We are not inconsiderate because we assert our wants and needs.
We are real.
Our feelings are real.
Our pain is real.
We deserve to be recognized.
We deserve to be heard.
And, in case you were wondering, certified Badass, Brave, Powerful humans Alex Danvers, Maggie Sawyer, Lena Luthor, and Kara Zor-El Danvers all approve this message.
So who’s going to tell Alura that Kara was in the phantom zone for 24 years and that she wasn’t able to take care of Kal-El and that Astra is now dead and also tried to kill Kara and Kara knows what Myriad is also that Kara didn’t go into science or law but journalism and has a sister now
1.) Confusion turned pure joy at the family reunited, hugs and face touching and “you’re so big, look at you!”
2.) Excited talking that has some small clashes, Alura is a lot more dry than Kara remembers, Kara isn’t as amendable as an adult. Kara speaks in a mix of Kryptonian and English because there are some words her childhood language didn’t teach her, alura remarks that Kara has lost some of her accent
3.) Mon-El says something and Alura snaps at a Daxamite interjecting when two Kryptonians speak. Kara remembers then the elitism and classism of her people. Tries to push through it, still riding that endorphin high but the creeping dread approaches.
4.) Kara mentions her sister without thinking, Alura says she doesn’t have a sister. Kara tells her about the Danvers and it’s a mix of happiness at someone caring for her baby and sadness that she didn’t get to be there for the majority of her life.
5.) both make cultural references the other doesn’t get, jokes that don’t translate. Awkward silence in the face of this person you love so deeply but do not recognize.
6.) a level of scepticism neither can shake, because is this REALLY their lost loved one? Or is it a trick? How can they ever know for sure?
Refined my Supergirl Kryptonian inspired suit design that I originally drew back in November! And because I can, I gave it a glow in the dark option lol
every time Kara hugs someone I remember two things: the fact that her life was indescribably changed when she lingered one last moment for a hug with her mother (because Clark was just seconds before her–if she didn’t stop she wouldn’t have ended up in the phantom zone. The course of Kara’s entire life was decided with a hug) and her conversation with the AI “Anything you would ask of Alura you can ask of me” “I’d ask for a hug.” Kara knows what it means for a hug to be the very last and just have you ever looked at how kara hugs? kara always hugs people with her entire body, wrapping her arms around them and pressing them as close as she dares without hurting them kara Loves hugs i love her so much
