Frank Castle Relationship Alphabet

A- Activity (What is their favorite activity to do with you.)

Not Requested Yet

B- Beginnings (How do they act in the beginning of a relationship)

He’s a pretty cool guy. He’s super chill at the beginning of a relationship especially because most of the time he stumbles his way into relationships. Any relationship he get’s into always starts very casually. Maybe he needs your help with something or maybe you two keep bumping into each other and having short conversations. Regardless you start off as his friend and gradually progress to something more. Or maybe you really start as a one night fling that turns into something more.

His number one goal at the start of any relationship is to get to know the person he is with. He is always taking in information. Even small tidbits of information that seem insignificant he stores it away to better shape his opinion and his overall picture of you. He doesn’t shy away from conversations other people would be scared to bring up at the beginning. His philosophy is learning the hard stuff early is the best. It’s waste of time if people skip around the hard questions only to eventually realize they don’t want to be together because of the answers to the hard questions. He’ll talk about politics, sexuality, bad history, past or present addictions. It doesn’t really matter to him. He just wants to know. And he’ll be pretty upfront about his own history besides keeping some of his more “violent” actions hidden. At least for a little while. So you can’t be afraid to confront difficult aspects of your personality or history. Otherwise you and Frank will not work out.

C- Communication (Are they good communicators? How do they normally talk about their problems or solve issues)

Is he a good communicator? You could say that. He’s extremely upfront about his opinions so if he thinks something is stupid he’s going to say it. However this really only applies to things that have nothing to do with emotions. If something is bothering him about your relationship he probably isn’t going to say anything and because he doesn’t know how to express his emotions into actual words. He knows he’s irritated, but he doesn’t know how to verbally tell you what is irritating him. He’s not good at expressing his emotions unless that emotion is anger.

And if you try to confront him he gets very defensive and his first reaction is to be guarded and deny anything that you’re saying. He doesn’t like feeling that he’s insufficient. He can actually get very angry any time you repeatedly push him to talk about what is bothering him. You’ll have to let him cool down for a day and try again next time. Eventually if you’re persistent but not overly pushy, you can get him to sit down and work through what’s bothering him.

Number one way to quickly get him to talk about things is to mention that his silence is bothering you. He hates feeling like he’s hurting you in any way. This method is slightly manipulative so you definitely cannot do it a lot, but in extreme cases where something is really bothering him to a point where it’s a danger to himself it is necessary.

D- Drunk (What are they like when they’re drunk)

Frank is no stranger to drinking a lot and his tolerance level is very high. He doesn’t normally go for the harder drinks like vodka and rum, but he can absolutely drain a beer, or two, or three. When he starts getting drunk he just starts talking really slow, which isn’t a huge difference from how he normally talks. That’s why it can be really difficult to tell if he’s getting drunk in the first place. He’s surprisingly not the type of person to get aggressive when he get’s drunk. he’s aggressive enough on a day to day basis. Lots of alcohol just makes him slow and sleepy. He will never let himself get drunk in public, but if he decides to really get going at home it’s entertaining to say the least. He goes through long periods of silence and suddenly he’s going on a really slow low energy rant about something that might have happened to him five days ago that’s still on his mind. And when he starts in on something you might as well just nod and go along with it, because he’s not going to stop until he thinks you agree with him.

Another thing he does when he’s drunk is keep you very very close to him. And it’s definitely not something on purpose. He’ll be continually talking to you while keeping an arm cinched tightly around your waist while the two of you sit on thr couch. He needs to do something that requires two arms? Well that sucks because one of his arms is currently occupied and the other is holding a beer so I guess he’s just not gonna do that. It’s just not possible to extract the arm that is currently curled around you. It is stuck. Also another drunk Frank will do is fall asleep wherever he is currently sitting. At this point you just need to be prepared to spend the night on the couch with him still holding on to you or you’ll have to fight him off after he falls asleep.

E- Emergency (How are they in emergency situations? You get hurt, they get hurt, someone is dying etc..)

F- Free Spot (I’ll give you any headcanon I come up with)

Not Requested Yet

G- Gifts (What kind of gifts do they give? What kind of gifts do they get?)

