oh dear..ramble du jour

SpN really likes the non-con/hooker fic, hunh? And why do so many people make Jensen (the RPS character) into a damaged little monkey? Does he ping you like that? It's so weird, I don't get that at all. I see him being sort of sensitive under all that dickiness, but not delicate. Or romantic. Though I guess I do the same thing with Lex don't I, and lots of folks probably see that as OOC. To me though, Lex *is* delicate. He's like this huge balancing act, a giant teetering stack of behaviors and justifications and lies that let him survive. I absolutely believe that he believes he's doing the right thing, that he's the hero, and other people see him as the villain because they have no vision. Poor little thing...now there's a woobie for you.

I love you Lex Luthor--I want to bear your children!

*whispers* also, I think I'm back for good now...

I've never seen SpN, so I can't comment on Jensen, but I agree with you about Lex. Certainly how he is from the Smallville canon. He has become a very strong character because of all he has dealt with in his past; but I have always felt like he is very breakable - we are just waiting for the proverbial straw. As you said - a balancing act.

Right--very strong, but a brittle kind of strong. In a way, it's his friendship with Clark that ruins it for him, I think. Clark just accidentally chipped away at the glue holding Lex together. Well, all right, Lionel was there too, taking an axe to the rest of what held Lex together. Poor Lex. He never had a chance. :(
