Lois picspam #1

[bop_radar]

So I decided it was ridiculous that I'd never made a Lois picspam post. After all, I adore her, and she's purty, and I don't really need any excuse to natter away about how great she is. So I went off to collect some pics... that was two weeks' ago. *headdesk* Now I have 200 caps and don't know where to start. *lol

Ten Reasons to Love Lois

Ooh! Yay! ::grabs popcorn, settles in::

1. She's a good samaritan.

Yes. It's one of the things that I genuinely like about many of the SV characters, the way they all help people. So it's nice that Lois fits in with the SV crowd in this way, while being so much of an odd duck in others.

2. She's fearless.

I love that scene with Lionel, and I love the way it paid off in S6, when Lionel was the only one who noticed her activities in "Noir," and the only one who took her seriously as a potential threat. She's made herself known to him, in a way that she hasn't to many of the others, and I love that. Lois certainly knows how to pick her enemies!

4. She's secretly ambitious.

I'm with you on the self-sabotage thing. I once had a college professor explain this to me - it's an extremely common reason for procrastination. If you don't put your whole heart into it, you have a built-in excuse for not scoring the A, or being the best in class. "Oh, that B could have been an A, but I wrote it in an all-nighter, the day before it was due..." She pointed out to me that it'smuch more common among people who can write a B-worthy college-level paper the night before it's due - which goes a long way toward convincing me of Lois's natural talent.

5. Lack of boundaries.

Lois is a bull in a china shop. And what's even better is that she knows this about herself. She even refers to it as "pulling a Lois."

7. She thinks Clark takes himself waaaay too seriously.

Yes, a thousand times. Clark needs someone to needle him, to jostle him out of his funks. And he's going to need it even more when he's all grown up and wearing tights and the whole world really is on his shoulders.

And I love that Lois so mystifies him. She doesn't talk to him like anyone else he's ever known, and it's just... confusing, damn it!

9. She likes to outman Clark.

And speaking of prefiguring, I love that whole tie scene. It's so domestic, and she's so proprietary about it.

10. She's serious eyecandy. *stares*

She's gorgeous. As you said above, 'nuff said.

I love that you're doing this. I look forward to tomorrow's installment!

*nods* SV payoffs are slow but they're cool when they come! And that was a great follow up. Lex may not 'rate' Lois, but Lionel sure knows she's an adversary to watch.

Yes! That's exactly the phenomenom I'm thinking of. A lot of people think perfectionists are always the kids that score well in school. It's not true. There are a lot of bright kids out there self-sabotaging. It's especially true of those who were praised for being intelligent as children. There have been studies done showing that kids that are praised for working hard (rather than innate trait of intelligence) actually succeed at harder tasks better than the kids praised for being intelligent. As soon as something feels 'hard' to the latter group, they think they'll fail and aren't as persistent.

what's even better is that she knows this about herself. She even refers to it as "pulling a Lois."
Yeah, I love self-awareness in a character. *g*

True! I might have to use that in one of the later picspams... ;)

She is! It's gorgeous. *g*

Thanks for the detailed reply! *g*
