Love universes where Matt Murdock is a killer who works/worked for Fisk. Love that for me.

#I've known about Earth-65 for awhile #but just found out about Earth-181 #Also I go weak anytime Fisk canonically calls him “Matthew” #It's literally the little things #I just have so many questions about 181 #He still wears his Daredevil costume? #But he's an assassin for Fisk? #What is this backstory??? #He's like Murderdock but more... subservient?

Instead of just bringing other older characters from the MCU like kingpin, kate bishop, ant-man, daredevil for the mcu spider-man college storyline

Why not just give us characters that we haven’t seen yet in the MCU like gwen, harry, felicia or even a mcu version of norman osborn

If you people are going to say is “but he already fought green goblin in smnwh”, the reason why i want to see a mcu norman osborn is just to see how peter would interact to a guy that he hates so much and i want to see him as the main bad guy for the arc so peter can feel gaslighted by harry since harry is his best friend and he doesn’t want to say that he’s spider-man or saying that norman is a bad guy

And also…why not make a romantic subplot between felicia hardy who is in her teen college years and peter would somehow have feelings for her and move on with mj

“But he loves mj so much”

I feel like he has to move on already for her since that he’s in a different school already, he moves on the stark stuff, happy doesn’t even know him anymore, aunt may died, his best friend and girlfriend doesn’t even know him anymore and so he is now in a new life, no stark tech, no wealthy home, just a life where it’s hard but you can make it better

#i chose felicia cause even though i ship gweter but i feel like felicia fits the tone of her being the love interest with a tragic story #and let’s be honest though cause kingpin fits the role of being the villain of daredevil than spider-man #cause his name and tone fits for the game aesthetic for daredevil #kinda like bullseye when his name is also game-like #tombstone is the one that i can accept as a spider-man villain but he will fit as a spider-man villain…if black cat is including #hammerhead? i can just picture him as a hammerhead shark since that almost half of the spider-man villains are animal and creature-like #spider-man #mcu spider-man #spiderman #spiderman 4 #spider-man 4 #mcu spider-man 4 #gwen stacy #harry osborn #felicia hardy #black cat #peterfel #spidercat #norman osborn #the green goblin

[acorrespondence]

@freekicks Oh man I have lots; so many that I’m making this a new post so I don’t clog up that poor person’s replies with 50 messages, haha! Basically, it’s an expansion on the idea that everyone has headcanons/canon details that are absolutely integral to their enjoyment of the story and any transformative works based on it (hard), and headcanons/canon details that they’re fond of but could still get pretty much unaltered enjoyment out of a fic that contradicts them (soft). Obviously all these are just opinions and what I get out of the story isn’t and shouldn’t have to be the same as what anyone else gets out of it.

One thing that sort of falls in the middle of the headcanon/canon divide is Raylan’s age when his mother died. The show contradicts itself on this point several times, and so it’s sort of fungible. I personally find the idea that Raylan’s mother died when he was very young, like younger than Loretta, while it may serve the parallels between them, to be much less compelling than the idea that she died later. It’s just so much more… boring for a character whose mother died when he was ten or so to have a gross misrepresentation of who she was as a person in his mental image of her. It’s much more compelling to me if he held onto that despite direct evidence to the contrary that he was old enough to understand. Of course he’d forget the hatchet story if it happened when he was eight. If it happened when he was eighteen, that opens up a much realer possibility that he just straight up repressed it, which is fascinating. Also, I don’t think it makes sense if he grew up with Helen in the house for the second half of his life there. To me that doesn’t really jive with their current relationship. (And on a less story-driven note, I am fascinated by the idea that, if Raylan’s mother died when he was thirty, he might not have attended her funeral. Because part of him knew it would challenge the version of her he had to remember in order to maintain his black and white perception of the world.)

