Homesick update! We have officially settled on rewriting chapter 26 and beyond. After a good hiatus and some much needed self-doubt ass-kicking, Irish and I have settled to use the original Homesick writings as a base for a newer, cleaner version. We're also live roleplaying it atm, which means faster chapters! Homesick (the original) was written well over a year ago and since then we've gotten much better at managing a nice flow that reads more as a fic and less as a roleplay. Instead of attempting to frankenstien and save whatever we have, starting fresh seemed like the best way to revisit an old friend while also ensuring the story gets a facelift. I'll be posting more updates on this blog and hope to have chap 25 out soon! Thanks again for everyone's support <3 Read Homesick here ---also- would y'all be interested in before vs after scene rewrites? I'd love to know!

I LOVE Butchlander for this reason. Yaknow Billy Butcher has killed men? And kids? And women alike? Didya know he cheated on said wife during their marriage when he was an alcoholic? Billy Butcher is not the saint y’all want him to be. He’s cold, caculated and will do whatever it takes to get his end result.

Know who else has this mentality…? If ya said Homelander you guessed it!

Some people unfortunately don’t have or don’t utilize their media literacy to understand that these two fictional characters are both horrible (and fictional) people. Their morality has no need for righteousness because these characters are Bad People, through and through.

It rings the same concept as Hannibal x Will, Louis x Lestat or Kylo x Hux.

Deep down you’re too evil for anyone else, so you’re all mine.

If OP can’t enjoy how sexy and dynamic that idea is, I can’t help ‘em.

Anyways, read homesick here cause we addressed the becca situation and WOOF was it tense and delicious.

This Butchlander shit is revolting. One of the characters raped the other character’s wife and these repulsive fujoshis are out here thinking the two characters should have sex. One of those characters should be fed to the wood chipper, actually, not paired off with his rape victim’s husband.

Stop reading Yaoi, you fucking degenerates.

Parenting 101 by Vanshound - A Review

Parenting 101 is easily the best comic I have picked up in a very long time. It's in the small details but the artwork and general flow sucked me in right away. The composition of frames and the overlying story work in perfect harmony and if someone asked me to pick a favorite moment I would probably melt into a little pile, unable to do so. I was gifted (by Irish ofc) Parenting 101, Scorched Earth and the Butchlander bookmark from Vanshound's collection. Vans has posted about their architecture work and it's very visible in this book, especially in regards to cleanliness and stunning backgrounds. The way pages shift from dark to light also aids the general quality but- I would be lying if I tried calling this book anything but perfect. Admittedly as a supe!Butcher fan, I loved this timeline. Picking up from the end of season 3 we get to see our two favorite co-parents somehow stumble upon their truce thanks to Ryan. The conflict was kept in line with the show and left me wondering at times if I was confusing 'Parenting 101' with the canon show. TL;DR: If you are a butchlander fan, Homelander fan, Billy Butcher fan or a general enjoyer of art that is so perfect you'll want to stare at it for hours on end, please consider supporting this absolute masterpiece. BUY IT HERE

[EDIT: there is now a digital version for purchase on Vanshound’s site / gumroad, check it out if you can’t afford shipping costs!]

HOMESICK - “Old Wounds, New Wounds”

Preview:

“It’s nothing personal, John. . . I’m going to share some information with you, and then simply ask that you stay out of my way. Because what I am going to show you? Well, let’s just say that it isn’t the sort of thing you want accidentally leaked to the press. . . It would overshadow every single thing you had ever done in your lifetime." The sugary, malevolent voice said, sounding distant.

“I don’t want to have to fight you, John. I don’t want to ruin your life any more than I have to. . .”

Homesick chapter 25 preview

Considering Tumblr is easily my favorite platform and has so many wonderful Homesick based interactions- here's a snippet of chapter 25 which is halfway done and clocking in at 13 pages! Enjoy~ CHAPTER 25: THE COMPOUND PREVIEW

Arriving at the scene felt like breathing fresh air after clenching your lungs for an eternity. John took in the scene, eyes narrowing at an odd familiarity that resided somewhere within his chest. Scared wasn’t the right word but he was nervous, the same as everyone else. Whatever lie beyond those compound doors wouldn’t prove itself an easy task to conquer. 

“There’s two entrances I can see. One is near the front of the building and the other is on the East side. It’s inside of a fenced area though…- I’ll have to get closer to see the rest.”

As the building came closer into view, John made sure to stand in front of the pack, eyes carefully absorbing whatever information and relaying it to the team. The hallways and tunnels connected to the compound seemed to hold voids of nothingness, leaving gaps in the infrastructure which could only mean they’d lined certain parts with zinc. When the group broke he followed the planned path they had laid out, walking towards the front entrance with his fists clenched so tight his knuckles were pale. 

The operation felt oddly underprepared on their enemies side and John noted so as he walked up to two guards standing against the entrance, readily firing at him as the bullets ricocheted harmlessly.

In one swift motion John ripped off the jaws of the men who'd been shooting at him and instantly felt a wave of trepidation wash over him. Kicking in the doors, he took a few automatic steps forward before he stalled.

