Matt Murdock Has A Tumblr

Matt Murdock has a Tumblr

This came from from a conversation I had with my friend @marvelvibess and was posted with their permission. 

-Matt got tumblr around the time he became Daredevil, maybe a little before

-He has three kinds of posts: Pulitzer worthy treatise on morality, truth and justice, the most unhinged shitposts known to man and incoherent nonsense, there is no in between

-He gathers quite a following 

-He post 2-3 times a week exclusively in the middle of the night

-His user is BlindJustice666

-Everyone is like who is this fucker and is he ok (the consensus is that he is very not ok) 

-Sometimes he posts things like “I think God wants me dead” and everyone is like ok mood but are you good??? (he’s not)

-People genuinely can’t tell if he’s a devout catholic or a troll (plot twist he’s both) 

-Someone: OP you good? BlindJustice666: God has forsaken me to live for my sins. Someone: Understandable have a nice day 

-Someone: OP you good? BlindJustice666: *audio clip of someone screaming* Someone: Understandable have a nice day

-He either has the best tags or literally none 

-Everyone is like this person either has a PhD or dropped out of High school and they don’t know which

-Someone: Hey OP what do you do for a living? BlindJustice666: *longwinded answer about serving truth and justice that clears nothing up* 

-The post after that is the same ask except this time he responds “well sometimes I punch people” 

-No one knows whats up with him but they love it 

-He gets the most batshit asks and he answers every single one

-After season 3 Karen and Foggy find it 

-They go to the Upper East Side to read it together thinking their gonna have a laugh but end up sobbing instead 

-They make it a weekly thing to go somewhere he wont here them and read his new posts to check up on him.

-They sometimes send him anonymous asks to check in with him

-When he posts incoherent nonsense they know to check for a concussion  

-He’s somehow unaware that they found his blog 

-Matt makes a very angsty and dramatic post after the fight with Foggy in season 1. Everyone offers to fight the friend he’s talking about.

-When Foggy finds this post it hits him how shitty he was that night

-At the beginning of Season 3 he makes some very angsty posts that low key makes everyone worried he’s gonna kill himself (their not wrong)

-Every few months he posts something thats a red flag 

-Matt figures out his autistic from tumblr (he’s absolutely autistic and you can pry that head canon from my cold dead hands)

-He finds out because he posts something and someone responds “hey OP you ever hear of autism cuz I’m like 99% sure you’ve got it” 

-He’s like 😮😮😮 {three shocked emojis} and does’t post for two weeks which is worrying to everyone because because its around the time he’s made a red flag post but he comes back and starts posting like nothings happened

-He deep dived into researching autism and figures out that he indeed has it

-This is around season 1 and he tells no one

-he makes some posts about it months later 

-Karen and Foggy find these posts after season 3 and are like “fuck” and start trying to surreptitiously accommodating that without letting him know that they know

-He stops posting right after Midland Circle (obviously) and everyone is worried

-The first post after is “Sorry I disappeared for a while I died for like a week them my arch nemesis tried to kill me and I kind of think I’m hallucinating???” 

-He posts “why do I fail at everything? I can not even die properly. God has forsaken me to live. His retribution is worse than Hell itself” after his Season 3 suicide attempt and everyone is worried (as they should be) 

-After that people send him asks like hey please keep living you make out lives better 

-He absolutely looses it when he sees those asks and Maggie finds him sobbing on the floor. he’s like “oh no they don’t know how terrible a person I am”

-He makes a whole post apologizing for playing them and making them think he’s not a monster

-no one believes it

-Eventually Karen shows Sister Maggie the blog so she can also keep an eye on him. 

-Her user name is just maggie 

-She doesn’t really post anything but if she did Tumblr would love her 

-Matt never makes posts with info that could be linked back to him

-However he does make some posts that are supposed to be “fun stories” from his childhood 

-He has some posts about Stick

-BlindJustice666: *random super fucked up story about Stick* So that was a weird thing that happened lol. Everyone: *concern* 

-Everyone is mildly concerned that he was a child soldier (Their not wrong) 

-Everything he posts is so incredibly specific or very very vague

-In conclusion Matt needs a tumblr like yesterday, he’s just the right amount of chaos to fit in well here      

Ableism in the Defenders Saga

Something that I noticed while watching the NMCU shows are how differently Matt gets treated from Jessica, Luke and Danny. Neither Jessica or Luke want to be vigilantes. Jessica has to be persuaded by Trish and Malcolm and Luke has to be pushed by Pops and Claire. Even then they both only do it when it becomes clear that by not acting people will get hurt/raped/killed. I don’t really have any intrest in Danny and haven’t watched much of his show but from what I understand his friends are pretty supportive of him too.

