I feel like Matt Murdock would be shit at hiding in hide and seek cause he has no frame of reference for line of sight cause he hasn’t had one in like 20 years. This man would hide behind a desk or something and think he’s totally out of sight but in reality he’s visible from three different angles.

OPEN LETTER TO FANFICTION WRITERS ON ACCESSIBILITY; PLEASE READ.
first of all, thank you for spending your time, seldom acknowledged and definitely deserving of a compensation you are not receiving, to entertain us. i’m speaking on behalf of more than just blind readers, but everyone. you’re sick as hell.
i’ve summoned you to provide some information you may not already know. i know a lot of you like fonts. especially those who cross post their work on wattpad. i admire any and all acts of aestheticism to a degree, and can understand the desire to use them. (blind folk, sorry y’all. momma’s making a point.) 𝔰𝔱𝔲𝔣𝔣 𝔩𝔦𝔨𝔢 𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔰, it’s cute. 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 is a little cuter to me, if i had to choose. or maybe 𝓈𝑜𝓂𝑒𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈?
now, sighted folk: if you’re on mobile, i implore you to participate in a little exercise for me. select this text and scroll through all the copy/paste/define/‘search the web’ options until you get to the speak portion. if you need to change a setting for your phone to do so, would you mind? i’d really appreciate it.
please make your phone read aloud part of my post, and be sure to include any bits with those super cute fonts. 𝕚’𝕝𝕝 𝕥𝕒𝕔𝕜 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕠𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕖𝕟𝕕 𝕠𝕗 𝕞𝕪 𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕒, 𝕣𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖. 𝕚 𝕙𝕠𝕡𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕚𝕤 𝕥𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕤𝕝𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕔𝕠𝕣𝕣𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕝𝕪, 𝕚 𝕕𝕠𝕟’𝕥 𝕨𝕒𝕟𝕥 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕝𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕠𝕟 𝕥𝕠 𝕓𝕖 𝕤𝕢𝕦𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕕 𝕓𝕪 𝕥𝕪𝕡𝕠𝕤 𝕚 𝕔𝕒𝕟’𝕥 𝕤𝕖𝕖.
whether you participated and discovered it for yourself or you thought this was a crock of shit you’d rather not sniff, i’ll tell you! screen readers cannot dictate words using those fonts. at least, on a majority of devices. not mine, or any of my mutuals elsewhere.
you do not have to change your behavior on my behalf, but please be aware that fonts limit access to your work.
blind readers do exist, i exist, and i am bound by the same feelings of dogged longing that make other sad horny bitches read angsty, smutty, father-wounded nonsense.
thanks for making it this far. i really hope my sincerity is being conveyed, reading makes me so happy and i’m not the only person on this app who relies on accessibility settings more often than not. do with this information what you will, and have the day you deserve!

Peter: Mr Stark I'm going to hell
Tony: You're not religious, Pete. You don't even believe in hell
Peter: I beat up a blind man
Tony: What. The. Fuck.
Clint: Not cool, man
Peter: I didn't know he was blind!
Tony: how could you not tell he was blind!?
Peter: he was wearing a costume and I thought he was trying to mug some guys so I stopped him but it turns out he was stopping them from chasing this other guy!
Tony: A blind man was beating people up? Thats pretty impressive
Peter: Right!? Then he went to a dumpster-
Clint: Oh don't worry about that Pete- that's just Matt
Peter: you know him?
Clint: yeah he's a great guy, we shared a dumpster once. He always loses his canes
Tony: a deaf guy is friends with a blind guy? How do you talk?
Clint: we usually just skip the talking and get straight to the vigilante stuff
Peter: awesome

This (old) tweet is worded in such a weird way...? Matt didn't fake being blind, what a careless way of wording it. Too many people already think Matt isn't blind just because of his senses and shit like this definitely fueled the fire.
Tumblr media
MATT IS BLIND, GUYS. THAT'S WHY THE SHOW DEPICTS HIM USING BLINDNESS ASSISTIVE DEVICES. THAT'S WHY HIS EYES CANNOT PERCEIVE LIGHT AS SHOWN WHEN THEY SHONE A FLASHLIGHT AT MATT'S EYES.
HE HAS NEVER "FAKED BEING BLIND".
This is why actors should just shut the fuck up instead of tweeting ableist-worded shitty takes. For what anyway? For the sake of shipping wars? Insufferable.
P.S Now why didn't she address all the times Karen has lied? But that's a topic for another day, since this is about addressing the highly ignorant and ableist take that Matt's blindness is "fake".

Blind Faith Masterlist
Pairing: Matt Murdock x Reader
Summary: One college-drunken night, you didn't expect to be saved by the man in the mask. You didn't expect him to agree to walk you home, either. You especially didn't expect to enter into an affair with the masked vigilante. That's what happens when you follow faith blindly. You let yourself fall in love, with someone who won't even tell you who he is. On top of pining for the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, you have to graduate NYU, take the LSAT, keep this secret, manage your social life and an internship at a law firm named Nelson & Murdock.