Frank is actually trash at giving and getting gifts. He has such a hard time figuring something out because he wants the gift to be sincere but he can’t come up with any good ideas. And he’s not very creative so he keeps getting stuck on the normal gifts like jewelry or giftcards. So if you really like jewelry and giftwards you’re set but otherwise you might have to give him a very explicit list of stuff that you would be interested in. If Frank tries to get you a piece of clothing as a gift it will always be one size too big because in his words “I didn’t know you’re size and I didn’t want you to feel bad if it was too small.” Which is really sweet, but right now you have an entire section of your closet dedicated to items of clothing that you can’t properly wear because it’s too big. He’s much better at showing his appreciation through actions. Like his favorite “gift” to give is cleaning the entire house or fixing something that’s been sitting around broken for a while. Or maybe just taking you out for a date that you can both enjoy.

He’s also not a graceful gift receiver. Frank Castle does not blush very often but when he receives a very heartfelt gift his face get’s just a little bit redder. He’s not an easy person to shop for because he tends to live very minimally, but that makes the gifts that you do get him all the better. He likes the classic clothes gifts especially when you notice that he’s running low on nice shirts of clean decent pairs of jeans. And it’s really easy to get his size right because it’s on all his clothes and men’s clothes tend to be pretty consistent. The only “expensive” gift that he likes to receive are watches and he really only wants those like once every five years. He doesn’t need a new watch clogging up his closet.

But the best kind of gift that Frank could ever receive is a gift from a little kid. Oh my gosh he loves getting really horrible drawings from kids. It just means so much to him. And he knows that they’re pretty useless, but pieces of paper with little scribbles of color all over them tend to stick around in his car and apartment. It’s just another reminder that he’s not the horrible monster that a lot of adults see him as.

H- Hugs (How do they show affection/cuddle)

It really depends on the situation and how he is feeling/where he is in his life. If he’s in a high intensity situation where he’s in danger or you are in danger, he does not show affection. He’s not going to kiss you goodbye or hold your hand to comfort you. He’s going to get the job done and get you and him into a safe situation as quickly as possible. He can be a very tough love kind of guy if something really dangerous is happening.

However it can be completely different situation if he’s in a stable situation with you. He is definitely not over the top especially not out in public, so let’s start with how he acts in public!

In public he’ll keep an arm around your waist or shoulder while you walk or sitting next to each other. It’s a very casual thing. He’s not trying to prove anything or show you off in any way. He just likes to have you close and feeling like he’s protecting you even in a small way. He’s probably not going to reach for your hand to hold it, but if you grab his hand first he will absolutely not tell you no. If he’s feeling especially affectionate he’ll press soft kisses to the crown or your head or your forehead, making sure that you know he loves you.

In private he is much more affectionate, but he has to be in the mood for it. And by that I mean if he’s not busy trying to get something done he’s down for sitting on the couch with you in his arms. He’s definitely the “big spoon” in any cuddling situation. He really loves to feel your body on top of his. For example he’ll sit with his back against the arm of the couch with you laying against his chest. At night he’ll tuck you under his arm so that you can rest your head against his chest. And if he’s feeling particularly “cuddly” he’ll wrap his arms around your middle and almost wrap himself around you.

He feels the most cuddly after he has sex. He absolutely is the kind of person that wants to stay in bed with you and hold you close. He runs his fingers up and down your arms, playing with your hair and just overall paying a lot of attention to you.

I- Irritation (What is something that irritates them? How do they show their irritation?)

The biggest thing that annoys Frank is people who talk way too much. He is a man of few words and to him there is a very clear definition between useful conversation and conversation for the sake of noise. He hates the later. He thinks it’s obvious that when one participant in the conversation stops responding with more than one word that the conversation is over. But there are some people who cannot stop talking and they just keep making the same comments over and over again. Frank has no time for it. He will happily get up and leave or very simply tell them to shut up.

He get’s even more annoyed when people who talk too much talk about things that are not their business. Gossiping is a huge no for Frank. Everyone’s got their issues and he doesn’t take kindly to people that try to make themselves feel better by judging other people. He will shut gossipers down in a second with a simple “It’s not your business so shut your mouth.” And it works every single time. No one wants to disobey Frank Castle. Especially when he feels so strongly about something.

