1, 10, 19 and 20 for Lane : )

Who was the last person you held hands with?

Lane: "(considers this) Hmm...I suppose it would have to be Judy. She used to drag me along by the hand a lot at school, and even now she likes holding my hands while we're talking or when we meet back up after a long time. Even when we go walking together, it's often arm-in-arm since Judy has had to start walking with a cane -- "

Much to her displeasure.

Lane: " -- and she likes when she can lean against me instead."

Who was the last person you had a deep conversation with?

Lane: "(smiles wryly) Well, depending on what you mean by 'conversation,' I'd guess it'd have to be Kingsley Shacklebolt. The Minister sent me a letter asking for some historical insight into the dementors of Azkaban, and before long, we ended up discussing the creatures themselves and the...morality of their position at the prison."

[Lane's lips knit together very seriously.]

Lane: "(more quietly) Given how much my Winnie's ward Erik in particular suffered at such creatures' hands, I told him we at least would support him if he chose to remove them from Azkaban. Only a person akin to my own father I think is wicked enough to deserve cohabitating with such creatures for any period of time...and fortunately people as cruel and irredeemable as him are quite rare."

[Lane's expression clears ever-so-slightly.]

Lane: "...If you mean an actual verbal conversation, then that would have to be my heart-to-heart with Winnie's boyfriend Orion, after I finally met him."

Do you like bubble baths?

Lane: "(actually giggles) Not for myself, no -- but oh, being able to watch my wee bairns play with bubbles in the tub? That brings back such good memories..."

Do you like your neighbors?

Lane: "At present I actually live rather remotely, so I don't have neighbors...but I guess I can talk about the ones I had when Jay and Winnie were little. In Westminster, I spoke to only two of our neighbors casually -- the family on our left, headed by a woman who entered and won just about every lawn competition in existence, and an elderly couple across the street who went to our church. That couple would look after our cat Ella, if we ever needed to go out of town. I actively tried to avoid the neighbor on the right -- their son was in the same class as Jay, and both he and his parents were actively antagonistic toward him. Once the father of the boy even had the audacity to ask Evan on his way out the door for work if he needed a good paddle to use on Jay, to punish him for his school behavior."

[However quiet and level Lane's voice is saying this, her eyes are smoldering with icy, Charles-Cromwell-worthy hatred just remembering this. Something a bit more like a smirk then briefly flickers over her face as she adds,]

Lane: "...Evan actually shot back with some temper that day. He told the man the only people who deserve to get hit are parents who think that violence is an appropriate way to discipline children."

[As much as Lane's relationship with Evan is fractured beyond repair, it's clear that Lane is still so unbelievably proud of her ex-husband's reaction.]

Lane: "In Liverpool, we had a lot of neighbors in our complex, but Jay, Winnie, and I didn't talk to them all that much, since at that time, I really had no time for socializing around my long hours at work. I did speak to the owner of the building and a woman who owned an ice cream parlor between our building and Winnie's school named Mrs. Sackett, however, and they became Winnie's main emergency contacts while I was at work, in case she'd ever needed to get a hold of me or in case anything happened. They'd always let me know the moment that Winnie passed by them on her way home from primary school, when she had to walk home on her own. Mrs. Sackett in particular was always very kind...she was alone so much of the time, but she always so appreciated whenever Winnie would stop in to visit, especially when Jacob was with her."

Finally caught up with Apothecary Diaries. I can't believe they gave Maomao a gun.

ngl im not even a superman fan. i just REALLY like clark kent,,, (thank you, Smallville, for that.)

[jesncin]

Today on Daily Planet Media; reporter Clark Kent continues his beloved "ranking my lookalikes" series with input from Lois Lane. Does he really look that much like Superman?

[melon-cat-cult]

*Bruce realizing that Batman for some reason has become the face of alpha males and people are posting homophobic memes with Batman on Twitter*

Bruce: Lois I need to kiss your husband on national television

Clark:*hearing Bruce and dropping what he's holding and looking at Bruce confused as hell*

Lois: *who knows about Batman becoming the alpha male icon for some reason because Kon and Tim have been laughing at the homophobic memes for weeks now* know what makes sense go for it.

