Let them think what they must. I am at last myself.

honestly it seems like what people are struggling to reckon with is that alicent raised aegon and aemond to be Like That and now she is signing their death warrants for being Like That. and i do not agree with this view! alicent did not want to raise those children. she did not want those children at all. those children were conceived through rape and born when she was a child and their father barely remembered their names. how much culpability does she have here? there were a lot of mind-numbingly stupid jokes going around after she spoke to gwayne about how the only child she didn't raise was so normal, haha, when she also raised helaena. wait it's almost like there were other forces at work that socialized aegon and aemond into ruthless men and those very forces allowed her sons to extirpate her power and enact violence upon countless innocent people (including her daughter). did alicent hightower invent the patriarchy yes or no

she is not without fault in how they've turned out and she did set the events of this war into motion. she acknowledges this herself. but she is trying to recover her personhood after realizing that there is no virtue in sacrifice and the rigid ideals of duty she's abided by all her life. and i think this position is hugely sympathetic!

POV: you're watching The Boys Season 4 finale

i can’t stop thinking about how flawlessly Sage ingratiated herself to Homelander without having to parentify herself in any way. she understood from the get-go that being someone he respects is far more valuable to her than being someone who nurtures him, which she had no interest in doing. she shunted that responsibility off onto others who were less consequential to her plans.

she proved herself not only his equal, but a loyal one, something he desperately craves. she pulled through for him despite his transgression against her, something Homelander himself has never done. he’s always had a one strike policy. she absolutely blew his mind and turned him instantly into a hound at her disposal.

those violins that played in the finale always signify some kind of shift in Homelander’s psyche, a shift in control… and this time there was someone else there to pick up those reins and take over.

i’m so fuckin ready for Sage’s phase two