J- Jackpot (How would they spend their winnings if they won the lottery?)

Not Requested Yet

K- Kryptonite (What is their ultimate weakness?)

Franks two biggest weaknesses are animals and kids. He barely gives a shit about grown women and men because they’re grown and they can make their own decisions. But kids and animals are vulnerable and they need protection. They don’t have the power to control their own lives and Frank takes that responsibility on himself. It’s the dad gene that is ingrained in his very being.

It’s easy to see that he loves animals. Dogs, cats, birds, whatever it is Frank has a respect for it. His favorites are dogs obviously and he can’t stand to see dogs suffering. He thinks the worst kind of people are the people who abuse dogs. (Though he thinks anyone who abuses anything is a piece of shit that needs to be taught a lesson.) In a more peaceful life Frank would have probably rescued and fostered dogs as much as possible. And he finds himself detouring missions for the sake of an animal’s safety.

Frank is also very weak to children. He had his own children taken away from him so that plays a part in it, but even before he had his own kids he loved kids. There’s something about the fact that they have so much life ahead of them and inside of them that he loves. He feels the intense need to make sure that kids can live the full life that they deserve. The perfect human shield from Frank is a child, because he would rather shoot himself in the foot than harm a child. However, once he get’s the child out of harms way (which he will) he’s going to destroy whoever decided it was a good idea to force a child into a world of crime.

L- Laughter (What makes them laugh?)

The number one thing that will make Frank laugh is you laughing. He loves your laugh so much because it means that you’re happy and enjoying yourself. He loves the meaning behind it and he just loves the sound. He thinks it is one of the most beautiful sounds and he will absolutely not let you make fun of your own laugh. If you’re laughing at something chances are he’s going to start laughing with you even if he doesn’t find anything actually funny.

He also laughs ironically at things a lot. Like someone tries to threaten him and he’ll give them a small chuckle. He uses laughter as a challenge. If he gives a short laugh at anything that you say, he’s challenging you to actually go through with it. “I’m gonna destroy your entire life, Punisher.” And all he’ll do is laugh. Good luck bud.

M- Morning ( How do they wake up in the morning? Are they a morning person or a morning grouch?)

I wouldn’t say that Frank is a morning person but he’s not horrible in the morning. He wakes up slowly during peaceful times. It takes him about half an hour to fully wake up and before that he’s just not very responsive or fun to be around. Just generally very groggy and only speaks in mumbles and grumbles. But normally once he’s awake he’s awake for the rest of the day so he doesn’t sleep in a lot. At the very most he’ll sleep an hour later than usual and at that point he just has to get up and get out of bed. If he needs to wake up quickly he can drink a warm drink, most likely coffee, and get himself going.

His favorite way to wake up in the morning is with you in the same bed as him. He doesn’t need to be wrapped around you or you crowding up in his space, it’s enough that you’re just nearby. He’s very likely to trace the features of your face gently or play with your hair while he lays there and admires you. If he wakes you up all the better because now he can see you’re beautiful eyes and he thinks you look gorgeous when you wake up in the morning.

N- Needy (When do they feel particularly needy? How do they show it?)

Frank is a very straight forward person in general. If he wants something he’s going to ask you for it or he will give you very heavy hints that are unmissable. he get’s needy when he’s been away from you for a long time or the two of you have been busy in your own lives. He’s also a self proclaimed “old-fashioned tough guy” so he can handle a cold or the flue without being whiny, but his need for affection/attention increases by about 200%.

As far as how he shows that he’s being needy, like I said before he’s very straight forward. If he wants to be near you, he’ll sneak up to you while you cook and wrap his arms around your middle and refuse to let go. If he wants you to stop moving around the house and spend time with him, he’ll grab you as you walk by and move the two of you to the couch or the bed.

O- Oasis (Where is their happy place? Where would they go if they didn’t have anything holding them back?)

He’s a pretty simple man. He doesn’t want to go to some foreign country or some over the top beach. He just wants to be left alone. Preferably he’d want to be somewhere with a little bit of isolation but isn’t too far from civilization. Think a nice farm house with a lot of land and few neighbors, but the nearest grocery store is only like 20 minutes away. After moving from place to place so long he’d like to have a place where he can settle in and make an actual home.