Obviously, the mine and what it represents is a necessary component (though the time and place less so—my Old Guard au places them in the miners’ strikes of the 30s, and I’ve read a wonderful fic where the mine in question was on a different planet entirely. However, it does have to be placed in Harlan, or whatever approximation of Harlan fits the broader setting). The boys and their relationships with their daddies is another nonnegotiable for me. Specifically, the way they grew up; different times and causes of death for Bo and Arlo can work just as well. If Raylan and Boyd don’t meet until they’re established adults, that immediately kills my interest. Their rich history is so integral to why I’m drawn to the ship in the first place. It’s a hard sell for me to have Boyd leave or Raylan stay directly after the mine, but I’ve been known to make an exception if the story is compelling enough and doesn’t sacrifice characterization.

I think Boyd’s criminal history is important, though the nature of it less so. And even more important is the fact that Boyd never really makes it big as a criminal—making him some kind of fief lord of crime makes him much less interesting to me. His plans only succeed inasmuch as he always manages to survive their unraveling. I think it’s important that he’s spent time incarcerated. I’m not a huge fan of stories where they meet again outside of Harlan and never go back, it takes away the central tension between them and the place that made them that Raylan so struggles with and Boyd embraces so wholly, which for me is a really interesting part of their relationship, this dichotomy. I also don’t care for stories that give them a ton of good friends outside each other, or casual friends who actually know them and hang out with them—they’re too big of assholes for that. Of course, this doesn’t include the characters they’re close with in canon; I love Raylan and Rachel’s friendship, in particular, and their understanding of each other despite their vast superficial differences is fascinating. I guess I should say instead that I don’t buy either of them having typical friendships, period. They’re just too weird and fucked up for that. They trauma bonded at nineteen and it continues to be one of the most important relationships in either of their lives. Winona puts up with Raylan’s relational weirdness for love; no one is doing that for their drinking buddy. So they may have close friendships, but they don’t look the way you’d expect.

I’d never make their relationship uncomplicatedly sweet and unfraught, or sand down the kind of feral edges of it, and I don’t think they’d be much for traditional PDA—I just love the way in canon the physical (and otherwise) manifestations of their intimacy are so outside of what’s expected from buddies OR lovers. In the same vein, I don’t love it when Raylan goes crazy with the terms of endearment, because he doesn’t use them much with his love interests in canon. I have him use them with the girls in heavy heart more as verbal tics he picked up after spending too much time around Boyd, who LOVES to use them, plus I think he models at least some of his displays of parental affection after Helen, who canonically calls him “honey”. I’m fine with Boyd throwing endearments around liberally; I just don’t do it in my own fics because I love the way in canon he twists Raylan’s name itself into almost an endearment. He just can’t stop saying it every other sentence, so why would he give up the chance to say it by replacing it with another word? Plus, it fits in with how weird they are about each other in general.

More broadly, I have never really enjoyed full aus (based on any story) that don’t try to approximate at least the broader beats of place and history from canon, but I really really love stories that manage it. I respect authors who can sort of map canon onto a completely different stage, like the space au mentioned above, so much. I hope that I manage that at least somewhat with catching bullets.

That’s all the big ones I can think of at the moment, though I’m sure there’s more I’ve forgotten (most of the rest fall more under ic-ness vs ooc-ness, which is harder to articulate; “what makes them themselves?” is a much more difficult question). Ultimately, I think probably a lot of these come across through cross-referencing both of my WIPs—basically, if it shows up in both, there’s a very good chance it’s a nonnegotiable for me, and if it changes between the two, then I can obviously live without it.

