Devoted, a rambly thought.

[roxy]

For those of you who haven't see it , or could care less, I'll put this behind the cut.

OK, here's the thing, everyone is all "Clark, ya selfish using bastard, the minute you're friends with Lex again ya ask him for a favor you bitch" und so on...

So, maybe this says more about me as a person, possibly negative, but what's wrong with that? did I completely misread Lex's expression, which to me was fond exasperation?

I think not. I know that look intimately, my friends. It's a look I've grown to love.

I think that Clark *knows* Lex likes doing things for him. It seems to me, hardly an ep went by without Lex volunteering to do something, or agreeing to do something for him, because Lex would "do anything for a friend*.

Hello. Friend.

I thought Clark asked him in "the spirit of friendship"to show that they were truly once again friends.

It's a game they play with each other, a much less dangerous one then their other game, the "catch me in a lie, please, game."
The "which one of these ridiculous lies are going to rip us apart for all time" game.

Anyhoo- this is my poor attempt to say, Clark did no wrong there, in fact, he couldn't have provided Lex with better proof of his desire to be friends again, In My Humble Opinion.

I'm with you on that. Lex gets twitchy if he can't do stuff for Clark.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

See? you see it. He *needs* to do stuff for Clark, and Clark needs to have stuff done for him. They're perfect for each other!
Which is why Clark/Lana can never be.
They'd both be staring at the bedroom ceiling and waiting for something to happen.

Where as Lex would be all about the preemptive blow job.

one must strike while the iron is hot.

[justabi.livejournal.com]

A good offense is the best defense.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Yes. We all enjoy a bit of offensive-- play?

[justabi.livejournal.com]

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

*groans, to save you the trouble*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*smack* you forgot to do that.

[justabi.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I hate it when I forget things.

*giggle*

I love that phrase: "preemptive blow job"

I wonder if there's a way I can work that into a random conversation.

The "which one of these ridiculous lies are going to rip us apart for all time" game.

Well, not for *all* time. They're immortal, after all.

And not just in the "our grandchildren's grandchildren will know who Superman and Lex Luthor are" sense, either.

In the "not-Jude hung Lex upside down in a straitjacket for *hours* and he didn't have an aneurysm/Lex doesn't have a gravestone in Hourglass" sense.

After the rift, they'll become friends again. Someday.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

You think so, really?
And truth? no gravestone? I didn't know that.

Well, yes then, after they get rid of all the crap between them,they can be friends again. And by that time,same sex marrige will be old hat, and they can have a tasteful ceremony among the stars, in the Little Chapel On the LuthorCorp Space Station.

And truth? no gravestone? I didn't know that.

Well, if he does have a gravestone, several hundred of us on the mailing list missed it, because it was a *huge* topic of conversation/speculation and is one of the key points in the "immortal Lex" manifesto.

Sure beats running off to Las Vegas for romance!

I like it. I like it very much. And seriously, it makes me think...*jots down more notes in over-burdened idea book*.

I just love cursing at my TV and I thought it was pretty damn rude of him to start off like that. Some kind of hand job would have made a preferable beginning.

And Clark's pants are still on fiyaaah!

Buh. No, seriously, I probably get off on it. It's a huge part of the Clex dynamic. Still, I love being indignant. Especially when I know that in real life, I'd easily accept it the way Lex does on the show.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

His pants, his pants, his pants are on fiyaaah! We don't need no wat... ooh, where am I? I- I seem to have blacked out for a moment.
Sorry.

Sure, I see that, it's just sometimes, I'm such a Clark, you know? *G*

*kisses*

I've just run off and watched all the episodes after downloading them from tinyvision TM.

*does the happy dance*

I did think it was kinda rude of Clark, but it is the way their friendship is defined, so I'll forgive him. It was good for Lex - Clark letting him help would confirm his place in Clark's life.
