Quick little fluffy blurb for you all 🫶

Kara Danvers x Reader blurb

I’ll Always Be Here

You let out a frustrated sigh as you step outside into the crisp afternoon air and lean against the wall of the alley by your office building. The cool fall air feels nice on your skin. The office just seems so hot and stuffy today. One of your coworkers must have messed with the thermostat again. Your eyes drift close as you take a few deep, calming breaths. Once you feel better, you pull out your phone and call your girlfriend, Kara.

“Hey babes, what’s up?” Her cheerful voice sounds from the speaker, the familiar sound immediately calming you down even more. “Hey, Kar…I just wanted to hear your voice.” You murmur, trying your best to sound normal but you know Kara can probably hear the exhausted tone to your voice.

“Are you alright, you sound off?” Kara notes and you can easily picture the infamous worry crinkle that’s no doubt etched between her brows. “I’m alright baby, it’s just been a long morning.” You add a light chuckle, hoping to convince your girlfriend that you’re fine—though you’re so tired you find it hard to believe it’s only noon.

“Do you wanna walk about it?” Kara’s tone is so sweet that your heart aches for her. You really want nothing more than to have her warm arms wrapped around you right now. But you’re both at work and you know how important Kara’s job is. Not to mention her whole ‘secret superhero’ thing that often calls her attention away from work. She shouldn’t miss more than she has to.

“No, it’s nothing, really. I’ll tell you when I see you in person later.” You reply and a few beats pass in silence. Did she not hear you? “Kara, are you there?” You ask into the small device.

Suddenly a small gust of wind blows in front of you as a blonde figure in a suit and cape lands in the alley way. “Yeah. I’m here baby.” Kara hangs up the phone in her hand as she walks closer to you. You smile as you let your body relax into the gentle hug she pulls you into.

“Do you want to talk about it now? It’s later and we’re in person.” Kara pulls away to get a better look at you. You shake your head with a laugh. “You seriously flew all the way here because I had a crappy morning?” You ask and Kara nods, her face completely serious. “Of course I did.”

You smirk, leaning in to kiss her soft lips. “I love you, super dork.” You murmur against her lips. Kara hums softly as she kisses you back, taking your hand in hers when you both pull away. “Talk to me now?” She hums and you nod.

“Oh Rao I don’t even know where to start. I guess today’s just once of those days, ya know? Every little thing seemed to go wrong. I woke up tired, I almost missed my bus, I spilled my coffee, my boss is a jerk—nothing new there, Ally ate my lunch again, and, and I just…” Kara kisses you again to stop your rant as you start to get worked up.

“Shh, calm down sweetheart. I’m sorry it’s been such a bad day.” She places her hand on your cheek, rubbing it softly with her thumb to calm you down. You’re about to say something when she frowns, a crinkle of worry forming in her brows.

“You feel warm.” Kara places a palm to your forehead to confirm. You frown too. Now that you think about it, you do feel kinda feverish. As if on cue, a shiver goes down your spine. “Yeah, you have a fever. I think you’re coming down with something love.” Kara pouts sympathetically at you. You sigh. “Yeah that makes sense.”

Kara kisses your forehead. “Aw baby, can I fly you home? Forget about work, you should be resting.” She asks and you nod. She immediately picks you up, flying gently into the sky as she holds you securely in her warm, strong arms. You tuck your head against her chest. “Thank you.” You mumble, closing your eyes as the cool wind blows against your face.

“Of course, my love. I’ll always be here for you.”

[loveofshows]

I had a dream the other night, which messed me up. So here’s a version of it. I am so sorry

——

Querl might be hallucinating.

Either that, or he’s taken something that’s messing with his brain. Because there is no way there should be two Kara’s in front of him.

One laughing at something Alex had said. And one lying in a casket, sleeping. At least he hopes she’s sleeping.

He’s not sure which one is real. There’s a big part of him that doesn’t want to know. An even smaller part that knows but doesn’t want to come to terms with.

