Frenchie has a type

Love that this keeps happening to him. Also, Kimiko’s face in the last gif cracks me up.

It felt like cheating, even though there was no romance to anything they did. Hughie saw Robin in the corner sometimes, a brief flash of disappointment and judgement. She was never there when they did drugs, when Hughie actually wanted to see her. It was only when he and Cherie fucked that Robin haunted him.

Cherie didn't mind smoke in her apartment and it was nice to share a spliff, lying sweaty and naked in bed together, coming down from one high only to replace it with another. Hughie didn't like the taste of weed, but he still took deep drags.

"What are you thinking about?" Cherie asked, coaxing the spliff out of his mouth.

There were only ever two things on Hughie's mind: A-Train or Robin.

"I wish I could kill him." Hughie murmured, letting the spliff be pulled from his lips. "Or... break his legs so he couldn't run again."

Cherie hummed in thought, pausing to take a drag.

"I know a guy."

Hughie snorted. "What, a guy who kills supes?"

"Yeah."

"... Can I meet him?"

That was how Hughie wound up at a club he'd never even heard of, nostrils still burning from the coke he'd snorted before they'd gone out, the bass thrumming in his bones. There was comfort in not knowing if his heart palpations came from anxiety or narcotics. Cherie led him over to a tucked away booth. The man that was waiting for them didn't look like a supe killer. Hughie stared for far too long before Cherie nudged him into the booth. Hughie slid in, quivering with adrenaline and narcotics and offered an awkward wave in greeting.

Maeve ♡ omg I thought she died

[princereece]

not that she’s the most relevant, but the number one most shafted character on the boys is Cherie. like frenchie ditched her immediately for kimiko and then we didn’t even see if she lived after she got attacked by the mob guys with little Nina. like she was in deep shit with the mob and we barely even saw her during that.

Imagine: Soldier Boy Getting Jealous...

Pairing: Soldier Boy (Ben) x F. Reader || (past Frenchie x F. Reader)

Request: Soldier Boy finding out you had something with Frenchie, years before meeting him.

Word Count: 1K

Tags/Warnings: Jealousy lol (With a hint of spice.~)

Imagine: Ben getting jealous over your past relationship with Frenchie.

He doesn't care.

Because he doesn't care...

When you sit him down in the living room of your apartment and tell him you used to date Frenchie, Ben's reaction is mild at best. To the point where it kind of concerns you.

Ben raises a brow and gives a deep hum.

"Oh, really? That limey bastard?" he remarks. He takes a sip from his tumbler of whiskey. You give him a weary sigh.

"I'd appreciate it if you didn't call him that," you reply. You and Frenchie are still friends. Your "entanglement" was years ago, before he even started hooking up with Cherie.

But you still want to be honest with Ben. You two have been dating for a few months now, and it's actually serious. No one's more surprised than you by that fact, but...you're happy. You think he is too.

At your response, however, Ben rolls his eyes and continues drinking. You tilt your head in suspicion.

"So you're chill?" you ask.

"Chill?" he quirks a brow at you. Your lips form a smile.

"You're okay with this," you amend.

Ben shrugs and turns on the TV, trying to navigate the streaming apps. You’d put him on to Game of Thrones. Even three seasons into his binge-watching, he doesn’t want to admit that he’s hooked.

"You're fucking a real man now, sweetheart. No skin off my nose," he says.

It's your turn to roll your eyes, despite a warm blush stinging your cheeks.

But the next time you all go out together to a club in the city, Ben watches you leave his side to say hello to your friends: Annie, Hughie, Frenchie and Kimiko. Frenchie takes your hands and makes a show of looking you up and down.

"Well, well. She shoots to kill tonight, eh?" Frenchie says. When he leans in to kiss your cheek, he whispers, "Ah, black leather. My old favorite."

"Stop," you warn with a smile, hitting his shoulder. He's absolutely shameless. "You're too much."