He also likes to take trips up to the mountains where he live with the trees and just enjoy nature. The mountains are really nice because there’s a lot of peaceful sounds, like the birds and bugs and any bodies of water that are nearby. He’s not concerned with spending time on the water, but he likes to take hikes.

Ultimately though his happy place is anywhere with you that he feels secure. And if that place happens to be in the middle of a big city in a small apartment so be it. He can be happy anywhere as long as he has you by his side and he doesn’t feel like he’s being hunted.

P- Pain (How do they handle pain? How do they handle when you are in pain?)

I think it’s pretty clear that Frank handles pain extraordinarily well. Especially when he’s in the moment. We’ve seen Frank get shot in the middle of the fight and keep going so his adrenaline really overrides all of his sense of pain. He get’s more sensitive once the adrenaline wears off. He’s not Superman so if he is injured he feels it and it definitely hurts. He isn’t going to recklessly reopen wounds or do anything to further or worsen his pain. However, if it’s necessary he can push through a lot of pain to continue moving and get to somewhere safe. And he doesn’t do this by somehow “dulling” or getting rid of his pain. He basically just clenches his teeth and deals with it. He’s also very good at patching himself up which often involves pulling shrapnel from injuries and giving himself stitches.

Everything changes when you’re in pain. He hates it. He hates it more than anything else in the entire world. Your pain is just a constant reminder that he failed to keep you safe and protected. And now he might have inflict even more pain on you to fix the problem that he created. He is very good at responding to your pain. He doesn’t freak out or turn frantic, his mind becomes very focused. He knows exactly what he has to do to get you out of the dangerous situation and minimize your pain as much as possible. He normally stays as far away from doctor’s and hospitals as possible, but he will break that rule for you. Could he give you stitches, pull out pieces of metal and bandage your wounds? Yes he could. But he doesn’t know if he can handle seeing you suffering from pain that he is inflicting. He also doesn’t want you to have permanent damage and scars just because he was afraid of going to the hospital and being found out.

Q- Quote (What’s a quote that fits them and your relationship)

Not Requested Yet

R- Reunion (How do they celebrate seeing you after a long time of being apart)

Not Requested Yet

S- Stress (What stresses them out? How do deal with stress and how do they relieve it?)

Everything stresses Frank out let’s be real. He’s a big tough guy with a majorly soft heart so he’s worried for everyone 24/7 even if he will never show or admit it. Plus add in the fact that he is a dad and now he’s worried about all the kids he sees.

Though on a more serious note he can be really good at hiding away his stress and packing it away until he can properly deal with it. If he is set on a mission and he has an end goal in sight and the process of getting to that goal is what stresses him out, he get’s all the more determined to reach his goal. If his goal is to take down an enemy, he get’s more ruthless in his fights and he doesn’t properly take breaks even if he’s running on zero sleep and coffee. In a more mundane life where his goals are less high stakes he still runs himself ragged, but he can be pretty easily convinced to take a break and rest a bit.

Sometimes he’ll drink to relieve stress, but he tries not to make it a habit. Instead he likes to watch sports games like football or hockey to take the edge off a stressful day.

But by far the most stressful thing that exists in his life is you. He heavily prescribes to the “Happy wife (or husband) happy life” motto. He wants you to be happy and safe. Sometimes that means doing stuff that he doesn’t like such as cooking food or folding laundry. And other times that means pursuing a huge crime syndicate and destroying it from the inside out in order to keep you safe. Whatever it is he has to do it’s worth it if he can eventually make it back to your home and settle himself into a nice comfortable couch with you tucked against his chest and the TV droning uselessly in the background.

T- Terror (What are they afraid of?)

Frank Castle’s biggest fear is having more people ripped away from him. He’s not afraid of guns, heights, snakes, sharks or even death it self. But he is terrified of losing people close to him. He struggles with this to such a large degree that he tries to distance himself from people or even convince himself that he doesn’t actually care about people. But let’s be honest, Frank get’s attached to people extremely quickly. He’s a family oriented guy and because he doesn’t have a blood family anymore he continually collects people in his own sort of family. But if you ever asked him about it, he would deny it for years. Because as soon as his enemies know he cares about people they will try and kill them. He cannot deal with any more people being taken from him.

