[bellaxgiornata]

Big congrats on 2.5K!!! You deserve all of the success!!!

I don’t remember if I hit send after typing this earlier in the week but I had a difficult question!

What is your favorite episode of Daredevil? Or even a favorite from each season!

Thank you so so much, friend!! ❤ And don't worry, you definitely hit the send button but you really did send me the most difficult question out of all the questions I received, so I was really trying to think before I answered it 😆 Especially because I have been doing a very slow re-watch of Daredevil and it's been about 2 years since I last watched it all the way through, so I don't remember off the top of my head which episodes would be my favorite. Especially because I have favorite scenes that I've watched over and over and they're scattered throughout different episodes. But my answers for what are currently my favorite episodes are below the cut!

Season 1 Episode 10 Nelson V Murdock

Yes, that episode. I both love and hate this episode SO MUCH and that's why I ended up picking it as my favorite from this season. I don't think any other episode of Daredevil actually affects me quite as much as this one always does no matter how many times I've watched it. I love seeing the glimpses into Matt and Foggy’s friendship over the years and seeing how important they've become to each other. And it hurts me so damn much when Foggy finds out the truth about Matt and goes off on him like he does because I can feel both of their pain in this episode. Like Matt suffers a lot of physical pain throughout the whole show (and especially in this episode) and that makes me want to take care of him and help him, but that stray tear when Foggy is going off on him on the couch??? And that broken face and his fidgeting hands when Fog is just done and leaves??? THAT HURTS ME. EVERYTHING FOG SAYS HURTS ME. But so does the pain I feel for Fog for having been lied to for so long. It just makes me want to lock them both in the apartment and force everyone into a group hug with me and not let them leave until somehow they fix everything 😭

Season 2 Episode 4 Penny and Dime

It was hard to pick one episode for this season for many reasons, especially because Episode 5 shows us Matt's two very different relationships (even though Karen isn't quite a relationship). And as a fic writer for him, that plays a big role in how I write him romantically and how I write him handling relationships since I can actually see the few examples we really get of his love life here. And they're vastly different from each other. But ultimately I think getting Frank’s backstory in episode 4, watching Matt come rescue him and then having that very emotional moment in the cemetery where he's telling Matt about his daughter and what he lost is probably my favorite scene out of the whole season. Frank is just so vulnerable and Matt can see the redeeming and human bits of Frank here. Which I think is incredibly important and plays a big role in why Matt wants to take his case to keep him from getting the death penalty. I think it's a big moment between the two and it got me in my feels the other week when I was re-watching it.

Season 3 Episode 13 A New Napkin

There's a lot of great moments in season 3 but I think the final episode is the best. After watching Matt’s struggle through the whole season after the loss of Elektra and his senses, to slowly gaining those senses back, to pushing his friends away to keep them safe, to how he decides he won't let Fisk ruin who he is by killing him after wanting to the entire time... There's a lot of growth in Matt in this episode. He even tries to begin a relationship with his mother despite that whole messy history after finding out the truth about her. And the way he comes back to his friends at the end instead of trying to push them away and pretending he can't be Matt Murdock anymore is such a big moment. It's truly my favorite part of season 3 seeing how everything comes together in the end. And I've been dying to see where things went for everyone after this episode ever since it first aired but we never had the opportunity. So I'm hoping Born Again gives us some of what I was hoping to see since Netflix couldn't continue the show.

Penny for your thoughts?

T2 linagram prisoners let's gooooo @linagram

Akio

Okay, look, I didn't think voting him guilty for the first trial would be so bad until...the second trial happened. I'm sorryyy 😭😭😭 Its not funny anymore, he deserves a break after his injuries and everything.