#blanket disclaimer that these are just my personal tastes and everyone is going to have different things they could take or leave abt canon! #justified #raylan/boyd #yeats freekicks #writing #catching bullets #heavy heart #long post #my fic #caveat to most of these is: without a very good reason that maintains the spirit of the law if not the letter #or is really well explained by the story in a way that acknowledges its importance #but makes the divergence necessary #sorry if this ruins anyone’s dreams of me one day righting a fic where they were never in the mines bc raylan was born to a loving father in #miami and only met boyd the wildly successful drug kingpin when he was assigned to kentucky and had to leave his 137 good friends #the existence and relevance of bowman winona and ava is also important to me #wrt fusion aus i’m just personally looking for ‘what would these elements to *this* story’ #not ‘what would these characters add to this other story’ #because for me pretty much all of who they are as characters is tied to their history so an honest au of this kind REQUIRES ooc-ness #at which point they’re not the same characters #and you’ve lost me completely lol

I miss Matt wearing silly and or actual disguises all the time back in vol 1 he was legit the Spy from team fortress 2. He would be putting on a wig and hat and be like "If Foggy finds out that I can shapeshift he is going to tell the church."

Until I get some ML content I don't have much to post but I have to cuz I won't shut up and since I'm obsessed with Spider-Verse again I will rank all characters in the film from best to worst:

10. I

9. Can't

8. Find

7. A single

6. Bad character

5. Cuz

4. They're

3. All

2. Brilliant

1. Kingpin

#he's the only character in that movie that makes me hate him so much they're all cool but he's a pig Gwen was right about him #i will never forgive him for killing off two great characters #it's all cuz he's a bastard he blamed Spider-Man cuz his wife hated him for being a villain #and he tried to kill Miles several times he knew Miles is a child it's that obvious #when Gwen called him a pig i felt that girl i felt that I hate him so much #fuck kingpin all my homies hate kingpin #also he looks like a bowling ball go roll to hell where you came from #spider man into the spider verse #kingpin

[hollowsart]

I got some smoochies for Kingpin if he wants'em. I've seen the other rouges get a lot of affection, so I feel like it's only fair.

I MEAN.

If you wanna go for it, I ain't gonna hold you back from smooching the big guy Lol

Everyone deserves a bit of love, even big evil kingpins of crime.

[macbethvsromeo]

despite the validity in the statement that Miles himself is an anomaly, would he even be the original?

like, Miguel said that the spider that bit him was supposed to go to someone else in another universe and that there’s a world without a Spider-Man bc it went to him instead but like

by his logic, everything that happened before Miles’ bite was so far “canon”. what’s included in this canon is the fact that the spider was brought over by Alchemax (by the Spot), way before Miles got bit

and there was already a Spider-Man in universe so my lil half-assed theory is that Earth-1610 (Miles universe) is in itself an anomaly, instead of just Miles.

coz yeah, if the spider hadn’t bit Miles, Earth-1610 Peter would still be alive and had stopped the collider BUT the spider had already been brought over by that time so it still would’ve gone to someone, even if it wasn’t Miles.

idk if any other Alchemax got as far as Earth-1610’s did but that was also bc of Kingpin so 🤷‍♀️

#across the spiderverse #across the spider verse spoilers #atsv spoilers #atsv #also I don’t wanna say Miguel is completely wrong #coz like yeah he’s only ever been the example #but also we’ve seen this happen slightly when Kingpin tried to change his own ‘canon’ event #or! idk if it’s even really canon #strange they didn’t touch upon kingpin’s role in it #Miguel is shady tho ngl

[transgender-catboy]

Nothin makes me sadder than this, ya know? He was just a kid when he got bit

He was just a kid when he saw the hero of his city die brutally

He was just a kid when he had to take in that role of hero by himself

He was just kid when he watched his uncle die

And he was a kid when he felt betrayed by his friends, left in another dimension with the ghost of his uncle and a warped version of himself, and ultimately, alone.

