Just Imagine For A Moment David Lieberman Meeting Karen Page In The Flesh And Being All "Karen Page?

the absolute crux of the kastle bond is that they were both the protectors/providers of their families and they both carry around the guilt and blame of failing that responsibility. it's why karen starts crying literally anytime he starts talking about his family and how they were better off without him, she's not just being empathetic she knows from experience how it feels (she's the guy that jumps down in the hole with you because she's been there before and knows the way out)

I want Deborah Ann Woll to body slam me.

Wait, did I say that out loud?

When your man takes off his beard and you see him with no bruises for the first time ever and you're trying and failing not to stare at his handsome face.

“aww! my comfort character is so soft!”

the comfort character in question:

oh no a sassy character with a sad backstory that acts tough but is actually in a lot of emotional pain and is just as soft as a teddy bear oh no haha.........kiss mw

Not to be a High School English teacher on main but:

His heart beat faster as Daisy’s white face came up to his own. He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips’ touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete.

And I think it describes at least one of the reasons that Frank keeps pulling back right where Karen is ready to kiss him. We know that he feels like he’s dangerous to be around and he wants her to be safe and believes that means being not anywhere near him. We know that he feels like he is supposed to be dead, shouldn’t move on from his family’s murder and specifically from still seeing himself as married to his dead wife. But I also think that he’s terrified to kiss Karen because he knows that it will change him if he lets her in.

Right now his grief is effectively a super power: he’s driven, reckless, accepts no rules but those of his own heart/internal compass. No one can stop him because he’s a dead man walking. But if he lets Karen in, lets her breath new life into him, he will be a living breathing man again with something to lose. He is terrified to be human like that again.

(Not that he’s not already being impacted by this: he does care what she thinks, he does experience the panic of impending loss when she’s threatened. But he’s trying, so hard, not to let that transform him.)

As a bonus, we know that Frank and Karen both read that book (every high school student in the United States was assigned it in 11th grade at the time they were teenagers and there is evidence that both of them actually did their English class readings).

So it’s entirely possible that Frank might even make that connection for himself. They could even argue about it (I don’t think Karen would appreciate being compared to Daisy, even if that’s not actually the point Frank was trying to make).

EVERYONE BE QUIET I CAN HEAR CHEESE

the punisher character list ≡ [1/?] frank castle

first time, as long as i can remember, i don’t have a war to fight. and i guess, if i’m gonna be honest, i just… i’m scared.

gosh, this actually took me more than an hour to do. anyway, tumblr saw this first!!

i also know that there are no scenes from ddba...and that's cause i can't find any scenepacks 😃 so i opted for the last scene of them in the punisher s2.

totally will redo once i find a ddba scenepack (recommend me some accounts that do have them!!)

+ i got the inspiration of doing this from @oneilsxcc on instagram!!

good morning is it 2026 yet
