Obsessed With The Fact That Lois's "bad" Qualities Are What Saved Clark

obsessed with the fact that lois's "bad" qualities are what saved clark

like one of her biggest insecurities is being perceived as stubborn and annoying, we've been there, done that, but because clark loves those things about her, and sees her as passionate and driven rather than stubborn and annoying, she was able to use that to her advantage to defy brainiac and get through to clark.

I just love that so much bc so rarely are female characters allowed to be flawed in the ways lois is. we've seen it since the first episode, and in many other iterations of the character. literally our first impressions of lois in this series were her tricking jimmy and clark into chasing the story she wanted to write, and stealing a key card from a prison warden to break into a locked door. she's insane, she will do anything to reach her goals, she'll jump off the roof of the daily planet to prove that clark is superman, and the thing is CLARK IS SO CRAZY ABOUT THAT. he's basically indestructible, insanely fast and strong, and YET she is the bravest person he knows and he ADMIRES that so much about her. superman is a hero but lois lane is SUPERMAN'S hero.

there's just something so wonderful about seeing two young, insecure people looking at each other and saying, "not only do I accept you the way you are, I LOVE everything about you, even the things you don't love about yourself. I love that you're different, I love that you don't follow rules, I love that you stand up for what's right, because that's what makes you who you are and I wouldn't want you do be any other way."

Wdym the seal scene isn’t how the series ends with everyone happy and alive? wdym they die lmao?

thinking about that scene in the dragon republic when rin enters daji’s seal and it shows her what she wants the most, memories she can barely remember and people she’ll never have again, even if she didn’t know it at the time. she saw Masters Irjah and Jima, the two masters whose praise she’d craved her first year at Sinegard, whose classes she’d excelled at the most, Linguistics and Strategy. She saw Kesegi, who she would later sacrifice to rot in a cell, and Tutor Feyrik, whose fate would forever be left unknown, lost to her. Kitay, Altan, Ramsa, all of whom sacrificed their lives for her. And the heavy, heavy implication that they were all gathered for her wedding to Nezha. Because Nezha was the last person Rin loved who hadn’t yet appeared in her vision and his absence was too conspicuous. Because Altan had told her in that vision that he’d “never been too fond of [her fiancé] either,” and Nezha had been the only friend of Rin’s who Altan had never liked, had been paranoid and suspicious of, had told Rin to stop talking to, and had prevented her from dragging out of the fog. Daji’s seal had shown Rin what her subconscious had known and what she had refused to acknowledge (that she loved nezha even then), and what might have been possible in another life if history, the gods, and the whims of humans had not been so cruel.
