😌 Butcher pulls Homelander down to sit on his lap

☆ Send me Prompts ☆

He hated it here. He hated being so high in the air, he hated how much fucking 'natural sunlight' this shitty penthouse got, he hated the way he had to deal with Homelander's anxious pacing fits at three in the fucking morning. How the fuck did he end up here? Was he really so awful that this was his penance? Butcher knew that God guy was a right foul cunt.

"It's- it's socialism! That's what it is!" Homelander hissed, pacing the length of the living den with one hand on his hip and the other raised in the air. "Our- my company is run by, by, by a bunch of, of fucking imbecils. Because they 'bought stock', and they have to be 'consulted'." The supe made a show of making air quotes, his face an unattractive scowl. "What the fuck do they know? Okay, I made this company. I don't- I don't have to fucking answer to them, I'm the fucking Homelander."

"You killed a guy in broad daylight, love." Butcher sighed, arms sprawled along the back of the couch as he rubbed weary eyes.

Now Homelander stopped, looking at Butcher with that intense look that could either mean he was planning to kill him or he was undressing him. It was hard to tell these days. "Make it go away."

"Mmm, not me area of expertise."

"Then make it yours. I- I don't know! Dig up something bad on him, plant- I don't fucking know- temp-V on him or something. Just help me fucking fix it."

Butcher offered nothing, just watched him under a heavy brow, lips pressed into so tight a line, one couldn't see it under the beard. Exasperated, Homelander moved to stalk past him and leave the room, but Butcher's hand closed around his wrist and stopped him. Before either could speak, Butcher jerked him down into his lap, and Homelander went with surprising ease. He was caught off guard, he'd later say, that was all.

Another low hum, as Butcher examined Homelander's perfect fucking face. He raised his hand to draw rough fingers along rounded cheeks and a sharp jaw line, then he rumbled, "Say please, an' maybe I'll thinks abou' it."

Me: I hate all superhero movies/shows that boil down to 'it's Superman but an Asshole' they al-

Megamind 2010: all?

Me: oh no not you, you're perfect.

#superman #clark kent #megamind #metroman #megamind 2010 #comics #dc comics #`if i was superman id use my powers to enslave humanity' yeah but superman wouldn't YOU would because apparently you're a horrible person #metro man #roxanne ritchi #like metro man is superman if he was forced to be a hero from a young age and became dissolutioned with it #and megamind is Superman if he looked alien and didnt land in a nice place to grow up. #they both go through the motions of hero and villain because thats what's expected of them. in the end they realize thats not what they wan #metro man stepped down and megamind stepped into his shoes to defeat the villain (even if its of his own creation) #how did DreamWorks do this? eveyone does `Superman but.... wait for it! EVIL` but they did it so much better like neiter metroman or #megamind was really evil. megamind was a nusence at best. even durimg his dictator era the city was still ok. a fire truck in a wall and #spray paint. some thievery one guy got cubed. blew up the museum. etc but he could have done worse. he wasnt truly evil just mad scientist #the real evil was the 'nice guy' who got powers and automatically used them to to an actual dictator when the girl he liked rejected him

hi

jason wasn't close to many other heroes before he died, and most of the ones he was close with told stories about him as a cautionary tale. he became a story filled with half-truths about his life that was passed down to new heroes to tell them about the dangers of being a hero. bruce and dick knew him best but they're emotionally closed off and don't know how to talk about the good things. even cass only knew him as the robin that died for years.

do you think that there are people that didnt think he was real? new heroes that didnt know a lot about batman and robin hearing that there was a robin before the current one that was killed, and they just assume its a made-up story to scare them? when batman and robin became an urban legend, jason did too. he stops being a hero that wanted the best for the people he loved, and instead became a horror story about what happens when you don't listen.

#jason todd #dc #especially because of the 'batman is an urban legend' retcon!!!!!! #batman became an urban legend and jason became a fable #how many heroes just didnt think he was real ?!?!?!?! #anyways. how are you guys doing today

mob psycho 100 has impressed me on multiple counts but one thing that keeps standing out to me is the way Mob fills the role of Shonen Hero.

I love me a classic shonen protag. I love the hinata shoyos and the ash ketchums and the gokus, the spunky go-getters who are a little rough around the edges but want to be The Best at the Thing, or Save the World, or Win the Championship. I also love the protags who are reluctantly shoved into the role of Hero and must stumble their way into accepting it, whether or not they actually wanted it at first.

Mob isn't any of those. he doesn't start out as a bundle of boundless energy and optimism. his goal is not to be a hero or to subvert the trope by Resisting the Call. in fact, in the beginning, there isn't a Call. there is no Grand Quest for him to set out on. he's just... a kid, who happens to have psychic powers, and his goal is just to figure out who he is and what he wants and where his place is in the world. that's his hero's journey, really.

