#jo and Lex

[baby1967impala]

What’s a lil dululu between friends?

@shade-vermillion

[daughterofposeidon27]

Sometimes I wish I were a water bender/child of Athena, so I could go Katara or Annabeth Chase on people’s asses. I’m so sick of being quiet.

I wish I could be Jo from Little Women, to have her skill with words to say exactly what I mean in the most clear, succinct and poignant way.

I wish I were Katniss, so I could have the world watch as I hold a mirror up to the camera to show the world it’s flaws.

I wish I were Lex Foster, so I could inspire change, even if it’s just one person. I wish I were Ella Ashmore, who, after so much suffering, finally rose to the power she deserved and created the change that only she could make.

I wish I were Mulan, Jasmine, Merida, Anna, Elsa, all these women, who, despite being animated, spoke to a whole generation of young women. They all stood up against the world that was holding them down. They fought against the system.

And yes, I’m aware this skips from YA to Classics to YA and Disney, but right now, the only people I can really think about rn are fantastic heroes who have the integrity and morals that I wish I possessed.

This is probably not going to get seen. I accept that, but you dear viewer, if any, please let me know how you feel too. I want to know.

I’m writing this at 12:40 am. I’m exhausted and had just gotten off doom scrolling the internet for the night when I felt the urge to scream into the void. So this is what it is.

I tagged this as feminism, because that’s the lens I’m writing this with, but, it can apply to all sorts of things. Environmental issues, political issues, world issues, poverty, famine, droughts, capitalism. Anything you think of when you read the first couple of paragraphs, that’s what it could be about. Please, if people are seeing this, let me know.

I have a super funny elseworlds idea but idk if it's been done.

Basically, au Lex Luthor travels to roughly canon-ish dc world, and everyone has to react to a version of Lex that is, get this, Superman. Like, I'm not kidding.

His name is Lex-El and he's [insert synonym for super]man. He also has hair. And he grew up with the Kents. And he has archenemy named Kalvin Luthor, or just Kal Luthor. You get the vision here?

Also Lex's best friend is Joseph "Joey" Kerr who is Gotham's Joker and Joey's worst enemy is the Batman, a super evil dude who kills small criminals out of hatred for Joe Chill cuz the dude could just never get over it.

I have even more ideas. Like, imagine Lena Luthor and Kara also switching roles! Kara Luthor and Lena Kent. Lena is Lex's cousin obvs and Kara is like a sort of supervillain but not really? Eh who cares.

That sound? It’s not me crying, it’s… the dinosaurs… doing dinosaur stuff… I don’t know why you would think I’m crying over them

Friendly reminder that Jo Wilson deserves better than a man who broke down her walls, got her to trust men again after everything she's been through, who knew her history and still ended up treating her like shit

[starrystevie]

for the incredible lex (@thefreakandthehair) in celebration of her big day! wishing you both all the happiness that this next chapter of your lives can bring you <3

as music and laughter poured out through the open back doors, steve and eddie were standing in the shadows, hands entwined and rings knocking together. there was a breeze whipping through the night air that always came with september, pushing up goosebumps on their skin under their department store suit jackets as it coursed over them.

"getting kind of chilly," eddie muttered, knocking his shoulder into steve's like it would give them the motivation to walk into their reception. he could hear robin in there singing something, no doubt a love song to nancy, and tried to tune it out so he could focus on the palm that was warming his. on the calm before the storm that was the rest of their goddamn lives.

"i kind of like it out here," steve replied with an easy smile, squeezing his hand once and then twice. "it's quiet. we get to just be us for one more second."

eddie shuffled impossibly closer, grin of his own pulling his cheeks up. "we can't hide here forever, sweetheart. gotta go dance so i can show off my new husband."

steve shifted the perfect amount so that he could press his lips to eddie's and wrap his free arm around his waist, pulling their chests together. eddie hummed deep in his throat and brought a hand up to thread into the back of steve's hair.

"you just want to go in to try and convince jonathan to play different music," he murmured against eddie's lips before kissing him once more. eddie pulled back and gave steve a look of mock indignation.

