matt actually gets incredibly giggly when he’s been drinking, and becomes fairly talkative as well. he’s a big fan of craft beers - loving to pick out the individual flavours and notes that each beer has. surprisingly enough, he’s also quite the lightweight.
☻ Mood headcanon
moody matt can be calmed down by taking in a good book. audiobooks are a favourite, because he can lay or sit still and just listen to the story, using his mind to craft the visuals as described by the narrator.
in addition to audiobooks, matt loves the old radio shows from the pre-tv years.
✿ Happiness headcanon
as cheesy as it sounds, and as much as its something he’ll rarely admit to, something that makes matt incredibly happy is someone describes the way a sunrise or sunset looks, or describes the way a colour makes them feel.
“ flirting? i have, and while i don’t have a ninety-eight percent success rate like you do, i do have a high one. “
he grins at the pat on his shoulder and stands up to take two beers from the refrigerator with well-practised ease. this, of course, isn’t the first time they’ve drank together in matt’s apartment. he returns, handing matt one. “ aww, you got the nice kind. for me? you shouldn’t have. “
“ its been a long time since i’ve seen you in action, mr nelson. other than some of your more… embarrassing moments with karen.
”
the two of them drinking together was just like old times.
like college, where they’d spend the night throwing back
beer and talking about women and law, putting off studying
(more so in foggy’s case). he tilts the bottle that foggy hands
him in a toast, smirking as he does so.
“
i figured one of
these days you’d be the one needing to patch me up. might
as well say thank you somehow.

anyone could tell you that zatanna zatara was a hopeless romantic. yes, she flirts with guys ( and girls ) in bars, and she most definitely has more one night stands then relationships but underneath the natural flirt —— she is a sucker for love. she’s the type of girl to watch the NOTEBOOK and want someone to look at her like noah looks at allie, or to see elderly couples and have her poor heart fly out of her chest. but even as she wants all of those things, she has to face the reality that she’s going to be stuck flirting and hooking up until she gets lucky. and she’s fine with that. but she doesn’t want to be like that forever.
❛ mm, good. you’re my type of guy then. ❜ gentle fingers curl over his hand and she can’t help the infectious smile that spreads over her face, ducking her head slightly. she feels warm with her fingers touching his skin, but she’s pretty sure that’s her blush. ❛ well, i have a feeling it is with you. it’s too bad not a lot of other guys think like you. ❜ her fingers brush against his palm as they let go and she holds her arm out, starting to walk when he has a good grip on her elbow. ❛ gotham can be a dangerous place. i know how to hold my own. but —– i won’t complain much if you decide to be my knight in shining armor. ❜ she let’s out a gentle laugh, a grin curling around her lips. yeah sure, she is nothing like a damsel in distress, but she can humor the thought.
the concept of settling down wasn’t something on the agenda for matt murdock any time soon. to be fair, it hadn’t ever even come close to being scheduled on the weekly timetable, let alone the overall plan, and particularly now with his…nighttime avenues - he didn’t have the time or ability to commit to anyone. for now, short-led romances were his thing, if he felt inclined to pursue one at all. today, things were looking rather appealing. he had to let loose sometime, right?
"your type of guy, hmm?
“
the smile in her voice lights up his face again. her blush, the flushing of her skin as her heart beats erratically - it appeals to him, knowing he has this effect on her, and despite his best efforts to keep it under wraps his own skin flushes a shade of scarlet.
" no guarantees, but i’ll do what i can.
”
he walks with her out of the office, locking the door behind him, and soon enough they’re on the streets of hell’s kitchen.
“
so – where to first miss zatara? there’s nothing overly fancy out here but, we hold our own.

So yesterday I was putting up a 100 followers flash giveaway and today I have to make a god damn bias list because I’ve now hit over 200 followers! Holy shit guys. I never thought I’d get this amount of support and attention but Jesus Christ it makes me glad that I went ahead and said screw it and made this blog live. Thank you for everyone who is here and has been here through both mine and Jessica’s shit and continue to be here. If I miss anyone on this list, it’s because I clearly suck. But ANYWAY, here is everyone that has made this Tumblr experience the best one I’ve had in a long time.
you know, she hadn’t planned on flirting with him when she first initially agreed to come to HELL’S KITCHEN. zatanna doesn’t plan doing most things, especially when it concerns flirting. she’s just glad that it isn’t one-sided. even if it had been, she’d be okay with that too. while there is many that have admitted being ATTRACTED to her, she doesn’t expect everyone to fall into a love spell with her. —– it would do wonders to her ego, but she really doesn’t need everyone in the universe to fall in love with her.
her gaze follows his hand as it disappears briefly into his hair, teeth capturing between her two sets of teeth. she almost becomes so enticed with that one movement of his that she almost misses what he says to her. ❛ i try to keep a positive outlook on everything. it makes life easier. ❜ she comments, a smile catching at the corner of her mouth. ❛ great. i was going to offer you room service from my hotel room, but i figured that was a bit too forward. aw —– do you treat all girls like that? ❜ zatanna teases him, her smile growing wider by the second. she almost gets up before he holds out a hand to her, perking up a brow before she takes it. ❛ ever the GENTLEMEN. … but yes, we shall. ❜
the trick to flirting was that it was never planned. that was one thing matt had learned long ago, and one thing that he had kept up with over time; think about it ahead of the game, and things were bound to get awkward. fly by the seat of your pants? good to go. it wasn’t like he needed a copious quantity of thought to appeal himself to women; it was just something that came naturally (much to foggy’s disappointment and jealousy). he certainly wasn’t the type to fall in love [had he ever actually been in love? ], but the here and in between seemed to be his forte.
“ i’m a start with drinks and see where it goes kinda guy, ”
he teases, smile brimming as she takes his hand. her skin is soft, her hands warm, an ELECTRICITY pulsing through her touch that is completely foreign to him. now that is something he’ll need to explore further.
“
chivalry is alive and well, i’d like to think. ”
he squeezes her hand lightly before letting it go, taking the crook of her elbow as a guide instead and motioning at the door.
“
hell’s kitchen can be a dangerous place. i’ll make sure your safe,
”
he squeezes her arm gently, almost making a joke at his own expense – but in reality, he was more than capable of handling anything that came their way.