Mob doesn't come prepackaged with ambition; he has to work to unearth it. he has to figure out that he has any agency in the first place, and then use that agency to figure out what he wants. he has to handpick his own goals, and he has to choose growth. and he does choose growth, over and over. that in itself is a heroic feat. man, there are whole adults who won't do the internal work this kid does to figure himself out and adapt to new information! we constantly see him meet people who act and think so differently from him, and really think about the things they say and do, and learn something valuable in the process. we continually see him waking up to various aspects of himself, and clarifying his convictions, and adapting the ways he moves through the world, and taking on a more solid shape as a person. we continually see him choosing.

his growth is so organic, and natural, and marked by an increasing sense of self-possession, that by the time he gets to do Big Impressive Heroic Shonen Things, it feels earned. Mob Shigeo Kageyama has come into himself, and he must face some truly terrifying things, but he reaches out to meet them with both hands because he's already learned to meet his own personal challenges and the people in his life in the same way.

Mob doesn't start out as a Shonen Hero, but by the end of season 2 he IS one, because he earned it. he chose it, worked for it, grew into it, and it looks incredible on him.

#mp100 #i love this show so much you guys. i actually teared up a little writing this #i think about mob and i feel a genuine swell of pride. like buddy he's not real. but his chara development speaks to me #as someone who has struggled over the years to feel like i have agency. struggled to figure out what i want. and struggled w/ repression #mob speaks to me. and makes me feel like i can do it. #and isn't that the whole point?? of a good shonen hero?? to inspire?? to help us wake up to ourselves and feel like we can do it?? #may 2024

Wei Wuxian really got an arrow shot in between two of his lungs ribs, pulled it out, and then tossed it back and fucking killed the guy who shot him - If that's not fucking terrifying (and more than a little awe-inspiring) I don't know what is.

#wei wuxian #mdzs #back on my wei wuxian simping hours again #which is all hours #though it is honestly intriguing how the guy who shot him is portrayed as young and unskilled and essentially naive- #likely with not the slightest clue as to the real situations surrounding wwx #and didn't see beyond the ruthless picture the jins painted of wwx #probably just wants to be hero or smth like that #listen kids #this is why you don't go to war without enough information #especially not against a man who has a very bloody history considering sunshot campaign #smh #you try to shoot a guy in the heart during a brewing conflict and you expect everything to go well?

You know what I'm impressed by? Corypheus picking up a modern language the very moment he returned to the living. Imagine how badly things would have gone for him if he wasn't a linguistic genius.

And yes, that is aurebesh.

Homelander getting extremely frustrated while learning a new skill (butchlander) Please and thank you!!

☆ Send me Prompts ☆

"This is!" Homelander grit his teeth, hands on his hips as he gave that quick little shake of his head. "Fucking stupid, William, I'm not doing this."

"Why?" Butcher drawled as he loaded a clip into the handgun and double checked the safety before setting it on the table. He had to admit, this wasn't how he expected to spend his last few months of living, but it beat sitting at home getting shitfaced by noon. "America's poster boy ain' never shot a gun before'? Well, that's not very American, now is it?"

"I don't fucking need to! It's- it's a tool. It's a fucking... cop out for." He kept shaking his head, floundering to justify something that didn't really need to be, but Butcher was amused. "Weak people."

"An' how well you think you're gonna fare when someone comes round and takes those special lit'le powers of yours?" Butcher set about prepping a second gun, having half a mind to fuck it up so Homelander would look even more like a jackoff.

Silence, the blond haired supe narrowing his eyes. "That's impossible."

A shrug, Butcher still focused on his task. "If a drug gave ya powers, there's gotta be one tha' can take 'em."

Again, that fitful little shake of his head, but this time Homelander added a pointed finger. "No. No, no, no. I'd know if Vought was making it- I am Vought."

Butcher finally looked up, circling around the table to offer Homelander the gun with a smirk. "Didn' say Vought was the one makin' it."

"What do you know?" And for a shining moment, Butcher saw that fear again. The sharks were circling Homelander, it was only a matter of time before they finally went in for the kill. Homelander knew it, Butcher knew it. When Butcher didn't respond, Homelander tried again. "William, what do you know?"

"I know enough." He pushed the gun into captain cunt's hands and stepped aside. "Had ta give ya a reason not to shoot me now, didn' I? If you can beat me in a lit'le friendly match, maybe I'll tells ya."

"No you fucking won't." But he took the gun and looked for a target.

Butcher smirked. "No, I won't."

