Listen, I actually couldn't finish this episode. Like I lost brain cells, got ingestion and finally KO-ed because I could NOT grasp the plot. Not even seeing Lena again made this enjoyable for me. But here's what I got:

- I wonder how many takes Thomas took to say Nxyly's full name without biting his tongue off

- also I am so sorry Thomas that they had you sing. And yet somehow that wasn't the most cringe thing to happen in this episode

- Nia and Kara desperately assigning blame to themselves instead of just, idk, working together to fix the problem. Who cares who's fault it is??

- Alex jumping in front of kara when mxy brandishes the PZ projector is the only thing I liked

- Kelly's absence felt so odd after 2 back to back episodes of her front and centre

- Nia thinking that Kara would drag her for making a mistake makes me wonder if these characters even know each other

- kara: "I should've told you guys about Nxyly". Yes you idiot you absolutely should have! Like I get that they don't wanna bring it up but like how is ignoring what happened to her any better? Do they not do any Intel sharing?

- the fucking zookeeper is still here?!?!?

- look I wasn't expecting Lena to be talking to kara on the phone, I know better than that, but I had hoped it would at least be Nia considering that Lena and her have been bonding over their moms and it just makes sense??

- andrea's titty window sans kara or Lena to see it. What was it all for?

- I understand Lena using Andrea's resources to help her out and shit and I'm actually surprised the writer's remembered she doesn't have access to the LuthorCorp jet anymore. I honestly wouldn't have batted an eye if she did tho.

- the way we haven't had ANY scenes of dialogue between kara and lena aside from 6x01 and only ONE line from kara to Lena since then. Like are they actually going to brush everything under the goddamn rug? We heard from Alex that they've forgiven each other and it seems that way too but we haven't actually had the chance to judge that as an audience and it's (checks notes) 11 episodes already???

-Kara is back and yet Lena doesn't seem full. Kara is back and yet she hasn't been vulnerable with lena or with anyone really. Or was that all a lie?

- Nxyly is actually kinda hot in this episode. Interesting development there

- the team actually fighting a giant pussy cat and more brain cells have died. If they were hoping it would be amusing like the Legends fighting a giant Beebo, spoiler alert - it was not

- mxy and Nxyly and even the king has some keysmash names but one imp is actually named Jared? Just fucking Jared. Christ

- Lena being bullied by a bunch of Canadians is hilarious and I say this as a Canadian. Like Lena has stood her ground against Lex, Lillian, SG, an interrogation room filled with judgemental pricks, fucking Reign and yet, she looked two seconds from crying when denied her hotel room by some fucking Newfies. Get the fuck outa here.

- not a single Tim Hortons run in this entire episode. Are we sure she even went to Canada???

- at one point, I was rooting for Nxyly to win.

- so not only did they bring back that god awful wig that they actually had the audacity to make footage with it? That thing needs to be snatched and thrown into the sun like the trash monster.

- Katie looked so done in this episode and I don't even blame her. I suffered second hand embarrassment on her behalf. Those lines, her behaviour. It's like what the fuck happened to the Lena from the past 4 seasons?

- the mean bartender says "I've seen you on the news running arm in arm with a bulletproof alien" and the places my mind went is probably why I didn't pay any attention to the rest of the episode.

- so lemme see if I have this right. Lena's mom visits the cave lady in her dreams but never once thought to visit her traumatized little daughter?

- am I supposed to be upset that they killed an abuser? Because I'm not

- so much porn shots of the town car driving up and down some sketch and lonely road

- did Google maps really lead Lena to some random cave?? Bruh

- Lena's scenes felt so disconnected for a minute I thought I was watching a completely different show.

- aluminum foil on the props lord did they just say fuck it and made a Dollarama run for the cheapest 200ft roll they could buy?

- Kara being a mentor to Nia for the first time since that Nia centric episode last season. God I hate it here.

- they do remember J'onn is a shape shifter right? Why do we need an image inducer? I get the little Lena is still with the team crumb but it's stupid.

