Can I tell you a secret? You don’t have to be in a relationship. 
 
I mean it. I know they force it down your throat until you choke on it. Girls aren’t pretty unless they’re wanted. Boys aren’t men unless they’re having sex with someone. People aren’t lovable until they’re dating someone. 
 
But a relationship won’t always make you happy, and as wonderful as romance is, it isn’t the only love that exists. I have seen friendships that are deeper and more pure than couples who swear it’s forever – and yet the friendship is the one people ignore. 
 
I have heard so often “nobody loves me” out of the mouths of people who are single. And it kills me because if you ask them: where are your parents, your teachers, your classmates, your pets – they say, yes, okay, but it doesn’t count. Of course it counts, love doesn’t diminish just because someone doesn’t want to have sex with you. In fact, doesn’t it sort of make that love more real that they want nothing – not even a date – out of you?
 
It is pretty to be in love. It’s magical, I’m sure. But it’s also wonderful to stop for ice cream in your prom dress with six other girls. It’s also wonderful to go visit the world with nothing but a bunch of buddies who are really excited about learning. 
 
The problem is: we’ve made everything about “the one”. But maybe “the one” is just you, loving yourself, having fun, and being happy. Maybe instead of looking for our other halves, we should be piecing ourselves together.
 
Maybe I wasn’t born unfinished. Maybe I am the one who makes myself better.

what if it wasn’t clark who found kara when she crash landed on earth?

what if clark was so used to hearing the crashing of space craft onto the planet that he long ago stopped checking for the cousin he was supposed to have. so, what if kara crashes into a field outside of a tiny town called blue springs, nebraska. what if the first person she meets on planet earth is not her cousin, nor jeremiah danvers or his daughter or his wife. what if kara stumbled from a cornfield and scared the ever-living shit out of a bruised and freezing fourteen-year-old maggie sawyer?

want a ton of kalex prompts?

kalex-week-2018:

The Femslash Kinkmeme just wrapped up the prompting period for this years kinkmeme. The Kara/Alex pairing (and Arrowverse in general) has been pretty well-represented for the past couple of years. If there’s anyone out there who’s hit a dry spell and wants a challenge, there’s a huge variety of prompts (for a lot of different pairings, too, if you’re interested).

It’s a pretty manual process to get all of these prompts into one place, and with the way the event is structured–prompts and fills are both attached to the meme’s Dreamwidth page–people don’t necessarily know they’re even there.

SO, I got real bored and put together a linked page of all the Kara/Alex prompts (to the best of my ability) covering all prompts for this pairing from years
2015-2018. 

That page is here.

INCIDENTALLY, you can ALSO continue to fill prompts from past years. There’s no expiration date. So, if you don’t like what’s in this year’s meme, hit the tag for the year prior to that, or the one before that. All of the prompts should be linked to the prompt-comment on the kinkmeme’s Dreamwidth, so if you write something and decide to post it, you should be able to click on the prompt text and go right to the prompt. (If any don’t work, just let me know.)

(WARNING: The Femslash Kinkmeme is, very definitely, a kinkmeme, and prompts can and do include things like incest, and non-con, and just about any other squick or trigger you might think of, between all the different fandoms represented. Pairings are smooshed together in the prompt lists. You may see NOTPs. Unfortunately, that’s just one of the limitations of the format and the level of manual work involved. Prompts are compiled by volunteers, linked with URLs, and put all in the same place for convenient access by fans and fic writers. They do an incredible job with the tools they have, but you will need to be aware of what you might see, and able to curate your experience accordingly.)

(And, yes, the other tags in the sidebar do mean that I at least intend to add in prompts from other memes and not just kinkmemes or smut. I know not everyone is into the smut, or the kink, but the timing for the event was, well, what it was.)
