Bunnie is a versatile couple: when Annie drinks too much, Butcher carries her home bridal style, and when Butcher drinks too much... Annie does the same to him.
I desperately need a scene where Butcher and Annie are silently smoking outside the safehouse late at night and looking at each other with sorrow and longing–
The only reason Annie never slapped or punched Butcher, even when she wanted to, was because she knew he'd enjoy it and would probably get hard. I can't prove it, but I know it's true.
I love how that's completely canon–
Once I saw someone remark Butcher cares for Hughie because he reminds him of Lenny, falls for Maeve because she reminds him of Becca, and absolutely despises Starlight because she reminds him of his younger self.
It makes sense, but it sounds so sad. Billy could never accept Annie because he could never love himself and forgive his former naive hope for justice...
season five finale spoilers!!
This post will be dedicated solely to Butcher and Annie, I'll write a separate post about the finale as a whole later.
So, in the finale... Butcher and Starlight didn't even have time to talk for a second before Billy died, while Homelander offered him a blow job. Literally. Offered. To suck. His dick. I feel like I died after watching the first episode of season five, and this is my own personal hell.
Annie wasn't there for the final battle to help Butcher kill Homelander.
Annie wasn't there to explain to him you can't force a child to love you, but you can be a safe place for the kid (Ryan), be proud of them, and love them nevertheless (especially given her earlier conversation with her own father).
Annie wasn't there to tell him he still had a purpose, because he had her, M.M., and Hughie, and they cared about him very much, even though he was a terrible jerk and they would kick his ass if he tried anything funny (lovingly, not what Hughie did at the end). I know Butcher would have been the best uncle to Annie's baby, suggesting she name the baby William Jr. just to see her roll her eyes and tell him to shut up for the last time on the series.
And also... if Butcher was going to die either way, some stupid, hopeful part of me wanted him to call her 'Annie' onscreen instead of usual 'Starlight' or 'luv'. It was such a crucial detail in Butcher and Starlight's relationship that I actually thought they'd add it into the script, as if Homelander never acknowledged her change and Butcher would only do it once. In their final conversation. Something like, "Take care, Annie," so she'd know it was over. I would have cried so hard.
Please write your opinion on this matter, tell me I'm not alone...
I bet Butcher makes chamomile tea when Annie looks too stressed because he's completely terrible at emotional support lmao
season five finale spoilers!!
Hear me out: After Butcher's death in episode eight, there's a scene where he wakes up in a motel bed because the entire fifth season was a parasite-induced nightmare. Starlight asks what the hell happened in his dreams again, and he, as usual, tells her to fuck off. Then we have a NORMAL final season, which features at least one or two episodes of Billy and Annie driving around America as the most wanted criminals, listening to old rock songs, and planning how to get The Boys out of the freedom camp–
Angsty snippet where Starlight was late and Hughie actually died from Cindy in episode 3; everything here happens around times of episode 4. Also Ryan included because he's Billy and Annie's child I don't care. Maybe I'll make a full work out of it someday, who knows? Enjoy!
P.S. I'm a bit busy lately, so sorry. I work on my fanfiction but I'm not sure when it's gonna be ready :(
Mostly, Butcher's trouble sleeping was due to endless nightmares about his past. Or because of the pain that no pills could numb while he was a walking parasitic hive. However, a few days ago, another reason emerged.
Crying and drunken muttering came from the next room. Every single night. He cursed his superhearing.
Billy had seen Annie only a couple of times since Hughie's death. She slowly made her way to the kitchen to grab what was left in the fridge: cans of beer, leftover takeout, his half-empty bottle of cheap whiskey.
He teased her, as usual, but she just gave him a blank look and walked past as if he were a ghost. Butcher was sure Starlight would bite his head off if he tried to talk to her, but he had to do it anyway.
After the funeral, Frenchie and Kimiko disappeared. No trace—most of their belongings were scattered throughout the safehouse. He was blocked everywhere. M.M. was blocked everywhere. Considering Kimiko always felt comfortable around Annie, she was the only remaining way to contact the lovebirds.