"And you are just enough," Frenchie returns. He whistles playfully as he raises your hand to twirl you around, showing you off in your little black dress and red-bottom heels.

You laugh, but you bump into Ben when you twirl for the second time. Your laughter cuts off abruptly when you see the flinty look on his face, though he's clinging to stoicism.

Frenchie’s eyes widen as he seems to realize the very real danger he's put himself in. He wisely lets go of your hand, pivots on his heel and goes with Kimiko over to the dance floor.

Meanwhile, you move back to Ben's side and try to placate him by looping your arm through his. He responds by wrapping a strong arm around your waist. His eyes bore into the back of Frenchie's head so hard, you almost expect laser beams to come out of them.

"Come on, let's get a drink," you suggest, patting a hand on Ben's chest. He looks good tonight in a burgundy button-down shirt tucked into his slacks.

Ben wordlessly agrees to your suggestion, but he grabs a stool and drags it close to his own seat. He does help you by the hand onto the stool, but then his arm wraps back around your waist, pulling you in snugly, possessively to his side.

You try not to smile in amusement. It's a caveman's display, but at least you know the root cause this time.

...Okay, maybe you feel the tiniest bit complicit, but really, you think Ben's overreacting.

After he flags down the bartender and orders his bourbon and your martini, you tap against his bearded cheek, earning his green-eyed attention.

"You okay?" you ask knowingly.

"Just fine," he deadpans.

"Oh, well that's convincing," you say with a smile. "Do I need to remind you that I'm here with you?"

Ben's gaze hardens. "I don't know. You were pretty happy to let that French whore put his fucking hands all over you—"

"All right. Calm down, Rambo," you say, trying not to laugh as you rub his arm. "Sorry, baby. That's just how we've always cut up. It doesn't mean anything."

Ben scoffs in derision. "Yeah? Fuck if I care."

You frown at that, sparking with annoyance. Somehow, now you actually do feel guilty. You and Frenchie have bounced off each other like Derek and Garcia for so long, you didn't even realize how it might look...or how it might make your boyfriend feel.

Because even with all that ego and injured pride, you have a feeling there's a real sting of hurt under there.

"Hey," you say, squeezing Ben's wrist. His gaze remains stubbornly on the bartender making your drinks.

You decide to take matters more firmly into your hands.

Reaching up for his chin, you guide Ben's face toward yours and press a kiss to his lips. It's slow at first, but it soon gains in passion. His teeth graze your bottom lip, before his tongue demands entrance into your mouth with claiming purpose.

It elicits a hint of a moan from you, your fingers clenching in his hair. Your nails drag against his scalp, almost making him shudder.

Your supple lips eventually pull away from his, nice and slow.

"Your hands are the only hands I care about touching me," you say. Your expression twinkles with mischief as you toy with the zipper on the side of your dress.

"As a matter of fact, I need your help," you add. "This zipper keeps catching on something. I think it's stuck."

Quite possibly because someone got a little handsy in the cab on the way here.

Ben smirks, though he claims your lips in one more slightly rough kiss before he answers.

"Well that is a problem," he says. His eyes roam down your face, taking in your thoroughly kissed lips, and the cleavage peeking out at him from the neckline of your dress.

"Think I can give you a hand," he says, as his actual hand slips down your leg. His fingers brush along the inside of your thigh, tingling across your skin. His half-lidded gaze once again meeting yours. "Better take you out back and fix you up."

You laugh, despite the return of your blush. You cling to his shoulders, while his fingers burn a tantalizing trail upwards.

"Oh, yeah. Save me, Soldier Boy!" you tease.

He snorts in response, but he helps guide you out of your seat.

Moments later, all your friends find at the bar are two forgotten drinks and a couple of empty stools.

AN: Ah, jealous Ben. It's fun to imagine. 😂

Smoke and mirrors

Ben (Soldier Boy) x Frenchie's sister!Reader

Warnings: mention of drugs, my amateur writing, other than that none <3

A/n: hello loves, this is my first drabble/fic on here and it's not been edited and idk if it made any sense but I hope you like the bit of softness. Firm believer Frenchie and Ben could be besties.

