Do you have any other show recommendations that have the same peter and neal or mike and harvey dynamic?

Hi, sorry for just now getting back to you. Unfortunately, there really aren't shows that devote themselves to the brotherly father/son dynamics. Peter and Neal along with Harvey and Mike are peak awesomeness there.

Reblog if you are Team Clana

[mcmusing]

no big deal just thinking about that Clana kiss on the rooftop at sunrise 

where they put the past behind them and started anew and how perfectly it fits Daqylight by Taylor Swift

“There are so many lines that I’ve crossed unforgiven I’ll tell you the truth, but never goodbye”

and

“I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke”

and

“Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it’s morning now It’s brighter now, now” and

“I’ve been sleeping so long in a twenty year dark night (Now I’m wide awake) And now I see daylight (daylight), I only see daylight (daylight)”

and

“I once believed love would be burning red But it’s golden like daylight”

anyway… nbd

what she says: i’m fine

what she means: remember in season 2 after Nell has left Smallville and Whitney dies overseas and Lana is feeling like the worst person on earth? well in 2x11 (”Visage”) she goes looking for Clark and as soon as she finds him in the caves she breaks down in tears because she feels like everyone she cares about in her life leaves her. She immediately apologizes for being mad at Clark earlier and explains that she doesn’t want to loose him–she can’t. Because even after she’s doubted him and accused him of things, he’s still always there protecting her and she cries that he’s the one good thing left in her life? That scene is actually so, so crucial and central to Lana’s character and it solidifies the bond that she and Clark have as people who are there for each other. bc When she cries at her most vulnerable moment, what is his response??? he hugs her and tells her “I’m not going anywhere” and for that moment as she cried in his arms she felt safe and loved. and that feeling stuck with her, AND THEN AT THE END OF THE SEASON WHEN THEY ARE TOGETHER UNDER THE OAK TREE CLARK SAYS HE’S WAITED TO BE WITH HER FOR SO LONG THAT HE’S SCARED OF LOSING IT. AND wHAT DOES SHE SAY HhmmMMMMmmMm?? she remembered his words to her and repeated them back to her… “I’m not going anywhere.” This, my lads, is the reason I am going absolutely FERAL at 3:45 in the morning.

Alternate Ending To 7X20

“Sorry Mr. Kent, you just missed her. Lex Luthor came by a few hours ago and signed the discharge papers.” the nurse explained.

Clark prided himself on staying calm in most situations, but with the thought of Lana with another monster after he’d saved her from one had him on the brink of losing his mind. Think, where would he have taken her? Clark raked his mind and started compiling a list of places to inspect as Chloe walked in.

“Clark, how’s Lana? Can I go in and see her?” Chloe asked, hopeful to hear about her friend’s recovery, before she quickly caught the uncharacteristically panicked look on Clark’s face. “What is it?”

“Lex has her. Chloe, she was here one minute and now, -” Clark started to ramble.

“Hey. Hey. We will find her. Do you have any idea of where he would have taken her?” Chloe asked.

Clark shook his head - Lex had property from Kansas to Shanghai. Finding Lana would be like finding a needle in a haystack. “Let’s start with the mansion” Clark declared a moment before he superspeeded to the mansion. Clark quickly scanned all the floors and was frustrated to find that there was no sign of Lana.

Clark spent the next few hours scouring every inch of Smallville, and eventually returned to the hospital to find Chloe speaking with some police officers. At the sight of a disheveled Clark, Chloe bid farewell to the officers and headed to Clark.

“Anything?” Chloe asked. Clark shook his head and grasped onto whatever calm he had left, trying to think logically. “Chloe, any idea on how we can get leads on where they are?” Clark asked.

“The officers shared that Lex left in a rare car model - one that should be registered to very few people. We can try tracking the license plates.” Chloe suggested. Clark nodded and met her at the Daily Planet.

Lois was typing away when the two stumbled in. “What’s wrong with him?” Lois asked Chloe at the sight of a less-than-put together Clark Kent. Not something you see every day. “It’s Lana.” Of course it is.

