thought I would share some of the incredible amphibian diversity we see in our garden. all of these creatures are from the same genus of treefrogs, Litoria (excepting Green Tree frogs, which are also often described as genus Ranoidea).
Tumblr media
a Broad-palmed Rocket Frog (Litoria latopalmata), who we have spotted in the bog cave the past few nights! this species has proven to be highly variable in colour and patterning, so always interesting to encounter.
Tumblr media
the pebble-shaped Desert Tree Frog (Litoria rubella), who hunt insects on my car in multitudes.
Tumblr media
one of my favourites, the Peron's Laughing Tree Frog (Litoria peronii). at a distance they appear a uniform beige, but a closer look reveals flecks of emerald green across textured skin. this species tends to be a bit larger than the other frogs, but is still dwarfed by the Green Tree Frog.
Tumblr media
a Slender Bleating Tree Frog (Litoria balatus), who I have posted before. one of the smallest of the frogs we see, but nonetheless intriguing with their yellow toes, and vibrant red eye.
Tumblr media
last, and largest, is the conspicuous Green Tree Frog (Litoria/Ranoidea caerulea), a species found across much of the continent, and frequently found around human dwellings.
that's 5 species of tree frog all found within our relatively small garden, which is pretty amazing. we've also recently encountered a pair of Striped Marsh Frogs (Lymnodynastes sp.) around the pond (hopefully I can get a good photo soon), and of course there are the ever-present Cane Toads (Rhinella marina).

I have many frogs to share.
1. Peron’s Tree Frog: one of the many that live in my garden. They get inside the water reservoirs of the pots I have my strawberry plants in (sometimes they climb my bedroom window and I awaken to a frog shaped print on the glass)
2. Australian green tree frog: found on my front path while weeding the garden. Poor thing was all dry as it hadn’t rained in a bit. It perked up after having a soak and I put it in a moist spot of the garden and placed an old plant saucer I keep filled with either rain water or garden hose water.
3: Magnificent Tree Frog: seen in a really nice enclosure at a smaller wildlife park near where I live. Striking a very nice pose.
I try to minimise handling and have damp hands when dealing with frogs as is appropriate but sometimes if frog encountering is unexpected I don’t always have time to go wet my hands. All contact with the frogs here though was very minimal (as in 30-40 seconds max) just for moving them to more appropriate safe locations in the garden.

SUCH EXCELLENT FORGS!!

can you recommend books about elizabeth and edward ?
Hi! I'm sorry, i'm super late for this reply.
For Elizabeth Woodville:
"Elizabeth Woodville: Mother of the Princes in the Tower" by David Baldwin - my peronal favourite biography, very detailed, can be a bit dry but disspels many myths about her and treats her with great respect not only as a mother and wife but as a queen.
"Elizabeth: England's Slandered Queen (England's Forgotten Queens)" by Arlene Okerlund - a well written biography with lots on information not only about Elizabeth but also her Woodville family.
"The Woodvilles" by Susan Higginbotham - very pro-Elizabeth and her family as the title suggests, anti-ricardian.
"The Women of the Cousins' War: The Duchess, the Queen and the King's Mother"  - Elizabeth's section is written by David Baldwin.
"Royal Witches: Witchcraft and Nobility in Fifteenth Century England" by Gemma Hollman - despite the dubious title a very sympathetic book towards royal women (Joan of Navarre, Jacquetta of Luxemburg and Elizabeth Woodville) in the 15th century accused of witchcraft during their time. Elizabeth's chapter is well researched.
For Edward IV:
"Edward IV" by Charles Ross - a classic biography, rather dry but rich on primary sources.
"Edward IV: Glorious Son of York" by Jeffrey James - a sympathetic biography that shows Edward as man of his times, who won battles but also had an unwarlike disposition and who cared about his family but also had a temper.
"Edward IV and the Wars of the Roses" by David Santiuste - more about Edward IV's military pursuits than life as a king, still a good read.