Word count: 781

~=°☆°=~

The smell of second hand smoke was familiar as it curled into your lungs upon entering the room. The offending blunt lay forgotten on the coffee table, along side the remnants of pills you dreaded to know the effects of. Opened snacks and sweating, half-drunk beers let you know that the munchies had come and gone.

In the center of it all? Your brother and his new found high-buddy, Ben.

You looked the pair over, with the fond type of annoyance in your eyes. And what a sight they were, Frenchie and Ben both fast asleep, the former with his arm thrown over the soldier, and drool staining his shirt where his cheek was resting, mushed up against it. Even Ben's own hand was lightly fisted in the material of Frenchie's shirt, and the thought of their reactions waking up, almost kindled a laugh deep in your chest. Instead you just sighed.

Their not-so-healthy habits worried you, of course, but looking at the tortured pair, capable of looking so at peace? Their worries expelled from their bodies and suspended in the mist of smoke above them?

Maybe it was worth the price.

Not that you'd tell either of them that.

Your flat palm made a sharp smack as it collided against the back of your brother's skull. "Bonjour mon cœur, rise and shine. You and your boyfriend made quite the mess, non?" You teased, a smirk curling your lips as the now-awake Frenchie scrambled away from Ben, using the back of his hand to wipe the drool off his face.

He glared at you, but you could tell it was half-hearted. You and Kimiko were the only two people on this planet he could not channel his anger towards. Home. Family. And so you decided its within your jurisdiction to rub some more salt into the wound, "And don't worry, I took a picture"

Giggling, you dodged the cushion that was being thrown your way, and ducked to kneel in front of Ben's still-sleeping form instead. Never one to back down, "Was that so you could photoshop yourself in my place cherie? Monsieur over here is a very good cuddler." Frenchie's voice was teasing, yes, but underneath it there was something knowing. And God no part of you wanted to address the heat in your cheeks right now.

Instead your hands gently slid up Ben's arms, across his broad shoulders, before tipping his chin up from where his head was slumped against his chest. "Hey, hey mon soldat, you're going to have a stiff neck, wake up."

The look in Frenchie's eyes was pure betrayal at the contrast of your soft approach to him. "Incroyable, your own blood gets abused whilst the little crush gets pampered."

"Shut up"

"Non y-"

"Shut. Up." You hissed as Ben groggily came to consciousness, and you dropped your hands, not wishing to be on the receiving end of a compound-V infused punch.

He mumbled your name in a way you'd never heard it before, riddled with sleep, quiet as if unsure whether you were real, or an after-effect of a dream. You repeated your earlier encouragement, and he rolled his head back in response, already experiencing the aches of his older joints.

Not that he'd let anyone know it, but your softness had corrupted him just enough to save a soft spot for you himself.

You ushered them off to their rooms, the dutiful mother hen of the group as always, cleaning up after the two, though Ben had remained planted on the couch watching you with a calculated gaze. He sweeped up the last bit of ash off the table, and sprinkled it in the bag you were holding, finally coming to stand.

The heat of his chest signalled that he had ended up much closer than anticipated, and you looked up, breath hitching as his eyes searched yours, jaw briefly clenching with something inscrutable. Ben's hand reaches up, fingertips light as they brush a strand of hair away from your face, something dangerously close to reverence.

His voice was tinged with a rumble from lack of use "Hmm.. you sure are soft on me doll." He watched smugly as your eyes widened, and lashes fluttered. "Why is that?"

Subconsciously you leaned in, his warm breath brushing against your lips, drawing you in like a moth to a flame. "I- you know mon soldat."

Ben's french was limited but he understood enough, the nickname folding into the part of his chest reserved just for you. He nodded, once, slowly, a single tip of his chin. Solemn and knowing.

"Yeah.. i think I do."

