MR. MURDOCK AND HIS HANDS ON HIPS

[strangermurdock]

I’m sat. disney+ is scared and telling me to leave because it doesn’t come out until march but I am simply too sat.

[stars-captain]

Promo for Wesker? I love horror, science, my wife, and video games in general. I'd love to meet some new mutuals!

if you are insane enough about a character you can also imagine them in other media you like

There's a fanart in Matt's tag that includes Tai making a borderline aheago face so I'm gonna do a quick meta so I can push it through (please don't ask any more about this).

You ever see old dub material and like, it looks like this? This is from a book I own-

Like, where did this come from? And the dub of Ep. 1, when he first meets the Digimon- "no autographs please". Where did it come from? I really honestly don't understand.

Now, it's not as bad as, like, the Davis/Daisuke situation (where I had to go full Kingdom Hearts and refer to them as different people). It kind of works because it can be used as a cover. Matt doesn't want to deal with Feelings when there's a brother to protect and two worlds to save. But his Feelings tend to boil over at the slightest provocation.

Yet the dub kind of...ignores this. For the "cool kid" persona which ??? Maybe they were trying to make him more like Gary Oak from Pokemon (y'know- the ten year old with a car/cheerleaders). But by the end, it's clear that doesn't work. The Crest of Friendship kind of seals the deal as to who Matt really is.

I feel like this weirdness/02 playing up the "pretty boy" angle led to the likes of The Lost Temple of Ishida, which by itself contributed to years of mischaracterization. If you know about Goth TK and the Tokomon who lived in Tai's hair or whatever (who wasn't TK's partner, I think)- those broke containment from there. It was a HUGE fansite. It even fooled me.

Fortunately, you don't see too much OOC "cool guy" Matt today, unless it specifically refers to 02/tri. I feel like better access to the subs and the Lost Temple becoming inactive (along with the "squee kawaii" fangirl mindset falling out of fashion) made it easier to analyze Matt as he really is. Unfortunately, he seems less popular than back in the day. Which sucks. I want to ramble about him more.

👀 + 💌 for whichever s/i and f/o you'd like!! :3

tysm~! 

💌: How would your dynamic be portrayed? What might people focus on most? Any misconceptions? 

Matt and Lily’s dynamic would be more portrayed focusing on the contrast between Lily’s shyness and Matt’s eccentric personality, I think? 

And a big misconception would be that Matt loves himself more than he loves Lily, which! Not true at all! They’re healthy!

👀: How does your ship with your f/o influence both of your characterisations and the world? Would there be any interesting metas written about your dynamic? 

If I understood the question correctly (sorry!! english is not my first language ^^;) I think Matt brings out the more cheerful and outgoing side of Lily whereas Lily brings out Matt’s humbleness and loving side.

thinking about how one of the last conversations we had with our grandma before she passed was her vehemently telling us she is "NOT our grandma" and claiming she doesn't fucking know us because we don't use our birth name/are trans . then like a week before she died she called us crying and asking us why we didnt call more

do you ever think that matt has dreams about dying.

like— he doesn't sleep well, never has, and he hates those minutes where you're torn between wake and sleep because his ears don't stop ringing, but eventually he drifts off and it's fine. after mike saved him, he almost never dreams at all, or he never remembers it once he wakes up. he thinks he's too exhausted. (mike half-jokes that maybe it's some sort of trauma response. neither of them laugh.)

sleeping alone gets harder and harder but mike refuses to make a place for him at base, saying he needs to keep matt safe, that he needs him to stay in vancouver, ignoring the fact that matt doesn't feel safe in vancouver now, not since before mustardseed. he tries not to sleep when it's dark out, instead spending his nights camped out in the bushes outside mdawg and edman's house. it's a waste of time, really, but it's better than waking up in a cold sweat, almost tasting blood in his mouth and reliving a death that never happened.

after mustardseed, matt can't stop dreaming. more often than not, he wakes up in the dead of night with tears in his eyes and a bolt of terror still twisting violently in his chest. he calls mike, sometimes. (he feels guilty, because he knows that now he's bothering edgar too.) he tells mike in one of their middle-of-the-night phone calls that he can't stop remembering the accident. the screech of tires and metal-on-metal and so many sirens, flashes of red-and-blue light through closed eyes, pain so all-encompassing that he felt more hurt than human.

he tells mike that, sometimes, he's not sure if all of this was even worth it. (he doesn't point out that the all of this is mike's fault. that, if he fought so hard to save matt then, why it doesn't make any sense that dooming him to the fringes is actually a good option now.) mike's whispered apology streams from the line and matt pretends not to hear edgar's half-asleep questions of who mike was talking to while he checks his pulse. mike doesn't—can't—talk long anymore, and after clipped goodbyes, matt is left standing in the kitchen, alone, alive, knowing what it feels like to be dead.

MATT POSTING!!!!! MYRICLE HUZZAH;! HOORAY!!!

MYRICLE MAYHEM WEEK WITH BONUS SECOND WEEK OCCURRING AS WE SPEAK!!!!!

[firedragon1321]

Saw this screenshot and remembered that Matt peer pressured Izzy to ditch fucking Piximon to go hunting for crests and found it in a hole.

The motive was pure Matt (a little self-discovery), but I love how he sometimes does Tai-patterned stuff For the Funni. And he hasn't grown out of it, as he spent half of Kizuna pursuing a government agent.