For Edward and Elizabeth:
"Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville: A True Romance" by Amy Licence - I'd say this double biography focuses more on Edward than Elizabeth but its a well written book and the author clearly has a lot of love for her research and dispels some myths about them.
Fiction:
"The White Rose" by Jan Westcot - my all time favorite Edward and Elizabeth novel. It presents an interesting (and more believable imo) idea how they could have met (not "the waiting under the oak tree" version) and has so many scenes with them and their kids, portraying loving family during turbulent times. Can be cheesy as it's written in the 60s or 70s.
"The Golden Widows" by Isolde Martyn - a double romance with Kate Neville and Lord Hastings and Elizabeth Woodville and Edward IV. Touches on Elizabeth's more practical side and shows her life a bit with her first husband and her struggles after his death and ultimately romance with Edward.
"The White Queen" by Philippa Gregory - hear me out! if you ignore all the bullshit about witchcraft and other misogynic stuff the book is hot for Edward and Elizabeth fans.

To help stimulate(?) myself into writing, I am going to info dump about a new OC I am crafting.
Johnny Lore/Background
Endabeing OC (Endabeing/Slenderbeing/Slender)
Slenderman and his brothers were the only "known" Endabeings to exist (on Earth) for the longest time. Slenderman is at least 100 years old at this time.
That was until Johnny's parent's generation arrived. There was a large (scary and dangerous) resurgence of Endabeings flowing onto Earth for a while before new ones stopped appearing.
Johnny is part of the generation after them, being quite young for an Endabeing, only around 68 years old, making Slenderman and his brothers around 150+ at this current time.
Johnny lives on and owns his farm, having his own self-sustaining garden in an inclosed greenhouse, and having animals to look after.
It was while he was tending to a few sickly animals that he noticed. He noticed the taller, certainly older, and most certainly more powerful Endabeing watching him from the edge of the woods bordering the back end of the pastures.
It took a while, but he noticed that as time went on, the suit-clad Endabeing watching him from the woods was slowly edging closer and closer to the threshold. And then he was past the trees, slowly walking up to Johnny as he held a curious chicken in his arms.
After Slenderman approached Johnny is when a sort of friendship bloomed. They weren't necessarily friends, but they weren't hostile either at the start. And with Johnny being the sweet man he is, their friendship did bloom to the point Slenderman was staying over for tea/coffee.
As they got to know each other better, Johnny began wishing their friendship would become something more. He liked this Endabeing, and despite his parents warning him against older ones being cynical and evil, this one didn't seem to fit the picture they tried painting.
All Johnny really knows of his kinds culture or traditions, is recipies. The community is the teacher in Endabeing culture, but his parents were known to be recluses, so it wasn't surprising when they decided to live on the outskirts of an already out-of-the-way Human farming community.
About Johnny's peronality/interests
Johnny is a shy, but extroverted man. He is easy to talk to, but hesitates to allow people to know much about him. He also has a hard time telling people about his feelings, part of the reason why he suffers quietly when Slenderman is visiting or away.
He wishes he was courageous enough to express his feelings to Slenderman, but he just isn't, and is also terrible at picking up social cues, so he wouldn't know if Slenderman feels the same way.
He loves studying the plants in the woods surrounding his farm, noticing that his presence has started to not only affect what grows there, but also affect what was already there, morphing the enviornment into one humans would find eerie and alien, but one he'd find reminds him of home.
He also loves animals, ranging from native ones from his homeworld and those native to Earth, finding what are categorized as "farm animals" to be some of the cutest ever.
Chickens are among his favorites, so he has a lot, and most of his can fly and are free roam, free to even venture into the woods. All his animals are, if they aren't sick or injured.
He is definetly a plant and cat dad in one, having a few barn cats, and at least two indoor cats, his windowsills all occupied with many house plants, even cultivating mushrooms in his basement, where he keeps most of his indoor-care gear.
