frank castle's nose.
what i would like out of the "triangle" is frank to start internally pushing back on the matt/good me/bad dichotomy he's been clinging to these past 6 years. conscious of it or not he uses matt as a bumper between him and karen when he thinks karen is getting too close ("almost took the shot/may i ask why you didn't?/you never lie to me/does he?") or in the hospital she tells him she'll love him despite the corpses that keep piling up around him ("maria knew what i was and she loved me anyway.") and her overtures get shut down with a ("does that matt murdock know you're here?")
except 6 years later and just the sight of karen and matt in proximity together is stirring up his jealousy. i think he could rationalize it at first but the softer, loving side of frank that is dying at being shoved down and forced to live in a murder bunker is going to start reminding him of all the grace and acceptance karen has offered and maybe? hopefully? start to see himself from her perspective.
in fanfiction we must sometimes ask ourselves not if he would do that but under what conditions would he would do that
“DO YOU TALK TO FRANK A LOT?" THE CHUCKLES? SHE ACTUALLY CALLED FRANK? KAREN HAS HIS NUMBER? "I HEARD YOUR HEARTBEATS AT HIS PLACE?" KAREN SAYING IT WASN'T FAIR LIKE SHE WAS CAUGHT HAVING FEELINGS FOR FRANK? AND THEN KAREN WANTED TO KNOW FRANK'S FEELINGS FOR HER? "DID YOU HEAR HIS HEART TOO?" WHY DO YOU WANNA KNOW KAREN? AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE HAD HIS NUMBER AND CALLED HIM TO HELP MATT BC SHE TRUSTED IN HIM? SHE HAS HIS NUMBER EXCUSE ME?????????
ok was anyone gonna tell me that after this iconic overdramatic panel:
1. matt realizes he was stupid for causing a GIANT EXPLOSION RIGHT BY HIS HEAD and 2. he TAKES OFF FRANKS SHIRT AND WEARS IT?!?!???
like. HELLO?!?!?? he so stupid i love him. they hate each other so much. they’re in love.
he needed a shirt so he just TOOK IT OFF OF FRANKS UNCONSCIOUS BODY 💀
