#SUPERMAN HELPS EVERYONE

I AM LOSING MY MIND:
i grew up in WL, indiana with the phrase "SuperMan Helps EveryOne", whICH I THOUGHT WAS COMMON, PRACTICAL, MIDWESTERN PRACTICE BUT APPARENTLY AFTER READING THROUGH THE TAGS OF LITERALLY 800+ REBLOGS THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE REFERENCE TO THIS
I READ THROUGH 800 REBLOGS AND IF I HAVE TO READ THE WORD "HOMES" AGAIN I WILL SCREAM
SuperMan Helps EveryOne is the superior (lol) phrase bc it literally gives the lakes in order west to east / left to right, and is closer to their actual names: (superior, michigan, huron, erie, ontario) - sorry huron
also, everyone from the midwest in the notes was like "all 5, duh"
I was recently asked to name 3 of the Great Lakes during a mental eval and now I'm curious about just how standard it actually is for people to know them, so
#best tags i saw:#yes i know those bitches#but yeah i know all about those bastards#for being some of the largest freshwater bodies in the world they're kinda irrelevant if you're not right next to them lmao#for some of my own:#the great lakes are like the nautical entrance to canada like we be sharing those waters with canada!!!!#i'm still literally seething. full of ire anger rage you name it. at the fact that my phrase was not represented#oh also in the tags everyone was like âahhh forgot huronâ but i never forget huron bc we lived on huron street when i was like 6 years old#op perhaps they were just trying to see how well you could recall? maybe it wasn't about getting it right but more about the process#also lake michigan and its sliver touching indiana is the only thing that keeps IN from being landlocked#SUPER MAN HELPS EVERY ONE#SUPERMAN HELPS EVERYONE#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is the equivalent of screaming that i cannot producw bc it is 2am

seeing people talk about the new animated superman show reminds me that the issue superman's had for the last few decades in mainstream media, which is that too many dudebros assume the point of his character is about his "power". like "oooh look how scary he could be, if superman were real he'd be soooo dangerous" and missing the real truth. the ultimate truth. the actual truth:
superman works because he is a fundamentally very similar character to spider-man.
#my adventures with superman#superman#spider-man#thoughts of loog#what i mean is their nature of âwith great power comes great responsibilityâ and âno crisis too smallâ have an immense amount of overlap#they exist as power fantasies yes#but the power fantasy isn't doing whatever you want#it's having the power to help anyone and everyone you can#no matter how small the problem seems

Danny, the Young Justice member snippet nr 1
these snippets aren't connected in anyway but just some little scenes I came up with, everyone is welcome to build up on them if they want to
unrelated snippet nr 2, unrelated snippet nr 3(?)
âThank you, young man,â elderly man, a civilian, said to Phantom, squeezing his shoulder when the boy transported him away from the battle into an established safe zone. Hero froze for a moment, blinking rapidly.
âYouâre⌠welcome?â he squeaked and flew back to fight the first chance he got, still dazed.
He was lost in thought the whole time he worked after that, rescuing some teen girls too curious, brave and stupid to run away on their own when they still had a chance. If Kid Flash didnât warn him, one of the goons would land a really nasty hit, which should not have happened. Phantom had one of the best combat spatial awareness out of all of them. He couldnât always react in time, but it almost never escaped him that an attack was coming.
Something was wrong. Really wrong.
That was why, as soon as the fight was over, Kaldur approached his teammate. He saw Robin doing the same.
Phantom, to give him credit where credit is due, didnât fly away from the scene first given chance like always. Instead he sat in the space where they were transporting civilians, hand on his right shoulder, unseeing eyes locked on some cracks in the pavement. His mouth was moving without making a sound. He was covered in dust, like all of them.
âPhantom,â Kaldur asked through Mindlink âare you injured?â
Ghost flinched and turned his head, giving the leader a shaky smile. His eyes were still distant.
âYeah, no, Iâm alright. Sorry I was so out of it. Thanks for the rescue Wally, "the boy replied but his eyes slowly turned back to where he was staring before. Other than that, he hadn't moved.
âPhantom, whatâs wrong?â Robin tried, both out loud and through Mindlink. Now the whole Team was concerned.
âIt's nothing, really,â Phantom answered with a distant tone.â Just⌠something weird happen and I need a moment to wrap my head around itâ
âWhat was it?â Artemis asked bluntly before Conner did the Mindlink equivalent of smack on the back of a head. It was a bit weird to see Conner as the sensitive one. Black Canary was doing a great job with helping him over his anger.