Then theres Matt. Literally all of his friends have tried to get him to stop and given him shit for trying to help people. Even Claire says she can’t date him because of Daredevil then turns around and dates Luke. Now Claire can date whoever she wants and I don’t ship Matt/Claire (NurseDevil???) but just purely from that standpoint its pretty hypocritical. The only difference I can think of between all of them is Matt’s disability. As a disabled person myself I can confidently say that abled people get incredibly uncomfortable when the people they think are helpless/need protection are not helpless and able to stand up for themselves. So, a disabled person who goes out and protects others? Unthinkable. 

But Phoenix! You cry, Jessica, Luke and Danny all have physical enhancements/powers that Matt doesn't have! Don’t they all have valid concerns? Well let’s take a look at Frank. He has 0 powers and yet all his friends support him going out and doing what he does and when they do argue its about his penchant for maximum casualties or trying to get him to stop meddling in government business, not out of fear for his safety. Matt is just as competent, if not more so, then Frank is. I mean sure his hand to hand is good but the only way he beats Matt is with guns. Hell Matt even beats Danny, the guy who was trained since childhood to be a master martial artist and supposedly fought a dragon. 

So really the only reason I can see for people to give Matt shit for his activities is ableism and seeing as Foggy says some incredibly ableist shit I don’t think this theory is that far fetched.

Season 3 and Matt’s Fake Death

I know a lot of people say that Matt was an asshole at the beginning of season 3 for not telling Foggy and Karen that he was alive after Midland Circle. When I first watched it I thought that too but now not so much. 

Let’s set the context. The beginning of TD makes it clear that Karen and Foggy aren’t talking to Matt after season 2. Which means that Matt has been totally alone for months. Not only that but they both said some really shitty things to him during and after the Castle trial. 

Then he finds out that The Hand is back and they’re going to destroy New York City. He does what he has to and dawns the suit again. He brings in Foggy and Karen to keep them safe and they give him nothing but shit for “relapsing” (I have Thoughts™ about them comparing DD to an addiction but thats for another post) despite the fact that he’s trying to save lives.

So of course he doesn’t tell them he’s alive. For the last idk six months they’ve done nothing but abandon and belittle him because of Daredevil. At the beginning of season 3 he says that Matt Murdock is dead and only Daredevil (the part of him that his friends hate) remains. Do you really blame him for letting them think he’s dead?

Jen, Matt and Jess in court

This is kind of an addition to my last post

*Matt is representing Jessica Jones against someone who is being represented by Jennifer Walters. All hell breaks loose for some reason and Jen turns into the Hulk*

Matt: *slight fear* Jessica what the fuck am I sensing???

Jessica: I don't even know dude.

Matt: *trying to figure out wtf is going on while also being annoyed because he can't do shit right now with all these people here*

Jessica: *Placing herself between Matt and the chaos knowing full well he can handle himself but everyone else in the court doesn't so now she has to "protect" this dumbass lawyer who can totally defend himself*

Jessica: Calm the fuck down I got this.

Matt: *opens his mouth to protest*

Jessica: Don't you fucking dare out yourself, I got this covered congrats you're just a helpless blind lawyer now.

Matt: *glaring* I am not helpless!

Jessica: Thats why I told you, you fucking idiot! If you were helpless I wouldn't have had to say it! Now shut up!

Matt: *Sulks*

Jennifer: *listening to them bickering knowing full well who Matt is because of 4th wall breaking powers* Hey guys! What are you arguing about?

Jessica: *still standing protectively in front of Matt* My lawyer's an idiot

Matt: *offended noise*

Matt: Can someone please tell me what's going on?!

Jessica: Well she's like two feet taller now and green.