He would rather have Kara laughing and smiling at him everyday, than the other.

“You okay Brainy?” Winn asked, moving to stand beside him. “You’ve been staring at Alex awfully hard there. Like she gave you a sour drink or something.”

Rubbing his eyes, the Kara that was laughing disappears only to stand beside them. “Yeah. Just, it’s been a tough day.”

“I hear you,” Winn said, turning to look at Alex. Who bent down a little, whispering a final goodbye. “Funerals take a lot out of you.”

Querl hummed in agreement. “Sometimes it doesn’t feel real. Like she’s still here with us,” he said, eyes darting to Kara. All he wants to do is hug Kara to him. Kiss her senseless and tell her how much he loves her. But he can’t, she’s not here anymore and it’ll be a regret he’ll have to carry for the rest of his life.

“Right? It’s like you can feel her around you. Feel the warmth she carried while she was still here, you know? And now we’ll never have it again.”

Querl stayed quiet, and swayed slightly when Winn patted his back. “I’m going to say goodbye before it starts. You should to.”

“But she’s right here,” he whispered as Winn left, gesturing to the Kara beside him.

“But I’m not, not really,” she said, startling him. “And you know that, Brainy.”

“I don’t want to,” he said, covering his eyes. “I don’t know what to do without you.”

“You’ll survive,” she said it so simply that he wanted to believe her. “You have Winn and Alex and Lena and James, and all your friends. Just don’t close up, let them in. They’ll need you just as much as you need them.”

“But we need you more,” he choked out, letting the tears fall. “It shouldn’t have been you.”

“But it was.”

Silence fell, and Querl did his best to ignore the sounds around the church as he tried to get his bearing.

“Oh, I look pretty,” Kara said after a moment. Querl opened his eyes to see Kara standing over by her casket, peering down at herself. And peaceful.”

“Of course,” he said once he moved to stand beside her. “You’ve always been pretty. Alex was the one to pick your clothes.”

“Oh I’m glad. It’s one of my favourite dresses.”

“I’m sure she knew.”

Silence fell, and Querl bent his head as he whispered goodbye for the last time.

“You’ll be okay,” Kara said before leaving. “I know you will.”

Querl stood and watched her leave, and wondered if she was right.

“You okay Brainy?” Alex asked, he looked to her and shrugged. He offered his arm to her, Alex took it and together they went to sit down before the funeral started.

“I will be,” he answered, ignoring the Kara standing at the back of the church. “I think anyways.”

pros of kara's page in the new dc encyclopedia:

no mention of "kara danvers" or eliza/jeremiah

batgirl (as in babs) being listed as a main ally (they're girlfriends) (they haven't interacted in a main universe comic since 2020) (unless you count when they stood next to each other in worlds finest)

cons:

her main base being national city even though she literally hasn't been there in like ??? five years

her being 5'5"...... she should be AT LEAST 5'8"

cyborg (zor el) superman mention BOOOOO !!!!

really funny to me that the cyborg superman arc is the standout story they chose for the little blurb on the side. literally who cares about reign of the cyborg supermen. woman of tomorrow was right there. if not that then the killers of krypton at least....

no mention of alura at all in kara's bio.... writers who've prioritized one parent over the other in supergirl stories are my enemy.

Superman #93 (September 1994)

ZERO HOUR CROSSOVER! Due to the time-related shenanigans going on around the DC Universe, Superman meets his Kryptonian parents again -- and this time, his mom doesn't want to puke when she sees him! In fact, she even gives him a motherly kiss. Aww.

We start with Supergirl fighting some 68th century aliens who found themselves transported to present-day Earth and apparently figured they might as well invade it. Superman drops by and deals with the aliens via his usual approach to problem-solving: he just chucks their ship back into space.

