#Becca noir

[rarelydrawnbeccanoir]

so what was your work like back on derse?

you respond, a little wobbly, your work back on derse, it was mostly just paperwork, there was only one or two times where the sovereign threw you a bone and gave you something FUN to do.

it was just day in, write, review, analyze, write, eat, review bureaucratic documents, look through fenestrated windows to keep tabs on the session, analyze THAT, write those stupid notes down, day out repeat.

But heeey at least you're no longer in that boring, snail trudging through mollases job, as you take another swig of the spiked punch, drinking away the stress. You feel like you might be able to get used to this carefree feeling.

You nod, clutching your head as you look around, noting that she appeared to start hissing at one of the asks, blushing at some of the ones before that, but you're more focussed on the one that made her hiss.

May I ask which ask exactly is irritating you, Is it something stupid, or something that would be actively malicious?

You tilt your head as you look curiously at the troll, concerned for them.

You wake up with a hell of hangover, your head is Pounding, like someone is taking a sledgehammer to your brain...

Why... ah right the punch was spiked wasn't it, that's why I have this stupid hangover, it feels like my head is going to burst...

You notice you're sitting on neeppi's lap, and get up faster then a lightning bolt dashing to a lightning rod, while also putting the hat back on, thankful the costume you got didnt look so silly.

How long were you awake by chance... Hopefully I didnt force you to stay in that seat for too long.

My Peak TV Journey *Gen V*/*The Boys*

My goal of writing about every show that I watch slows down how frequently I get to shows, but not enough to ever really catch up. My backlog on shows to write about include ones where I have barely any notes and those where I have a fair number of notes, but not in any order.  This post combines one of each. I barely wrote about Gen V while watching, thinking I would be able to catch up on it while writing about The Boys. But that involved thesis in which I no longer believed by the end of the season.

This is the second time I’ve told myself that I wouldn’t watch a spin off of The Boys, then binged it before the new season started. I’ve always felt like The Boys shouldn’t have an extended universe, that it would dilute the potency of its corporate satire. But I watched Gen V , partially because I heard events in it would affect the new season, and also because with multiple years between seasons three and four I thought it would be good way to catch up/refresh. Gen V is a look at the world of The Boys from the point of view of people who had never seen The Boys, the CIA team takes with taking down Vought’s out of control superheroes. The characters are not directly part of the machine that keeps the Vought Industries world spinning. The lead characters on Gen V are likable in their naïveté. They bring a renewed sense of tragedy while The Boys is at risk of numbing with all the horrible things that have happened over the years. Everyone in Gen V comes from a very understandable place, and it’s centered on its female and non binary characters while The Boys tends to leaves them underwritten. The idea that I thought I’d be writing about was how the Best Intentions of characters on Gen V played with the Bad Choices available to characters on The Boys made an interesting contrast illuminating the moral reality of their shared universe. I came out of the season thinking that while Gen V humanized characters from The Boys, The Boys flattened characters from Gen V. 

I went into the season watching more of The Boys bonus web material than I ever indulged in before. And I enjoyed it. The Deep’s Liquid Death commercials are hilarious. It was exciting to hear Andrew Rannels voice “Homelander” for Vought on Ice Christmas number. This was the first time there was more than one year between seasons, and I missed it. Still, I was glad that early on they announced that the fifth season would be its last.

I mention feeling like I could understand where all the Gen V characters were coming from and maybe cheer for them. I frequently see comments about how there is no one to relate to/cheer for on The Boys. To the extent that I cheer for any characters here they are:

Hughie

Annie/Starlight 

MM

Kimiko

Frenchie

Though the order often changes. 

The most recent season had Hughie do something I thought was out of character; blackmailing A Train to get Compound V to save his father’s life. Hughie of all people should know that Compound V has too many dangerous and unpredictable side effects! Four seasons in it feels like Compound V all side effects, nothing worth while. When used on his father it leads to Hugh Sr not having control over his body and killing some people.  It was an awful thing to do, and undermined the pain  of loosing a parent. I think the purpose of this plot was to even things out between Hughie and A Train, and be part of A Train’s redemption arc. But it was a story that just didn’t work, largely because the mix of extreme violence and lack of consequences for Hughie doing something so dangerous. Later in the season Hughie is sexually assaulted multiple times.This is not played as some kind of karmic punishment for trying to save his Dad and killing multiple people as a side effect. That never brought up again, the assaults are played for laughs. The show-runner’s comments make one wonder if they were considered such by the people making the show.

I was surprised that Huggies and Annie had reconciled and became a couple again between seasons. I like them as a couple, but I their third season break up should have lasted a little longer. There were real issues that should have been explored without the pressure of being in a relationship.

