You: It's blue.

Me, an intellectual: It's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean.

It’s March

[clarissakey]

I could not resist.

[clarissakey]

I think I’m gonna make a t-shirt that says “Bruno, Donna, Karen” and people be like: yeah, Mars, Summer, Harding. And I’ll be like: .......................maybe. (while thinking: it’s Latour, Haraway and Barad, you human/non-human assemblage)

....Anyone seeing some real Mirandy-ness here as well? <3

little story 

[clarissakey]

Cat Grant was here

[clarissakey]

And then this should be an alternative version, released on the same day as the original

I think this should be a movie about a triplet who got separated at birth

[clarissakey]

Has this been done yet?

[clarissakey]

Okay so either most people will probably already know this or will not care but did y’all realise that with the film adaptation of Desert Hearts Evelyn Hall becomes Vivian Bell and Ann Childs becomes Cay Rivvers and Bill becomes Darrell and Silver actually answers to Silvia while in the book no one knows her name is Silvia until the wedding. But Frances and Joyce? They stay Frances and Joyce. Like, were the people like yeah, were changin the whole story and charactizations so we need different names but we’re letting Frances become  a bitch and we don’t care about Joyce either way so they can keep theirs??? These are the questions my little lesbian heart keeps on asking.

Olympics

Kara does not like the TV screens in Cats office. Usually she is displayed on them and it makes her flimsy excuses even more unbelievable because she and Cat are still upholding this ridiculous charade. But now she likes them even less. Because Cat is sighing in a soft and slightly… gasping way. She has had her chair turned towards the screens for over an hour now and the little sounds that she makes when a particular good shot is revealed makes Kara’s stomach boil with something nasty and sharp.

‘Oh…’ Cat sounds surprised and in awe and Kara has had enough. Without thinking she walks into Cats office and produces a polite, sunny, yet little fake ‘do you want a latte, miss Grant?’

Cat turns a little, but only enough to look at Kara with a gaze that means “does your IQ get over 20”, her body remains pointed towards the screens. ‘I don’t believe I asked for one, and neither do you have one to surprise me with, so apart from reminding me of your incompetence I don’t understand what you are doing in my office.’

Kara blushes. Busted. ‘Yes. Of course miss Grant, I will leave. I just thought perhaps you would want one. And I have finished bringing the layouts to James so I have a spare minute to get you one. If you wanted it, that is.’ She lets out a nervous laugh.

Cat only grabs a few M&M’s. ‘No. I don’t. So chop chop.’ She turns her gaze back to the screens again. Kara acknowledges her attempt at… well… something, has not worked. When she is almost out the door Cat speaks up again.

‘Oh and Kiera? Contact Rio, I want a spread on feminism and sports. The way these reporters talk about female athletes is appalling.’

Kara lets out a relieved sigh. So Cat was just doing research. She wasn’t-

‘And I just know these shoulders will motivate many.’ Cat’s eyes turn a little darker while the female swimmers get ready for the 200 meter backstroke.

Drooling. Cat is drooling over female swimmers.            

‘But miss Grant these-‘ Kara starts, but Cat interrupts her.

‘You see the lines? The elegance of the way they cut through the water, the broadness of their back’ Cat continues with a far away gaze. ‘You don’t see that often. I mean Supergirl flies but…’

But what? She can do that. Hello, it’s just that she isn’t allowed to compete, Kara wants to say. She can be as speedy. She can run, she can fly, she can swim, she can wear a bathing suit and show off her shoulders like that if Cat insists on drooling over a little skin, she can- ‘I can get wet.’

Silence. Kara understands she said something wrong. Very, very wrong. She hasn’t said anything this embarrassing since George Milton had her believing raisins were dried rabbit droppings. But this, this exceeds it all. And she said it to Cat. Oh my. She is so fired.

Cat just stares at her. Her mouth slightly open and her eyes dark. Very dark. ‘You...you…’

Shit. Whoopsy daisy crappity crap. ‘I mean Supergirl. Supergirl can get, I mean, she can swim. Very good. I know so because I saw her once. Swimming.’ Kara is blushing harder than she ever has. This is so bad.

Cat seemed to have collected herself a little. Still, she takes a swig of her glass, not caring that it is empty. She swallows thickly. ‘Well, then… Contact Supergirl that she can be in the spread too.’ Cat looks imploringly.

Kara nods like she wants her head to fall off. She has been let of the hook. ‘Of course miss Grant. I see what I can-‘

‘In bikini.’

Kara gasps again. ‘Right…’

‘After all, swimming in cape is not very comfortable.’ Her eyes roam over Kara’s shoulders, and she licks her lips. ‘That’s all.’

[clarissakey]

‘What is that?’ Cat looked with raised eyebrows at her desk.

‘What? Oh, that. Nothing. I mean, just a silly gift. It’s nothing. Some prank my sister pulled on my because of my lack of love life okay shutting up now.’ Kara nervously smiled, trying to hide the outrageous mug standing pontifical on her desk. Alex had it delivered to her with a little note saying ‘Maybe it’ll spur Olsen or some other hottie on to offer some water in your embarrassing desert of a love life. X, sis’. She had blushed after opening it, which luckily to the absence of windows in her office no one saw, but had immerged herself in work shortly after as her new job as junior editor was –if possible- even more difficult than being Cat’s assistant. Which was partly because Cat still behaved like Kara was her assistant, seeking her out at least once a day to give her some meaningless task. She had all forgotten about the gift until Cat had entered her little space and immediately commented on its presence. Kara should have known this was disastrous. Nervously she tried to distract Cat away from the cheap ceramic.

“The lay-outs are ready miss Grant. They’re right…’ Kara nervously shuffled through several papers on her desk, ‘here! There you go.’ She smiled and held out the papers. A blinding Sunny Danvers smile. ‘Anything else I can do for you?’

