She was the only thing I was living for. I’m sorry for your loss, sir, but right now we need to get you airborne. Police will be here any minute. I’m well aware of that. I’m turning myself in.

#it's wild how they were actually doing some interesting character work with lex in the beginning of s7 #('I wasn't miraculously saved so I could run away from my demons. I was brought back to face them' etc etc)#only for them to just go 'nah' midway through and toss out all nuance and complexity in favor of a million veritas-related retcons 🙃#not sure if that's because of the writers strike or just this show's usual incompetence but it's a real shame either way #anyway I really liked this plot/scene #lex didn't kill lana but he knows he fucked up in a multitude of other ways in his relationship with her #so he's willing to be punished for a crime he didn't commit bc he doesn't know how else to make up for what he's done #(also him keeping the cute photo of them folded up in his pocket is so heart-achingly sweet I actually can't take it)#smallville #smallvilleedit #svedit #lex luthor #lexana #dcmultiverse #sv 7x01 #my gifs #god this gifset has been languishing in my drafts since *checks* FEBRUARY?!?! jfc...#I guess it's a good thing I have so many unposted sets saved since I don't actually have time to make new gifs for the next few months #but still. lol
