Supercorp head canon: Lena Luthor hates kale. It’s the literal worst. She just…hates heart disease and high cholesterol more. Which run in her family on both sides. And Lionel was diabetic. Lex was pre-diabetic but wouldn’t do anything about it. So Lena just eats super clean, gets her steps in, does three sessions of zone three cardio a week, and resistance trains.

Initially, Kara thinks these are all attributes of her CEO type-A lovable neuroses. Until Lena is waiting for her annual bloodwork…and has a panic attack. And makes a kale smoothie.

And that night Lena explains that Kara is actually correct, kale is vile but it’s a good source of fiber. And she went through a phase where she ate an unhealthy amount of raw spinach. Lena explains that her family has bad metabolic genetics. And Kara is just like:

So the kale will help you live longer?

And Lena half shrugs, nods, hopefully?

Suddenly, a change occurs. Kara Danvers cannot get enough kale. Have you ever had an air fried pot sticker? Kara just ate fifteen. And she had a side of bok choy.

Lena kind of can’t belive it. Because sure eating super healthy is something she prioritizes, but it’s a downer when no one else around her is doing it? Like Alex and Kelly eat healthy…but it’s not extreme. Nia sometimes makes questionable choices in energy drinks but generally Lena thinks she has a balanced diet. Kara eats as though she auditioning for the role of human dumpster in Dumpster Fire the Musical.

Until suddenly, Kara doesn’t. Suddenly when the super friends go out to eat and Lena gets a goat cheese salad, Kara gets one too. Kara always sees if they can add chicken though. Kara likes to make soups and that winter they eat hearty stews and delicious curries. And one day it just—Lena has to ask.

“Kara why are you eating like—?”

“Like you?” Kara says setting down the last plate she was drying. She walks over and lifts Lena onto the counter. So she can stand between her legs. “Because I like you?” She pecks Lena’s cheek. “I want you around forever. And if eating this way is going to help, you bet your bucket, I’m eating kale with every meal.”

Lena blushes.

“Not every meal.”

“No.” Kara says crinkling up her nose. “I also read in one of those books? About like marriage and family life.” Lena’s eyebrows go up. “You know books about how to be married and like raise kids?” Lena did know..:but not that Kara was reading that. “I just figure it will be easier to teach good nutrition habits to our children if you and I are on the same page about nutrition values now.”

Which is , great, but Lena is surprised to know Kara Danvers is planning to raise apparently multiple children with her, when last time she checked they were still platonic best friends.

“Kara, are we dating?” Lena asks.

“No, I don’t think so. Not yet. Soon though,” and then the Kryptonian turns around to finish putting away silverware.

“Would you want to go out on a date?”

“Yeah. I’m not picky. I mean,” here Kara gestures to Lena’s penthouse where Kara does basically live. “On Krypton…like we’d be considered married already. So um, I’m good with whatever. Dating first? Just straight to a wedding. Or even just filing a marriage certificate.” Lena is still on the counter, and it feels like the whole world has vanished from under her perch.

“You would marry me tomorrow?”

“Culturally, Lena, I married you ages ago. And I should have said something. It’s okay if you don’t want this. I will get my stuff out of here tonight, but—“ Lena leapt into Kara’s surprised arms. They kissed, twirling in the kitchen.

Supercorp head canon: Lena does not grocery shop. Lena Luthor actually, is not entirely sure how grocery shopping works. In theory? Yes…but like she has never done it. Which is a fact she just keeps to herself. Once when Ruby was a five, Sam asked if she could pick up more milk on her way over…and Lena completely gave a group of teenagers a one hundred dollar bill, with the provision if they brought her a gallon of 2% milk they could keep the change. (She heard one of the teens ask if they should call someone for that nice lady?)

Kara meanwhile loves food shopping. It was one of the first Earth activities she really figured out and loved. And not like in a “she gets whatever she likes way.” No, she loves budgeting, comparing price per ounce, stuff like that. It’s one of the few times the Danvers didn’t mind her doing complex math in public. So yeah, on Sunday morning? Kara treats herself, buys a lil drink, and goes shopping.

And when she starts dating Lena, she assumes it would be utterly normal to invite her girlfriend to come. Except, apparently it is not. Lena cannot handle the grocery store. She is so confused. For instance, Kara mentions having brought coupons and Lena smiles in a way that suggests…Kara may have momentarily spoken Romanian. Finally, beside the dairy fridge, Kara asks: have you ever done this before?

And Lena Luthor must admit: no. No. The Luthor said food shopping is a staff activity.

Kara raised her eyebrows. A staff activity? She asked.

Yeah, Lena said, like cleaning the bath tub…or walking the lizard.

Kara readily does believe she wants to marry Lena one day, but there are moments she forgets Lena grew up around unfathomable wealth and status. She starts to get on her middle class high horse…until she remembers Lena was really just raised in a family that occupied the Earth equivalent space of the house of El. And so Kara slowly dismounts her high horse. Turns to her girlfriend, and begins to calmly explain how one should and should not grocery shop.

At the end of the trip, Kara suggests Lena select a candy bar from the shelf at the checkstand. And Lena gets so giddy, Kara’s heart melts.

If the reboot goes ahead, and SMG plays an older, wiser Buffy who shows up a few times to give advice and encouragement to the new Buffy (named after her, of course), I hope they keep her romantic life as vague as possible. The original Buffy didn't want to know too much (if anything) about Giles' dating history, or her own mother's, and why should the new one?

I hope the most we get about the last twenty years of our Buffy's life are some scattered hints that she's in a long-term relationship with somebody who used to be a vampire -- "a vampire with a soul?" the show's new Buffy can scoff -- but who became human again "decades ago" after fulfilling the terms of an ancient prophecy. I hope they have the original Buffy let slip that she met her partner when she was a high school student, but it took her a while to realize that they were the one. That they used to be evil but have since reformed and help her fight against evil and save the world. That they're the most important person in her life after her sister and her nieces. I hope the Bangel and Spuffy fans spend hours refighting old wars about which character Buffy is "meant to be with", both convinced that the show is building up a cameo by their preferred (now older and in-universe human) leading man.

I hope that, in the last episode of the first season of the new show, our Buffy's phone rings during a key bit of exposition -- in the library, ideally, because it won't be Buffy without one of those -- and she apologizes, saying that she has to take it because "that's my wife". I hope as she walks out of shot, phone in hand, we see her smile and we hear her say "hey, Harmony". And I hope the show never, ever expands on any of that again.

Republicans wrote laws in the House, Republicans in the Senate approved.

Trump is not in office.

There is no executive order.

Yet everything changed and changed back.

This is a performance.

EVERYTHING Trump does is transactional.

Trump personally benefitted. 100%. 1000%

Fic writers: have you ever studied writing as a craft (formally or not) or do you just do your thing?
