why did you start shipping deeplander? (love ur art btw u inspired many of my own artworks)
Honestly, who knows. Tastes are random and weird — it's all about fate. I used to be a Marvel/DC fan, and this show was something new. At first I watched like a normal person, seeing everything through Starlight's eyes. I quickly got into Homelander as this complicated character, but I just liked his scenes with women like Madelyn or Maeve — analyzing his psychology, guessing where the plot would go. I hadn't gone full slash-mode yet… not until that scene where Deep's fans fingered his gills.
If Homelander controls my brain and heart, the upper half, then Deep controls my lower half. Initially I was just like 'fine, I'll ship them for fun,' but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense… Of course, a few really good fanfic on the Chinese internet played a big part in that too. Anyway, the two of them together just makes me feel so hot and worked up…
And by the end, Deep was literally the only one who never betrayed Homelander. I can rest in peace now.
Worth mentioning — before I got into this ship, I hadn't been obsessively shipping anything for over two years, nor had I been drawing. Back then I was hooked on an MMORPG that ate up almost all my free time. But The Boys was so good that I skipped my daily game grind for several days. Then right after that, I went on a trip and didn't touch the game for another whole week — I just finished watching the show in my hotel room. So The Boys directly kicked my gaming addiction and helped me pick up my paintbrush again…
