pls do ramble about kara’s relationship with kryptonite?? if you want ofc!! love your writing!!! 💞

Yayyy I love an excuse to ramble 👀❤️

I think Kara’s relationship with kryptonite, Earth, and her powers kind of go hand in hand, so I’ll start there.

Season 1 Kara is optimistic. She’s repressed her powers and buried her trauma for over a decade at this point - but now she feels like she’s finally able to embrace some purpose in her heritage, and it’s initially exhilarating.

She has no inherent distrust of people who hold kryptonite - in fact, she didn’t even know it existed until the DEO shot her out of the sky with it. She learns soon after that her cousin has a problem with the DEO because of it, but she seems to sort of understand the need, and she trusts Alex - and through her, the DEO - to strive to do the right thing. (Naive? Yes. But that's where she is.)

Kryptonite weakens her and hurts her, so she has to be aware of it. But it doesn't carry emotional weight as she fights her villain-of-the-week Fort Rozz escapees.

However, by the time season 3 starts - when the rift starts - Kara is far more weathered. She’s survived not only one, but two attacks by armies of supers (both of which are relevant to her history off of Earth).

I think her mindset has shifted a lot at this point. Because now she’s faced villains who could actually destroy her - she’s no longer just doing little acts of good. She’s also fighting to keep her planet from being destroyed (again).

I think she’s a little more desperate, internalizing that she’s not actually indestructible, while carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.

Then this happens. Kara takes the most brutal beating in the entire show when Reign shows up, sending her into a coma where she has to fight through her fears. She’s more terrified than she’s ever been - both of dying, and what her defeat would mean for the Earth.

This is not a great mental place for her to learn that her best friend had kryptonite without telling her. This is not a great place for her to learn that her best friend has used kryptonite to keep another close friend trapped in a lab.

Lena did nothing wrong here, to be clear!

But all of Kara’s fears are coming to a head at this point, and she’s feeling a loss of trust (even if that’s irrational). I see Kara’s kneejerk reaction as being driven by pain and trauma, imagining how the world would fare without her if she were trapped in a basement (or killed).

She needs to know who has kryptonite, and why. Anything else is a threat that might not only kill her, but damn her planet… again.

When I wrote Plummet (which I assume prompted this ask), I figured the ending might strike some people as odd. But it makes sense to me.

First, Kara doesn’t have the wariness towards kryptonite on an existential level in mid-season-1. She’s worried about Non’s army, but she doesn’t know how bad it’s going to get yet. We’re still a few episodes away from her going on a suicide mission to save Earth.

Second, Kara still has that knowledge that this is someone she trusts that she’s giving kryptonite to. If Cat had gone off and acquired kryptonite on her own, I think that would scare Kara at this point (but not as badly as in season 3). But that’s not what happened here.

But most importantly to me, I think Falling falls short on its ending. Kara launched Cat over her balcony. Cat had a very real fear that she was going to die. This is the same Kara who was shown to be so thoughtful at the beginning of the episode (and the series in general), who broke down sobbing over Alex’s broken wrist at the end. It just doesn’t make sense to me that Kara would be so cavalier about Cat’s feelings in approaching her again (or never even bother to apologize!).

I think it’s more likely that the writers simply didn’t think this through, rather than the writers intentionally making Kara an ass. So I tried to fix it, while remaining canon-compliant.

Thanks for the ask!!

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers! Spread the self-love 💞

oh this is so hard, i have a special place in my heart for every fic ive written...but ill try to narrow it down to published works so far!!

"you and me" - supercorp/supergirl. the first baby fic i ever posted, i literally get nostalgic thinking about it. no matter how much time passes i'll always have a soft spot for kara & lena & baby mike <3

"all i ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you" - wildmoore/batwoman. this fic is a love letter to ryan wilder and sophie moore and the two of them finding each other - i tried to make a dreamy kind of atmosphere and honestly, the love story is one of the fave i've ever written !!

"mutually assured destruction" - babitha/gotham. im the singular audience for this fic but it's something i have enjoyed writing so so much... i started it as a challenge to myself and i HAD to let it leave the drafts (99% of explicit fics i write do not, so this is saying something)

"1,370,911" - supercorp/supergirl. writing this fic felt like a fever dream to me bc soulmate AUs are so interesting but i never thought i'd take a crack at my own! i ended up so happy w/the result & this universe is one of my favorites. (plus, making the playlist singlehandedly ignited a deep love of making more and more fic playlists)

"and if you leave the light on (then i'll leave the light on)" - supercorp/supergirl. i literally worked on this for almost 4 years and it has a big piece of my heart, okay! finding the balance between humor and found family and overall love was such a journey i wouldn't trade for the world. i only hope it makes people feel the same way it made me feel 💕

it’s very hetnormative of you to assume a beautiful woman must have a boyfriend. where’s the lesbianlenas we know? who thinks women are lesbian for literally no reason cough lena luthor cough kara danvers cough linda lee cough wednesday adams. it’s your brand to assume all women like women only

ok none of that is for no reason my entire blog is dedicated to why they are lesbians ok 😭 there are MANY reasons. & i WOULD just assume she was a lesbian for my own agenda and my daydreaming & pining purposes but i am plagued by the fact that i don’t remember if she said she had a bf or not 😭 i didn’t notice how attractive she was then ok on thursday as i was escaping to watch the bb finale she was coming back from the bathroom and we walked past each other and she smiled at me ok i was like on fucking god? i mean i was realizing it before then but like in that moment the lesbianism got to me u know? i wasn’t paying attention when she was talking that other time i am plagued do u understand? it’s not even that deep i’m just being dramatic but i’m like going to hypnotize myself to resurface the memory or smth i have to know if i can pine in peace…..actually nvm you’re right it doesn’t matter i’m just going to pretend she’s a lesbian and live in my little fantasy world in my head where we slow burn fall in love w each other you’re so right 💞 anything is possible in my brain and on my tumblr blog 😌💞

