#muse: matt murdock

[delightindarkness]

“You’re the one running around Hell’s Kitchen dressed like that, but I’m the one hiding something. Sure, Daredevil. Whatever you say.” Jessica rolled her eyes and focused on patching the vigilante up.

"Can we please not have this fight right now?" Matt questioned, his sightless eyes slipping closed as she worked on his abdomen. The laceration wasn't very big, but it was deep, making his head spin every time the needle passed through it to stitch it.

"I wasn't saying you were hiding anything, babe. I was just asking what was wrong. You sounded mad. I just felt like there was something you weren't talking to me about."

❛ i’m trying to fix your hair, so hold still. ❜ (Kyr to Matt)

The lawyer cracked a small smile, even though doing so made his split lip zing with pain. He reflexively leaned his head into the other's tough, relishing the fingers dancing along his scalp. He was unconcerned with the state of his hair of course, but the small action itself was soothing.

Murdock felt his heartbeat--skittish lately, out of rhythm now an again--slow slightly, leaving him in a calmer state, more focused and less agitated. Enough so that he hadn't realized how tense he'd been until he finally let some of that tension go.

"You're welcome to try I suppose. Have to look good for court and all that." he replied, teasing slightly. He did have a court date later that morning but for now he was still trying to recover from last night's brawl. Not entirely sure how either he or Kyr made it home. "But I think they are going to be less concerned about the hair then these bruises on my face." He added with a small sigh, wincing at the swelling he felt on his cheekbone. "Any suggestions how we explain this one away?"

a kiss in the rain to make up like it’s a damn romcom ( BEXLEY and MATT )

Matt couldn't believe how the night was going. It was supposed to be a nice dinner date, but the universe had other plans for the night. He didn't mean to start a fight with her, but his emotions just got the best of him, but that wasn't a good excuse for him to use it was dumb, and he felt terrible for ruining the night. While walking, he felt raindrops hit his head, causing him to sigh. This was just great. He didn't want to deal with the rain. It was so loud in his head that and blocked out the world around him. As the rain started to pick up more, Matt gently took hold of Bexley's forearm and tried to get them under cover, but it wasn't the best he could do for them. He couldn't help moving closer to her, enjoying the warmth of her body, and before he knew it, Matt kissed her lips softly with his hands on the side of her head.

[championsofmyheart]

hello and welcome to soup and radar discuss the similarities between matt daredevil and muse muse and how interesting that is given one is sams mentor and the other is his nemesis. if you reblog this without radars addition ill kill you.

To Me both muse and matt are EXTREMELY white liberal coded

muse reads to me as one of those white liberals who constantly preaches about how inclusive they are and how accepting they are to minorities but then turns around and calls the cops on homeless people and poc. he's very much using his "anti-bigotry" for social capital while actively oppressing the groups he claims to support, and when confronted about it gets extremely defensive about how he's being "attacked" and how minorities should be grateful for his allyship and it can be taken away at any time if they aren't nice and thankful enough for his support.

i think it's clearest in his inhuman exhibit where he poses them doing mundane tasks to show that they are "human too", but he gets the inhuman bodies FOR the exhibit by literally murdering them. his support is entirely artificial and for his own benefit to seem progressive and gain points.

matt's white liberalism is i think most evident in the beginning of the run and he gets a bit better by the end.

here matt talks over sam, telling him to let daredevil (a white man) and matt murdock (a white man) to handle the problem. he talks over him and does not let sam into active work of taking down tenfingers in exactly the same way that white liberals love to ignore the voices and perspectives of the people harmed by the systems they claim to be against and excluding them from discussion and activism. i mean hes literally standing over sam in the panel, towering over him both as his mentor sure but also as a white man prioritizing himself in the discussion of a problem that affects sam, not him.

by the end of sam's arc matt is able to recognize that he does not and will never be able to fully understand sam's perspective, and asking sam to think for himself instead of telling him what to do.

holds them in my hands I Just Think He's Neat. The similarities between matt and muse and how they're two different species within the same genus offers what i think is a very interesting angle to view the sam-matt dynamic through, and a new perspective to sam's thought process when matt was in that hospital bed telling him he's giving up on daredevil.

