#lara luthor

So here’s a couple ideas that y’all can vote on with a description/Synopsis for each:

Lex and Lara: Lex has come to accept that good days will become bad days eventually. Usually that happens when a PR scandal occurs or when Superman decides to break something belonging to LexCorp. Tonight though, it happened with a phone call from the Metropolis County Sheriff’s Office, telling him that an ex he hasn’t seen in 7 years got into an accident with her now 6 and a half year old daughter. With the mother dead and all signs pointing to Lex as the father, Lex has to either readjust his entire life for a child he didn’t know he had, or risk letting the only family he has left be put in the foster system.

Untitled Daisy Project 1: Daisy Dansen had always looked down on the idea of producing art for the one percent of society, but bills had to be paid. So against all sense she had, Daisy took one of her favorite pieces she’d done of Ariadne being abandoned on the island of Naxos to a gallery event, only to find an old childhood friend, Lex Luthor, had grown handsomely along with his bank account. Lex offers not only to buy the painting, but to ease some of Daisy’s burdens… for a price of course.

Untitled Daisy Project 2: A messy breakup, being disowned, losing both job and apartment, and now a positive pregnancy test. How could Daisy’s week get worse? Her ancient pickup breaking down in the middle of a storm in bumfuck Kansas of course! With nowhere to go, Daisy thought she might as well give up, but the farmers that lived in the farm Daisy broke down in front of had a habit of taking in strays.

Ivory: Who doesn’t love another batkid? When Batman responds to an explosion outside of Gotham and finds a terrified child that can only speak ancient Latin in the middle of the rubble, Batman does what he does best, take her in. This short side comic series sets up a future arch in Miss Cosmic while explaining where Ivory Wayne, Lara Luthor’s best friend and badass punk, came from.

Like yeah he sucks sometimes and does some terrible things but I dunno he’s been a good dad to me.

Lara and Lex take a trip to the dollar store.

Introducing Gef Lee, our obvious bad guy for the Sins of the Father arch for Miss Cosmic!

I won’t give away too much but I will say he used to work for Lex and didn’t exactly like getting fired.

Gef is actually based off two different Indie and kinda indie horror games that I love. Peraonality and appearance wise he’s heavily modeled off Jimmy from Mouthwashing but his suit is (as you may have guessed) based off FNAF.

Me and Beck were bouncing around the idea of Glitchtrap and how much she loved the fandoms original name for him and how we both decided he was the most horrifying thing to come out of FNAF so we repurposed him a bit. I thought it would be hilarious to imply that he stole the mask from a similar in world pizzaria (I have dubbed it Gef the Mongoose’s Pizza Party Palace.)

The Gef the Mongoose inspo came later as I was looking for ideas for an animal that wasn’t a rabbit and remembered Gef the Mongoose existed and how mad I was that he was temporarily tainted by jerkface McGee in the movie voicing him.

I’d also like to point out the stretchy arms and legs coming from me having been into Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel for a while and really liking the stretchy idea for Fizz. Not as into it anymore with everything going on there but I still liked the concept.

The first “issue” of Miss Cosmic is officially here!

Since Tumblr won’t let me upload pdfs I have a link to the google drive where you can (if I have the settings right) write comments and let me know what you think! Or comment them below!

If you enjoy I beg you to please reblog or like or reply or whatever you can! This is a small personal project I’ve been passionate about for months now and am excited to put it out in the world!

Hope yall like it!

(In case you don’t know, Vogue does a 73 question interview with celebrities. I already had this image and thought it would be fun to do this!)

1. What’s your favorite time of day?

Probably just before I go to bed. Just sitting in bed and getting work done while having things go on in the background is very relaxing to me.

2. What’s your biggest weakness?

I’m such a people pleaser. Like the “if your friends jumped off a bridge, would you” thing was used a lot by my dad when I was a kid.

3. What’s your biggest strength?

If I find something or someone I like I tend to bite on and not let go like a rabid dog. I need to know everything about it and be the best at it.

4. What’s the biggest learning experience you’ve had?

I remember having this one school project as a kid where I was trying to grow two seeds next to each other to see what the roots would do when they grew because I was convinced they would enter twine and create a new plant or something (in retrospect I have no clue what I was thinking). The thing is it took forever to get the dang things to grow in the plastic cup I was using and I actually started to panic a bit as we got closer to the due date. The day of came and I was ready to plead on my hands and knees for a good grade when I woke up and saw that the roots had grown and the two were kinda dancing around each other.

Long story short, patience is important in anything and worrying doesn’t do anything but stress you out.

