Twenty-two years of Smallville. Because it is a TV series to watch and watch again. Here is the interesting article from "il Giornale.it" 😉🗞️👇

It is such a shame that Allison Mack wound up co-running a fucked up abusive sex cult, because she is such an underrated actress. I'm re-watching Smallville and while I remembered that Micheal Rosenbaum, John Glover and Annette O'Toole were all fantastic to watch, I'm finding that as the show gets deeper and deeper into it's run they are giving Chloe meatier and meatier material to work with, and Mack is fucking killing it. I wonder what the fuck happened that sent her spiralling out of Hollywood and into "branding other women for her master's sexual pleasure".

Okay, so the cars really were a gift from the network. It wasn't in either of the J's contracts to get an Impala. The network decided to gift them the cars as a thank you!

Just think about it. That's after the show ends. That's not a gift to bribe them or anything. That's just a heartfelt thank you, because Jared and Jensen not only did an outstanding job at acting and helping to keep the fandom alive, but also because they set such an example by creating this great work environment. At least, that's what you hear from LITERALLY EVERYBODY who has ever worked for SPN. How outstandingly good the work experience was thanks to J2.

And they could have made so much money if they had sold the cars instead.

(Jared also said, that in real life he is the classic cars fanatic. So everybody saying Jared wouldn't deserve one for whatever reason can please kindly go away. )

I lived for Michael Rosenbaum continuously changing his background during the Smallville Wizard World Q&A (and the others noticing it)

✨Weekly Review✨

What happened:

This week I turned 21. Yay. Where I live 21 isn’t a big deal tho and I don’t care much about my birthday anyways. But yeah, that happened.

Every other day besides my birthday I spent studying because exams will start tomorrow. I’m kinda nervous because I started university last September so these will be my first exams. I studied a lot and still don’t feel prepared at all. I tend to get very nervous before the exam and then calm down while at it. I just really hope the next two weeks go by fast so that it’s all over :D

What I listened to:

• In the air tonight ~ Jon Howard (the original song is an all time favorite too but I found this cover in the Lucifer soundtrack and just loved it!!)

• Ain’t no rest for the wicked ~ Cage the elephant

• Unsteady ~ X Ambassadors

• The ghost of you ~ My Chemical Romance (<- favorite band ever btw)

• Podcast: Inside of you by Micheal Rosenbaum

• Hans Zimmer & John Williams (while studying)

What I watched:

• continued Smallville (currently in season 4)

• continued Lucifer (currently at the end of season 3)

• started to rewatch White Collar because I never saw it from beginning to end

I tend to stop watching shows I like before they end.. I think that’s why I started white collar instead of continuing Lucifer because I know it will end after season 5 and I don’t want it to end. Makes absolutely no sense but that’s me :D I will get there eventually

Must See TV You've Never Heard Of

Must See TV You’ve Never Heard Of

Breaking In (2011-2012) What It Is: You’d be easily forgiven for never having even been aware of the existence of this short-lived sitcom, as it was one of oh so many shows that suffered under the poor decision-making of its network, FOX. The first season was only seven short episodes but more than enough to make an impression, on me at least, if nobody else. It was granted one more season…

Are Women Inherently Attracted to Villains?

Ever heard of the bad boy type? The type of man who's sexy yet broody, or the type of man who’s dangerous but has a sensitive side? It’s a well-known stereotype that women are attracted to villains. The question is: why are we? Is it the danger they impose that’s attractive or the dark vibes they give us? Here, I present three villains that to some extent have a sexy appeal to them. Let's explore what male villains have in common and if the stereotype that women are attracted to villains has some truth to it.