Clark: what!

[prlssprfctn]

I need more of Jason's and Lois's duo, so here is my humble little scenario — Jason accidentally starts writing articles under her wing after being back from dead.

It starts like this: Bruce kinda announces the rest of the League that the Second Robin is alive, and in fact, Red Hood is him. It is confusing as fuck, but honestly, at this point, everyone is used to Batman's antics, so they just nod along. Clark decides to casually drop the news to Lois, too.

Clark: Do you remember the Second Robin?

Lois, without getting distracted from her work: Oh, of course. Batman asked my autograph for him once. And he mailed me a few of his writing stories once. He was such a talented kid.

Clark: He is alive again!

Lois: Oh.

Lois, pausing and glaring thoughtfully at her computer: ...Do you think he is still into writing?

So, Lois reaches out to Jason, suggesting to try writing again because the Daily Planet needs more talented people, and she can't find anyone normal for months now. And Jason accepts. They end up choosing him a pen name, and it goes just... perfectly. Lois is glad that someone matches her enthusiasm and does the job perfectly, Jason is in awe about working with his second favourite woman alive (after Wonderwoman, of course) and doing the thing he likes.

Jason, irritated as fuck, calling Lois: Hey. I don't know if you have seen the latest president's meeting, but, please, tell me that I can—

Lois: Yeah, son. Drag his ASS. I will deal with the rest.

Jason: Don't tell anyone, but you are my favourite Super.

Lois: Don't tell anyone either, but you are my favourite Bat.

Lois: Now, on a completely unrelated note, do you think Red Hood can assassinate the president—

Naturally, Jason doesn't intend to tell anyone about his new job. No one suspects a thing anyway, and he is working from home, expect for times, when he visits Lois to hang out. Everything is fine.

Until Tim.

Tim, coming for dinner at Kents, by Kon's invitation: Hey, everyone— Jason?

Jason, who is giggling with Lois about their the most hated coworker: Uh. No?

Tim: JASON!

So, Tim knows now. He agrees not to tell anyone, but it doesn't mean that he is not going to tease Jason subtly around others. As usual.

Tim, casually, during the family breakfast: By the way, had you guys read articles in Daily Planet recently? Their new writer is fire.

Jason, tensing up: ...

Bruce: Really? Which one?

Tim, smiling politely: Oh, his name is Peter Austen. His writing style is SO good, and he is always SO on point, I ADORE him.

Jason, half-flustered, half-irritated: (gesturing Tim to shut up)

Bruce: I'll check his articles later today, then. Jaylad, had you read any of it?

Jason, grumpy as hell: You know me. I only read that crap for Lois.

Tim: That's a shame. Because I love this man SO MUCH.

(On the other side of table)

Dick, whistling: Damn, I think Lil Wing is jealous.

Damian, nodding: Todd definitely wishes he could be Drake's favourite writer.

don't worry i don't actually thirst over any of these characters (they lied)

Lois didn’t expect Clark to actually listen

Phantom Lane

Danny Phantom and Lois Lane are an under utilized combo.

One of Lane's sources in a story she was following comes to her with a tip that LexCorp has found a new, and steady source of kyrptonite. Well there's nothing else for her to do but to go the source, one Amity Park- smackdab in the middle of nowheresville.

"No Clark you have your own story and I don't need my partner with me 24/7. Go work on your mysterious expose on the lead levels in underprivileged metropolis neighborhoods."

Only when she finally gets there, after a very uncomfortable flight, in an actual plane for once, she's not a fan. She finds a very confusing situation.

LexCorp employees seem to be disguising themselves by dressing in white and pretending to be government employees, already a story. But they are using this "disguise" to abduct what look like ghosts?

"No Perry I'm not saying ghosts are real, what do you take me for, Clark? No, I'm saying that Superman is an alien so it's not such a reach that these beings are as well. And well, if they are ghosts, then I'm going to be the one to break the story that ghosts are REAL"

So she's going around interviewing the "concerned citizens, once a terrified town now a collection of people just trying to go about their day in this strange new normal." It makes a good line but really that is the vibe she gets. There's ghostly updates along with the weather (and a Fenton? driving update??) but most everyone seems to be fine with working around the occasional ghostly drama.

