All of you were talking about how unrealistic it was for Lois to expect him to come out with all the secrets and tell her who he was but no one here is talking about how it's unrealistic for Clark to think this cover would be viable for long-term regarding the people close to him. My point is they are both young especially in this iteration. Neither have mastered what they're doing. Lois have a devil may care attitude and her recklessness can end up hurting her or others. Clark is naive if he thinks his current routine was going to fool anyone for long and if he doesn't take better care and keeping his secrets and being more aware of the people close to him he will also end up hurting himself and others. They haven't developed that strong of a trust yet which is also why Jimmy can't give the benefit of the doubt and goes off on his own. Simply put they just aren't there yet. It's like a parallel of the first episode. And also the whole roof drop thing is a signature Superman trope even Bats exploits it to break Clark out of brainwashing I don't know why y'all are so shocked people who have been around these comics for a while knew that this was like an inevitability.
They have flaws. They act silly and make mistakes but I feel like people are being disproportionately hard on Lois for hers.
This is not even mentioning her dislike of liars and secrets probably stemming from who I assume is general Lane. It's not Lois without issues with her father

==
Tumblr media

==
Tumblr media

==
Tumblr media Tumblr media
==
they're lampshading his secret identity and i kinda hate it bc i'm firmly on team It Fucking Works
==
ok but why didn't he just...?
Tumblr media
==
ok, he did it now (why didn't he do it before...? also why did she think it'd work in the first place)
==
Tumblr media
girl be serious, go to an oculist
==
.......are the kidnapped weapons users going to become, y'know... some kind of suicide squad?
==
Tumblr media
wait those two were really up there??? i thought it was a visual shorthand to show they were talking on comms on my god how did they get there????? and why????????
==
oh ok it was holograms
==
clark: "why does your father call amanda waller 'mandy'?"
lois: "how about we stop talking for a little while"
==
WHY ARE THEY MAKING HIM STUPID
==
Tumblr media
aw this reminds me of the bigfoot arc in the jl8 comic
==
so i was expecting some kind of confirmation still on this episode, but the orange/black colour palette and the fact that his surname is wilson................ like, he has both eyes and i don't think he was ever a superman villain (except for that time he got him confused with bruce wayne while he was drunk on yacht?), but hm.
is the tumblr-sexyman-looking bitch fucking deathstroke???????
and if so why is he an anime twink???????????