Oh, but it seems his crime isn't as simple as I thought it was. 👀 Or rather, his dynamic with Arata and his victim. Can't wait to learn more! I really like the idea of Akio being friends with his victim instead of just being jealous of him from afar. Adds flavor, you know? ✨

Aimi

So... What even is going on with her crime? 😭 It seems as though her accomplice killed her classmates, and then she killed him? Her animosity towards Haku is kinda scary honestly, since she's usually so friendly. Its funny to imagine though, because he would not care. I nearly put a heart over "a beast unleashed" because of this, but Aimi hasn't actually done anything aggressive in linagram.

Still can't get over her design and aesthetic. I want her gender so bad. 💖 The popping balloons in her t2 MV were so cool, and it did remind me of Yuno. Can't wait to see her development in t3. 👀

Shun

After what he did to Kei, he's moved from "makes me uneasy" to "actively dislike" in my linagram tier list. Still can't get over the first half of his t2 MV that featured him with so many women. I really thought he had rizz. Turns out it was just an otome game. Its funny to think about that section of the MV being real, but only because they fell in love with an alter of his. His memory problems came from you, so now that you've learned that you're a system, what does this mean for him? 🤣 Guess I'll still headcanon him having DID.

Naomi

Her design is really cute and I do like her conflicted feelings towards her victim because things are rarely so straightforward. 🥲 Her calm demeanor but constant references of inner anger makes me nervous. Adding on to the fact that she's one of the prisoners that would kill again... Ma'am, please go to therapy.

Kei

Kei is that kind of character that you just fall more in love with the more you learn about him. Then again, he hasn't actually revealed a lot about his crime but his backstory instead. His relationship with Eiji will never not be * incoherent sobbing*. I eagerly await more crumbs on Mr and Mrs Sanada as well! 🤲

I didn't think his dynamic with Shun and Eiko could get any worse, but I was wrong. I WAS SO WRONG. Isn't this the man that was supposed to be the most violent prisoner? What happened to him?? Please get him out of there. Somebody save him. #freethesanadas

Eiko

I'll be honest, she's the character that I forget about the most. Which is kind of weird considering she has the most gruesome murder method in undercover, but it might be a metaphor. Her relationship with her mother is interesting, so I'm looking forward to that.

I do love her design though, especially since she looks so much like Iris, hehe. Her style is great, quite alike Yui's.

Asahi

Rin 🤝 Asahi: Getting more sympathetic as milgram continues. They're the true siblings here. 🤣

Asahi is such a menace, but his insults actually work now that he's had enough time to get a read on everybody. Its funny, I'm down for it. His demeanor towards Miki is really cute! At the end of the day, I want them to get better, which is probably impossible given the nature of milgram, but the sentiment is there. They're a little messed up, but they seem like the characters most likely to be able to live a normal, somewhat happy life if they got out of milgram.

Yurika

Still don't know who her victims are, but all will be revealed in due time. Her relationship with her manager is sad but mostly funny. 😂 I'm not sure how to feel about kinning her the most out of all your ocs like the manga hobby, the struggle of being independent hhhhh

Her ability to resort to violence so easily is kind of interesting now that I think about it, considering one of her themes in struggling with independence. You wouldn't expect her to be the violent type after reading most of what we know about her, but it works somehow.

Riku

His t1 designnn 💖💖💖 Eh, I'm not sure if I like his half and half hairstyle for t2. But the part about the white reminding him of his friend was 👌👌 I can't remember what made him choose those colours, but what if...subconsciously, he chose it because it reminded him of his friend? Just kidding! ...Unless? 👀

His complicated relationship with his friend reminds me of Kalim and Jamil in a way, haha. Have I said this before? I wonder if Riku liked his friend at some point, or at least appreciated something about him. His friend didn't seem to have been a good place either. They both should have gone to therapy together smh. 😔

Reina

Its not really that my eyes have been opened, just that she dropped the serial killer act and now I like her a lot more for it. She's also the only prisoner who's bothering to figure out what's going on milgram, so slay queen. I also love her haircut!! I had a similar one earlier this year, and I got a number of compliments so... :D We twinned.

