Character meme

[bop_radar]

*takes a deep breath*

OK, radioreverie wheedled effectively... and clearly I don't have enough to do (*hysterical laughter*), so I'm doing that meme that's going around.

Name a character (from a show I'm familiar with) and I'll give you three (or more) facts about them from my personal canon/fanon. (Personal amendment: with characters you think I know well, you may also choose an aspect of their lives so I have a focus.)

ETA: You can ask for a character that's already been asked for--I don't mind. It might take me a while to get to them, but I promise I will do so.

YOU SHOULD TOTALLY DO IT, NORA! :-) Really! I don't have personal canon for the characters either really. Except for a few select characters, and then it's more just like very detailed extrapoloations of what I've seen on the show, prompted by meta. I'm just makin' them up on the spot! But 'tis fun!

1. Lionel is delighted that he was chosen as Jor-El's emissary. It allows him direct access to information he would have sought out anyway, and it places him automatically in a position of power, a position he is comfortable with. He thinks it can't have been chance that he was chosen, and he immediately bent his mind to thinking how he could use it to accomplish his aims. He's enjoying balancing Clark and Lex against one another in his own mind. They make good puppets.
2. Lionel loves Martha and he's certain that he'll get to be with her one day. He's patient enough to play the game he needs to to make sure that when they do get together he keeps her for life. He's no longer a youth like his son, hastily stumbling into romantic affairs with all the subtelty of a bulldozer. He's playing the long slow game, and he's playing to win. Lionel always wins.
3. Clark amuses Lionel. So naive, so straightforward, so slow-minded. All those good intentions and no clue how to put them to good effect. This is why the 'good' people of the world need a strong guiding hand, a hand that understands the real issues and can deal with the more sordid aspects of life. He'd be happy to shield Clark from those as long as Clark followed his orders advice.

#2 just makes me flail and flail with happiness, and wish there was more Mionel fic (or maybe vids, she said, batting her eyes at you). And numbers 1 and 3 are just very true.

Heee! Yay! They were both surprisingly fun to write. I'm not promising anything though. ;-)