Johnny loves baking, and cooking. If we were to combine this post with the Lore post I did for the Brothers, he would have learned a good majority of Earthly recipies from them, seeing as how each Brother runs their own Restaurant.
Coupled with Splendorman's bakery, he learned even more Earthly recipies from him! And he in turn taught the Brothers Homeworld recipies, seeing as how he learned a rather rough way they new almost nothing of their culture. He doesn't know much either, but his parents at least taught him recipies from Homeworld.
He loves baking, and the cottage-core aesthetic, and loves to wear feminine-leaning clothing. He absolutely has a bartender-esk outfit themed around mushrooms, complete with an optional mushroomcap hat!
SFW info
He is a bottom, and malewife. He loves cuddles, and being held. He is very physically affectionate, ranging from face rubs to wrapping himself around his partner.
He loves it when his partner holds his hands and complements them, as he is insecure about them because of how sinewy and skinny they look.
He has love handles, and gets stunned into silence when his partner rubs them, or holds them. Being hugged from behind, especially when he is cooking/baking, makes him very flustered.
Johnny loves having lazy mornings in bed. He feels its an intimate time, one where kissing and nuzzling and roaming hugs are special.
Feeding each other is also something Johnny finds romantic. Really dates are something he loves, especially when they are secluded, or have fancy food involved.
He loves getting flowers, especially if the giver was thoughtful about flower language. Flower language is something he devoted to learning by heart, knowing each and every flowers words by said heart. So recieving a thought out bouquet is really touching to him.
He face, thighs, and hands are oddly tender, so them being softly touched and nuzzled or held make his face glow purple. (he has purple blood)
NSFW info
He is a virgin, currently. He is not very knowledgeable in the Sex department, but he isn't naive to it one bit. He hardly knows what kink is, much less what one is.
Bending him over a countertop will get him riled, especially if he is trying to bake. Fucking him from behind in general will make him flustered beyond belief, especially when his partners face is buried into his neck, and their hands are on his hips, or gripping his thighs apart for better access.
Really, making him feel small will make him tremble, blush dark hues, and get hard. He thinks its really hot if his boner is being rubbed through his pants. Rub him through any of his clothes and he is arching his back and uttering pretty little whimpers.
Holding his legs up, and leaving him vulnerable is a great way to make him melt. Restraining him in any way makes him squrim and make cute noises. Just don't make anything too tight.
Being manhandled makes him flustered and whimpery, especially if messy tongue kisses are added into the mix.
Love bites. Especially if they end up everywhere, if he sees them the next morning while he is getting ready for the day, he blushes hard and feels giddy. He loves hand-holding too. Like, if his partner is restraining his arms by holding his hands above his with theirs, he'll love it.
Showing how big you are prepared to him. He is definetly the one to want a bigger/stronger partner. He is a runt of an Endabeing, so he'd trade his wife-ness for a strong and capable partner to protect him. If his partner wraps their hands around his thigh, and it turns out their fingers wrap all the way around, he stiffens, because holy shit-
Being stradled, or being sat in their lap will make Johhny flustered. Especially if extra attention is being directed to rubbing his hips and waist. (He def has birthing hips lmao)
Seeing as how almost all Endabeings (yes, even the brothers) at this point in time can have kids, if he gets pregnant he gets butterflies in his stomach. He wasn't expecting it to happen, but he loves being domestic with his partner, so a child would bring a whole new level to that domestic-ness and make him very happy.

Finalmente l’Argentina
L’ho sognata per anni, prima e dopo il corona virus.
Finalmente siam partiti, Giampiero ed io.
In primis Buenos Aires: il cuore pulsante di un paese grande quasi 3 milioni di km².
Nella parte nord della città abbiamo visitato i ricchi quartieri di Palermo
Tumblr media Tumblr media
e di Recoleta, nel cui cimitero riposa Eva Peron.
Tumblr media
Poi Plaza de Mayo con la Casa Rosada, il Parlamento e la Catedral, da cui proviene Papa Francesco.
Tumblr media
Eccellente caffe da “Pertutti”: bar sontuoso, sembrava di essere al S. Carlo di Torino.
Lasciamo B.A. per volare a El Calafate e visitare il Parque Nacional “Los Glaciares”, dove sono presenti tre diversi ambienti:
l’alta montagna, con i famosi ghiacciai Perito Moreno e Upsala
il bosco andino-patagonico, con foreste di Lenga e Nire
la steppa patagonica, settimo maggior deserto del mondo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Partiamo per escursione d’intera giornata “Todo Glaciares”, navigando il lago argentino tra gli iceberg, con sosta per il lunch alla base Spegazzini.
Tumblr media
Successiva tappa: Ushuaia. Sorvoliamo lo stretto di Magellano e raggiungiamo questa perla di città ai confini del mondo.
Tumblr media
Qui, sotto l’ottima guida di Mariano, visitiamo il parco nazionale “Tierra del Fuego”, dove i primi abitanti, gli indios Ona, usavano accendere grandi fuochi, da cui il nome dato dai primi colonizzatori.
Segue la navigazione sul canale di Beagle, dove ammiriamo le colonie di leoni marini e di cormorani.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Al 9° giorno voliamo a Trelew e raggiungiamo Puerto Madryn. visitiamo quindi la Peninsula Valdes, dove alla Estancia S. Lorenzo possiamo camminare in mezzo alla più grande colonia di pinguini del continente.
Tumblr media
Al tramonto ci imbarchiamo a Puerto Piramides per ammirare le balene: eccitante, ma un freddo boia!
Il 4° volo è per le cascate di Iguazù. Le ammiriamo da sopra e da sotto, dal versante argentino e da quello brasiliano: una meraviglia!
Tumblr media
Concludiamo la nostra vacanza con la visita ai quartieri sud di Buenos Aires, S. Telmo e La Boca.
Tumblr media
Alla sera non possiamo mancare lo spettacolo del tango.
Tumblr media
È stato un viaggio magnifico, anche se molto stancante, organizzato dall’agenzia Etlim di Imperia per un gruppo di 22 persone con cui ci siamo trovati bene. Il viaggio è durato 15 gg., di cui 2 di viaggio con Argentina Aerolineas, durata 14 ore (-4 all’andata + 4 al ritorno).
Oltre ai bei ricordi ci portiamo a casa anche quattro riproduzioni di un artista argentino che esponeva a Ushuaia.
Tumblr media
I DREAMED IT FOR YEARS, BEFORE AND AFTER THE CORONA VIRUS.
AT LAST WE DID IT, GIAMPIERO AND I.
FIRST BUENOS AIRES: THE BEATING HEART OF THIS COUNTRY, ALMOST 3 MILLION SQUARE KM. LARGE.
IN THE NORTH OF THE CITY WE VISITED THE WEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS OF PALERMO AND RECOLETA, IN WHOSE CEMETERY RESTS EVA PERON.
THEN PLAZA DE MAYO WITH THE CASA ROSADA, THE PARLIAMENT AND THE CATHEDRAL, FROM WHICH POPE FRANCIS COMES.
EXCELLENT COFFEE AT “PERTUTTI”: SUMPTUOUS BAR, WE FELT LIKE BEING AT THE S.CARLO IN TURIN.
WE LEAVE B.A.TO FLY TO EL CALAFATE AND VISIT THE PARQUE NACIONAL LOS GLACIARES, WHERE THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS:
THE HIGH MOUNTAINS, WITH THE FAMOUS GLACIERS PERITO MORENO AND UPSALA
THE PATAGONIAN-ANDEAN FOREST, MOSTLY COVERED BY LENGA AND NIRE TREES
THE PATAGONIAN STEPPE, THE 7TH WIDEST DESERT IN THE WORLD.
