#oh smallville

For the first time, I understand why people would post an wip. I've always been like, I could never because I change too much (still true) and I want to be able to poke things until the very last second (also still true).

But y'all? I'm virtually bouncing in my seat, I'm having so much fun with this one.

@liminalmemories21 and I are, in fact, writing so fast that I keep fucking with her spot in the document and I can sense her frustration, with every prolonged blink of her cursor.

like it's just my chloe feelings depend on the day for me? because i resented her for the longest time because lol i was in fandom and they were just insanely gross about lana lang/kristin kreuk and then erica durance (i mean, all sides were awful but my kristin bias was big back then) so it just stuck. i could appreciate the kind of character she was though and i would've liked her a lot more had the writers gone the direction i think they should've?? idk

i get that bc ngl i used to see A LOT of hate being thrown at KK and ED and i wasn't even in the fandom and i wondered if the characters were being written THAT BADLY, bc i used to watch the show off and on. like i didn't watch most of s2/s3 but then i heard lois was coming in so tuned into s4? but LOL SMALLVILLE! and tuned out and then back in for kara and back out and like the writing for all the characters i felt was equally weak sometimes/then strong/then weak so i never had a cohesive relationship with the show?  but i never thought lois and lana were so horrible they deserved what ppl were saying and then like s8 was magical... everything post Build Up Lex To The Nth was just a better show? but like chloe. when i first tuned in i thought the character had great potential. as a friend, maybe love interest, maybe villain, maybe not but the show just kinda a lot of the time i felt (personal choices, ymmv, etc!) they wanted to make her into Every Girl which walked the Nice Girl TM line a few time, while making lana The Love Interest and then with lois they knew they had LOIS LANE but weren't sure about her right off? idk smallville in general was a patchy show.

and i'm just putting all these together bc EASIER THAT WAY. 

 thewaxlion ha contestado a tu publicación: #i have feelings about how tess and chloe’s roles should have shifted bc they kinda mirror each other except the show didn’t go there no and forever bitter about it tbh because jfc, she was perfectly constructed from the beginning and they never ended up doing anything about it and i do feel she could’ve been the show’s best villain land of wasted potential

ugh yes. like for the most part, i felt like everyone saw chloe wrong? that girl is SPITEFUL and it really was (from what i’ve seen) a situation where fandom just used her as their self-insert so to speak?

basically chloe sullivan is the willow rosenberg of smallville with the dropped arc and all imo

like for me i could never see clark/chloe romantically bc he never really felt that way about her? but i thought the decay of their once strong friendship was well done?

i agree with you??? yes chloe could be spite and jealous and petty but i didn't dislike that about her. she was also clever and resourceful alongside and it was real and like i'm for different kind of ladies and not just cutout mold but the way fandom put on her pedestal was very gross. bc she was a character very much during the time where the mentally of Strong Female Character was prevalent (and in some ways still is now, not for chloe of course, but ANOTHER POST) and if you weren't """""badass""""" in some ways you weren't worth the time, which i call bullshit on. 

as for C/C... i was very whatever about them. i didn't ship it but i didn't not ship. and there were moments where her feelings were very bordering Nice Girl, as I said but like a) to say that about a female character is near sacrilege even when it applies b) clark was myopic about lana for a long time and like the show wasn't great about being fair to either of them really. but i really liked their friendship and thought it was strong one and the slow decay and understanding that it was becoming a crutch for BOTH of them was a nice move. the fact that the show did it like that bc chloe isn't a character in general DC verse was kinda lazy tho. like they could have done that better i believe. 

and LASTLY. LOL THIS POST. ngl the day i realised that other ppl besides me did see the villainous side of willow was a great day bc like willow did some straight up shady shit and it seemed at the time nobody was talking about it.

i mean i understand how the show didn't want to turn a fan fave (like she was called the veronica mars of smallville which i felt it a disservice bc it made it seemed she wasn't a character onto herself in the beginning but a veronica mar-lois lane blend that i felt was lazy. i mean she did become her own character but in the beginning everyone felt like a mold and hell the writers then barely even liked clark kent, so. /tangent) into a villain but the groundwork was there?? like i felt it, though everyone watches the show differently but like i felt it was there. 

and how good would have it been. clark kent's right hand, so to speak, turning away from him as lex luthor's right hand turning away from lex himself (even post mortem lex which lol the ~death and rebirth~ of lex luthor on the show was SO MESSY OMG). and GOSH THEY EVEN MADE TESS WATCHTOWER WHICH WAS CHLOE'S JOB before she left and it was all there but nothing ever came of it really. and for a while there they explored it wrt chloe: with graham???-darkside and brainiac and even a little in the beginning in more subtle ways, but like they always pushed the line with chloe and then backed off and pushed it and backed off to the point it got exhausting like it did with lana, bc they did the same with her and clark: pushed and backed off, pushe and backed off and omg what ever the fuck was the witch isabel thing i still don't know.

tess however, and her story i felt, was better structured in terms of how she grew as she became integrated in clark's life.