Ahaha, so her victim is her brother... I figured, but I thought her friends were the ones mainly responsible for the murder. Was it more of an accident? Did something go out of hand? Or is Reina just blaming herself because what else can she do? 🥲

Eiji

Yeah, I understand that he is the more unforgiving guard and he did give the t1 prisoners horrible punishments, but he doesn't deserve this 😭😭😭 Why must things keep happening to him? What is wrong with him and his brother? /pos

Also, I'm still curious about his past. 👀 Kei has been dropping a lot of crumbs, but I still need Eiji to fill in the gaps, haha. What do you mean 10yo Eiji had to protect Kei? Wasn't Kei described to be violent in t1? The sanada parents toooo #freethesanadas

Miki

Her relationship with Asahi is so 💖💖 But other than that, I don't have much to say because she's a pretty cut and dry character. Not that there's anything wrong with that! There's just not a lot of mystery surrounding her anymore compared to her coworkers.

I'm also not sure about her savior complex anymore. 🤔 It doesn't appear that much, and her aggressiveness towards some of the prisoners shows that she's either angrier than she lets on or is a bit of a hypocrite imo. I dunno, let's see what she does for t3! :D

Hiyuu

He's only been here for like, 1 and a half vds but I love him already. Being more of a morally grey guard will do it for me. He's just an eepy lil boi. Can't wait to see what he'll do in t3! But his hinted punishment methods are uh 😰 His mask is really scary too.

Nattis dear sweet Nattis 😭

The world collapsed - now Björn opens up: "Had a blackout"

Nathalie Björn lost her stepfather after his heart stopped. Now she opens up about the day that changed everything. - I had a blackout, you don't think it's true, she says to the Football Channel.   

What was supposed to be a completely normal school day ended in something completely different. The Swedish national team midfielder received a call that her stepfather, Johan, who lived with a congenital heart defect, had suffered a cardiac arrest.

It came as a shock even though the family knew it could happen. During his more than 30 years, Johan had been forced to take a lot of medication and every year there were routine check-ups and several operations - something that was possible because heart and lung research progressed. Since Björn was two years old, Johan was part of her life.

When she had to get to soccer practice, he was the one who drove her, and he played an important role in her life.  

- He cheered for AIK, so when I signed for them he was really proud. 

But in 2014, the heart couldn't take it anymore.   

- It was really hard. My mother called me and I heard immediately that something was wrong. My father had to come and pick me up, after that I had a blackout, you don't believe it's true and you think this isn't happening to me, she says and continues:

- We knew he wouldn't live as long as others, but we had no idea that he would be taken from us so early.   

How did you handle the situation? - In some way it has made me, my mother and my sister even closer because we have been through it together, and then of course I want to protect my sister from all the evil in the world. And mom is the strongest person I know, I don't want anything to happen to her ever again. You try to think that you can handle everything.   

Every year, just under 2,000 children are born with heart defects in Sweden, which means that an average of five children with heart defects are born in Sweden every day. And today, roughly 35,000 children and young people live with a heart diagnosis in Sweden and roughly 50,000 adults, according to the Heart and Lung Foundation.   

After his experience, Björn became involved in the issue and contributed to research. Nowadays, the defender is an ambassador for the Heart and Lung Foundation.   

- I thought for a long time about how I could help. I have always donated money and at the funeral people were asked to make a gift to contribute to research. So it's always been in the back of my mind that I want to do something. I want people to get general awareness, to learn how serious it is and how many people are affected. Everyone can really do something, whether it's a penny or a like on Instagram.   

Through his ambassadorship, Björn has made contact with Bellis.   

- I'm not going to tell her whole story. She is 10 years old, and has a congenital heart defect. And she plays soccer, it's awesome. She is able to live with it and it is hugely cool that you can live a normal life even if you have a congenital heart defect because research has come so far.   