âLet him process it on his own before you demand answers,â he growled.
âAdult civilian thanked me,â the ghost mumbled with awe at the same time. For a moment everyone froze in muted shock.
This explained so much while being so confusing. Yes, civilians tended to do it. It felt great. It didnât warrant such an intense reaction.
âThat's nice,â Mâgann sent carefully after a long moment.
âMhm⌠Really niceâ
Kaldur slowly put a hand on the arm Phantom wasnât holding, to help ground him a bit. Despite his efforts, the ghost flinched under his touch.
âWe need to go to a bioship and back to the Mountain. You should probably come with usâ
He expected a fight, he had various ideas how to convince younger boy but instead he heard quiet, small âSureâ
Ghost didnât move for a long moment.
âPhantom?â Robin asked and again, the response was a violent flinch.
âSorry, sorry. I know itâs dumb Iâm just-â he transmitted some sort of lowering melody that Kaldur didnât know â-right nowâ
âDid you just send Windows XP shutting down noise?!â Wally yelled, exasperated.Â
âHe did,â Robin snorted. Artemis laughed from one of the surrounding rooftops.
Phantomâs lips twitched with a minimal smile but it disappeared before it fully set. His brows furrowed as he stood up, shrugging Kaldurâs hand off in the process.
âIs this publicly known that Iâm a ghost? Like, outside Amity? Or do people just assume Iâm a meta?â
âAround 3% of discourse about you is âalive or notâ-âRobin stated after few seconds of searching n his wrist computer â-with people saying stuff like âIâve seen him breatheâ but everyone else responds with some variation of âAre you really going to tell kid how heâs supposed to cope with being dead? Really Jared?â and the general consensus is that you are in fact a ghost. More people wonder what pronounce you use. Why?â
Phantom said nothing. Kaldur exchanged worried glances with Robin and called everyone else to meet by the bioship. It was a successful but tiring mission and they all wanted nothing more than to relax. After debrief because of course Batman would find things that couldâve gone better.
Mâgann and Wally were already waiting by the time they got there. Martian was stiff and looked like she was focusing on some really hard task. She almost shut down the Mindlink.
âPhantom, your thoughts are really loudâ she whispered out loud âLouder than normal ghost thoughts. Iâm trying not to listen or to transmit it on Mindlink but itâs pretty hard. Whatâs wrong?â
Kaldur remembered the conversation they all had almost right after Phantom joined the Team. As it turned out, ghosts as âthe beings of emotionsâ had thoughts that Martians could read but on different frequencies than living, whatever that meant, and they were really loud. Like they were screaming on the top of their lungs.
Asphalt creaked ominously when Conner jumped down to join them.
âSorryâ
Mâgann relaxed minutely before she got visibly angry.
âI donât mean âshield everythingâ Phantom, itâs extremely unhealthy, explain whatâs wrong?!â
âSeriously guys, youâre all overreacting. Itâs not that deep. I'm just weirded out a bitâ
âYour brain was screaming âIt doesnât make sense!â on repeatâ Mâgann pointed out dryly, ending the Mindlink and motioned them inside the bioship right after Artemis scrambled down a fire escape and joined them.
Phantom skillfully ignored the concerned gazes of every member of the Team other than Mâgann who at least pretended to focus on flying. He looked like he was trying to figure out some really complicated puzzle.
âWhat did this civilian say, exactly?â Robin asked, breaking the silence with a surprising amount of caution in his voice.
âHe said âThank you, young manâ and squeezed my shoulder,â the ghost explained with a wistful and a bit hazy smile. It still didn't justify such an intense reaction âI can still feel it. Tâwas nice. Not strong enough to hurt but⌠sure? I didnât do anything, really, and he most likely knows I'm a ghost, but he thanked me anyway. No senseâ
Halfway through Robin seemed to get an idea and once again started typing away on his computer. Phantom sunk into his seat more comfortably, but he quickly returned to distressed overthinking.
âPeople rarely make sense,â Conner pointed out.
âNah, you just can't people yetâ Wally grinned between bites of his granola bar.
