I finished first season of The Boys... This is the the aftermath.

My greatest apologies to everyone whose eyes were hurt.

If you actually liked that feeling (who am I to judge?) there's more fish boy memes under the cut

shhh he is thinking his deep thoughts

I'm allowed to have one (1) problematic fave... I whisper to myself as I add yet another unhinged historical figure to my evergrowing collection

This dude was SO aware of what he was doing the entire time. there’s no way he was locked in alpha wolf instinct state like the masked man was, this bitch REMEMBERS

“Silco loves Jinx” and “Silco’s relationship with Jinx is unhealthy and manipulative” are both true statements.

The thing is, Silco doesn’t manipulate Jinx for the weapon and her explosives like some fandom thinks he does. 

Silco manipulates Jinx because he loves her in his own twisted way but after Vander’s betrayal he’s terrified of getting hurt and being left alone again. So he resorts to some pretty twisted and extreme behaviours to keep his daughter with him.

So he convinces Jinx that it’s them against the world, everyone betrays them. There’s an extent to which Silco genuinely believes this, but he’s also desperate to keep Jinx close to him because who else does he have? Jinx is all his family and the only real emotional connection he has.

His love for Jinx is genuine but it’s equally fucked up. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Characters are fascinating, but I think the relationships between characters are even more so. In LONG LIVE EVIL Rae walks into her favourite book series and meets her favourite character of all time, the ruthless future Emperor. As far as Rae’s concerned, she’s so excited! As far as King Octavian is concerned, Lady Rahela, evil as she is beautiful (thank you @vkelleyart!), is behaving VERY strangely.

All know I’m a fandom lass, and I was also inspired by writing tie-ins with fandoms which I needed to study and learn about—and grow to love. There are so many different types of love and types of art motivated by love, whether it’s y/n romances, meta, or lurking to consume any content of your favourite.

With this book I wanted to ask: What does it mean to love a fictional character? Why do we love the characters we love? What would they think of us? How would you change their character by being part of the story - and we love fictional characters differently than we love people. How real is it? Real enough?

and of course, if you’d like to preorder with art…

I love you irredeemable villains

I love you ugly villains impossible to sexualize

I love you villains who don't give a fuck about anyone else

I love you villains who has a good childhood

I love you villains who are capitalist

I love you lil jack horner

I love problematic horrific villains who disregard others for the sake of money, because they are the most true to life of all villains

We don't all have tragic backstories sometimes people just suck

Kid Me watching that Lego Batman 2 film and seeing Joker: Huh. This guys fun.

Kid Me watching Batman 89: Oh you're a great bad guy!

Kid Me playing Lego Batman 3 and seeing Joker again: Hello my goofy fella.

Kid Me watching Batman Beyond Return of the Joker, hearing Mark Hamil's voice for the first time, and witnessing THAT horrific scene: ...This surely won't affect me later on, right?

Kid Me after watching BTAS for the first time: Oh no. He's amazing and fckin' awful.

Teenage Me after reading The Killing Joke & going through the Arkham games: OH NO HE'S AWFUL-

Teenage Me after seeing the Lego Batman movie: ...Why does he seem like a pissed off ex?

Teenage Me after actually seeing The Dark Knight: OH HE'S ACTUALLY ENJOYABLE, WTF-

Teenage me after seeing Joker 2019: Huh... unique, but not my Joker 100%.

Me months before the pandemic: Eh, I've kinda outgrown Jonkler.

Me after rewatching B:TAS once in a blue moon, and Gotham during the pandemic: No I fcking haven't outgrown Jonkler, but I have common sense to say he's not that amazing.

Me @ Kefka, Hisoka, Dimentio, etc during all of this: You're gud.

Me after watching The Batman (2022) and seeing the Joker deleted scene: ...I'm interested.

Me in 2023: I respect the bisexual clown with the fashion sense of a 1940's supervillain a LOT, but he's not at the top of my personal blorbos.

Me in mid 2024 with a purple tux in my home: Still not at the top of my blorbos...

Joker fckin' getting the last laugh as I put him above fcking SAURON, GANON, SEPHIROTH, BEATRICE, AND BILL CIPHER:

Me:
