sigh.

“It’s too early for this shit, Jesus.” Out of the corner of his eye Buck sees Hen rubbing her forehead with a pained expression, then take a long sip of coffee. “A question to move in together, which is a huge step in a relationship, ‘just slipped out’? And you don’t even love her?”

“I don’t know, I wasn’t thinking.” he shrugs, his face burning.

“When do you ever?” she sighs again, closes her eyes for a second.

So the news about Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll not being asked to return for Daredevil: Born Again is complete and utter bullshit. Not only is it unfair to them as actors who have bonded with these characters, it's unfair to the audience and fans of Daredevil.

I can maybe, maybe understand why they're leaving out Karen. Maybe. She's been dead in the comics for 24 years, hasn't even gotten a resurrection like most other Marvel characters have. In universe 616, she's gone. But the event that killed her had massive repercussions for Matt's character. He changed after it happened. If they wanted to kill off Karen in the MCU, the very least they could do is make it happen on screen. Even if it happens in the first episode, that's something the audience needs to see and it needs to be done with care.

But Foggy? Yeah, no. Absolutely not. He's as much a part of Daredevil as Elektra is. Far more than the Punisher. He is to Matt Murdock what MJ Watson is to Peter Parker. He's been with Matt through thick and thin, and has never abandoned his side. When Matt got Dr. Strange to wipe the world's memory of him (a la ASM One More Day) who was the one person that remembered Matt's identity? Who was the only person who Matt didn't attack on sight when he was controlled by Mephisto? Who was willing to change their diet just to take the edge off of Matt's super senses? Foggy fucking Nelson.

These two characters are the most important people in regards to Matt Murdock. You can't have Daredevil without them near him, alive or not. Doing Born Again without them should be a crime.

Unfortunately for everyone involved, Brent doesn't understand the concept of being bought a joke, like, why would someone SPEND MONEY on a joke? Since Karen's his friend and bought him a shirt, he's like. Legally obligated to wear it at least once... ? Probably?

So while he suffers over the idea of wearing it and not wanting to wear it at work he eventually would wear it and Karen would suffer the fact she needs to actually not try to joke too much in a teasing way if it's gonna be Treated Seriously. Right suffering from being gay because oh, Brent looks nice in color. (Chris would find out about it at work that he missed Brent in color and just stares at Karen because she is an absolute menace how did she manage that.)

Nancy: Sorry we skipped school.

Karen: Why did you skip school?

Mike: We were trying to save the world and solve a murder.

Ted: That's no excuse for skipping school.

Mike: Okay, Department of Education.

there’s something about the events leading up to billy being flayed that i can’t stop thinking about

like you’ve got this 17 year old who gets sent out to look for his little sister and he winds up at a much older woman’s house where he essentially has to flirt with her to get the information he needs and she reciprocates, all while knowing he’s underage

then the whole situation at the byers happens and no one sees it the way billy does, no one except for him seems to realise that it’s fucking weird for steve to be in the middle of nowhere with a group of kids while lying about it, no one believes billy and he still comes out worse in the end with him being even more isolated than he already was

and then you move onto season 3 and you have the first episode where a newly 18 year old billy is introduced by being sexualised and objectified by a group of women way older than him, karen included, and it’s made obvious that they had to have learnt his work schedule by the way they talk and that they do this often which.. yeah

then billy goes up to karen and she reciprocates his flirting once again and agrees to meet up with him later with the full intention of having sex with him out at some motel somewhere, despite knowing his age

and it’s so wild to me that all of this predatory behaviour is what actually lead to billy crashing his car - he was literally on his way to see karen when it happened, that’s the only reason he was ever there - and that all of this grooming is essentially what lead to billy being attacked in such a brutal way that is so reminiscent of sa

then there’s the scene after he gets dragged to the basement where he manages to call 911 and he doesn’t answer when asked what his emergency is because he doesn’t know what to say/doesn’t think he’ll even be believed which is all too common among victims

and then you circle back to the night at the byers, the night where billy’s seen as irrational for thinking anything’s off, where he ends up being the person ‘in the wrong’ and where all of that happened right after karen started being predatory towards him and the first time he was (unknowingly) in a situation relating to the upside down

i have a lot of thoughts

something about the chain of events leading up to billy being flayed, about how everything is so interconnected and how that works when you’re looking at it in this specific way

something about grooming, something about victims not being believed, something about billy in particular never being believed and people blaming things on how he acts rather than seeing that the way he acts is a direct result of things that have happened to him

something about how he’s immediately isolated after the fight at the byers, something about how isolated he is after he’s attacked, the way his demeanour changes when he leaves karen’s house, how his behaviour seems to change after the byers, and how his behaviour changes completely once he’s attacked

how all of it fits this allegory, right from the start