As the heroes land back in Metropolis, Lois Lane hands Superman her cellular telephone because he has a call from Ma Kent, who sounds pretty panicked. The call abruptly cuts off, and there's a dramatic moment where Superman wonders if he can really leave the whole "the universe is in danger" thing aside for a while...

...before deciding that, yes, his mom is more important, obviously.

So, Superman flies to Smallville to check on his parents, only to find two surprise characters in their home: freaking' Psi-Phon and Dreadnaught. Wait, no, it's his other parents, Jor-El and Lara, just standing in the Kent's kitchen. Jor-El explains that, after sending little baby Kal-El's rocket to Earth all those years ago, they realized Krypton wasn't exploding after all, whoops. A scientist called Jen-Em had figured out how to stall the explosion, and then, after years of work, they managed to cure Krypton of its explosive tendencies for good.

Superman quickly figures out that this must be the result of the weirdness caused by Zero Hour (after all, he's been to Krypton and saw that there's nothing but a big ball of green gas there), but he agrees to put on a Cyclops-esque visor that will show him Jor-El's story in more detail.

Through the futuristic Viewmaster, Superman learns that in this timeline, Krypton's near-death experience caused the Kryptonians to re-evaluate their priorities and abandon their cold, emotionless ways (hence this Lara not being repulsed by her son). In fact, Lara became the first modern Kryptonian to get pregnant and have a child the old fashioned way -- meaning that, yes, Superman has a brother, Zan-El. Zan not only grew up to become "prefect over the entire planet" (so, world president) but, more importantly, he also brought back the shorter togas and fashionable headbands of Krypton's ancient, Mike Mignola-designed past.

Meanwhile, Jor-El had spent all those decades working on a cure to the genetic defect that kills Kryptonians if they try to leave the planet. He finally came up with a serum that temporarily allowed him and Lara to visit Earth, but it's already wearing off. So, Superman has to decide quickly: will he go live in alternate, non-exploded Krypton with his biological family? Or will he stay with his adoptive one that actually raised him and made him who he is?

Superman agonizes over the choice for a moment, but then he's like "hey, wait a minute, I can just go visit!" He informs the Els of his decision and they're overjoyed -- until a poorly-timed thunderbolt full of chronal energy strikes their spaceship and erases them from reality.

"The last son of Krypton is orphaned once again." Damn, Jurgens.

Metron of the New Gods comes to remind the grieving Superman that all the other superheroes are waiting for him at Zero Hour #3 (now on sale!), but Superman says they can wait a little longer because he has something important to do: hug his Earth parents and tell them he loves them.

CONTINUED IN ZERO HOUR!

Plotline-Watch:

This is a classic issue, obviously, but my problem with it is that one of the "next issue" blurbs in another Super-Title had teased it as "Guess who's coming to dinner?" -- and yet there's no scene of the Kents and the Els enjoying any type of meal. I haven't read the recent Zero Hour 30th Anniversary Special by Jurgens (I will once we're done covering the event), but this scene better be in it.

At the start of the issue, as she fights the aliens, Supergirl sees the Superman hologram that he and Metron created with Green Lantern's help in Zero Hour #4. We'll go over every DC comic that got spammed with green holo-Superman in another post.

It greatly pleases me that Superman specifically mentions the time, exactly 75 issues ago, when Hawkman took him to see Krypton's remains (at which point Superman hallucinated a timeline where the Kryptonians survived by becoming even bigger assholes). Sure, it later turned out that this was an evil Hawkman impostor who inexplicably helped save Superman's life, but Superman probably doesn't know about that whole mess, plus I think Zero Hour is about to delete it from continuity anyway.

The reason for that genetic link to Krypton that Jor-El mentions was the Eradicator, as revealed in Action Annual #2, but Jurgens also refrains from opening that particular can of worms in this comic (especially since the Eradicator is currently running around with a superhero team and even appears in Zero Hour).

