Daredevil Friend Meme

[castalie]

Ok, this is the first time I even think of holding such a thing but I keep seeing people who seem to have fallen for Daredevil as hard as I did, except they're (so far) all nonnies on the DD kink meme (which, at the moment is a bit like my home away from home) and I'd love to see who's behind the anon masks... so to speak ;)

So this is an attempt at a Daredevil oriented Friend meme... if people are around, and interested.

Forgot to add, obviously have fun and be nice to each other. Matt Murdock has nothing on me when I'm unhappy because of rude people ;)

Ok, I'll start. I don't think I ever participated in a Friend Meme before, I think you're supposed to have categories that you fill but let's so with simple, ok?

So I'm Mouse, I'm French - living in the suburb of Paris if that tickles your fancy ;) - and thirty-five (ha, almost thirty-six, actually).

I've been on LJ for more than ten years now but it does feel like I've been there all my life :) I'm sadly not active as I used to be although I never left for greener pastures so I'm still firmly an LJ/DW member. I've also decided to make a conscious effort to be more active around here and post more regularly (so far so good), as as much as I enjoy Twitter and Tumblr, I just don't think they're the best platforms to engage with other fans (personal opinion, obviously).

My journal is usually a mix between fannish and personal content.

If you check my LJ, you'll notice that Daredevil is basically in every one of my recent entries. That's because DD has basically taken over my life? Ok, it might sound a bit overdramatic but let's just that I fell for DD and fell hard, I'm on my third watching of the show (as in the whole season) and I might have watched some specific episodes more than three times. Possibly.

I don't think there's a single thing I don't like in DD; I love how dark and gritty it is, how realistic the fighs are (in so far as they're fights in a superhero type show) but I love that Matt never wins easily or sometimes just doesn't win at all. Not gonna lie, I love seeing him tired and in pain but still going. I might be ridiculously in love with Matt Murdock, vigilante, broken duck and sweetheart extraordinaire ;)

Although I guess I'm actually poly because I love everyone else too? I think all the characters are interesting and the cast absolutely brilliant. So I just adore Foggy, Karen and Claire. But I might also be fascinated with Wesley and Vanessa and Fisk. And I might have rooted for Vladimir and Anatoly. Yes, DD made me root for the Russian mob, what can I say.

As far as fic is concerned, I'm into Foggy/Matt but if/when Karen is involved (especially if it's to top the hell out of Matt), I'm all for it! Same thing with Claire. I'm basically reading all the pairing combos the fandom has to offer. Basically. Because I'm easy like that and I just can't get enough of DD goodies :)

If you want to chat, about DD or just anything else, be my guest.

[Sorry, this got longer than I intended, which if you knew me wouldn't surprise you at all lol. There's absolutely no need to ramble as I just did, really, if you want to drop a one-liner, that's perfectly ok too!]

Hello!

[garrideb]

I've been on LJ/DW for over ten years, too! I'm only semi-active, though. I post once or twice a month, usually.

Although I love most of Marvel's movies, I tend to get more fannish over TV shows, so DD has been perfect. The storytelling is really decompressed, so you get wonderful character beats, both light-hearted and angst-filled. That's the kind of stuff that makes me go searching for fic!

I also do love how Matt doesn't win his fights easily, and how much time he spends bloody. ;-)

I totally agree with your shipping! I'm mostly into Matt/Foggy/Karen, but I also like Matt/Claire and Fisk/Vanessa (+Wesley). Can I just say that the fact that the show made me care about Fisk's emotional well-being is amazing. He's a terrible murderer but I really wanted him to find love with Vanessa!

I've left a few prompts on the kinkmeme, and am eyeing a few to fill, but it'll have to wait until I finish a fanvid I'm working on. (It's due on Sunday!) I'm mostly in to hurt/comfort and fluff, but I'll read most anything.

Re: Hello!

[castalie]

Hello,

Guess we're both LJ dinosaurs ;)

I'm not a fan of Marvel's movies at all DD was quite the surprise! Albeit a very pleasant one, obviously ♥

Matt suffers beautifully, doesn't he? Both physically and mentally. Thank you, Charlie Cox, for being so lovely when hurting!

Yes, Fisk is fascinating. As is Vanessa. Their relationship is just incredible. I didn't think I would enjoy it so much but I do, I most certainly do!

I've been having so much fun over at the kinkmeme! Both leaving prompts and going through them all. And there have been some awesome fills. Actually, the whole fandom is just brilliant, I'm having so much with it.

And omg, you're making a fanvid? Be still my heart. I'll make sure to check it out :)

PS: I see that you're a WTNV fan? I am as well. I was lucky enough to see them live when they toured in Europe last year (I never thought they'd come to Paris, talk about a miracle) and I would LOVE to see them again...

Re: Hello!