5. What’s your idea of a perfect date?

You know, I’d love to go camping on a beach with someone. Have a nice picnic, go on a walk together, then go to sleep in a tent listening to the waves together.

6. What’s one vice you wish you could give up?

Energy drinks and coffee. I’ve got such a caffeine addiction I actually get shaky if I go too long without it.

7. What’s a cause that’s important to you?

I’ve got a couple actually but the big ones that I’ll go on rants about are children’s advocacy especially for kids in the foster care system, gay rights, and equal pay and treatment for women in the workforce (especially in STEM.)

8. What’s the best compliment you have ever received?

I had a little girl come up to me once and ask if I was a princess. I almost sobbed in the car later.

9. When do you feel the most inspired?

God that’s a hard one. I’d have to say when something about a problem or a puzzle or anything like that finally clicks. The high from figuring something out I couldn’t before will get me going for at least a day.

10. Sweet or savory?

Depends on the day but I’d probably say sweet usually.

11. What song can you listen to on repeat?

I’ve been listening to Dark Lady by Cher a lot recently so probably that?

12. What makes you smile the most?

Probably my dog. She’s a little mess of a thing and just existing around her makes me happy.

13. What’s one thing people don’t know about you?

Not quite something people don’t know about me but something they forget is that I grew up on a farm for my first six years of life. I get this reputation for being delicate and breakable but I used to climb trees and try to race the horses to the other side of the paddock.

14. Heels or flats or sneakers?

Heels but if my feet get tired then sneakers.

15. Vintage or new?

Vintage just because it tends to mean more to me. I’ll get a lot of new clothes but getting an old pair of vintage shoes makes me feel connected to someone I may have never even known.

16. What are three things you can’t live without?

The internet, coffee, and my allergy medications.

17. Window or aisle seat?

Window 100%.

18. What’s your current tv character obsession?

I’ve been rewatching *Chuck* for the millionth time and Casey is my favorite.

19. Leather or lace?

Lace. I always feel way too uncomfortable in leather.

20. What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done in your life?

Maybe my study abroad? At the time it felt like I was jumping into an entirely different world on my own for the first time.

21. How would you define yourself in three words?

Curious, preppy, passionate

22. What’s your current favorite piece of clothing that you own?

I recently got a pink suit jacket from Antonio Melani and I’m obsessed.

23. What’s a must-have clothing item everyone should own?

I’m convinced everyone should have a good white undershirt.

24. What’s inspiring you in life right now?

My dad is always my biggest inspiration.

25. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received?

Not received but I love this one Robin Williams quote that says, “you’re only given one spark of madness. Don’t lose it.”

26. What’s your pet peeve?

People that overfill the trash can and don’t take the trash out when it’s full are my worst enemies.

27. Diamonds or pearls?

Diamonds. They’re a girl’s best friend after all.

28. What’s something you notice about someone when you first meet them?

How they carry themselves I think. It usually sets up how I’m going to carry myself so I like to pay attention to that.

29. What’s your biggest regret?

I hate to say I don’t know but I regret a lot. I guess I regret being really hard on myself because everything I do wrong feels like a major regret.

30. What’s heavily played on your playlist right now?

Been listening to Edge of Seventeen a lot lately.

31. What’s your favorite board game?

Battleship. If you ever get the chance to play it with my dad I highly recommend it because he gets very into it and lights up like a damn kid when he sinks a ship.

32. What’s your guilty pleasure?

Potato chips. I will devour a party sized bag if I’m not paying attention.

33. What book did you most recently finish?

Hedy’s Folly by Richard Rhodes. I’ve always been fascinated by Hedy Lamarr and when I found this book I just had to read it.

34. What are you currently reading?

The Great Gatsby. I got to see the musical and fell in love with it all over again.

35. How do you start your day?

Doomscrolling for fifteen minutes, getting up and going through a skincare routine, getting ready for the day and then drinking about two cups of coffee before heading out.

36. What’s your favorite holiday?

Halloween. Any excuse to dress up is an excuse I will take.

37. If you could raid one woman’s closet, who would it be?

Ariana Grande.

38. If you could switch lives with one person for a day, who would it be?

I don’t actually know. Who’s currently dating Jason Momoa?

39. What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to try but you’ve been too scared to do?

Not quite scared to do it but I wish I could learn ballet, but I’m also afraid of messing up my feet. Apparently I have a high score on Wikifeet and I don’t know why but I’m proud of that?

40. What’s the one thing you wish you knew at age 19?

It’s ok for everything to not be perfect. In fact, it’s almost impossible for things to be perfect all the time.

