Homelander is like if oedipus didn’t have a mum

When Billy steps into the Oval Office, Homelander makes that expression. We know the one. The one that screams “you came back for me” or something. It’s an expression that belongs on the face of a yearning maiden. My butchlander-addled brain can’t help but interpret it any other way but there has to be a canon reason why he has that expression on. I checked the finale script for notes and didn’t find anything. It even adds to the delusion because it says that Homelander “..instantly forgets the camera.” What were the notes? What was Ant thinking while shooting? Why did they choose that shot? If there is no other explantion, I’m sticking to the butchlander interpretation thank you.

I think it's 100% fair that even outside of a Butchlander interpretation, it's an expression of relief.

He just lost his son. He realized that nobody will love him, ever. The world has been lost to him. In the moment he loses it on-camera, he knows this is the end. The world will hate him until the day he dies. He is forced to be a loathsome monster now. Ryan won't ever speak to him again. Neither will Soldier Boy, should he ever wake from his pod.

So here's Butcher. The one man who never broke a promise to him. The man who came for him. The man who is thinking of him all the time. The man who has dedicated his life to him in a way that nobody ever could. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.

Butcher has not been indifferent a single day.

Scorched earth is STILL ON. And while Homelander is deluding himself into ignoring what scorched earth even really means (that only one of them will be leaving the White House), he knows one thing: it's the most intimate thing he has to look forward to now.

This one is supposed to be homelander when he's a bit younger because I had a comic idea about it and I wanted to do an unserious cover illustration type thing....

ngl they 100% brought back stormfront stuff in s5 to plug vought rising and i am so fucking mad they took away character development for homelander because of it. nobody even got to know the fucked up shit he went through as a child-- his entire life!!!!! why the fuck did they set up his trauma and not one of his enemies got to hear it and contemplate what that means about why he is the way he is. how interesting would it be to learn how different people react to it? the more optimistic, forgiving types like hughie? starlight? the person who hates him most, who also grew up in an abusive environment which made him cruel: billy?

i am not asking for an entire turn of character upon learning he was severely abused, i am asking for them coming to terms with the fact homelander never had a chance to be anything other than what he is, and how that makes them feel. nobody got to fucking know the hell he went through. that vought is even worse than they thought: they raised a kid in a lab, tortured him, manufactured psychological abuse. was that not relevant at all???? did he not deserve even an inch of sympathy for that? even if he had to be put down?

found this on twt and...

yeah, i'd like more bearlander pls 🖤

[alienguts]

"people are being so unrealistic, homelander would actually kill you"

[kosmochlor]

Stupid way to make the finale better: make Homelander a bigger history nerd. He can't give that fight his all because the Oval Office and the rest of the White House is sacrosanct to him. He's not reacting much to his power loss because he is distracted by the state of the Resolute desk. A British man and a Japanese woman vandalizing the seat of American power distresses Homelander so much that he can hardly think.
