Imagine you are in a small, tiny closet that is literally skin tight, and you also have several bleeding knife wounds. The closet is on wheels and its mobile. You’re also very claustrophobic and experienced quite damn bit of trauma so they’re literal triggers for you.

You’re also someone who’s in public service and wired to help people. You have no idea when this will stop, and you will remain alive but barely, and the closet is the only thing keeping the knives in so they wont slide out and have you start bleeding uncontrollably until you die. It could be anywhere from a few days to a few months to a few years to forever. You cant go home or to work or even distract yourself with a meal, your choice of comfort, so all you can do is focus on the pain and the terror.

This is what happened to kara this past episode. How well do you think she was thinking when all of this happened

i keep seeing people laughing about the suit and it’s all well and good because it does look ridiculous but like…y’all realize kara is essentially on a life support machine that, if anything happens to it, say, an EMP, or a slight malfunction, really anything, she will die.

Kara, who is known to be claustrophobic, who they have established has panic attacks, is confined to a suit of armor indefinitely.

Her skin feels like it’s melting off and nails are running through her veins and she is stuck in the suit, suffering, as everyone goes along living their lives because THEY aren’t in constant agony

This is every fear Kara ever had about the dangers of Kryptonite brought to life

i think kara has the senses and the strength to move fast enough but barry’s speed force energy works differently? he does also do his own calculations with physics so i dont think we can compare barry’s super speed with kara’s

randomthingsthatilike123:

they do work differently but i mean kara does have the senses and the intellect to move fast enough but the thing is a) she’s super strong and invulnerable so along with moving that fast she’s also hitting that fast (whereas with barry like. we saw in season 1 he had to be so careful not to destroy himself in the process) and you know what she’s also hitting? the floor with her foot. Think about how you run–kara has to keep her feet as light as possible on the floor so she doesnt create craters

also, kara has to then concentrate on that, along with not accidentally getting distracted by anything her senses may tell her–she kept those glasses for 10 years not as a disguise but as a tool–they were to keep her vision in check so that she doesn’t worry about losing control and having to focus on that every single second

also bold of you to assume that Kara “youngest person entered into the science guild and I helped my father with his work and was doing Calculus in pre-school” Zor-El doesn’t do physics and a whole bunch of math such as but not limited to  (some of these aren’t explicitly said but others actually are in the Supergirl tv show comics)

a)how fast she can go without cracking concrete

b)how much force she can exert upon a moving car without completely smashing it

c) how to weld a building that was crumbling so that it would be structurally sound after she was done with it

d) how much heat she can correctly put into coffee so it doesn’t boil over like that one time

e)how hard she can step without breaking the ground

f)how fast she can fly without breaking the sound barrier

g)all the shit she needs to do to make sure civilians aren’t hurt during fights; also includes the correct way to catch people SO THEY DO NOT GET WHIPLASH. VERY IMPORTANT. PEOPLE CAN DIE KAREN.

h)all the math she needs to do to figure out distance ie how fast she needs to go to get from one point to the other/fastest route (think how airplanes go but without the worry of running into another airplane)/ HOW FAST SHE CAN GO IN NATIONAL CITY WITHOUT HURTING PEOPLE BECAUSE GUESS WHAT EVER HEARD ABOUT WHY YOU SHOULDN’T GET NEAR AN AIRPLANE ENGINE IT’LL SUCK YOU IN NOW IMAGINE THAT BUT WORSE WITH KARA’S FLYING AND SENDING EVERYTHING SCATTERING EVERYWHERE

i and most importantly)how much pressure she can give for ultimate hug

ALL OF THIS HAPPENS WITH ONLY SECONDS TO CALCULATE WHILE ALSO DOING CONVERSIONS SINCE THIS ISN’T HOW SHE LEARNED MATH SO SHE HAS TO CONVERT EVERYTHING INTO EARTH TERMS