Her pizza is delivered in a bowl.

Her main sources end up being very convenient for her, at least in terms of location. It's important to be unbiased so she finds sources willing to talk to her with opinions across the spectrum. Including, two doctors Fenton - negative, one Danny Fenton (son of the doctors and without a named credit to protect privacy) - positive, one English teacher - neutral. Danny Fenton is also able to point her towards one Valerie Gray (no comment) who is able to get her in contact with the most commonly seen "ghost" in the town.

"Your name is Phantom correct? Is that how you would prefer to be addressed? A little on the nose considering your alleged ghostly nature, no?"

"So your claim is that Kryptonite is a byproduct of ectoplasm, something that makes sense when you believe in ghosts, which apparently I do now. Although I will need independent verification of course.

"But you're saying that when ectoplasm crystalizes it becomes what is commonly known as kryptonite, something that is famously toxic to Kryptonians. How exactly did these "Guys In White" come to learn and harvest this dangerous material. And less important but confusing to me personally, how can a material that has been proven to be sourced from astroids be supernatural in origin?

"Right, death of a planet imprinting on ectoplasm, no makes total sense."

She leaves Amity Park with enough material to write three separate articles, four bruised ribs from a particularly violent escape from alphabetically challenged weirdos, four new sources to draw upon for said articles, two new superhero contacts, and a new found respect for rectangular shapes.

She is going to get some scientists from Star Labs down here to get a tertiary verification and then she is going to write the biggest article since the introduction of Superman.

And Clark can be jealous since he may have gotten the Superman Saves Metropolis from Raging Wildfires story but she's going to take down a pseudo-government agency, announce the existence of ghosts, AND open up extraterrestrial relations all with one article.

Beat that sweetheart

[egophiliac]

Hello ! I positively adore the running joke of Idia unknowingly finding Lilia to be the coolest guy ever whenever he doesn't know it's him, like when Silver described his father, or obviously with muscle red. I can't say what'd be funnier, Idia finding out his online best friend is actually Lilia, resident spooky hyper fairy; or them both never finding out, and it'd become even more ridiculous as time goes on. How do you think it'll play out ? You're always so on point

(Also, though it makes sense, I'm still devastated bat boy didn't get a ticket for the Halloween skeleton train : ( does anyone mentions him at some point ? Like how he'd have fit right in with all those Halloween town little freaks, and how he'd have impressed them with his spooks and scared techniques; after all he's been every Briar Valley's children worst fear on Halloween for centuries. I'm on the eng server and I didn't wanna spoil myself by watching the whole thing on youtube)

Have a nice day !

you and me both, Idia and Lilia being oblivious online BFFs (+ Idia being incredibly intimidated any time Silver brings up his jock gamer dad) is my favorite running joke/subplot. 🤝 it's SO good, to the point where I also am unsure if I actually want it to ever be resolved or not...maybe, like, as a post-canon stinger or something? everyone's standing around covered in overblot ink, and Idia and Lilia's phones go off at the same time...

(legit I do think this is part of why Idia couldn't be present for Lilia's dream, because for some reason Lilia decided he was going to just. embody his past self online. he probably quotes his own battle strategies or whatever in the middle of boss fights. Idia didn't pick up on the whole "oh how weird that we both live on a super remote island" thing, but he would spend thirty seconds listening to General Lilia describing siege warfare and be like "w-wait")

all that aside, however it does end up happening, I do see Lilia being very blasé and all "oh! cool!" about it. y'know, taking it very much in stride! and Idia...very much not.

(can't tell if tumblr is going to chew this into illegibility or not, this will be a fun surprise ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)

as for Lilia sadly missing out on Halloweentown shenanigans...he does get one little mention as part of an offhand reference to the light music club, but so far no one has brought up how this basically is just Lost In the Book of Liliatown (Sebek's been too busy yelling about not getting to be in the same group as Malleus). 😔 honestly though, it's probably for the best that he got left out, because he would just settle right in and refuse to ever leave. canon would shatter. we would miss out on all the delightful angst of episode 7 because Lilia is too busy eating poisonous shrubbery inbetween practicing his very best screams, and no one can pull him away from it.

