Lyrics from Pesticides by Moselle

Rinn is my fave oc to give the horrors to. She's so little guy core. I scribbled the lines for this in about an hour in mspaint and then spent a week lovingly rendering it because I guess that's just who I am as a person.

The hand on the phone is the wrong way on purpose actually. she just holds her phone on the wrong side like a freak.

Lex Luthor (Smallville) AU Chapter 9

Lex gasped, jolting upright. 

“Lex!” 

The male was the first thing he saw when his vision cleared. 

“Clark..” 

Lex blinked a few times, and finally he could make out everything. He was back here at Kent Farm. In Clark’s house. 

“(Y/N)!!” 

Lex practically jumped to his feet, looking left and right. 

You were nowhere to be found. 

“No, this is wrong. Where is she..WHERE IS SHE!!” 

“Lex calm down, you just passed out. We need to get you to a hospital and get you checked out.” Martha and Jonathan were standing at a distance looking just as worried. 

Lex was still on a rant.

“I came back here, she brought me back so she must have come back too. I just need to find her. I need to find where she landed. “ Lex started searching the house, and Jonathan became defensive when Lex rushed out, heading for the barn. They all followed behind. 

“Lex, wait, stop!!” Clark called. He made it all the way into the barn, trying to search for a sound, or a mark. Anything that would help him find you. 

Lex felt turned around, and when Jonathan got into the barn, he could feel his patience waning. 

“Lex, I want you off my property now.” He wasn’t sure what this was, but he couldn’t take a chance of Lex finding something he shouldn’t.

“Dad, can’t you see he’s hurt. “ 

“He’s right Jonathan, he must be delirious. “ Lex rubbed his head in irritation. 

“I’m not delirious!! I know everything.” That stopped them all cold, and Lex finally took a calming breath. Him running around like a headless chicken wasn’t proving his case.

“What do you mean you know everything?” Jonathan asks cautiously. 

Lex used the table behind him to lean on, running a hand over his head. 

“I know your secret Clark. I know about Krypton, the Fortress, the ship, your powers, I know everything.” 

There was an array of emotion that ran over all their faces at his confession. What they didn’t expect is how broken Lex looked. Jonathan had always feared Lex would find out, but this was not how he saw it playing out. He’d just made the discovery of a lifetime, but he looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here. 

So long he’d been searching for his purpose. In the last few weeks of being with you, he felt like he found it. Found where he was supposed to be. What he was supposed to do. His destiny was to protect you. 

“I don’t know what happened, but I was there, at the Fortress. I was with her and now she’s gone. She’s somewhere alone blaming herself. I have to protect her. I have to save her, Clark.” 

They were all still recovering from the earlier situation, but Clark could see how hopeless Lex looked. Above all, he was still his friend. Throwing caution to the wind, Clark stepped forward.

“Who are you looking for? What happened to her?” 

“She’s you, not you you, but another version of you. I know this doesn’t make sense but she did this. In her reality I got hurt. I think the guilt of the accident caused some kind of rift in reality. Clark for almost a month I’ve been in another dimension. Just like this one except your genders are switched.” 

Lex was right, that did make no sense. 

“So in this reality, I’m a girl?” 

Lex nodded. 

“That’s weird, I can’t imagine being a girl. I’m a guy.” 

The ironic sense of deja vu hit Lex at that very moment. He’d definitely had this conversation before. 

“It doesn’t matter! You need to take me to the Fortress. We need to talk to Jor-El and bring her back.” 

Clark was still getting used to the fact that Lex even knew about the Fortress. 

“You talked with Jor-El before. “ 

“I did. (Y/N) she was with him. He showed us the accident. It’s why she feels so guilty. If I can convince her that everything is okay, then I can help her. I need to help her.” 

Clark wasn’t sure what to make of any of this, but he felt obligated. This could have been some kind of breakdown that Lex was having. But in the event that it wasn’t, then there was the possibility of another dimension, and whoever this person was, they were in trouble. 

“Clark, you can’t be serious about trusting him, this could all be a trap.” 

“I’m telling the truth!!” Lex insisted. 

“Even if it was a lie, he already knows everything, dad. He knows my secret. “ 

There was nothing else in this for Lex. He could honestly run into town and announce it, but very few people would believe it without proof. There wasn’t a plan that Clark could spot that would be of harm to him. Because if Lex knew of his strengths, then he knew his weaknesses. Instead of exploiting it right here, he was pleading with him to go save a girl. Not just any girl, but apparently a version of Clark Kent. He wanted to protect this person. 