WE HAVE A FULL-DAY EXCURSION CALLED “TODO GLACIARES” SAILING ON THE ARGENTINE LAKE AMONG THE ICEBERGS AND STOPPING FOR LUNCH AT THE SPEGAZZINI BASE. NEXT STOP: USHUAIA. WE FLY OVER THE STRAIT OF MAGELLAN AND REACH THIS PEARL OF A CITY AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD.
HERE, UNDER THE VERY GOOD GUIDANCE OF MARIANO, WE VISIT THE NATIONAL PARK “TIERRA DEL FUEGO”, WHERE THE FIRST INHABITANTS, THE INDIOS ONA, USED TO LIGHT BIG FIRES, HENCE THE NAME GIVEN BY THE FIRST COLONIZERS.
THEN WE SAIL ON THE BEAGLE CHANNEL, WHERE WE ADMIRE THE COLONIES OF SEA LIONS AND CORMORANTS.
ON THE 9TH DAY WE FLY TO TRELEW AND WE REACH PUERTO MADRYN. WE THEN VISIT THE PENINSULA VALDES, WHERE AT THE ESTANCIA S.LORENZO WE WALK AMONG THE BIGGEST COLONY OF PENGUINS IN THE CONTINENT.
AT SUNSET WE GO TO PUERTO PIRAMIDES TO ADMIRE THE WHALES: EXCITING, BUT FREEZING COLD!
THE 4TH FLIGHT IS TO IGUAZU WATERFALLS. WE ADMIRE THEM FROM ABOVE AND BELOW, BOTH SIDES (ARGENTINEAN & BRASILIAN): A WONDER!
WE END OUR TRIP WITH A LAST TOUR IN B.A., THIS TIME TO THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CITY: S. TELMO AND LA BOCA. AND IN THE EVENING WE CAN’T MISS THE TANGO EXHIBITION.
IT WAS A MAGNIFICENT JOURNEY, ALTHOUGH VERY TIRING, ORGANISED BY THE ETLIM AGENCY IN IMPERIA. WE WERE A GROUP OF 22 PEOPLE, WE HAD A GOOD TIME. IT LASTED 15 DAYS, 2 OF WHICH TRAVELLING WITH ARGENTINA AEROLINEAS FOR 14 HOURS (-4 TO GO + 4 TO COME BACK)
IN ADDITION TO THE GOOD MEMORIES, WE TOOK HOME FOUR REPRODUCTIONS OF AN ARGENTINE ARTIST WHO EXHIBITED IN USHUAIA.

Top 5 frogs, go.
Oh I am so glad you asked this
1) has to go to the Green Tree Frog (Ranoidea caerulea), absolute classic frog, textbook. Just a little green guy who eats bugs. Love them.
2) the Perons Tree Frog (Litoria peronii) is a wonderful little guy. They have thunder thighs (bright marbled patterning on the inside of their legs that flashes when they jump to make predators think they're poisonous) and are also called the emerald-speckled tree frog, laughing tree frog, and maniacal cackle frog for obvious reasons.
3) goes to the Pobblebonk!! (Limnodynastes dumerilii) I love these little guys!! They go bonk bonk bonk like a banjo, wonderful
4) the Whooping Frog (Heleioporus inornatus) is native to Western Australia and sounds like a little video game character doing a jump, ain't that neat?
5) the Sunset Frog (Spicospina flammocaerulea) is a rare little guy who looks like a molten rock, but they're endangered :( hope they recover soon
Thanks again :)

Missing You
Fandom: The Umbrella Academy Summary: Klaus is in Dallas when he runs into a familiar face. Warnings: Trans male pregnancy, mentions of major character death, mentions of war, mentions of substance abuse Word Count: 945 Ship(s): Klaus Hargreeves/Dave Katz
Archive link!
