#this is what sort of went through my hesd watching episode 2

[vindickyoutive]

finished episode 2 of my season 3 ‘the boys’ rewatch

- didn’t notice ‘teddy stillwell’ on my first watch, his name drop at the adoption center for super kids made me pause the show & stare at the wall.

- homelander & starlight’s banter is so much funnier on rewatch, when homie introduces himself to alex with that cum-drunk line & starlight just looks at alex like ‘ignore him pls’ 😭

- just,,, antony’s & erin’s chemistry, guys. them.

- hughie was so angsty, i forgot how angsty he was. he looked like an angry 3 yr old in most of his scenes, such a helpless little dude lol. his one-sided beef with alex that didn’t go anywhere, his frustrations towards himself being projected onto annie, finding out neuman is the headpopper & is also stan edgar’s adoptive daughter - like jfc omg

- butcher’s temp v nightmare(?), homelander shows up in his dreams

- butcher’s angst 🥲 him ready to give it all up, sounding so vulnerable towards hughie over the phone, & then hughie dropping the ball that neuman was the headpopper & reeling butcher back in. lmaooo i remember screaming ‘hughie stop’ so loud

- “she million dollar baby’d herself” ashley was so funny this ep, she was all over the place. she’s probably going to have a stroke next season if she doesn’t try to get pregnant

- & to add onto that, stormfront dying was: 😁🫶

- the deep shenanigans in the first few minutes of the episode LMAOOO insane plot line

- stan having to be the mediator between homelander & starlight lmaoo pls i wish this dynamic went on for longer

- homelander’s shenanigans this episode was hilarious, where i do i even start? he goes from amusing to terrifying in one blink lmao i can’t. “it’s my birthday, silly” kills me every time, & then him harassing starlight, & lastly, showing up in butcher’s dreams i mean, his ‘i am better’ speech!

- kimiko thinking, understandably, that she ruined those kid’s childhood at the Vought festival, ughhh that stings
