So is this like Reddit, or more like Facebook? Can I change my username? Kind of weird it didn’t ask me to set up a password. What if someone steals someone else’s earpieces? Would they be able to post with their account? What if I want to make a second account for… you know. Sideblog reasons?

So you're just accidentally showing off?

[newsbeat]

I'm not showing off at all. Look, I know the trunks are kind of silly, but that is the actual point.

[taxevasion]

Really? Why?

[This isn't normally something he'd discuss with a near-stranger, but heck. The idea doesn't feel terrible.]

I know I can do a lot of powerful things, and that can be scary for some people. But all I want to do is help people, and that means I want them to feel comfortable asking me for help if they need it. I don't want to look intimidating.

[He didn't think about it like that. Being a superhero- in his mind- is at least half about looking cool, half utilitarian. No point in looking cool if what you're doing gets you killed. But that's less of a concern for Superman, who can bend metal and survive being hit by a plane. No need for either of those values- if Superman looked serious... he'd easily look more like a threat.]

Like babies.

[No one would blame you Clark if you just put him out of his misery.]

[newsbeat]

Right. I would hate to scare babies.

[If Clark can deal with Lex Luthor he can deal with this guy. It's not even close to the same level of annoying yet.]

[taxevasion]

No, you're like babies. Babies look cute on purpose so we take care of them. You look silly on purpose so humans don't find you scary. I get it now.

[newsbeat]

I'm not sure if babies do that on purpose but I guess that's close enough?

[taxevasion]

Close enough is good enough for me!