The season suffered from stories that felt like retreads only with fewer consequences. A Train’s redemption arc was surprisingly effective, but Frenchie got bogged down by his past and spends too much of his screen time estranged from Kimiko. I found an article from Collider about how counter productive this was. Weirdly for the first part of the season they acted like Frenchie and Kimiko weren’t romantically interested in each other. We all saw that musical fantasy number last season! This came off like dropping a thread of viewer interest while not really doing anything to made up for it.

You may have noticed that my list of characters that I care about does not include Billy Butcher, arguably the main character and definitely the one featured most heavily in advertising. I’ve long found Karl Urban an engaging actor, but Billy is generally too cruel to his teammates to cheer for. (This is especially true in his relationship with MM, who is so undermined it goes from painful to numbing.) Since Becca died, Butcher hasn’t had any thing positive towards which to strive. It makes a certain amount of sense that after season three’s Temp V abuse he’s  dying.  But two whole seasons of his decline is a lot. This past season he had a former co worker, Kessler, appear and offered advice to bring down Homelander, and also undermine MM’s leadership. His late wife  Becca also appeared in visions to make more humane suggestions. They are respectfully the Devil and Angel on Butcher’s shoulders. When it turns out that Kessler, like Becca is a hallucination it’s not really a surprise. The reveal that Butcher now has monster limbs that he used while blacked out as a side effect of his Temp V abuse was  surprise. This started with him killing a character named Ezekiel. Ezekiel was not a memorable character. I forgot about him as soon as soon as he died. Shame that his death is important to plot.

Speaking of unmemorable characters dying violent deaths, I had trouble telling Adam (the film director) and Cameron (the news anchor) apart. Right before Cameron was beaten to death I realized I never really cared about them as individuals. They both looked sort of similar, even if Cameron regularly dressed more formally. I think they both had sex with Ashley, right? 

Speaking of Ashley’s sexual exploits, I think I have to get more into Hughie’s assaults to wrap up the two series’s seasons. The first of these occurred while on a reconnaissance mission at billionaire Tek Knight’s place. Tek Knight was introduced on Gen V. While we did learn that his super power was heightened sensitivities making him able to detect people’s secrets. He uses this poweer to confront people  in front of a camera for his tabloid TV show. We also learned that he had some kind of brain tumor that may be related to his depraved compulsion to shove his penis in everything. His name reminded me of the pompous idiot news anchor from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and I had to look him up to confirm my suspicions. “Tek Knight”, sounds like Ted Knight who played Ted Baxter. See the tradition of media satire? The brain tumor part isn’t mentioned in The Boys, but it does mark him for death here. If Gen V set him up for development, The Boys shuts it down. We learn that he is from generational wealth, that his ancestors owned slaves and he and his family is currently heavily invested private prisons. The Boys makes clear in a shallow way that Tek Knight is its version of Batman. (So the name is also a combination of Detective Comics and The Dark Knight.) Things get really explicit about this as his death becomes inevitable this becomes more explicit. His version of Tobin and Alfred are involved and they hate him. (I haven’t read the comics, I don’t know if he was in it or how he was portrayed there.) For this plot Hughie is disguised as WebWeaver, (the never before mentioned Spider-Man of the universe), not knowing that has an arrangement where he is tied up and being tied up for sexual abuse by Tek, Ashley and some of their friends. The scenes are played for comedy, but was mostly too mean to be funny. Later, on Reddit I came across a thread where people said they felt this was so nasty that it made them think the producers hated the actor. I don’t think that. I mostly think they weren’t interested in exploring him, or Annie as individual, active people. 

Huggie’s other assaults take place when Annie is kidnapped and replaced by a superhero who can replace their flesh with that looking like whomever they recently touched. This is where the second assaults take place as fake Annie has sex with Hughie multiple times in the week or so that real Annie is captured. Erin Moriarity did a real tour de force acting these two rolls, creating distinct personalities that played off each other in interesting ways. The Double relished the aspects of Annie’s self loathing she learned about through her mimicking powers. Earlier in the season this aspect was hinted at in her confrontations with Firecracker. The two of them competed on the same pageant circuits. Firecracker blames Annie for her lack of success there through sabotage and Annie is genuinely ashamed of her behavior there. (I like the actress, Valorie Curry, but Firecracker never really becomes more than the new generation of Stormfront. She’s less sexually interested in Homelander, but that doesn’t make the ways she plays Mommy to him less perverse.) Elsewhere The Deep and the new Black Noir invading the Boys’s Flat Iron headquarters and during the confrontation told Annie that he refused to recognize his assault of her in the first episode as such.  The confrontation with a doppelgänger saying all the nasty things she’s repressing is a long time coming. It makes her slightly more proactive than Hughie, but only slightly.