And when his lips met yours, it was clear he certainly did.

Is A-Train "redeemable"?

I have been thinking about this discourse that people have been having, following A-train's actions so far in season 4. And I know we've watched A-train teeter on the edge of good and bad for the last 4 seasons (generally falling to bad more than good). But i think the revelations about Frenchie's character kinda add an interesting spin to this question.

We need to consider how much our personal bias towards the characters we have grown to know (their motivations, their trauma's, their back stories), is impacting moral judgments we pass on other characters across the board.

Atp, every member of the boys has crossed "the line" in terms of black and white morality, but we give them a pass because we are convinced that they are all truly good at heart, and that their cause is just.

However, when you actually break down the actions of said characters, it kind of paints a different picture.

What has A-train done, that we feel he has to atone for? (this is just going off my terrible memory, so forgive me if I miss some things)

He killed Hughie's girlfriend (through negligence)

He killed popclaw (at the behest of homelander)

He's generally pretty arrogant and doesn't care about the horrible actions of his comrades, until it affects him

He killed bluehawk (most people agree that was justified)

Since season 2, Frenchie's past as a hit-man was hinted at (with little Nina explicitly stating that he had also killed children in season 3). It's clear Frenchie never had a particular moral code when he was a hit-man (no women/children type limits). He was simply a hired gun.

We sympathize with Frenchie because we know he had a difficult upbringing with his abusive father, as well as his loyalty to his friends (Cherie and Jay), the boys and especially Kimiko. Him serving as a comic relief often, also adds to this empathy bridge.

But season 4 has actually shown us a glimpse of just how many lives Frenchie has taken in cold blood. A whole room full. Why are we rooting for Frenchie's peace of mind, while debating if A-train is redeemable?

Frenchie has killed more people than Atrain (supe or not) and as far as I know, A-train has never killed a child.

Would it be easier to understand the gravity of Frenchie's crimes if Ryan or MM's daughter was one of his victims? Because his victims are all nameless, we act like his crimes hold less weight.

And then he goes on to start a sexual relationship with one of his victims, while hiding the knowledge that he was perpetrator of his greatest trauma. I think maybe we overlook the sadistic nature of that act because we interpret Frenchie as a "lover at heart", a true romantic that was swayed by his feelings and couldn't help that he had fallen for someone he had wronged. Bruh. When Colin eventually calls Frenchie a psychopath, he's not wrong.

And what about starlight? Her hands aren't clean. Remember the civilian she killed in Season 2? How is that any different from the situation with A-train and Robin? Yeah, it was an accident. In other words, negligence on her part. She needed to save Hughie; but why does Hughie's life matter more than that man. Her and Butcher were trying to carjack him and he had offered to call for help. He had a right to try to defend himself, and that bullet wouldn't have hurt her. That man was a father.

By the logic of why the boys are doing what they do, why we justify their murders of supes who have harmed them and their loved ones; if the child of that man grows up and hunts starlight down, would we need to root for that child to kill her?

Not so different from the shining light girl that keeps trying to kill Kimiko. From what was revealed of their backstory, Kimiko was the one who lured the girl into shining light. That's actually a common tactic of human traffickers, to use their victims (usually women and children) to lure in more victims cuz they seem less threatening. And obviously we can't fully blame Kimiko. She was trapped, brainwashed, and a child trying to protect her younger brother.

However, that girl also has every right to hate her. From her view, her life was forever taken because Kimiko chose not spare her (kinda similar to Gamora and Nebula). When Hughie said to A-train, "everything started with you!" we side with Hughie and we agree. So everytime Kimiko faces against that girl, why are we rooting for Kimiko? Wouldn't kimiko be A-train in that instance?

At this point, the only member of the boys who is still maintaining some Moral code is MM, and it's no coincidence that the show has made him seem pretty useless so far this season.

