"We curse the rain when it falls upon our heads, yet without it we should starve. The world needs rain … and slaves. You make a face, but it is true. Consider Qarth. In art, music, magic, trade, all that makes us more than beasts, Qarth sits above the rest of mankind as you sit at the summit of this pyramid … but below, in place of bricks, the magnificence that is the Queen of Cities rests upon the backs of slaves. Ask yourself, if all men must grub in the dirt for food, how shall any man lift his eyes to contemplate the stars? If each of us must break his back to build a hovel, who shall raise the temples to glorify the gods? For some men to be great, others must be enslaved." He was too eloquent for her. Dany had no answer for him, only the raw feeling in her belly. "Slavery is not the same as rain," she insisted. "I have been rained on and I have been sold. It is not the same. No man wants to be owned." Daenerys III, ADwD

I love how after Xaro is waxing lyrical trying to justify slavery and Dany simply goes:

I thought we were going to Gotham.. why are we in gag city

the fact that literally all SCP games out there are just generic survival horror projects and that there's like basically nothing that actually utilizes the absolutely fuckhuge and extremely richly detailed (completely free to use in whatever way you want) world to tell an actually compelling story or even just do like literally any setting that isn't inside one of the facilities is genuinely such a tragedy. Give me a plot set amongst the rural Sarkics of like early 20th century Russia. Do a mystery/detective-style game set inside the academies of three Portlands. VA-11-HALL-A but you're a librarian inside the wanderer's library. UIU strategy game where you constantly encounter fucked up shit and have to use your very limited knowledge about the world you're in and even more limited funds to try and decide what incidents are worth investigating and how you deal with them like I am literally on my hands and knees begging. There's so so so much potential in this world that's just going completely unexplored when it comes to games pleeeease just do something other than escape from site 19 #1547786544 I'm actually starving here.

Cate Dunlap as a mirror to Homelander and Butcher

! REWRITE OF AN OLDER POST !

Cate and Homelander share a similar origin of isolation and emotional deprivation during their most formative years. Homelander was raised in a lab, shaped into the perfect product - a shiny toy to sell to the masses, the American dream embodied. He was surrounded by the sterile company of doctors and researchers.

"To protect you. That's always job one at Vought, isn't it? Protect our most profitable asset?....You don't understand. The thing about cross-breeding dogs, you get the right genes, you can get a perfect creation. But it doesn't matter how perfect they are. It's not enough. When I raise subjects without their mothers, they become violent. Aggressive. Downright hateful. You should have been raised in a home with a family who loved you. Not in a cold lab with doctors."

John, before becoming The Homelander, had no mother to speak of - instead, he had tutors who would quiz him on American culture. He sought comfort from them as he would from a mother because they were prevalent feminine figures in his everyday life, capable of filling that role. In a sense, he was trying to create a makeshift family out of the staff, with Dr. Vogelbaum as the cruel and distant paternal figure and the tutors as his caring maternal figures.

"Uh today we had another incident. But this time the subject was not driven by anger but by something else altogether. I told Dr. Vogelbaum that the subject was obviously suffering from isolation induced depression but he didn't respond. He just told me to find another tutor."

[It’s good to note that this replacement of something as valuable as a "family member" (in John's eyes) could have also been formative in Homelander’s opinion of humans as replaceable toys - a subconscious thought that slowly grew stronger over the years.]

Both were locked away behind a steel door. Cate’s mother even took away the warmth of human touch from her.

"Keep your distance. And don't let her touch you."

This is where Shetty and Stillwell come into play, both disguising themselves as pseudo-"motherly" figures. Shetty and Stillwell sought to wield control over them, using them for their own goals, only to meet violent ends at their hands. Shetty and Stillwell play their roles in different ways and manipulate differently, but both offer praise and affection while exploiting inner desires and conflicts. They build trust, and when that trust is broken, Homelander and Cate feel betrayed, becoming unstable and angry. They slip from their grasp, and that control no longer works.

Cate holds hatred for humans, believing they see her and fellow supes as nothing more than "products" to market and sell to the masses for profit. Homelander views humans as disposable - nothing but ants to step on, toys to entertain himself with. Yet he still needs their love and adoration, a way to satisfy his own carnal, [human] need for approval, a lingering effect of being crafted into a "product" from an early age.

Cate and Butcher are extremists in their views, driving away their closest friends and allies with their radical beliefs about supes and humans. They are two sides of the same coin. Butcher is haunted by the death of Rebecca, while Cate is tormented by guilt for pushing Luke to his breaking point.