Metropolis Mailbag:

Imagine our delight (and our embarrassment) when we opened the newsletter archive page for Man of Steel #37 last week and saw there was a comment there from Mr. Jon Bogdanove himself, which had been sitting there unanswered for over a month! Agh! Here it is in full:

"Don—Outstanding job identifying all the Batmen ( You even got Walt!!). The only one you didn’t get reflects my failure. What you guessed was Marshall Rogers was meant to be Bernie Wrightson. However I deeply regret NOT including Marshall. I really should have. I also left out Norm, mainly because I didn’t think I could do him justice. I tried a few sketches and was able to identify a number of tropes we took a similar approach to—but I just wasn’t satisfied that I could really nail Norm—at least in the time I had left. Teaching myself all these different styles really pushed the drop-dead deadline to the limit. I really put poor Dennis and Whitty under the gun on this one. I did learn a hell of a lot drawing this issue though. Nothing like studying the masters to help you learn!! BTW: Weezie and I love that everyone hated Jeb so very much. One gets to draw many villains in one’s career, but rarely does one get to create so dislikeable a douchebag! I consider Jeb a genuine achievement. I know 90’s Jimmy annoys some people, but to me Jimmy was always meant to be comic relief. I liked playing Jimmy as this doofus kid with a middle-aged dad’s sense of cool. He still cracks me up. I would love to do a Retro look at Zero Hour—perhaps a vignette from that same night— in which 90s Jimmy meets himself from various other timelines—Golden Age office boy Jimmy, Silver-Age drag queen Jimmy, Kirby-era Jimmy, etc. I’d dedicate it to Max!"

And my shamefully late response (gonna go ahead and blame the time disturbances for it):

"I am mortified that we hadn't seen this comment until now! (Didn't realize the newsletter wouldn't alert us, argh) Sir, if you don't draw that Jimmy idea, I swear I will commission it from you one day. I would add Turtle Boy Jimmy, My Adventures with Superman Jimmy, and of course bald, Superman-hating Jerry Ordway Jimmy. Just no Jebs, please."

(I now check the newsletter archive pages for comments 75 times a day, unless I forget.)

And now: more from Don Sparrow, who sent me his section weeks ago but it also got lost in time (actually, I decided to cover Zero Hour #4 first). Keep reading:

Art-Watch (by @donsparrow):

We open with the cover, and while it’s a bit broad, it’s certainly accurate for the story within.  I kinda dig that “DC Universe” trade dress, though it didn’t seem to last very long.  Inside the issue, we’re met with a lovely full-page splash of Supergirl amidst a LOT going on—thunderclouds, lightning, a firing spacecraft and a Star Wars style holographic projection of Superman.

I wasn’t sure which review to tackle first, Zero Hour #4, or this one, but since they seem to take place more or less at the same time (with the holographic message coming early into issue 4, but the New York meeting coming in Zero Hour #3), I flipped a coin and went with this one as happening first.  As the story progresses, Supergirl gets an assist from the Man of Steel in dealing with the timelost aliens, brusquely tossing them into space.  This issue exemplifies a trend I’ve noticed with Jurgens’ layouts since the Death and Return storyline—he uses a lot fewer panels per page than he once did, often with a near full page splash and then two or three panels laid overtop.  Visually, it’s very arresting, and Jurgens knocks the background splashes out of the park—on pages 4 and 5, despite being nearly identical scenarios (Superman and Supergirl flying in a stormy sky), they’re both so well handled, you don’t even mind the repetition.  But from a storytelling standpoint, it really does feel like a little less to read each issue, so the Superman issues seem a little thinner in terms of what actually happens.  Anyone else notice this? [Max: For me at the time, the shorter plots were balanced out by the fact that I spent more time looking at the big, awesome pictures, as opposed to the smaller, lamers ones in the backissues I was buying, with all that wasted white space between panels. I'm paying for the full page to be used, dammit!!!] 

