serpent & eve

tbh it’s funny to see people on here legitimately claim that they are appalled by anyone who romanticizes villainous men. you hate that and you’re willingly on [tumblr]? that’s like going into a KFC and getting mad that you see some fried chicken. you’re in the middle of the villain loving capital™️ of the internet, pal. if you’re that bothered… just go somewhere else. go make yourself a nice Threads account.

Ooo I love this! Motivating me to bump this series up on my TBR list. 😯

HEY that's MY emotional support morally ambiguous misunderstood full of trauma touch starved yearning for love drenched in blood responsible for numerous atrocities comfort character who is TRYING & u will TREAT them with RESPECT

my favourite thing about The Boys is that the two characters who personify the peak of Americanism and the peak of Britishness are both portrayed by New Zealanders

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a dark lord in possession of great power must be in want of a consort with light powers willing to rule the world by his side.

This is where I stop the rewatch. While they’re still happy

no but the thing is, when the hero falls in love with the villain she is falling in love with the darkest parts of herself. she is owning her shadow and the owning makes her stronger. it is not about whether a ship is toxic or romanticising abuse because it’s not about two individuals. the struggle is not one between two people, just like the love is not between two people. when the hero falls in love with the villain she is loving herself. when she loves herself she is stronger, better, able to transform darkness instead of running from it. at the moment of loving, a person changes. the loved changes. and the love of the villain changes the hero. it’s all about this, don’t you see?

go ahead and tell me that soggy bond does not look like Anya's MOST ELEGANT teacher.