I'm rewatching all the Marvel Defenders shows on Netflix and as much as I mock the MCU now, I need non-Marvel fans to understand that I was and still am a fan of "Daredevil fighting the gentrifying assshole who bought out the police force because ACAB both as a lawyer and vigilante of the community" and "Jessica Jones fighting the man who mind controlled her into doing unspeakable things and forming a community of fellow survivors and allies while dealing with PTSD in a range of both healthy and unhealthy ways" Marvel. God I love these idiots they carried so hard
#vio.txt#mcu#marvel#jessica jones#daredevil#also the two of them induced so much bi panic in me. also gender envy. jessica jones is one of the few women i get gender envy fron#the iron fist and luke cage shows were...more mid but still leagues above current marvel shows#like. yes be anti-mcu but these were masterpieces#and yes this is why i was so pissed about them putting daredevil in she hulk and trying to make him iron man 2.0#like! yes hes suave and charming but thats bc its his lawyer job!! he works in a law firm he and his friends started to serve his community#he is NOT 'i am rich and better than u' charming. he is 'i learned how to talk fancy for my degree and i have empathy' charming#and not bringing the other guys over either???? bruhhh#marvel really cancelled the best things they did on the screen#matt murdock my original red and black round glasses wearing sadboy what did they do to you#also!! can i mention that these shows had such better representation than nowadays marvel#murdock's actor doing extensive research on blind motility for the role#jessica and trish's friendship and how trish immediately believes jess about kilgrave#the whole!!! unique community feel of harlem and in luke's bar#hogarth whos both jessica's employer and foggy's boss in later seasons being a lesbian and having Real Marriage Issues#and also being a conplex and kinda shitty person#iron fist was....eh but that's why it was the worst one lmao#OH YEAH HOW COULD I FORGET MY GIRL KAREN#karen page getting a whole storyline in s1 about her dealing w ptsd and then getting fleshed out backstory and her own adventures#like ok it was kinda weird in daredevil that she dated like every guy bc she was the female lead 💀#but even then foggy and matt and her figuring their shit out like adults. like they shot their shots and it didnt pan out. still besties th#disney would never allow such good writing in current times#but a boy can wish