Walking into the building, a sudden buzzing rang out in his ears and the walls felt like a living, breathing creature. It wasn’t until John took a moment to take in the sights that memories came flooding back, a room ahead containing a furnace that made his stomach drop and his skin cold. He hadn’t even realized the alarms had gone off, a loud siren accompanied by red flashing lights trailing the hallway ahead.

A canister hit the ground with an obnoxious clack, the metal rattling before a gas began to sizzle out. His face turned to something much more twisted as he looked down with a feral grin, taking a deep breath as he quickly placed the smell. Novichok. His familiarity with the scent was due to his dear old dad, considering it was all it took to put him down. But not Homelander. Homelander was nothing like his father.

Giving an unimpressed look, the once adored hero crushed the can under his foot, slowly walking forward before he quickly grabbed one of the men responsible, a hand thrusting into his abdomen as he ripped his spine out from the front. The next kill was quick, effortlessly cutting two men in half as they turned to run, the rest of their group opening fire as they tried to keep Homelander at bay. 

None of it was enough. It was never enough. And these lab walls knew that truth all too well.

It was a good thing that Billy Butcher and his team were trained for this sort of thing. Once the wheels started moving on an operation like this, there wasn't time to panic or hesitate. Butcher and Kimiko had made short work of the back door, sending the group flooding in through the back. With Annie acting like a flash bang of sorts, the group that had been at the south entrance had very, very little chance. The ones that didn't just go running, anyway. 

Wisely, the dark haired supe storming the halls hadn't chosen to fully reveal his cards yet. Flying off would have left his team alone at his flank and because of this he chose to walk at a slow pace down into the facility. A small team of two armed personnel rounded the corner, only for a bright flash of gold to send the hall in front of them quiet again. 

The men stood there for a half second on their feet before they simply slid apart at the torso, falling apart like a poorly made sandwich. The audible gasp behind Butcher made him whirl around quickly, only to see his own team gawking and making various 'what the fucks' in a gallery behind him. 

"Oh get the fuck over yourselves." He rolled his eyes, pulling back the fabric of his trench coat clear before kicking the steel door blocking their way clean off its hinges. The metal made a high pitched, warping sound as it flung off down the hallway. 

"Incroyable. That's a trick I wish you would have 'ad sooner, yeah?" Frenchie laughed maniacally as he marched off down the hallway with the others, the lights overhead flashing between normal lighting and red in intervals that unnerved him. 

The group came to a nexus of the hallways, hearing evacuation calls go out over the radio of one of the unconscious guards behind him. 

Butcher looked genuinely lost as he looked down each of the halls, trying his best to listen. Everything in this place was lined with unforgiving, echoic metals that made tracking Ryan down impossible, and for once he really did wish he had John's powers.

MM came up behind him, gesturing him along. 

"The four of you, go that way. If you find Ryan, radio us. Get him and get out, don't wait.--Me and Butcher go this way." 

It was an uneven split but the math added up. 

The group talked midst themselves for a second, but Butcher wasn't listening. He could only hear an odd, high pitched sound shifting through the building that made him say nothing more and go running down the hall. MM scrambled to catch up to him as they tore off on their own. 

"You hear somethin'?" MM asked, coming up next to him. 

"No, I don't. Save for the door teams... That's what worries me. Don't hear no panic. No employees. No John, either." Billy gave a worried look behind them, wondering just where he was in the complex. There was no way he'd pass up an opportunity to murder everyone in sight, right? 

After taking another ominously darker hallway, the two found themselves cutting through a rather large laboratory. They crossed in silence, noting the cabinet doors all wide open and seemingly abandoned. No bodies, no abandoned coffee mugs. Nothing to denote that the place had been 'evacuated'. 

"Looks like this place has been empty for awhile." Butcher's partner said, keeping his voice quiet beside him as he stopped, shining the light hooked to the end of his gun onto the wall. There were a few X-rays and scans of ... well, from the size? What appeared to be children. "This must be where they moved their fucked up experiments to, after John." Until next time folks!

Homesick cameo in a moon knight fic anyone?

☽ ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ ☾

"We don't need the extra fortune cookies Marc, you never--" As they came out of the restaurant Steven accidentally backed into two older men, one of them wearing a baseball cap while the other sported a worn black coat. They looked familiar, but in a distant way. Like he'd seen them on a magazine cover or something.

They didn't seem startled, letting Steven adjust himself and almost dropping their food as he offered an apology. "Sorry about that mate, my bad-.."

The darker haired man shrugged, "No worries, guv." The man in the baseball cap held the door for them, giving Steven a shrug as if to say no worries. He could hear them bickering as Steven and Marc headed home, Marc having to actively stop Steven from outright staring back at them.

"Since when do you use the word 'guv'? We've only been here a few days and I already can't understand a word you're saying."

"Yeah well, if ya want the A~mer~ican accent again I can bring it back."

"God pl--"

The door to the restaurant shut behind them, Steven finally paying full attention and taking back control of their legs as they started their trek home.