- still no word on M'gann huh

- yo since the Luthors are technically perceived on Earth-Prime as "good", what trail of bodies is this bar lady talking about? This isn't public knowledge and Lena's mom only killed 1 dude who frankly deserved it.

- sigh. We're really doing this witch Lena thing then.

- kara stop trying to reach the good in people! Just stop. When has this bullshit EVER WORKED? Some people are just too far gone. Accept it.

- stronger together has truly lost meaning on this show

- Alex and Kara being so willing to hold much less use the PZ projector is utter bullshit. Also they just have that thing lying around for any grabby hands to take?

- what the actual fuck is Kara's arc this season? Or Alex? Or poor J'onn. The man has been seriously neglected.

- kara is supposed to be the most powerful being on the planet and yet this show continues to nerf her abilities. God I missed the days of S1 when Kara looked like she could fuck shit up.

- also when is kara going to be the focus of her own show again? Are we ever going to properly address Kara's issues? We got two episodes of James processing his trauma and only 5 mins of flashbacks in 6x08 for Kara and a few fleeting moments sprinkled across the last 5 seasons. Ridiculous. Like it won't diminish her as a character to seek professional help, it won't make her any less of a hero. Think of how impactful that would be and the message that could send about the importance of mental health.

- glad to see a promo for this important episode next week (I honestly can't wait - Kelly in a head wrap is so personal to me y'all) but please I'm begging you, do not make the issue of race come at the expense of kara's intelligence and awareness. She's a journalist, she's seen xenophobia and written about it, she's been friends with James for years. Kara knows about racism. Please show that.

Needless to say I did not enjoy this episode at all. I was happy to see Lena again but all her scenes were just hard to watch. I feel like so much of their very limited time is being wasted and there's still so many things they haven't touched upon yet. When exactly are we gonna get to it? Better question, will we ever get to it? Probably not.

Like I wanted to see the super friends communicating, leaning on each other, character growth, being truly stronger together but no. They're giving us literally anything but that and it's frustrating.

Best of this Week: Week of April 3rd, 2019

Best of this Week: Young Justice #4 - Brian Michael Bendis, Patrick Gleason, Josh Timms, Alejandro Sanchez, Alex Sinclair and Wes Abbott

What a great way to reintroduce a character!

To me, Amethyst is one of those characters that has always been lost in the shuffle of things. From her 1980s maxi-series, to her sixteen issue run, and her reemergence around Infinite Crisis in 2005 and even another series after the New 52 began. She’s never been around long enough to establish a strong presence in the mind, but after this issue, I want to see more of her in the future!

With an explosive beginning in the form of a flashback, awesomely drawn by Josh Timms, Amethyst is established as a capable fighter and protector of the House of Turquoise, one of the Seven Houses of Gemworld. She prevents her Queen/Mother from being kidnapped and her characterization is established immediately as being a protective, yet brash girl who is willing to end the problem of Dark Lord Opal “permanently”, but is continuously passed over by the Council of Gemworld who may or may not have struck deals with the dark lord to not be attacked if he decides to siege the rest of Gemworld.

Throughout the issue we’re also treated to Amethyst conversing with the others trapped underground. I think what makes her so endearing here is that there’s a subtle sense that she doesn’t really feel like she belongs on Gemworld, if not only because the council members suggest sending her back to Earth when they believe she’s left the council chambers and even later when her mother suggests the same. I feel as though she’ll grow into claiming both worlds as her own as the series progresses, giving her an awesome sense of self fighting for both Earth and Gemworld.

In the present, Conner and Bart get reacquainted while Conner is being detained by Dark Opal guards who threaten his family. Bart annoys them with his constant talking and Conner muses about missing the little guy and then PUNCHES the armor off of one of the guards as a show of force, causing the others to flee. Gleason does an amazing job of showing us that Conner’s still got it as his muscles ripple beneath his bodysuit and the armor shatters into thousands of pieces all under a wonderful evening sky.

