ok we need an e/se asian reader in the taskforce. the first time they get offered tea from price, thinking that it’s hong cha . ends up spitting it out after they take the first sip and realise it’s fucking earl grey . who teaches them torture methods that were simply just what their parents did to them as a kid . who is generally pretty nice, but can scare the living shit out of new recruits if they have to (once again, asian parent skill) . who leans over to price and discreetly asks ‘is that just a white people thing ?” whenever ghost and soap are on their shit .
just them being silly would be funny as fuck should out to all writers who do asian!readers we love you out here
(some of tags r important, please check them)

the AUDACITY that john wells has i swear to FUCKING god.
he took debbie, one of the most complex, well-written, interesting characters i’ve ever seen, and just fucked her over?? wtf?? her ending was so fucked and season 11 he totally just bought into the whole “we all hate debbie” thing which is so goddamn stupid because it was not only out of character for characters like ian, but it was also just such a waste! like, she had so much potential and just as things were going well for her it just got fucked up.
but at the same time i was satisfied with debbie’s ending in a way? like it was so shitty and sad in a way that it satisfied me because it was fitting but also like AGGHHHHHH
her entire storyline starting from season 1 is that she’s just a fearful person who wants love so badly that she goes to extremes to get it but fails. she wants nothing more than just a person to stay with her. she wants to care for people. she wants love. she loves to love and she loves to be loved. she’s just such a loving, yet hurt person.
like basically she starts off scared of being alone and then ends up alone, with the exception of her daughter and toxic girlfriend who’s literally about to leave her.
she just keeps attaching herself then being left. over and over again. it’s sad, but realistic. this is what happens when you abandon your kids. debbie is the epitome of abandonment issues.
debbie just wanted love. she’s willing to do anything to get it (ie. exploit herself, have a child, attach onto untrustworthy people, etc.), but despite this, she always fails.
she starts off sad, hopeful, and a little naïve, and she ends up tragic, desperate, and lonely. fuck you john wells. give her her fairytale ending, after everything she had to go through that was the least you could do.

Incorrect The Boys quote (2.0)
Homelander : Honey, Pumpkin, Sugarplum-
(Y/n) cuts him off : What did you do?
Homelander : Why does something have to be wrong?
(Y/n) gives him a pointed look, making him cave.
Homelander rubbing his neck nervously : I may or may not have destroyed your car.
(Y/n) fuming : YOU WHAT!?

Thinking about the symbolic weight of smoking in the TLT universe that comes to the fore in The Unwanted Guest -- the way it moves through from person to person: Pyrrha smoked, and Augustine wanted to impress her in all her stone cold fox MILF James Bond glory (and tbf who wouldn't) so he started too. and even though as far as he knows she's been gone for a myriad and is never coming back, he keeps the habit. Ianthe sees something in the hollowed-out Faberge eggshell of Augustine that resonates with her, all that gilded eloquent emptiness and disdain through the ages, so she picked it up from him to try to emulate it. She picked it up so hard that Palamedes -- the exact spiritual antithesis of the 'smoking! on a space station! what a powermove' ennui Ianthe so admired -- spontaneously unnerded enough to even known how to, simply from a sort of contact contamination of the soul.
G1deon and Augustine sharing a jittery smoke after their near-Harrow experience during soup night, and it's the closest thing to any real sense of brotherhood that remains between them. Pyrrha going ten thousand years dying both literally and for a smoke (and then Camilla sold her fucking cigarettes (for a third of what they were worth, probably Pyrrha's own good, and also more importantly grocery money). what an entirely haunted time to be alive etc.). Augustine and Mercy trading a cigarette back and forth in the middle of their collusion over the love and murder of god.
An act of small and measured self-destruction in the name of something a little bit like connection when you're stuck somewhere in yourself where love itself dares not or cannot tread (ritualized, transmissible)..........