âNah, you're just an extrovert with superpowers. People make no sense,â Artemis decided in a way that ended all arguments âBut gratitude after rescue is pretty typicalâŚâ
âNot for Phantomâ
âWhat do you mean, Robin?â
âHe means, I'm a ghost, Kaldur,â Phantom started âOf course they're not thanking me. I'm an âodd, manipulative and evil manifestation of post-living consciousness on ectoplasmâ and âalways hostile towards living but lack the sentience to comprehend moral aspects of my behaviorâ and âshould be eradicated for betterment of the living realmâ.â he recited almost cheerfully and it made something in Kaldurâs stomach twist. Judging by their faces, his teammates felt the same way.
âYou donât actually believe that, do you?â Mâgann asked carefully.
âIt doesnât matter if I believe this or not. They do. Why would anyone thank me? Especially an adult. Teens apparently decided I'm hot so they support me, which is also weird, and kids think I'm cool because of the ectoblasts and can fly. They usually gush about being saved like âomg itâs Phantomâ which is still weird but not as surreal as anyone actually thanking. But that dude was probably on retirement. He wasnât someone I would expect to have any positive interaction with. Most people his age would try to exorcize me or somethingâ
âThat certainly isnât an asterâ
âEh, Iâm fine. Most are just yelling. Problems start when anti-ghost weapons, especially guns, get on the table but I canât blame them for that one tooâ
âDude, I cannot express how far from fine this isâ
âYou deserve gratitude Phantomâ Kaldur added âYouâre doing a lot of great workâ
âIf you say soâ
âAlso, can we go back to the guns? How often do the people youâre saving try to shoot you?â Artemis asked, raising her head from inspecting her arrows.
âAmity Park is to ghost hunters what Gotham is to crime rates in the USA. Should not be counted if you want something actually similar to reality. Of course they have guns to shoot ghosts. And, let me remind you, I am a ghost-â
âI think we can talk about it another time. How do you feel, Phantom?â Mâgann interrupted from her seat, intensly not looking back at them. She once again was tense.
âStill weird as hell to be honestâ
âGood weird or bad weirdâ she pressed on. Kaldur kinda wanted to know what made her do that.
âGood⌠I think? I know a lot of emotions because I hang out with Jazz Fenton and she pshychoanalizes everyone but I have no idea what to call this. Iâm happy that he said this, ecstatic even. But Iâm still confused and cautious. Some part of me keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop, for this man to come back, after realizing Iâm evil ghost and call hunters and call me manipulative ecto-scum while looking me in the eyes and smile when Iâm shot atâ
âDid this happen? Itâs a bit too specific to believe it didnâtâ Wally announced.
âAs if only once!â Phantom laughed in an almost hysterical way.
âDonât think about it right now,â Mâgann demanded âDo you want to tell us more about the thanks you got?â
Next words Phantom whispered as if he was sharing some important, sacred secret.
âWhen he squeezed my arm, it was such a gentle gesture. Such a gentle touchâ he sounded on the verge of tears.Â
âWas it?â
âYeah... Sorry Iâm such a mess over itâ ghost muttered after a moment, trying to dry his face with his sleeve. It couldnât be too helpful nor pleasant, considering his uniform was made mostly out of rubber.
âThatâs alrightâ
âHe was so kind and like⌠cautious too, yâknow? Like he cared to not hurt me. When my dad pats me on the back, Iâm left out of breath and have to do a few steps to not fall face first on the ground and he thinks Iâm normal,â it was always a bit disturbing to hear Phantom talk about his family in present tense. They never mentioned it because they knew when it was bad idea to say something but it didnât make these instances any less unnervingâAnd this random civilian seen me as Phantom, almost invulnerable and powerful ghost and chose to be gentleâ
Nobody mentioned tears dropping from Phantomâs eyes and down his chin.
âThat sounds niceâÂ
âIt was. And I, like an idiot, stuttered âyou're welcomeâ and escaped as soon as I couldâ ghost grumbled, bringing himself back from the memory. Robin actually laughed, honest and open instead of the creepy giggle he used on all sorts of villains. Everyone else soon joined and between breaths someone choked out:
âI did this so many times. So many. I could probably buy a lollipop if I got a cent every time I did it. Maybe even twoâ
As soon as they werenât at immediate risk of laughing to death Robin decided to risk it again by starting a captivating tale of clueless Batman holding a baby, getting pie as a present, getting pie in his face and few others.
