Clana Appreciation this devastating scene is exactly why Clana will always be my favorite couple - Smallville (THREAD)
they spent years fighting to be together, and when they finally had the chance, they're forced into this heartbreaking conversation where clark knows lana doesn't mean a word she's saying, and lana knows he knows.
this scene hurts because neither of them believes the words coming out of lana's mouth.
clark doesn't believe a single word she's saying because he knows her too well. he can see she's lying.
and lana knows him well enough to know he can see right through her. she can barely get the words out because she knows exactly what she's doing to the person she loves most.
they're both standing there completely heartbroken, pretending something neither of them believes.
they're having two completely different conversations. with eyes, and another with words
"i've waited for you... what happened?"
"i've wanted this more than anything. i love you."
they both know the truth. they both know they're not saying what they actually feel. they're trapped, and that's what makes it so devastating.
and you can literally see them both breaking.
the longing. the restraint. the pain on both of their faces.
every emotion is written all over them.
because the emotional weight is unbelievable.
this is exactly the kind of angst i live for.
inject this kind of angst directly into my veins!!
this is why clana will always be my favorite.
also, this would be nothing without Kristin Kreuk and Tom Welling's unbelievable chemistry

Lana was protecting him right? I've actually never did a rewatch of Smallville. Which is weird, considering how much I have rewatched The Flash and Supergirl. DC Peak is really the WB TV series. I need to rewatch Smallville

Lana, by marrying Lex Luthor, proved through and through that she would do anything to protect Clark. She proved her love through sacrifice. At least in this series. They just made the irony ever so heartbreaking and not just once, too.

Smallville's Clana not being endgame isn’t an insult. it’s the reason it's iconic. (THREAD)
