If I had a nickel for every time Smallville had a meteor infected teenager who k worded their own mom and is obsessed with Lana, I'd have two nickels which is weird considering I'm only on episode 4
Martha looks so pretty in that opening♥️
"I'm sure certain people's opinions of me will be cemented in stone." Yeah, Jonathan deserved that shade, Lex didn't do shit yet (or did he👀)
GEE CLARK STOP LOOKING ALREADY. I swear my girl Lana's privacy is getting invaded left & right on this show
I have to say, I love the fact that Clark immediately discusses these things with his parents, healthy family dynamics ftw
"What do you want me to say, you have the perfect life." "You want it? You can have it."
Don't say that Lanaaaaaa she's gonna do it fr😬
Jonathan: "Try to tell me what I have in my hand right now."
Clark: "It's your pocket knife."
Jonathan: "...You could see it through my hand."
Clark: "No, you always carry your knife in that pocket."
Jonathan: ...
Clark: :D
DAMN LEX👀 he absolutely owned that reporter
Chloe coming through for Lana, we love to see it🥹
"Mom, if you could see anything what would you do?"
"Learn to close my eyes."
MARTHA KENT, THE WOMAN THAT YOU ARE. No seriously, that's fantastic advice *cough that Clark really needs to follow cough*

Xander: Does anyone else wanna marry Ms. Barton?

I forgot to mention it before but (minor spoiler for 1x04 below the cut, its literally a reference that’s mentioned in the episode but doesn’t have anything to do with the plot):
Lois calling Clark “Smallville” just took a battering ram to my nostalgia back to that show and its Lois and Clark.
the humour in this episode is just Not Working for me, idk
==
why is lois mimicking cat's personality when the warden is much more likely to realise they're not the same person via, y'know, the photo on her badge??
==
now that was a quintessential clois moment
==
this poor man
==
clark's voice as superman is way too similar to his regular voice tbh, his tone when he was pretending to be interviewed by lois is way closer to what i'd expect
==
[paris hilton voice] that's hot
==
[paris hilton voice] that's hot
==
[agrees to give an interview]
[can't answer a single question]
[flies away]
nailed it
==
i love him
==
i mean, you're not wrong
==
Episode 4
that's my future pulitizer prize winner! 😭
==
OH HELL YEAH CLARK IS A CRYPTID!!!!!!
==
bums me out that i can't get into this series' version of clois, but they're just so mushy (and, don't get me wrong, i love mushy established clois, but they've just met!! lois should be a mean hbic and clark should be- well, he should be a whipped blushing mess, which is exactly what he is here. guess the problem is just lois :/ i could blame it on the decision to make them both interns, but smallville!lois is a teenager and still manages to be perfect)
==
and the thing is!! the rest of her characterisation is so good!! she's a career-driven law-breaking menace and i love her!!! literally the only thing that bothers me is how they've made her immediately into clark - which i guess makes sense, if she mostly ignored him then the entire premise of the cartoon doesn't really work*, but it still leaves me with a version of early!clois stripped from basically everything that makes their dynamic interesting (To Me)
*= there's plenty of ways to make them work together while having lois' feelings towards clark be equal part disinterest and fuming one-sided beef (i'd know! i've read the fics!), but i guess it wouldn't fit the quirky fun protagonist trio this series is aiming for, which is ok! it's a cartoon for kids! i'm the weird one here!
==
man i miss the world cup
==
oh my god he's so precious
==
.............................that's a voltron character
==
why does this dr ivo guy feel like a mcu!tony stark parody (disclaimer: i don't think i've heard of him before and i don't wanna google if he's a comics character to avoid possible spoilers)
==
OH MY GOD HIS NAME IS EVEN ANTHONY
==
[paris hilton voice] that's hot
==
dont know why the screen suddenly looks like i need to clean my glasses but [insert 'í love arm' tweet]
==
WHY IS THE SCREEN SO BLURRY (is this bc i'm pirating??)
==
oh my god
==
ok, if he's not a comic character then he was definitely based on tony (stark, i mean. as this guy is also named tony.)
