Other’s First Impression of Them: Laid back, almost lazy, easygoing, unnervingly observant despite being sightless, a little playful, very easy to talk to
General Likes: salty foods, sleep, Roq, listening to music or general hub of people, soft things, tripping people up with accurate observations using her Force Sight
General Dislikes: The Senate, Certain other Jedi (cough, krell, cough mundi), In-fighting in the Temple (more work for her), people poking too deep into her personal buisness, people talking shit about her former Master, people thinking that she’s useless because of her blindness, animal abuse

Fun Fact: It’s a horrible habbit, but she will drink anything that Syo or Ashe put down in front of her. Syo likes giving her random drinks when they’re all at 79s to see what her reaction will be. They’ve learned that she really hates anything that Thire drinks about sixty percent of the time.
Free Space/Ramble: She states that if she could she would like to write more, but as it’s very difficult for her to see text on a screen with her Force Sight, she has since given up on the idea. Sometimes though, Ashe writes down what she says while talking about story ideas with the rest of the Guard
Tagging! @crc-the11tailed @crclocalunhingedsith @hotshot9 @kkrazy256
and anyone else who wants to

Supergirl is a shitshow
supergirl season 1 was amazing that is a fact, ti had amazing relationships between female characters it had great background character s and story lines that did not completely revolve around a guy *mon-el*
Season 2 though that was when it started to fall apart, first they broke up a healthy interracial couple *Karolsen* they had built it up during season 1 and even though it did have its problems it was always handled in a healthy manor rather than the way they shower romance in season 2 when Monn-el would get mad and then get forgiven with out working through the issue completely he would promise to listen to her and then proceed to act the same as he had before
Season 2 started out by introducing to us some great characters like Lena luthor and a few episodes later Maggie Sawyer but neither of those characters got the true focus Kara was, that was until they had Mon-el wake up then he became the focus of the episode he became the focus of the season rather than having it focus on Kara’s character growth we were forced to watch mon-el’s character growth, There was no real growth in Kara that season.
It became Kara’s job to make Mon-el a decent person, she made him change while dating him, while a better course of action would have been for him to be a good person before dating her. Even the episodes like medusa and others that had been set up to focus on Lena and Kara’s parents and their hand in the virus it ended up focusing on mon-el at the end
We saw an unnecessary amount of screen time taken up by Mon-el even in episodes that were supposed to have more Sanvers Mon-el and Kara too up that time, they chose to use sanvers as a way to prop up Karamel rather than to have it bee an amazing lgbt ship that did not need to be compared to the straight ship on the show
Everyone seemed to forget that the hero of the show was Kara, it became the Mon-e show even at the end when they sent him off it ended not talking about friendship or Kara’s growth or her becoming a better hero it was about how they saw mon-el as a hero and how he was everything to Kara (I;m not saying that she had no right to feel sad she completely did) they decided to end with kara alone rather than have her with family and friends in season 2 they completely forgot about w what el myrah means STRONGER TOGETHER
the whole season alienated Kara from her family and her friends it left her with very few people who were consistently with her, James and Winn were being the guardian duo and Alex was ooc forgetting about her sister and instead focusing more on her relationship ( not saying that sanvers is not important it is extremely important) Mon-el became the only person who’s opinion seemed to matter at many times , they turned the episode which should have been focused completely on the danvers sisters into having mon el be the hero make him be the one to realize Jerimiah was working with cadmus
supergirl became the mon-el show and the mon-el show was a shitshow that did not have any character growth except for Mon-els it forgot about the arcs for the other characters anad focused o karamel more than anythinig else the main plot was romance in an action show where the main plot should have been the big villain EVEN THE BIG VILLAIN WAS NOT KARA’S VILLAIN NO IT WAS MON-ELS VILLAIN it revolved around Mon-el and his importance not spergirl or any other characters
*spoilers for season 3 ep 1*
we opened on season 3 and it was 6 months after when Mon-el had left the very first seen we saw was a karamel scene and then we see alura after that the episode goes on to be about Kara missing Mon-el it focuses on how after he left she apparently lost all reason to be herself to be anything but supergirl which she said in season 1 is not who she is it is just a costume that she puts on to help people to save lives and she loves that but it is not her. EVEN WHEN HE WASN’T THERE HE WAS A FOCUS OF ATTENTION it was not focused on how the city was recovering or how their friendship had grown but it was focused on Mon-el going away

I remember how fun the scene of Sasuke introducing Mai to his Kasugayama family. But, not this:
Yuki's reactions to Shingen's flirtings never disappoint HAHAHA
I feel like I should at some point make a collection of it 🤣

AHAHAHAH
Thank you Kenshin for taking Mai's health into consideration. Bless his soul.
...then came this guy. But, yes, tea time with Shingen sounds lovely. 😉. Plus, the talk of how to treat Mai better is a yes.
You know, I especially enjoy his flirtings in others' routes 😂. Damn the cheesiness of them all, but they do leave me giggling every time.
