matriarchal That there are about 3000 more things going on in his head at any given moment than most people realize, that good and kind and friendly and honest do not mean open,
and that there are a million little ways that Clark is different that need to be considered when it comes to his actions in a smooth, 'thoughtless' way
also that there are just things that the comics will never outright say or show, parts of his life and thoughts and etc that people just HAVE, and that there's a lot of interplay between his various cultures
Clark is allowed to think uncharitable things and have split second reactions and make mistakes. It's what he processes through and how he reacts and what he actually DOES that makes him awesome

that there's a very interesting dichotomy between being 'lame' and being a 'god', between being a god and being a PRODUCER, a worker, between being a god and being someone at the whim, of sorts

I have to keep EVERYTHING in mind with Sand, because he's one of those characters who looks like a giant bucket of contradictions until you spend the time to see how everything fits together.
He's a man from the past who makes a very firm EFFORT to live in the present. Like, it's canon that he spent like a good portion of time when he came out of the Cage just catching up on movies and music
He's the recon guy who likes to investigate and piece together clues, but he's also the guy who quite literally just dove into the earth to try and hold it together ALONE when an alien god tried to take it
he'll grouse about the fact that the kid he saved last night is still going to be scarred for life and that everything they do is a sisyphian task before scrubbing his face and shaking his head at himself
and yet, he never stops doing it, never stops believing in it even a little. He's deeply honest with the fact that Wesley fucked up his life, and yet he's just as honest about the fact that Wesley loved him
he has to deal with the reality of people, of how goddamn awful they are but also how complex they are and despite having completely broken ass powers, tends to handle street crime more often than anything

Words are not her default. She will NOT try to solve a problem with words. Words are hard and MAKE problems half the time. She DOES she does not say. She ACTS she does not argue.
god he's so cute I can't take it