41. Besides your phone or wallet, what are a couple of must have handbag items?

A mint or two just in case and some lipstick for a refresh. Also some Zyrtec if you’re me.

42. If you were not an engineer, what would you be doing?

I mean if we’re going crazy I’d say I’d want to be an astronaut, but realistically I’d probably go into modeling full time.

43. What’s something you can’t do?

I can’t roll my r’s. I’ve done everything I can but it just doesn’t work.

44. Where was the best vacation you’ve ever taken?

Definitely this cruise around Greece I went on. As someone practically raised on Greek mythology it was like a dream come true.

45. What’s one city you’ve always dreamed of travelling to?

Probably Buenos Aires realistically but I’d love to see Themyscera. Though I doubt with my family history that they’d let me in.

46. What’s something you always travel with?

AirPods. I cannot survive without music playing while I travel.

47. Favorite food?

Shrimp scampi.

48. Favorite dessert?

Cheesecake.

49. Favorite snack?

Ruffles.

50. What’s a movie that made you cry?

Father of the Bride gets me every single time. Especially the end.

51. What’s your favorite movie of the last five years?

The Barbie Movie. I’d kill to see it for the first time again.

52. What’s the one talent you wish you had?

I wish more than anything that I was good at art. My mom was an artist and if I could ever create something like her it would mean a lot.

53. What’s your favorite exercise?

I mean I’ll tend to do several sets on the rowing machine if I can.

54. What’s your favorite band?

It’s a three way tie between three very different groups. Queen, Abba, and The Fratellis who a good friend of mine introduced me to.

55. What’s your favorite fast food order?

Chicken strips, fries, and a medium Diet Coke.

56. What’s something you don’t want to be doing in 10 years?

Still living in my dad’s shadow. I love him but I want to make my own mark on the world.

57. What’s the cutest thing on planet earth?

Baby. Seals. I would die for seals.

58. What’s the best thing that happened this year?

I mean, we’re only halfway through but probably this. I’ve wanted to do Vogue for a long time.

59. What’s your favorite cocktail?

Do piña coladas count?

60. Which movie makes you laugh the hardest?

Maybe Clueless because it’s like watching myself in high school again.

61. What do you usually eat for dinner?

Some type of pasta usually.

62. What do you usually eat for lunch?

Whatever is open and near LexCorp when I’m on my break. So I get a LOT of Panera.

63. What do you usually eat for breakfast?

I’m actually not much of a breakfast person! Just coffee is all I need for me to get up and go.

64. What’s your favorite thing in the world?

Building things. It’s like meditation.

65. What’s your favorite color?

Pink!

66. What color clothing do you wear the most?

Also pink but I wear a lot of green too.

67. What are three words to describe living in Metropolis?

Fun, weird, worth it… but I guess that’s four?

68. Do you like surprises?

I mean it depends on the surprise. If the surprise is “here’s a slice of cake cause it’s someone’s birthday in the office” I love it. If it’s “plot twist! You forgot the carpet people were coming today!” I have a mini panic attack.

69. What’s one thing you had to learn the hard way?

Not everyone is going to like you and that’s alright. Don’t waste your effort on trying to convince someone that you’re their cup of tea when you’re not…. That and pepper spray is not a toy.

70. What’s something you’re tired of?

People asking me what my dad’s “evil plans for the week” are. I don’t know what he has planned to try to destroy Superman this time. I learned long ago to stay out of it.

71. Who do you turn to when you’re sad?

My dad or my friends.

72. What’s a trend you would like to see disappear forever?

If I see one more meme about Bruce Wayne being Superman or something I will lose my mind. As someone who has met him, there is no way that himbo could be a superhero.

73. What did you want to do with your life when you were 12?

[All art done by @elven-beckons ]

Our main character, Lara Luthor, is, as you might guess, Lex Luthor's 21-year-old daughter in this universe.

She's known for being a bit of an airhead despite being a literal genius in the engineering field, having already graduated with a doctorate in mechanical engineering from Metropolis Tech.

She wasn't always raised in the cradle of cash that is LexCorp's billion-dollar monopolies, though you'll find out more about that in a post here. Nonetheless, the media tends to label her as the dumb blonde stereotype (despite being a redhead) who relies on her daddy's money for everything.

Having that reputation and also being the kid of possibly the most hated guy on the planet kinda takes a toll on your self worth, and combining that with her sense of survivor’s guilt over her mother’s death led her to create her own version of Lex’s battle suit so she can be her own person. Someone that’s not just the rich kid. Someone that’s not the child of a capitalist monster.
