ohhh 24 on the ask game for Homelander? 👀

thank you for the ask!! this one's so fun

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

unfortunately i couldn't just choose one, so here are five in no particular order!

1. kendall roy, succession -- for the record i think roman's got his share of HL-like issues (and tom has quite a few unsettling mannerisms in common with him) but kendall wins out. "i am like a cog built to fit only one machine" 😫

2. tyrion lannister, asoiaf -- debated between him and cersei here but i think tyrion is more HL-esque. his thirst for love, his relationships with shae (many shades of HL and madelyn there) and jaime destroyed by dishonesty, the confidence that he must know best and alienating everyone around him as a result, capacity for immense cruelty, the unending isolation. tywin and edgar are also in many ways the same guy

3. joe goldberg, you -- mommy issues, chronic inability to be normal about women, dangerous devotion to his loved ones... also the DID plot in s4 of you was very mirrorlander

4. regina george, mean girls -- he is so catty for no reason. why must he wage psychological warfare against his coworkers

5. the creature, frankenstein -- nobody understands but homelander should be a tumblrina based on this alone. his whole thing with vogelbaum? the monstrosity inherent in being the strongest person in the world, doomed to watch humanity from afar but never able to connect with them? "i have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. if i cannot satisfy the one, i will indulge the other" ??? @ kripke and co when will mary shelley be compensated

bungo stray dogs is a piece of media thats so filled with tumblr energy. Its like a collective mass hallucination of famous author fanfiction with just the right amount of derangedness, mental illness, generational trauma and existential crisis. Each and every character gives major gender envy. Everything is enemies to lovers to enemies to freinds to lovers to enemies. Everything the characters do is high-key illegal and everyone agrees that old guys in the government r useless except for this one triple spy who's sleep deprived to a fault. There is a guy who is chronically online and absolutely cannot leave his futon. There's another guy who could write novels in days and is more attached to a racoon than the rest of the world. bram stoker listens to spotify. bsd is the true tumblr-esque media.

Edit: and as it often appears bsd characters become each other's blorbos. They wanna hug each other they wanna see them going through the undying pain of human existence they spin them around in a mental microwave or smth

Edit edit: also tumblrinas love literary analysis and bsd is full of literary motifs

ranpoe actually foils fyolai bcs when poe had his mind set on killing ranpo he had a moment of realization that he wouldn't know how to live in a world w/o him, and several chapters after he became besties w/ ranpo, but nikolai already knows that fyodor is his intimate friend, there will never be another person like fyodor for him, yet still decided to kill him, bcs he "wants freedom more than any kind of joy"

Kacchan is the only thing Izuku allows himself to have

and it's why Izuku’s always vague when it came to the intensity of his feelings about Kacchan & why Katsuki at first instinctively pushed Izuku away. 

idk if anyone has done this before, but anyways here's my fav aspect abt BakuDeku's relationship: Izuku's possessiveness over Kacchan and Kacchan only.

So I've been thinking abt Kamino a lot, and specifically two scenes: a) Izuku shouting "Give him back to me!" to Mr. Compress, and b) Izuku's devastated scream after Bakugo was taken away.

Izuku is an extremely selfless person, with only the heart for "saving people". That was part of the reason why he was almost immune to Katsuki's bad attitude towards him: dude doesn't think about himself a whole lot, alright. He's just kind of out of it. An observer. He wants to focus on his own feelings much less than he cares about others.

When have you seen Izuku do something for himself? Sure, he wanted to become a hero, he wrote 13 notebooks' worth of hero analyses. But this may as well only be an exertion of his obsession abt quirks & strategies, because despite all the talk about his dream, he never actually thought to exercise and improve his body strength before he got the OFA.

Here's an idea: Izuku doesn't know how to do things for himself, unless given a larger purpose. He takes little care of his own ambition before taking the world's weight onto his shoulders.

And he is subconsciously avoiding any selfish thinking, especially any private feelings he has about Kacchan, platonic or otherwise. 

He doesn't know what has triggered the blackwhip; can't remember what Kacchan told him before almost sacrificing himself to save him; doesn't remember whatever made him go berserk in battle. He acted like none of this emotional turmoil he experienced happened at all and went back to being this people-saving, smiling sunshine every. single. time. Even after Kamino, his first thought was Kouta, except that after Todoroki mentioned Katsuki, the light returned to his eyes and he finally broke down. 

Izuku actively avoids thinking about anything that causes strong emotions to erupt in him, yes, but more importantly, even when he is recounting these experiences to others, he omits whatever part that concerns Kacchan (i.e. when he told his classmates “I couldn’t save what was in front of me” - right, but Izuku, why are you describing Kacchan as if he is just anyone else instead of the person you have looked up to for all your life?)

He doesn’t allow himself to be selfish, to be partial, to treat Kacchan as somone special even when that’s what he does (notice how he’s always going like “Kacchan and the others”). 

Let’s look at what he said to Mr. Compress again: “Give him back to me!”

Didn’t he almost sound like a child who was robbed of his favorite toy? 

Why would he feel such possessiveness over Kacchan, though? 

