Ok we’ve talked a lot about Alex and Astra, but just imagine Cat and Astra meeting oh boy. Although more like oh girl and that girl is Kara because she would be in Distress

I want a batfam fic when Jason dissapears, so Steph and Cass break into his place to investigate, and all they find is a note like that:

I got married and am now on a space honeymoon, where we get married at every single planet we can.

Xoxo

Jay

Ps.

Whoever found it - Get everybody's (especially B's) reactions on camera and give to me as the best wed gift in the world, and you'll be my favourite forever.

If you're B - Fuck you, you always ruin my fun, and you're not allowed at my place, so if it's you I hate you. Fuck you, B.

Is it a joke? Did he really eloped? And with who? Because he sure as hell didn't tell anyone. Like, WAS HE EVEN DATING?

Anyway, Steph and Cass have a blast out of it.

and said “what if we made him so miserable and tortured and angry” and everyone at dc just agreed.

sleep with one eye open mr snyder. I’m coming for you. for all your crimes.

do you think about how kara sobbing after the confrontation with her mother’s AI may be the same reaction she has after she stood up to every single one of her friends (including James), her sister, her coworkers at the DEO and most likely at Catco, literally everyone about how Lena was innocent and would never own Kryptonite and she was so convinced she even risked her life to save Lena, knowing that they would have Kryptonite and that guy was going to explode. And she loves her friend and she’s trying her best to get past it but every time she extends a hand Lena is just so focused on the endgame and her views warped by her mother’s influence that she just can’t accept it.

even if it’s not external–this is probably kara’s emotions internally. this is the anger behind the anger–and it’s mostly just hurt.

[randomthingsthatilike1]

so i was thinking about that post, about how maladaptive coping methods were at one point adaptive and do you think about how Kara and Lena both react to conflict and betrayal?

Kara is influenced by the shadow of kryptons destruction in her every action–how many people do you think she wishes she can see one last time? maybe she thinks about how stupid that one fight was in the light of such overwhelming loss and how she holds on tight to people no matter what. no matter how much they hurt her.

James and Winn lied to her for months after she was nothing but honest to them, where she didn’t even have a choice to tell James her secret, where this is something James can choose but Kara will never stop being an alien, who’s living in a deeply xenophobic society and still James and Winn were the ones who lied.

how j'onn was actually an alien but treated her like she was gum on his shoe and had her shot of the sky with Kryptonite and wouldn’t let Alex tell Kara about being in the DEO for 3 years.

Alex never went against orders and told Kara she was part of the DEO (aka alien Guantanamo) and killed her aunt. alex said it herself–clark abandoned her. astra tried to kill her and her sister but again Kara forgives her, because Astra is dying and what else left is there to do?

lena creates the thing that tortures her. the thing that killed and tortured her aunt (also there are plenty of things that can kill humans but when loved ones are killed by a certain thing, like a knife, or a gun, or even a dog humans tend to really hate the thing that killed them) and after the initial freakout she still extends her hand in friendship. and you know what? maybe Kara forgives too easily

it’s not really a criticism of lena but with everything that happened with Lillian and lex I think a lot about lena and her inability to forgive can be summed up as I finally love myself enough to be angry about how I was treated. and for someone who was always told she wasn’t good enough and had people who should have loved her try to kill her this isn’t the worst attitude to have..

whereas Kara kind of just. takes it. and keeps taking all of it. and there isn’t really talk for Kara any more about how to get past her anger and the betrayal

it’s that John mulaney quote- I’m going to hold all of my emotions right here and then one day I’ll die.“

whereas lena maybe needs to look at her one strike you’re out of my life policy if she wants to have healthy relationships w people bc people fuck up without it being an abusive kind of situation. it just happens. like. if Kara truly was acting like Lillian she would have said James was lying and he’s doing this because they used to date and he doesn’t want lena and supergirl to be friends (psa i am not saying this is what happened THIS IS THE BEING LIKE LILLIAN SCENARIO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR) but she owned up to it and was like ok we need to talk about this I did do that and i want to still be friends but all Lena can see is a repeat of her mother and lex and immediately cuts ties and metaphorically runs.

tl;dr lena and Kara both need therapy. so much fucking therapy. please someone bring them and everyone else to therapy.