==
ok, did anyone involved in this series also work on voltron, serious question
==
i'm in love with her
==
1. i think i'm gonna enjoy them a lot more once they're actually dating bc this was very domestic!clois and, to quote clark, :3
2. holy fuck his head is so much larger than hers
==
he's so lucky no one follows him on that thing bc he's literally uploading footage he was paid to take by someone else, once perry finds out he's toast
==
???? he was playing cupid two episodes ago
==
OH SHIT I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT SEE THAT COMING 10/10 PLOT TWIST
==
i usually enjoy the identity porn going on for way longer, but i wasn't happy with how they were handling it, so maybe this will shake up things into something that i like more 👀
Okay I saw your other ask and do you know any shows/movies where characters get power drained or weakened?❤️
Sure! Here’s some examples:
Teen Wolf 1x04, Derek is shot with a special bullet and grows weaker until he digs it out himself.
The Shannara Chronicles 2x03, Will is drained of blood while captured. (gore tw)
Charmed (reboot), Harry is stripped of his powers in 1x17 and wears a control collar in 1x19.
Roswell New Mexico 1x01, Max drains his own powers when healing Liz and it makes him sick. That happens again in 1x08. (vomit tw).
The Tomorrow People 1x07, Stephen loses his powers and almost drowns.
Smallville has a lot of examples of power drain. But in 1x12, Clark’s powers are drained from a lightning blast and transferred into Shawn Ashmore’s character. Who later beats up Clark and throws him onto a car. In 3x03 Clark is shot with a Kryptonite bullet. And in 7x14, Clark is kept in a kryptonite lined cage and grows weaker. (That krypto cage was such a gift to whump fans. I like to “write” stories in my head at night and have used that plot many times.) lol
Stargate Atlantis 3x07, John is slowly drained of his life force and almost dies.
The Flash 1x07, Barry’s powers are drained and he loses his speed.
Also in X-Men 1, Rogue drains Wolverine powers, twice.
Unoriginal I know but when it comes to whump I really love whumpees with high fevers receiving lots of attention and care from a caretaker. But I can't seem to find any media outside of fanfics that really focuses in on that sort of whump, at least not for very long. Got any episode suggestions?
I LOVE THIS TROPE SO MUCH!!!!! It's the best and I really wish we had it more because it's so good and never fails to give me whumperflies.
Okay some scenes with this I love. Now tv shows don't often focus on this trope for a long time but you can check these out
Natsume Yuujinchou. I don't know how you feel about anime but animes always tend to have some really great fever/cartaking episodes and Natsume gets fevers ALL THE TIME and they're always amazing. Take a look at these episodes in particular: 2x05, 2x09, 3x12, 5x11, 6x05
Fruits Basket 1x09 (the newer anime) and Special A 1x12 are two of my favorite anime whump fever/sick episodes.
BBC Merlin. Got two episodes for you. Merlin in 1x04 and Arthur in 1x13
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Graceland 3x08. I think I find a way to rec this all the time lol. But it's got a lot of great caretaking for the character currently having a bad time and has a really high fever so they need to cool him down with an ice bath!
Outlander does this well too. 5x09 has Jamie getting bitten by a poisonous snake and he spikes a high fever and everyone worries and takes care of him. It's beautiful.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer 3x22 is a good one. Angel is shot with a poison tipped arrow and gets a high fever. The scooby gang take care of him while looking for a cure.
Emergency! 2x04 Johnny Gage catching a bad, unknown virus and falling very sick? High fever? EMS partner Roy looking after him? So good!
Hawaii Five-0 8x09 there's a good scene where the whole team is sick from a virus and Danny isn't doing well, has a high fever, and Steve is taking care of him.
Doctor Who "The Christmas Invasion" has David Tennant recovering from his recent regeneration and he gets a fever.
Smallville 2x16 When Martha and later Clark are exposed to Kryptonite-irradiated spores and become gravely ill, it falls to Jonathan to find a way to save his family.
Sleepy Hollow 1x05 Ichabod gets a high fever after becoming infected with a virus that killed the inhabitants of Roanoke.
There's an episode of M*A*S*H where everyone catches the flu and Hawkeye is the only one really left standing and then he catches it too and has to work through the fever while taking care of everyone else. Hawk is both the whumpee and the caretaker at one point. It's good. It's 2x11 "Carry On, Hawkeye"
I also highly suggest taking a look at of-wounds-and-woes blog because they post some amazing fever whump scenes from various Turkish, Brazillian, Russian, Portuguese, etc tv shows and they're always amazing. I mean the appendicitis episode of Ouro Verde is the best.
FOLLOWERS, PLEASE ADD YOUR FAVORITES! I LOVE FEVER EPISODES!!
