I wish we saw a very quiet Kara eating her favorite meal on krypton with years running down her face she never thought she would taste it again, surrounded by her friends and family (but even still–shes emotional for another reason that almost feels like blasphemy. they aren’t as good as pot stickers. they’re her favorite and she’s been craving this for a decade and once the nostalgia and novelty goes away–they aren’t as good as pot stickers. and she doesn’t know what to do about that)

Worldkiller Alternate Arc #01
IF you really want to go with the demon idea—make the demons about powerlessness and alienation.
Make it so that it’s tied to Kara’s religion, too—to songs her mom sang to her when she was little, to the stories she heard growing up. To something she knows and has an intuitive sense of.
If Sam gets chosen by a demon in this moment of panic about her daughter? Make it the same for the other women.…
I came because I wished to see you again, Alex. To say goodbye. You have brought me much joy in my time on your Earth, Alex. You and your friends showed me strange and wonderful things.
yo whaddup I want Alura constantly hugging Alex and volunteering to help her for tiny things and smiling at her endlessly because this is the person who kept her baby girl safe, who protected her all these years
I want Alex feeling guiltier and guiltier about it until she breaks and yells “I killed your sister!”
and she expects something, maybe a flinch or a slap, but instead Alura just gives her the saddest little smile and says, “No, little one. I killed my sister. You protected yours.”
Alex (character development wise) lately has just seemed (to my non-episode-watching ass) like she’s gone with laser focus into kids/parent-everything which feels a lot like it’s happening in defiance to how and why her relationship with Maggie ended, like.. somehow if she throws herself into the mum thing now it’ll make the break up “worth” it or sth? which, in my reading of Alex and her maturity levels, is something she should be above at this point in her life. idk how do you feel about it?
Like.. filling that hole in her heart where Maggie used to be via adopting a kid just seems like the most unhealthy coping mechanism and a recipe for disaster and emotional trauma for the kid. Alex needs some gd therapy to deal with her parental neglect and her alcoholism if we wanna call it that/basically just all her bad coping mechanisms that keep her from actually coping. And then she needs a few months or a year and then some to heal from that emotional mess with Maggie and coming out.
It isn’t just Maggie, tbh.
Alex has had a big year, that involved lot of people leave her, especially now with Kara going. Maggie and Kara are the big ones, but she’s also lost any leads on finding her father (who told her she wouldn’t understand why he was working for Cadmus until she was a parent, like, hello motivation right there).
But, yeah, I could def see her latching onto getting a kid to justify leaving Maggie as part of the reasoning, or a reason for it needing to happen sooner.
And, it def isn’t a good idea for her or for any kid brought in.
At this point I ship Alex with Therapy and not much else.
True, though
It doesn’t feel real. But it is. I saw her, I listened to her voice, I touched her, I hugged her. My mom has been alive all these years, living in the city where I grew up. A lot of it’s destroyed, but most of it’s been rebuilt, and it’s exactly the same. Like, I never thought that I would smell the Dar-Essa flower again, but look, there are dozens of them.
I can’t imagine what that felt like.
It just felt like home.
So you wanna go back.
On the Design of Argo City
I was gonna make this post anyway because I’m a big ol’ nerd and get excited about stuff like this but ALSO, I’m starting to see some stuff that suggests that not everyone is digging the (to quote Emperor’s New Groove) ‘folksy, peasant look’ of Argo.
WELL FRIENDS. That’s a totally fine opinion. BUT I’M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT THIS ARGO CITY…Actually makes a great deal of sense!
A few disclaimers: Obviously, I can’t speak for the designers working on the show; maybe I’m like, way off and this is not what they were going for AT ALL. So you know. Grain of salt. Also, forgive my poor visual aids, I was too lazy to go back and screencap stuff so it’s mostly just whatever Google could turn up.
Okay. ONWARDS!

You don’t need me. You never have.
When you went away to college, we figured that out, we did that.