Back to the art, page 7 has a great drawing of a pensive Superman. Page 9 is a great image, but a bit of a missed opportunity—the last panel would have been more impactful had Jor-El REALLY looked identical to Kal-El (which I’ve mocked up). [Max: I also made a small change to the panel, see if you can spot it...]

I do appreciate Jurgens’ and Rubinstein’s effort to still give the Els expressive faces, without eyebrows.

As Jor-El shares the alternate history of Krypton, Superman in the VR visor is pretty reminiscent of Cyclops from X-Men.  It’s compelling to see the flowing outfits that Zan-El and his bride wear, in opposition to the robes of Jor and Lara—much more like the early more Roman look shown in the first issue of the World of Krypton series.  My guess is the group that attend Zan’s nuptials are all members of the El family--I had thought that the different Kryptonian houses would wear different colours rather than everyone in green, but aside from the odd panel from Action Annual #2, I can’t seem to find much corroboration of that assumption.  The sweet image of Lara giving her son a peck on the cheek is quietly powerful, with a great expression on Superman’s face on page 17.  Lastly, the tragic page of chronal discharge (which sounds like a rap metal band name) and electrical storms is well drawn.

SPEEDING BULLETS:

When Superman is hemming and hawing over whether to focus on the extinction level event the superheroes are facing, or head to the farm to help his parents, Supergirl posits “There’s only one choice and you know it.”  I completely thought that it was setting up for him to focus on saving all of humanity rather than popping home for a visit.

Perhaps it’s because they were trying to have the Zero Hour books serve as a jumping on point for new readers (particularly the zero issues, which are coming soon) but some of the dialogue in this issue feels clunkily expository, like when Superman reminds his fiancée Lois and quasi-family member Supergirl that the Kents “may not have been {his} genetic parents, but they’re real as they come”, or later when Superman explains to Jor-El and Lara (and the reader) about Krypton’s explosion, and the Matrix chamber rocketship.

They kinda gloss over whether there was any fallout about being wrong about Krypton exploding, though I suppose it was more about Jen-Em stabilizing the core rather than Jor being wrong. [Max: "Krypton is gonna blow up, guys" is definitely a meme among the current Kryptonian generation because the scientists did such a great job stopping it, like Y2K or the hole in the ozone layer here.]

Have we ever seen a post-Crisis Kryptonian depicted as having anything but black hair? [Max: I'm pretty sure there were some non-black haired ones in World of Krypton, but it's hard to tell with the eyebrow-less, nun habit-wearing ones. It's possible they made other hair colors go away once they got all into eugenics, though.]

It’s interesting that this alternate Krypton goes one step further than Byrne’s origin, regarding the Els.  In Byrne’s history, Jor-El was a rebel in his society because he had actual affection for his lifemate, Lara.  The notion of natural conception and birth goes even further than that, and was explored in the Man of Steel film, where (spoiler alert?) Kal himself was the first child naturally conceived in love in generations.

This issue also reveals that the familiar robes and headpieces worn by Jor-El and Lara aren’t simply traditional garb, they’re referred to as life support suits.

Though the Kents are worried about losing Clark to his Kryptonian parents, Jonathan is all man, which explains why he picks this particular moment to go to second base with his elderly wife. [Max: He instinctively wanted to get working on a replacement son, forgetting he's been shooting blanks since youth...]

While Superman cries in anguish at seeing his biological parents detonate, Metron simply refers to them as “unfortunates”.  All heart, that one.

WIP Wednesday

Technically Thursday for me already, but whatever! 🤣

I was tagged by the lovely @rainbow-nerdss to share a snippet from a WIP, so have a blurb from a "Steve gets vecna'd" idea that's been bouncing in my skull for a while. I'm currently writing a scene from it for the @steddieholidaydrabbles. I'm collaborating with the amazing @house-of-the-moving-image on some of these, so there'll even be art!!! 🤩

Steve's fingers twitch in the grass and Eddie's gaze flies to his face, half expecting to find his eyes wide open and sightless, half expecting him to start floating again and fuck, what will he do, he can't do shit, please, God, he can't-

But Steve’s eyes are closed, his face relaxed. Eddie sighs in relief. Then, following a sudden impulse, he reaches out and tucks the daisy into Steve's hair. 

