i wanna see the arranged marriage au 👀

tysm for asking !! I just explained the basic premise here, but I realized I didn't really actually talk about the superlantern dynamic so this is going to be what this post is about!! :)

under the cut bc I'm a little embarrassed (TW for consent issues altho that's like, lowkey the whole point of an arranged marriage AU)

basically, it's all set up by the first night they spend together after just having been wed:

Due to some miscommunications in the Krypton-Corps treaty, Hal (who is a trans man here because if I don't write Hal as having some complicated gender feelings, it's my sign that I have been kidnapped) believes that he has to get pregnant to make the treaty-required child. So. On their wedding night, Hal puts the moves on Clark, and Clark almost believes that Hal also wants it (and Clark's not even opposed to having sex with him because even though he was forced into the arranged marriage, sex is fairly decoupled from ideas of marriage for this AU Krypton because of the birthing matrix situation + Clark's also a progressive by Kryptonian societal standards), until Clark realizes that there's been a fundamental misunderstanding of the treaty and is like, okay, so now I'm never trusting your yes again because I almost couldn't tell the difference.

So like. They both still have to work together because they both want the treaty to succeed, despite their saboteurs lurking in the background (oooh political intrigue). But Clark, despite being a normally kind and agreeable guy, is pretty icy towards Hal initially, because of this. Maybe not icy per se, but like, distantly polite? Like, Clark will act close and warm with Hal when they're in public, but as soon as it's just the two of them, it's bland smiles and nonethusiastic dismissiveness.

But then the progressive social movement that Clark is a part of is genuinely super mad that he got forced into marriage and partially take out some of their anger on Hal via violence, so now the two of them have an incentive to actually pretend to fall in actual love even though everyone knows theirs is a political marriage.

Their whole marriage is essentially them being coworkers in the extreme where there's a bunch of problems that they have to work together to mitigate, like attempted assassinations and stuff. yk. just a casual Tuesday with the bae <3

Then it goes from them being coworkers + forced proximity to them being lowkey kinda actual genuine friends to them each slowly getting actual romantic feelings towards the other, which they know is requited back because they've learned the other well enough to know when they're putting on a farce and when they're being genuine, but like, they can't actually be in a relationship yet (despite being married lmao) because they have too much shit to worry about at the moment. yk. that kind of dynamic

the progressive social movement eventually becomes, like, a straight-up people's revolution. Clark joins, and so does Hal, reluctantly, because he's super wary of becoming a Sinestro-like figure interfering with intraplanetary affairs (Sinestro haunts the narrative lowkey bc of the dictator thing). At this point, there's little incentive for them to continue to keep up the "act" of being in love, so they are...kinda actual boyfriends now! yay! but then when Hal tries to put the moves on Clark again, Clark just gently stops him and is like, I'd rather wait until we are completely free of any incentives, so that this is completely pure and genuine. So instead of waiting for marriage to have sex, they're waiting for divorce

When they eventually reform the government and make what will essentially be their Bill of Rights but with a special emphasis on negative rights (as in, the govt can't do this or that to you), the treaty gets overturned, and their new Supreme Court (or the equivalent thereof) will have their first case: the El v. Jordan divorce

(I have the entire ending climax and resolution in my head playing like a movie. But I would need to write all of the middle parts before that could happen sobs)

Happy @halbarrysecretsanta to @bitchyblkqueer!

Hal’s been through a lot, and left almost as much behind. He’d much rather the past stay in the past, but as usual, the universe has other ideas. Something magical’s taken an interest in Helen. Hal's not letting anything happen to his niece, not when they're finally building a relationship outside of a time in in their past Hal knows they'd rather both forget. So he's bringing in Barry, despite things between them being, well…

Not the best conditions for a family holiday mall visit.

i havent been keeping up w absolute power so i’m going off of a single panel here, but “so busy feeling guilty you can’t see the good side” is sooo revealing. as if this isn’t the guy that forces himself to see the good side BECAUSE he feels guilty. and like @bitchyblkqueer said, one of barry’s most enduring traits is lying to protect his family. it’s just cope after cope in here

if he doesn’t snap, i will

Movies I enjoyed in 2024 🎬

Thanks so much for the tags, @somanywords @booksandabeer @burberrycanary <3 Sorry it took a hot second.

Rules: post 9 films you saw for the first time this year and enjoyed, brand new or not but that are new to you, then tag 9 people

There’s things to be said about how big a part alienation and loneliness play in much of this specific list, lol. Anyway, I can’t believe how few “new” movies I watched this year—or at least ones that I can actually remember off the top of my head. Travesty. Here’s to a better record in 2025 and a better habit of writing my impressions down🌞 (And tbh we’re already off to a strong start!)

For my own future reference here they are in watch order:

Mikey and Nicky (1976, dir. Elaine May)

All of Us Strangers (2023, dir. Andrew Haigh)

Rán dōng / The Breaking Ice (2023, dir. Anthony Chen)

Za danas toliko / That’s It for Today (2024, dir. Marko Đorđević)

Il deserto rosso / Red Desert (1964, dir. Michelangelo Antonioni)

Balkanski špijun / Balkan Spy (1984, dir. Dušan Kovačević, Božidar Nikolić)

Sing Sing (2023, dir. Greg Kwedar)

A Different Man (2024, dir. Aaron Schimberg)

Conclave (2024, dir. Edward Berger)

I feel like so many folks have already done this so apologies if I’m double tagging you! Gently and with no pressure:

I got tagged by @luvo27 ty for thinking of me <333

I originally wasn't going to play this game because 1) I don't have that many wips and 2) most of my wips are way too well-named to actually be fun to ask about because I would just...repeat what the title is. but then I realized 1) I actually have more wips than I thought because sometimes I just write down a premise + like 2k words and dip before I finish the rest and 2) I can just...do the snippet option lmao

rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs
