Just Here To Remind Everyone That Frank Is Karen's Emergency Contact.

Karen said no to the coffee because Frank is still choosing another war instead of loving someone (her). Karen said no to the coffee because if she said yes, it would mean Frank was trying to choose both. But The Punisher can only have war and if he tried to make room for love and war, if would only end poorly. She knows it. So she says no to the coffee until the day he can end the wars and stop Punishing and only choose love.

But she smiles, because she knows him even offering, even trying to have love with the war instead of just the war is progress.

I believe in kastle endgame (or at least leaving things open to that possibility) because for frank, there is no one else. there's only karen.

thinking back to jon saying to deborah: "like what is he doing there? it's like if it's not you, everyone else is gone."

matt has a zillion love interests, and karen is one of them, but they're not going to introduce another love interest for frank. they're just not. so either he dies, or he lives the rest of his life alone, or he and karen get together.

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!!

what doesn't kill you makes you weird at intimacy

i was ready for a single 5 second shot of awkward eye contact and we got: kastle canon kept in touch and make phone calls, frank shaving, getting hair cut, and wearing aftershave because he knew he was going to see karen, karen making the man grovel as frank tries to make amends through caffeine, “i don’t believe you don’t care” “you asked me for a favour, i did it” “yes you did”, and THEIR HEARTBEATS????

i’m sorry that i doubted you, ddba

Oh ok so it turns out ive been borrowing grief from the future ! it turns out ive been preparing to lose the things i love rather than basking in the light of them while they last. Maybe i should nt do that

Still kinda crazy how kastle is this completely unplanned ship that was brought to life by the chemistry of Jon and Deb, and became so popular to where it's now in a love triangle with the comicbook canon ship. That's insane. And how? Before dd:ba, it was **mostly** subtext and tension; loaded looks, heavy silences, things not said and pure unadulterated yearning... And it's crazier when you remember that despite the emotional depth, Karen and Frank actually share a few scenes together compared to the other ships. But with those few scenes, they created a very compelling dynamic and forged a bond so layered and deep, so complex and emotionally intense that you forget they haven't really had much time together. We actually get to see their connection build on raw honesty, recognition, respect, darkness, and their willingness to just sacrifice for each other and it's undeniable. And the show runners saw all that and were smart enough to get with the program and recognize it in canon, endgame or not.

Honestly, major props to Jon and Deborah cos not many actors can do so much with only subtext and so little screen time together. With a few scenes and acting restrictions (they couldn't even kiss, their kiss scene was cut), they delivered on "show, don't tell". That's some A+ talent. They really did that. I'm awed.