He's no hero and he can't do anything to protect him, but he can make sure he rests while he can, can make sure he has music and beauty and sunlight surrounding him. It's what he deserves.

He deserves so much more.

The harsh snap of the tape ending almost makes him jump out of his skin. Steve flinches awake with an adorable little snort, hand flying up to pull the headphones off. His eyes dart around wildly for a second or two before they land on Eddie and he sags back to the ground. 

"Hey," he smiles, voice still sleep-slurred and hoarse. "Sorry, did I doze off?" 

The flower is still in his hair. 

Eddie snorts, pillows his arms on his knees so that he can hide behind them. 

"Are you kiddin' me, dude? You can sleep all you want." 

Steve hums vaguely and props himself up on one elbow, busies himself with opening the walkman and turning the tape. 

"Feels wrong though," he mutters. "Y’know… just chilling here while the kids-" 

"Stevie," Eddie says. Maybe it comes out a bit too harsh, because those pretty eyes blink up at him, confused and a bit hurt. He groans.

"The kids are old enough," he then continues, more softly. "They have Wheeler and Buckley with them. Not to mention Supergirl. You don't have to-" 

"-babysit them anymore, I know." Steve flops back into the grass, worries his bottom lip between his teeth. "I still feel useless, though." 

They stay silent for a while. The wind is getting chillier, now that the sun is dipping behind the trees, and Eddie is starting to shiver in his flannel. 

"Thank you, though," Steve mumbles. "For staying around, I appreciate it."

He sounds so small and lost and scared. Eddie plucks another flower so he won't have to look at his face. Hopes that Supergirl will tear Vecna's shrivelled black heart out through his ass and squish it under her shoe like a bug.

Tagging @sailing-through-hawkins @vegasol @rozzieroos - zero pressure, all the love ❤️

November Comics Round-Up

Lets goooo!! Starting out with the Fourth World we love to see it!!

Action Comics (409-443) (1972-1975)

Action is starting to use characters and events from Superman and vice versa! Exciting to see. Attention! Issue 440 has Krypto & Green Arrow backup! Important! He's lost his memories and Dinah names him Demian! He's extremely cute!

Superman (248-283) (1972-1975)

They really doubled down on the "every six years on their birthday kryptonians go thru The Agonies due to cultural sadness reasons" But! We do now know that Kal's kryptonian birthday is the 35th of Eorx, and Clark's earth birthday is June 18th! Also we've gotten more into the significance of headbands on krypton, but it is specifically noted as a gender neutral origin (this is important for future reasons).

Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen (140-163) (1971-1974)

Holy shit they revived Lucy Lane as an old lady with like three issues left to go what. Okay two issues to go and they deaged her again (but kept the silver hair) (but she still dumped him). Also, there's a "Jimmy had doubles" storyline and it's like everyone has forgot that there was quite a large storyline just two years ago about Jimmy and and his clones. Luthor is explaining what a clone is all over again. The end of the Jimmy Olsen run! They deffo were not expecting it, there was a blurb for "find out in future issues". Overall I'd say that it's a pretty unnecessary read, except for the Kirby bits, unless you really want a Jimmy deep dive. You get a good view of Jimmy as a man of action which isn't really obvious in the main super comics.

Forever People (1-11) (1971-1972)

I have solidified Forever People as my fave part of fourth world (I love u Scott and Barda, but!) Like, sure the storylines are sorta disjointed, and there's an odd little Deadman detour, but I love these kids so much, they are my children!