How does it feel for you to concretely see that you have helped a person? - It's great fun and cool that you can be a role model in football, or talk about something that has happened to you yourself and strengthen it. And that they don't just say that research is progressing, but that it actually does. And I think the Heart and Lung Foundation has made a lot of progress that not many people know about.   

Is part of the ambassadorship in honor of your stepfather? - Yes, but it absolutely is. I feel that I am doing something good from our experience, and show that you can talk about it. Then maybe I don't want to talk about it all the time or go deeper into detail, but you are still strong enough to share part of your story. You want to share, but not with everything, there are things you want for yourself. Everyone has lost someone in one way or another and everyone has their story. I think it's important that you don't feel like you're alone in this.

aurie, aurie~ i just saw the bingo you did with lina AND I RAN ALL THE WAY HERE. (also i love the title! 'penny for your thoughts'... it makes me think of 'madol/thaumark for your thoughts'? teehee)

and thus, i come here humbly to ask: can i have rayyan, elliot, noah (yes, i just had to) and a fourth oc of your choice for the bingo? i'm excited to see which oc's of yours you will send my way! your oc's are all blorbos to me let me have these precious cuties /lh

- bree <3 (@silvoila, i noticed how you always tagged me in case i accidentally missed our interactions >< hehe, thanks for doing that, aurie~ but now, you don't have to anymore because i got you! >:D)

Bree really went: ─=≡Σ((( つ•̀ω•́)つ Ehehe, I can always count on you to have my back! I didn't mind tagging you since I got to see your cute Riddle pfp though. (⁀ᗢ⁀) But anyway, I assign Aurora, Xenon, Emile, and a 4th oc of your choice for the bingo!

Rayyan Nadeem

He looks really cool! Brown and purple go surprisingly well on a character design.

I really don't have much to say about him though. When you see an emotionless character, you expect them to have some kind of sad backstory as to why they started repressing their emotions, but from what I've read from Rayyan's profile so far, he seems to have lived a decent life and is just naturally 'emotionless'.

(His friendship with Slyvan is really cute though! I think they compliment each other well.)

Elliot

He looks so cool! There are plenty of black haired and red eyed characters out there to make them look 'evil' or 'scary', but Elliot's ears and tail give him a cuter vibe than his design counterparts that I really like!

I already got a taste of his backstory, but I'm still curious! How does he feel about being a servant to the Shroud family? Does he feel trapped like Jamil, or is he resigned to his fate already? What about his parents and guardians?

His talent is manipulation, eh? Elliot 🤝 Hayden 🤝 Emile /j

Noah Caspian

Ajsuunfusbis Him and his grey streaks of hair. So cute. I bet he has the cutest pouting face too! Also, maybe its just the picrew, but he looks like he has such chubby cheeks and I- 💓

I'm just joking about the 'everyone but me is wrong about them <3' of course, but Noah has the kind of personality that I'm pretty sure I have a good grasp of, making him the first oc of someone else that I'm confidant enough to write about. 💀

He seems tough according to his profile, but his weakness to other people crying and the way he is so flustered around Zoya makes it hard for me to actually take him seriously. 💀💀💀 He's just too cute in his own tsundere way. I love him so much, Bree.

Damien Draconia

I'm gonna be honest. *Inhales* Maybe its just the picrews, but Damien's hairstyle doesn't look good to me. 😭 I think it would be better if he let his hair down.

Asdisnidnsincis He seems very cute in personality though! Like the kind of leader figure that's soft but not a total pushover. I would love to read some interactions of him with Leona, Kalim, and all the other dorm leaders just to see what their dynamic would be like. The thought of it certainly intrigues me.

Ohhhhhh his specialty though! 👀 The idea of him having a dangerous power that he doesn't actually want and is constantly keeping it in check so that he doesn't hurt anyone is so 👌👌👌. (Also, he and Emile are very different in that regard. No I will not elaborate.) He's a good person that risks being corrupted because of something he was born with. Or maybe he's trying to do good because of his specialty? Hnggg the angst potential!