The original opening line to this was going to be “Young Justice is (mostly) back,” because of the following pages show Conner and Bart reuniting with Cassie and Tim Drake “Robin”, as well as finally showing us Teen Lantern alongside Jenny Hex and Amethyst, but the team doesn’t do anything but embrace in a hug before we cut to another flashback, taking us to when Amethyst met Robin back in issue #1.

Most of my enjoyment of this issue comes from the hope that Amethyst will be a great contributing member to the Young Justice team, much like Crush on the Teen Titans. She’s got great spirit and a cool enough look to last a while and she made an impression, especially after three issues with very similar storytelling and not much action. Another contributing factor was the heartwarming embrace from the original team and it’s just nice to see most of my favorite characters seeing each other again, barring Bart. Patrick Gleason has such an innocent and strong art style that plays well with the story being told here with everyone having hopeful expressions by the end. Timms flashback art, also compliments this, making Amethyst seem more childlike and naive to the future consequences of her actions.

It took some doing, but I think I’m highly anticipating the next issue of the series.

---------------------------------------------------

Everyone wants to live in a perfect world.

Runner Up: Justice League #21 - Scott Snyder, Jorge Jimenez, Alejandro Sánchez, Tom Napolitano

A place where there is no war, suffering or violence. A land of peace, light and prosperity… but even peace comes at a high price.

The book begins with Superman fighting his future self after Futureman told him his plan and how he would not make it to his friends on Perfect Earth with his powers failing due to lack of sunlight. Jorge Jimenez captures how much stronger Future Superman is by having him take down Clark with what best can be described as a single handed,  wristlock take down that looks like Future Superman learned a thing or two from watching the first Part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Not only that, but his glaring white costume, colored by Alejandro Sánchez, makes him look almost god-like in comparison to current Superman. After handedly taking down Superman, Future Superman tells him that he can stay alive by eating from the garden on the other side of the rock he's on and that he will never escape.

At the same time, Batman is having tea with “Batman” Dick Grayson in a pristine and bright Gotham. Things are already unsettling. Batman is smiling, drinking tea out of happiness in a bright Gotham and that's a red flag if I've ever seen one. He's pulled away to have a meeting of the minds with the rest of the League barring Superman and the truth of the world is revealed when Hawkgirl and J'onn J'onzz ask their future “son” to tell the group what's up.

Future Superman arrives in the mindscape and reveals himself to be one of Perpetua's sons, brother to the Monitor and Anti-Monitor, The World Forger. His design is awesome with deep blue skin, a harness-like top resembling J'onn's X with his cape along with beads that make him look like a shaman and a GIANT curved hammer. He looks like a badass!

He tells the heroes how this world will come to be, with a war spilling out of sides being chosen over hope or doom. The League will preemptively attack anyone on the side of doom, they will lose their way, but it will lead to this prosperity.

Of course almost everyone is against this, causing the World Forger to become furious that they would throw everything away and risk not trapping Perpetua again for some awful sense of Justice. I loved this aspect of the book that even in the face of another being FAR above their level, everyone, aside from Batman, is willing to have hope and fight for a better path. At the same time, I love that Batman sees the Gotham he's been fighting for and would rather have it perfect than keep fighting all of the ever increasing threats.

This was a great issue and deepened the lore behind Perpetua and another one of her kids. Jorge Jimenez always does his best on art and really makes the future world look like a Utopia and plays up the desolate nature of the space that Superman is trapped in. Everything combined together makes for another fantastic book by Scott Snyder and I'm eagerly anticipating the next issue!

s'il vous plaît, 11, 27, and 38

Pas problem, mon ami(e)!! 

11- Do you listen to music while writing?

A lot of the time, yes. Recently it was a song Foley sent me called “Feel It Still” (it’s got a really good beat for writing to) but for S.O.S. I listened to the song of the same name by Joseph and their song “White Flag” is inspiring the second chapter. Usually, the song I’m listening to will inspire the mood of the fic, so a fast song gives an angry or happy fic and then a slow one will give a sad or soft fic. 