Sister Sage, played by Susan Heyward, was the most interesting new character in the season. She’s introduced as the smartest person in the world, and that brain power is made by a brain that is constantly regenerating its tissue. (This is sort of a theme with The Boys, all superpowers are connected with some kind of body horror.) We learn that this caused some kind of frustration and pain which leads to her periodically self lobotomizing. During the immediate aftermath she treats herself to junk food and sex with The Deep, who is otherwise repeatedly choosing violence this season. I found this aspect of her character kind of endearing. At least, it’s endearing in comparison to being Homelander’s accomplice. We don’t get much of her point of view. She has contempt for the system, illustrated by  an anecdote about having her cure for cancer rejected by her grandmother’s doctors. Later when her plan to destroy the transfer of power to newly elected administration goes through, she says that she did it to see if she could. I hope she survives Homelander, though she would create something that could be more brutal while less bloody. 

(I had the start of a note in here about Stan Edgar. I never finished it and forgot what I was going to say, possibly because he only appeared in one episode this season. I was surprised both that he appeared at all and that it was only for one episode. )

Wrapping things up with the final point about Gen V humanizing characters while The Boys destroys them I am going to discuss Victoria Neuman. I did not think her and Marie Moreau’s power was essentially the same until she showed up on Gen V as Marie’s secret benefactor/potential mentor. And as I really liked Marie, I think some of that wore off on Victoria. When we get back to seeing her on The Boys, we are immediately reminded that she turned her daughter into a murderous monster by injecting her with Compound V. But after spending so much time with Marie and her pain, it felt understandable, if still a terrible idea. Without the crossover I don’t think the Victoria Neuman’s arc would have landed at all. She spent so much of the season doing opportunistic things that felt like they were all in pursuit of power. The comparison with Marie reminded us that it was also out of fear of a traumatic past. So when her daughter ended up in the same situation, it felt like a tragedy, instead of just more pain like so much of the season.

The Boys, choose violence 10, 22, 24 if you please. :D

From the 🔥Choose Violence Ask Game🔥

Thank you, @kosmochlor, for the Ask! Ahh, and I see we’re going straight for the jugular!! 🔪(⊙v⊙✿) These are just a few personal honest opinions written at 1:40AM. What I think does not apply to everyone. ♥️

10. worst part of fanon

Keyboard warriors. The morality police clutching their pearls. You know who I’m referring to; we always have them in every fandom. The ones who police who/ what you like and are obnoxiously loud about it and about how the characters or ships you find interesting are problematic and, lookie here, my [insert character they’d fixated on] never did anything wrong compared to your rancid skrunkly blorbo and I wish more fans liked my favorite character than [insert popularly liked character]. On the converse of that, I’m on two fences when it comes to Homelander stans. Thankfully most people are rational and like him because he’s an interesting villain (and, let’s be real, it’s powered by a side of fan thirst for the actor who plays him; it’s the typical parasocial relationship that fans develop with the celebs who play our favs/ or it’s just plain interest in the fictional character itself or the fun thought of that fictional fav being railed or doing the railing)—but I do have to raise an eyebrow when he is being stanned for all the wrong reasons (coughfascistallegorycough coughMAGAallegorycough coughSigmamalecough).

It’s a very interesting outlook to have as someone who isn’t as into Homelander as other people but still goes out of my way to read and write stories of him being shipped with his enemy Billy Butcher (listen, I’m your average law-abiding 28 y/o woman who works M-Sat 9AM-5:30PM and sometimes even Sundays and even overtime; sometimes on my limited free time I just wanna indulge and imagine about what it’d take to save the metaphorical world in this fictional universe—aka by having the two toxic old men f*ck each other and they can be two co-dependent psychos in love terrorizing the world together as a shameless power couple in a perpetual Ouroboros cycle of love and hate and self-punishment; obviously I do not condone this kind of relationship irl but within the safety of my imagination, we writers be playing god. It’s fairly obvious both characters are fated to have a bad ending in the show, especially if they follow in the footsteps of comic canon for a bittersweet ending, so let me have fun on my very limited free time writing my alternative Butchlander takes about these manipulative assh0les obsessing over each other and the fate of the world depending on how successful they are at gaslighting each other into playing a permanent happy couple).

22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

Homelander is canonically bi in the comics. No, I’m serious.

