#and everyone was like KARA? WITH KARA??

[richardgrimes]

so supercorp is actually endgame apparently haha. ahshahasf. hahafhdbjsdngjfd,

[natalievoncatte]

She had it. She actually had it, in her hands.

Myriad. The ultimate weapon of a dying race, brought to Earth to subjugate its people and rebuild an empire from a shattered world, possibly the key to saving this one. The key Lena needed to unlock Non Nocere and

(take over)

heal the world. End all strife. Eradicate all conflict. No more pain. No more deceit. No more greed, or cruelty, a world without malice, a peace without end.

No more lies.

It was in her hands, such a small petty little thing, barely more than a trinket.

Lena dropped it too sharply on the stainless steel lab table, took three steps, and vomited, the contents of her stomach noisily splashing at her feet. It was the effects of portal travel, she told herself- like jumping from a great height and into cold water at the same time.

(oh god what did I do)

She just needed a few moments to steady herself, collect her bearings, clean up.

(oh god oh god I hurt her what have I done)

Then, she could begin her work immediately. She shrugged out of her coat and found a bottle of vodka, hardly her weapon of choice, and took a pull straight from it to wash the

(pain away)

sour taste of her own puke out of her mouth and dull the sour churning in her stomach, because she couldn’t get the image out of her head, the image of Kara lying broken on the fortress floor with green lines of agony carved in her flawless skin and the most heartbroken look of remorse and fear in her eyes.

(Lena don’t do this)

(please don’t do this I’m SORRY)

Snatching the Myriad core from the lab table, she went to shove it into place. The final work would take only a few hours and then…

Lena stopped. Her hand hovered inches above her work. All she had to do was make the connection, but something was stopping her, as if her own arm revelled against her. She tasted puke and alcohol in her mouth and she was crying, hot tears burning down her cheeks in razor lines.

(Lena please)

No more lies.

It was heavy in her hand, the alien device suspiciously heavy and cool to her touch. Why didn’t she just do it? She was here, key in hand, ready to open the door and she couldn’t do it. Why?

Gritting her teeth, Lena took it in both hands, staring at it.

This was good. This was right. Lena had given Kara everything. Everything! Her friendship, her support, her comfort, her secret council. She killed her own brother for her and what did she get in return? Lies! Deception!

(soft hugs and kind words and powerful arms shielding her from harm and strong hands… holding her)

It had all meant nothing. It was all a lie.

Right?

It was, wasn’t it? It was! It had to be, she needed it to be! If it wasn’t, if she was wrong, then she betrayed and tortured the only person who cared about her for what? For this fucking thing?

Lena held Myriad over her head. She hadn’t even been aware she’d raised it high, ready to smash it to the ground. Bringing it down, she stared at the device and saw a stranger’s face, a distorted visage of a pale, stress-thinned woman with red-rimmed eyes.

Oh God.

The watch! There was still time. It still had the coordinates.

Lena’s hand hovered over the watch. She could push the button and erase the only way she’d ever reach the fortress again, and it would be decided. She’d make it permanent, make it real. She could finalize the destruction of the most important relationship she’d ever had. Deny Kara. Give her up.

(leave her locked in a cage of agony)

Lena pressed the button.

The portal opened behind her with a gust of wind.

She stepped through.

The first thing that hit her was the cold. She didn’t think to put her coat back on.

The second thing was a right hook from Alex Danvers that sent Lena sprawling across the floor and Myriad spinning out of her grip.

“You bitch,” Alex snarled. “I knew it. I fucking knew it. I should have put a bullet in the back of your head the first time you set foot in my town.”

Alex stood over her, boiling with fury.

“I knew it was all a lie. I knew! I know what you did. You and your little lip bites and your flirty looks and your coffee dates. Was breaking my little sister’s heart part of the plan or just a sadistic bonus?”

For once in her life, Lena was truly speechless. She stared up at her attacker, absently touching the trickle of blood from her split lip.

“I didn’t, I wouldn’t,”

“You fucking did,” Alex hissed. “How dare you come back here? Didn’t you steal enough? Was the rest of the armory too much temptation for you?”

“I couldn’t leave her,” Lena choked out.

“Alex,” a harsh voice rasped, “that’s enough.”

Kara was on her feet, clutching her side. The Kryptonite had left her pale and pallid and hunched over a little, her normally bright eyes dull.

Lena pushed herself to her feet, wobbled, and started for Kara.

“Don’t you dare,” Alex stepped between them.

“I said that’s enough,” said Kara, pushing past her.

“I’m sorry,” Lena blurted. “Oh God, I’m sorry, Kara I…”

“Shhh,” Kara whispered. “It’s okay.”