Worshipping Lena with Kara like she deserves 😌 Lena having two devoted pets so she’s never alone and always had someone to service her 💛 Kara having so much stamina that when you’ve both sated Lena Kara gets to ruin you too ☺️

ur her emotional support pets fr 💞 lena loveeessss watching kara ruin you after she’s gotten her fill

Idk how tumblr works so I couldn’t figure out how to respond to the original post lol but I’m the person who said the thing about the Danvers sisters and I was just going to say yes it’s the same one with the friendship between Kara and Lena! And yeah I feel like you would enjoy the show if you’re ever bored and need something to watch 😊but no pressure of course to ever write for it, just a good tv show recommendation :)

No worries!!! 💖💖💖 If you want to reply to the original post, then you can click that button at the bottom of the post where it says notes, and then it should pop up with a text box to reply to the post 😊 But if you're more comfortable coming in anonymously, definitely do that 💗💗💗 I just wanted to let you know about how to comment on a post in case you ever wanted to or needed to in the future 🥰

And that's cool that it's the same show with Lena Luthor! I thought it was, but I didn't want to be running my mouth and saying something completely out of school 😂😂😂 I used to actually be into DC a lot! However, it was mostly Batman back when I was in it, and I was a terrible writer back then 😅

If I get a chance, I'll have to give Supergirl a watch! It sounds like my kind of thing! 😁💞

Kara and Lena went through a lot good and bad times together and their relationship has been tested you remember the time when Lena use kryptonite against Kara almost killed her how Kara trust Lena against after that's if the villain's come after them they protect each other's no matter what. 💞👏🫂

[coffeeshib]

"Live slug reaction" but it's Kara everytime she sneaks a peek at Lena's booba and it's labelled "live beef reaction" (hope you're having a great day!)

6x03 thoughts head empty:

KARA LOOKS SO GOOD. I have to take a moment.

“Yesterday”?? So not even 24 hours have passed?

Okay, I guess it’s very important for us to know the PZ is cold for some reason.

Dansen😭😭They’re so soft and loving stopp💞😭

LENA. THE OUTFIT AND EYE MAKEUP AND HER JUST HER.

Wow. Okay. I’m realizing I have to make an extra effort to keep up with what is being said and not just blankly stare at Lena at her desk in jeans and just. Wow.

I find it extremely disrespectful to show us Danvers sisters throwbacks without any kind of warning first TT-TT

And they were roommates.

I genuinely let out a laugh out loud at Brainy just walking ‘into’ Lena’s office. Oh there you go, “I’m at your service”. Same Brainy, same. Oh these two. Imagine if we had this friendship from earlier on🥲

See that’s the thing with this show. It comes up with good ideas like having “to rid myself of my father’s shackles” and then proceeds to ruin the moment by explicitly stating what you already thought of and had liked with a “both metaphorical and physical”. *face palm*

Holy shit, am I really getting teary eyed watching sgcw?? And this time because of how good it actually is?? Lena and Brainy my beloveds.

I was about to comment on how cathartic that whole scene was and suddenly kapow- “ME TOO”?? LENA😭😭

Wait wait wait. Someone tell me M’gann is gonna be okay.

J’onn and Alex interacting yes please and thank you. And the whole team working together?? I’m loving this episode as much as I disliked the last one.

Oh so they *are* able to do cool stuff! Alex gearing up was awesome.

The Night King cameo. Hahahahhahahdshhsgdd

Lena just handed Lex’s ass to him, I feel ecstatic.

Alex and Kelly’s scene yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you. THANK YOU FINALLY. Summary: Kelly essentially saved everyone and Dansen are perfect for each other.

[caroldantops]

Thinkin bout Lena putting puppy ears and a collar on Kara 🥰

yea 💞💞💞 she’s her big puppy!!! she’d put her on a pretty leash too!!!

[coffeeshib]

"I think as adults with our own living spaces it's important to have your friends over periodically for a sleepover" agreed but also because i'm a ho(mo) for my otp imagine kara telling this to lena.

lena [yearning in lesbian intensifies]: oh yeah. yeah, darling. agreed :')

& kara grinning, breathing a relieved sigh, glad that lena Understands, she's one step away from bringing a new point. The Importance of Cuddling & Kissing Your Friends (Platonically)

[coffeeshib]

Your drawing of Kara "convicted wife-smoocher" Danvers and Lena "human embodiment of the 🥺 emoji" Luthor has made my whole day, broski (broffectionate). Hope you're having a wonderful day, drinking plenty of water, and having lots of pleasant gay thoughts ✊😔

[coffeeshib]

Okay but do tell about this one-shot please? I've been missing reading your words since I don't read wip either, and I can't wait to jump in on this one even though I don't even know what's about but it's from you so I know I'm going to love it!

it's post s6 canon-compliant but without lena having magic, kara coming out as sg etc. just me wanting to write sequences where they hve less worries & have more time to just..... notice & be Very Aware of each other. is basically a very tension filled oneshot