(I can hope for a sequel next year though...)

Carewyn's always liked salty things. When she was a small child, Jacob used to joke that Carewyn was a little lost kelpie that Lane had found and brought home one day because of how much she loved salt. Not only is Carey Bear big on chips, pretzels and salted caramel, but she salts her salads rather than using dressing on it. When she enters her golden years, her salt intake is actually something Carewyn has to cut back on for the sake of her health, however much it frustrates her.

Jacob is the biggest chocoholic on the planet. When he was first able to visit Honeydukes in his third year, it was love from the word "go," which is rather ironic considering how tempestuous his relationship with Ambrose Flume's second daughter, Mia is. When he travels to a new place, he always has to try whatever local sweets they have that feature chocolate. He also learns a lot about chocolatiering both on his travels and through Mia, once they mend fences during the War and especially after. His favorite brands of chocolate as an adult are Ghirardelli and Richart, though even after all this time, good old Chocolate Frogs remain his favorite magical sweet.

Lane didn't actually get to enjoy a lot of sweet treats growing up. Charles and Marilyn Cromwell were always very controlling parents, and Marilyn in particular being very image-conscious meant that she heavily regulated what her children ate, alongside how they dressed and behaved. There's a reason I chose the song "The Legend of Miss Baltimore Crabs" as this woman's character theme. XD; The closest things to a "dessert" Lane and her siblings Pearl, Claire, and Blaise had growing up was at Christmas dinner, which was the figgy pudding Charles would always insist on having at the table. Other "treats" were apple, plum, or cherry butter, which the family would eat with their toast and crumpets in the morning; wine-candied peaches, which were Marilyn's favorite treat and something she'd share when she was feeling oddly affectionate with a particular child (usually Blaise); and ginger-spiced hot cocoa, which Marilyn only ever made when her children were sick. Lane theorized as an adult that her mother had also quietly mixed in some Mandrake root or Dittany into the hot cocoa, but Marilyn had always been very protective of her recipes and never shared the whole of them with her children.

While I was playing a game with Sark online, the sky outside turned VERY suddenly Ominous. That looks it gets when there's about to be some shit going down. I logged and booked it outside to close the birds in for safety, and I didn't even make it all the way out to the back of the barn for the first pen door before I heard it.

This loud, strange roar in the distance. Building and definitely coming closer.

I closed up the first pen and as I exited to head for the one with Bug in it, the trees in the distance started swaying heavily. The birds were just standing there confused, until I started calling for round up, and then they immediately ran for the coop. Bug waited until I got there, but she bolted with me to the coop, and got inside ahead of me. I couldn't bring her with me right then, and the wind was howling and the rain hit like a brick wall, instantly soaking me as I closed their coop.

The rain was coming down so hard that I couldn't see much as I ran for the last coop. Aurora and Eris and Stella couldn't see either, and were panicking in the wrong side of the pen. They heard and saw me, though, and ran with me around the barrier that had confused them, and came with me to safety inside the coop. I stood with them and watched the rain come down in buckets for a minute before I got out and closed their door.

I dashed to the barn, checked on everyone in there, and closed it up. I wanted to get Bug and bring her in the house, but the rain was coming down hard and the wind was blowing like crazy. I thought for sure she would freak out. I went anyway, thinking maybe I would just ride it out in her coop so she wouldn't be scared, but when I got there she was waiting up on the shelf for me. I picked her up and tucked her close to me, and she held on as I RAN through the yard back to the house. She's never sat so pretty in her life, but she didn't give me any hassle at all.

I am... so insanely glad that I work with my birds daily. That they see me and hear me and follow directions, and follow me if I need to move them in a hurry, even when they're scared and confused. Especially when they're scared and confused.

The storm was intense, but thankfully short lived, and while the rain is still going it doesn't feel like it's trying to murder anyone anymore.

So happy wet beast Sunday!
