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?

Hey. Hey. They put something in this game and I don't know what it was but I can't stop playing it/thinking about it/dreaming about it and I need somebody to talk to me about these boys because I will lose my mind, I swear I will.
It's six sad, horny boys, like ... I never had a chance.

I will add myself to the AFTG clutter, well after the trilogy is done:
Currently on TRK after finishing TFC in 2 days, I am hopeful to continue my quick reading. Some notes on my read so far:
I am having a hell of a laugh reading out all of Jean's dialogue with a french southern accent because peuchère il est marseillais le peutchi
I am also crying at the littlest things, like the showers in the first away-game against the terrapins (which I was surprised to discover is apparently a turtle??) But big events leave me indifferent (like Seth, but I think that was meant to be seeing as Neil had about the same reaction) or numb and in shock (like learning Neil BELONGS TO THE MORIYAMAS??? HELLO???? I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING????)
I should be doing homework. I am not. I will get in trouble. But at least I'll know how this all ends. I love theatre but the power of Adhd hyperfixation is stronger than me </3
I am VERY AFRAID to interact with fandom because I don't want to get spoiled (looking at you, dr who hyperfixation where I know way too much because of AO3) but I will be glad to update to you all my reactions through text as I read through this (though I will slide over most of the "I wish I could go in there and hold/punch him/her"s and "Omg he's so fucking hot"s)
Every character of the team is so fucking attractive and I was 100% shaming myself for my reaction when Kevin full-body-pinned Neil against the wall. 1/2 of my thoughts and reactions are "when is it my turn" or "omg let's switch places".
I was extremely worried when Neil woke up in Nicky's arms after having been drugged because like ???? Did they do anything ????? But then realized that Nicky would do no such thing, despite repeatedly talking about it.
The girls have all my love, seriously, Dan is wonderful as a captain AND as a friend, Renee is so nice I aspire to have her self-control, Allison needs a hug.
ALSO!!! IN THE SHIPS!!! (Because I did discover this off of a gay edit between Andrew and Neil "Yes or no Neil? / It's always yes with you") I fucking love that I can ship Andrew, Neil and Kevin interchangeably. Like, Guard dog and Hurt runaway? Fuck yes. Famous but kept captive and Underdog but free? You got it. Anxiety ball and Dangerous but somehow reassuring? Give me all of it.
OKAY now I need to let my newfound knowledge sink in because wtf was that conversation (Neil and Kevin about the whole lore thing), thank you for reading my thoughts as an excited first-time reader

Was thinking about Lost Hero earlier and thought about something.
Did Hephaestus really want to ignore Leo like that?.
Like what if he physically couldn't do anything to help him?
Earlier in the book, Gaia states in Leo's memory that she cannot 'destroy him yet' and that 'the Fates will not allow it'
So weve established that even Gaia has to listen to the fates. So when Hephaestus says this;
Tumblr media
It makes me think of a theory:
What if Hephaestus wanted to help Leo? But the fates wouldnt let him?.
Like he does actually seem to care about him and expresses some sadness over Leo's shitty life.
Or maybe I'm just making connections that aren't there, cus I fucking love this weird autistic hermit man and his also weird little autistic son.
Even so, I'd like someone else's opinion on this theory.

HAHAHAHAHA I WROTE A CEAZY THEORY ABOUT FAERIE TYPES AND NOT ONLY DID I GET IN - IM ON THE FRONT FREAKING PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
HAHAHAH I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!!!
Okay but seriously tho, what do you all think? Do you think that the existence of unique faeries means there are more than 6 faerie elements? Are the paint brush colors made up of six (or more) faerie elements?

i've been thinking about tedbecca.
I don't understand what the writers are doing if they're not going to go through with it. Like?
I fell back into a Tedbecca hole last night, and I saw some articles quoting Hannah saying that they're platonic soulmates. And Phil said something to that effect as well (what are you even doing here, Phil? She doesn't even go here!), and I'm just...confused.
It put me in a bad mood, and then it took me forever to go to sleep, so here I am, cranky and venting about it on my blog – I have missed this – and hoping for some, I don't know, clarity?
We've been told everything the writers do is intentional. We've seen it. With Nathan. With Sambecca (ugh). And then I watch the show and the way Ted looks at Rebecca... Jason's doing that on purpose, right? He has to be. And what was up with that back-and-forth Bantr fake-out? Were they just teasing us? That seems cruel.
ALSO, why did the camera stay on Ted after Rebecca's Sam confession? Why did he look sad?
Are they just playing with us? Because I can handle that. I'm a fandom vet, okay. I've boxed with the best of them. But if they're doing all of this as a game, I will be very, very upset. (EDIT: I'm a writer myself. I have an MFA in dramatic writing. I know all the tricks of the trade. So if they're toying with us – that's some shit.)

