Kara Danvers totally makes an appearance on Sesame Street as Supergirl
Kara as Supergirl, with Elmo and Grover and Big Bird (definitely with Big Bird) talking about how to deal with bullies.
Kara in her suit and and cape with that smile on her face that makes people smile back whether they meant to or not and kids trust her instantly, talking about adoptive families and getting along with your siblings. And no she can’t say who her adoptive family here on earth is, because they need to stay safe but she can talk about how much she loves them, just like she still loves her biological family even though she misses them every day. She can talk about the times it was hard fitting in with a new family and how sometimes someone might say something hurtful (and how sometimes that someone was her) but how family means talking and forgiveness and understanding and love whether you were born into it, or you found each other (and maybe she goes home that night and she and Alex don’t talk they just hug tighter than usual and Alex’ eyes are suspiciously shiny when she steals the remote).
Kara with her chin up and her shoulders squared and her voice not shaking at all (J’onn gives her a nod when she comes back to the DEO and a quiet “good job, Supergirl,” that means everything) talking about being far from home and trying to adjust to a new culture and a new language and how it hurt when people made fun of her and how they live in a big world where a lot of people have to leave their homes sometimes for very bad reasons and how sometimes all it takes is someone holding out their hand and saying “you can sit with us at lunch” to make things a little better.
Kara kissing Elmo on the top of his head and Elmo giggling, and then floating up to hug Big Bird so he doesn’t have to bend down.
Kara definitely being invited back.
Kara and Sesame Street
Reblogging again for the heartbreaking commentary. The Sesame Street episode I never knew I always needed.
I consider it canon that in the universe where Supergirl and Superman are real, the Muppets are real also, and Superman has sung ‘Rainbow Connection’ with Kermit at least twice.
I went to work for Cat Grant because I thought working in a media company run by a powerful woman who actually shapes the way people think would be the way that I could make a difference but instead I just fetch layouts and coffee. […] I’m not normal, I have the same powers he does. I can lift a bus, stop a bullet. Alex, I can fly.
This makes that scene in episode 2 even more poignant, because its not just Kara asking her big sister to have faith in her, its Kara asking the person she hurt, the one who means so much to her that she would give up everything for, to trust that she won’t make the same mistake again.
Ok but imagine someone finds out that some journalist for a gossip website is writing an article on Kara and the DEO tries but they can’t get access to it and they’re all freaking out thinking it’s a Supergirl reveal and the article comes out titled ‘Who the hell is Kara Danvers?’ And it’s got a series of photos of her with Clark Kent and Lois Lane, her following after Cat Grant and interacting with Maxwell Lord. There are pictures from her college internship working at Wayne Enterprises – including candids of her eating lunch with the elusive Bruce Wayne himself. There’s a photo from years ago when she met Diana Prince while visiting Clark. A picture of her and Lena Luthor sitting close, leaning in to each other and whispering. There are excerpts of her quotes from supergirl, someone she seems to know personally.
At no point does the article mention her possibly being supergirl. It only talks about how this seemingly plain, average 20-something from a coastal small town is somehow connected to many of the most powerful and influential people from coast to coast. And thanks to the DEOs attempts to get the article before it’s published, there’s an editorial addition at the end that says after announcing plans to write on the reporter, their servers were attacked and nearly hacked in to in an attempt to stop its publication.
“So I ask you,” the article ends, “who exactly is this Kara Danvers?”
i love this and i want More
Someone fic this please.
Who the Hell is Kara Danvers?
If you visit Kara Danvers’ personal social media profiles, you’ll mostly find cat videos, pictures of lovingly crafted lattes from Noonan’s cafe, and selfies with her sister, Alex, captioned with a hashtag of whatever show they were binging when they took it. You’ll learn she’s a native of Midtown, and an alumnus of National City University, with a degree in business management. You’ll learn she’s a twenty-six year old staff writer for Catco Magazine.
On her professional accounts, you’ll find links to all her writing – a small but growing body of work mainly concerned with alien rights advocacy and L Corp’s rebranding in National City and generosity – and opinionated statements on human rights. You’ll find fond comments from James Olsen, Pulitzer winning photojournalist and head of Catco Worldwide Media, Catco staff photos featuring rare smiles from editor Snapper Carr, and a selfie with the Queen of All Media herself on Cat Grant’s last day at the Catco offices. Given Kara Danvers has been a Catco employee for four years, this might be expected.
If you visit Kara Danvers’ tagged photos, you’ll find selfies and candids with world renowned journalists Lois Lane and Clark Kent. Not pictures from an official visit to a rival news outlet across the country. Personal, affectionate photos of the Kent-Lanes in their home. With Kara Danvers. You’ll find a picture, taken by Clark Kent, of United Nations ambassador Diana Prince, a long time friend of the Kent-Lanes, with an -at the time – college aged Kara Danvers, Prince giving her a friendly kiss on the cheek.
If you go deeper down this rabbit hole, into paparazzi photos, you’ll find close to a hundred unique shots of Kara Danvers with the otherwise extremely private Lena Luthor. You’ll find them in public cafes, outside theatres, and walking out of bars. Close enough to reach out and touch, frequently laughing and beaming at one another. You’ll find shots of her outside Wayne Enterprises in Gotham with enigmatic billionaire Bruce Wayne, his arm around her shoulders as they duck into a BMW with tinted windows. Shots of her at public events tailing Cat Grant, chatting casually with Maxwell Lord.
And if you read Kara Danvers’ writing, you’ll find dozens of quotes from National City’s hero, Supergirl. These quotes seem off the cuff, casual in a way no other journalist has been able to coax out of the blonde Kryptonian, who has been noted in interviews with Cat Grant, Snapper Carr, and other acclaimed journalists to be somewhat tight lipped and cautious with the press. Supergirl currently has no known contact methods for the general public, but after every crisis, she is ready with an opinion and an encouraging statement… As long as it’s Kara Danvers’ name on the byline.
And finally, when this article was announced – privately, amongst our sites editors and writers – my editors and I began to receive cryptic threats from an untraceable source. They persisted for this piece’s entire development cycle, culminating on an attack on our servers that still has our site reeling. The only reason this article survives was that, by chance, I had made a hard copy for editing the night before.