Btw, this post isn't a defense of A-train nor is it truly an indictment of any of the characters I used as examples. It's just an inconsistency I've noticed with the general fan discourse of who's "good" and who's "bad" on this show. Who is worthy of "forgiveness". Who's "redeemable". Redeemable to whom tho?

P.s. I'm not here to argue. Don't come for me cuz I critiqued your fave. I'm just thinking out loud. Feel free to respond/disagree, but if you're rude I'll just block you.

[thesummerpetsalamander]

One of the saddest things to me about Frenchie is that out of all the Boys, he never really stood a chance at a “normal” life.

Butcher and MM both have trauma in their childhoods but they were, at some point, able to move past this and gain employment, get married etc but Frenchie is just stuck in this cycle of never ending trauma.

Even after escaping his abusive father, he’s pushed into becoming a sex worker to survive being homeless in a foreign country which only further exposed him to exploitation and danger. Then we have Nina, Mallory and Butcher who all “own” Frenchie for brief periods of time only to toss him aside when he is no longer of use to them but keep hold of the leash just enough to pull him back to them when they need him.

Butcher, MM and Hughie all have a “traditional” family set up that must be saved when danger arises whilst Frenchie only has his found family - Kimiko and Cherie who are often not treated in the same standing. Nobody was gonna make Monique kill a bunch of Russians with a dildo to save Janine.

Then we have the cycle of Frenchie getting clean and trying really hard to stay off the drugs only for something to trigger the trauma and pull him back under.

Sorry if this was a bit rambly but I’m in my Frenchie feels 😂

anon…you are breaking my heart 😭😭 YOURE SO RIGHT

he’s always been focused on survival. he’s never had a dream or a goal to push for. he only got wrapped up in the season one mess because translucent saw his face, so he had no choice but to join the boys again for his own survival. then he met kimiko and he devoted himself to helping her 😪 and now he tries to help people instead of harming them because he’s slowly realizing he wants more out of life than being someone’s attack dog. to paraphrase what he said in season three, he’s always locked up on a chain, the only thing that changes is who’s holding the other end. HES SO 💔💔💔

you’re so right anon, he’s so disadvantaged. this is ANOTHERRR reason why we really need to see a deep dive into his character and backstory before the series ends. we’ve got bits and pieces of his backstory but i want more.

frenchie my beloved YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTERRRRR

Why did Frenchie leave after Kimiko kissed him? Was he overwhelmed? Scared? Did he not feel that way at the time?

How the hell did they get back to the office after escaping Nina? Frenchie was butt naked and in rough shape. Kimiko was in a hospital gown, covered in blood. Cherie was not much better. That must have been an interesting Uber ride.

What is Frenchie’s famous cassoulet recipe?

In season 1, they are running for their lives, hiding from Vought in this safe house. At what point was Frenchie like, “Ah yes, this is the perfect time to bake madeleines with this feral girl. Add eggs, flour, and butter to the supplies list.”?

In a bonus scene is Season 2, Frenchie tells Cherie that he would never sleep with Kimiko. Was he lying to her? Or lying to himself?

When exactly did Kimiko figure out what “mon coeur” means?

He still looks totally cute but I would like to understand the reasoning behind Frenchie’s very elaborate, kitten whisker-y facial hair in Season 4. Choices were made!

Speaking of, he spent a not insignificant amount of time in prison. Why does he look so hot and perfectly groomed? When Butcher sprang him from prison, did he let Frenchie stop by his apartment to do a line up before his reunion with Kimiko?

Are Frenchie and Kimiko roommates? If they are roommates I want a whole season of domestic scenes with these two.

Do they share clothes?

Does Cherie come over to hang out? I’ve always been curious about how Kimiko feels about her.

When they came to M.M.’s apartment after escaping Nina, did they stop by Costco to pick up a bottle of Kirkland Signature whiskey or did they already own it?

When exactly did they fall for each other? And when did they each come to the realization that they were in love with the other? I feel like we were a tiny bit cheated out of some scenes of unrequited sexual tension because Eric Kripke dragged his feet about these two getting together for too long. (And my theory is up until the beginning of this season, he only caved because the chemistry was undeniable and the fans wanted it.)