When he finished, the comfortable type of silence stretched through the Bioship. Everyone was just contently resting, maybe even taking a nap before the ordeal of listening to Batman's âEvery mistake you made today with sub and sub-sub categoriesâ lecture while keeping themselves from laughing after all the stories Robin just shared. Kaldur himself was almost asleep when Phantom whispered:
âIs it this nice the second time too?â
âYeah. Itâs even better when you start believing itâ

Dp x dc idea 102
Mr.lancer knew something was wrong. Especially after the ghost started showing up at school. Especially when every teacher was sat down in an assembly and spoken to by the government.
They were not to interfere.
This was all apart of a government approved program.
When ghost showed up or interacted if they intervened they would be arrested. Then tried as a traitor to the United States.
He saw his students make calls the the JL hotline. He saw nothing happen. He couldnât be sure if the league knew and didnât care or If the calls were being blocked.
He was hoping the calls were just blocked. Mr lancer saw how the kids whoâs were frequently around these ghost were hurt. Explosions, kidnappings and just the mental toll. At any moment a ghost attack could happen. The way their eyes would shine just a tad to bright.
Government agents the Giw and the Fenton parents active threats as well. Would the JL actually be okay with this? He didnât think so.
Every year of Casper highs life the freshman have always gone out of city for an overnight field trip. To get away from small town life. Theyâd always go to metropolis.
So. He plotted.
Hopefully heâd find a way to make contact with a super or even Lois lane.
As luck would have it. Superman got in a fight against a robot. Nothing worse then they have seen before, he shooed the kiddos away. And waited.
Making direct eye contact with one of the supers/Lois pointing at an envelope on his hand and setting it down. Then he turned around walking away.
Hopefully they would help.
#danny phantom#danny fenton#dp x dc#dc x dp#dp dc crossover#dp x dc crossover#dp x dc prompt#dcxdp#dpxdc#sam and tucker were dragging Danny away from the fight#if phantom showed up it would be too suspicious#Superman would notice a civilian just standing in the line of fire#refusing to move#then staring him down#amity is being hidden by outsiders#those on the inside can still âcontact help#it just goes nowhere but the Giw#government saw the ghost as an opportunity#threatend everyone into compliance#minus the fentons. that lot was more helpful not knowing#students of Casper high are turning liminal#sam and tucker will be the first students to gain powers#jazz#well. sheâs mostly immune#like they grew up eating that stuff.#only reason Danny turned ghost was the whole dying part#jazz as well upon death will be a powerful ghost.#good teacher mr lancer

it's like, i really do enjoy most of the bats as characters and i really do like a lot of their comics. but also i am sooooo tired of them being hailed as better than literally everyone else. both in fanon but also in comics (modern ones are esp egregious imo, like WHAT was that shit about batman and the joker being the most dangerous men on the planet. hi. have you heard of lanterns? speedsters? supers? actually if i keep listing groups who could kick batman's ass we'd be here all day). they're like kudzu. that shit needs to stay in its native environment (funky little neo-noir detective stories) and stop being an invasive species (putting down everyone else to make them seem cooler). put bruce wayne back into a murder mystery setting that isn't about saving the world but is about saving one person or one family that no one else would've saved right now or so help me god. the whole invasive species cross contamination thing is unhealthy for both him And the other ecosystems he keeps getting transplanted into. please. it's so dark in here
#rimi talks#imo it's also like a massive escalation problem like Everything has to be huge immense world ending bullshit plots#rather than ''i am going to solve a local mystery to help local people'' things. which are important also#um. points at action comics 792. you see like superman does here? caring about one person who someone thought wouldn't matter to anyone?#sorry im just going to go on a superman tangent but ac791 and 792 both absolutely gutted me and everyone should read them#both are pretty standalone and both ruined me#one is about something tragic that happened when clark was in high school#and just wanted to try and help a girl everyone was bullying for being fat. and they became friends and had a good time at a dance together#and then the second one is about him noticing the chatty guy who runs the newspaper stand where he stops sometimes is missing#and then just stopping at nothing to try and find him. even though he's someone he barely knew outside of being a regular at his stand#and it just really got me. my god. more of that pleaseeeeeee đđđđđđđđ

Soul by roaroftheninth | T | 4772 Liam tosses a grin back over his shoulder. âWhat are you going to do when Iâve gone and thereâs no one around to drive you round the bend?â Louisâ bike coasts to a stop. It happens so slowly that by the time heâs at a standstill, Liam is far ahead, up by the curve. âIâll forget.â Liam stops much more quickly. Theyâre alone in the dome; their private conversation can be held across thirty feet of open space. âYouâll what?â Louis watches him. âIâll forget,â he repeats. âNot the way you forget things, when you canât pinpoint them but you still carry them in your heart. Iâll just have my hard drive wiped.â Or: Louis is the medical android tasked with taking care of Liam in a world after nuclear war.