Kacchan is Izuku’s Symbol of Victory, right? Izuku follows him, admires him, idolizes him (”closer to me than All Might, this amazing person in my life”). Here it is: Kacchan has been somewhat of an idol to Izuku, the incarnation of victory. 

Kacchan was part of Izuku’s definition of heroism; and heroism, to Izuku, is almost like a religious belief. He draws strength from it, uses it to cope with the pain of being quirkless, and admires All Might as one might do any deity. 

I’m going to go a little further here: when one prays to whatever deity one believes in, one is often praying to this concept inside one’s head, and taking what one needs from this private connection. Similarly, Izuku feels possessive over Kacchan because the latter to him is something of a god-like character, from the attachment to whom Izuku draws his desire to win. To Izuku, Kacchan is not just the Symbol of Victory. It’s his Symbol of Victory. 

Katsuki is his. His sun, his god, his drive to win. 

Izuku, who is so selfless that he rarely wants things for himself, doesn’t want to acknowledge that he can, in fact, be a little selfish when it comes to Kacchan. 

Meanwhile, as Mr. Compress had stated, Bakugo doesn't belong to anybody. And with such a big ego Bakugo would hate to be anything but independent. Something about Izuku made him want to keep his childhood friend at arm's length; he felt as if Izuku was stronger than him, looking down on him - and where does he get this feeling? Because Izuku offered to help him once at four? Stood up to him a couple of times?

There is another dimension to it, I think: it was also because Izuku had always followed him. And Katsuki, being the kind to always over-think, could mistake Izuku's possessiveness for Izuku seeing himself above him.

If an independent person ever finds himself on the receiving end of such possessiveness, he would feel chained, scared, and pissed off. Don't come, Deku, I don't want anything to do with you because the way you stick with me as if I belong to you, it almost chains me down. 

Thanks for bearing with my shipping brainrot xD

My #1 post of 2022

being invested in bsd is such a unique experience bcs u watch the anime and think oh theres mafia and detectives and terrorists this shit's so hardcore and then u open bsd wan and they r kindergarteners and magical girls and princesses and ur just like. look at my cute little uwus <3 and then u read the manga and was hit with like three different schools of philosophical thoughts and suddenly become interested in classical novels with rlly deep themes and start to develop an existential crisis. its like yeah i watched an anime abt super powers and it all went downhill from there lol

3, 11, 12 for the ask game <3

hiiiiii!!!

3. Favorite musical artist/group you started listening to this year?

hmm probably steam powered giraffe!!! my lovely wife showed me them and i'm just Obsessed with the theatricality of their work. the costuming, the makeup, the music itself being very theatre-esque - not to MENTION the transness of it all. lovely. if you want to get into them, the first songs i heard were "honeybee" and "brass goggles" which are two ends of their spectrum, which i ADORE.

but as a theatre kid, the Musical Of The Year for me was company!!! i watched it on a whim one day and have been Deeply Obsessed ever since. i have been referred to as an amy/jamie by multiple different people and it is objectively true, but i definitely Feel like i could do bobby so well (in the sense that all of my friends have Relationships Going On and i'm just also there). also "the ladies who lunch" (ESPECIALLY ms camila mendes's version) has permanently changed my life and one day i WILL perform it at a very uncomfortable rehearsal dinner for the local bi4bi couple and EVERYONE will have to deal with it.

11. Something you want to do again next year?

i took part in my first poetry reading this year and that's something i really want to get more into next year!!! i will have a Lot more access to creative spaces like that once i move and i can't wait to explore them!!! also i've really been getting into journalling and filling out self-help books so i want to Keep That Energy going into the new year.

12. Talk about a new friend you made this year

i have made SO MANY new friends this year it is quite insane. one i shall talk about is my beloved tumblr/pinterest/spotify mutual ash notanothercauliflower. we initially bonded over being tumblrinas irl and now i have slept on his floor multiple times!!! ash is genuinely so kind and intelligent and funny and pretty and has SUCH good takes on media such as spn and torchwood <3 also a BANGER music taste. also i love bullying him for being a gayass frank iero kinnie <3

Favorite food and are they a morning person for walter?

Sashimi or beef tartare! There's just something about eating luxurious, fresh food that really makes him feel happy to the core. (I can't imagine that that the farm fed him very well. Or extremely fresh food. I can see there being a lot of protein bars and stuff like that.) And other than that he's a slow eater and those dishes suits that habit (another damage from the farm. He'd make his meals last for as long as possible to just kinda escape mentally for a while.) he just really enjoys more picky and share-friendly dishes. He hasn't tried it but he'd probably really enjoy spanish tapas. __ Walter doesn't enjoy sleep (Nightmares, anxiety, loneliness, etc. ) , and like most people who don't get enough sleep he really doesn't enjoy waking up. He's generally very disoriented and grumpy in the mornings. Very much a "don't talk to me before i've had my morning coffee" 2014 esque tumblrina. I think once (/if lol) he starts sharing his bed with a partner or partners he'll not hate it as much. He'd still be slow to wake up properly and all that, but he'd be a lot more relaxed and happy. :-) I'm bored! Please send me questions for Walter! <3
