Jessica: It must really suck to have to be you all the time
Matt: Well, it hasn't been a picnic, honestly
Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones THE DEFENDERS | 1.03 “Worst Behavior”
Am I the only one who thinks the Defenders was Danny Rand’s redemption? The show did everything that his own show didn’t. It actually called him out on his bullshit and how his problems don’t compare to the others, it actually gave him a personality to contrast with the other characters. It showed him actually progress with his personality and we actually see the “Danny-has-no-ambitions-or-true-goals” problem that we had in the Iron Fist show become a plot-point and have him find a goal, protecting the city.
Defenders Theory
What if Matt actually was killed when the building went down? What if Elektra's Black Sky powers saved her and let her escape with his body? What if she got some of the dragon bones and used it to resurrect Matt from the dead? What if Matt's now as insane as she was when she was resurrected? What if he can't properly remember his life with Foggy and Karen and the others? What if he's going to be the villain of Daredevil season 3?
hi i saw you're kinda taking requests and u like making hc's for characters so i was wondering,,,, could u write a headcannon about what you think jessica jones would be like if someone was all shy around her? like crushing on her or something 😩😩 if u ever wanna talk about headcannons just send me a message tho i love to talk about those!!
a/n: Thanks for the request, honestly had writers block and couldn’t finish the other hc I was writing. I still kinda suck at writing it’s been so long, so leave feedback
I didn’t proof read because I have to leave for a dentist appointment so sorry if there are any typos
warnings/ drinking (very brief)
I feel like since growing up she didn’t have many friends (other than Trish) so you would have met at Luke’s Bar
It probably took a while for her to open up to you and vice versa (for different reasons)
The more you got to know her the more you started crushing, like hard
She would notice early about the way you started acting around her and how it changed
She would have caught on quick as to why you started acting a bit different
You were still the same personality-wise, but you were acting differently around her than you used to
When you two would hang out she would say things to make you flustered, but she wouldn’t make it too obvious so you wouldn't notice what she was doing
She would feel the same way about you, as you do her, but she didn’t show it as much
I mean she would show it, just in the way of lightly teasing you and trying to get under your skin (NOT IN A BAD WAY!), but again wouldn’t make it too obvious
She honestly loves the way you would react
And she likes to do it more when you’re in a group with others
I feel like it would be a drunk confession from your end
You both went to drink at Luke’s that night and you got a bit more drunk (like a lot) than you initially planned
She didn’t want you taking a cab home so she let you crash at her apartment
She helped you out of your clothes and help you put on something of hers and let you sleep in her bed
You’re just rambling about something while she’s helping you
She has some work to catch up on as she would like everyday, but you wouldn’t want her to leave and it didn’t take much convincing to get her to stay
She did leave for a minute to get her computer so she could work while next to you
When she got back you rolled over and laid your head on her stomach
That made it difficult for her to work but she wasn’t really set on doing it anyways
You were having a conversation with her half asleep and you may or may not have let it slip that you liked her
You were just thanking her for taking care of you and you kept talking about how much you appreciated her
You appreciated her and she knew that, but you have never really expressed it in the way you were now
It didn’t exactly catch her off guard when you slipped in that you really like her, she already knew you liked her, but just the way you were being so affectionate with her at that moment
Neither of you really were with each other
Here and there, but never really like this
While you were falling asleep she played with your hair and combing her fingers through it
a/n: ok sorry the end is kinda shit i have a dentist appointment to leave for, but yeah i felt like i lost the actual plot a bit? i don’t know but hope you enjoyed it!
also leave requests because I enjoy writing them
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?

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.
