28 STAB WOUNDS
I was thinking about the Boys recently, and how it does a really good job of showing how god awful society can be and the way in which they mock the right wing for their actions. It's a show that personally I really enjoy.
The problem is, the right wing don't understand satire and that this show isn't for them. And, personally, I feel it has emboldened a lot of people to act even more like dicks to others.
I've had conversations with people who don't realise Homelander isn't a hero. They can't understand why people don't like Homelander because he 'cares about America.' Not understanding that the only person he cares about is himself. The only thing he cares about is power, absolute power. He wants to take over America and make it in his own image.
He is a literal Nazi who was in cahoots with a literal Nazi (Stormfront).
But the right don't get this. They don't understand that the show is mocking them by showing how the undying love for Homelander, and the cult of personality, mimics the undying love that many of them have for Donald Trump and MAGA.
And this is ultimately the problem.
They seem to think this show is a how to guide for the right wing, when actually it's a 'this is what the world is coming to and it's scary.'
Whilst I love the Boys, I'm glad it's ending with Season 5. It will be interesting to see how the justify some of the things such as the concentration camps in the show.
Whilst Soldier Boy was an ass as well, worst thing they ever did was stop him from killing Homelander and his son.
It is lovely that China and America can agree on one thing.
The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF
Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid
Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship
Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for
The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining
The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read
It’s THAT simple
I'm replaying the game and there's such a neat little detail I haven't noticed before - all three characters have a chance to look into mirror in their introductory chapters - prior deviancy.
Kara and Markus don't react.
But!
Connor does.
Vain little motherfucker (affectionate).
This literally got my blood fucking pumping ohhh my god
This is essentially the fic "Accident Prone" I've been reading. Basically, every single chapter so far is Connor getting hurt, and Hank getting high blood pressure from these situations
every other hank & connor fanfic is just this
my dream as a fanfic writer is for one day, one of my fics to be someones comfort fic. like the fic that they reread when they don't feel good and want to be happy. i want my words to comfort someone one day
