A ficcish tree falls in the forest and also mixing metaphors

I have a theory on how Lara Lor-Van and Jor-el get together in a Smallville-by-way-of-John Bryne flavour. And also an essay to write. So we all know what's going to happen, eh?

First two paragraphs? *points to icon*

That is an awesome backstory for Jor-el and Lara and I find their experimenting in KINKY WHOSIS OMG hilarious. XD

Heee! I blame Reeve!verse & post-Infinity Crisis Superman but I do me some Vulcan!Kryptonians.

Ah, now it all makes sense! I love the idea of Jor-El and Lara experimenting with kinky alien rituals. Kinda explains all those crystals in the Fortress. Their son needs to learn more of this part of his heritage.

Well, not ALL the crystals are about sex. But there may or may not be one single crystal just on various species' reproductive methods & social mores.

Ooooooooooh, I like these questions/observations! More food for thought.

Sooo, the social differences in Krypton were based on activities, and no one protested because the system worked and stayed in some sort of balance
--Yes, they're based on activities or guilds. Families (AKA Houses) aren't strictly tied to particular guilds but there can be a sense fo loyalty especially if a House is well-known and/or very successful in certain jobs. Also, because procreation is very controlled, parents can pick & choose traits for their offspring. If both parents are dedicated to a particular guild, they may choose to put together their genetic material in such a way that would increase the chances of an offspring that suits that guild.

You also left me wondering whether there was no way to ascend socially other than through marriageThere are 3 main ways to ascend socially: reputation, mentorship or Line, and marraige. Social currency (AKA reputation) is as important as money. Someone from a monetarily poor can become reknowned in a socially

Now I find myself wondering about the Kryptonian economy thankyouverymuch.
-- Um, me too. After all, research has to be funded.

One day when I have time to write Zod I will ask your permission to add your canon with mine and I'll credit you with capital letters.
-- Permission given already! :D In SV!verse, I think Zod was devastated by his son's death not only because of love but also the telepathic bonds & the rarity of child mortality. It just did NOT happen. Plus maybe he'd already reached his quota of offspring; even Krypton's greatest heroes couldn't cirvumvent the birthing law. If fact, it was created specifically to prevent "heroes" from cloning themselves and/or bottle-necking the populations genes.

You're awesome

I'm kind of late to the party, but I have to say that all of this brilliant, I'd love to read fic about it, and some parts aren't too different from my Reunion'verse.