"me? never. you'd think getting married would stop the slanderous lies and accusations but even the holy sanctity of our union isn't enough to-"

steve tipped his head back in a laugh. eddie watched him like he was made of stardust.

"it's not even official in the eyes of the church, you drama queen."

with a tug that wiped the smirk off steve's face, eddie brought their foreheads together, releasing the hand that was tangled with steve's so he could curl it around his waist to bring them flush together. their eyes shut on instinct to be in the moment, to feel the night and feel each other. and just like it had been for the last five years of them being a them, the air that was dancing in their lungs was shared.

"yet," eddie whispered. he felt steve take in a shaking breath, the exhale making the curls around his cheeks flutter. "not official... yet."

steve tilted his head up, knocking their noses together gently, before opening his eyes. his eyelashes lightly brushed against eddie's skin and his fingers were trailing under his suit jacket to press against eddie's back, warmth seeping through his shirt and onto steve's palm.

brown eyes met brown eyes and it sparked through them like an oath in and of itself. they were matched in height, matched in eye color, matched in all the superficial ways that didn't matter. but they were mirrors of each other in the way that soulmates end up with different types of scars patched up by each other, with laughs that mesh together in harmony, with hearts that learned how to beat in time.

"i know, baby. when we..." steve started quietly, his lips still close enough to eddie's that he was tempted to pepper even more kisses onto them. "when it's official, it's not going to change this moment. you are my husband, mine. no slip of paper is changing that, you hear me?"

'husband' rang through the night clear as a bell, the trees blowing in the breeze like a celebratory dance for the two of them. the song inside changed to something softer and as it bled into their backyard, the two started up a dance of their own. it was easy to sway back and forth while looking in each other's eyes, not even picking up their feet like they were afraid of being swept off them if they did.

"i always hear you, stevie," eddie whispered.

eventually they'd go inside. eventually they'd eat the food that joyce made for them all and eventually cut into the cake that steve bought and eventually dance in the living room with the family that they made for themselves. eventually they'd cart the ones who could drive into their cars and eventually sit on the couch with wayne for a blessing of his own and eventually fall into bed like they've done a thousand times but this time with extra gold on their hands.

but right there, in the backyard with the trees dancing alongside them, they got to breathe, celebrating a day meant just for them and their matching heartbeats. they got to be steve and eddie just as they were made to be: for each other.

LIN!! if you’re comfy with answering, what are you and togame’s preferred love languages to give to each other? and could you give an example of what each of you might do to convey that? :3

i hope you have a wonderful day <33

Hi Lex! I've been daydreaming about this off and on all day. Togame is like...my summer boyfriend turned long-term attachment.

My love language is acts of service, for sure. I'm all about cooking good meals, doing the more mundane tasks around our apartment, finding things for us to do on the weekends (even though Jo prefers to play things by ear and go with where the vibes are good). It makes me feel important and needed when I help others do everyday things.

Jo is very much a quality time guy. He wants to laze on the couch, walk around downtown, accompany me to the store, to the mailbox, to the toilet (kidding). He is happiest when we are just together in any sense of the word.

I think as a couple, our combined love language (is that a thing? if it isn’t, I'm making it one) is physical touch. Constantly wound around each other, holding hands, skin to skin contact, smothering in each other. It's probably gross. It's because we are in love. I made a moodboard of us a while back, but here are some more examples.

So yeah. We are disgustingly in love and it makes me giddy to even think about it.

Thank you SO MUCH for asking. What a fun thing to think about

Smallville Side Story What if’s

Lex Luthor X OC

Smut, smut, smut, smut!

I don’t own Smallville.

Smallville Side Story What if’s? PT. 1

Lex Luthor, the infamous businessman, stood in his luxurious penthouse, his blue eyes flickering with a wicked gleam as he stared at the photos he had just developed. They were images of Elizabeth Joanna Winchester, known to her friends as Betty Jo, in a compromising position with a married man. He had planned to use these to his advantage, to blackmail her into submission.

Betty Jo, a woman of considerable charm and beauty, had strawberry blonde hair that cascaded down her shoulders, framing her freckled nose and hazel green eyes. She was a woman of healthy weight, her curves accentuated by her fitted dress. When she discovered Lex's plan, she was livid. She stormed into his penthouse, her eyes blazing with fury.