Did Kimiko really sleep with the Jitterbean barista or was she just overcompensating?

How does Frenchie know the signs for “penis” and “vagina?” I can’t see Kimiko needing to use those words with her brother. So did she and Frenchie create those signs together? And how did it come up in the first place???

Frenchie was totally in a throuple with Cherie and Jay, right?

Will Frenchie now act extra territorial around Kimiko when they get coffee? He doesn’t strike me as a jealous guy but I could see him making an exception for her.

Will Frenchie take Compound V?

After he sawed off Kimiko’s leg, did he spend the rest of the day carrying her around while she healed?

What happened to Frenchie’s mother? How did he escape his father?

Why does Frenchie know so much about bombs and bioweapons?

How did he end up moving to The States? How did he become friends with Cherie and Jay? I feel like I could watch multiple seasons of a Frenchie prequel.

How is Kimiko going to get out of prison? How will she rescue Frenchie? And how will he react when he finally hears her voice?

a/n: oh my goodness, I am so nervous to be posting a frenchie story because I love his character so much I really want to make sure I got it right! now, I'm feeling pretty confident with this story, so I would LOVE to hear what you think! please enjoy and have a fabulous day!

oOoOo

It was a fairly straightforward plan. Frenchie would infiltrate Vaught Towers, locate the computers belonging to their damage control department, and download any and all incriminating evidence that could help take Vaught, Homelander, and the rest of The Seven down. Meanwhile, you and Hughie would wait in the getaway van, monitoring the situation from the ground. 

At first, you had argued and pushed back. It was too dangerous for Frenchie to be going in alone. But he reasoned with you it was easier to disguise and sneak in one person, and that he would feel much better knowing you were out of harm's way. 

“It will all be fine, ma cherie?” he promised. “I will feel much better if you stay with Petit Hughie in the van.” 

And so, Frenchie found himself patrolling the building in a security uniform, arms crossed and eyes forward like he belonged among the rank of corrupted Vaught employees. He waited for an opportune moment to duck into the tech room and sync the files to his harddrive. Once the floor was clear, he slipped into the room and got to work. 

His fingers flew across the keys, scanning through lines and lines of code looking for any hidden data. With each minute that passed, Frenchie felt his heart beating faster and faster, throwing a nervous glance over his shoulder every few moments for good measure. He let out a triumphant cry when he finally found the files and began to download them to his hard drive. His leg twitched in anticipation, wanting nothing more than to be done with the mission and back with you once more. 

However, when Frenchie glanced up, he let out a gasp and jumped back when he saw Homelander standing in the shadows with his arms crossed and a bored, yet amused, expression drawn across his features. Whereas Frenchie’s heart had previously been beating quickly with adrenaline, the fear stopped his heart completely in that moment. 

This had to be it, Frenchie thought to himself. There was no way he would survive this encounter with the strongest Supe in the world. His mind tried to compute all sorts of escape routes, but he came up blank with each passing minute. 

“Now, now, Serge. Let’s be civil here.” Homelander said, slowly closing the distance between himself and Frenchie. “I’m not here to hurt you.” 

“As if I would believe that.” Frenchie spat, pulling his pistol from the waistband of his pants, holding it tightly even if it was useless against Homelander. 

Gone were the fake smiles and placating words he projected to the masses. Frenchie could tell that Homelander wasn’t fooling around anymore. “I’m tired of you and your little motley crew trying to sabotage us. I tried to make Butcher understand the severity of your involvement, but it looks like it didn’t take, so I’m going to try a new approach.” he explained, now inches away from Frenchie’s face. 

“Here’s what is going to happen. You’re going to give me that hard drive, walk out of here. But that isn’t where this arrangement ends. I don’t trust that you will stop your investigation, so I want you to be a leak for me. Everything that Butcher, Hughie, or anyone else talks about gets reported back to me.” 

