His Thumb On Her Cheek... The Hand On The Side Of Her Neck... THE FOREHEAD KISS!!! Please I'm Weeping.

Are y'all telling me this is not the mental conversation they were having

headcanons are so funny once they become ubiquitous in your brain. forgot that we didn’t all agree about that.

in fanfiction we must sometimes ask ourselves not if he would do that but under what conditions would he would do that

Kastle Doodles 🥰🥰🥰

(I’ve been in this fandom a total of six days. I medically neeld more content of these two STAT)

saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him

Frank Castle with everyone else 🦁

Frank Castle with Karen Page 🐈

Put him right under her gaze after a slow hug and he's just a shy kitty kat...

Not to be a High School English teacher on main but:

His heart beat faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips’ touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete.

And I think it describes at least one of the reasons that Frank keeps pulling back right where Karen is ready to kiss him. We know that he feels like he’s dangerous to be around and he wants her to be safe and believes that means being not anywhere near him. We know that he feels like he is supposed to be dead, shouldn’t move on from his family’s murder and specifically from still seeing himself as married to his dead wife. But I also think that he’s terrified to kiss Karen because he knows that it will change him if he lets her in.

Right now his grief is effectively a super power: he’s driven, reckless, accepts no rules but those of his own heart/internal compass. No one can stop him because he’s a dead man walking. But if he lets Karen in, lets her breath new life into him, he will be a living breathing man again with something to lose. He is terrified to be human like that again.

(Not that he’s not already being impacted by this: he does care what she thinks, he does experience the panic of impending loss when she’s threatened. But he’s trying, so hard, not to let that transform him.)

As a bonus, we know that Frank and Karen both read that book (every high school student in the United States was assigned it in 11th grade at the time they were teenagers and there is evidence that both of them actually did their English class readings).

So it’s entirely possible that Frank might even make that connection for himself. They could even argue about it (I don’t think Karen would appreciate being compared to Daisy, even if that’s not actually the point Frank was trying to make).

rewatching the punisher and the kastle elevator scene is my pride and prejudice rain confession scene actually

I believe in kastle endgame (or at least leaving things open to that possibility) because for frank, there is no one else. there's only karen.

thinking back to jon saying to deborah: "like what is he doing there? it's like if it's not you, everyone else is gone."

matt has a zillion love interests, and karen is one of them, but they're not going to introduce another love interest for frank. they're just not. so either he dies, or he lives the rest of his life alone, or he and karen get together.