"How dare you, Lex!" she spat, her voice trembling with rage. "These are private moments, not for your eyes."

Lex smirked, his eyes never leaving the photos. "Ah, but Betty Jo, you see, these moments are now my leverage."

Without a second thought, Betty Jo lunged at Lex, knocking him to the floor. They wrestled, their bodies entwined as they fought for control. Betty Jo straddled him, her dress riding up her thighs, revealing her lace-trimmed stockings. Lex's eyes widened, his breath hitching as he felt her warmth against his groin.

Betty Jo leaned in, her lips inches from his. "You want leverage, Lex?" she whispered, her breath hot against his skin. "Fine. Let's play your game."

She leaned in, capturing his lips in a searing kiss. Lex was taken aback, his body responding to her touch despite his mind's protests. He tried to push her away, but Betty Jo was relentless. She kissed him hard, her tongue exploring his mouth as her hands roamed his body.

Lex's resolve crumbled. He surrendered to her touch, his hands sliding up her thighs, his fingers tracing the lace of her stockings. Betty Jo smirked, her eyes gleaming with triumph as she felt his erection straining against his pants.

"You want me, Lex?" she whispered, her lips brushing against his ear. "Then you're going to have to earn it."

With a swift motion, she pushed him onto his back, her hands making quick work of his belt. She pulled his pants down, revealing his hard, throbbing cock. Betty Jo licked her lips, her eyes never leaving his as she lowered her head, taking him into her mouth.

Lex groaned, his hands fisting in her hair as she sucked him, her tongue swirling around his tip. He was lost in the sensation, his mind clouded with lust. He wanted her, needed her. He wanted to dominate her, to make her submit to him. But Betty Jo had other plans.

She pulled away, her lips swollen and wet. "Not so fast, Lex," she said, her voice husky with desire. "I'm not done with you yet."

She straddled him again, her dress hiked up around her waist. She was bare underneath, her pussy wet and ready for him. She took his cock in her hand, guiding him inside her. They both gasped as she sank down on him, her walls stretching to accommodate his size.

Betty Jo began to move, her hips rocking against his as she rode him. Lex's hands roamed her body, his fingers teasing her nipples through her dress. He was lost in the sensation, his mind clouded with lust. He wanted to dominate her, to make her submit to him. But Betty Jo had other plans.

She leaned in, her lips brushing against his ear. "You're mine, Lex," she whispered. "You're mine to control."

Lex groaned, his body responding to her words. He was hers, completely and utterly hers. He surrendered to her, his body trembling as he reached his climax. Betty Jo followed, her orgasm crashing over her as she rode him, her walls clenching around his cock.

They lay there, panting and sweaty, their bodies still entwined. Lex looked at Betty Jo, his eyes filled with a newfound respect. She had bested him, had taken control and made him submit. He had underestimated her, and he would not make that mistake again.

"You win, Betty Jo," he said, his voice hoarse. "You win."

Betty Jo smirked, her eyes gleaming with triumph. "I always do, Lex," she said. "I always do."

And with that, she climbed off him, leaving him lying there, naked and exposed. She gathered her clothes, her eyes never leaving his as she dressed. She had won this battle, but she knew this was far from over. Lex Luthor was not a man to be defeated so easily.

But for now, she had won. And that was all that mattered.

FIN.

[arwenlalaith]

Otp:

1, 3,8,13,29 for emily x alex👀

1. Who is the most affectionate? Neither of them grew up in a household that was big on overt affection, so they both have to work hard to make an effort to show their affection. Alex shows it through words, of course, and Emily through acts of service.

3. Most common argument? They cannot for the life of them play Scrabble together because they constantly argue about whether words should "count" or not.

8. Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate? Alex calls Emily Jo - it means sweetheart, but isn't overly cheesy. It started when they were dating and wanted to keep things secret. Alex doesn't particularly like nicknames, but will begrudgingly let Emily call her Lex.

13. Who reaches for the other’s hand first? Emily.

29. one headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart Both of them want to be a mother so badly, but they're plagued by infertility.
