He died in pain, he died in his stupid super suit, he died as a product, Edgar won, Edgar won, he died alone, no one mourns the wicked, he died weak, he died SCARED, goodness knows the wicked die alone, he died clueless, he die-I’m spiraling.

He is such a little kid :/
It reminded me of scenes from movies when a father walks out the door after arguing with the mom and the kid starts crawling on his dad’s leg just to make him stay. Yea.
Found Homelander’s bathroom layout for you freaklander nerds.
From the beginning of season 5 I felt that Kripke doesn’t understand how serious of a breakdown is Homelander having. And that people watching his show will take it personally. Because yea…TW:
The self-harm? The frustrated little punches? The fucking religious PSYCHOSIS? Do you realize how bad it has to be to experience that? How fucking broken, stressed, desperate? Cutting through the suit/skin that we all agree felt practiced? Aware?
I’m sorry, but I really hated the Madelyn scene. It was important to him and the plot, but I can’t watch it. I can’t watch it knowing that we are having a tender moment then, that will be turned into a joke later or worse—be meaningless in his death. (Because I said it many times, if he dies I think it would make sense to bring this vulnerability back for that moment) and it was meaningless.
His death felt soulless, empty. Ashley suddenly calling him a “unwell man”? Now you say that? Now that you need an excuse, and now that he is dead and won’t threaten you.
If Ashely noticed, so did Edgar. Barbara admitted it too. They did it on purpose. They were aware this was a MENTAL ISSUE. And they did nothing.
Are we ALWAYS just going to keep killing unstable villains? Can we break the cycle? Can we make it tender? Yes, he is unredeemable but he is also the one who suffered to be who he is. It wasn’t a choice, it was expected to happen. What else did Vought think will happen? Why couldn’t we see him kill Edgar before he died? Burn the tower down, his penthouse. Every painting, his father in the pod, the pubs jar, everything. Why couldn’t his death also be the death of what hurt him? A personal manifesto.
Fyi, I am not saying that every person who experiences mental illness has to/wants to relate to Homelander. But this is tumblr, and something pushes each of us to give him a chance in being understood.
Antony Starr’s mannerism killed me. He made himself so small, soft. His mouth did the pout that only a child knows how to do, because with time you learn to control it. The hand movements were so small yet rapid. Not scary at all just…like he wanted to grab someone, find help.
God he was drowning, he acted it out so well. I drowned too. We all did.

So um….its probably being taken apart rn bc he never came back btw
Not like this ever was a home but it was a space that challenged the past. With no doors, no white walls, with faces on the walls. I wonder if he still lives in one of those mirrors…
NO ONE. Not Sage, not Soldier Boy, not Homelander. NO ONE. Expected him to finally get some fatherly love.
Homelander needed to go.
But the baby from the lab, born in spring ‘81, with blonde curls and love for a particular blue blanket who was named John because of Jane Doe maybe deserved a little bit of a chance, even if it was just a minute of being off screen and surrounded by nothing but peace.