2 major factions in chaldea: the 14 yr old heroic spirits who think adults crushing on the mc is creepy vs the 18+ heroic spirits who think the bbys crushing on the mc is creepy. theres a third who thought they were there to save humanity but no one listens to them

more legitimately this is probably so making kintoki step in even if you play as the male mc makes sense but it does make it weird if you think about the fact ritsuka's been there for ~7 years and is still underage. were they hired at age 11.

#but for real can we at least let them be an adult now. just have them not like alcohol it isnt hard #it also makes all the adult heros who flirt w them creepy if they ARE a minor tbh #but its so lame. can we get middle aged ritsuka already #my post #fgo #intoki is so sweet tho. hed probabaly step in even if you were an adult guy who needed help. hes like that

[adelinamoteru]

I have truly never seen so much discourse for a hero/anti-hero that kills until I started liking jason todd. I have literally never seen so many people get hate for not condemning a fictional character who kills bad guys until now its shocking! and I mean that literally

maybe I’m the one missing something but there are plenty of heroes (not antiheroes but HEROES) who exist that choose a lethal method and people take that in stride? the only way I can make sense of this is that people are so attached to batman and his mythos; they literally imprint on him and his thinking ?? and now any slight against him or challenge against his righteousness is taken as if its a slight against them.

at the end of the day, to me, you can still support jason being lethal because the fictional characters hes killing aren’t actually dead. in this sense, specifically, I don’t see why real life morals should be applied to a comic world. he’s not killing out of bigotry and if he was, I would get the controversy! but if you can agree with brutally beating and invasions of privacy in the dcu because it’s “morally correct” within the universe, I can’t see an argument against jason’s methods being morally wrong as valid unless those views are applied to every aspect of batman comics. if we did that, then everyone who continued reading these comics would be getting the same treatment jason todd fans do. ​you cannot hold one character accountable to real life moral views and not the other(s)!

#jason todd #dcu #jason todd meta #batman #dc meta #am I making any sense bc tbh I am writing this while permed and words sometimes don’t make sense to me then #let jason todd kill ! let him fuck up every villian that he meets ! no one thinks universe proclaimed villians dying are the same as killing #ppl in real life I promise u! #I just want to enjoy my anti hero crime lord vigilante in peace #you have arkham ASYLUM btw that is canonically a revolving door bc how else can we make money from the story if they stayed in ‘jail’ #and villains canonically proven to kill for the laughs or the drama or the fun of it and feel no remorse #and ur coming at me and talking about the death penalty being wrong in relation to this universe ? #WHAT ABOUT THIS UNIVERSE REMOTELY SEEMS LIKE ITS CLOSE TO REALITY #I think this controversy would benefit from ppl who dislike jason seeing jason as the ‘lesser evil’ instead of just ‘evil’ bc then that #would be so much more interesting ! he’s still a bad guy and u can still dislike him but at least for good reasons

My roommate is fighting with her boyfriend but I just keep thinking about having the police called at your wedding because you and the groom are having some, major break-up worthy fight and are throwing cake and champagne glasses at each other... but the closest officer is technically a pro-hero (Kirishima? Bakugo? Both?) who shows up expecting a criminal rather than a would-be bride sobbing in their arms

#'i just wanted to be happy' mascara all smeared cake all over your hair and dress #and suddenly they arent a hero just a guy wiping your face clean in the church's bathroom #and it feels a little too holy to be real #esp when the groom comes a knocking and has to deal with a protective pro hero who just wants you to stop crying #and tbh? thinks you were right for starting a fight #anyway my poor roommate but her boyfriend is a loser #shii posts #gen

Worm Arc 15 interludes thoughts

Carol interlude:

Holy shit you really were just a fucking TERRIBLE mother!

Like I get it, you had lots of horrible childhood trauma. And you didn't want to adopt Amy and let yourself get bullied into it by your sister. But that doesn't give you an excuse for how you treated both your kids.

Got to see another trigger event!! Fuck yes. Give me more. I want to see more details on those higher dimensional beings.

Fucking hell seeing Marquis's powers in play is pretty crazy. Dangerous boy.

Carol was just going to full blown stab right through that closet door without even looking inside! She almost killed a child! God damn.

“No.  He’s just my daddy.  Reads me bedtime stories, makes me dinner, and tells me jokes.  I love him more than anything else in the world.  You can’t take him away from me.  You can’t!” Fucking ooof that's a line.

No seriously though this can't be the first time there has been a young child of a cape that needed to be adopted because their parent was arrested or killed. Is there really no system in place for this? Cause Amy should not be going with Carol.

Just the way through most of the present sections of the interlude that Carol thinks about her daughter and Amy. Not her daughters. And this was before she knew anything about what Amy had done. Terrible mother.

