tw: mentions of violence
it’s a knock on the door that wakes lucy. the knock is soft, it’s gentle, the person on the other side of the door seems aware of just how exhausted lucy is likely to be at this hour.
“come in.” lucy says, her voice hoarse and thick with sleep.
she sits up, a paper from lucy’s most recent report sticks to her cheek and lucy only just manages to pull it off before the door is swinging open. into lucy’s office steps maggie, who’s got a blanket folded over one arm, and a what looks like a bag of food in the other. maggie takes a glance at kara, who’s fast asleep on lucy’s couch, and then,
“sorry,” she says quietly, taking a look at lucy as she walks over “were you sleeping?”
“was it that obvious?” lucy asks, and she’s standing, seeking the comfort of maggie’s embrace “i didn’t even realise i fell asleep.”
maggie smooths lucy’s hair “i’m not surprised.” she says, her voice a low whisper “it’s nearly four in the morning.”
“shit.” lucy says quietly “i- they wouldn’t let me in alex’s room.”

Okay, but how scared do you think Eliza was, after Alex left the second time to go help Hank and Kara with Livewire? Right after she’d decided to tell Alex about what happened to Jeremiah.
And all she could do was sit in the dark and wait. And wonder if her daughter was coming back.
Look, I’m not saying anything she said to Alex was right, or good—but look at the words she used with Alex when…
total crack prompt but could we get drunk!In-ze twins? I feel like Alura and Astra would be pretty hilarious when drunk. Plus, that alien bar has to be good for something lol
Okay, so this isn’t crack – it’s only vaguely funny and kind of went out on a vaguely angsty tangent, but here you go anyway!

“Why did I do this with you?”
Astra slides another shot of some kind of alien alcohol across
to her in answer. “Because, sister, you wanted a break from human law school
and going out with your human friends to get drunk isn’t feasible.”Alura groans, leaning sideways onto her sister’s shoulder. “I
don’t like being drunk, it makes me think of lots of things I wouldn’t.”“That’s what being drunk is,”
Astra replies, patting Alura’s head gently. “Did you get all your essays done,
before you came?”“Yes,” Alura reaches for the shot glass at the reminder,
wanting to completely forget the nightmare that were her essays. Downing the
fiery liquid, Alura struggles not to cough, accepting the citrus piece that
Astra offers, still leaning on her. “I miss Lucy.”“Oh?” Astra queries, sounding like it amuses her, “Do you
really? What do you miss about your wife, Alura?”“Her hair. Her smile,” Alura sighs, moping, “She makes me scrambled
eggs in the morning and I haven’t been able to make them the same way.”“You might have the milk to egg ratio wrong,” M’gann offers
as Astra motions for the bottle, watching as she pours more shots for them
both. “Or the temperature might be wrong. Oil makes a pan hotter.”“We make eggs in the microwave machine,” Alura meets eyes
with the Martian, not expecting the horrified expression. “What is it?”“Eggs in the microwave?
What kind of heathen is your wife?” M’gann demands, wrinkling her nose. “You
make scrambled eggs on a pan with bacon-”“We don’t eat meat,” Astra interrupts, “Unlike my sacrilegious
niece.”“The point remains: you make any type of eggs in a pan,” M’gann
moves away to answer some other patron’s demands, Alura frowning.“Why does Kara eat
meat?”“She was raised that way,” Astra replies magnanimously,
pushing a shot to Alura when – predictably – her sister’s mood sours as a
result. “Apologies. This is supposed to be a night of fun and relaxation.”“Instead, we talk about the wrong way to make scrambled eggs
and how Kara was raised into eating animals.”Astra clinks a shot glass against Alura’s. “To dreadful conversation.”
Alura snorts, “To dreadful conversation.”

Representation matters
Danvers Sisters: punch! :D if you don’t mind of course!
“Where are we going?”
Alex stumbles over a rock; Kara smashes the same rock under foot as she follows close behind.
“You’ll find out,” Alex whispers. The dark of the night lends itself nicely to secrecy and the need for quiet. She can barely see where she’s going, but the path is straight.
When they reach their destination, Kara cocks an eyebrow. “The junkyard? Really?”
Alex hushes her. “Well, yeah, but it’s what’s here that’s important, not the junkyard itself.”
She guides Kara to an abandoned minivan. The rear window features family stickers–a man, a woman, two children, and a cat–all faded by sunlight and age. The back tail lights have been busted, and there’s a large dent in the left side. Alex gestures to it as if she’s found the missing link.
“Um…” Kara tries not to sound too disappointed. She doesn’t quite succeed.
Alex drags her closer. “Kar, mom and dad are always getting on your case about how hard you use things.” She alters her voice to mock their parents, “Kara! Don’t grab that so hard!”
Kara stares at the ground, her cheeks red. “I’m trying…”
“They just keep telling you softer, softer! But I got to thinking that it doesn’t help after something is totally broken because you can’t exactly try again. Right? So, I want you to touch this car a lot. It’s already destroyed, so you can’t make it worse.”
“Why?”
“You can get a better idea of what kind of strength you need for things. Like opening a door or putting on a seatbelt. Hell, go ahead and punch it so you can see how much strength you need to hit like a human.”
Alex doesn’t expect the first blow of the evening to be an attack on her. Kara leaps at her, wrapping her up in a hug that’s amazingly not too tight. She rubs Kara’s back and shoves her toward the car.
fucking christ I am sobbing
“If the men find out we can shapeshift, they’re going to tell the church!“
i didnt learn anything about contouring but that’s okay
Do yourself a favour and watch this. I am sobbing with laughter at one a clock in the morning, i literally had to stop the video because I couldn’t see through my tears of mirth.
PRESS PLAY.
IF YOU DO NOT WATCH THIS
YOU ARE MISSING OUT
i still have no idea how to fuckin contour but there are much more important things for this person to teach you
That was fucking hilarious! Half laughing, half coughing because I’m trying to catch my breath since I’m trying to catch my breath because laughing while having the flu is hard y’all.
P.S. – no contouring help in this video. It’s just pure entertainment.
This video is the most compelling reason for me to ever actually attempt makeup
Her “how to be a Leo” and other astrology videos are also hilarious!

oh, you think it’s not love because we are only friends? you think this isn’t love? do i not miss her when she’s gone. is her smile not the thing that makes me happy. do we not sit in silence together comfortably. are we both not weird and honest and joyful with each other. am i not proud of her as if she was my blood. right now she’s on vacation and seeing her glowing with the sun makes me so happy for her. i’m sorry if you don’t have something like that; a trust that’s bone-deep, a knowing that you can go for days without speaking and still pick up the place you left off. knowing if you said “help” she’d come running as fast as the wind. but it’s love, you know. found family always is.