Daredevil Vol. 5 #14 (2016)

Charles Soule | Ron Garney

[murdockbuckley]

i haven't posted anything but i am so incredibly excited for daredevil born again you don't understand

[formerheroeswhoquittoolate]

deep breath I've got thoughts about the daredevil show because I think they have the opportunity to do the most daredevil thing possible and I really really want them to do it. (edit: this post is about sam chung/blindspot by the way, sorry to anyone who reblogged it thinking it was about like. spiderman or whatever)

the thing about daredevil is that a lot of his really good stories (at least in my opinion) are tragedies. karen page's death. elektra's death. that whole thing where he has a great life being out as matt murdock And daredevil but it's actually shit and the purple children have to put the cat back in the bag. killing a guy and going to jail. becoming a catholic priest who runs a foster home and still never being free from daredevil. basically the entirety of charles soule's daredevil run. "unavoidably bad things happen to matt murdock/daredevil because he is matt murdock And because he is daredevil" is kind of the name of the game.

matt has depression. even when things are going well, there's a weight to daredevil stories. he -- and we -- are all just. waiting. for the other shoe to drop.

look at me. what if there was a young vigilante that daredevil was training. what if he was trying to help the kid become a hero, protect his neighborhood like daredevil protects hell's kitchen. what if matt grows to like the kid, starts looking after him, gets him a job when he gets injured. begins to trust him. the kid becomes a light in the dark story that daredevil always has. irreverent and determined and utterly brilliant.

but we know what's coming.

do you see what I'm saying? can you see the proverbial sword of damocles, hanging over the narrative? the unavoidable catastrophe that is just a few episodes away? the knowledge that we are going to watch this kid lose his eyes, lose his family, and get nothing in return for his intelligence and perseverance and loss.

the tragedy of daredevil is not in plot twists. it's in inevitability. the long fingers of grief, the anticipation of more trials to come. matt is job, ceaselessly tested to see if he is worthy of an imitation of what he once had. he is peter, drawing a sword to protect something he doesn't fully understand, something they will kill him for in the end. daredevil stories do not have happy endings, and the tragedy is contagious.

all this to say: I hope sam chung ends up in daredevil: born again, exactly as he is in soule's original run. I hope we get to see him fly as blindspot, and I hope the inevitable fall is foreshadowed. I hope the first time we see blindspot, he's saving three people. I hope he gets two black eyes in a fight. I hope there are tricks of the light that make his eyes glow blue or appear entirely gone. I hope he borrows matt's iconic glasses and makes a joke about going blind. I hope we are forced to remember his tragedy every time we see him.

put him in the show, cowards

(From Karen to Matt) "I can't imagine my life without you."

"I hear you, believe me I do, but you can't expect me to sit on the sidelines while my city goes to shit," Matt breathed. His eyes, unseeing, were cast down toward where his hand was resting in hers. "I never should have let you know the truth."

[marvelismylove]

You know, I think Claire should have been the romantic interest that Daredevil focused on. They obviously went with Karen, but I find they work better as friends. Elektra is cool but I don't think she's quite right, either.

But I do think Claire could have been. I know it ended being too much for her in the show but I wonder what things would've been like if she'd decided it wasn't.

[thedarkmanor]

“ please just tell me how you feel. ” (Amanda Prentiss from my agentjadelance blog to Matt yes I'm portraying all muses here for safety reasons)

The blind man wasn't the best with his feelings at all it was just hard to open up to people. He learned from a young age to not trust people because the people close to you would hurt you the most. So, when Amanda asks questions about him Matt always gives the same answer no matter even if he is dying no one will know about it. "I'm fine." He turns his head in her direction as he speaks.
