āIām Only Gonna Say This Onceā¦ā ~Kastle!~
I think I want to try to draw at least one thing for all my ships. That would be great. And challenging. But anyway, here is one of my favorite ships from Netflix!Marvel⦠Karen Page and Frank Castle! Canāt wait for Punisher Season 2 and also to see my babe Karen Page in DareDevil Season 3!Ā
Black and White alt version with the white roses Punisher symbol below the cut:
Keep reading
I need a new season of The Punisher for more Kastle content, please you can see how much chemistry they have, they deserve a happy ending together
now that the daredevil fandom is back up and swinging, iām seeing a lot of ship discourse.
āthat scene was all about mattfoggy, how could anyone think itās fratt?ā
āif they try to make karedevil a thing iām going to riotā
ākastle is obviously better than karedevilā
personally, i think they should all just be allowed to kiss each other.
Ship two men without shitting on their canonical female love interests challenge!
Put me in a room with Deborah Ann Woll and Jon Bernthal I need to know which one came up with the idea of Kastle having each other's phone number first
good morning is it 2026 yet
Frank and Karen
Daredevil Season 2 + The Punisher + DDBA
He is, father
Ms Woll herself just decided to start a lil ship war over on twitter so, go vote if any of you still have accounts on that hellscape app.
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 š 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!!
i think i would choose crossing the red line and years and years of pining yet with minimal dialogue more-so screen time together and potted white roses and hugs and eyes that tell everything and make it mean something and you asked me for a favor, i did it, i would die for you, and most importantly, maāam
thank you very much
what i love about kastle is that itās always frank waking up in a bed like some battle-worn damsel in distress, and honestly? i hope they keep that tradition alive in the punisher special
"Let me make it mean something."
----
we interrupt your irregularly scheduled Oshamir for some Kastle, which is the only thing DDBA had to deliver on and did it ever.
I think Frank needs to grovel a bit right? That's right here you go.
do you ever just think about frank and karen in dds2, tps1&2, and now ddba, and think, damnā
Jesus Christ! You believe me now? I believe you. I believe you.
DAREDEVIL ā 2.10 "The Man in the Box"
If anything, I really feel as though that episode cemented the fact that despite their lingering feelings for one another, Matt and Karen are capable of being 'just friends'.
Frank and Karen are not. They will never be able to be around one another without emotional devastation following because their feelings are that strong. There is no such thing as ~casual~ for them, they can't just meet up for diner coffee and gossip because they can't pretend they don't want each other. Frank can't even look her in the eyes without laying his soul bare! There is no reality in which these two people are just casual buddies.
I think they will continue to be in each other's corner, but Karen walking away really cemented that she can't do the halfway in, halfway out thing that she can do with Matt. It's all or nothing.
Either Frank lets her in and the two of them are together for real, or she can't be in his life.
when u see your crush and u tryna act super casual
Iāll keep reblogging this everytime I see it. It still feels surreal to have this.
Frankās eyes says it all.
THIS IS A LOOK OF YEARNING
THIS MAN YEARNS
((Also Mattās face hearing Frankās and Karenās heartbeat<3))
narratively I am a fan of romances that donāt ever actually become romances
I donāt mean in an aromantic life partner way, I mean romantic tension that is never resolved or acted upon for whatever reason but by the end itās clear that both characters experienced the love of their lives without ever acknowledging it as such. but they know. they know.
lieberman would have rolled on the floor if he saw frank fidgeting and internally losing his mind over karenās āno, thank youā i just know it
and guess who else? Foggy. Foggy would go red trynna keep his laughter in bc he wouldnāt dare. not in front of the punisher. but he would
karen page had the punisher fidget and lose his sass
If you weren't watching Daredevil and the Punisher when they were coming out it may not be obvious to you-
But the Karen and Frank chemistry was an accident. They caught lightning in a bottle between two characters who never even interact in the comics, but the actors just go crazy in a room with each other.
And they assumed that the Punisher's audience skewed heavily male, that they'd refuse to watch anything not already established in the comics, and that they'd scorn any new plot where The Punisher feels love for anyone, so the writers/producers never fully went there. Even though they clearly know that Frank is made all the more interesting, all the more tragic, when he's not just wallowing in grief for a lost family- he's actively denying the potential of healing and love with a new person. He's consistently being offered a redemptive escape from the violent path he's chosen and he consistently denies it, even though it's clear as day how badly he wants it. That's a more interesting choice! It makes him more pathetic and self-denying, it shows him thinking that he doesn't deserve healing, it shows his conflicted awareness of his own morality, it makes him worse, it makes it clear that this character is tragic instead of aspirational.
So they gave as many hints as they could. The near kiss in the elevator, Karen's heartbeat, the dress Maria wears in his last vision of her (as he lets go of her hand) matching the fabric of the blouse Karen wore the first time he ever saw her, Karen insisting he try to love someone else instead of another war, Micro saying "that's my family that's my wife" and Frank responding "so is Karen." They made it as obvious as they could without actually saying it because they didn't want to piss off the fan base who wants Frank to be a static, stoic, one dimensional vengeance machine.
But now they're back after SEVEN YEARS and they're not fucking around. The first time they're on screen together it is Textually Acknowledged and Stated Out Loud that Frank Castle's heart does the fucking samba when he looks at Karen Page. Matt, the Human Polygraph Test, tells Karen that Frank loves her and that he knows how she feels about him too. (Not to even mention the way he looks at her and acts around her, because Jesus Christ, I have never seen anyone more obviously lovesick.)
This is wild. That's more than the writers really wanting to make it obvious but always hedging. That's more than the actors loading as much weight into each glance as possible because they're gunning for it so hard. It's not just hints, it's text. It's canon.
