[shoot-i-messed-up]

pspsps..... you should say your clarkollie thoughts....... im lady mcbething u...... prettee pls :3

TY FOR ASKING <33 but it’s honestly just my various thoughts on Clark showing up in Green Arrow (2001), most of which I’ve already said before I think

Because iirc Clark was the last person who saw Ollie, and Clark could’ve technically saved Ollie at the price of Ollie losing his arm and not being able to shoot anymore, so Oliver died

So even after Ollie reunites w the rest of the JL, Clark and Ollie have a special scene where Ollie’s like “we both need this” and they’re just like gimlet eyed looking at each other, and I feel like it’s SO easy to envision a fic where it leads in with that line and then they fuck nasty about it (metaphorically) (but also maybe literally)

When I was talking to my friend about clarkollie and how insane that line sounded, she was like… so they literally just care about each other as people. And I couldn’t even defend them, hence my reblog of that post

I did look at the clarkollie tag and saw, to my complete surprise, that there’s actually hundreds of clarkollie fics??? Like 3 or 4 times the amount that superlantern has??? Until I realized oh. That’s bc of Smallville. If u take out smallville, Clarkollie only has like 3 fics iirc

(I’m talking abt comics clarkollie, in case that wasn’t apparent before lmao)

I think Clarkollie is interesting because, like, usually when Clark goes around with a powerless fellow superhero, it’s going to be Bruce/Batman (who always gets gassed up by comics or shows as being so smart that he’s equal to Clark) or even Steel AKA John Henry Irons (whose Iron Man ahh suit basically means he does have superpowers in practice)

But Superman going around with Green Arrow? I think there’s room for thinking about that power dynamic that could cause friction in their already kinda tenuous relationship. I swear somewhere in a comic, Superman says a line about how he and Ollie never got along (that I then stole for my fic Embarcation), and it’s pretty clear from Green Arrow (2001) that Ollie thinks of Superman as being adjacent to The Man he’s always trying to stick it to. There’s also that panel from like the 80’s or smth iirc (I am probs not) where Ollie is like “sometimes I wonder if the rest of the JLA are just humoring me and giving me easy missions because I’m literally just a guy with a bow,” and Superman is so…the opposite of that. Idk. Food for thought.

There’s also the fact that Ollie is infamously leftist, and while I do think Superman has to be leftist because of…everything about him (I can’t remember exactly, but I believe his very first adventure was him breaking into a senator’s house to tell him a person on death row was innocent or something along those lines), I think in modern times, he’s been written to be more constrained in his political actions in his superhero persona due to being a symbol. I could easily imagine Ollie criticizing Clark for not doing more activism, for not using his symbol for more. Like instead of in Hard Traveling Heroes where Ollie teaches Hal to be less ignorant (a horrible oversimplification but bear with me), Ollie could help Clark find a stronger balance between being a symbol and using that symbol for good? (Although I think “help” would be a strong word there)

Also, In Green Arrow 2001 Dinah tells a woman that “the good [men] do the dishes” iirc, a pointed statement against Oliver. It reminds me of that tweet that criticizes “leftist” men who leave their household chores/management to their gfs/wives, much like their conservative counterparts. I think this is an interesting contrast to depictions of married!Clark where he’s a loyal and dutiful husband to Lois.

In conclusion: Idk!!! Could be interesting!! I would find clarkollie more interesting as friends than lovers, but I’m using the ship name just because it’s easier to talk about that dynamic that way.

dcmarvelexchange: clark/oliver fic

Reveals were made for the dcmarvel exchange and shockingly, my fic was the Clark/Oliver one. Totally off brand, of course lol Title: let's give them something to talk about (how about love) Fandom: Smallville Pairing/Characters: Clark/Oliver, Lois Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 10604 Summary: When Clark and Oliver's relationship is exposed by the media, they're both surprised, as they aren't even dating. But when it proves beneficial to pretend, especially with Martha's reelection campaign approaching, they go along with the charade. What's the worst that could happen? A/N: for shopfront

How many missed calls? Did he even know that many people? Clark was still in the process of waking up, but tried to focus one what was going on, dread filling his entire being as he scrolled through the missed calls, to see that Lois, Oliver, and even his mom had tried to reach out multiple times. Choosing to call his mom first, he tried to reassure himself that if something had really happened, they would’ve at least yelled for him rather than trying to reach out this way. She picked up on the second ring. “Clark?” “Mom,” he said, keeping his voice steady. “I saw you called. Is everything okay?” “Oh, sweetie, I’m fine,” Martha replied, and he released an unintentional breath of relief. “I don’t know how to tell you this but … did you see the Inquisitor this morning?” That was not the direction he expected the conversation to go in. “No,” he said slowly. “I just got up. What happened?” There was a long pause and then. “Well … Clark, you made the front page.” He blinked multiple times, processing the thought. “Me? Why?” “They claim you’re in a relationship … with Oliver. And it’s picked up some traction since.” Read on AO3

clark/oliver fic

Title: you don’t need to race (i’m already yours) Fandom: Smallville Pairing/Characters: Clark/Oliver, Tess Rating: PG Word Count: 2247 Summary: Clark finds Oliver asleep at Watchtower A/N: for my 25fluffyfics table (LJ), prompt: blankets

He watched Oliver for a few moments, expression openly affectionate in a way he didn’t allow it to be when the other man was awake, before spinning around, and barely managed to restrain from gawking.

At some point, Tess had shown up, a cup of coffee in her hands, her expression amused as she stared at him. She was like a cat, stealthy as can be, but he really should’ve been more aware of his surroundings.

“Hey, Tess,” he greeted her, hoping she hadn’t been standing there long or that she wouldn’t read too much into the situation. “You know, if you’re not careful, he is going to notice,” she replied. She was smiling, but her tone was gentle, which actually made him feel worse.

“There isn’t anything to notice,” Clark insisted, but he couldn’t even convince himself.

She took a sip of her coffee and raised an eyebrow. “You want to try that again?”

“Not particularly,” he admitted. “There’s, it’s fine, I have it under control.”
