I'm super, thanks for asking

[mimesere]

Today is a Superman day, I think. Mostly what this means is jeans + super logo shirt + black hoodie + glasses. Now I just need to find my blue super logo shirt (black or pink w/rhinestones? totally know where they are. Traditional blue? No idea.)

Did I ever talk here about the Superman Returns story I really want to write? Where everyone thinks that Clark is gay and so they keep setting him up with people and Richard sets him up with one of the sports writers and they go out and the guy that Clark is out with is like, "So." and Clark is like, "I'm not gay," in this kind of apologetic, I-kinda-wish-I-were-'cause-you-seem-really-nice way, and the guy is like, "Uh huh, look, do you want to talk about stuff? I'm a good listener and you seem like you've got something on your mind." and clearly the guy is thinking, "Whoa, closet" and Clark is thinking, "I can hear sirens two miles away what if someone needs me?" and Clark just kind of fidgets and messes with his napkin and looks kind of sad and then he asks, all in a rush, "Why is everyone convinced I'm gay?" and the guy sort of blinks and is like, "Prolly 'cause you're shy and awkward and are in love with Lois--" Clark looks mortified here "and you don't date anyone and no one really knows you at all and oh, right, you act like you've got this really big secret." And Clark is like, "...oh." And the guy thinks for another minute then says, "Plus you keep getting assigned to that Wayne guy when he ends up in town and everyone's kind of--" he does that hand gesture that implies kind-of-iffy "you know about him."

Clark coughs on the sip of water he just took. "People think I'm--" he does the same gesture "--with BRUCE WAYNE?"

So yeah, that's the story I wanted to tell. The story where the Daily Planet thinks that Clark Kent is gay.

Last week I had a Wonder Woman day. My professor looked at me and smiled.

Hee! Yay heroes!

That story would be ADORABLE.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't it, though? Clark would be all awkward! And Richard would be all well-meaning and set him up with a variety of his gay friends -- 'cause you know Richard has The Gay Friends, like, a whole posse of them -- and Lois is very skeptical of the whole thing because hello, it's *Clark* and Clark is...like, asexual. Lois did an article on that once, did Richard ever read it? And Richard is just kind of like, "I think he's nice," and Lois is all, "Nice?" and Richard says, "Yes! Nice! There's nothing wrong with nice," and Lois is all, "Nice doesn't get you a Pulitzer. Or a good story." and Richard is like, "And yet, Perry thinks Clark is good at his job." And Lois kind of goes hmmph, but she doesn't say anything else when Richard introduces Clark to his suave A&E editor friend and they totally hit it off. But she's a little jealous, 'cause man, Clark is hers! And she doesn't...really want Clark to be hers, she wants him to be happy because he is a nice guy and whatever, but it was nice having someone who had such a total crush.

Meanwhile, Perry wonders how he has hired idiots for his newspaper and he goes around saying, "You call yourselves investigative reporters?" a lot. Sometimes Clark hides in his office and they talk about sports. Perry totally knows Clark's deal, but he'd never say anything. Because he's Perry. And Jimmy is kind of flaily and earnest about the whole thing. He goes to PFLAG and reads up on gay because Clark's his *friend*, he's gonna be there for him.

"Write it! Write it!!"

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Heee! So many stories live in my head! I just need to sit down and write them.

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

Are you just posting this so you don't have to write it or answer your PHONE, Sheila, what is UP WITH THAT?

Because I want to see that story.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

I want that story so much, Amy! I want to read it and clutch it and squeeze it and call it George.

*clings to you and calls you George Amy*

i am interested in such tales and think that should be written. Because, even Jimmy has tried to set Clark up, in such a way that Clark couldn't tell if he was juggling coffee mugs for Perry again or if he was suffering a medical condition.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Jimmy would be the BEST. He'd try so hard. Because he's Jimmy and he loves Clark just that much and thinks Clark is made of sheer awesomeness. And then Jimmy would kind of sit around and go, "Does this mean I'm gay?" and he would do a lot of soul searching and staring at Clark with his heart on his sleeve and Lois would be all, "Oh, Jimmy," and Perry would just continue to wonder why he was surrounded by crazypeople.

Apparently I need a Jimmy icon and a Perry icon. Because seriously, I love them a lot.

[transtempts.livejournal.com]

yes, jimmy does love clark. even in sv, once jimmy feels that he and clark can be friends, he tries to set him up with lois, there we go, there *is* a precedent. ::g::

and perry totally is hiding in his office because his staff is trying to fix clark up with people while they should be working on stories, and then he gets up and has to get them back on track..until the next time..

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

It all happens in the spring and Perry grumbles about it to Richard and Richard just sort of laughs and is like, "Love is in the air." And Perry goes, "The Daily Planet doesn't believe in love!" and then he pauses and goes, "I wonder if there's something to that. I'll get Clark to do a piece on love being in the air. He's the only one of you doing any work."

[transtempts.livejournal.com]

Meanwhile, Clark is trying to avoid much of this, every time he ventures out from behind his desk, someone makes a helpful suggestion, and even when he does appear to be working, the staff have taken to 'visiting.' Perry thinks that Clark looks a little wide-eyed behind his glasses, but it's hard to tell with him ducking his head industriously to stare at his computer and the work he's doing.

Hee. That, in their minds, would explain A LOT. Oh, Clark.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Clark is the best. And it really, really would explain SO MUCH to everyone. *hearts them all*

[celli]

That is an awesome story and I would be ALL OVER it if you wrote it.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*beams* It would be an adorable little comedy of errors. Oh, Clark.

I own a zip-up hoodie with the Superman logo across the front. I probably get hit on by more guys when I wear that than any other article of clothing, save perhaps my old Spongebob t-shirt.

I'm not sure what that says about men.

Perhaps all that it can say is, "Run! Run away quickly!"

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Heee. I would hit on you if you were wearing a superman hoodie. I'm just saying.
