What’s this? Yet another broody, dark haired, cocky man in desperate need of therapy? Well don’t mind if I do!!!!
I know folks mostly know me for Star Wars art but like… I can’t recommend ‘The Boys’ enough. Both for the satire on American consumer culture and the man angst. But fair warning, it’s… a lot.
ughhh the derek fic is sooo cute and i love it i think you did an incredible job giving him a more complex personality than just a douchebag we see in the movies and it makes me so soft for him 🥹
Derek Danforth is a complicated character
Or at least, that's how I see him.
• He has a weird/strained relationship with his mom, and his dad is dead. (And it's implied his mom doesn't like him, "God I wish he was alive so I could kill him" or something.)
• But even so, he claims the reason he started his little scam operation in the first place was to help her win the election. (Which is probably partially true, he started it to help her, then kept it going because he liked the money/power/thrill of his little crime empire.)
• And even in the movie?? He's not a COMPLETE douche. I'm probably reading too much into things, but there's this short scene where he bumps into his mother's assistant and says sorry and moves out of her way
• Just before that he was flirting with this other lady (in a totally stupid way... offering her crypto?? seriously??) but even then he wasn't saying or doing anything rude. He was just being dorky.
• He's likely been under a lot of pressure his whole life to keep up a good image, considering he was born wealthy. And it probably got worse once his mom started pursuing a political career, since he couldn't jeopardize her reputation.
• And finally, Josh Hutcherson said one of the notes he got from his director (like, instructions, guidance, something to keep in mind while acting out a scene) was "Just remember that all of us just want to be loved and we can only ask for that with the tools that we're given."
• I'm not saying he's innocent and growing up as a troubled little rich boy was sooo hard that I don't blame him for turning to crime. These things aren't an excuse for his actions, but an explanation. He was definitely in the wrong, but he isn't some stereotypical comic book villain either. He isn't evil.
ANYWAYS sorry for writing you a whole ass essay when I should be writing fanfic, you just got me thinking. At the end of the day Derek Danforth is a bad guy, yes, but he's also just a dorky little mama's boy.
OH HOW I WISH TO SIT ON HIS LAP AND YAP MY HEART OUT WHILE HE JS PLAYS W MY HAIR😞🙏 A KISS HERE AND THERE GRGRGRGRGRGRRR
UGH SND TALKING AB AN ITEM AND THE NEXT TIME HE GOES OUT HE COMES BACK W IT JS BC HE REMEMBERED 😕😕
THE MOMMY!SUGU AGENDA IS REAL FOREVER AND ALWAYS…… anon we’re holding hands. you get it. he is so gentle and attentive and eager to pamper you 😔😔
AND HIS LAP!! yes…. personally i think he would let you rest your head on his lap and lull you to sleep with his silky voice but that’s just me. little kisses here and there 🥺 so true… he can’t help himself……. and he would be suchhh a good listener. the Best. he LOVES when you yap to him it’s canon to me!!!!
AND HIM COMING BACK WITH THE GIFTTTT HE’S SO……. :((((( he’s just so effortlessly perfect. pays attention to every little thing you say. remembers all the little things you tell him about yourself. the caretaker of all time.
This scene has always been funny to me cause Betty wasn’t only fantasizing about Armando finding her attractive but ALSO Mario, LMAOO my girl is so real for that
this just in: the gamers are upping their fight club game. Daisy figured out if she snags her claws on Gus’s collar that it gets a good hold on him without hurting him (and therefore causing the fight game to end early) but also these are quick release collars so sometimes she grabs his collar and it just falls the fuck off and she gets SO MAD
Gonna be entirely honest from what ive heard abt New Soupernatural it honestly feels very unfitting for Dean to go around actually saving his mom. Like. Im SORRY to say it but the way John raised Dean and how John shaped him to be Sams Protector to be There For Sammy to raise him with the burden of "you may have to kill him for me, Dean. You're going to need to watch Sam and I need you to promise me you'll shoot him if he goes south" is really fucking integral to why Dean is Dean.
YES, we see Dean multiple times wanting a white picket fence life. We know he doesn't want to hunt. But for him to completely rewrite time. Alter a timeline feels. So disingenuous to who his character was.
Dean didn't deserve to die how he did, but what he's doing in Heaven is no better. Deans story should have ended differently yes, but not how it's going in The New Show