HOLY SHIT AMY OH MY GOD YOU MADE IT EVEN WORSE! And I thought flesh coffin Victoria was bad! FUCK!

Vic is going to need lots of therapy.

Fucking Carol basically deciding Amy is her daughter now only because she doesn't want to think about Victoria being her daughter. Damn. Bad mother.

And Amy is in the birdcage (Hellfire playing in my head the entire damn time I'm reading this part). I'd be rather terrified to see what she becomes except no one ever gets out of the birdcage so obviously there is no worries. She is never going to be an issues. (I shouldn't need the /s but just to be safe.)

Brian interlude:

Not much to say here, most of my thoughts on this relationship was said in my last post.

I do always love seeing Taylor from the PoV of someone else. Just shows how fucking badass she is. And kinda terrifying.

"She conveyed an eerie kind of confidence that he knew she didn’t have at her core." This is just incorrect bud. When she isn't thinking about how she is portraying herself she conveys the confidence she does have at her core. The stuff she hides from herself.

Alexandria interlude:

DATES! DATA! LORE! AHHHHHHH!!!!

Date of first Endbringer attack!!!!! Strong estimation of the number of capes in August 1986! Knowledge that Cauldron was working in 1986! Their "success" rate at the time that I can compare to now! (Success in quotes cause I don't personally think tentacles is a failure. I want to meet tentacle lady.)

Obviously I'm not a big fan of any of the Cauldron people on the surface. But I think I like Contessa within those boundaries. I technically have no idea what she can do but I'm almost positive she is some type of precog. And I kind of ship her and Alexandria.

Behemoth is fucking scary. Just light people on fire from the inside, shoot lightning. Full energy manipulation. Damn.

Alexandria is the head of the PRT! Damn! (I assume at least.)

I want to know more about the Terminus project!

And Coil is a product of Cauldron! But he doesn't know it (supposedly). Damn. They list him as an alternate to the Protectorate which is very interesting. I'm super curious what Cauldron's goal with the Protectorate was and how Coil can do the same.

Fucking Alexandria just going and grabbing people to be experimented on and it's "ok" cause they were dying. Holy shit! She even manages to make the comparison to her chemo treatment and still does it! Fuck lady. You can justify anything.

Triumph interlude:

See? Triumph is fine! So Skitter didn't do anything wrong.

Triumph is Cauldron created too. Cause he was only good enough at baseball for the minor league but not the majors. God damn fucking privileged ass rich white boy. And he describes it as a traumatic thing! God. At least later he does kinda call out that he got stuff from having a rich dad with connections.

Assault seems to be doing great! Sure was a good idea to let him join the Protectorate just cause he wanted to be a creep to this one girl. Turns out when that girl is gone he doesn't have any motivations to be a "good guy". Great decision Legend.

Robot daughter! Good to see you again! And you built yourself a bio body! Or a head at least. Still, fun!

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Defiant.

Definitely isn't Polearm McGee! Nope! Absolutely a different person. That also likes really long pointy sticks.

I am glad Frank Miller's Armsmaster was able to remove the restrictions on robot daughters code. She deserves freedom. Pretty much served his purpose now and she basically just keeps him around to humor him. "Oh yes I need Defiant to help me, even though I built his suit and could just control it directly myself."

Seven Dragon suits in Brockton Bay huh? I'm sure that won't result in anything next arc. What with Dragon specifically on the lookout for Taylor and Taylor planning on going with her dad to the town hall on the election.

Triumph gives in to the weight of not speaking up about Defiant being Armsmaster but then he gets mad at Prism for not speaking up! My dude! You didn't speak up, you can't be mad at her for the same thing!

Fucking LOVED the ending of this interlude, and thus this arc, though. Absolutely perfect. Just with the inherent comparison of Defiant to Mannequin, especially considering Colin called Mannequin a "monster" in his interlude and said "I'm nothing like you!" And then Triumph thinking how he could see the reason for every step Colin made and could see himself justifying each one. And the previous chapter had Taylor dealing with how far she had let herself go. All that and then ending this chapter with Triumph staring at the bodies of Crawler and Mannequin (finally confirmed dead) and the line "Maybe it was to find some clue, some sign he could watch out for, that would let him identify the monsters from the men."

Just fucking. So good. I think it's my favorite quotable arc ending so far. I might like Arc 11's ending more (it's close) but not in quotable way. "All lies" at the end of Arc 14 is a close second, but I like this one more.

#Worm #Worm Web Serial #Parahumans #Cairavende reads Worm #Carol Dallon #Creepy Crawlies #Alexandria #Cauldron #Triumph #Dragon #Frank Miller's Armsmaster #For real though I kinda want to write up an essay on the “identify monsters from the men” bit.
