One of the hardest things about writing superlantern is figuring out what’s the deal with clois in this universe…they’re literally soulmates….why is clark with hal and not lois….

#ily clois <3 #i’m writing this bc i’m considering giving lois mayson drake as her gf in this superlantern one shot i’m writing #as a throwaway line but still #bc like as much as I like superlantern I think I write them as one of those couples #who kinda just come out of left field. like both in-universe and meta speaking #like clois is Meant To Be ykwim.#romantic or platonic Lois is always going to be an extremely important person in Clark’s life. maybe The Most important person.#so in superlantern fics I always think abt her and her dating history with clark #and if they didn’t work out why? and if clark and hal work out why is their relationship different from clark and lois’v #oooh wait hold on I’m thinking #one of the main tensions in Clois relatiomship (at least in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman)#is that Clark is kinda flighty. it’s not his fault bc being Superman is a really time consuming job that he needs to be able to go whenever #but maybe in this universe Lois and Clark date but they realize that that issue is smth they cant get past #<- esp w Lois’ issues w her military dad putting work above her as a child #so like they can be best friends and they’re fucking great as best friends #but that can be my reason for why they both choose not to date #bc this clark doesn’t figure out how to have a more stable Superman-Clark balance and he thinks that lois deserves better #whereas with hal #hal is even MORE busy than clark always getting called off to space and shit #so i think they would both be extremely understanding whenever one of them #needs to leave #as for Lois/Mayson (do they have a ship name? this show is from the early 90s surely someone must’ve thought of one)#they’re character foils. need I say more.#ok but no fr like they’re character foils in the sense that they were written to be polar opposite love interests for Clark #Lois loves Superman and likes Clark #(in a super reductionist oversimplified manner of speaking)#(really Lois is infatuated with Superman and has a slowburn with Clark)#whereas Mayson is immediately taken with Clark but disapproves of Superman’s modus operandi #simu's two cents #lois & clark: the new adventures of superman
