You're blackmailing me now? You're coming along nicely.

So I'm bored and sick and avoiding other things, and well, that means memes. Its just my way.

Leave me a character and I will tell you

Why I like them: Because she’s Chloe, really that’s the best explanation I’ve got. I’ve just loved her from day one. So wonderfully smart and interested in knowing things, in knowing the truth even if it hurts, loyal to a fault, willing to do whatever it takes to get things done. She’s pretty and adventurous and once upon a time she was trusting, but then she got burned (time after time) and that lessened over time. And I like that she grew in good ways and she grew in bad ways, that life took its toll. I like that she’s a hero in her own right, who will never claim to be a hero, because she doesn’t think herself worthy of the word. I like that fought for her dream to be journalist, tooth and nail, and then tried new things, only to go back to it because she realized her dreams were important too. I like that her life went so far off the plan she originally had, but she forged a new path, one she was always in control of. I just like everything about her, and will never understand people who don’t like her even a little. (I don’t judge, I just don’t understand.)

Why I don’t: Well see you picked Chloe and she’s my favorite SV character, one of my top characters ever, so…I’m not sure this question is valid. Because I’m aware of her flaws and the bad choices she’s made and things she’s done; but they only make me love her more. (I love that she made a deal with Lionel, but that she faced the consequences with it. I love that she hated Clark for all the wrong reasons in the season nine opener, I love that she funneled money out of Oliver’s accounts instead of asking him because she thought she was saving the world but she didn’t think she could trust him with it, I love that when high on truth serum she asked Clark what his secret was, I love that for a time she believed Davis over Jimmy even though he was telling the truth. I love that she is incredibly flawed but still incredible herself.)

Favorite episode: Yeah, ten seasons, I’m not going to be able to narrow it down to just one. But I will try to limit it. Obscura. Rush. Delete. Truth. Blank. Tomb. Abyss. Stiletto. Beast. Warrior. Sacrifice. Masquerade.

I can meta about all of these and why I love them so much, but your probably already reading this and thinking I talk too much and there’s a good chance I’d run out of room, but basically it stems down to them showing Chloe’s character and who she is and how she’s a fighter and a survivor at heart. And that’s one of the things I love most about her. Warrior’s more about dealing with her Davis issues (oh the parallels, oh how I love the parallels this episode does and how subtle but also wonderful they are. I could write a huge meta on this and the Davis arc on its own) and Sacrifice is in there more for the realization she has in Watchtower with Tess. And Rush, well Rush is in there for purely superficial reasons, because I love bad!Chloe. There should have been more of her.

Favorite scene: Basically any scene with her and Lionel or Lex. (I not so secretly wanted her to become a Luthor, I’ll admit it.) But to be more specific, the scene between her and Lex in Truth, where she coaxes a confession out of him, circles around him and uses a power he knows she has against him. It’s just, its everything I loved about their potential, about what they could have been and what they were. And I loved this side of her, this side that always existed and she always teetered on the side of possibly getting lost in; where she enjoyed the power, where she took what she learned from the sharks surrounding her and used it against them (Lionel circles his victims and here, here Chloe is circling hers), and she manages to manipulate a man who should have the upper hand. But then there’s the end of the scene, where Lex confesses what he really wants, love, and you see Chloe’s face change, you see her whole demeanor change, because he’s just a boy who wants his father to love him and Chloe overly relates to that, who hates herself for getting to this point and asking that question because she can never un-ask it. Even with the chemicals inside her, bringing out this side of her she likes to repress, she still feels bad for what she has done.