“Let’s go Lex.” 

There was no argument. Jonathan realized that he’d lost the battle. So as Clark and Lex took off, Jonathan couldn’t do much but pace. Because none of them could predict if this would end well.

I‘m calling it now I think Oscars going to get the stone.

A bunch of (unorganised) thoughts about an AU where Penelope never became Whistledown (i saw debates on twitter and it got my brain WORKING)

No concept of a diamond? No one is there to provoke and challenge the Queen, and Whistledown was the one to name Daphne the diamond

Daphne being forced to marry Berbrooke — it was the public humiliation that drove him away. If it had remained rumours that no one could really prove, he would have stayed.

Colin marrying Marina. Even if Penelope told him about the pregnancy he might have still married her because #HeroComplex

As a result Penelope would try to find a husband much earlier too. She does not have the Whistledown money to get new dresses behind her mother's back but perhaps Violet agrees to sponsor her since they're now officially family through Marina and Colin's marriage, and Eloise is also now debuting

The Featherington would not be ruined at the end of the first season, if anything they're in a better place with the proper connection to the Bridgertons, but they're still in debts.

No cousin Jack plot cuz one of Marina's children would become the new Lord Featherington after Archibald's death? Which still puts Colin as the de-facto head of the estate in the meantime lol

Which puts him in the perfect place to be tortured when Penelope starts to get suitors. As the new head of the family, he's the one who has to veto any suitor, after all

A less opinionated Eloise? Ultimately, it was Whistledown that reinforced her feminist beliefs upon seeing a successful woman fool the ton. Maybe she'd be more jaded and angry especially seeing her own brother force Daphne into a horrible marriage

She also never ends up meeting Theo. Neither does Penelope anyway.

No Pen and Gen friendship

Anthony marrying Edwina? Whistledown calling him a rake is one of the reasons Kate was so against him. But I think she would have clocked him anyway and would want to protect her sister so I think Kanthony is still endgame in this case. Arguably they'd get together with more ease too since Edwina wouldn't be a diamond, assuming the concept does not exist in this AU.

HOWEVER would she take an issue upon learning Anthony forced his sister to marry Berbrooke? She's very family oriented too, and maybe she'd imagine Edwina in Daphne's position.

Though "forced" is maybe a strong word, since Berbrooke ended up blackmailing the Bridgertons to get what he wants but it never would have happened if Anthony hadn't promised him Daphne's hand without consulting Daphne in the first place, so my point still stands tbh

Assuming from book plot, Benedict and Sophie would not be as lucky as Kate and Anthony without Whistledown though. Joining polin in the trenches

Philip would never know his brother's kids, and would have no reason to start some sort of correspondance with a certain someone since he is content in his recluse life

Francesca's story would be thoroughly unaffected at least

And other stuff I forgot, probably

[creedlol]

I love Batman but hate the reasons other people love. Yeah he’s cool af and everything but the aspects of him as a father figure to the Batfamily, brother to the Justice League, and the duality of him as a hero being one of the greatest but as a person him being as bad as some villains is way more fucking interesting then him being some bad ass human who can fight gods.

please spare some rwby fic recs for a new person in the fandom 🤲

Oh, I've got more than a few!

Okay, firstly, literally everything from lescousinsdangereux and explosivesky. I won't even pick out my favorites from them because literally every one of their fics are incredible. Read them all.

Next there's i'm going to make this place your home by amaranthskies. Road Trip AU. They're all soulmates, actually. This one is one of my personal favorites; the vibe is kind of unexplainable but it's such a warm story of family and love and finding oneself (and finding each other). Absolutely recommend.

Then we have The Gang Kidnaps A Child by Kablob and mylordshesacactus. This one's a If-Team-STRQ-Found-Baby-Cinder AU, because it's incredibly well-written and does a really good job of characterization, especially considering how little we know about Team STRQ in the first place.

Next is Top of the List by timeespaceandpixiedust. Bumbleby-focused; Yang meets the parents! It's literally just fluff. Blake and Yang are ridiculously sweet, Ghira and Kali are perfect, and it's a great feel-good read.

Every good fic list has got to have at least one 5+1, right? look how long this love can hold its breath by herocomplex is exactly that. Bumbleby; five times someone thinks they're together and the one time someone doesn't think so when they actually are. This one is absolutely wonderful with their dynamic and I'm always a sucker for Beacon Bees. Read it.