(Spoiler alert: for those without context, in the comics, Soldier Boy was not Homelander’s father. In the comics, male Stormfront was one of the Supes whose DNA was reused by Vought to create new and stronger versions of the source material, so his DNA resulted in baby!HL’s creation no, comic HL did not f*ck male Stormfront; in a way, HL is kinda a partial clone of comic!SF. Whereas in the show, Soldier Boy was changed to be a super straight (?) alpha male granny f*cker who was later revealed in the season to be the sperm donor for Homelander. And Stormfront, as we know, was genderswapped in the show and changed to be Homelander’s girlfriend in S3. …There’s no confirmed Sweet Home Alabama vibes yet as of 2023 but there is understandably fan speculation for a reason.)

I believe the best way to put it: Homelander is generally attracted to women, but in later issues he reveals that he has a secret liking to men. Because he’s The Homelander; he can do whatever the f*ck he wants.

And let’s not forget this beautiful iconic scene the TV adaptation gifted to us:

Now some personal opinion time: I also like the idea of him being a narcissist so he only truly loves himself. And others can come close (especially if he sees aspects of himself in them) but his One True Love will always be himself. It’s the classic Narcissus looking at his mirror reflection allegory—but now you mix it in with some complicated cocktail of a God complex, inferiority complex, imposter syndrome, self-hatred, and sociopathy or psychopathy and a hidden desire of wanting to fit in with the banal societal human norms of being accepted but always feeling left out on the other side of the glass wall looking in. Now you tie it in with him never finding anyone who’s “genuinely loved him” (by his own criteria) and has not regarded him as a monster to be feared. He’s desperate for that human connection, for that elusive “perfect companion” who will understand him and cater to him and put his needs above their own—and to him, finding that proves he’s not a freak of nature. He’s not a monster. He’s not a failed product. He’s not a pathetic excuse of a man that even Soldier Boy didn’t even want as a son. Vogelbaum—and everyone else just doesn’t understand. People love him, right? Vought and Madelyn have indoctrinated him into believing he’s the people’s hero—and how they adore and worship him and want to be him or want to f*ck him. How can he, The Homelander, a superior being with his perfect genetics who’s better, stronger, smarter and more attractive than anyone else (I hope you can tell I’m being heavily sarcastic here), go out on a limb and fail at finding this one intangible thing that ordinary mudpeople or his inferiors can find but he somehow can’t?

24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

It’s almost always political discourse particularly from extremely delusional right-wingers people who have terrible media literacy of what they’re watching versus what might be clear-cut to the rest of us—and discourse of whether or not The Boys (TV) is an objectively good show. All of these tend to go hand-in-hand together. I think what those people fail to realize is: the script is written by Eric Kripke, the showrunner behind the first five seasons of Supernatural—and then you have Stephen Fleet, lead VFX supervisor and show producer, who came out at the age of 43 (🏳️‍🌈). They’re adapting it from an edgy, dark, intentionally offensive-just-for-shock-value comic series written by Garth Ennis, the person behind Preacher and even a bit of the Punisher. The eight-volume comic series, which ran from 2006-2012, is full of racist, sexist, misogynistic, and homophobic elements (to be fair, GE wrote this as an intentionally darker satirical take on the superhero culture—and edgy shock factor is a writer’s strategy to make your work stand out). It was meant as a “dark, satirical commentary about the fictional superheroes—and, to an extent, the real life celebrities—we idolize, and how easily people with such power can abuse their responsibility” (source).

With what the TV showrunners had to work with, with the actual source material being a slog kinda to go through (the comics does have its share of good moments admittedly), as a whole I think it’s pretty impressive they’re able to update things to make modern social commentary which are relevant to us today (now, they can be admittedly a bit on the nose about it; one thing that stuck with me till now is how a writer friend I was watching the show with remarked how they’d thought BnHA did the superhero genre commentary much better) and somehow they were able to make a far superior TV adaptation just by paring down and changing a few things from the comics for the better so far (*knocks on wood 3x*). I will however always side-eye anyone who insist the comics is superior than the TV adaptation and loudly proclaim they won’t watch the show because “look how they massacred [insert comic character]” (now, to be fair, normally I would agree with this take but we’ve established The Boys (TV) is a special case; I would also understand if the comics had been the person’s first exposure and, hence, had become their fixation—but considering its intentionally offensive contents I am quietly side-eyeing them from the sidelines and keeping my mouth shut).

I am not the best at playing canon characters, so bare with me, and give me pointers when I seem like i'm getting a little too ooc for noir

I am not the best at drawing, so drawings of becca noir will likely be quite rare.

I will also be playing becca noir leaning towards apathy of what she's even doing, as this is towards the end of the three years of running from PM, but not far enough to see the cracks or a light at the end of the tunnel.