Cat strutted towards her with the confidence and grace that revealed her name even though she abhorred any puns. But instead of accepting the lay-outs she continued until she stepped around the desk right into Kara’s personal space. With a smirk she leaned in closer and before Kara could process the whole situation –superpowers or not- she felt a soft kiss pressed to her cheek. Right near her ear. Kara was stunned.

‘Thank you, Kara. That’s all, for now.’ She heard Cats voice so close and felt her breath along her skin.

With an elegant curve Cat plucked the lay-outs from her hands and strode through the door, leaving a blushing and shocked Kara behind.

Shipcards

Okay but what about an AU in which instead of Pokemoncards there were these things called Shipcards (a mix between Pokemoncards with different strengths and Happy Families cards) and there was this special set with all the glitters and shine called ‘Queens’ featuring the Ice Queen (Miranda Priestly), The Evil Queen (Regina Mills) and The Queen of All Media (Cat Grant). And then these goofballs Andy, Emma  and Kara are obviously millenials that grow up with this right? So Andy is a fan from the first hour on. She has a neat little map where she keeps her cards. One Christmas Andy gets a package, and she gets all exhilarated when she sees glitters when she opens it but they’re pink and even though she is overjoyed with a Queencard she hoped it would be the Ice Queen instead of The Queen of All Media. Still, throughout the years she collects most of the cards, and the kids in the schoolyard are often willing to trade with her because she is honest and sweet. When everyone around her grows up Andy does too, but when Nate suggest she gives the cards away to her nephew because they dont have much space in the appartment he sleeps on the couch for two days. Kara’s first material thing on earth that she truly got attached to were the Shipcards because they looked so pretty and it helped her remember things about humans. For example the difference between a Shipcard character that got described as snarky vs a character described as snide, and it told her about approprate favourite foods to have such as lasagna instead of pancakes with apple sauce and mayonaise. The Queen set was her absolute favourite set because they truly seemed to make a difference on this planet. In fact she never grows out of it and sometimes buys a package, giddy with the prostpect of perhaps receiving a Queen this time. Winn stutters while James laughs really hard when they find her carefully opening one during her lunchbreak on a particularly challenging day with Cat being dissatisfied with everything and everyone while looking absolutely gorgeous. ‘Supergirl - again’ she mutters when she sees the first card but underneath it is one with - oh Rao- glitters! Her Kryptonian heart beats loudly only to falter slightly. Well, Ice Queen is great obviously, but perhaps she had hoped a little for The Queen of All Media. Who is now looking at her with an arched eyebrow through the Bullpen, whoops back to work it is. 

Emma never got presents from her foster families, and while she didnt really give a shit about most stuff, she longed to be like the other kids with their fancy collections Shipcards. Not that she would ever show it- she knows better than that, but how amazing would it be to have a collection of them, and get the real powerful ones. They were the coolest thing on earth. Sometimes she feels like a Shipcard herself, one that no one wants because she keeps being traded around. Handed over but never really fitting a set. She tries really hard to not let it get to her. By the time she fourteen she decides to walk away from her current foster family. It is not that they will notice anyway. And her ‘brother’ tries to hit her and hit on her and she has had enough. When she packs her stuff - a bag of clothes is all- she walks into his room, where a big pile of cards is lying on the desk. She knows exactly where it is, fourth card from above because it is a powerfull card but he thinks women are weak. Without waking him she picks the card from the stack. The dark purple glitters shine a little even with the little light that is in the room. The Evil Queen. She pockets the card on the inside of her jacket. And lives on her own from that moment on. Right? and obv. Kara and Andy will trade at some point while Emma will keep the card with her whenever and even though she and Regina fight all the time when they meet she keeps it because maybe it is embarrassing what Regina has meant to her all these years but she cant say goodbye to something that helped her find her strenght so often. But then also, imagine this: Cat personally being responsible for releasing the Supergirl Shipcard. It is a very regular card so within no time everyone has a Supergirl card which makes for a lot of autographs and she understands Cat did not want to withold Supergirl from anyone. Still, Kara thinks Cat  doesn’t care because she doesnt get a card herself. Until she finds out Cat has a personal -unreleased- design for a Shipcard of Kara. On it is the skill printed ‘+ Loved forever if combined with Cat Grant’. Miranda Priestly not caring about these cards because her Bobbseys have just been born when they are launched, and who would care for cards on which most people who are depicted wear abhorrent clothes? Until Andrea is her assistant and her girls get into this vintage collecting thing called Shipping -really, who came up with this label- and her darlings bond with Andy over all these different versions and sets. This, of course, happens initially during the deliverly of the book but soon her girls ask Andrea over for dinner and walks in the park and if she sits with them while pretending to go over the book or goes with them pretending to walk patricia, well, she cant really be blamed for picking up a few details about her assistants life and hobbies can she? Until she feels perhaps a bit irrational when she finds out Andrea has a Shipcard of a certain Mr. Thompson, which she claims “is from a long time ago“, and she takes it out on the girl. Luckily, by that time, Andrea is no longer scared of her and when she wraps Miranda in those ridicculous warm arms of her while whispering ‘you’re better than any card I’ll ever have’, well, she cant be blamed for seizing the oppertunity to kiss the girl, can she? Regina trying to get hold of all cards of the Saviour. Every. Single. Last. One. Of. Them. To destroy them of course. Until, Emma and she fight right after their first time sleeping together, because Regina is complicated and Emma doesn’t do feelings but in utter anger Emma accidentally transports herself to Regina’s Vault where there are stacks and stacks of Saviour cards. Unmarred, neatly piled, and shiney gold. And Emma cries. And kisses her over and over while murmuring ‘you kept me.’
