Clark is really all smiley for someone who he claim he can't stand and moreover when he can't deny his feelings anymore.

8 seasons of torture, 8 seasons of exhausting, repetitive, push and pull clana narrative. The creators could have changed the ending to clana. They could. But damn they did not. If they love clana so much, they should have given them a happier ending. My old ass just got triggered by the logic of these clana fans cause if they all consider that relationship romantic? What the heck!

1. Clark repeatedly stated he loved lana so much, so obsessed about her, but every damn time that he has to choose, she's not his first priority.

2. Clark regressed every time they are together. "Just you and me, ignore the world" but every time that the world is at stake, he will choose the world before lana.

3. Lana hates secrets but she keeps her own.

4. Lana seeks comfort from others whenever she does not get what she wants.

5. I don't know how many times Lana did not believe clark. She did at the end and it felt so forced like the writers are just trying to save her character.

6. Idk about clark. Yes he loves lana so much but he looks at other women too. He's emotionally cheating, same with Lana so I am really confused about the relationship. It's like "I love you so much but you know if you're not here, there are other options too."

7. The Kryptonite ending is very symbolic. I said what I said. Again they were asked to choose, but guess what happened?

8. Their relationship in a nutshell:
   4 pm: I love you
   6 pm: wtf?

Sorry don't wanna watch the whole thing. Michael might just pissed me off

Extremely honest hot take: I hope we could see more of lex and clark's rivalry without the unnecessary, repetitive, exhausting romance. Just wishful thinking. It's a teen romance drama anyway so they use Lana in every opportunity they can get to create drama.

It's a slow burn, one of the slowest out there. Then there's the dragged out lana and clark relationship that revolves around the same dynamic that will obviously end up them not being together. Why?

(rambling ahead sorry)

1. Clois foreshadowing. If you do not know the superman lore then this one is so hard to catch.
2. Showrunners had 8 seasons to change the ending they intended to have but they didn't.
3. This is smallville. Superman's life before he became superman. Honestly during it's run, I wasn't expecting Lois to be there. Almost all of the other clois versions met at DP.
4. In retrospect, I see it as clark having these relationships but at the end, it's not going to work at all. Besides, clark needed to gain more confidence and be more mature in order to handle someone like Lois. He needed those bad relationships to learn something too. Like what mama kent said to lois, there's a reason for bad relationships.
5. What I like about this version is clark and lois established something first like a deep friendship full of banter before they became a couple. They do not walk on eggshells. They act like a married couple even before they become a couple. It was not love at first sight but a love that formed from all the moments they experienced together.
6. Clark's reaction when Lois disappeared. It's so different with others. This sealed the deal for me. Yes, he had his share of crash out when it comes to others but this one, he literally declared his human side is dead and cut off his connection with others. Only when Lois came back did he reconnect again. Guess absence really makes the heart grow fonder.
7. He deals things with Lois in a mature way this time but sometimes you can still see the immature clark. This time he looks so sure, that "this is the woman wanna marry no matter what". And since he's an adult now, it has more substance.
8. Their moments are so light to look at. Even when they broke up, it looks like nothing happened. They communicate, they banter, they solve things.

I love this relationship so much.

Please help. We all know that it is canon that Lois forgets their anniversary and Clark always holds it over her. Do you know any ao3 fanfic related to this? Thank you