Will You Still Call Me Superman by el_em_en_oh_pee | T | 6370 When Harry opens his locker, there's a box wrapped in blue tissue paper, wound messily in a skinny white ribbon, just sitting on top of his textbooks. A piece of paper taped to the top of the box readsTo Harry, Happy Christmas! I noticed how you're always chewing on your pencils in class so I thought this might help! -Your Secret Admir Santa xx In which Harry has an overwhelming crush on Liam, the nicest, coolest guy in school, and his friends aren't very supportive of the pain his crush causes him. The jerks.
we speak in tongues and start to teethe by theamazingpeterparker | G | 8856 Thereâs a moment, a second, where Liamâs eyes are spitting angry. Bright gold and looking like heâs going to tear Louisâs throat out. And then Louis growls low and tightens his grip on Liamâs neck, leaning close enough that he can lay his sharpened canines on the pulse thatâs jack-hammering in Liamâs neck. He could kill him. He could at least bite him, sink his fangs into the soft meat where his neck and shoulder meet as a reminder of whoâs pack heâs interfering with, whose turf heâs on. Itâs the first time that Louis misses it, for a heartbeat, blood flooding his mouth from more than just a scratch in a fight. Enough blood to satiate the full moon buzzing in his ears. Or, werewolf fight club.
FourFiveSeconds from wildin' by apfelhalm | E | 11366 "What about this one? He doesn't look too bad. I could take on, uh," he stops to look at the name, "Liam. I bet I'd stand a chance against Liam." Liam looks fit, well-trained without being too beefy, and perhaps a bit ridiculous, too, with his gold chain and a bandana hanging from his trouser pocket. He also looks fit fit and if this were a normal dating app, Louis would swipe right in a heartbeat. This isn't a normal dating app, though, and Louis has a bet to win. "So? Are you going to pick him or what?" Harry asks, grinning very much like a predatory shark. Or: the one where Louis and Liam meet through a Tinder-style fighting app.
written in my memory by carissima | M | 21646 Liam turns towards the voice. It sounds a bit like Harry, but deeper somehow. Huskier. He blinks carefully as he stares at Harry, who's half-sitting in the window, staring back at him. Or maybe it's not Harry, he thinks dizzily because this boy is taller, much taller than Harry is. He's also got longer hair, tucked back in a bandana, and he's wearing clothes that Harry would never wear; tight skinny black jeans and a loose black tee, silver chains around his neck hanging loose over his chest. Or the one where Liam has amnesia and he struggles to connect with the boys.
Your Lips On Mine by taecheeks | E | 56139 The situation is weird, like really fucking weird. Liam thought maybe he was hallucinating when he first saw Zayn in their apartment, exhausted from work or something. He thinks about Bradford a lot more than he probably should, always eager for the next time he gets to watch him. But when Niall told him about the other new roommate, Zayn, he never in a million years thought it would be him - even when Niall said Zayn was just his type and had silver hair. [Or the one where Zayn is a camboy, who likes to think about the fit mechanic with a liking for leather jackets and scruffy beards from uni during his shows. And Liam, the mechanic, who realizes his new roommate is Bradford, the man with the smooth skin covered in tattoos that Liam watches late at night with a hand wrapped around himself.]
Floating On The Water by scottmcniceass | M | 58206 Liam just wants to get through his last summer working at Malik Resort before University without incident. Of course, life is never that easy, and he ends up getting roped into giving the bosses son, Zayn, swimming lessons. That wouldn't be so bad, if Zayn didn't happen to hate him so much.
Crawling on Your Shores by juliusschmidt | E | 66631 "You're a mechanic?" Liam nods. Harry gives him another long, appraising look. This time it lingers on his hands. "Your nails are clean." The tips of Liam's fingers tingle. "Got laid off a month ago." "Sorry to hear that." Harry smiles, soft and small. ~ Liam is searching for direction, purpose, connection, and, ultimately, himself. Harry is searching for aliens.
