Do not try to pretend you remembered or researched what today is. You had to be told. This dorking-out fest is because you're trying to make up for it. It's pretty hilarious to watch, though, so go right ahead.

(Relatedly: that spoiler that has you so pleased with Injustice? Not something to be pleased about! You know the one I mean. I don't care if you're vindicated, I'm not.)

Thanks for celebrating the 75th anniversary of our existence, and for trying to drag the Clarks you play with into it, too.

Now go get things posted why don't you.

Happy anniversary, Ms. Lane. Here's to another 75?

[wherethestoryis]

Here's to. [The drink she holds up is a mug of coffee--but still.] It has its downsides--countless mishandlings--but it has its upsides, too.

[escarabajo]

[Cheers! With a soda. He taps the top just in case and cracks it open.]

It's still a big achievement, though. I haven't even been here for 10 yet. 75 is huge.

Got any resolutions for year 76? Provided that, um, the writers cooperate. I'm starting to see what those mishandlings are on my end too.

[wherethestoryis]

Give it time. I hope you've got the staying power, you're a neat kid.

[See her growly face.]

I'd like to start my campaign of attrition by finding the writer who said something to the effect of implying my independence and strength are lessened when I'm in a relationship with my husband.

Then punch him in the face. With my left hand.

Then start wringing names out of him to continue hunting down. You want in?

[He's neat!! Thankfully, his skin's too dark for it to be entirely obvious that he's turning pink.]

Um, thanks! I do my best, that's all.

[escarabajo]

Wow, wait, what? That's just not cool.

Can I get them to stop trying to make me an angsty jerk? If so, I am way up for this.

[wherethestoryis]

We can definitely put that on the agenda. We should take a survey of grievances before we go.

[escarabajo]

First order of business-- demanding that they get a better Spanish translator.

[big_blue_boyscout]

Well, it's the thought that counts, right?

[He's not even touching Injustice. As much as he's continually flattered by the fact people like him enough to make movies and games about him this one ... this one he just can't stomach. Besides, this is too happy a day to be thinking about that unpleasantness.]

[wherethestoryis]

Action makes good back-up, but that'll happen. There are plans.

[Hey, he could have had it worse.]

[big_blue_boyscout]

[The reason he can't stand it is how he was treated. It's how you were treated. That, and the thought of losing you is terrifying to him.]

Glad to hear it. This is something worth celebrating.

[There's that nostalgic smile of his.] I still can't wrap my head around the fact that it's been 75 years.

[wherethestoryis]

[Yes, well... he could have been treated worse than losing her like that? ...maybe?]

Doesn't feel that long, does it? [And she smiles back--she loves his smile.] All the crises and do-overs warp the feeling.

Of course I forget the all important "n't" in isn't. Not my brightest moment

[big_blue_boyscout]

It can make it a little difficult to keep track sometimes. [He admits with a little chuckle.] Still, even with all of that, we've had a pretty good run. Even if some of the recent years haven't been the best.

[He's not happy by any means when it comes to the recent changes. But, it wouldn't be him if he didn't focus on the silver linings.]

[superman_two]

Seventy-five years. Where does the time go, Lois?

[wherethestoryis]

Memories, lifetimes, too many pots of coffee, and enough spare universes to line a wastebasket.

[superman_two]

[A smile.]

Well said. Here's to 75 more.

[wherethestoryis]

Only 75? Have some ambition. [Totally teasing.]

Have a Superman: Secret Identity Clark.

[noboothneeded]

Really? That long? Huh.

N'aww

[wherethestoryis]

Really, that long. A lot changed--but a lot stayed the same, too.

[tripleshot]

Hey, it's the thought that counts, right?

[wherethestoryis]

Professional experience informs me action is more important than thought. Or speech. Just look at politicians.

[tripleshot]

I'd rather not. I prefer keeping my blood pressure low. [But she's kidding, mostly.] Sometimes it does take a few nudges for actions to become habits though.

[A slight frown.]

For better or worse.
