fanfic peeve of the week

[buggery]

Because I'm finding myself with plenty enough to gripe about at least once a week.

It's in the details, people:

Lex's desk is glass, not wood; it has metal legs and no drawers; it's really more of a table. The chair behind it is neither padded nor leather. These things are clearly visible in numerous episodes.

Or is there another show people are watching that I've missed out on? From the number of stories in which Lex swivels his leather desk chair for a blowjob, or Clark fetches lube out of the desk drawer, or someone gets bent over his heavy wood desk and grips the sides of it, I'm starting to wonder.

See, I'd think of the desk as Lex's choice rather than his father's. It's ultra-modern European style. Just the sort of thing I'd expect a thrusting young exec to have. :-)

Oh, it could be Lex's desk. (Just like it could be Lex's couch, for all we know. Heh.) All I'm saying is that since the castle doesn't belong to Lex, and he's mentioned canonically that the things in it are his father's, we can't use the desk (or the couch, or the oval, full length mirror, or the ugly orange and blue enema-shaped pottery art in the window) as a basis for Lex's characterization. The stuff ON the desk is a different matter entirely.

You're right, that pottery is disgusting :-) Really I was just looking for an excuse to say thrusting young exec :-)

[lexcorp-hope.livejournal.com]

Could you be more specific? Into what might this young buck exec be thrusting? Tell me more. *drool*

[eleanorb.livejournal.com]

I'm easy. Just as long as it's not that awful pottery :-)

[buggery.livejournal.com]

That's not pottery, it's glass.

Have I mentioned I'm anal?

[eleanorb.livejournal.com]

Whatever - it's all ghastly.

Actually in Kinetic there's an awful china vase/urn too, further off to the left.

You mean the antique Chloe uses to distract Clark while she sneaks off?
