Smallville 9.21 Salvation

This.

I'm going to refer to this moment to talk about why I hate Jor-El so damn much in this series.

Because this moment, here, this moment where he very consciously chooses to sacrifice himself (and everything that led up to it), this should have been greeted by his father with understanding and pride. This was the choice of a true hero, one who had weighed every other possibility and chosen the one that caused the least harm, that brought the most peace, that saved two entire worlds from war and tyranny.

But instead what we get from Jor-El the moment Clark opens his eyes in the next season episode is, as always, shame and anger.

And no, I don't care that Jor-El is AI. If it was true that he operated without regard for emotion there would at least be internal consistency to his criticisms of Clark, *but there never is*. (Also, anger is an emotion, and AI Jor-El absolutely expresses anger frequently, and his anger results in active punishments for Clark, not just "natural consequences" from Clark's actions.)

In reality, Clark can just never do the right thing in Jor-El's eyes. If Clark makes a choice based on human emotion, he gets a lecture for being too emotional. If he makes a choice based on logic he gets a lecture for not caring enough about the people he was "sent" to lead. When he chooses to save the lives of the people he loves, Jor-El tells him he can't focus on just a few people, he has to think about everyone. When he thinks about literally everyone and sacrifices himself, Jor-El tells him he failed and abandoned them to greater evil (as if Clark could have possibly foreseen any of what was coming in season 10). Jor-El tells Clark repeatedly that he's NOT a god and shouldn't act like one, yet expects perfection and omniscience from him. He consistently withholds vital information and assistance out of sheer spite. He pouts and gives Clark the silent treatment like an actual child whenever he feels remotely wronged by Clark.

He spends nearly 10 seasons telling Clark that he will never, ever be good enough, going so far as to disown him completely and tell Kara to take his place instead. Clark shows one minor instance of pride for saving both Lois and the people of Metropolis and he's told that he's too dark to defeat the darkness. And again, this is immediately after Clark WILLINGLY AND THOUGHTFULLY SACRIFICED HIMSELF TO SAVE TWO ENTIRE WORLDS.

In other words, Jor-El is a toxic, abusive father. He moves goalposts constantly, he tells Clark to obey or suffer the consequences (but we never see any instances where Clark's obedience actually leads to a better outcome for Clark or anyone else for that matter). After Jonathan dies, Jor-El heaps guilt on Clark's head for choosing to change the past, when Jonathan himself admits that he made his own choices that led to his death. Jor-El tells Clark to do one thing and then blames him for the outcomes when Clark does it.

Clark simply cannot win, because Jor-El doesn't actually want him to.

It's no wonder that by the start of season 10, Clark is holding a pile of insecurity, regret, shame and fear. It's no wonder that he's so terrified of making the wrong choice, no wonder that he so often believes that he HAS to do everything on his own and that everything that goes wrong is literally his fault and his fault alone.

And look, I get it, Jor-El is there to challenge Clark, to push him, to be the Kryptonian influence, blah blah blah. I get that Jonathan and Jor-El are set up as foils for one another in fatherhood. I get that Kryptonian culture is different and Jor-El doesn't operate under human ethics or morals.

None of that changes the fact that he actively works *against* Clark's growth for the majority of the series. Most of the time, Clark has to *unlearn* whatever lesson he learned from Jor-El in order to take the next step towards becoming Superman. Clark rarely, if ever, comes to a place where he actually thinks Jor-El was *correct* in the way he views the world, he only comes to a place where he agrees that not obeying Jor-El means people were punished, and Clark regrets any time someone suffers.

AI Jor-El served as a personal villain for Clark in the series, and the way the writers tried so hard to force Clark to have a relationship with him "because it's his father" was one of the most frustrating story threads in the whole series.

End rant.

Also, fuck Jor-El.

winchesterlegacies replied to your post: .

Totally understand where you’re at (I was in a similar place this year), but just wanted to say the only life you should compare yours to is your own, and I know it’s easier said than done, when everyone seems to be moving forward around you. Things will come together for you when they’re meant to. Keep your chin up!

Thank you bb. I’m trying to do that (everyone has their own unique story, after all)... I just wish my story were easier, lol. I don’t want to deal with emotional abuse and codependency issues when the few friends I have are off finding love and settling down... feels a bit unfair, lol. But thank you for the reply, it’s nice to hear it from someone else. :)

Frise de Lily-Rose Winchester

[candacepandace]

It was a stressful night but Helena eventually gave birth to a healthy baby girl they named Ruth Margaret Winchester. Ruth is Helena's middle name which is also her mother's name and Margaret is the name of Charles' mother. Charles and Helena were beaming with joy at becoming parents for the first time. She was their dream come true.

A beautiful stray dog has been coming around the farm and Lady seems to be in love with him.

I want them to have puppies but we'll see what happens.

Helena Ruth Winchester announced to her husband that she was pregnant with their first child.

That wouldn't be the only new addition to the family this year. Chanticleer also became a proud father in the wee hours of the morning. Welcome, Chicken Little. 🐣

Days on the farm are pretty routine and peaceful. The Winchesters live in leisure as their staff takes care of all the household chores. They have recently been trying for a baby.

Mathilda White came from a very poor family who could not afford to keep her living at home. When she turned 16 she was hired by Charles' father and mother to cook and clean as a live-in housemaid. Now at 20 years old, she has moved with Charles and his new bride to the farm to continue providing service to the Winchester family line. Her father and mother have since passed away and she is unsure what became of all her siblings. She always dreamed of going to school but it just wasn't in the cards for her. She has learned to find her joy in cooking.

Frederick Bennett is an orphan who grew up on the streets. He lived a rough and tumble life and survived by stealing and fighting. When he was in his teenage years he was given a second chance. He was about to be tried as an adult and locked up in jail but the judge had mercy on him and sentenced him to community service instead. The judge saw him for what he truly was - a hungry, scared, and lonely boy. Frederick learned to work on a farm and take care of animals and crops. He found he was good at it and the hard work made him strong and able to release his frustrations. He found comfort in the love of animals who are much more kind to him than people. When Charles and Helena moved to the farm, they hired Frederick to help maintain things. He is fitting in just fine and Lady just adores him.

Mathilda wakes before the sun to make breakfast for everyone. She really is the best cook. All of her meals come out excellent.

These newlyweds are young and so in love 💕They are so cute together and it makes me so happy.

Charles felt like the luckiest man in the world that night, after dinner, as he listened to his wife talk passionately about selling her latest painting. He could look at her for hours. She is so beautiful inside and out. Helena is the kind of woman who could just light up a room with her smile. She is always so cheerful and it's infectious.

Growing up, Charles was very much an academic and always had a dream of getting a distinguished degree. He is a bookish type who loves to read, write, and play the piano. He met Helena in university where they were both pursuing an art history degree. He fell in love with her mind above all else because he'd never met a girl who could keep up with him on an intellectual level before. It didn't hurt that she was also the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. Their families were pleased by their coupling and supported them in their decision to marry.

1890

Charles (26) and Helena (22) get married and move to the countryside to pursue a quiet life where they could focus on starting a family.

Charles has decided to pursue writing as a career while Helena enjoys being a housewife and selling her paintings.
