Send 💋 to give my muse a Valentine's kiss

[thatisparadoxical]

I know everyone’s having a ton of fun with the whole ‘Make Metropolis Great Again’ meme and comparing 45 to Lex Luthor, and there are absolutely iterations of the Lex Luthor character that, on non-superficial levels, very much resemble 45.

That said, I just want to put it out there that Jesse Eisenberg’s iteration is not of that class of Lex Luthor.

45 is an incompetent monster who is easily manipulated by those around him, by the media he consumes and the people who flatter him. 45 is either playing the most incredible game of Hamlet in history, or he is as I have described.

Eisenberg’s Luthor is basically the opposite of that. Eisenberg’s Luthor is a master manipulator, pulling strings of government officials and the media in order to push a violent agenda. His manipulations, in fact, succeed, because he acts from the shadows, with the kind of power that only money and manipulative skill can buy.

Basically, if you had to pick a member of 45’s administration as a real-life counterpart to Eisenberg’s Luthor, it’s not 45 himself you’re looking at.

It’s Steve Bannon.

Lex feels it when it happens, Clark spilling inside him -- a feeling he hadn’t realized he’d missed during his unintended celibacy these past few years.  It feels good, and while it doesn’t make Lex come, Lex doesn’t generally expect to come during sex -- he has masturbation for that, after all.

This...this is something different, and Lex keeps rolling his hips, slowly, hoping Clark enjoys that, at least.

ok so I’ve started rlly getting into reading N52!lex and i cannot stop having n52-lex-is-secretly-really-attracted-to-and-eventually-in-love-with-n52-supes feelings. reasons:




HE WEARS HIS CAPE NOW. literally now that his clark is dead, n52!lex is wearing his cape and his emblem and my heart is broken




part of the reason he used to hate superman is that superman is like, an idealized version of manhood that lex wasn’t (n52 action comics vol. 1 gives me a slightly pudgy, energy-drink-slinging, gets-into-weird-deals-with-aliens-he-met-online lex; he is garbage and i love him). basically lex hates him in part because he’s too hot (hot damn)




i saw a spread from the most recent action comics issue and lex is so mad that he’s stuck with this superman that isn’t his, to the point of goading supes into punching him in the face




i just love this garbage prince so much. he’s gay trash and i will keep him forever

“I’d better be. I might make a point of it.”

Chewing on her lip, she leans back—on nothing, seated in empty air by levitation, uncaring to restrain her magic around one so viscerally aware of it already. “Baby pictures, too. Sonogram black-and-whites of that little kidney bean that’s worth far more than its weight in gold. Quite a keepsake, don’t you think?”

Lex cracks his neck.  “Of course.”  He smirks a little.  “I have a schedule of appointments, which I’ll email you, if you’re interested in attending.”  He rubbed his belly.  “I get the feeling  it might be more interesting than just pictures.”

“The president, obviously.”

“You…got into an argument…with the president….on Twitter?”

“I suppose technically I’m in an argument with the person running the President’s twitter, but it’s all the same anyway.  People on the Internet saw me basically say that, ah, let me quote myself: Bruce, you’re not the man you used to be, and I have to say, trying to ruin Superman will end badly for you.  And I would know, wouldn’t I?”

Lex clings to Clark’s chest -- it’s been so long since he’s had sex, and sex has never felt like this, not remotely.  It’s addictive, he can feel it already in his blood.  He knows without having to be consciously aware of it that he will do this as often as Clark will let him, that he will need Clark, and his touch.

In the morning, maybe, that will terrify him.  But for now, all he can feel is pleasure.

"Are you planning to stay glued to my side this whole evening?”

“Absolutely,” Lex said, cracking his neck. “I haven’t been out of my lab in six months, pretty much. This is…weird, for me.”

Protective sentence starters??

because visualizing muses in these situations generally equates to puppies guarding each other and its wonderful

“No, don’t do that it’s not safe.”

“You’re scared of that, aren’t you?”

“Don’t touch her/him!”

“It’s cute that you tried to protect me and all, but you’re like a foot shorter than me, you know?”

“I will always step in between you and something like that.”

“Why? Because I don’t want you to get hurt, that’s why!”

“Do you think just because my feet don’t touch the bottom of the pool that I need a floatie?”

“The stepping stool is unecessary.”

“I’m not apologizing for what I said to that asshole/jerk… He/she was saying terrible things about you.”

“If you say another word about her/him, you’ll regret it.” 

“I don’t want to put you in that type of environment.”

“Make sure to tell me if you get worried, or nervous, or claustrophobic, or-”

“You could have been hurt.”

“I indirected him/her on Twitter for your honor.”

“I think you should leave this type of thing to me.”

“I’m gonna protect you.”

“You can hold onto me if you’re scared, you know?”

“I’m not leaving you alone.  Not now, not ever.”

“Let’s all watch a different movie.  This one freaks her/him out.”

“I get where you’re coming from dude, but honestly shut the hell up and don’t talk about her/him that way.”

“She/He isn’t an object.”

“She/he told me what you did, and all I’m gonna do is tell you to stay away.”

“You don’t know anything about her/him!”

“What?  You think that was funny?  You just insulter her/him, and expect me to laugh?”

“I’m not gonna let you put up with that.”

“Really, if you told me to I’d go punch them for you.”

“Wait, let me walk you home.”

“I’ll drive you, please– please don’t go like this.”

“It’s dangerous.”

“I’m worried about you.”

“I meant it when I said I would protect you.”

“I’m not stepping aside until you back up.”

“It’s too cold for you to come out here without a jacket on.”

“I’ll go see what the noise was.”

“Stay on the phone with me.”

“Promise me you’ll be safe.”

“I don’t feel comfortable with you going there on your own.”

“He/She did what to you?”

“I won’t let you go through something like that again.”

“I’m not perfect, but I’m trying my hardest to do everything to keep you safe.”

“Stay behind me.”

“I promised your mom to make sure you didn’t do anything stupid tonight.”

“I love you.  Of course I’m gonna defend you like that.”

“No, he/she isn’t good enough to take you out.  Trust me, I know.” 

“Are you planning to stay glued to my side this whole evening?”

“I’ll be okay, because I know you’re back here ready to step in if I need you.”

“Thank you for always sticking with me.”

“I’m really worried about her/him, but I don’t think he/she wants me to call.”

“I don’t know what I would do if something happened to you.”

“Like, I don’t expect to ever have to take a bullet for you, but I would.”

Lex doesn’t mean to corner Sean under the mistletoe, he promises – it was a total and complete accident.

But now that they’re here, he’s not entirely sure what to do.

“…So, uh, you might wanna look up?”

Lex moans as Clark rolls his hips.  It feels -- it feels incredible.  Clark’s coiled steel body drives into him in a way that almost feels like a controlled car crash -- exhilarating, and the only good kind of violence there is.  He aches from the nails digging into his skin, but it feels better than anything ever has before.

“Clark,” he breathes, “Fuck, Clark.”