You simply stare for a moment at the strange girl named roxy, she seems... familiar, but you can't place why, or the strange nameless? guilt, tearing at your heart like a vulture at a carcass... You decide to focus on the words and their far less... distressing connotations.

... That.... I suppose would be a rather accurate description, if, extremely blunt, blunter then a lead pipe ripped out from the wall that's for sure but to be fair, blunt gets the point across in terms of words anyhow ensuring they make their mark, may I ask how you and neeppi are enjoying the event so far, and if there are any interesting activities you think I may enjoy?

You think for a moment, wondering where all the booze is considering how tipsy every appears to be... but see only punch, you decide to cut your losses and use the abilities from the final prototyping to appearify a glass of punch in your hand... albeit a little punch spills away, like your idea of fate as a job to be fulfilled after your conversation with this nepeta. as you placed the punch a little far above the cup, before taking a bit of a drink, nothing major... though it does taste odd for punch.

Jack Quaid was a really nice person on Twitter 😊

Happy Friday!

[squidprinceofwinterfell]

The way that The Boys portrays sex (especially in season 4) is soooo transparently rooted in bad messaging. For such a "liberal" show, it is committed to portraying any sex acts that are considered off the beaten path (fetishes, anal, even casual sex) as something only the depraved, villainous characters would be interested in and it's a clear reflection of their morals.

The Tek Knight dungeon episode alone lampoons BDSM roleplay, tickle fetishes, and food/fart fetishes. They're all shown as either downright laughable, or GROSS and DEPRAVED sex acts that any decent person (in this case, Hughie, the audience stand-in) would be disgusted/appalled by. The poor way the show has dealt with Hughie's repeated sexual assaults this season is another post all by itself.

The villainous shifter character, who has stolen Annie's likeness and identity, brags about doing "butt stuff" with Hughie, which apparently the morally righteous, Christian Annie would never do. Compare that to the Deep, for example, who was so bored by the monogamous relationship with his wife in season 3 that he fucked an octopus. Now he has a casual sexual relationship with Sister Sage, where it's stated multiple times that they do anal. What does it say about people who enjoy anal sex if three antagonists (one of whom has sexually assaulted multiple women and partakes in beastiality) are their only representation? What's next? Are we going to learn that Hughie and Annie only have sex missionary style, in the dark, to show that they're the good guys?

The morally grey/downright bad characters are portrayed as enjoying casual sex, sometimes with multiple partners (Sage with the Deep and New Noir, Ashley with Cameron Coleman and Adam Bourke, the Deep with Sage, Coleman's wife, and his octopus lover, etc). This may not be bad by itself, but when the Boys are all in/were in/want to be in loving, committed relationships (Hughie/Annie, Frenchie/Kimiko, MM/Monique, even Butcher/Becca), it certainly implies there's something bad about casual sex if only the bad guys are doing it. Don't even get me STARTED on Herogasm.

Now, I don't think the show is doing this on purpose necessarily. I think it stems from a combination of things - The Boys has set itself up as a show that is raunchy and shocking, and therefore it must one-up itself every season no matter the cost, and it has a rather juvenile attitude that sex, especially "freaky" sex is always funny.

It's unfortunate that so many people who partake in the fetishes and sexual acts that were skewered on the show felt singled out and made fun of for something that is, frankly, not a big deal and not a reflection on their moral character at all. I hope that going forward, The Boys treats its sex scenes with more care and really considers the message it's inadvertently sending but after this season, I don't have much faith left.

Wait... she was killing him before he entered the session, wouldnt that doom their attempt to create to failure?

Homelander fans who think the show is moving towards depicting him having DID (see poll): are we just talking about having different facets of personality (inner child persona vs external messaging he’s been getting from his faux parents or a self talk coping mechanism) which can be dramatized with a conversation in the mirror?

Or are we talking about actual dissociation, like Norman-Bates-type ‘one alter doesn’t know what crimes the other one is doing while they take over’?

Because if it’s the latter, kind of dreading that Kripke et al have avoided “the Black Noir clone was the one who raped Becca and ate babies” plot point only to start going down the “it was the bad Homelander who raped Becca, not John”. Because beyond the story problems with that, it starts begging the question did Homelander down the mayor of Baltimore’s plane and not John, flight 37, killing Madelyn, killing(maiming?) Blindspot, dating SF, killing supersonic… that all feels like an icky and frankly weird copout to me…

With the season 4 spoilers about another major character having his own Tyler Durden, and how much the Gen V writers like Unreality and Manifested Inner World, I have to say I can see them going further into DID land, and I feel like it could be really bad. Like maybe drop-the-show-before-s5 bad. 😕 But maybe I’m the only one who feels this way lol.
