The Boys subreddit’s and fandom-at-large’s widespread expectation that a child should be enthusiastic about killing his father
— I don’t care what his father has done —
— especially when said father clearly cares about the child and the child doesn’t have better parental figures alive —
— I don’t care if the love is ‘narcissistic’—
(— give me a break all parental love has an element of self-love, especially when it comes to, but not limited to, biological children—)
— especially when he had about 30 seconds to process a huge infodump about why his dad sucks before he’d be gassed if he didn’t pledge allegiance—
makes me feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Wyatt’s stomach was still churning too uncomfortably for him to think about dinner, nor did Brynn seem too bothered either; she was far more interested in taking herself to bed. He’d been too distracted to notice earlier, but he suddenly realised she hadn’t even brought a bag along with her.
Wyatt: You didn’t bring anything with you?
Brynn: I not really have anything…
Wyatt: If I knew you were going to set out with nothing, I might not have been so keen to let you leave.
Brynn: It was important to me.
Wyatt: I know.
Brynn: You came to find me, didn’t you?
Wyatt: Perhaps-.. but I changed my mind in the end.
Brynn: Before or after you fail?
Wyatt: [snorts] In between.
Brynn: I not mean to ghost you-.. I hoped to get a new phone, but something more important popped up.
Wyatt: It’s okay.. I have your phone, by the way.
Brynn: Oh-.. is Gael still breathing?
Wyatt: Unfortunately.
Brynn: Maybe you knock some sense into him.
Wyatt: I doubt it.
Brynn: Hm, me too-.. I would have liked to see his face.
[Wyatt snickered lowly; he should’ve taken a picture]
Wyatt: Would you still have come back? You know, if it weren’t for-…
Brynn: I always plan on coming home.
Wyatt: I take it you were busy saving your money?
Brynn: Yes! Though your friend Darien helped me in the end.
Wyatt: I’ll have to pay him back then.
Brynn: Pfft, I pay myself! That’s why I take so long.
Wyatt: I could’ve helped you, if you’d asked.
Brynn: I not think it fair.
Wyatt: What do you mean?
Brynn: Is so expensive.
Wyatt: And?
Brynn: I not want to bankrupt you.
[Wyatt squinted, realising he’d never mentioned the fact that his lifestyle didn’t quite match his bank account]
Wyatt: Brynn, I could buy us a private jet if I wanted-.. several, in fact.
Brynn: Really..?
Wyatt: Mhm.
Brynn: You live so modestly; I never would know.
Wyatt: Well, at least you’re not after my money.
Brynn chuckled sleepily; she hadn’t returned with the intent to sit idly on her hands, but it was nice to know there was no rush to find employment, or to make money. She was beyond exhausted after the past few months
Brynn: Does that mean I not have to get a job?
Wyatt: Not unless you want one.
Brynn: Will you keep yours?
Wyatt: Probably not. I just wanted to know what it felt like-.. mundanity.
Brynn: Is kind of rewarding, no?
Wyatt: Oddly so.
Brynn: I think we have something more rewarding to spend our time on soon.
Wyatt: How long do we have to, uh.. prepare?
Brynn: I not know exactly.
Wyatt: You haven’t been to the doctors?
Brynn: I not able to just walk in without being registered! I feel fine, anyway.
Wyatt: We’ll sort it out tomorrow-.. get you some clothes n’ stuff afterward.
Brynn: You are soft.
Wyatt: Only for you.
With no worries left unsaid and no more secrets between them, Brynn draped herself over Wyatt and crashed-.. hard. Some people clearly didn’t understand her choices, but she’d never felt so loved, seen, or safe with anyone else before. She was finally home, and for the first time in her life, she was truly content…

i’ve decided to send an ask for each story you posted in the wip game kdnehdhs who did this to you? lives rent free in my brain 💛💛 (@a-little-unsteddie)
thank you so much 🥰🤍 still slowly working my way through the asks, so have a few more words to make up for the wait 🫶
who did this to you (pt.4) // tales of blue
part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | read on ao3
🌷 preceding snippet no 1. | no. 2
Finally, finally, the familiar sound of Wayne‘s old truck rounding the corner into the trailer park interrupts the tense silence that seems to have fallen over all of Forest Hills tonight, and Eddie has half a mind to run out there, run toward them and get the whole story. Just to be sure that everything is fine. Just to be sure that Steve’s still… That he’s still there.
He stays right where he is, though, staring at Buckley‘s wild hair, feeling her shadow walk over him as Wayne pulls up to their driveway and stops. She is right in the centre of the headlights, but still she doesn’t move. Eddie wants to scream at her. Wants to nudge her and shove her out of the way — imagines it, imagines all the alternate universes in which he finds her wide eyes scared and unseeing as Wayne‘s voice sounds behind them, telling them that Steve didn’t make it.
Except in this one, Wayne said they’re coming home. In this one, shit like that doesn’t happen to eighteen year-old boys and their friends.
Aside from that girl. Barbara Holland.
Eddie swallows, his eyes flitting between bright lights to the silhouette of Buckley right in their centre. Like a doe, he thinks. Terrified of what she’ll find.
Don’t you wanna know? Eddie wants to ask her. Don’t you wanna see? What are you afraid of? What did you see? Who is he, Robin, and who are you? Why the fuck won’t you move?
In the end, it is the sound of a car door slamming shut that snaps Buckley out of her stupor, and she all but flies off the steps towards the truck. Towards where Eddie can vaguely make out the shape of a badly bruised face, the play of light and darkness not enough to conceal the deep purple splotches or the sluggishness of his movements as he raises his head. Turning toward Buckley like a flower to the sun.
She presses her hand to the window for a second, just looking at him — and Eddie is glad he can’t see either of their faces. He has a feeling that what he’d see there would haunt him forever.

if you like the characters and picking out the parts that work ward is a lot of fun actually. there are genuine and valuable criticisms of it but the culture about it is getting kinda weird. love a solid post unpacking the problems or making jokes about it but if your instinctual reaction to seeing other people talk about ward is to feel upset and/or join the conversation to talk about how its the absolute worst you might want to consider if you would feel better blacklisting the tag
if youre curious about ward give it a try. its always gonna be a lot cooler and easier online for people to make fun of something; maybe you like it better than you expect. or maybe its awful. you can always stop reading