As Billy's hand closed on Annie's doorknob, Marvin grinned mockingly and shouted he hoped Starlight would kill him right there. Butcher probably deserved it.
"Mmgh...Get the fuck out..." She muttered, blinking indifferently at the can of beer.
"'M gonna fuck m'self in a minute, luv." The door closed behind him with a dull thud. "It's a bloody emergency."
"Ah, emergency?" Annie's lips curled into a sarcastic smirk. Right. Like there was any hope Butcher could cheer someone up instead of being practical.
"Frenchie and Kimiko. You know where they are?" He spotted her phone among the trash and tried to pick it up. Annie's eyes glowed, and she grabbed it faster.
"I don't."
He stayed unfazed. "Quit bitching. We need them."
"We? We?!" She stood up unsteadily, pointed at his chest–her nail had dug right into the spot where his tentacles twitched unpleasantly, pressing against his ribs. "Fucking no! It's you! You need Frenchie for fucking virus! Quit acting like we–Like we're in the same boat! I am happy they left, asshole!"
Annie swayed on her feet and Butcher carefully helped her to sit back on the couch. She started sobbing quietly, he sighed. "Don't make me play hot and cold. Y're not a bloody toddler."
"I-I asked not to tell me where they go..." Her voice wavered, tears sliding down her cheeks.
When she reluctantly turned the phone screen towards him, the last message from Kimiko was clearly visible, "Don't worry about us. Take care ❤️"
"See? They're not coming back anyway..."
His hand securely wrapped around her forearm. "Well then we have no fuckin' time to mop. C'mon." He tugged. Annie shook her head. "Starlight. We have work to do. I'm not gonna repeat again."
"Leave me...I'll mess up again..." The phone fell from her hands and landed on crumpled papers—probably some old Vought documents.
"Listen, we have to finish it, no matter if there's six of us or five or fucking three. Arse up or I'll make you–" Her resistance became increasingly irritating; the parasite inside him suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to strangle someone.
"May I come in?" Fuck. Butcher was ready to slap Ryan for his glorious timing.
Starlight nodded, her tear-stained eyes watching the boy's approach with some apprehension.
"Annie, right?" Ryan sat on the other side of her, pushing away the empty beer cans. He completely ignored face of his stepfather screaming 'do not intervene' and pressed his luck. "I'm so sorry for your loss, but... you're drinking heavier than Butcher now. It's bad."
To Billy's surprise, this caught her attention. Slowly, her shoulders slumped, as if some protective part of her body was gradually receding.
"So bad?"
"Yup. And I've seen how much he can–"
"We're not bloody talking about that right now." Another warning gaze. Yet futile.
"Yes we do. I remember once he was properly pissed and tried to go up to the second floor but slipped right on the first step. And then cursed those stairs...For ten minutes straight." The kid chuckled. At the reminder, Billy's right eye felt a phantom bruise and his bearded cheeks dusted pink. He didn't dare to speak up anymore.
The corner of Annie's mouth curled up for a brief moment. "Sounds shitty."
"It was so shitty!" Ryan smiled to her. "We can't have you cursing doors or chairs too, right? Or I'm gonna lose my hope in adults."
Starlight sighed, wiped her tears away. Then nodded. "Yeah. We can't."
...Weirdly, it became the perfect mechanism. Annie no longer had time for drunken sorrows, as she was busy caring for Ryan. And Ryan didn't slip away because he felt responsible for Annie.
Butcher still tossed and turned at the slightest sound, but Starlight seemed calm. She was truly asleep. It felt nice.
Annie while petting Terror: "Yeah, he's old and tired and ill, must be hard watching him this way after you spent so much time together years before..."
Butcher: "Maybe, but I bloody luv him so–"
Annie: "I was talking to Terror."
I'm gonna do more ButchLight as Ryan's stepparents headcanons since who's gonna stop me?
Annie spends several hours trying out a new recipe: gut-healthy vegetable pasta. Butcher calls her to tell instead of coming over to taste her 'vapid vegan bollocks', he took Ryan out for burgers. Starlight, however, doesn't yell into the phone and just calmly eats the dish herself—she is a grown up woman, after all.
