An Assortment of Things

CINDERELLA (1950)

Lolll Roy was indeed taken so I'll do Lois!

favorite thing about them: She is an absolute lunatic and I never want her to stop. Yes girl jump out of that window. Yes girl confront that villain. I believe in you! Get that scoop!

least favorite thing about them: The way pop culture and the bro side of comics fandom so often gets major things wrong about her. No, she's not too stupid to know Clark is Superman - she was CONSTANTLY trying to prove it for decades. No, she's not being mean for preferring Superman to Clark - during eras when Clark was VERY DELIBERATELY ACTING LIKE A WEASEL as part of his disguise. Learn to read, comics bros!

favorite line: This is the movie version, not the comics, and I don't even like the Donner movies, and this is a test scene from the Donner cut of Superman II so it's not even in the real movie...but there's that great scene where she's trying to prove Clark is Superman so she takes out a gun and shoots him and Reeve does that wonderful physical transition from Clark's body language to Superman's and says "You know, if you were wrong, you could have killed Clark Kent"...and she just smiles and says "With a blank?" QUEEN.

brOTP: JIMMYYYYYY I need more of these two engaging in shenanigans!!!

OTP: Clark, obviously.

nOTP: Poor Lois barely ever gets to date anyone who isn't Clark. I mean. Lex, I guess?

random headcanon: I AM TEAM VIOLET EYES LANE UNTIL I DIE.

unpopular opinion: I don't think she would actually like Bruce all that much.

song i associate with them: I don't know that I have one?

favorite picture of them:

This, too, is a trashed bathroom; young queer people living through hell and having precious little control over their circumstances or the world in which they exist can affect something by using the language of social justice as a cudgel on their would-be allies, as well as getting a brief feeling of power over someone else by doing it.

The Sir David Attenborough That Lives In My Brain: Being smaller-than-average presents an added challenge to foraging ... but necessity is the mother of invention. A little creativity turns a baguette into a tool, and voilà--

(paper towel roll falls on my face)

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Superman always made me think of Sunflowers, coincidentally my favourite flower too

Close-ups under the cut

So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

Absolutely not

You know who would try that shit?

Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?

You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?
