I don’t mean to offend anyone, genuinely. I’m a supercorp shipper, But every time I’m trying to find a sweet or positive post about kara, I always end up saying in my head for the people replying to the posts, “For the love of peace, try for once keeping lena out of this.” Can’t I find one post about kara without it watering her down to a ship? You’re blog is the only safe place where I can both enjoy supercorp and the characters individually, thank you!

Well one, thank you, the balance has definitely one of my goals for the blog lately.

And two, I relate thoroughly.

Between Katie’s addition to the cast and her chemistry with Melissa and the mess surrounding Kara and Mon-El, there’s not much room for Kara as her own person. 

I think one of the biggest problems within the Supergirl show and the Supergirl fandom is too much emphasis on romance and not on the characters themselves and their other kinds of relationships. Or perhaps… just not enough of the other stuff along with the romance.

From my Kara-focused world, I’ve seen stuff just about her turned into a “yes, and then Lena comes in and does x, y, and z!” or “and THIS is why she doesn’t belong with Mon-El!”, just as I’ve seen stuff about Kara and Alex but Lena is always there too or Maggie is always there too. 

And as someone who loves romance but who values the strength, non-romantic relationships, and independence of characters more, it’s kind of exhausting. 

I feel like I ship a rare pair and it’s Kara x Autonomy.

As much as we complain about the show’s writers not giving Kara her own storyline apart from a love interest, as much as we complain about a lack of Danvers sisters scenes, we’re doing the same thing they are.
