5, 11, 14

5. favorite form of potato?

I answered this already, but quick answer is waffle fries

11. anything from your childhood you’ve held on to?

A pink teddy bear I got from my parents when I got my appendix taken out

14. do you think you’re dehydrated?

Probably at least a bit, but I have had water recently.

[acebokutowl]

Now it's your turn to answer the ask meme thingy! For fandom Haikyuu. For a ship, AkiAngel. I know nothing beyond what I've gathered from your blog about either of these so I'm interested to see what you say

Thank you for asking~!

Oh man Haikyuu's going to be so hard, I have so many ships there....

So, for Haikyuu:

Favorite character: Tsukishima Kei

Least Favorite character: I don't think there is anyone I dislike actually... In terms of just being indifferent, I guess I'd have to choose one of the other teams' coaches?

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Tsukishima/Kuroo/Akaashi/Bokuto (that's me cheating, because I love them in any possible configuration, so if I wanted to list them in pairs... there wouldn't be any slots left), Oikawa/Iwaizumi, Hanamaki/Matsukawa, Tsukishima/Yamaguchi, Kageyama/Hinata (also special shoutout to Ukai/Takeda)

Character I find most attractive: I don't really find them attractive...

Character I would marry: Bokuto

Character I would be best friends with: I just spent five minutes thinking about it and I just don't know ;;;

a random thought: I can't believe Kurotsukki is turning into a rarepair, I'll never get over it

An unpopular opinion: I really like Shiratorizawa. Is it unpopular?

My Canon OTP: Tanaka/Shimizu

My Non-canon OTP: Gotta be Kurotsukki (although lately I'm in Bokuto/Tsukishima hell)

Most Badass Character: Ushiwaka

Most Epic Villain: Does Oikawa count? Because he's pretty epic

Pairing I am not a fan of: romantic Kuroo/Kenma, I just see them as best friends

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I'm a little salty that there's so little Tsukishima post timeskip, does it count as screwing up?

Favourite Friendship: oh man... all of them tbh, but if I had to choose... Tsukishima and Yamaguchi, they really bring out the best in each other and support each other the best they can.

Character I most identify with: I would say... Tsukishima for the emotional turmoil part, but mostly Ukai (the younger one ^^") - I'm at this point in my life, when I mostly identify with tired, grumpy teacher figures...

Character I wish I could be: Hinata, for his persistence in chasing his dreams

and now for AkiAngel:

When I started shipping them: As soon as I saw them in manga so... around July last year?

My thoughts: They are just the perfect combination - two hurting, scarred characters, star-crossed lovers that could never be together, and can't even touch... But also sticking to the canon, despite their own preconceptions of each other, and hating each other at the beginning, they learn to lean on each other and become this unexpected support system for one another. Like, Aki is ready to lose a couple of months of his lifetime just to save Angel, and later tries to save him, and Angel in turn looks out for Aki to lessen his burden just little and support him, no matter the decision Aki makes.

What makes me happy about them: That they found this weird friendship and don't have to pretend in front of each other.

What makes me sad about them: That they could never reach a happy ending, it wasn't possible.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: When it gets too fluffy - I don't believe these two have it in themselves to do fluffy fluff.

Things I look for in fanfic: ANGST, unless it's a complete AU, then I can accept a happy ending, and a moderate amount of their brand of fluff

My wishlist: Hmmm ... I think that thanks to how popular they are, especially now, after the release of an anime, I'm pretty well-fed.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: No one, since they can't have a happy ending, even with each other. (Damn, that sounds harsh ^^")

My happily ever after for them: Living together in a qpr in a house near a beach (for Angel), far away from Makima and snow (for Aki's sake), healing their wounded souls at their own pace.

IDK how recent it is anymore but I'm still not unpacked from moving so I'm gonna go with that one!

I feel like I always remember my disturbing dreams more than the good ones. There is one especially good one but it is a Secret.