But sometimes I just can’t listen to anything while writing. I dunno, my muse is finicky. 

27- Best review you ever got

Okay. So @shatterpath was in Cartinelli too and migrated to Supergirl. I’ve gotten some pretty fucking fabulous reviews, but Shatterpath always makes me smile. They’re the best reviewer consistently. 

But of course there was this one from @the-queen-of-the-light :

“Okay but you come into mY HOUSE and make me FEEL these things!!!! Poppy, my heart!!! It's weak!!! It can't handle this kind of fluff!!!! Look at the things you do to me, making me melt and such -Maggie "I'll charm the pants off of you" Sawyer-Lena, the anxious puppy that feels too much-J'onn trying to headhunt both of his daughters' women for the DEO-J'onn trying and failing to understand Apples to Apples (beautiful)-PROTECTIVE SPACE DAD LOVES HIS CHILDREN (I cry!!!)-Also our chILD PROPOSING!!! Holy CRAP give me the details on our bby, Vas, and her delightful sounding fiancee, Anne!!!

Which was on Love and Other Feelings Like It and that’s a pretty great review

38- Do you reread your own stories?

Yeah. First and foremost, I write for myself. That’s why it’s so enjoyable. I mean, this is my free time, writing is my hobby; if I don’t like what I write, why in the world am I doing this?? Sharing it with all of you is just a huge bonus.

I don’t reread them a lot, but sometimes it’s fun to see how far I’ve come as a writer. I mean, compare A Softer Voice with Kara Should Wear a Two-Piece, my writing has gotten leaps and bounds better (mostly because since then I’ve started talking with other writers).

I've known your M'gann for very little, but I love her

Stop making me want to hug these martians so much please!!

On her cloth disinterest, she reminds me of my experience with clothing due to the tism and sensorial issues

Aah that makes me so happy!! Thank you! Here's a couple of extra M'gann facts for your enjoyment:

M'gann, morseso than J'onn, has heightened sensorial issues from changing to a drastically different environment and social status (from towering cosmic being to tiny human girl). But she does end up finding things to like about Earth!

6x13: The Gauntlet

Two enjoyable episodes back-to-back? I'm shook! Obviously 6x13 lacks the serious messaging and emotional weight of last week's episode but the silliness of it was actually entertaining. My thoughts:

- opening scene is a supercorp hug. christ y'all need to warn people! i was not ready. the way kara's face lit up when she saw lena, the way lena smiled back at her. the way they hugged fully pressed. my heart is full.

- kara n lena immediately whisking away to the fortress right after that for some alone time. i love where your head is at kara 😏

- look at dansen being all cute and shit! who gave them the right honestly?

- glad they continued with kelly still processing the stuff from last episode. and alex is really trying to do better. dansen is the example to follow when it comes to healthy adult relationships. i really didn't think this show was capable.

- it's getting harder and harder to like andrea

- i actually forgot willy was shot last season. and they worked through his trauma off screen. what was the point of showing him getting a blast of courage if we weren't going to see him face his fears and shit. y'all really don't like deep topics huh.

- andrea: where's the journalist i hired?

apparently crisis changed him from a stalkery dickhead to the nice baking guy he is now. sorry girl. valid question tho

- can i just say that everyone was looking exceptionally hot in this episode? like lena, kelly and nxyly in particular jesus help me.

- i haven't enjoyed j'onn this much in so long. he was hilarious. letting that mad scientist lady plummel him in the chest, saying "hold that thought", not moving away from the dragon fire.

- brainy possessed by veeta you could tell jesse was told to just have fun with it

- also did this kryptonian witch just say 'ya mon'?

- lena looking all smol and shit with her little white sneakers and soft clothes and her waterfall hair. kara! kiss this woman already!