Easy As All That (Go Around A Time Or Two) by sunsetmog | E | 84957 Sometimes the hardest part of growing up is figuring out who you are in the first place. Or: The one where Liam and Louis only kiss when they're on nights out, when it's secret, when there's no one around to see them. If no one knows you're having a sexuality crisis, that means it isn't happening, right? Or, or: Liam accidentally turns Louis' world upside down. A high school sixth form AU.

And not all DC fans are mad! I was happy when Leafpool beat Starfire, and I was pleased with Bumble winning too. (Epilepsy dad here, who is a comics fan, and has 4 kids who love reading the warrior cat books and have the Minifig warriors become superheroes In the Gotham city I hot as a kid) im digressing here: What keeps the warrior cats fandom strong is how you all form up around the cats that were mistreated by the writers, how you bring them into your homes and hearts and make better features for them. My Amuma always used to say if enough people believed in something, then maybe their will can change the world.
Always good to see you around!
This vitriol has been super disappointing, y'know? I feel like I have to keep stressing that DC fans are valid, their frustrations with the comics are well-founded, and Bumble's opponents should also be acknowledged as victims of misogyny
And then we don't get that grace back! Doesn't matter that Warriors is a best-selling kids' series with REALLY harmful messages in it read by millions across the globe. Bumble's "just a cat" and we're "reading too much into it." As if that's not the same shit that gets said about misogyny in media broadly; "They're not real, comics are just for fun, you're reading too much into it"
Now people are like "Oh it was a mistake for WARRIOR CATS to be in this poll" because they're mad our "just a cat" is winning. Like it's not a tournament and that's the whole point. We've got people trying to say that Bumble can't even have misogyny happen to her because the human writers superficially made her a cat, as if she's not a fantasy character like every other fantasy character she's been up against.
But, ugh. I won't let it stop me, y'know? StarClan gives its hardest battles to its strongest warriors â¨â¨I will never shut up about the "justa cats," this fandom rocks exactly because of the fact we're so passionate about these issues and how to address and fix them, Bumblesweep FOREVER!
#I'm not a DC fan but one of my best friends in the whole world is#And he's always telling me about what's going on in them#His favorite guy is The Flash!#And me and my friend group have been watching the new superman show together#So like. I don't hate DC and I never have!#And it's not all DC fans obviously. There's just some really loud and nasty ones#But man I can't help feeling like WC fans are getting shit just because there's some sore losers#who are super mad their very prestigious and well-known comic book characters are being beaten by a character they do not respect#Bumblesweep#Vote Bumble#I don't know if I can change the world through my babbles and my passion#But I DO know that I can make some people feel a little better and less alone.#And I can back my girl Bumble and make everyone in this fandom and our surroundings see and acknowledge what they DID TO HER#JUSTICE FOR BUMBLE#bone babble

We should totally have more jl fics where someone is acting ooc and immediately everyone is trying to determine whether they're an imposter or brainwashed or possessed without making it obvious.
Like, a running joke on the tower. Batman makes a sarcastic joke and flash immediately asks him to blink twice if he's under mind control.
Someone starting a sentence with 'Not to be possessed but -'
People calling off sick by saying 'if I come in today that's not me and you should arrest them' and then dragging themselves in to pick up something they accidentally left and everyone takes the mick by saying stuff like 'this isn't you! I believe in you, you can fight this!' when they're grabbing a hoodie from a chair like har har.
Superhero community slang just in general slipping into their civilian lives. Clark says 'before I start I assure you I have not had my will superseded by mister mind' as an ice breaker at a presentation and gets weird and worried looks all night.
It actually ends up helping on several occasions because it's so very very hard to infiltrate an extremely high risk team and then respond in kind without missing a beat when people casually accuse you of being an imposter because you didn't hold your pen the way you normally do. It'd wreck any controlling consciousness' self esteem XD. They've made several shapeshifters cry.
Also the exasperated sighs when you make a suggestion you normally wouldn't and everyone starts squinting at you looking for anything out of the ordinary.
