This is my attempt to show what was going on inside Clark's mind at the end of "Whine, whine, whine."

This wasn't betaed. I used parts of the script.

Tell me what you think.

What Queenie said. Plus:

[Joy]"Party time, boys. I think it’s time to build up the Relationship Island.”

Disgust shook his head. “There’s such a thing as a Relationship Island? You’ve got to be kidding me!”

Touching and hysterical at the same time. Your usual great job! Thank you for a lovely surprise moment.

Great story and a perfect scene from the show to use for it! Clark's emotions absolutely would be dueling at that time and getting in control, only to be shoved aside by a different one. Masterfully done! Thanks for sharing!

OH, this was just brilliant!

I remember seeing QotC’s challenge post and thought it would be such a fun idea! I was excited when I saw you posted your challenge responses…and then I’m sad to say I just never got around to reading them. I’d been busy writing and BRing and the other fic I was reading…I was looking for old comfort fics, ones that I knew would evoke the emotions that I was looking for…and every time I looked at this story, I thought to myself, that’ll be good but silly/funny/cute, but I wasn’t in the right mood.

I could not have been more wrong! This is really wonderful and has all sorts of emotions (DUH! What was I thinking??). I just honestly kept loving it the further I kept reading. What a fantastic scene to pick—just perfect! Because he really does have so many emotions in that scene, and it was just perfect the way they fought over things.

I feel like I had more to say, but I can’t think of it… but I just really, really loved this! Now I’m off to read the others! love

Catching up on the Kerth reading...

These Inside stories are fantastic. I loved the movie and you've done a great job of characterizing the emotions within Clark. I can see it all play out in my mind. Thank you for participating in this challenge and sharing your story.

Hi Barbara!
I dug up a few more, and I didn’t read the fanfic challenge or context until after I did all three, so here it goes without any of that insight:

Quote
Anger was playing darts and used a large picture of one Daniel “Call me Dan” Scardino as his target.
Good thing he did not choose to fly around and shoot little darts of heat vision at Call-me-Dan.

Quote
As if on cue, Joy rushed to the console. “Are you completely insane? She hasn’t broken up with us, yet.” “Oh yeah?” Anger shouted. “And what do you believe she’s going to do? Show up to kiss Clark senseless? After all the disappearing he had to do?”
I’m waiting for Self-Destruction to show up.

Quote
Fear started to tremble. “Tell her his secret? She’s going to dissect us like a frog!”
No, eviscerate. With words. Completely different process.

Quote
The guy in the phone shop already knows Clark’s name. That’s freaky.”
Hey, these days Clark could use Amazon’s delivery subscription option. No idea if they have those in the US, too, but Barbara (may) know what I mean with the Spar-Abo option.

Quote
So three hands hit the speak button.
Which is how fumbling happens.

Quote
Joy, Sadness, Fear and Disgust all pulled Anger back from the console with joined forces.
laugh

Quote
. “Do you want to have Clark end up hurting her? You know very well that you can’t press the buttons like that! Remember what happened to the barn when Clark was little?”
Such double meaning: also pushing Lois’s buttons in anger.

Quote
Fear jumped up and down, clutching his mid-section and started to tremble even more. “You’re not going to let him tell her his secret, are you? You can’t do that!”
Suddenly I’m thinking “fear monster”, akin to the Hulk.

Quote
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,” Fear squealed. “What’s she doing there? Move back, move back, move back.” Disgust covered his eyes with his hands. “She’s going to kiss him. Oh, boy. Please let it not be sloppy. I hate sloppy.”
laugh So, do we meet “Lust”? Will he be dressed like Tarzan and carry Bongo drums?

Quote
He giggled and pressed another button until violins started playing in Clark’s head.
Long since prepared “Protocol K” huh? (K for kiss, not kryptonite, and yes, it’s only here that you need to spell that one out wink )

Quote
Disgust shook his head. “There’s such a thing as a Relationship Island? You’ve got to be kidding me!”
/Cocks eyebrow/

Lots of fun. Loved the anthropomorphic emotions.
