Intro?

Hiiii my name is chai, I'm 20 years old and I really like a lot of stuff. including art which is what I will post a lot on this blog.

Interests include: FHFIF, Invincible, The Boys, the 2000s, Dungeon Meshi, supernatrual, and whole bunch more stuff. (I'm a multifandom blog if you couldn't tell)

yeah :p

John Gilman is fine for comic Homelander whatever but consider.

John Doe. For show Homelander.

(Also unrelated but bi homelander in the comics is fine but in the show it doesn’t make much sense other than him “coming out” for attention lol this is coming from a bi person btw as much as I would love canon bi show homelander I thing story wise it wouldn’t make much sense)

[chaimeu]

Homelander being bi in the show would actually make sense depending how they wrote it. Creating an arc about internalized homophobia for him and forcing Maeve out of the closet as a result of projecting his own insecurities about his own sexuality would make for great commentary about how differently a woman coming out would be treated versus a man coming out. There's just so much potential in making Maeve and homelander commentary about intersectionality and how differently queer men and queer women are treated in the entertainment industry. Since Maeves branding is girl power and homelanders branding appeals to traditional hypermasculinity, Maeve being queer would just be an extension of her already feminist girl power image while homelander being queer would be a disaster for his brand and audience. Which is why he specifically has to hide it.

OOO I LOVE THIS

however I don’t believe it’s something the show would entertain, neither are most headcanons but I’m trying to be as in-character(therefore as in-writer which is a term I’m using now ig)and I don’t think that’s something that would happen. And also, I truly can’t see bi homelander as anything but a ooc headcanon. Not that headcanons are bad lol I’m all for them I’m just trying to be in character. But if I’m being indulgent. BI HOMELANDER FOR THE WIN

[chaimeu]

Yeah unfortunately, Ig with how the show wanted to go they wanted to make homelander the ultimate privileged straight cis white male patriarch with no sort of nuance of him secretly not evenly fitting into those standards as well. (Mainly because they wanted him to be a Donald Trump parody/mirror) but it actually would've made homelanders character more fleshed out. But considering how the show already in later seasons was very surface level with actual deep social and political issues/commentary and also considering how much of a bias the show (and kripke himself with the way he carried queerness on supernatrual) has against male queerness treating it as a grotesque joke at times I just don't think the writers and showrunners have enough of the skill or muscle to actually handle that arc with any nuance or real maturity as appropriately as they should. They just would've made homelander another Disney villian esque character where his queerness is part of his villiany/evilness and not part of the human/empathetic parts of his character. So as much id want it in the show, there's a part of me glad it wasn't there.

I am still a little sad that we will presumably never get a supe rights storyline worth its money because we're in the political arc now.

It's no coincidence to me that the most fervent fighters in Homelander's army are also those most victimised by Vought and humanity personally: Sam, Cate, the people from Sage Grove, Sage, formerly Vic in a way.

The "good supes" are the ones who accept the abuse from humans graciously and consistently say it is their responsibility to help them. And now don't get me wrong here, of course I am not excusing the shitty things many of the supes do or try and excuse the political takeover, or the presumable oppression and possible human genocide that is going to come in Gen V S2 and The Boys S5.

But I do take issue with the black-and-white thinking of "supes are stronger than humans, therefore they are the oppressor class" because humans made them, willingly gave them that power as literal newborns that could not consent to this treatment, and then refused to give them human rights and paraded them around like they're not real people with complex feelings and needs.

TL;DR: "Might the objectification, legalised torture, lack of public representation, lifelong corporate drug dependency, and inability to hold public office have radicalised parts of the population? No, they're just born power-hungry and unhinged."

[deliciouskeys]

I feel like they were at least alluding to it by having Bob Singer threaten to not only ban supes from the military but public office as well — while juxtaposing Victoria’s storyline of being closeted and working hard for years (even as her adoptive father clearly exploited her).

It seems impossible to write this in one season and not be implying some level of moral gray about some supes’ mission to gain agency.

But the problem of a show being written by different writers or at least helmed by different writers in different episodes, is that there’s no coordination of themes, and sometimes outright contradictory messages about what’s laudable, what’s reprehensible, and what’s somewhere in between. All we can do is hope they plotted out a coherent stance on the supes rights thing for s5.

[chaimeu]

I feel like this is a disingenuous way of reading the ending. Butcher was not made out or implied to be a hero of some sorts. To me, butcher was made out to be a man losing himself and his own humanity. Becca representing his humanity and Joe representing his cruelty and bigotry he was raised in or grew from. I don't think he's gonna be "true hero". He's always been shown to have homelanders genocidal ideology but towards supes instead of humans.

"Hello, my name is Majed, 18 years old from Gaza. I was injured in a previous war on Gaza, my right hand was amputated. I challenged my injury and tried to continue my life normally. I finished my high school studies with good grades, but because of the genocidal war on Gaza, I was prevented from joining university. I had dreams and ambitions to study photography, but I was deprived of all of that because of the genocidal war on Gaza. I was living the best days of my youth. But with the beginning of this war, I became unable to live my normal life. At least our warm house sheltered me and my family until it was bombed for the first time, on that damned night. Our house became like a ghost town. We continued to seek refuge from death there until we were besieged and displaced from our safety under fire to a tent (shelter) in the bitter cold of winter, with the lack of basic necessities of life (water pollution, high cost of living, illness, insect infestation,

No one wants to leave the country they grew up in, but news like this shows how difficult it is to live in Gaza with homes, schools and hospitals destroyed.

So I hope you can help me evacuate my family from Gaza so that my father can get treatment abroad. I beg everyone who sees this to either donate or participate so that we can get out of this nightmare.