#Ironically it helps security#Even jokingly assuming everyone around you is an imposter does wonders to stop people leaving passwords on sticky notes#Really given the amount of times people have canonically been possesed/mind controlled/replaced it is an actual issue#They just make light of it because that kind of paranoia isn't a healthy way to live and also it's happened so many times it's lost its bit#Gl comes in like 'wonder woman has been dosed into a berserker rage again lol' and everyone rolls their eyes and#Starts to dig up their emergency ropes and nets because like it's the third time this month come on#Jl character centric fics have a lot of people acting out of character and there's a lot less suspicion of mind control or w/ever than#There should be lmao#Given how often it happens#batman#jla#justice league#superman#dc#dc comics#captain marvel#dc flash#wonder woman#green lantern#bruce wayne#clark kent#One time Martian man hunter does a prank where he pretends to be someone else on the watchtower when they're not in the room#By evening everyone's been sighted in at least two locations at the same time and the jl is whipping themselves into a frenzy before he#Reveals himself and gets food thrown at him in revenge XD

Superman (1987) #91
Lex, after half destroying Metropolis, paralyzed in a dying clone body and about to be stomped on by his own rampaging robot: NOOOO!!! STOP!!! đ betrayed by my own creations oh the cruel irony!!! the humanity!!! đ STOP you can't do this to meeeee, I wanna live, I wanna LIVE abloobloobloo đ
Superman: *arrives and tackles the robot away at the last second* ugh. why couldn't I be half a second too late just this once... đ
Lex, once again saved solely by the grace of Clark Kent: smh that DAMN Kryptonian đ¤ I would have WELCOMED death instead of the TORTURE of being LOCKED in this WORTHLESS BODY đ¤ CONSTANTLY thwarted by that ARROGANT alien he WANTS me to SUFFER!!!!! đ¤
#Lex is the fucking wooooorst#Clark being like do I really gotta be faster than a speeding bullet all the time tho đ like really#lmaooooo#Lex Luthor#Clark Kent#Superman#dcu#DC Comics panels#also the Fall of Metropolis arc is giving definite NML-before-NML vibes.#Clark having dealt with a wrecked city and desperate populace#and the helplessness that comes from not being able to just FIX it all for them or help or save everyone#is interesting context for how he interacts with Gotham and Bruce in the times he visits after the Cataclysm#post tag#comics reading tag

Clark: i dont have any idea whats going on but i DO know one thing and its that this woman is trying to hurt Wally's kid and thats not gonna fly
Man poor Clark. Dude is trying so hard to understand and help out but he's just... so slow. The man is like living molasses in Flash Time.
From his perspective it was just a normal day then giant spaceships came out of nowhere and suddenly there is an army of blurs and he just starts teleporting from place to place before he can even register the locations.
Then suddenly he's with familiar blurs, ones clad in red and yellow. Their forms fading in and out like hummingbird wings, voices more akin to mice squeaking than actual language. If he didn't have his superhearing and his ability to hear inhumanly high pitches, he wouldn't have a chance at understanding them. They try to stay still long enough for Clark to talk to them.
He says "What is going-" and then they're gone again. He didn't even finish the question.
Then there's just one blur around. Small, orangey-red at the top, must be Wally's daughter Irey. Before he can even register that information she's being choked by some unknown blur halfway across the room. Something touches his hands and he doesn't even have time to look at them, he just grabs. He was desperate at this point. Good or bad, whoever this was they were staying put until Clark got some answers.
Anyway I think it's very funny that the Kryptonians are aware that something is happening. But they can't do anything about it. It must be incredibly frustrating and confusing to them.
They can hear the screams of the people who died and the people who are trapped in rubble. They would have seen/heard the spaceships come in. They came in at a normal speed so they would have had time to react to that. They know it's an alien invasion, they know people are dying and they know that they can't help.
#its interesting to me that literally the only people on earth who are aware of this would be the Flash family and the Super Fam#i forget what it is exactly but i believe the speedsters are experiencing one day every second and a half#this whole thing will be six weeks long for them and one minute long for everyone else#Clark though... let's be generous and say he's moving at a quarter of there speed. he can say words at least and move which is pretty good#so Clark will experience 1.7 days in ten real seconds. the Flash fam will experience 7 days in that same time frame#So the Kryptonians will have 10 and a half days of total confusion and despair. it sounds like a lot and it sounds like they should be able#help. but remember that the speedsters (including the bad guys) will have SIX WEEKS. there's just not a lot the Kryptonians can do except#feel bad. at least everyone else only has one minute of seeing a confusing and scary blurry world#like Roy and Donna saw the space ships come down and then everything's been a blur since then#there's no cognition there. they're not even out of shock yet.#anyway i just think its neat#dc#dc comics#the flash#superman#Clark Kent#one minute war
