DAREDEVIL | 2.09 — Seven Minutes In Heaven

Woll and Bernthal have more chemistry in a few glances across the room than most Marvel movies do with full love stories and kissing.

The way Frank sighs and immediately leaves when he hears them mention “the blonde” over the radio SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP we are so back

not to be freaked out or anything but i fully know that if and when karen and frank ever do the deed frank would be so gentle with her like ugh can someone ao3 that or do i have to

Oh ok so it turns out ive been borrowing grief from the future ! it turns out ive been preparing to lose the things i love rather than basking in the light of them while they last. Maybe i should nt do that

Still kinda crazy how kastle is this completely unplanned ship that was brought to life by the chemistry of Jon and Deb, and became so popular to where it's now in a love triangle with the comicbook canon ship. That's insane. And how? Before dd:ba, it was **mostly** subtext and tension; loaded looks, heavy silences, things not said and pure unadulterated yearning... And it's crazier when you remember that despite the emotional depth, Karen and Frank actually share a few scenes together compared to the other ships. But with those few scenes, they created a very compelling dynamic and forged a bond so layered and deep, so complex and emotionally intense that you forget they haven't really had much time together. We actually get to see their connection build on raw honesty, recognition, respect, darkness, and their willingness to just sacrifice for each other and it's undeniable. And the show runners saw all that and were smart enough to get with the program and recognize it in canon, endgame or not.

Honestly, major props to Jon and Deborah cos not many actors can do so much with only subtext and so little screen time together. With a few scenes and acting restrictions (they couldn't even kiss, their kiss scene was cut), they delivered on "show, don't tell". That's some A+ talent. They really did that. I'm awed.

mutual pining simply never misses. the yearning. the stupidity. the desperation while also thinking themselves alone with it. the rattling relief at the revelation. the way it works in so many scenarios— friends to lovers? a banger every time. casual hook-ups/friends with benefits while they both want more? show-stopping, spectacular, incredible. enemies who are so deep in denial it just makes them madder at each other? utterly unmatched every single time. slow burn, fast burn, burning while already fucking. mutual pining really just is that girl like truly who does it like her

I want Deborah Ann Woll to body slam me.

Wait, did I say that out loud?

Frank not caring what anyone thinks of him, but as soon as karen page is disappointed in him, he has the saddest puppy dog eyes you’ve ever seen.