“And why would I do that?” Frenchie shot back in a moment of bravery. 

Homelander merely chuckled as if Frenchie had told him a mildly amusing joke. “Because if you don’t, then y/n down there,” he glanced towards the window. “is going to pay the price for your ineptitude.” he threatened, eyes flashing a pulsing red. 

“W-why would I care?” Frenchie stammered out, trying and failing to hold in his emotions. Instantly, his heart was brought back to life at the thought of you in any sort of danger. 

“Don’t play dumb, Serge. It’s not a good look for you.” Homelander chided. “You might think you and your crew are so sneaky, but I’ve seen how you act around y/n. The linger touches, the longing gazes. I know how much y/n means to your group, especially you. And I don’t think you want to test how serious I am.” 

There was a deep silence between the two men as Frenchie simply stared at the Supe. He knew, deep down, that Homelander wasn’t bluffing, and either way Frenchie wasn’t willing to risk your life on a chance. Reluctantly, and with slightly shaking hands, he handed over the hard drive, flinching when Homelander crushed the device to dust with a simple fist. 

“Glad you could see reason.” Homelander mocked, gesturing for Frenchie to walk out and leave, but added on before he could fully leave. “Oh, and if you mention any word of this conversation to your group, the press, or anyone else I will know, and y/n will pay the price.” 

Frenchie left the room, his spine pin straight and nerves shot. He walked out of Vaught Tower, shame running through him. Could he really go through with this betrayal of the group? But, at the same time, could he ever put your life in danger? Even if the two of you weren’t officially an item, he would never risk your safety - even if it meant being a slimy rat for Homelander.

Imagine Meeting your boyfriend Frenchie through your sister Little Nina:

You sat with your head on his shoulder, the both of you quiet. You'd tried apologizing, but he wouldn't hear it. Your sister could be cruel. Your sister could be hateful. She could be vengeful. She'd handcuffed you to a chair beside Cherie and Kimiko, speaking in Russian to you, explaining how silly your relationship with Serge was, how foolish you were to fall for someone who worked for her. You fought back, spitting at her, crying. You loved him and he loved you. That's what mattered. Your pasts wouldn't define you. She humiliated him and it was your fault. It wasn't about Cherie trying to run away or Frenchie protecting her, it was about your sister finding out about your relationship. Her goons had seen you together, holding hands. You were so careful in the beginning, so paranoid. As time went on you grew careless. You went on dates and kissed him in public and lived this double life, a world with Nina and a world with Serge. Because you'd undermine her, because you went behind her back, she would make you pay for it. If that meant being killed, so be it. You were employed by her first and her sibling second. If Frenchie chose to save Kimiko or Cherie, she could justify your death, she could put the blame on him instead of her. And when it was over, she's sleep soundly.

FRENCHIE | Queer!Mode, Detected

The Boys, Season 1, Ep 2 - Cherry | Season 2, Ep 3 - Over The Hill With the Swords of A 1000 Men, 6 - The Bloody Door’s Off, 8 - What I Know | Season 3, Ep 3 - Barbary Coast

∴

I’ve seen a lotta chatter in The Boys fandom (mostly on Reddit but also TikTok. Appropriately this take wasn’t on Tumblr much) that ppl were mad at Kripke and Co for taking an unforeseen “gay turn” with Frenchie’s character in S4 ..? And I’m over here with my Sherlock Holmes cap and pipe and tiny detective notebook just

trying to understand how these ppl didn’t pick up on the bipan vibes from this beautiful, majestic, so-French-he-can't-help-it butterfly.

(Also all this hand wringing about Frenchie "turning gay," te lo juro me esta eloqueciendo alaverga. Like canwenot with the bi-erasure, it’s giving Ashley telling Maeve she’s a lesbian bc is more “clear-cut” and easier to sell than bi. It’s just as insulting to call a bipan person gay as it is to call them straight. And I don’t mean like the use of gay as a catch all that a lotta us queers use sometimes interchangeably for queer, I talkin ppl acting as tho bipan isn't real and/or thinking Frenchie jumped out the closet as a gay man 3/4 of the way thru the show.)

