Supergirlie's goin thru it.

She may be invulnerable but her heart is fragile.

Supergirl has such a tragic origin tbh. Unlike Superman who was sent away as a baby, She grew up on Krypton. She had a life, she had friends(who died so young) she had hopes and dreams that will now never come true. The life she once knew, now ripped away from her. The only thing that kept her from completely breaking down was the determination to find her baby cousin.

I love the stories that focus on this brokeness of hers. On this new planet with confusing customs and beings that look like Kryptonians but aren't . Humans will always be a constant reminder of what she's lost.

i feel like some people forget pen has been pining after colin for three seasons. twenty episodes of home girl being love sick over this man, colin just needed to catch up. to realize him looking for pen in every ballroom, only feeling comfortably seen by his best friend, is something more. that’s why there is no slow burn. those twenty episodes have been the slow burn!

since i have to do everything around here does it not fuck anyone else up that the parallels between naegi and sakura are so fucking tragic in how naegi has spent the rest of his life doing nothing but endlessly sacrificing himself even for people who by all means didnt deserve it and how the person he considered the strongest he has ever known decided to kill herself in an attempt to maintain that hope, how sakura was so easily able to forgive and chose to martyr herself because she believed they could make it past this, that her sacrifice will have meaning in ensuring her friends survive. how naegi's borderline deification by the wider DR world as the ultimate hope has him running himself ragged to fix it because he just happened to be the only one capable of stopping junko. how he was the only one who was strong enough for it. how he was equally Too strong in the face of overwhelming odds and he's continued to pay the price for it. sakuras goal of being the strongest not really lying in proving her strength to the world but to protect the legacy of someone close to her and naegi doing the exact same thing in carrying the deaths of all his friends, only incidentally becoming the savior of the world.

naegi/sakura parallels are so damn good and tragic, man. they are so fundamentally similar it hurts when you realize that the only true difference in why naegi is the one who survived lies in how sakura just happened to be the unlucky one blackmailed by monokuma.

Katniss watched one of the people she loved most get beaten nearly to death and then immediately compartmentalized and didn't think about it for the next few days because she had shit to do and honestly she's so much stronger than me, I would've fallen into the water sobbing and gotten blown up by the mine

One of the biggest arguments I’ve seen used by the Ob*d*l*s against Anidala, is that scene in the ROTS novel where Padmé says she could trust OW with the secret of the rebellion and was hesitant to tell Anakin and I just wanna say:

Padmé wasn't an idiot. She was an extremely intelligent and competent woman, perfectly able to understand that loving Anakin and thinking that he could be trusted with a certain politic-related matter were two very different things and reducing her choice regarding who to trust with an important political matter only on the basis of her feelings of romantic love diminishes her professionalism, and this is why I say y'all could never understand her.

Padmé didn’t have to "love" OW or even like him at all to know he was the perfect Jedi to ask for help in a secret political matter.

That's the point being made in the novel, she’s hit with the realization that Anakin in this particular moment could not be told this piece of info because of his relationship with Palpatine, and Padmé specifically mentions in the Junior ROTS novel that she didn't want to make Anakin “keep a secret” if he didn’t agree with their stance because it’d be “unfair.” So this also played a part in why Padmé didn’t think it best to inform Anakin about the Rebellion. It honestly had little to do with her actually lacking trust in him, and more to do with the circumstances she was in not allowing her to be open with her husband and her not wanting to make him choose between his wife and his “father figure.”

However, Padmé knows OW’s political ideas aren't tied to ONE particular person but to a philosophy, one which is closer to her own, at that point. None of this was ever meant to be hinted as “romantic” or even remotely insinuated as romantic. It’s strictly professional and even the tone of the scene makes that so abundantly clear.

All I’m saying is that, some of these proshippers are doing the most out here to try and prove their ship, like my loves? You forgot a very important thing called ✨ context ✨ and regardless of her rational thinking, Padmé still went out of her way to try and talk out all of this Rebellion secrecy stuff with Anakin when she confronted him in the scene where she asks if he ever thought they were “fighting on the wrong side.” Padmé didn’t trust OW in the same way she trusted Anakin (with her entire self and being) she had the level of trust and love for Anakin that was only meant for him.

Mixing up her unwavering faith in Anakin as her husband with her trust in OW’s devotion to duty as her comrade/ally is purposely deluding yourself, because the two aren’t the same and therefore can’t be compared. An example of this is: Padmé constantly putting more value to Anakin’s words over OW’s in the end of ROTS when he came to tell her of Anakin’s “crimes”. She completely disregarded what OW had claimed about her husband and instead made her way to where Anakin was herself, to ask him directly. Despite what the truth was, this is proof of her trusting Anakin unconditionally, and I didn’t even think I had to spell that out because it’s as clear as day.

In conclusion, Padmé didn’t trust OW more than Anakin, she just knew the circumstances she was in didn’t exactly make it easy for her to openly talk with her husband about these matters and that’s part of what played into the issues they had in ROTS, it’s exactly what Sidious wanted. This scene in the novel doesn’t exist to imply some hidden romantic undertone that George was intending all along. No, far from that. George was always an “open, , clear and easy to understand” type of storyteller, so if the former was the case, this scene wouldn’t be any different if there was some hidden message or subtext the reader should be made aware of, George would make it obvious. Fact of the matter is, the one and only reason for this scene in the novel to exist is only to show to us as the “reader” that the narrative is tearing apart the Star-Crossed-lovers (Anakin and Padmé.) and visibly putting the two of them on different sides in the story because the consequences of this narrative choice is what will foreshadow and play into the inevitable and great fall of the couple and character in the future. Even the novel makes a very purposeful and clear distinction between “love and trust” in this chapter where all this occurs. Padmé loves Anakin, but knew she had to trust OW with the situation at hand. And if you want to talk “narratively” Padmé needed a reason to keep the Rebellion a secret from Anakin, thus leading to Palpatine to sense “betrayal” in Padmé later on, and using that to his advantage to manipulate Anakin even more into getting him to “suspect” her. It’s all spelt out for us and it’s not hard to miss. All it takes is a little media literacy and understanding context.

(Mind you, hypothetically, if this scene existed for literally any other reason, it would’ve been brought up again, but it wasn’t. It’s only mentioned once and exists for only one moment which was meant to serve a certain narrative and then it was done. There’s not much to make of it since the context of the scene is so clear.)

I do think it’s interesting that in episode 6, Larys and Mysaria both spoke to their emotionally vulnerable monarch, praised them, and used tales of their horrible childhoods to endear themselves to them.

"you can't complain, it's a force of nature."

kab says this, and yet, I think it is entirely what she is missing. she is trying to control balance, to control the server, while missing that this has always been up to the server. Yes, there is a large heart gap, but we can actively see players trying to overcome it and bring down those on top. that is in the nature fo the server. if one person controls it, where can conflict exist? karma's law goes against the servers way of working, and ultimately I don't think it will do much of anything.
