Nygmobblepot Week ➳ Day Three: Au/Crossover

Oswald opens his eyes and all his thoughts dissolve into nothing as, just like that, Ed is back in that nightclub, transfixed, falling all over again into that seductive darkness.

It is all Ed can do to keep breathing. 

(this set is based off of @thelivingfactor beautiful fic)

In-ho’s books.

Does anyone who speaks Korean happen to know what it says on his shelves? This is season 1 episode 2. The time stamp is around 28:45. I’ve managed to work these out:

Fiction

Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger

Basic Writings of Nietzche

Desire and its interpretations by Jacques Lacan

3 Unknown (appear to be fiction, titles are Korean, sit next to Van Gogh)

1 Unknown (first book from left next to Nietzche’s)

Seminar XI: Four Basic Concepts of Psychoanalysis by Jacques Lacan (credit: afterubleedout-blog for finding it)

Visual

Picasso’s Blue and Rose Period

Van Gogh: The Complete Collection

A Claude Monet book (unclear)

Renée Margritte’s Empires of Light (I believe a picture of her paintings is also hanging on his wall)

There is another shelf on the top left with more books but I think it would be virtually impossible to recognize them unless you already knew it by the spines.

THE BOYS 4.01 Department of Dirty Tricks

[thelivingfactor]

As of 4x03, Homelander has canonically known a character has been with Butcher purely by recognising his scent on them not once, but TWICE in this damn show.

This is already unhinged, obsessed behaviour that gets crazier the more you stop to think about it but even better-

Maeve and Butcher had done the nasty when Homelander twigged this. It's very valid that she would smell like him after that, whereas Ryan... Ryan just played foosball with Butcher? He stood vaguely near him in the same room?? Like, what???

Homelander (to my memory) has not done this with anyone else. He's not sniffing out Hughie on Starlight when he suspects her of betraying The Seven. But someone stands within 10 feet of Billy Butcher and he can literally sniff it out like a tracker dog, Butcher is taking acres of free real estate in Homelander's head and it must be driving him crazy, in this essay I will-
