the way frenchie and kimiko are just living their happy married life while the rest of the gang loses their minds

listen limoreu i’m BEGGING

I’ll be thinking about this picture for weeks

LOOK I KNOW ITS WRONG BUT I WANT NEXT

me on my first pass watching The Boys: wow i hate homelander so much and what i hate even more, even though it’s genius, is the infuriating way you kind of root for him to get his shit together in season 2. its a testament to the writing to get you to care about morally reprehensible characters just to see where their lives go! but i wont do it again though, its not going to happen again.

me, watching season 2 for the second time, already feeling it happening again: no no NO NO NO NO

My toxic trait is that while I wouldn’t want Homelander to kill anyone for me, if he did I’d be kind of flattered.

rewatching The Boys to get ready for s3 and having gotten back into SPN in the meantime, I’m enjoying it even more the second time round. very interesting to see how Kripke’s developed as a writer / showrunner and the themes & ideas he’s still returning to in his work (masculinity and esp the violence of American masculinity; men going on revenge quests to get justice for their murdered girlfriends / wives; a drug that can give ppl superpowers but maybe at the cost of their souls, and it’s being given to babies as part of a larger manipulative plot; parents doing fucked up things to their kids & the horrors of child abuse and child soldiers).

there’s also the character types that appear in both SPN and the Boys. Hughie is the most obvious one, very much echoing Sam: a kind young man who gets drawn into a secret world after his girlfriend is murdered and one half of the audience’s way into the show (the other being Annie on the supe side). I’ve seen mention of Butcher as a twisted version of Dean, and while there are similarities (abusive father, their use of humor, Butcher as the older brother to a sensitive younger brother who died tragically & sent him down a darker path), my thoughts on rewatch were that Butcher fits particularly well into John’s character type: a man driven to violent revenge after his wife is killed, and who can’t let go of that mission even if it harms his friends, their families, and himself.

Trying to finish my rewatch of The Boys before Season 3. I’m on season 2 seeing Homelander with the milk has me like….

Then it has me like…

I mean seriously it is freaky! Can’t wait to see how they up his milk obsession in season 3

Also I am not into the whole shipping thing. But watching The Boys I can’t help but to ship Hughie & Annie(Starlight) as well as Frenchie & Kimiko. Both pairs are sweet and cute together. Of course I am not going to go crazy over it. Just saying they are cute together. Anyway so ready for season 3!!

boy prince has to learn to do the dishes

Star Wars has three types of guy: Fump Geezgo from the Womflee system, Stabba Badguyman, and Chris

I can’t believe I went through all of Season 2 assuming Nina was the stand-in for Crowley when you actually pay attention it’s so CLEAR that she’s Aziraphale. I was tricked by her spiky, sarcastic, cynical outer shell and lulled into a false sense of security by Maggie’s bubbly optimism and wholesome goodness, because on the surface they reflect the ineffable husbands perfectly, in their personalities, their aesthetics, even many of their actions and morals. but not, and this is the real key, when it comes to their “relationship”. but those first impressions really had me damn fooled. 

I missed the blatantness of Nina’s “we’re just friends. actually we’re not friends. we barely know each other.” the same thing Aziraphale said in season 1.  the way he still struggles to quantify their friendship when Nina asks. Nina’s sarcasm when Crowley asks about rain and awnings because it worked for him (we all know it LMAO). hell, that whole convo the girls have in the rain is so AziraCrow (“I know. I’m not your type” “...You have no idea” hits so much harder the second time, help meeeee.) “Lindsay” maybe being symbolic of Heaven and Aziraphale’s toxic relationship with them and their abuse? (the handwritten text messages in red pen make me think of angry notes on paperwork, anyone else?) because Crowley has never actually cared about what Hell thinks of him, just not getting into trouble (or him or Aziraphale getting hurt). Maggie is always chasing Nina. NINA NEVER GOES IN THE RECORD STORE. Just like Crowley always goes to the bookstore, to Aziraphale, Zira NEVER WENT TO THE FLAT (apart from The Swap but that doesn’t count imo). Crowley has always chased Zira, not the other way around. Always there to rescue him, always going to him for company, always relying on their shared connection, always US. OUR SIDE. All through season one, he comes to Zira every time to work together, never trying to work alongside Hell in any way that isn’t to save their skins or Earth, while Zira hides things from Crowley because he STILL thinks Heaven is ultimately good and will do the right thing if he can just show them. fix it from the inside. 

Maggie working up the courage to finally say something, to put herself out there, while Nina is utterly oblivious and then when she does realise Maggie has feelings, becoming standoffish, putting up that barrier, fighting it, denying it, ITS SO CROWLEY AND AZIRAPHALE IN THAT ORDER. the way I was fooled into thinking Nina’s trust issues are Crowley because he does have trust issues ofc he does BUT Crowley has ALWAYS TRUSTED AZIRAPHALE. has always relied on him. has always been hurt when Aziraphale doesn’t immediately reciprocate the way he expects (the holy water request, the bandstand, the “off in the stars” etc). he’s always the one putting himself forward. Aziraphale has always been the one to second guess everything, to fight their connection, their similarities, their friendship. the girls really made me think it was going to be okay when they sat Crowley down, even as my inner sirens were going haywire about Metatron interfering, they were telling Crowley he just needs to open up and it’ll all work out BUT HE’S ALREADY AT THAT POINT. he may not say it, and by gosh is that part of their damn problem, but he’s always SHOWN IT. he’s not Nina who needs time to heal and recover from her broken trust, he’s always been Maggie believing it doesn’t matter, they’ll end up together in the end anyway AND I WALKED RIGHT INTO THE TRAP THAT THIS MEANT THEY WERE GOING TO BE OKAYYYYYYYYYYY

hughie going from criminal to starlight’s trophy wife in s3 is by far one of my favorite things in the boys

Why does he look like Kurt Hummel here

this line fucking hit. but it's true.

queer people for years, centuries, have been oppressed for being their most authentic selves, by the people who call themselves heroes and us the monsters, even nowadays with the most recent law for allowing discrimination against queer people in America. They call themselves the good guys, the saviours, the ones completely in the right and justified for hating against people just trying to live their lives. And apparently we're supposed to be the bad guys in this story.

i'm so glad that this movie came out when it did, the world really needs it.
