#otp: lois x clark

[isagrimorie]

Do you know the thing with Clark Kent? Where the way he is able to focus on not letting the sound of the world overwhelm him, is he listens to the heartbeats of the people he loves?

His parents, Lois.

What if that’s the same thing with Imogen?

Except mind stuff and the one her mind constantly grasped and “listened to” for 2 years was Laudna’s mind.

Laudna’a musical “sounding” thoughts are Imogen’s port in the storm, in an ocean of mental noise.

It’s why Imogen was so bereft when Laudna died and now they’re separated. Like, I bet the one mind she let in while she was wearing the circlet, was Laudna’s?

And I know it might be a different thing Laura had in mind when she called Laudna her tether. But maybe…?

I like the new Lois Lane, and I like Elizabeth Tulloch and I love Amy Adams!

BUT

Erica Durance is my Lois Lane!

And they will always be my Lois and Clark:

#there is a reason three of the most important people in his life are lex and lois and bruce#there's a reason that clark and lex were friends when they were young#even in comics canon where lex is a lot more abrasive#there's a reason he falls head over heels for lois#clark loves people who challenge him and push him to be better (via @luthwhore)

The thing is that Clark likes difficult people.

He likes people who are too smart for their own good, who get in over their heads but still somehow manage to come out on top.

People with too much ambition and drive and heart, for their much more vulnerable human bodies.

Clever and observant, with minds that move fast enough to leave him behind and confused and in awe.

He likes people who, in his eyes, are much braver than he could ever be.

top five dc ships

Jason Todd/Mia Dearden. I liked them after first reading "Seeing Red" -I love a good meet ugly, an antagonistic relationship between narrative foils, and they absolutely delivered that and more with their confrontation. But now that I've read the bulk of Mia's comics? OTP among OTPs. The ship can do so much for her narrative, don't let anyone tell you otherwise lol.

Bruce Wayne/Selina Kyle. A fucking classic. Ironically I feel I ship them more as I read through Devin's Catwoman run, in which Bruce is largely absent and all the better for it lmao. But it really shows off, completely unintentionally, *why* they'd match each other's freak perfectly :P

Dinah Lance/Oliver Queen. They're so messyyyyyyyy. I love them for that. Together, broken up, married, divorced, never quite done with each other, bring it all.

Clark Kent/Lois Lane. I have mixed feelings because I love them but there are undeniably eras where this romance has been such a detriment to Lois's character... the fact that unlike the other examples above she really doesn't quite carve a narrative niche for herself is one huge drawback for me, ngl. But I do love plenty of them *as* a couple. Woe is me.

Jason Todd/Tim Drake. I was converted by a few mutuals. Honestly, I love how this coupling would break people's brains, inside and outside canon xD. And they're so not normal about each other and could easily *get* each other (that is one progression that made total sense to me in the new 52. A phase of canon where I suspect more than one writer low-key shipped them because how else do you explain certain scenes lol).

ETA: honorable mentions to Chalant (I didn't list it because it's solely in the YJTV continuity and I kept this focused on new earth); Barda and Scott Free, who I know little about, but that's enough to love their vibes; or Cass x Barbara as the unrequited-pseudo-familial mess I imagine them to be.