This story contains spoilers for episode 1x05 of Loki! It is a retelling of a major scene with my own whumpy additions, cause this show needs more whump (asides from the plethora of emotional whump we've been getting 💜)
I don't really want to tag it as such cause I don't really want it in the main tag?? But with the weird ass tag system on this site it's probably going to wind up there anyways 🙄🙄
Anyways, this is for you @flyingwolf29, thanks for yelling at me 💜💜
Loki looked down as he felt warm fingers slide into his hand, squeezing tightly. He glanced between their interlocked hands and Sylvie’s face, her mouth pressed into a determined line as the wind whipped through her hair.
“What are you doing?” He yelled over the roar of the storm that was Alioth.
“We’re going to enchant it.”
“I don’t know how!” He shook his head, trying to take a step back but stopped by Sylvie’s grip on his hand.
“You do. Because we’re the same!”
Loki swallowed hard, watching the chaos raging over the facade of Asgard before him. Alioth’s jaws snapped closed on empty air as the illusion of a tower rippled away, the creature roaring in frustration. Loki clenched his jaw and took a deep breath before turning to Sylvie. She was watching him, her gentle eyebrows raised as she waited for a response.
Finally, he gave a sharp nod of his head and Sylvie led him forward, closer to the horrible creature before them.
When the tendrils of cloud started to swirl around them, Sylvie stopped and reached out with an upraised palm, green light coalescing in her hand as she lifted her hand as though pulling energy from the planet itself. Loki copied her movements, calling on his powers. He had barely a hint of where to even start with this, for gods sake what was he even doing here? He thought to himself.
Sylvie’s hand shifted in his, her fingers interlocking with his own and squeezing tightly and he felt some of her power surge into himself, pushing its way in and forcing, almost bullying, his power in the direction it needed to go. Sputtering green light finally burst from his hand, refracting in the smoky air and he gasped.
He could feel everything. Not just Sylvie’s hand in his, but her mind brushing against his, gentle but determined. And Alioth, the massive creatures mind tore past, viscous and hungry, so hungry. Loki felt lost, forced out of his own head, like he wasn’t in his body any more. He could only vaguely feel himself starting to fall, the only things keeping him upright being Sylvie’s hand in his and the power that coursed through his own body, locking him in place.
He felt the moment the elder Loki was consumed by Alioth, his once shiny horned helmet falling tarnished and pitted to the ground, and the creature turned its hungry gaze on the two lone figures, the ones he could feel on the peripherals of his mind.
The smokey maw dropped open, dragging its chin along the ground as it raced towards them.
Sylvie narrowed her eyes at it before clenching them tight, gathering her power and focusing it, guiding Loki to do the same. She squeezed his hand once more, regretful that she wouldn’t be able to give him any more of a warning before pushing and the power tore through both of them.
Loki cried out as green light exploded outwards, light ricocheting like lightning through the storm cloud body of Alioth. His skin burned and he could feel the hair on his arms and back of his neck stand on end as the air crackled with power. Alioth’s mind brushed against his own again, menacing and wrathful and the creature roared in anger just as Loki felt its mind shatter under his and Sylvie’s onslaught. Its final furious roar rumbled across the plane like the final distant roll of thunder and then silence fell around them.
Sylvie opened her eyes to find the world washed in a green glow, the black smoky tendrils around them slowly receding, a crack opening before them as a portal appeared. A dark fortress loomed before them, an aurora of pink and orange lights dancing across the sky above it. She looked up at Loki, his eyes still closed and face slack, almost serene.
“Open your eyes,” she called to him, squeezing his hand once again.
He swayed towards her slightly as he opened his eyes, slowly, blearily blinking in the light. He traced the edge of the portal with unfocused eyes, looking up and up until his head tilted back and his eyes rolled back and suddenly he was falling.
“Loki!” Sylvie gasped, hurriedly grabbing for him, just barely managing to catch his shoulders before his head slammed into the dirt. “Hey hey hey, wake up! Loki?”
She tapped her fingers against his cheek, which garnered a faint groan and a slight flutter of his eyelashes. “Come on, Loki, wake up!” She shook his shoulders hard, his head lolling against her arm.
He groaned louder before suddenly gasping awake, his eyes snapping open and arms flying up as though to protect his face from something.
“Wha- what happened?” He gasped, breathing heavily. He slowly lowered his arms as he realized who knelt next to him.
“You fainted,” Sylvie said with sympathy, pulling him up so he was seated. He swayed slightly and she put her hand back around his shoulders to keep him in place. “I’m sorry, I didn’t exactly have time to warn you. The first time can be pretty exhausting, especially against a creature as big as that. How do you feel?”
Loki pressed his hands over his eyes, trying to suppress the mother of all headaches that raged behind them. “Exhausted. Did we do it? Did we kill him?”
Sylvie raised her eyebrows, surprised he didn’t remember the last few moments before he collapsed. “Yeah, yeah he’s gone.” She shifted so she sat beside him on the ground and gestured to the portal that stood before them. “And the door is open.”
Loki looked up, breath catching in his throat as he took in the spectacle before him.
“That’s- uh- that’s it?”
Sylvie hummed in the affirmative. “It is. Are you ready to get going?”
Loki took a deep breath as he mentally checked himself over. His hands were shaking, his head ached as though Thor himself had punched the living daylights out of him and every muscle in his body felt tighter than a violin string. “I think I need a moment. To be quite honest, I might pass out if I try to stand up.”
“Let’s not do that again,” Sylvie laughed, bumping her shoulder against his. “Rest for a moment.”
“How about you tell me how one is actually supposed to enchant a ginormous monster? You know, so I don’t get caught off guard next time?”

Huh. Honestly was expecting Jimmy to run into Swamp Thing, not Grodd since I always felt that Swamp Thing was mixed in with the metropolis mythos and Grodd was more intertwined with the Flash. Also he is very cryptid of the woods kind of feeling. Love all the subtle Easter eggs though. Like how the road Superman saved was leading to Blüdhaven.
