Pale moon, Baby blue,

Are you looking at the same sky too?

Pale moon, watch me scar,

Watch me ruined, for you

I know exactly where you are but

What you’re doing, I have no clue

 

Oh my lover, is in the arms of another tonight,

I won’t recover, I will not heal with the morning light,

I will not heal, I won’t mend.

I will not heal, I won’t mend.

I will not heal, I’ll just pretend, pretend, pretend,
pretend.

Pretend.

 

Pale moon, Baby blue,

Are you looking at the same sky too?

Broken record, same old tune,

Cut my stitches, open wound,

And are you looking at the same sky too?

 

Come back to me, sweet and pure,

Come back to me, darling, leave me never more,

Come back to me, if you’re sure,

That I’m the one, the only one that you adore,

The only one that you adore,

The only one that you adore,

Tell me darling are you sure?

 

Oh my lover, is in the arms of another tonight,

I won’t recover, I will not heal with the morning light,

I will not heal, I won’t mend.

I will not heal, I won’t mend.

I will not heal, I’ll just pretend, pretend, pretend,
pretend.

 

I won’t hold a gun to your head,

I’d rather have you walk away instead,

And all is fair and love and war,

I’m just not sure which one this is any more.

 

Oh my lover, is in the arms of another tonight,

And I won’t recover, I will not heal with the morning
light,

I will not heal, I won’t mend.

I will not heal, I won’t mend.

I will not heal, I won’t mend.

Oh my lover, oh my friend,

Oh my lover, oh my friend.

((Hey, @nanocyte @queersintherain @goshdarnitjay I’m listening to all of this artist’s music and this one gave me major Kalex thoughts, so if I have to suffer, so do you all.))

THIS IS GREAT AND I AM HAPPY TO SUFFER, thanks @daxolotl!

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.)

Whats a soulmate?

It’s a.. Well, it’s like a best friend, but more.

It’s the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else.

It’s someone who makes you a better person

well, actually they
don’t make you a better person

you do that yourself– because they
inspire you.

A soulmate is someone who you carry with you forever.

It’s
the one person who knew you

and accepted you,

and believed in you 

before anyone else did or when no one else would

And no matter what
happens.. you’ll always love them.

Literally the second I saw that image set of Alex saying she’d murder anyone who hurt Kara that you reblogged, I immediately said out loud “Like you when you ditched her on Earth Birthday”….. apparently I’m still bitter about that.

of-suns-and-guns:

There is a interpretation of Alex’s characterization that suggests her murder-anyone-who-hurts-Kara mentality would remain consistent, even under that circumstance.

But that being said, and as much as I felt for Kara, I did so LOVE that particular conflict.

The relationships most vulnerable to collapse are those that don’t yet know how they’d react to conflict that calls for one or both parties to confront and resolve the issue at hand. People hurt people. It going to happen in every relationship because none of us are mind-readers and toes will get stepped on, feelings will be hurt, selfishness will flare up. The response to such a conflict is the important part.

I like that Alex messes up. That she’s not perfect, even when it comes to loving Kara. I like that they misstep and hurt each other, because then we get to watch them confront and deal with those issues. We get to watch them prove there really isn’t anything in this world they can’t overcome, nothing that can tear them apart.

Alex can embody the mentality of, “I’ll murder anyone who hurts you,” without being a hypocrite because when she’s the one hurting Kara, she recognizes it and takes those steps to genuinely find a resolution in the aftermath, and she rarely ever hurts Kara the same way twice.

Now. That being said, when people hurt Kara and don’t care about Kara’s genuine feelings enough to resolve the issue, that’s when Alex starts cracking skulls.
