Buck getting to kiss Tommy again and being able to savour it nore because now he knows it's coming. Buck feeling Tommys stubble, his big hands framing his face, his muscular chest against his own etc.

Dare i say homelander's character always was kind of heartbreaking but after this episode I just- i don't think i have the words to properly describe my thought process but i'll try.

He's not just a whumpee turned whumper.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, right? Well that's it, until it's not just this.

Ever since he was born he's been nothing but feared, often even revered: not really like a god, at least not in a christian way, more like a lovecraftian abomination. He has never known humanity.

I repeat:

He has never known humanity.

When that scientist (Barbara) tells him his need for love and approval is too deep and too human for him to ever get rid of it he softly replies that oh well then it's good he's not human. And I mean, he isn't completely wrong is he? You cannot place the shackles of divinity upon a child and expect them not to succumb to the burden of your lowly, human, fearful gaze. How can we ever dare to demand him not to feel superior to anyone else when the first notion to be drilled in his head was that he's too powerful to be loved. Or at least to be only loved. Love tainted by fear is not what he's seeked all those years, even if he may not realize it. He craves approval, he craves genuine affection, to hold the gaze of another without seeing that glint of terror creeping out to meet his eyes, because it's always there. Even the most devoted hometeamer knows, deep inside their head, that Homelander's very nature demands they fear him. Sure they think it's just the respect they owe him for protecting them or whatever, but it really isn't. It's just the natural, human reaction to something that looks human but really is so far above human that you can't help but tremble. A weird kind of uncanny valley.

And so here he is. A god. In a horrific way yes, but still a god, and to try and mix - taint - his divinity with human wants? That's blasphemy. The mortals that tortured him when he was but a child, that shaped him into this wretched being yearning for satisfaction (such an alien concept, so beyond his reach) now must pay.

Humiliation of the flesh follows, because mere humans can't withstand what he was put throught, and as they die like flies he forgives them. Their sins have been forgiven. They have reached atonement not much in death but in the ways they died. In the tortures they put him throught.

Homelander is a "god born of man" and to free himself of the taint of humanity (and so mortality, which is his greatest fear) he needs to destroy his creators.

Anticlimatic, I know, but tragic nonetheless.

The paradigm has been flipped:

"God creates man, man destroys God" has now been reversed.

His yearning for love, his human neediness, has been shattered when he freed himself from his wretched notion of humanity.

Humans created him and made him of divine nature, then dared to call themselves his equals, then they brutalized his body to study its strenght and test its limits. How arrogant of them, to presume there'd be limits to such a thing.

In the end of this deeply nonsensical yapping i think homelander is truly cursed to never be happy, because he will always be in a cage and can only choose which one. He can accept his humanity (and the schackles that comes with it) and the inherent weakness of it, but that will never make him happy: he's too convinced he's a god, he believes in his own myth, his only religion (he is after all the only man in the sky).

Or, he can trascend humanity and become the fearful entity he was always destined to be, without human needs of love or approval he can be the ultimate arbiter of the planet. But that too comes with schackles, i'm afraid.

How could a divine being, basically a god, ever achieve satisfaction? Happiness? These are human matters. To give up humanity he has to give up on these goals too.

Hanahaki can be a real tricky trope and I don't like how its usually implemented especially if it's like 'of someone doesn't return ur feelings you'll DIE' like that's. Gross to me but oughgh it can be so so fun too

i <3 queernormative settings reblog if you love queernormative settings

[wewere-here]

did you use man behind the slaughter for the edit audios?

Yup! The Traveler edit I just posted uses the song “It’s Been So Long”, aka man behind the slaughter :D

Honestly, I thought It’s Been So Long would fit the concept of Traveler mourning being unable to save Wanderlust from Night Swan after the events of Dance With The Swan, knowing it’s his fault she’s here in the first place

like,,, imagine the GUILT he must feel. omg.

I tried to get into Higurashi years ago, but couldn’t get past the very slow start. I gave it another try yesterday by way of Rose Matter’s visual novel playthroughs, and once you get past the very early 2000s anime slice of life stuff? The small-town murder mystery with a possibly/probably supernatural cause? It’s good stuff. I LOVE horror that’s very connected to a physical location, the culture and the history and the very land itself, so I’m eating this shit up.

I just wish you didn’t have to sit through ages of these kids playing cards or whatever to get to the good stuff. I’m not invested in these children, I just wanna know about the grisly murders that were possibly caused by a vengeful god.

I got to hang out with friends at a pep band performance today. It's like midnight and I'm kinda tired so here's a pic a took during a break

[moudeux]

What do we do now? I love you, but I’m not myself.

[neverendingparable]

In a less salty way of putting it: interacting with characters is the best way to get to know them and getting to know the chemistry your muses will have.

It's one of the reasons I'm against pre-established relationships, especially with new partners because I can't actually predict how close our muses could be.

Everyone puts a lot of thought (and love) behind their OCs and its rewarding for both parties to work for that lore.