Lena’s hands seemed to move on their own, palms cupping Kara’s cheeks. God, she was cold. She was shivering. Kara was shivering. She leaned into Lena’s grasp, falling against her.

“I’m sorry,” Lena whimpered.

“It’s okay,” Kara said, gathering Lena in her arms.

“The hell it is,” Alex cut in. “Jesus Christ, she robbed the Fortress of Solitude! She hurt you, Kara!”

“I hurt her first.”

“Kara, she’s right.”

Kara shook her head.

“You can’t just forgive her!” Alex almost screamed.

Kara looked at Alex, then at Lena.

“You’re forgetting. I’m Supergirl. I can do anything.”

The tears began to flow and Lena couldn’t stop them. She collapsed into Kara’s arms and sobbed, her body shaking with exertion.

Alex bent down and picked up Myriad.

“Give me that,” said Kara.

Alex looked at her quizzically, and placed the device in Kara’s hand.

She looked at it for a moment, then looked down at Lena.

“Do it,” Lena whispered.

Without the slightest appearance of effort, Kara closed her hand and the device exploded between her fingers, circuits and alien technology clattering to the floor.

“Let’s go home,” said Kara. “I think we need to talk.”

i don’t have a clip on hand i just saw some posts about it so i went back to watch the vod- it starts at 7:01:00

tldr: basically a chatter asked how she was okay playing in a lobby with a g**omers friend- and she went off for a few minutes periodically about how they should watch his video/it was proven false and that she shouldnt be blamed for joining a lobby with a large about of streamers- one of which i’d friends with someone the chatter doesn’t like

and told them to basically leave if they didn’t like it lmaooo

like wow. what a breath of fresh air

EN: Jin Kamurai is [...] captain of Frostheim House

JP: Jin Kamurai, who has been serving as the captain of Frostheim House since this year

(From Episode 1 Chapter 30)

I saw someone in JP fandom pointed this out (the fact that Jin may not be the Frostheim captain last year) and was flabbergasted at how different the wording in the EN translation is.

Honestly it never occurred to me the possibility that Jin may not be the Frostheim captain once (considering his status y'know?), but this changes things...

I wonder if this is a mistake? Since Kaito said until last year, Jin is "the definition of a Charismatic Leader"...

I really wish we got different outfits for Connor. Markus got that sick suit and jacket he wore in the Stratford tower for about five minutes, plus his revolutionary outfit. Kara had so many outfits that slayed! Especially the one she wore at Rose’s house. Connor just gets his standard suit and his Obvious Undercover Cop fit. I wish he had a few more!

the weight of the crown

[atragicallycrispydude]

I think it's fine to dislike Strive for being a high damage, high offence gorilla game with easier combos, that's certainly not for everyone, but I'm actually going to explode if I see another person say "the power level is too high." are you for fucking real. if you're comparing it to, like, street fighter, fine, but if you compare it to XRD and say that I need you to please think critically for one single second

like, okay, fine, XRD doesn't let every character two touch you (except when it does, but it's pretty character and RISC specific) but holy fuck have you ever actually looked at that game and all the bullshit it lets you get up to

every single character in the game gets to enforce some fucked up looping okizeme except for, like... zato when he runs out of eddie gauge? sure, some of them are better than others, like Slayer's 4-way mix off of certain knockdowns, all of which lead into another 4-way mixup. you also have whatever the fuck haehyun has going on (genuinely i still can't block that shit it's fucking insane im glad she isn't very popular because of her difficulty and slowness) or johnny yrc zweihander

like. please. strive has two-touchy kaboom you explode gameplay. XRD has five-touchy you want to uninstall gameplay. stop saying the power level is too high i beg you XRD is not any less fucked up it's not a holy grail of fighting game fundamentals it's "we gave everyone insane bullshit so it balances itself out in the end" have you ever been in a venom 50 meter red glowy ball vortex or a johnny Bacchus sigh setup or gotten knocked down once vs jacko stop it stop it stop IT STOP IT

go play some XRD though. if you can get past YRC... existing, it's pretty fun and I want more people online to play with

Duality of this au by my dear dear friends @puffpawstries and @ootttteerr

[jesncin]

planning to cross-post my Conner/Superboy comics on to twidder but I figured I should flesh out his origin into a comic so the narrative is easier to follow (especially since I can't write out his story in a micro-blogging site). So that's coming up. The struggles of cross posting,,,

💕 kuroba first date outfit

OC OUTFIT DOODLE ASKS!

the place kuroba and karamatsu go on their first date to is a pretty expansive garden and requires a lot of walking so the outfit they go with is on more casual comfy side. they definitely put how comfortable it is to move in to the test after having to outrun the rest of the sextuplets trying to sabotage kara's confession plans.

( also, i envision him wearing the outfit from the 2nd anime paradise cafe collab on that date. )