...Never ask why one of her frying pans later accidentally deforms into a shape similar to Billy's skull.
vent post. you can easily pass it if you don't wanna see me whining lol
First of all, thanks for ten followers. I love you sweethearts, especially those who leave feedback in the comments. It really helps and motivates me ❤️
So... I'll watch the final episode in the next few days and write about it later, but I'm already feeling a bit sad and upset?
The show is over. Oh my god.
This series has become my hyperfixation since 2024; I rarely get so immersed in something. I could spend hours talking about each character and never get bored, so the thought of the fans moving on terrifies me. I can only pray such precious community stays active for at least a few more months. It's so comfortable I can't–
What comes to ButchLight, oh well. Sorry guys, but I don't believe we'll get another proper Butcher/Annie scene in the finale instead of Butcher/Homelander or Butcher/Hughie or Butcher/M.M. or goddamn Butcher/any male since the showrunners seem to only be interested in mlm couples this season, and it's ridiculous as hell. I don't mean to imply yaoi couples are bad, far from it, I just think it's a little unfair.
The season four finale left me so hopeful Billy and Annie would work together, so did the first episode of season five, just when I thought their storyline would go back, resulted in... Nothing. They barely look at each other. So much will remain unsaid and unresolved between them forever.
Anyway, I hope I'll manage to write a few full ButchLight works in the coming months. And I'll still be posting memes and other snippets about them because I don't care if they're not canon at all. In my head they might be. Stay delulu.
season 5 spoilers!!
In episode seven when Butcher, M.M., Hughie and Annie went spying and split I was literally begging, "Please Butcher and Starlight team, please finally ButchLight moment" AND NO–
Of course, the scene with Butcher and Hughie once again shows that Hughie once again understands Butcher is a bad person and is willing to do anything to achieve his goal. Shocking, isn't it?
I'm so fed up with this shit...If they wanted to continue Annie's storyline and show her as a truly tired and flawed person, this would have been the perfect time to do it, even with this weird bald shapeshifting and mind reading supe (Starlight would probably have PTSD lol) and the whole 'tricking the trickster' part.
Synapse mocks Annie after reading her mind, mentioning her betrayals (her childhood friend she blackmailed for V in season two), her victims (the man she accidentally killed also in season two, when Butcher and she were trying to get the car and save Hughie), and her going against her own kind (supe vs supes). Starlight starts protesting and gradually becomes hysterical since she's clearly on the verge of losing it in the final season, and then the bald freak shapeshifts into Firecracker and declares Misty's lifelong shame and death are only Annie's fault, such a dirty move considering Starlight saw her corpse in the previous episode.
Once Synapse reaches his triumphant moment and raises a knife to kill Annie in her lowest emotional state, he gets brutally murdered by Butcher as he was too busy taunting Starlight to notice Billy was out of control and could use his powers again.
At the end of a scene, Butcher says something like, "Blimey, what a fucking actress. Gonna give it to ya luv, for a moment I thought you actually lost your mind. Bloody natural." And Annie casually wiping away her tears with a poker face because she was JUST ACTING, and it wasn't a real tantrum!
She remembered Butcher himself had told her long ago that it was okay to be bad sometimes, sometimes your goal was worth it, so she didn't care what Synapse was blaming her in.
Also Billy being proud but not showing it.
Stepmother and stepfather of the year
Crying so hard rn why season five is a huge yaoi dump with every mlm ship possible explored but LITERALLY NO YURI SHIP SCENES. NO HET SHIP SCENES.
I'm happy for everyone who loves men kissing men but LET MY GIRLS FLIRT WITH SOMEONE TOO ARGHHH
Just had to do that lol
season 5 spoilers!!
After watching season five so far...If I drank for every plot hole and OOC, I'd have lost my liver by now.
I think all The Boys fanfiction writers need to make a huge work together where they could redo that damn script. Honestly, they'd make these episodes ten times better than the show writers anyway.
Also POOR FRENCHIE....I mean look at plot armor of Hughie!! He was on the brink of death around five times in seven episodes, and someone saved him every fucking time?! And my dear Frenchie died from the very first attempt??? Wtf...
