honestly something i love in the punisher and could write full on essays on is the contrast between billy and frank’s obviously mutually violent and painful (and still yet tender) relationship, and the purposeful similarities between billy’s violent and his more sexual scenes and how they were done very similarly.

Billy clearly associates pleasure with pain, its all he’s really ever known. Him being in pain and seeing others in pain are shown throughout the show unlike how its shown on others. On others it’s uncomfortable or upsetting, but with him its more constantly sexual or somehow pleasing both for him in universe, and to watch. I mean, there are many examples of it (the “goddamn frankie” moment, a lot of his scenes with krista in s2 and more.) He’s a masochist, there’s no getting past it, but the narrative too intertwines pain and violence with sex and pleasure like it does with no other character. Its there in the setting of a scene, in the tone, the way he presents himself, and of course dialogue and the way he speaks.

And of course, no one provokes this more than Frank. No one hurts Billy more than Frank does, and vice versa. Billy doesn’t love anyone as much as he loves Frank (excluding himself, of course.) Their relationship throughout the series is held together by violence, they are violent characters, but Billy’s associations with violence makes this so much more interesting. He hurts Frank so much, and he hurts Billy back, so why are they so close still? Why does Billy still adore him so much, because he does. He so clearly does. Billy’s love language is violence, his affection is pain.

And sure, Billy is fucked up, even this makes that clear. But he is so starved for affection, and with his form of affection being like that, Frank hurting him feels affectionate. Frank trying to kill him feels tender. Their mutual violence is so sexual and this is why. Its all there in the subtext. Their violence means that they love one another, in sone fucked up way, or at least for Billy it does (not so much Frank but its definitely still there). I know that sounds like some cliché enemies to lovers bullshit but with them its true, its a constant.

i’d like to add a tldr as i know this is a bit long but honestly idk how to sum this up, even typing this out was a little confusing so i hope i got my point across okay and this doesn’t just look like some stupid rambling 😅 I love Billy truly, I think he’s easily one of the most interesting characters Marvel has ever adapted, and this is just one of the many reasons why.

You absolutely cannot tell me that Lawrence Gordon, middle aged sexually repressed homo who's been craving dick since college, was faced with the sight of a soaking wet twink and didn't have a single unsavory thought

what if zoro was just a really butch woman this whole time and sanji was the only one who didnt know.

the fact he didnt realize despite his womanizer thing was funny at first but now everyone is like... genuinely afraid he'll have a heart attack if he ever finds out.

meanwhile zoro is just waiting for the perfect chance to drop that bomb

GUN LOG FILE [?????]—a hedgehog that sprouted from the ground (so records say). in truth, 'sprout' is the result of a black arms egg that came into contact with certain biodata in its time before hatching.
