“five and lila actually make total sense” “all these fake fans just don’t understand” “the writers have been planning this since lila was introduced”

That Brain!Sage is the cutest thing she’s so tiny omg

Like their height difference in show is hilarious but the best part so far is how much Homelander seems to genuinely like her character and judgement. Like he said, after being surrounded by sycophants for so long it’s about damn time he has an almost equal to play off of. Her and Firecracker are SUCH good late editions to the cast; I’m curious to see if they will survive post series finale and continue their arcs into Gen V and the other upcoming spin-offs.

It took me a second to warm up to Firecracker (no pun intended) but I agree - she's a fun addition ! The scene between her and Starlight was veeery interesting to me. I think it added a juicy layer of depth to both characters.

Her 'budding relationship' with Homelander is also a point of interest. If Sage and him are Pinky and The Brain, then he and Firecracker are definitely giving off some warped Pepe Le Pew and Penelope vibes.

I also find her cringefail powers strangely endearing. It's always a treat to see supes who are sort of, well--lame. Not everyone is going to be born a Homelander or even a Deep (I'm still confused as to why the show is so adamant on insisting that his powers are lackluster. The man can control the largest mammals on earth.)

MY MAN BOBBY IS SOMETHING ELSE

In season 4, I demand more Benedict and Hyacinth interactions. Gregory's off to school, Anthony and Kate are off to India, Eloise and Francesca are off to Scotland, the other two have married and moved out, so these two are the last ones under Violet's roof, I love what we've gotten of them but I need more bonding scenes. They're both hilarious and completely unhinged at times, I need more of this chaotic sibling duo.

thinking about kab and the thing about her i think is she knows just enough to keep herself safe Generally but not enough to really predict what would happen should something more... complicated??? unforeseen??? idk whats the right word to use but something not covered by someones reputation and/or vids happen, believe it or not this also affects her view of clownpierce (we'll get to that)

for example, mapicc has a reputation for being an violent, angry, & impulsive guy and nothing else which makes sense but is incredibly surface level and something that only really works if you dont have a lot of experience working with him

another is reddoons, his betrayal after the base incident while shocking is not unforeseen but his reputation as being a guy whos seen as being a reasonable person whos fairly loyal to his team made it seem like something he wouldnt do even tho it absolutely is

regarding how it affects her view of clown, since he isnt perfectly aligned with his reputation she instead pivots in the complete opposite direction and forgiving basically every crime he does even tho hes something much more mild and complicated than either his reputation or her view of him will ever be (think madonna-whore complex which is especially obvious when it comes to kabs vs woogies view of him)

another side effect of this Just Enough amount of knowledge aside from being blinded by her own expectations is that it frustrates ppl who think shes oversimplificating things (like me and seemingly several other tumblr users as well) especially when she claims that shes objectively correct and the smartest in the room at any given moment

how this roughness in her analysis affects her in the server still has yet to be fully seen but we do still have at least a couple months until the end but 'til then shes just gonna keep stumbling as more and more complicated situations pop up as is typical in lifesteal to happen and eventually shes gonna have to learn to adapt or else she'll be suffering the consequences one way or another

the handler watching five kill every single one of her agents with a single butter knife on the infinite switchboard

[jackshiccup]

hiccup being passed around like a fucking hackeysack from bounty hunter to bounty hunter in midnight scrum was INSANE? getting knocked unconscious three separate times with 1) a hit to the head 2) a tranquilizer and 3) a punch to the stomach, being roughly dragged around by metal chains wrapped around his neck, almost falling off a cliff and then losing his metal leg i’m sorry but what in the fresh hell this episode should just be dubbed hiccup and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day

Is it just me or was the entire Hughie & Annie conflict kinda forced? Especially in the last episode. Like I understand Annie being uncomfortable with the shapeshifter situation, but blaming the whole thing on Hughie? That it's his fault he was deceived into having sex and proposing? And he was the one who caught on that it wasn't Annie, so her being persistently this upset with him felt very unnatural. Like the writers were running out of justifications to bring conflict into their relationship.

Choosing to frame the situation as if Hughie (consciously) had a fling with somebody else and wasn't repeatedly assaulted was certainly a choice.

4x05 (buck begins) made me cry for buck but i wish there wasn’t a buckley parent redemption. i get maddie wanting to have a relationship with them, but if i was buck i don’t think i would forgive them that fast. i also wonder if buck truly did forgive them or just said he did and will act like it because he’s a people pleaser. i know these therapy sessions he will be doing with them will probably go horrible
