For the lab partner, employee trainer, stuck in the elevator ask meme, Kara Danvers, Leslie Knopw and the Thirteenth Doctor.

Alright! This is pretty easy! The Thirteenth Doctor would be perfect as a lab partner. She clearly loves science, especially practical, hands-on science, so she’d clearly get us some awesome grades. Leslie Knope might be a good employee trainer. She’s good at guiding people and at being in charge of people and I think she’d do a good job. Kara Danvers would be fun to be stuck in an elevator with for ten hours. She seems like she’d be a good conversationalist and she’d make the time pass by quickly.

That was how I felt the last time I watched S2 as well

Yeah. It’s really interesting to see how the show shifted away from characters like that after the leadership change in S3. All of the major interpersonal relationships created in S2 are terrible, and they’re set up with bad power dynamics. It’s kinda like how Cat Grant hasn’t held up well in the post-Me Too world.

I'm really confused by the Kara's open floor plan thing. What's the reasoning for it?

It took me literal hours after reading the post for it to register, but Kara’s claustrophobia. She would want an open floor plan—an open living space— because she has a history of claustrophobia.

Someone else I follow said the she enjoyed TLJ a lot more the second time she saw it than the first time. That being said, she got to see it a second time because someone bought her tickets. I don't even know if I'll have the time to see it a second time in theatre between work and other movies I want to see. My brother will be buying the tickets if we go again though.

Did you enjoy it when you first watched it? On reflection, it wasn’t that I disliked the film; like I said with the other post - i think it was because i went in wanting so much to be blown away by it that the tremendous expectations ultimately left me feeling flat...and disappointed. 

I will probably buy it when it comes out on DVD/on iTunes for those bits I want to rewatch, but I don’t think I’d be able to sit through an entire screening again.

I had never thought about Edelweiss as a Kara song and now everything sad and I’m crying. I may never be able to watch The Sound of Music without thinking this now.

look, this is way less damaging than how a friend once ruined The Sound of Music for me, so I mean it could be worse. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

I saw a video on Twitter of someone in a T-Rex outfit backflipping onto an inflatable boat thing and applauding themselves after they did it and it made me think of Kara and it made it so much funnier that way. I just wanted to thank you for that because it never would have happened if you hadn't mentioned Kara in the T-Rex outfit before.

gosh sorry i forgot about this, my b

you’re so welcome. i have nothing better to do than think about stupid shit and share it so yall can make it better

nell411 replied to your post “The Only Way to Do This Is Together”

I would read the shit out of that. I get that it won't happen but you know, just saying.

I have like 1/3 of the “Rising” story (”In a Kingdom by the Sea”) written and a giant pile of notes, so someone could probably theoretically convince me to post it for “dead fic amnesty” or something.

A lot of the impetus for it stemmed from me being utterly fed-up with some of the plot decisions in SGA, and my complete boredom with the John-and-Rodney Show.  So I tried replacing Rodney with Sam and thus giving John two female COs (and said “hah hah, fuck you no” to getting back in contact with Earth quick) and things got a lot more interesting.

[eegahisms]

ooh a tag meme! thanks for tagging me @nell411! Are you staying home from work/school?

Yep.

If you are staying home, who is there with you?

Mom and sister, and the doggos

Are you a homebody?

Haha yes. So it’s been quite nice.

An event you were looking forward to that got cancelled?

Hmm.. The Boys Like Girls concert. I was ready for the THROWBACK. Haha What movies are you watching?

No movies, surprisingly. (Wait, why aren’t video games on this list? LOL)

What shows are you watching?

Been catching up on Westworld S3! Hoo boy it’s real wild.

What are you reading?

A whole bunch of books that have been on my shelf for ages. I think I’ve gone through 5 so far? The stand-out was The Genius Plague by David Walton. It’s a bio-spy thriller, if I can call it that, where a fungus tries to take over the world by infecting people. Currently reading The Black Count by Tom Reiss, which is kind of outside my regular fantasy comfort zone, but it’s a good non-fiction historical biography of Alexandre Dumas’ dad.

What are you doing for self care?

ANIMAL CROSSING! Hahaha fishing and gardening virtually is incredibly therapeutic. Also a good amount of Overwatch and baking.

Tagging @kairistwin @anevolutionarymatter @colaismywater if you’re feeling up to it!

Yes, I furloughed myself zero income lol / crying

If you are staying home, who is there with you?

No comment

Are you a homebody?

Yes

An event you were looking forward to that got cancelled?

I don’t look forward to anything None

What movies are you watching? 

None, I should probably watch Lord of the Rings (Extended Edition)

What shows are you watching?

