Cannot get over the duality of Smallville. In my mind, Clark and Lex are the leads of two very different shows. I’m only on season one right now but it’s so fascinating how everything that comes later is already baked in from the beginning. You can see the tragedy of their friendship even before the first crack forms because at the heart of it all, there’s always going to be a lack of understanding between Clark and Lex. It’s just who they are, how the both of them were raised.

Because on one side you have Clark. He’s an alien. He feels alone in the world, like he has to hide himself. This feeling becomes an instinct where even though he is an open and honest person there’s a part of himself that never really gets to see the light of day.

And then you have Lex who barely even knows the meaning of the word trust. He was raised in business and politics (most of it not even above board). And that’s not even mentioning the influence his father specifically had on him. He’s been taught to lie and keep secrets and ultimately restrain from divulging any part of himself without some serious teeth pulling. In fact, Lex usually won’t give up a lie until he’s been caught outright. He’s always dealing in half-truths and lying by omission so that he can stay ten steps ahead of everyone else because he was taught by his dad and has learned over and over again through experience until it was practically hardwired into his brain that sharing information with other people is a losing move and usually just puts another bullet in the gun someone’s already got aimed at your chest.

So what do you get out of that? Well, you get two people from two complete different spheres (two houses both alike in dignity and all that) who make the choice to be friends, not knowing that the choice is an impossible one. Because neither can ever be fully honest with the other (they don’t know how to be fully honest with anyone) and eventually the lies pile up between them. The misunderstandings become more than just circumstantial. They become delusion and obsession and mistrust and bad faith. They can talk and try to fight it all they want but at the end of the day their constant miscommunication leads to what was always their ultimate destiny—the end of their friendship and the start of something worse.

heres a crappy venn (??) diagram explaining the dynamics in the tl4j time travel au bc it's easier than trying to write a full plot

#tl4j time travel au #slightly longer ver is cal and ezra have 1. accepted what's happened to them and 2. know tragedy has given them an amazing found family #which they wouldnt have if everything was 'fixed'#and ezra knows from the wbw that changing the past is a Bad idea (which alongside the found family thing cal accepts n agrees w)#but ahsoka cant take her own advice and insists fixing this is Different to the Kanan thing #bc she has not accepted it the same way and her life is soo much more depressing and seeing the live republic reminds her #if she fixed the timeline she'd have her whole family back (bc rn she just has luke) and thered be so much less horrible horrible loss #and luke is the force's specialest boy so he assumes itll all work out great #its basically 'attachments + compassion for those the empire killed' vs 'attachments + acceptance of the world that exists now'#like both 'sides' are going half good jedi ideology and half attachment ig (tho cal n ezra i think have a one-up on jedi-ness of their idea #misc tag #but even tho cal n ahsoka/ ezra n luke have opposed goals theyre the only ones who understand what the other is going thru #so u get fun dynamics as shown by the diagram

WHATEVER itll look completely different printed out anyway #ANYWAY !! FIRST PROPER ART OF THE YEAR HELLO #this year i would like to get better AT #COMPOSITION. SHAPE LANGUAGE. 3D FORMS AND SIMPLIFICATION #i like realism and its what im used to but last year i was thinking a lot abt art i admire and its always very Shapes #obv u need to understand realism to be able to do that which is why i go to life drawing #but yea. u have to practise BOTH at the same time theyre 2 diff skill sets which can feed into each other #anyways that was my big realisation last year #the last few pieces have not been turning out Exactly how i want them to but i have to remind myself its what i can achieve #at my current skill level and i have to keep studying and looking and learning if i wanna improve #anyways.

I think it is genuinely sweet how every time Adrien finds out that Ladybug is Marinette, he immediately accepts it, and he is SO happy too, like, oh my god, Marinette and his Lady are the same person that's amazing!!!!! And then Marinette needs to PROCESS everything when she finds out Adrien is Chat Noir because she gets psychic damage 😭😭😭

#miraculous ladybug #ladybug #marinette dupain cheng #chat noir #adrien agreste #love square #tbf im rewatching mlb and theres a lot of times where im like theres no way adrien and chat r the same person lmao theyre SO different #they have the same good heart and theyre both so kind but like chat is SO extra #poor marinette

terrisas really funny ithink

#kingdom hearts #kh #my art #image id in alt #kh fanart #Saix #saïx #isa #terra #kh terra #terrisa #Moonrocks #<-? I think people call them that sometimes. I think its cute #Kh saix #kh saïx #kh isa #Not tagging this xemsai because its only a little bit about it. I mean xemsais the joke but ykwim #Ok for real though ive been thinking about them these last few weeks and actually they're really cool 2me #Like theres whole “came back wrong” dynamic since isa remembers everything and terras basically a whole different person #And adding onto that saix and xemnas relationship wasnt exactly. Normal. So i could totally see something like isa-#-subconsciously reverting back to how he acted in kh2 while terras like ‘? You dont have to do that?” And like theyre both AFFECTED by-#-xemnas but in different ways and terra can see how xemnas was through isa and augh #Anyway. This is still an akusai house but i think isa can have an unhealthy one sided attachment to a person he barely knows out of their-#-resemblance to someone he ‘sacrificed himself to’ (kh character files words not mine).#It improves the biodiversity.#terraisa

saiteru is so misunderstood and its so sad because its genuinely one of the best implied ships ive ever seen

girl who thinks she can only be loved for her appearance and when she sacrifices her own happiness and privacy for the sake of others............ guy who doesnt care about her appearance and grows to care about her despite knowing all her secrets, and insists that she doesnt need to sacrifice anything but still admires her for it......... u guys only hate them cuz u hate to see a girlboss winning