“She’s missing-” “Taken” Clark snapped to interrupt Chloe before catching himself and shooting an apologetic look to Chloe. Chloe sighed and nodded - she was used to Clark being overly emotional about practically all things Lana, probably more than Lana herself, who Clark tried to always keep his cool in front of.

Chloe started to pull up the car registration records when Clark’s phone started ringing. Clark answered the phone, and heard Kara on the other line “Clark, when are you coming home? Lana’s here and it seems like Braniac’s hold on her is gone, but she seems a little out of it.” Before Kara finished her sentence, she felt a blur move past her to the direction of the stairs.

Kara headed up to Clark’s room to find Clark’s arms wrapped around Lana as they sat on the floor, leaning against the foot of their bed. Lana looked more at ease than she had been minutes before. Kara smiled in relief and left the two to themselves. They’ll get through it, they always do, Kara thought confidently and she happily made herself a much-deserved peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

"That's how the best ones always start" -Lana Lang to Clark

In a show that is 10 seasons long (I only acknowledge that 8 of them exist), people are bound to find lines or plots that they have problems with. For me, it was Lana in S4 saying to Clark “that’s how the best ones always start” about L*is. So many problems about this one:

Lana was in her last year of high school in that scene - She was what? 18 at most? What does anyone really know about love at 18, let alone how the “best ones always start”?

This was what? The second episode of the first season L*is was here? - At this point, how much could Lana even know about Clark and L*is to make such a comment?

Lana has always loved Clark. Every second of this series. She loved him when she was with Whitney, she loved him even when knowing her best friend did, she loved him when he kissed/went out with said best friend, she loved him when he left, she loved him when he came back and essentially dumped her, she loved him when he wouldn’t tell her the truth, she loved him when she married another guy, when she thought she was pregnant with another guy’s kid, when she found out he was an alien, etc. So, under no circumstances whatsoever, would Lana Lang make such a comment about Clark and another woman.

What irked me most wasn’t so much how Clark and Lana ended, as much as how so many characters became mouthpieces for Cl*is propaganda. This line was so out-of-pocket for Lana to say, I don’t even acknowledge it. She would never say this, given her history with Clark. This was one of the many forced things about Cl*is in that show. And the fact that they had to write lines like this speaks to the great narrative leaps they had to take to make it look like who Clark ended up with made sense.

Silent but vehement prayer request for a very dear friend of mine. He's dealing with hell on Earth right now 💔😞

Remember....

A woman I know pregnant and just found out her baby is going to have down syndrome so she's going to another state to abort it. Please help me pray that she changes her mind during her final scan

Gender dysphoria is NOT a sin. But the world will beckon us to sin in our most weakest moments. The world is saying “if you face gender dysphoria, then listen to your mind and change your body.” The Scripture says, “offer your body to God and allow Him to transform your mind.” (Romans 12:1-2). The transgender movement says to resolve the tension by changing your body. The Scripture says you may live with tension while allowing God to transform your mind.

The sin isn’t gender dysphoria. That is sadly a mental struggle many young people face. We as Christians should not demonize anyone struggling with their gender. We ought to come beside them and guide them through scripture in love. The solution for gender dysphoria is not transitioning, it’s the word of God. It’s good godly counsel. It’s prayer, worship, and learning that you don’t need to change your body to be happy.

Please pray for my brain to recover from neurofeedback. I fear I may have damaged my brain with this "experimental" treatment neurofeedback my parents wanted me to try to "fix" my ADHD and autism about seven years ago now. Naively I let them send me to this shady chiropractor to stick electrodes on my head and rewire my brain, trusting they actually had my best interests in mind at the time. It's supposed to wear off over time but for me it hasn't. It's just gotten worse. Almost every waking moment is painful because of it. I can't concentrate on anything, even though that's what it was supposed to improve for me.

I'm seriously at my wit's end, every psychiatrist I've seen has had no answers, nobody takes me seriously when I try to explain the misery I'm in, I feel so lost and alone and like any slim chance I had to make something of my life has been stolen from me, I'm humbly commending my brain into the hands of God and His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, please pray so that I may find some sort of recovery from what neurofeedback did to my cognitive function and life. Amen.