The Places We Have Come To Fear The Most

The Places We Have Come To Fear The Most https://archiveofourown.org/works/50677816 by alohdark He ignored it. Whatever this ‘it’ was that was between them. Or not between them. He just went with the flow of his daily life until Frank Castle would show up on his rooftop, or alley way, or fire escape. And then daily life would take a back burner for a few days while Frank Castle consumed everything he was before disappearing just as suddenly as he’d arrive. And Matt just ignored it.

“Denial and Truths”

“Denial and Truths” https://archiveofourown.org/works/39506673 Writer @alohdark​ Artist KotaRiverRoad Tags: Gen, M/M, Fratt Words: 2187 Summary: Guilt and fear twisted in Matt's gut and he tried to pull himself away from Frank, pull himself away from his words. "I'm not a murderer." Picture Description: [Matt lying unconscious on a gurney inside Frank's hideout. Frank is leaning over him, one hand touching his cheek.]

Extract:

"Shh.." The low voice matched the rough fingertips as they stilled him. "I'm not done patching you up." 

Part of Matt tried to raise an alarm. Something about that voice was supposed to set off warning bells, but the drugs in his system were dulling the instinct and allowing the deep seated comfort the voice brought to flood him instead.

Matt relaxed back into the gurney and allowed himself to drift back to sleep as the fingers slowly resumed patching him up.

Made for the @frattweek​ bang 2022! ------------------------

I love the Daredevil #4 (2019) and this is inspired by it! Go read it now! The Zdarsky run is great!

[frattweek]

Behold...

The FrattWeek Mini Bang gave us fic + art collaborations, including TWO podfics!

There's fluff yet there's angst, there's action and there's introspection, there's smut as well as PG13... Comics or TV, AU or canon-compliant - you've got it all, for all your tastes! Sexy times? Road trips? Mermaids? Hanahaki? Kink? Sick fic? Good dogs? Trans characters? Friendship is the real superpower? Vampires? Feels? Construction worker!Frank? All of that, and more!

Here is the main tag on this Tumblr blog: #frattweekbang and here is the AO3 collection ! Works are tagged as needed on Tumblr and AO3.

Bangin’ banner by @xycuro-illuminati !

Share and reblog!

Especially since Tumblr may not like all the non-Tumblr, AO3 links... counting on you ;-)

Stomach Aches (AO3) by @kal-thas and @saturntellsme Summary: Another cough wracked his chest, something soft and bloody settling on his tongue. Floral mixed with iron and spit hit his nose, pain wracked his system again. Stomach twisting into knots. Matt/Frank hanahaki au

Rainy Moods (AO3) by @hardwiredweird and @unwanted-animal Summary: During a stormy night in, Matt and Frank find themselves unable to keep their hands to themselves.

Your Six (AO3) by @andaniellight and @b-421 Summary: Frank had never been inside his apartment, but never kicked Matt out of his safehouses when he followed him back like a curious puppy, never trailing him like a mark. Nipping at his heels, maybe, but flirting was safer than most of their other interactions. He fucking missed the guy. Not because he'd broken the no-kill promise - Frank never made that promise but he missed having a friend that supported his 'night habits' without offering a lecture. Frank understood all the parts of Daredevil that he couldn't explain to anyone else - all the parts nobody else would care about.

The Good kind of Pain (AO3) by @anna-hawk and @nkeiiin + podfic by @confusedandhopeful Summary: Matt and Frank return to Matt’s apartment after a long night on a mission. Frank was shot in the stomach, but since he’s been wearing a body armor, it’s only a large, albeit painful, bruise. After Matt checks him for deeper damage and comes up with nothing, some banter ensues that leads to Matt pressing into Frank’s bruised stomach. The noise Frank makes is not only from pain. When Frank retaliates, Matt realizes that he enjoys receiving the pain as much as giving it, and so does Frank.