honestly I see so many jokes about how lena constantly says she can always tell when Kara is lying and that she’s horrible at keeping secrets from her but the thing that’s tragic is that lena is actually pretty damn good at spotting what Kara’s feeling, even when she doesn’t know the actual details. it’s part of what makes them such good friends– they’re emotionally honest with each other.

so even if she doesn’t know that Kara is supergirl she probably knows when Kara is lying. And that’s why she always brings it up, she doesn’t know what it’s about but she knows that it’s happening. And can you imagine little 13 year old lena, watching her beloved big brother slowly descend into madness and she knows something is horribly horribly wrong, but she has no idea what and everyone tells her she’s imagining things, that everything is fine?

she’s never been more upset to discover she’s right.

lena may not know that Kara is supergirl but she does know that Kara is lying to her. except, Kara’s not lex–shes the best person she knows. and she’s not lying to any of her other friends or her sister, so it’s just to lena–she can’t fault Kara for that. she’s trying, but she’s a luthor after all. if the most moral person she’s ever met doesn’t trust her then maybe she shouldn’t be trusted.

krypton probably figured out how to travel faster than the speed of light so have you thought about kara, looking at the sky every night and every day (she does have super eyes) and seeing the light of Rao still shining, even though it’s long gone

she does the calculations of how long they’ll last. she can’t stop crying the day they disappear.

oh

oh man what a parallel with cat and adam with alura and kara right now–

“You tried. Sometimes all you can do is try.” “I didn’t lose. I quit.” “ Would you make a different decision if you could go back?” “I stopped asking myself that question years ago. Not being there for Adam is my greatest regret.“

alura said that she thought she saw kara going into the phantom zone, but she never looked. she was surprised to hear about clark–she didn’t look for him either. but the thing is too–i think Alura might have thought that the community needed her more, was faced with do I look for Kara and Kal-El, or do I cut my losses and help build back the community that needs me, that I know is here to support me while going through this?

If it was the other way around, if there was even just a shred of hope that her mother was alive, Kara would never stop searching. And at that time, an Alura grieving for Krypton chose Argo over Kara–just like Cat chose CatCo over Adam. And seeing Kara, seeing her alive, it’s going to be Alura’s biggest regret. Kara grew up without her, Kara lived and suffered and found joy without Alura there

There was that conversation between Cat and Adam ” I never got to put a picture that you’d drawn on the fridge. I never got to tell you stories. And I never got to teach you how not to be afraid of the world. And I never got to tell you how amazing I think you are. I never got to be your mom. But I am your biggest fan, Adam. And I’m so, so sad that I didn’t get to see you grow up”

God can Alura relate

Kara is going to be on Argo city expecting to wake up to birds chirping outside her window

but there won’t be any. she’s missed kryptonian animals and flora but she’s also missing everything she’s come to love about Earth and no matter where she goes she’s always going to be missing something. Argo has changed, but so has Kara. And she doesn’t fit in anywhere anymore.

Remember Me came on the radio and it is such a Kara song that on the way to work I legitimately started crying I’ve cried like twice in the past year

Remember me

Though I have to say goodbye

Remember me

Don’t let it make you cry

For ever if I’m far away

I hold you in my heart

I sing a secret song to you

Each night we are apart

Remember me

Though I have to travel far

Remember me

how is this not a Kara song this is Kara always this is Kara saying goodbye to her mother and father, her friends on Krypton, this is Kara saying goodbye to everyone on Argo, saying goodbye to everyone on Earth–Lena and Cat and James and Winn J'onn and Eliza, this is Kara saying goodbye to Astra, saying goodbye to Alex. There is no one place that Kara fits, she’s always forced to say goodbye to someone she loves. Kara is always torn between two worlds and this is a no win scenario.

also v specifically it is this version

Good evening Kara Zor-El would talk with her scientist father as if she were his peer when she was a kid and excitedly pour over history books, she is a certified fuckin nerd and I’m in love with her.

I just want to remind everyone that is your civic duty to jailbreak your Nintendo consoles and pirate every Nintendo property until the heat death of the universe.

fun fact: Boston Museum of Science calls their evening lecture series “SubSpace”, which would be a totally innocuous math term except for the fact that, to make sure you know these lectures are higher-level and not aimed at their usual audience (kids), they chose to subtitle it “SubSpace: Adult Experiences”
