Underrated form of intimacy:

The quiet discussion and good-luck affirmations between you and the person helping you don your armor. The comfort of knowing that the straps and buckles are perfectly secure, because the person who did them up loves you more than words can say.

Equally underrated form of intimacy:

The absolute relief when a loved one helps you remove your armor. Not in a sexy way, no–you’re sweaty and exhausted and covered in bruises, and you feel instant relief when the pauldrons are lifted off your shoulders. You don’t have to worry about keeping track of the various pieces, because they’re already being lovingly wiped down and put safely away while you unlace your boots. The weight on your shoulders is replaced by a gentle touch, reminding you that someone is proud of you, and you’re safe to rest now.

“sleepy cause of all them nightmares keeping you up” “…’s not the nightmares” “uh huh. all right then you can’t handle spicy food” “…huh—what??” “it’s the spicy food before bed time, keeping you up, and now you can’t help me make plates because you’re too tired” “sam it’s 5am”

YAY ACHIEVEMENT, we have already celebrated, thanks- (I will not get tired of talking about how incredible it is that I am able to do this, although a few years ago I would have rather shot myself)

I don’t like the result anymore, I want to start a new one-- (and I really hope I will do so) Although drawing pictures of this type is too difficult for all our brain systems...okay I give up, it’s difficult for me to write such posts. (I also gave up on the title, as you can see)

And hello to everyone who is still in the fandom~

Anonymous asked:

Hi, the question about MCU Matt’s sunglasses reminded me of something I’ve wondered about occasionally: is there an in universe reason for why comics Matt wears sunglasses?

daresplaining answered:

In-universe, this topic has never been explored in-depth, though there are many hints and it is easy to speculate. (The out-of-universe reasoning, of course, is that dark glasses are a common shorthand for indicating that a character is blind, even though many visually impaired people in real life don't wear them. Often, those who do do so because their eyes are sensitive to light.)

In Daredevil volume 4 #14, when Matt fully embraces his public identity and also decides to stop wearing his glasses, he indirectly refers to them as a mask.

Matt: "I disguise myself mostly out of force of habit, Wendell. And now that you mention it...I'm tired of masks." Daredevil vol. 4 #14 by Mark Waid, Chris Samnee, Matthew Wilson, and Joe Caramagna

This suggests that he uses them to shield a part of himself. Just as his Daredevil mask hides his identity, his dark glasses hide something that he doesn't necessarily want other people to see. The intensity of the accident that took his sight would suggest that his eyes would look quite damaged, and most Daredevil artists at least provide an indication of cataracts. Hiding his eyes could be a decision based in self-consciousness-- that Matt thinks the sight of them will make people uncomfortable. It could also be a part of trying to assert control in his life by being very intentional about how the rest of the world sees him. As a lawyer, visual presentation is important, and Matt is very good at putting up a front; he wears nice suits, he is clean-shaven, and his hair is neat. And he wears dark glasses so juries and clients can't see a messier, more "flawed" (if you will) part of himself. Matt is also someone who lives immersed in half-truths and has been hiding parts of himself his entire life. He isn't someone naturally inclined to bare his whole self to the world at any given time, and in that context, using the "mask" of dark glasses to hide a very vulnerable part of himself feels like a very natural strand within that web of secret-keeping.

My feeling is that it's a little bit of all of this.

#very good post op though i wanted to note something as someone who's visually impaired#i'm doing it in the tags though i don't want to make this the Point of the post#a lot of us blind vi lowvis folks are encouraged to wear tinted at best opaque/reflective at worst glasses#not just because of possible disfigurement (which funnily enough no one talks about ever they're just like Oh It's Weird and Unpleasant)#(as if that's a normal thing to say about anyone's body)#but because people find unsettling both the lack of eye contact + the wandering eye contact + the accurate eye contact + ANY eye contact#from someone they think cannot see them in whatever way they think we can't see them#ultimately it grows into a mask both for the wearer and the sighted people#a comfortable distance between the things we believe to be true about the world and the actual reality of them#i think matt uses this distance for his benefit -- as someone who is known to use external perceptions of him to his advantage#but also as someone who has trouble reconciling the parts of himself he views as flaws as well as his virtues#he cannot fuck up or he can do no wrong but it's always filtered through a lens of alienation#his body is not his and his actions are not his (from @binomech)