A/N: So this idea had been rattling around in my head for quite some time and I decided that I was going to turn it into a drabble instead of fleshing it out into a huge fic. I hope that you all enjoy it! Stay sissy and bitchy everyone <3
Over the past several years living back in the past, Klaus had gotten very good at juggling all the things that he had to do. For the first year he had been hiding a pregnancy while also performing shows for the wealthy elite that were friends with the kindly woman that took him in after that first date. The second and third year he was balancing being a father with all the trials and tribulations that came along with that as well as running a cult. He had succeeded pretty well, though he had to admit that Ben had saved his bacon more than once.
He now had a third and fourth thing added to that pile, though. He had gone back to Dallas so that he could have a break in the mansion and just spend at least a week with his son where he wasn’t surrounded by his fanatics. He should have known that the second he returned back to the place where he had been when he first arrived in the past that his family would find him and an apocalypse would follow.
So now, he was walking around Dallas with his son following dutifully behind him and a collection of posters clutched in his other hand. He paused when he saw a hardware store with a large glass window, which would be the perfect place to hang one of the missing peron’s posters that he had been until then taping to trees and telephone poles.
“Stay close to Daddy, okay, Noah?” he said carefully as he looked down to make sure that his son was still right beside him where he had been moments prior.
“I know, Daddy,” Noah replied. The toddler was absolutely brilliant, something that he had no doubt gotten from his sire given Klaus’ own childhood unwillingness to talk and his struggles in school. He had Klaus dark skin and wild curls, but they were blond instead of brown and his eyes were the same shining blue that the love of Klaus’s life had been. Noah was the entire reason that Klaus had kept pushing through after everything that he had been through.
“Can I help you?” an all-too-familiar voice asked as they walked around the back counter where the register was.
Klaus turned around and then felt his heart stop in his chest. Standing before him was none other than the other half of Noah, the man that he had fallen so in love with that he was desperate to change the worst part of who he was just to be a good enough person for him. He was much younger than he had been the last time that Klaus saw him, his jawline a little less sharp and his face completely clean shaven, but it was him nonetheless.
“Dave,” he breathed out as he felt his heart dramatically spring back to life in his chest.
“That is, uh, that is what it says on my nametag,” Dave nodded as he fiddled with the cheap plastic pierced through his work apron. 
A sorrowful mourning filled his stomach as he remembered that this was before he had met the other man. Of course it was, it had to be. Dave had enlisted just after the Kennedy assassination and he had been serving for a while before Klaus dropped right into Vietnam. This was before they had ever met, before Dave had died, and before their son had been conceived. 
He had to push back the feelings that he had. He wanted desperately to convince Dave not to enlist so that he would go on living, even if that meant that they would never get to spend those glorious nine months together. He knew that he couldn’t do that though, not with how full of love his heart was for his son. Their son would never exist if they didn’t cross paths. And Dave was a figment of the past at this point, a memory that had already happened and that Klaus would meet in the future.
“Right, uh, sorry,” he shook his head to rid himself of those thoughts. “Would you mind if I hung one of these up in your window?”
Dave reached out and their fingers brushed together as he took the missing person’s flier from Klaus. “Yeah, of course,” he nodded. “I’ll hang this up as soon as I can, okay?”
“Thank you, it’s much appreciated,” Klaus promised. He tucked the rest of the posters underneath his arm and then scooped Noah up into his arms, tucking him against his hip. “Come on, buddy. We’re going back to Auntie Allison’s house so you can take a nap.”
“Oh, is this your son?” Dave asked, his face lighting up in excitement when he saw the toddler. Back when they were serving together, Dave had mentioned how much he loved children. Klaus knew that if they had been able to stay together then he would have adored their son.
“Yes, this is Noah,” Klaus chuckled. “Can you say hi?”
“No,” Noah tucked his face into his father’s shoulder instead of facing Dave, which made the aforementioned blond laugh.
“Sorry, he’s shy,” Klaus explained. 
“I understand. My little sister was just the same when she was that age,” he explained. “I’ll see you around town. Hope that you find your missing person.”