Something old and something new (AO3) by @neko-kohaku and @nkeiiin Summary: Frank and Matt are having a moment™ while waiting for Karen and her date to join them for an after-work dinner

Ethically Sourced (AO3) by @wellofhavoc, @unwanted-animal Summary: When Daredevil goes missing, it's up to Frank Castle to find him. However, he's not the same man he once was. He has a hunger that he refuses to sate.

Hills and Pines (AO3) by @jxthics, iithril, and @andaniellight Summary: Frank is grumpy, but the bad kind of grumpy. Matt decides to do something, and helped by Foggy and Karen, prepares a roadtrip.

Sensory Soup (AO3) by @tofuthebold and @alohdark Summary: Scent could be a dangerous concoction. A sickening miasma or some sort of wonder that tugged at an empty stomach.

Awful Ideas (and their benefits) (AO3) by @kal-thas and @ieatcomicbooks Summary: Matt knows he was being an ass the whole night leading up to this. He knew that the lingering touches stayed maybe a second too long to be just friendly, that he was closer than usual. t4t fratt fic

Tensile Strength (AO3) by @plumedpenn, @wellofhavoc, and @tofuthebold (post) Summary: David recruits Frank to deal with a bomb threat, so Frank recruits Matt to track down the culprit. How it turns into a fake date with Red, he’ll never understand, but if Red’s not gonna behave himself, then neither will he. (And so what if he’s got that ass backwards?)

Double Life (AO3) by @unstable-river and @b-421 Summary: When he took the job on the police force, he was chasing a lead and the pansy-ass cop training was a walk in the park after his stint in the Marines.

A Study of the North American House Hippo (AO3) by @eobardthawneallen and meowvelous Summary: Matt’s not happy when Frank corners him into dog-sitting, but the dog - a pitbull named Sasha - takes a liking to him. With her around, Matt is surprised to find that the nightmares from his past are easier to live with. And later, spending time with her has the bonus of getting to know Frank better too. While both Sasha and Frank are nothing Matt never imagined for himself, they might end up helping him realize exactly what he does need. Featuring: Matt’s various found families, Jessica Jones actually smiling for once, a barely-keeping-it-together Matt, and a surprisingly stable Frank.

deep thoughts about soup (AO3) by @unstable-river and @alistrawrites Summary: "You're the worst drama queen I've ever met," Frank says, showing no sympathy whatsoever and Matt rolls over and groans into his pillow. (Matt has a cold. Frank takes care of him anyway.)

Frank Castle Defense Squad (AO3) by @wellofhavoc and @art-and-jazz (post here) + podfic by @confusedandhopeful Summary: Frank is found out and tracked down by police to Matt Murdock's doorstep, but Matt be damned if he's going with them. And he just might be if help doesn't arrive from the strangest places.

Like Clockwork (AO3) by @rrr-nightingale and iithril Summary: Every day, at the same time, Frank sees the same stranger walking by the construction site he's working at. Every day, at the same time, Matt feels the gaze of a stranger on him as he walks by a construction site. It could have stayed like this, but sometimes paths are meant to cross.

like a pitbull in a basement (AO3) by @hardwiredweird and @ieatcomicbooks Summary: After a fight that runs out of control, Frank and Matt work shit out. Sort of.

Diving for Pearls (AO3) by @plumedpenn and @tooattached2fictionalcharacters Summary: After everything that’s happened, Frank finds himself ready to pick up his guitar again. Matt thinks that’s great and all, but he’s more interested in just picking up Frank.

You'll Never Sink When You Are With Me (AO3) by @stripedscribe and @barionyx Summary: Time passed, weeks, months, and what Ock had said weighed heavily on Matt. That there could be someone out there who could grant them what they so wanted, their happiness, their forever. “We’ll see you-” Matt couldn’t say soon, they didn’t know how long it would take, how long before they would have to accept they weren’t coming home. “We’ll see you again.” The danger was in the unknown. In the areas they lived, the areas they visited most often, they knew what to avoid, which creatures, which plants, what part of the environment was most likely to hurt. But here, further than he’d ever been, everything was strange, everything was new.