He worries about this to the point that he has regular night terrors about people dying. It started out as just his family and that particular version of the nightmare still happens, but the more people he cares for the more people appear in his dreams.

U- Unique (What is a quirk that is unique to them?)

Frank has a couple ticks that you can see in the show that he expresses when he’s nervous. For one he rubs his hands together a lot, especially when he’s talking at a table or sitting down in some way with nothing in his hands. He also rubs his nose a lot and just generally moves his head around a lot.

But outside of what we can see in the show I am a firm believer in the fact that he makes dad noises every single time he get’s up or sits down. It is honestly a compulsion, if you tell him to get up without making a noise it is impossible. He is going to make some kind of noise. Also makes the exact same noise if he’s lifting anything remotely heavy. It’s cute and funny the first couple of times, but I can imagine if he’s doing it repeatedly it could get annoying.

V- Violence (Do they fight a lot? Are they a good fighter? What is their fighting style?)

Not Requested Yet

W- Wow (What do you do that really surprises them? What do you do that they really like?)

Frank Castle could ascend into heaven every single time you wake up and make breakfast for him. Normally he’s the first person to wake up because his body is just used to waking up super early in the morning. So when you wake up earlier than him and also manage to have breakfast ready it’s really special. The first time he wakes up to the smell of warm food it immediately brings him back to his life with his wife and family. For a few seconds it’s like he’s traveled back in time, but he quickly remembers himself. His wife and kids are gone and they’re not coming back. But now he has you and he’s moving forward in his life once again. His bed feels 10 times more comfortable than normal and he has to work really hard to get himself out of bed.

He wanders out of the room without putting any proper clothes on and makes his way over to the kitchen. He attaches himself to your back and wraps his arms around your waist. He mumbles a good morning into your ear in that rumble early morning voice you love so much. You have to force him to let you go so that you can finish the meal.

Another thing that always really surprises him is when you get assertive or defensive when someone is being rude or too pushy. He loves being able to protect you, but he loves it even more when he knows that you can take care of yourself. He doesn’t have to worry about anyone harassing you because you are always prepared to defend yourself. Of course if anything becomes too much Frank is always prepared to step in and keep you say.

X- (Explicit headcanon. For all you degenerates)

Frank is definitely dominant in many aspects of his life and it definitely translates to his sex life as well. However, that doesn’t mean that he has to be on top all the time. In fact he really likes when his partner is on top. What can I say he’s a very hardworking man and he likes to be able to have a good time and do minimal effort. He’ll make it a good time though don’t worry.

He prefers to have as much skin on skin contact as possible. His hands are on you the entire time and he loves pressing kisses to any stretch of skin that he has access to. Also because he loves skin contact he is not a fan of having sex with any amount of clothes on. If you have long hair he definitely uses it as a handle to move your head around as he pleases. You better make sure he doesn’t have any rings on because they will be tangled. His handling gives sex hair a whole new meaning. Don’t plan on going anywhere for a while.  

Y- Yucky (Is there something that grosses them out so badly that they can’t deal with it?)

Not Requested Yet

Z- ZZZ’s (What are their sleeping habits? Both with and without you)

He likes having a normal sleeping schedule. He get’s tired at the same time every night and he wakes up at the same time every morning. On nights when he has to stay up late he tends to suffer a lot for the next couple of days regardless of how much sleep he catches up on. He sees sleep as a necessity rather than something to enjoy so it will always annoy him just how much he needs sleep. He will never tell anyone, but sometimes he feels jealous of people that regularly pull all-nighters and use the time to be productive.

When he sleeps he can have good nights and he can have bad nights. He suffers from PTSD so he has some nights where he tosses and turns and just can’t seem to have a calm moment and other nights his head hits the pillow and he’s out cold with his limbs splayed across the entire bed. When you start spending nights in the same bed as him things calm down a little bit but not entirely. He still has nights where he’s yanked out of sleep only to find out that he’s essentially run you out of the bed and you’ve moved to the couch. But then there are also nights where he cuddles right up to you and wraps himself around you for a long night of sleep. Every night is a toss up so you might want to have a second set of sheets lying around and a really comfy couch to crash on.