[garrideb]

Charlie Cox makes a beaten Matt look good, it's true! It's great because it means there'll be plenty of h/c in this fandom. It's a nice feeling to be falling into DD fandom, because it's been a few years since I fell for a new movie or show.

Do you have any particular hopes for season two?

Oh, it's not a Daredevil fanvid! It's for a comic book called Pretty Deadly. I hope people do vid DD, though - I love watching vids so much.

Yay, another WtNV fan! I'm glad they've got so many fans all around the world. It's funny; I can't even imagine living in Paris, but I did live a couple of years in the Arizona desert when I was young, so Night Vale seems less exotic in some ways ;-)

Re: Hello!

[castalie]

it means there'll be plenty of h/c in this fandom.

True! What I also enjoy immensely is that it also means we get a lot of protective!anyone taking care of (or, well, trying to) of hurt!Matt and that, right there, is also a huge kink of mine :p

Do you have any particular hopes for season two?

I know that I'd love to have an episode where Matt gets his eardrums ruptured after an explosion (or something) and gets to rely entirely on Foggy/anyone else but that's a pretty specific wish, I don't have any particular hopes for season 2 in general... apart from the fact that I hope they don't change the dynamics between Matt and Foggy as I love their friendship so much! I mean, obviously it's going to evolve, what with Foggy knowing about Daredevil but I just don't want things to change drastically between them, they're just so adorable together. Also, wait, I know I'd love to see more of Claire.

Well, I don't live in Paris, exactly, I live in the suburbs, though I do work in Paris and basically spend a lot of my free time there :)

Helloooo! I wandered over from the kinkmeme; I don't really know anything about friend meme etiquette, so I'll just kinda follow your lead.

I'm another LJ dinosaur--I'm 33 (nearly 34, ugh), and I started using LJ back when I was...18, I think. I left a few years ago when all of my friends left for Facebook. I've recently been getting into fandom again, and so I'm starting over with new accounts and trying to figure out what the cool kids are using these days. It's exhausting.

I've always identified as a writer, but until a few weeks ago, I hadn't actually written anything in years. I've been fangirling all over the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and though I'm primarily all about Tony Stark/Bruce Banner, I haven't actually written anything for that ship yet. I've been hanging around the Daredevil kinkmeme and doing a couple of fills. It's been immensely helpful in getting my toes back in the water.

In DD, I'm a total Matt/Foggy shipper, but I'll read anything that involves Matt, because oh my lord that man is beautiful. The combination of Charlie Cox's smoldering lips and the brilliant writing on the show...my knees go weak, I swear.

Ummmm...that's all I've got right now. Thanks for hosting this!

[castalie]

Hey! Glad to hear you were able to find your way here :)

Always nice to know I'm not the only who remembers LJ from Back in the Days *high fives*

That DD kinkmeme is so dangerous! Once you start going there, there's no coming back! There are so many wonderful prompts to reply to, so many fills to read. I love that place! Go you for getting your toes back in the water; I'm not surprised Matt and Foggy inspired you, though ;)

Thank you for taking the time to comment!

[maximumhusky]

Friend meme? Sounds interesting to me. :)

How's it going peeps? I actually haven't seen DareDevil yet, but since I have Netflix, I might as well lol. Any warnings about the show before I go in?

[castalie]

It's pretty casual, as meme goes ;)

I do vote for you giving a go to Darevedil! Not that I'm obsessed with it or anything ;)

Any warnings about the show before I go in?

Well, some people have found it a bit too gritty for their taste; there is some violence, there's no denying that. It all depends on your level of tolerance, I guess :)

[maximumhusky]

High in grit, eh? I like to think I'm pretty tolerant to dark stuff (thank you, grim-as-fuck Russian literature), so I'll see how it goes. :)

Me I think?

[juicefox]

I got to this post from tumblr (juicefox there also) but I am using dw too and I know literally no one except my husband irl who likes Daredevil and obviously there are extents to which I do not frequently discuss it with him, for example OH MY GOD I LOVE MATT MURDOCK. But also:

a) we're only two eps into this season so I'm trying to avoid spoilers (lame I know) and

b) I'm not sure if this is for one specific kink only and/or whether that one is, um, mine. I'm on mobile and it's rubbish trying to sort things out.

Re: Me I think?

[castalie]

Hello!

Nice to know you found your way here *waves*

a) That's not lame at all. I went into the new season unspoiled as well. Finished it two days ago. You're in a for a treat - in case you had any doubt ;) The first season remains my favourite but the second one was really good too. Now I'm impatiently waiting to hear about the third season, they have to give us one, right?

b) Defininitely not just one specific kink! And it's more than ok if you don't share it, btw, we all have our kinks, right? If you want to elaborate, be my guest ;) If not, hey, it was nice to talk to you anyway! I always enjoy talking about DD!