Klaus could tell that he was a bit uncomfortable and trying to end the conversation. Dave hadn’t been a very social person when they were together, much preferring to stay tucked away in their tent or hotel room. He took one last, longing look before he left to continue his quest of putting up the posters.

My adventures with Superman
Dc's newest anime animated show by adult swim although it felt like a cartoon network show
What I liked;
Kid Clark's powers setting in when he tried to help a person who was going to crash her car. You get a scene where he tries to get his kite out of a tree and nothing happens, his powers only kick in when he tries to use them for someone else.
Jimmy Olsen's characterisation as a truther. While Jimmy suffering from the redhead curse once again is tiresome, I do think the show put a fun spin on his dorkiness. (Not sure if I like that he's the same age as Clark and Lois though). His friendship with Clark also feels genuine.
Newsboy legion! For something that's a bit of a relic, I think they utilized it well. They sort of act like actual kids too, which was refreshing.
I'm glad this show has the Daily Planet as backdrop. I feel like the place has been a bit pushed to the side as of late. (Although Williamson's current run highlights it again so what do I know)
The action was pretty neat? Kept my attention throughout.
Voice acting was good, although Lois sounds like Korra and I don't know how to feel about that
Not sure how I feel about Tomboy!Lois. Lois always was a tomboy, but she was one who was stylish. A girl can do both, you know?
Tumblr media
What I didn't like;
The driver Kid!Clark saved had a cellphone in a holder and had it on speaker. I don't know why, but I hated it. Maybe i'm a boomer, but it feels like too much of a recent thing and it kind of dates the show. BTAS and STAS are rather timeless since it isn't clear what era it takes place in. It's too recent for my tastes
Clark's "I have to be normal. Just act normal" issue is too out there. Clark Kent is, usually, the most normal person in the cast. Superpowers aside. If he had it during high school, I'd give it a pass. But he should be past it by now. Although it seems that he doesn't know his origin yet, kind of like in 'Superman Smashes the Klan', and if that's the case I'll eat my words. I still think it's a bit of a blorbofication. I get that enough from the Batfamily webcomic.
What I also didn't like was that whenever Clark uses/activates his powers, electricity or something sparks out. You ain't the Flash, son.
I'm baffled that they changed Leslie Willis (soon to be Livewire) into a merc. You'd think a show focusing on the Daily Planet would benefit from a villain that uses the same sort of medium to spread misinformation or just have a radio rival in general, but instead we get a boring only sane woman merc. One that could've easily be someone like John Corben. And peronally? I think they didn't use Corben since STAS did this sort of 'robot plot' with John Corben. And if you had to use a woman, make it Mercy Graves before she meets Lex or something. Clark 'n co. bust Mercy, Lex is impressed by her work ethic and hires her.
In the same vain, giving black people lightning powers should really be considered racist at the rate DC is making it happen.
Anyway I did like the show and am interested to see more episodes, but to me, it didn't feel like an adult swim show.

Dimples, sunkissed, cuddles and watermelon for the ask 😊💚
Eyyy hi there - glad to see you here :D 💚
Dimples - most attractive feature on a peron's face? - I must admit I really love people's eyes, they are all so gorgeous whether they are deep brown, golden brown, ice blue, misty blue, green or anything else - I love me some good, expressive eyes 👀
And after that it is a tie between hair and smile I think x'D
Sunkissed - autumn or spring? - Oooph a hard one since I'm born in spring and love May for how everything is blooming and the world waking up but the nice cozy whether of autumn is really nice too, and the colours of the trees are so prettyyyyy ... so I guess it is a tie x'D
Cuddles - do you have any pets? - Sadly I don't :'3 I did have some hamsters and rabbits as a child tho :3
Watermelon - do films ever make you cry? Oh yes ... I am a big crybaby when it comes to everything emotional x'D Oddly enough I didn't cry to the latest movie that I was told would make me cry for sure (Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3) but I guess that was half because I knew something would happen :'D
Thank you for all the questions, I enjoyed answering them 🤗💚