1. Darth Vader

Darth Vader is the first on my list because while he might not look sexy on the outside, his attempts to lure Luke to the dark side makes us wants to root for him. Darth Vader is a fan favorite villain because he’s known to be merciless and powerful--so why would women be attracted to him? For me, his ‘’attractiveness” is more seen in The Return of the Jedi (1983) where the audience doesn’t just see Vader as the evil Jedi who killed Luke’s mentor, but also Luke’s father. But that’s not what makes him attractive. Could it be that the iconic scene of Darth Vader convincing Luke to join the dark side wasn’t just convincing Luke, but also the audience? One of Vader’s iconic quotes is “you don’t know the power of the dark side.” He says this to Luke who wanted his father to be on the good side. There’s a lot of temptation happening in this scene--it’s almost like the biblical story of Eve tempting Adam to eat the forbidden fruit. Watching Darth Vader tempt his son to join evil can be a turn-on for some women who find this to be an attractive quality. Another reason why some women might feel a strange attraction to Darth Vader is because they can feel Luke being tempted as well. Luke very well may have felt tempted to join the dark side so he could be reunited with his father; however, he could also be tempted by the lust of power that Vader promises him. Yes, another reason why Vader is attractive is because he represents ultimate evil and ultimate power. Lots of heroes get tempted by power, and there’s something attractive about seeing this desire for power, because we secretly yearn for power too. So in some ways, Darth Vader is letting us explore our darkest desires that many of us suppress just as Vader is attempting to release Luke’s inner desires. 

2. The Phantom

The Phantom from The Phantom of the Opera (2004) is another villain like Vader who allows us to dive deep into our darkest desires. The Phantom is known for tempting Christine to be with him, which is most revealed in the song “The Music of the Night” where Christine can only belong to him if she gives in to her fantasies. Christine represents chastity (if you didn’t already know that from her famous white robe). She’s another character that has to choose between being with someone who makes her feel love and the other who makes her feel lust. I love Gerard Butler as The Phantom because he adds an erotic aspect to the villain. For example, he’s known for caressing Christine and she allows this because a part of her doesn’t mind it. We see this in the “Point of No Return” scene where Christine knows the Phantom is disguised as one of the actors in the play. In order to reveal his true identity to the audience she gives in to her lust because she knows that’s what The Phantom wants from her. She allows him to once again caress her and have their bodies become one on stage, only to remove his mask to the audience. The Phantom is without a doubt a sex symbol for women and in some way replicates Count Dracula--both men are seen as monsters to society, and they're known to be charming and dark at the same time. 

3. Lex Luthor

Last but not least, who better of a villain than the seductive and powerful Lex Luthor? By Lex Luthor, I mean the one that Micheal Rosenbaum played in Smallville. Fans of Smallville know that Lex Luthor wasn’t always a bad guy, but from season 4 and up we gradually see his dark side emerging. So why would some women find Lex Luthor attractive? After all, he’s bald. Lex might be bald but in many ways he proves himself to be a ladies’ man, if you haven’t already seen the picture above. The person he is holding is none other than Miss Lana Lang, Lex Luthor’s love interest and obsession. Of course, some Smallville fans were upset that Lana chose Lex over Clark and find it hard to comprehend what she sees in Lex. The reason why I brought Lana into this discussion is because all the reasons why Lana fell in love with Lex are the same reasons some Lexana fans fell in love with him as well. First off, Lex may be the villain, but he has a way with words--especially his words regarding Lana which give him a charming quality, although most of his words are actually lies. Second, he’s rich. Lana may have not been attracted to Lex because of his money but in some ways, she found perks to dating someone who is rich. Because Lex is wealthy, he gave Lana anything she wanted. Of course, this was to make sure she can never leave him, hence the obsession. Lex’s wealth also makes him powerful. His money is the reason why he did experiments on meteor freaks--because he can, and nobody can stop him.

While Lana might have been not everyone’s favorite character because she was usually a damsel in distress, that quickly changes in season 6 where Lana was forced to marry Lex. To add to this, I want to briefly talk about the mythological story of the rape of Persephone. Persephone was abducted and raped by her uncle Hades (God of the Underworld) and was forced to marry him and rule in the underworld with him. In some ways, we can compare Persephone to Lana; both seem to be damsels in distress and were forced to be married. But some might argue that Hades did not completely trick Persephone into staying in the Underworld with him. In fact, there’s a good chance that Persephone chose to become Queen of the Underworld so she can have power. Similarly, while Lana was in a trapped marriage with Lex, she gained power by being his wife which allowed her to double-cross him at the end of the season. In summary, given the villains I’ve mentioned, all of them have a common denominator of power and temptation. Are women attracted to villains, or are women inherently attracted to men with power?