Matt: *visible confusion*

Jen: no no she's right

Matt: ha ha guys real funny to fuck with the blind guy

Jen: What? no we're not. I'm She-Hulk.

Matt: Haha Ya right Hulk's don't grow big and turn green.

Jen:...

Jessica:...

Everyone:...

Jessica: Dude what the fuck do you think a Hulk is???

Matt: *defensively* a really strong guy

Jen and Jess: 🤦

(this came from a conversation I had with @marvelvibesss so they get credit for some of this!)

Literally all of this! There is not enough NB Foggy content and we deserve more. 

Non binary Foggy Nelson thoughts/headcanons

-They came up with the nickname foggy when they were little (I know in the comics Matt comes up with it but in the MCU they’ve been using the name since before Matt)

-They came out when they were really young, just by telling their family and everyone else that they aren’t a boy

-because of this their family is super accepting, it’s just part of everyone’s life

-they just have a word for it now

- they are also bisexual

-they are terrified to come out to Matt because he’s catholic

-they have a pronoun pin and are slightly relived at first that Matt can’t see it because they don’t know how he’ll respond

- They are constantly trying to subtly bring up queer topics around Matt

- It does not work because Matt can hear how fast their heartbeat gets whenever they talk about it

-He can also tell how uncomfortable they get when someone calls them “he” but he doesn’t know why so he only ever calls them Foggy

- Foggy comes out to Matt in like their second year of law school

-they come out as bi first and then non binary

-Matt doesn’t fully understand but is super supportive

-Because of everything they talk about Matt realizes that he’s also bisexual and likes He/they pronouns

- when the NB flag is created (2014) Foggy is so excited and they immediately gos to get so many of them to hang everywhere

Bonus

-Karen and Marci are also trans :)

Reacting to TLAT Reviews pt1

I saw Thor: Love and Thunder last night and my friend @marvelvibess​ just sent me these hilarious reviews of the movie. They are too good not to react to honestly. 

{Image description: A post by user Logan Ory one day ago. There are 5 stars one is yellow the rest are white. It is light gray text on a black background. The text reads: Lots of gen Z jokes at an ADD pace with enough “woke” garbage to annoy even the most moderate of people. Humor was largely tasteless, action was good but few and far between, and the only really good character/character development was the villain. This movie is about as trash as a Marvel movie gets. They have not ceased to disappoint lately. Taika Waititi usually puts out great films, this was not on of them. End Image description}

As an ADHD gen Z I loved that “ADD pace!” This movie isn’t for you Logan its for the queer neurodivergents and I love it for that!  

{Image Description. Review by Rachel Tooley one day ago. There are five stars one is yellow and the rest are white. It is light grey text on a black background. The text reads: Chris Hemsworth is the only good thing about this movie. Watched every single Marvel movie and this is probably the last I’ll support. They’re ruining the MCU with their whole agenda. Whats the point of saying a rock is gay?? First off, 2 MALES can not procreate, second, its a rock, Why do they have to just shove and shove and shove LGBTQRSTUV down everyone’s throats. Go woke, go broke. End Image Description}

Ok so I love this one. First of all literally every marvel movie ever made has a political agenda. The comics do too! The mutants/X Men are an allegory for every minority. Caption America was created by two jewish men to fight Nazi’s in a time when nazi ideals were pretty common in the US. Marvel has never been apolitical.

Second I love how hung up on Korg being gay she is. First off Korg is gay, married to a man and has kids in the comics, its literally cannon. Second these movies involve: gods, aliens, genetically enhanced super soldiers and a man that can turn big and green and she’s mad about a gay rock??? Bro literally nothing in these movies are realistic, but unlike hulk, and super soldiers we know queer people exist. 

{Image description: Light grey text on a black background reading: Dare I say the “inclusiveness” may have seemed forced and unnecessary? Maybe the studio/producers/actors had too much to say and interfered with creativity, or Taika was trying too hard, I don’t know? End image description}

Karen diversity isn’t forced people just exist. Also it was talked about so naturally there was noting forced about it! Unnecessary! Bro do you know how excited I was to see queer people like me on the big screen!!! Good representation is always necessary! Also Taika was working hard. Working hard to give us the queer rep we want and deserve.