#like #13-14 because he's 15 in atsv #if you think what kingpin did wasn't brutal #reevaluate #man probably caved his chest in with that slam #sure #he had a mentor for that brief bit of time #but after that #he was alone for at least a year #figuring it all out by himself #imagine having to be a superhero while also processing the fact that your uncle #someone you loved and looked up to #was not only a villian #but he died #because of you #because he couldn't kill you #there's gotta be some kinda survivors guilt with that. right? #idk man #kid makes me think a lot #i know being a hero comes with responsibility and loss #but it just makes me so fucking sad and angry when all of that is thrust upon a child #it's not fair to them. ya know? #they didn't ask for that role #that's just how the cards were dealt #fate is cruel. #I dunno man. i just dont know #anyways. thats todays emotional ramble

the thing about breaking bad is that it opens with the suggestion that marie is the most annoying member of the family but it very quickly becomes clear that she's only so annoying because she's surrounded by complete assholes at literally all times

#and her nephew whos a genuinely sweet kid . but also an asshole a bit. from the being fifteen years old #like hes allowed to be an asshole he's in tenth grade and his father is the uptight meth kingpin of the greater albuqurque area #breaking bad #q

❛  you look like you could use a hand with that.  ❜

Ekko went very still.

S h i t.

He was here.

And despite all his furious struggling, Ekko's leg was still stuck under the rebar.

Shit, shit, shit -!

With the dreadful realisation that he was trapped, The Firelight leader snapped his attention to his approaching enemy. He was deeply grateful for the stoic inscrutabillity of his mask. It hid his wide eyes, how frightened and panicked he truly was. What the hell was Silco doing here? This was supposed to have been just a regular Shimmer shipment raid. Things weren't supposed to have gone this badly wrong. Had he fallen for some kind of trap?

Stall for time.

The others would regroup and come for him. They were probably already looking.

Ekko started patting down his pockets as though he was looking for something, reached into one of them as if he'd found what he was looking for, and then drew out his middle finger.

"You look like your makeup needs redoing," he retorted, relying on the distortion of his mask's voice-changer to obscure his breathless anxiety. The blackened, scarred flesh bleeding through the smudged human facade, in combination with that infernal unblinking eye, made his enemy look even more monstrous up close - like a creature the depths had chewed up and spat back out.

Fuck, I'm so screwed.

chip zdarsky get better at writing characters challenge

Seriously tho the way his daredevil run likes introducing cool story ideas that have the potential for really fun character dynamics and then just. not pay that off. and just in general pretend characters have Deep and Meaningful relationships when said relationships were completely unexplored in his writing

#case in point matt being super mad that kingpin killed his bro #when every single interaction theyd had prior was hostile on matts ends #and not even a single thought/line of dialgoue suggesting he cared for his brother #also remember when foggy/kirsten/mike were gonna defend matt in court and i got so hyped for some fun interactions? #and then nothing came from it? #or when matt brought foggy along his lame trip to take down the hand and just barely acknowledged him in the next chapter? #AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON MATT AND ELEKTRAS RELATIONSHIP #even tho they’re married now it feels like they have no chemistry #the only part of the current run that i remember being like. good in terms of character #was when all his superhero friends staged an intervention after he accidentally killed someone #or the mike murdock daredevil annual #wheres that energy. the comics are so boring rn #damn I’m really just being a negative namcy this weekend what’s going on #amy reads daredevil

[shokuto]

A really underrated aspect of Spider-Man's origin is the search for Uncle Ben's killer. There's a small window of time where it looks like he's going to kill this man who murdered his father when he finds him. There's a spider on his back whispering "get him" and he's listening.

#There needs to be a story honoring the unsung character that is Peter Parker's stance on killing #It's so fluid. Way more fluid than what people think #He spares the life of Ben's murderer but also flings a bag of pumpkin bombs at Green Goblin in the heat of the moment #He avows no one around him gets to die meanwhile some years before he swore vengence on Kingpin on the chance his Aunt dies in the ICU #It's so human. Naturally we don't *want* anyone around us to die. Hopefully anyway. But everyone has their limit #And though he practices restraint everyday holding back his punches he still gets some form of gratification #From enacting violence on the bad guys seeing as he spent so much of his life being the weak one. It's insane #peter parker #spiderman