Muscle Memory (AO3) by @flamebird-j and @roipecheur Summary: A typical run-in with a warehouse full of arms dealers takes a turn when Daredevil shows up to rain on Frank's parade, gets himself shot, and then uses the last of his strength to save Frank's life in a way Frank never would have expected. Four days later, Matt wakes up in the hospital with a stomach wound he doesn't remember getting a whole night missing from his head.

Denial and Truths (AO3) by @alohdark and @unstable-river Summary: Guilt and fear twisted in Matt’s gut and he tried to pull himself away from Frank, pull himself away from his words. “I’m not a murderer.”

[themculibrary]

Are there any fics of Matt without his powers? Like he’s just a regular guy? Preferably this would be Matt and Foggy centric, platonic or pairing is fine with me.

_______

I’ll Be Home for Christmas (ao3) - forthegreatergood matt/foggy G, 25k

Summary: Franklin “Foggy” Nelson is a slick New York City attorney whose parents may literally die of heartbreak if he doesn’t make it to their new home in some sleepy village in North Country for Christmas.

Matt's a small-town lawyer with a prickly exterior and a heart waiting to be melted, if only Foggy can figure out a way to keep his foot out of his mouth for five seconds.

Unfortunately, Foggy's job tends to follow him around like a lost puppy, and Matt has his reasons for not trusting the holidays.

Me and You (At Best, At Best) (ao3) - ShowMeAHero matt/foggy T, 4k

Summary: The first time Matt walked into Bulletin Coffee, he had every intention of just getting his coffee and getting out of there. Looks like his life's got other plans.

Mile High Flights of Fancy (ao3) - alohdark frank/matt N/R, 1k

Summary: Frank was a pilot in the service but has been forced to become a pilot for a company that provides aerial tours of NYC. The only good thing about his job was being able to fly again. That is, until a man named Matthew Murdock shows up for a tour.

we made a garden of the love we found (ao3) - laudna matt/foggy T, 4k

Summary: He had just settled in on the stool, calculus book open on the counter, resting unceremoniously on top of a mess of scratch paper and old receipts, when the door slammed open, bell above the door jingling violently with the force. Peter looked up with a start. Peter took in the man as he stormed up to the counter, eyebrows furrowed and mouth twisted in an irritated scowl.

He strode up to the counter and slapped a fifty dollar note right on top of Peter’s textbook.

“How do I passive-aggressively say ‘fuck you’ in flowers?”

Who the hell is Frank? (ao3) - Alonelily frank/matt N/R, 1k

Summary: Matt sits up on the bed (the way people sit up when they’ve been caught making out with someone but are trying to make it seem like everything’s normal and they didn’t actually have someone else’s tongue down their throat two literal seconds ago) and says: “Oh, this is my roommate Foggy”, while gesturing at Foggy, and then “Foggy, this is my husband, Frank”. “Hi,” says Frank. “What,” says Foggy.

----------

Foggy has known Matt for a while now, which just makes it all the more confusing to find out that Matt is freaking married.

I was tagged by @alohdark to do a Get To Know You meme. I think that actually might be the first time I’m doing anything like this so.. here it goes.

Currently reading: catching up on a lot of comics, mangas and a couple of web toons. Basically, because of work I stay as far away from regular novels as possible..

Last song: since I went to a Night Vale live show a couple days back, I’ve been listening to their weather songs mostly

Last series: The Magnus Archives, Night Vale and What We Do In the Shadows (all three have such a strong grip on my heart and soul….)

Last movie: I actually don’t remember … which is a little shocking.. could it be some sort of horror? Oh! I think the last movie I saw was Nope at theatre! Loved it

Currently working on: preparing for classes and a couple of articles… plus my thesis ;;;;
