He's sooooo messy soooo messy and also sooo right like Martha aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you want to cheat on your husband?

Seeing a post about Mionel and how Martha had come from high society and gave it up for love and a simple life, it made me realize that out of everyone on the show, she was the only one that understood Lex Luthor.

She knew that yearning for the simpler life, for the love of someone, and the pressures of a father’s expectations. She understood 1000% and that is why she was kind to him and supported him whenever she could.

And that is why Lex never really did anything to her and cared more for her than he did his father.

These two should have interacted more on the show.

Characters and Ships

As it was mentioned in our FAQ posts, shipping is allowed in the zine, so it is time to expand on the subject.

For our zine we stick to the rule: “If a character wasn’t shown clearly dying on the screen, or there is no prove of them being actually dead, they may be considered to still be alive.”

So such characters as Morgan Edge (mentioned to be missing in a Daily Planet’s article in Season 8, though twice said to be dead and never actually shown to be turned into the person trying to kill Lex and Clark in Episode 8 Season 3 (Shattered) via plastic surgery, after being presumed dead in Episode 2 Season 3 (Phoenix).) or Tess Mercer (Lutessa Luthor) (who was never shown after supposedly dying in Lex’s arms after being stabbed and drawing her last breath, considering Lex still could have called ER, especially after his memories were whipped) can be safely optimistically called still alive.

(Remember Greg Arkin (The Bug Boy) who seems to have died in Episode 2 Season 1 (Metamorphosis) and appeared alive and well in Episode 4 Season 10 (Homecoming)? That’s the same situation here.)

And we can also allow the possibility of Lionel Luthor being still among the living, because as Jor-El’s emissary and vessel he isn’t lacking importance and could have been resurrected by the kryptonian AI or put into altered state of existence, a stage of suspended animation right after the fall and then healed enough to recover, because his dead body wasn’t shown in the casket and there was no proof provided of it being not the case.

Everything depends on your vision.

So here is the list (not by any means final or complete), of the characters who may appear in the zine as living acting participants of various plots:

Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman; Lex Luthor; Martha Kent/The Red Queen; Lionel Luthor; Lois Lane; Lana Lang; Chloe Sullivan/Watchtower; Oliver Queen/Green Arrow; Morgan Edge; Bart Allen/Impulse; Arthur Curry/AC/Aquaman; J’onn J’onzz/John Jones/Martian Manhunter; Tess Mercer/Mercy/Lutessa Luthor; Jor-El (AI, or in Lionel’s body); Kara Kent/Kara Zor-El/Linda Danvers/Supergirl; Zatanna Zatara; Pete Ross; Lucas Luthor; etc.

In Flashbacks and mentions only:

Jonathan Kent (May appear as an AI version of himself in the Fortress of Solitude.); Whitney Fordman; Jimmy Olsen; Dr. Virgil Swann; Dr. Brigette Crosby; Ryan James; etc.

Characters, who appeared in Smallville Season 11 comic books are also allowed to be a part of the zine (Bruce Wayne/Batman, Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, etc.).

Earth-2/Mirrorverse counterparts of characters’s life depictions in 15 years in our time are also welcome (Clark Luthor, Lois Queen, Jonathan Kent (-2), Martha Clark (Kent before divorce), etc.).

Once again we establish that all relationships between the characters should be depicted in the works in the zine as being more on platonic side.

No ships between family members are allowed.

(Note: If you write a piece sticking to Mionel, Clex is not allowed in it and vice versa, etc.)

Here is the list of the ships:

Het:

Clois – the ship between Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

Clana – the ship between Clark Kent and Lana Lang.

Chlark – the ship between Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan.

Jonathan x Martha – the ship between Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent. (in flashbacks only, or in case of Earth-2/Mirrorverse scenarios)

Mionel – the ship between Martha Kent and Lionel Luthor.

Lexana – the ship between Lex Luthor and Lana Lang.

Lollie – the ship between Lois Lane and Oliver Queen.

Chlollie – the ship between Chloe Sullivan and Oliver Queen.

Zeeiver – the ship between Zatanna Zatara and Oliver Queen.

Tollie – the ship between Tess Mercer and Oliver Queen.

Chlex – the ship between Chloe Sullivan and Lex Luthor.

Kex – the ship between Lex Luthor and Kara Zor-El.

Aquamera – the ship between Arthur Curry and Mera.

Slash:

Clex – the ship between Clark Kent and Lex Luthor.

Clollie – the ship between Clark Kent and Oliver Queen.

Ledge – the ship between Lionel Luthor and Morgan Edge.

Femslash:

Tess x Lois – the ship between Tess Mercer and Lois Lane.

Chess – the ship between Chloe Sullivan and Tess Mercer.

Chlana – the ship between Chloe Sullivan and Lana Lang.

If the ship of your choice isn’t included in the list, feel free to mention it.

Chloe: So...of the record. What if someone tries to hurt Martha Kent.

Lionel: Kill em

Martha: LIONEL

Lionel; *sips tea causally.

Lex: I don't like murder.

Martha: Oh thank-

Clark: Wait for it.

Lex: But I agree with my father.

Martha:

Lionel: Good boy. Martha give him a cookie.

Martha: Must you both be such luthors about it.

Lionel; I won't apologize on removing a dangerous threat off the face of the planet.

Lionel: You hear me Oliver.

Oliver: yes! *rolls eyes*

Lionel: I'll gladly use my many swords to stab someone and watch them bleed on the floor

Lionel: You hear me Queen.

Oliver: Alright I get it!

AS HE SHOULD. Both of them.

(lowkey I think that's the appeal to me for both these men, because they would do absolutely anything for their people.)

So, a little less than two weeks ago, my Mom and I were talking about everything and anything and suddenly some subject came up which for some reason reminded me about an episode of «My Little Pony» in which Discord told Fluttershy that it was his turn to invite her to a teaparty at his place, since she always does so for him with her usual kindness and readiness to accept him for who he is accommodating things to what he might like most or for some reason require (Season 7, Episode 12 «Discordant Harmony»), which I told her about.

And you know what? She said it sounded an awful lot like Lionel and Martha from Smallville because of it being so easy to imagine them in such situation! A couldn't agree more!

There are differences, that much is certain, but still!

I didn't say it, she did so herself!

I am still really proud of the fact because it means that I am not the only one who thinks so and connected the dots this way.

It’s funny bc for the past month all of my obsessions were about a good and kind hearted redhead and a morally wrong and devious brunette that only respects one person…and that person is the redhead ✨ like “yes I’m evil and wrong and my hair is naturally dark but somehow this redhead woman makes me want to be a better a person” which is kinda funny but it’s weird that it happened three times and at the same month.

L: "Martha, I--"