And then, last but absolutely not least, there's baby, let's take the long way home by ProfessorSpork. Set very exclusively in mid-v6 when the team are all temporarily living in Saphron Arc's house, Blake and Yang are left behind one night to take care of the baby on their own. Pining and feelings---beyond worthy of v6 Bumbleby---ensue.

Have fun!

And once again Jeremiah is hotter than Conrad. Moody broody toxic masculinity show no emotion herocomplex chosenchild men are a huge ick and the problem with all men today

i've seen people write stuff like damon girls are now conrad girls and I just want to fight someone because...

conrad - emotional, moody, hero complex (will handle things on his own), first love choice, inherently more romantic compared to jere (who is more a fun type idk), first choice, "preferred child" (it is heavily implied jeremiah is forgotten in some aspects or "not as good")

jeremiah - extroverted, the have fun type the dance around type, the live a little type, second choice, pining (he likes her she likes his brother???), less popular/successful child (second child, not as good at sports or academics idk, better relationship w mom compared to dad if I read that right)

most importantly i have always been team damon, and I adore jeremiah

Lex Luthor (Smallville) Chapter 9

P.S: This picture has nothing to do with Smallville, I just thought it was really cute!! 

“Whenever I assume you can’t get any more incredible you prove me wrong.”

It feels so good to have Lex in the know. Although he’s still in the dark about Clark’s powers, you know that isn’t your secret to tell.

“Well thank you. Despite what you know, there’s still parts of my abilities that I haven’t mastered.”

“What can you do?” He looks so intrigued, and it makes you all warm inside. The fact that he’s not watching you like a freak, or monster, it’s the best feeling.

“So far other than running, all I can really do is phase through objects.”

“You’re kidding.” You shake your head.

“Totally serious. You're sort of to blame for that.” the second it slips, you cover your mouth, blushing. Lex looks more invested now. “By the redness of your cheeks I take it I wasn’t supposed to hear that.”

“N-Not really.” you mutter. You can’t believe you’d let it slip so quickly too.

“Now I’m interested. “

“It’s really not a big deal.”

“Surely it must be, you’re turning into a tomato.”

“Am not!” Lex takes your hand.

“If you don't tell me I’ll have to use other measures.” He smirks, and it just adds to your already rapid heartbeat.

“It’s hormonal okay! Are you happy!” His brows furrowed in amusement.

“M-My phasing first happened that night when you kissed me. I-I think it happened because I was...because you..”

“Because you were aroused.” You groan in embarrassment, looking away from him and Lex laughs loudly. “You’re adorable.” He kisses your cheek. “ I guess that explains why you ran off that night.”

You grumble. “It’s your fault, why’d you have to be such a good kisser.”

“Ah, a crime I fully take responsibility for.”

You look at him, admiring every little detail. Lex is far different from what you expected when you first met him.

“Something wrong?” You shake your head at his question, pressing a kiss to his lips. It’s meant to be a quick one. You pull back for a second, but you can’t seem to help yourself. You lean back in, deepening the kiss this time. Lex follows your lead. He’s used to being the one to make the first move. You’re always so shy around him, and it just adds to your charm. But he doesn’t mind you being forward sometimes. It was nice. You pull back after a few heated seconds, biting down on your lips. When you slip into his lap however, he’s a little more than surprised.

You’re once again watching him, more specifically his neck. Lex chuckles, because you look like you’re thinking pretty hard about something.

“Everything alright?” You nod slowly, cheeks flushed.

“M-My friends at school said that when you have a boyfriend that you should mark him. I-I asked her and she said that I should give you a…a hickey. But I don’t know how..” Your face is cherry red, and Lex is doing his best not to completely pounce on you.

“How is it possible that she’s this cute?”

“Would you like me to show you-” 

You lean forward leaving a kiss on his neck, and he pulls in a breath. You lean into him, and his hands tighten just a fraction on your hips. Your lips brush his skin in the most heavenly way. A part of him wonders if you were joking about not knowing, because you’re pretty good at it. You nibble lightly on the spot, and Lex lets out a curse under his breath. You tense, soothing it with a kiss.

“I-I’m sorry..” you mumbled shakily.

Had you been doing it wrong. You were positive you were doing everything she’s instructed you too. You move back, admiring the mark, then your gaze shifts to Lex. It’s only when you see his eyes that you realize the curse wasn’t due to pain, but pleasure. You swallow.

“Was that okay?”

He really doesn’t believe you even ask. You were just too much for him sometimes.

Lex doesn’t reply, just kisses you.

Somehow you understand.
