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.
gosh, this actually took me more than an hour to do. anyway, tumblr saw this first!!
i also know that there are no scenes from ddba...and that's cause i can't find any scenepacks π so i opted for the last scene of them in the punisher s2.
totally will redo once i find a ddba scenepack (recommend me some accounts that do have them!!)
+ i got the inspiration of doing this from @oneilsxcc on instagram!!
shout out to Frank Castle's tits. that's all.
Kastle have a CRAZY amount of non explicit love confessions. They're so embarrassingly incapable of hiding it. Incapable of being normal about each other ever.
It is genuinely embarrassing that they cannot contain themselves, at all. Like, absolutely zero control of removing the love from their faces. Mortifying behavior lolol
Jesus Christ! You believe me now? I believe you. I believe you.
DAREDEVIL β 2.10 "The Man in the Box"
I'll be damned if this rewatch hasn't made me into a Matt/Elektra shipper
And just to be clear: this is a rewatch, so I know she's going to be revived.
Bonus points to Kastle bits:
So I wrote fanfiction for the first time in almost two years (not traught sorry guys π₯²) but Iβve been obsessed with the Kastle ship for years and after seeing Frank and Karen back on my screen the obsession is full force. So please check out my first ever Kastle fic!

It says a lotβa lot, a lotβthat Karen and Frank didnβt get closer than a couple feet from each other this whole episode. The chemistry is too strong and wouldβve blown up the βtriangleβ once and for all, letβs be honest here.