What immensely bothers me from a worldbuilding standpoint is what happened to clones after order 66.
Explanations I have seen in canon are some variations of the line: They were all phased out by 5 bby.
But what does it mean??
The clones were commisioned in 32 bby. With accelerated aging, we have a couple million people 54 years old at the most who knew nothing but war their whole life and were trained exclusively for war. What happened to clones who were not yet decanted when empire came to power?
This is not overly much for the galaxy to absorb but how did it go exactly?
Clones don’t have families to retire to. If you don’t give them the means to live civilian life and just throw them out into the galaxy the immediately suitable professions are probably mercenary, bounty hunter, and the like. There is no galactic level player but you just gifted a nice army for hire to interplanetary conflicts.
If you do give them means how do you exactly go about it? They are a potential workforce. Were they assigned to some particular world? Did a lot of worlds get small groups? Were there classes? Do chips work like mood stabilizers/antidepressants?
Moreover, if there is a significant amount of clones living near each other, that’s a demographic crisis waiting to happen a few generations down. Are clones sterile? 
If clones were a force significant enough to represent the republic in the galactic wide conflict it's rather careless to not address how this force was dissipated or redirected.
Did Disney shy away from saying they were all euthanized after order 66?

As someone with Fibro, while I'm not fully surprised but wonder why hasn't anyone made more connections of the Promare being a stand-in for disability

Riko Moriyama breaks my heart. He's so tragic and I can't bring myself to hate him. He's a terrible person, he believes he has the right (or at least the power) to exert over others - brutality and horrific abuse. He's the obsessed artist, he's the one that cannot be saved, he's the one that fractured to the point his glass fragments became sand. He was normal once! He liked playing in puddles after rain, liked having something sweet in the weekend. He liked sleeping in a warm bed.
But he's second. The second son and someone who didn't understand love. He felt so blatantly out of control that he leaned into the power that came with causing people pain and suffering. While Kevin, Neil, Mary, and really everyone else - including Jean, eventually. They all escape their abuse. Riko internalises it, accepts it and builds it into his being. He eventually beings to like and embrace it. Everyone had a choice and everyone managed to get out, to live and learn. Riko didn't get either.
He knows exactly what it's like to be second - unwanted - and yet instead of using those mistakes, he decended into this fractured monster of a person. He knew what it felt like, yet he still perpetrated it. Perpetrated the abuse he suffered, and pushed others down to bring himself up. And worst of all; it was all for nothing.
Because no matter what he did, no matter how well he preformed or how badly - he was still second. Still inferior. Still unwanted and unneeded. He tried so hard, did so much, hurt so many, and still didn't get what he wanted. I mean, fucking loser. But also that is just sad. He's so utterly tragic because you can't redeem him, you can see his reasoning but you can't give any excuse with it. He's utterly awful and I'm livid about it.
Jean - and Kevin - both deserve to hate him, and should. But I'm pretty sure they both have an understanding with him. Because ultimately, he was also trapped. Also shipped off to play Walmart lacrosse. He was trapped by his family, and then he trapped himself. It makes me ache when I think about that fucking scene with his uncle and older brother, the way he looked and felt so small and vulnerable. The way he uttered his brothers name, had his brothers hand on his face in something gentle. All before he was shot. The fact it was believable that he committed, that he was distraught over his loss and failure. Forget shipping him to Edgar Allen to play Walmart lacrosse, I ship him with therapy and a normal family.
I mean I reiterate - What he did was horrible and he should've suffered for that, but I can't hate him. I don't feel hate nor anger for him, I feel pity. Because he is pathetic. Everything he does has some stain of desperation. I fucking hate him, but I also sturggle to. Riko is Neil's narrative foil, he is Neil's mirror, he is someone Neil could of been. He is pathetic, despite, and unable to see that he could be better. I am mentally ill over this man. He is a mentally ill man. Is it too much to ask to have people be happy??? Like, please. I want the perfect court to be chaotic and happy together.

Sooooo irrelevant but I was thinking about how SM till this day looks for H.O.T lookalikes when casting idols. I’m not talking about the “SM clones idols” thing but just how a lot of SM idols can be put into a category in that they look like a specific member of H.O.T! I feel like you could divide SM male idols into 5 distinct groups based on what member of H.O.T they resemble and it would work. This isn’t even taking into account the rlly obvious lookalikes like woohyuk-eunhyuk etc. ALSO listening to old H.O.T albums and then listening to new SM songs is so odd cause SM really does push their idols to sing in that classic H.O.T style huh, listen to warriors descendant and tell me that’s not the classic SM tone of voice.

Pjo spoilers for the books below the cut
Do you think Luke was sad over Chris?
Like thats his brother! Did he not mourn him when he realized that Chris didnt come back from the labyrinth?
Did he not feel guilty when/if Silena told him that Chris has returned with his mind in pieces?
How did he feel seeing Chris on the opposite side with his mind fixed?
Show! Chris and Show! Luke's relationship is fucking hurting my soul cus i know what happens.
