I dunno if it's just me but I'm getting the vibe that in My Adventures With Superman, they are setting up Lex Luthor as not a narrative foil to Clark Kent, like most people would, but to the flame bird himself, Jimmy Olsen. And that's just really interesting to me.

Jimmy Olsen is Superman's pal. Clark Kent's best friend. And as Clark said in episode four of season 2, was the first person outside his parents that made him feel safe and secure as an alien. As an outsider. Jimmy Olsen pursues the unknown with his flamebird vlog with a pure joy of wanting to find these things, (Aliens, cryptids, what have you) not to judge or persecute them. But to befriend and understand. Jimmy Olsen sees the non-human and reaches a hand out to it happily and welcoming.

Contrast that to Alexander 'Lex' Luthor. One who sees the non-human side of things and only seeks to control and destroy. He reacts not with joy and compassion like Jimmy, but anger and fear. Like Jimmy in the show, he starts off more or less a nobody. He doesn't have his own company at first, he is just assistant to someone else. Similiar to Jimmy woth his Flamebird Vlog. They are both starting out and getting looked down on. Then Superman comes into their lives, and both rocket to success. Jimmy as a department head in the Daily Planet, and Lex as head scientist of Task Force X.

Both had their lives drastically changed by Superman. And both have strong opinions on alien life. One is Superman's best Pal. The other is his worst enemy.

there's a very specific trope I love that's kind of the opposite of villian escalation that's like "well normally I would hate your guts and fight you on the spot, but I just had to spend a long time with someone who sucks way more, so you're actually pretty chill by comparison"

there are fetishes and sexual depravities we can't even hope to imagine because we're not medieval monks that came into the order as oblates and then spent the rest of our early adolescence cautioned against being alone with older monks, sleeping in one big room with all our brothers but with a bed flanked by an older brother's bed on each side, getting little to no physical touch from neither other novices our age nor our older masters until we finally become old enough to be allowed to take part in the kiss of peace during mass.

Roman: I’m kind of seeing someone, but I’m worried about telling you who because… uh, you aren’t going to like it—

Virgil: It’s uh…It’s fine. Just rip off the bandaid—

Roman: It’s… Janu—

Virgil: *puts head in hands* Put it back on! Put the bandaid back on!!

Been sitting on this one the start of 2023, and yknow what, I think it’s about time I let it see the light of day- sometimes a gender crisis involves several puppets, a questionable patron, and a whole lot of time to overthink it all

Rote lines I still think about nearly a year after finishing Ass Fate

If fate demands that you be dead well then I'll probably be dead too

I called you a clodpole

But a man's whole life you sniff at and say, what, this naught of a human, this fisherman this carpenter, this thief, this cook, why, what can they do in the great wide world?

You break your heart against this stony world, and you do not ask the cost

Give me a face you could love (coupled with they were supposed to be brown oh my goddddd)

As if he didn't know he was loved the best

You're not dead, son. You're not dead.

My dream was dead in my arms
