#i'm not sure if i should tag sanvers? or any of the other characters mentioned? so i'll just stick with Alex

some rambles;

I think what the supergirl writers don’t realize is that while, yes, Alex’s coming out story is important to fans, most of them don’t have an alien sister who’s out there risking her life, are part of a secret organization that deals with alien lifeforms, and have a father who was presumed dead but now is known to be alive.

So those milestones for Alex are going to look a little different.

You can’t treat Sanvers the same way you’d treat a relationship between two women on a more reality grounded show, because well, Alex’s life isn’t normal enough for that. And even then LGBT relationships, in general, aren’t all some sort of cookie cutter storyline that you can just place into every show. You have to mold them to fit the characters who they are pertaining to. 

You wanted her to spend time with Maggie? Have Maggie help out with Alex trying to find her father. Then maybe deal with all this other stuff like valentines day and all that jazz. Alex deserves to be happy but it’s not in character for her to just...forget that Jerimiah is alive? And in Cadmus?

Or jfc at least cut down on Mon El’s screentime a bit (because really why is he getting the special treatment here?) so you can have some Kara, Alex, and J’onn track down Jerimiah time. Because honestly, these three are the best part of the show. And no matter who they are romancing, these three, or at least the Danvers Sisters™, should be the focus. 

Side note: Why are Maggie, M’Gann, and Mon El all being treated so differently? They’re all love interests, yet only one seems to have a significant backstory, is still sticking around, and has a whopping amount of screentime. Learn to juggle the screentime if you’re going to give every character a love interest, k?
