Okay, but what I want to know is; what is the fandom culture like in the world of The Boys?
Are there people writing The Seven and Vought fanfic on Ao3 or a similar website? People talking about how The Seven are IRL found family, because they can’t see how much the supes fucking hate each other? Are people having to make apology posts for writing Stormfront fics after the news that she’s a nazi breaks? Angsty fics when the world finds out that heros are made, not born?
How much of the fics are self-insert of the author and their favorite supe? Is there a 500k+ college AU Homelander/reader fic that later gets turned into a book deal and then a movie, After style? How many people are making sad posts because their favorite C-list supe only has 50 fanfics about them and they’ve already read them all?
Is there shipping wars? Queen Maeve/Homelander vs. Homelander/The Deep? Fandom scandals? Did someone con millions out of fans with a fake The Seven dating sim? On April 1st, the Black Noirpocalypse?
Hughie was very publicly Starlight’s boyfriend for a little bit, as far as the fans know - is there fanfic of him out there? Does he have a little dedicated fan base? Better yet - we know Hughie was a The Seven fan before A-Train killed Robin (look at his room when he destroys it), did he read or write fanfic?

Tumblr has just become the place I go to when I get a new hyper fixation and I need content of it that other social media apps just can’t provide

(mgv) wilson in pre-rut and still working but it being more and more obvious to the ducklings (who are not in tune with his cycle like that freak house is, thanks) because he starts following house around more than usual, sometimes even getting physically closer to him when it's not necessary (and house lets him most of the time too. not all the time though. if he gets especially annoyed he'll snip at him and wilson backs off with his head ducked which is..... atypical pre-rut alpha behavior but also their friendship is atypical so whatever)
it's so bad sometimes they even catch wilson smiling while he pretends not to notice while house steals his wallet so he can empty out the vending machine for his favorite snacks. later when they're alone in house's office, house pulls out a couple bags of wilson's favorites he got while he was raiding the machine and tosses them over. the look on wilson's face is so dopey that house can't help but snicker and tell him to put in his notice of leave for his cycle soon because he is really swimming in it now

God it's so funny the extent to which I cannot be normal about media. I either just do not give a shit at all or it consumes my every waking moment for months at a time. Do NOT show me cult classic 80s horror movies unless you want me to base my entire personality around it for the foreseeable future

I could talk about my trans Ronan headcanons for hours. if I sat someone down and explained my list of lighthearted OR deeply thought through trans Ronan thoughts Glendower would rise from the dead before I'd be done talking about how Niall dreamed him fake documents and hormone blockers and how he hung around Kavinsky after Niall's death because Kavinsky dreamed him T because it's just one more substance and Ronan couldn't control his dreaming yet and and and-

Unpopular opinion but I want wrecker to have an arc/and or get seriously wounded. Because like almost every other bad batcher had episodes revolving around them but wrecker. He’s just the side character, but like just imagine he actually gets an episode solely focused on him. And I know last episode he kind of got to shine with Hunter and fennec but like I need more wrecker content people…

Are you normal or are you crying at like 11 pm thinking about how little affection Gladion has from other human beings in his life?
Like the Lusamine issue is the biggest one. But his dad got sucked into a wormhole and then noped off to Poke Pelago (and in USUM, Lusamine decides not to tell him about his family). Team Skull treats him like fucking dirt, and in the end, they're an extension of Lusamine. Lillie and Wicke are nice to everyone, but they never show Gladion as much attention as they do Lusamine, or even the player.
The anime did address the Mohn issue better than the games. But it made the mistake of neutering Lusamine's villainy. So the happy family seems...hollow to me. The Gladion in this particular image just doesn't feel like him.
As I wrote this rant- which is a long time coming and I'm sorry- I realized it's empty because the writers are determined to "redeem" Lusamine, and in doing so require every other character to forgive her. But (game continuity) Gladion has no reason to do so. Not after what she did to his sister, or Silvally.
Not after what she did to him.
I feel like Gladion's departure in USUM should have been permanent. He needs a support system outside the Aether Foundation- wherever he has to go to find it. He has his Pokemon (many of which are friendship evolutions, so there's no doubt there's affection from them). But he needs a person to talk to. He needs to cope with what happened to him and his family. He needs and deserves friends and a healthy life.
Lillie chose to forgive Lusamine and the Aether Foundation. Gladion does not have to forgive. It's not in his character. Moreover, it's not a fucking requirement. There should be zero pressure on him to have anything to do with Lusamine, Team Skull, or the Aether Foundation. "But who will run the Aether Foundation in Sun and Mo-" nobody. Let it crumble. It was a sham the moment Lusamine and Nihilego met.
Gladion should be allowed to walk away and find happiness elsewhere. The Pokemon World is big. Countless regions exist, and more are being discovered. They're full of people. He doesn't have to suffer alone.
I didn't mean to turn this into an essay. But I have so many Thoughts about him...