HBO is streaming some series for free! I binged The Wire. I enjoyed it but Season 5 sucked -- I had to skip some episodes. And I hated McNulty the whole time. I’m now back to Naruto Shippuden. And I have to say the season finale of My Hero Academia was amazing! I love Endeavor like I love Vegeta.

What are you reading?

Fanfic per us~ I do have a library book -- a text book -- that I probably should get around to.

What are you doing for self care?

Nothing so far

I love this. Especially the part where Lucy Lane comes back

That’s the best part! :D

I miss Lucy Lane. :(

[thatsjustsupergirl]

I will fully admit that I ship Supercorp, but I am so here for James/Lena it's not even funny. Their whole initial setup was like something out of a rom/com and I love it. Lena's gonna climb him like I tree and I can't wait :D. Also those two humans are so pretty it made this bisexual very happy.

Bahahahaha, do you know how many people I watch the show with have used that phrase in the past several days? XD

Honestly, this opens up some new avenues for character interaction that could actually be interesting, especially if a Kara/Supergirl reveal is still on the table for later in the season. Their dynamic so far has been rather charming and they’re both easy on the eyes, so I mean... I am content to see where it goes.

Your ideal summer aesthetic is pretty much perfect.

that used to be my summer almost weekly when i was younger when we’d buy season passes and before all my cousins grew up and grew out of theme parks, it was pretty great

[motorcyclegirlfriends]

I've seen a drawing of Red Lantern Supergirl going around my feed for the last few days, I'm kind of curious, even though I doubt we'll ever see it in the show, what do you think it would take for Kara in the show to become a Red Lantern?

Great question! 

(Full disclosure, I do not know everything about the Red Lantern Supergirl story, so how I’ve gathered that it works may not fully align with the mechanics that the comics lay out.)

Well, Kara’s suppressed fury has always stemmed from her losses, so the question is, really, what is the minimum loss that would send Kara over the edge?

Because we could easily kill Alex off and just… leave Kara without a tether to the world. This is the quickest way to entirely throw off Kara’s motivation to suppress her rage. Like I’d go into more detail as to why but it just goes without saying?

Other than that, it’s hard to say.

Obviously losing someone she romantically loved isn’t enough. (Maybe in the future she’ll be shown to have a stronger romantic connection with someone else, but we don’t need to prop up romantic relationships in importance any more than television already does, so let’s… not.)

But some terrible fun situations that might make Kara’s fury strong enough to call a Red Ring to her:

Alura somehow coming back to life, just long enough for Kara to really accept it as true and get used to having her mother back in her life. But then Alura dies again. (Bonus points for it being a situation in which Kara tried to, but couldn’t manage to save her.)

Kara has the chance to somehow bring all of Krypton back from it’s destruction, but she fails. (If she has to choose not to, that might actually be a comfort to her, in a way. Because if it’s ‘for the good of all’ she can see it as a meaningful sacrifice rather than senseless pain. This really depends on how she ends up rationalizing it.)

Just… any kind of loss of Alex that Kara perceives to be un-fixable. This doesn’t necessarily have to = death.

Losing another planet. (Doesn’t have to be Earth.)

Of course, within all of these scenarios, there are conditions that could make it possible for Kara to overcome her own rage. 

And there are also less intense events that could effect Kara enough to call a Red Lantern Ring to her, but it would depend on the circumstances surrounding them. (Perhaps a compounding of smaller painful events enough that she’s hopeless in a way that she doesn’t feel benefits the world.)

Really, you can rationalize a variety of reactions to all of these events, depending on how you make her rationalize them. 

(When she loses something, does she see try to see the bright side or does she fall into self-pity and anger? Both reactions are possible within the confines of this character. All you have to do is build a sound argument for why she reacts that way.)

Personally, I see this Kara as incredibly resilient. I’d have to really back her into a psychological corner to make her lash out enough for a Red Lantern Ring, even keeping in mind the sheer depth of her pre-existing rage.

But big-scale losses that are reminiscent of her Initial Traumatic Event™ like losing a planet or losing someone from her family (pretty much just Alex and her close Kryptonian relatives) would best do the trick.

But I think it’s also important to note that she eventually comes back from this rage in a way that is unprecedented in the universe and important to the full-picture integrity (a.k.a. message) of her character.

That is crazy expensive. I think the average price is $13 for a regular ticket here. But I'm in a smaller city too. I know bigger cities can cost more. Our theatre has cheap night on Tuesdays and I genuinely try to not go to movies on Tuesdays because it's such a shitshow.

Cheap Tuesdays are a thing over here too. And now I suspect it’s a thing in many parts of the world. Interesting.