And their confusion over this has got me confused. Like I didn’t even realize it was such a plot twist until I got on Reddit and a lotta ppl were screaming like Ned Stark's head just got cut off, or like it's some wild-ass writer's room shenanigans where the character is suddenly a diff person for no discernible reason. Like have you seen this man? Do you know where you are? Bc they’ve been dropping hints throughout the show. Case in point:

a) Little Nina and all that talk about her Sergei ahem it's Serge and his overwhelming enthusiasm for butt stuff and Vincent Cassel try to convince me Sr. Cassel wasn’t a childhood crush of Frenchie’s or someth and that’s why it’s his safe word. You can’t

b) this time he planted a fat smooch on Hughie’s face after finding out he leaked the compound V tip to the press (bonus points for his attempt to make out with mm before getting a no-homo hard pass)

c) this deep, abiding love of The Golden Girls this is unequivocally the gayest thing on the list

d) how he turned tricks in mad NYC before Little Nina locked that mf in a chastity belt and held him hostage by his penis he went to ‘work’ for Nina. -> Disclaimer: this is not to imply that queer ppl’s participation in sex work is bc they’re hypersexual. This is here to point out queer coding, as lgbtqia+ ppl are more at-risk for mental health issues stemming from severe trauma, food and housing insecurity, and addiction, often without access to the care they need to recover. So sex work becomes a viable vocation to survive bc unlike a regular 9-5, it’s more conducive to untreated mental health issues and substance use also it’s an easier market to get into than arms dealing or contract killing

e) this throuple arrangement btwn him, Cherie and Justin

f) His attempts to…er broaden mm’s horizons ?

g) the evident lack of knowledge or interest or acumen for this mysterious sportsball of which mm speaks of but he’ll still go on that dumb golf bachelor trip bc he loves his fraaand

h) this fondness for Eurotrash raves and dancing

And look, I might get it if they sprung it on us. But this shit has been since the beginning. The earliest indicator being ep 2 of S1 — THE FIRST EP HE’S IN. Hughie asks what it’s like to kill someone and Frenchie waxes poetic about his first hit (just before ominously dropping, "I carry them all with me" buried the lead on that one to Hughie's horror but to the delight of bbygirllovers like myself everywhere) and well, I think the evidence here speaks for itself

Like the dichot— nay, Bichotomy of talking about how mindblowingly hot this chick is whilst, in the same breath, gushing over her outfit. Okay I’m sure there’s a token straightmale who can id high-end designer brands on sight. I’m sure that unicorn exists somewhere, right, cuz humans contain multitudes. But this man? He just a bipan butterfly. So those who felt blindsided by Frenchie gettin’ dicked down, oh you beautiful, naive, sophisticated newborn babies. If not spelled out, it was so heavily implied, I saw the fling with whatshisname with the murdered fam whose name I’m too lazy to Goog and was like, “hm yes, the math is indeed mathing, these calculayshuns are correct”

Like u thot a mf dressed like this??? was straight ?

Mans is in a scoopneck bunny crop top that looks straighr from the juniors section of Forever21 with plaid pants and fuckingsjs suspenders iconic so to think he'd nary tarried in sausage-central before, well ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Okay, so I'm just now finding out that Frenchie Is canonically bi In Season 4 and apparently, a lot of people are surprised/pissed off by this??

Like, bro was In a whole ass polyamorous relationship with Cherie & another dude In Season 1 and y'all are fucking SURPRISED that he's bi?? HUH??

PLUS, BRO LITERALLY GAVE HUGHIE A FULL-MOUTH KISS TWO DIFFERENT TIMES IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY??

I'm honestly more surprised that they didn't make this official back In Season 1 since It was so obvious