- kara in the suit talking privately with lena. honestly never thought i'd see the day

- kara: you really don't believe in magic?

lena: i believe in you

NO ONE TOUCH ME!!!

- this seriously tho this is such a true statement. they both have believed in each other from minute one, when they had no reason to. and yea lena tried to hate kara for a little while but even then, she never stopped believing in kara's compassion and optimism and kara never stopped believing in lena's goodness and brilliance. just say the words 'i love you' explicitly please.

- interesting that kara's test of courage takes place during her rescuing alex's plane and not idk...all the times she was too scared to tell lena. she thinks it's that one random dude she didn't save and not the times with lena (something she admits terrified her). the only thing i can think of for this moment they chose is because yes kara embraced her powers that night but she didn't step out into the public eye as herself, as the last daughter of krypton. she wasn't vulnerable in that respect. because she was scared to be discovered. because she grew up with that fear and need to fit in (she talks about that in later S1). but i will only accept this IF the show ends with kara stepping out into the world fully and no longer having to hide or deny parts of herself. but i also don't see how you make the courage test about telling lena and not have that end with kara admitting she's in love with her so. that might be why.

- nxyly's courage test was actually very sad. i feel for her truly it's not fair what happened. but her being vulnerable about her feelings is interesting because kara still hasn't learned how to do that

- lena having some convenient device to contain the totem just cuz kara needs it. we love handy and resourceful girlfriends

- what was the point of having lena at the museum if she wasn't gonna be affected? y'all copped out!

- that device that was harnessing lightning also somehow made lightning? is that how it works?

- i ASCENDED when i saw alex and lena being the only ones at kara's bedside. like straight out of fanfiction wtf. how many more times are they going to establish that the two most important people in kara's life is alex (her sister and ride or die) and lena (her best friend and perfect partner). how many times before you make this shit canon?!?!

- 'a reluctant earth witch' it's a very interesting way to pronounce lena luthor

- but also, y'all are telling me that a human witch can tap into imp magic? reality warping magic? all-powerful magic? fuck, lena is really on her way to becoming the most powerful being on the planet

- kelly showing up because lena called. im gonna go ahead and assume this indicates that lena and kelly have also spoken about lena ignoring her message. and that they had a meaningful discussion about it and what happened at the ormfell. because as much as i love lena, she deserved to be dragged just as much (if not more) as the superfriends.

- kelly shielding alex was a good visual. kinda stupid but nice.

- dansen couch scene i stopped breathing cuz i swore kelly was about to propose. i love them so much

- supercorp couch scene is where i died because it came at me without warning. kara sans glasses in her civilian clothes. not performing as kara danvers or supergirl. here she's just kara, an alien refugee chilling with her best friend. which is all she ever wanted and she deserves it!

- kara handing lena her plate. stop it!

- but also lena is in the same clothes all episode. which means they left the tower together. and headed straight to kara's apartment. lena definitely slept over in kara's pjs. I'M NOT OKAY!

- this is the first couch scene we got since alex n kara in 6x08. where Kara admits she doesn't want to be alone anymore. and now she isn't because lena is back. god i actually can't.

- kara's face when lena tells her about being a witch. she's so smitten! they're in love your honour

- lena saying that kara is the epitome of courageous with such seriousness and intensity. even though kara tries to brush it off cuz she can't really agree right now, lena means it 100%

- lena's sad face when kara wanted to stay connected to nxyly even though she could get hurt. worried wife energy we love to see it

- poor nxyly must be confused asf

- but also it's canon that kara feels hopeful and happy around lena and no one can take that from me. and it's not just words. kara's behavior is different, she's smiling more, she's opening up. acting choices melissa explain yourself!

not bad at all. we were fed lots of supercorp after months of nothing. they better keep up this momentum. it was lighter episode in terms of emotions and what have you compare to pervious ones. seems like the season is officially kicking off now that lena is back. probably going to have a totem of the week kinda deal but hopefully they include kelly's storyline with the heights cuz i wanna see the conclusion of that.