Blind Double Date
Summary: Your friend Foggy sets you up with his best friend Matt
Written for: @the-slumberparty
Words: 1246
Square Filled: G4- Set Up by Friends
Pairing: Matt Murdoch x Female Reader
Warnings: None
Ever since you first step foot in your Thursday night cooking class, you and Foggy Nelson had been pretty much inseparable. He was funny, really good to talk to and offered great advice if you had a problem. In short, Foggy was like a brother to you. In turn, Foggy had come to see you as a kind of sister. You also both often spoke about your love-lives. Foggy became protective when he heard of guys harassing you and you gave him advice on women.
Another Thursday night rolled around and you arrived at your usual spot, waving Foggy over as soon as he walked in.
“Hey, Y/N! How was your date last Friday?” Foggy asked, taking his place next to you.
“Not bad. Not great, but not bad,” you sighed.
“Yeah?”
“He was an okay guy, it’s just… I don’t know. Maybe my romance button is broken or needs resetting or something…” you shrugged, looking over this week’s recipe.
Foggy laughed and looked it over too.
“For what it’s worth, I get what you’re saying. My date last weekend wasn’t all that great either.”
As you started preparing your ingredients, you and Foggy lamented over your failed dates and complained about the state of your romantic lives. Sure, you could cut out the middleman and just date each other but you decided it might get awkward if things went wrong and you still had to come to this class every week. Also, you had become such great friends, the last thing you wanted to do was lose what you had.
“How about we set each other up with dates?” you suggested.
“Sounds good to me… got someone in mind?” he asked, turning down the heat on the cooking appliance.
“You know my friend Gracie?” you prompted, adding your ingredients to the mix.
“Is that the same Gracie that was caught topless sunbathing at what she thought was a nude beach?” he questioned.
“That’s the one,” you grinned.
During your time together, you had told Foggy many stories about your friend Gracie and her various antics.
“Heck yeah! Set that up!” he grinned back.
“What about you? Got someone in mind for me?”
“Sure do. You remember my friend Matt?”
“That’s your law firm partner, right?” you asked.
Foggy often spoke very highly of Matt, and had said a lot about him.
“Yep. How about him?” Foggy suggested.
“Sounds perfect,” you smiled.
“Great! So, I’ll set you up with Matt and you’ll set me up with Gracie.”
As you continued your cooking class, the pair of you discussed the best time for your blind double date.
The next night, you and Gracie went to the restaurant that you and Foggy agreed upon at the agreed time. Your friend asked you all sorts of questions while you waited for the two males to arrive.
“Y/N?”
You turned to see Foggy with another man standing behind him. The man was brunette with a little stubble and wearing red glasses. You thought he was quite handsome. Introductions were exchanged and the four of you sat down. From that first moment, Gracie and Foggy made an instant connection, chatting away about this and that but for you and Matt, things were a little different. Connecting with other adults never came easy to you and you had the feeling Matt was a little guarded.
“So, Y/N, Foggy tells me you’re a teacher,” he began, trying to strike up a conversation.
“That’s right. I mostly work with underprivileged kids and those that the school has more or less given up on. I can see these kids trying so hard but so many people have turned their backs on them because they can’t be bothered. I want to show them that there’s someone out there who does care…”
Matt smiled warmly.
“I know what you mean. Foggy and I take on cases for people that society have given up on. It’s like they think the problem will go away on its own rather than deal with it before it gets to breaking point.”
“Exactly!”
With the ice broken, you felt a little more at ease. For you, that was one of the more difficult parts of being set up with a complete stranger; making small talk until you found that connection. The pair of you continued discussing the similarities between your jobs while Foggy and Gracie continued to get along. So well along that they decided to ditch the pair of you to get a room. Feeling a little abandoned by your friend, you started feeling that uneasiness again.
“I get the feeling you want to go home?” Matt asked, picking up on something you were putting out there.
“It’s not that… It’s just… Every time I go on a date lately, I just… I don’t know. Maybe I’m not giving the guys a long enough chance. I mean, how well can you get to know a person over one dinner?”
Matt was silent for a few minutes.
“How about this… we go for a walk, spend a little more time with each other. If at the end of it, you don’t feel anything, you tell me to buzz off, no harm done…” You laughed a little at that. “But if you feel sparks… we can see where this goes,” he suggested.
“I’d really like that…”
After paying for your meals, you headed down the street. You held onto Matt’s arm partly as a guide, partly because it made you feel safe. As you walked, you got through all those basic “Getting to know you” questions that were common on a first date but not one did you feel awkward. At one point, you stopped to get some frozen yoghurt from a nice little shop nearby. You read the flavours out to Matt so he could make a decision and described the interior of the shop to him while you sat and ate. When you were finished, Matt walked you to your door.
“So… here we are… What’s the verdict?” Matt grinned.
“Hm, I don’t know… usually the goodnight kiss makes the final cut,” you playfully teased.
“Shall we?” he asked.
Smiling, you gently pressed your lips to his. Matt’s hands made their way to your cheeks, his thumbs stroking your skin. This is what you had built up in your head; a great date ending with the perfect kiss. His hands didn’t roam, his breath was fresh and you could feel butterflies in your stomach. This is everything you were looking for. As you pulled away, you had a dreamy smile on your face.
“So… is this the part you tell me to buzz off?”
You laughed and playfully punched his chest.
“No. That… that was a really good kiss,” you breathed.
“Do you want to see where this goes?” he asked.
“I do, Matt… I really do…”
After saying your goodbyes, Matt waited to make sure you were safe inside before heading off.
The following Thursday, you and Foggy celebrated over your successful dates for the night as you started cooking. Neither of you could believe your luck that you both walked away from what could have been awkward blind dates with potential new relationships. You couldn’t wait to see where they would lead you.

Our poor Broke As Fuck Matt Murdock had to pay $100-$1000 (depending on his plan) for JAWS on his laptop and $300-$1000 for an electronic braille display and another $1000-$2000 for his embossing printer we see in the defenders. Like that man can’t afford that shit.  Being disabled is expensive as fuck y’all and Matt certainly didn’t have money to spare.

Random Child: It’s so cool that Daredevil’s just like me!
Nanny: And why’s that, honey?
Child: Like, sensory stuff gets overwhelming for him and Spidey, and they can still be heroes!
Child: He’s not good at eye contact either, but that’s okay. His hero friends are really cool about it anyways!
Child: Mom was right; being Autistic is awesome!
Daredevil, 6 blocks away: Aww.
-3 days later-
Spider-Man: Hey Double-D, long time no see!
Daredevil: Always is, webhead.
Spider-Man: Whatcha been up to lately?
Daredevil: Not much, but this kid said the cutest thing the other day.
Spider-Man: Are you gonna tell me or just keep it to yourself?
Daredevil: They were just really happy to see autistic adults being heroes.
Spider-Man: Wait, you’re autistic?
Matt, assuming Peter also got clocked at 7: You didn’t know yet??

matt murdock would be able to tell if you’re on your period. therefore he carries supplies around with him at all times and hands them out to random strangers who have started without realizing.