New Gods (1-11) (1971-1972)/Even Gods Must Die! (1984)/The Hunger Dogs (1985)

Last time I was reading the fourth world, I didn't realize that the 84 run was just reprints with the concluding chapter at the end, so I read it a couple of months after the rest of new gods. It does indeed make more sense when you read it as a part of new gods. Also this is the first time that I've read hunger dogs, and it was fun in that apocryphal way. It is being sad about Essak hours tho!

Mister Miracle (1-18) (1971-1974)

A little after I read this i was watching a truly iconic piece of 90s television that explains how magic tricks work, and everytime they did an escape trick I was like "escape trick?? Like my boy? This is just like my boy!" Of course Barda and Oberon are better assistants than all of those dancing skinny goths combined, so there is that. Shilo is my baby boy, and it got me excited all over again that he becomes Mr Miracle in the early 90s.

Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane (119-137) (1972-1974)

I'm really liking the thorn and rose backups and how they often cross over a bit with lois's own adventures. 1972 sees Lois quitting the planet to be a freelance writer after Lucy is revealed to be working for the 100 (!!) and dies (!?!?!). They also put her into a roommate situation with three other women which does have its moments (and also it's bads, 70s stop being fatphobic challenge). There's something really fucked up about Lucy being brought back to life in Jimmy and never showing up in Lois. And with that its the end of the Lois Lane solo! For this one at least they new the end was coming, with a note for lois showing up in the super family mag.

Supergirl (1-10) (1973-1974)

Kara goes to gradschool! She's got into a drama program at a place near San Francisco! This makes sooo much more sense rereading it after reading the rest of supergirl's history!

Superman Family (164-174) (1974-1976)

Okay I am eating my words re: Jimmy getting canceled, this superfam run takes up where his left off at issue 164. Also, I am getting slightly annoyed about everyone jerking Kara around meta-wise. She went to undergrad for ??? (never revealed) got a job as a camera operator for a news show, then they dropped that for her solo, putting her in a graduate drama program and now that her solo's over she's getting a job as a highschool advisor??? And wanting to quit being supergirl with absolutely minimal lead up. Like... have even an ounce of consistency for her! Lena is back though! So she still exists! Then, extremely confusingly the issue after her issue Jimmy has to deal with a small blond psychic boy named Val, who, despite all these traits being exactly the same, is Not Lena's son Val. (Btw Lucy has not showed back up)

World's Finest Comics (210-227) (1972-1975)

I'm generally pretty lukewarm about the imaginary superman jr and batman jr stories... but man.... 222 was one of the grossest, most racist things I've ever read. Its like. Bad bad. Bob Haney when I get you.....

Superboy (182-206) (1972-1975)

Superboy has become comboed with the Legion! Very fun, I like that the members are actually calling each other by name now, too. Also I love Luornu's wedding outfit it's awesome. They just killed off Lyle, what?? Hey. Hey hey hey. As long as we are talking about cloning ethics. What the fuck. Superboy 206 what the fuck.

Adventure Comics (415-437) (1972-1975)

This has gone from Supergirl to an anthology once more! Got to see the origin of black orchid, then it went to Spectre stories with aquaman backups. The Spectre is soooo fun these days he's murdering anyone in horrifying new ways all the time! Garth is still nameless, but the artist is also drawing him like he's 30 (I'm so sorry buddy go back to Scotland).

The Brave and the Bold (100-116) (1972-1975)

Batman gets shot in the heart and is inches from death in one issue and it literally is never mentioned again that's the biggest issue i have with this series is that they know it has a low readership compared to the flagship titles so basically nothing that happens in them matters except maybe to the supporting character with no regular mag appearances. Okay, now a few issues later he's been shot in the chest AGAIN and also has sold his soul to the devil?? And the devil is maybe Hitler?? Buddy.... comics.... what.

Teen Titans (38-42) (1972-1973)

Okay, Garth is at college near Loch Ness and he's wearing a kilt as part of the uniform and i don't care if this is never ever mentioned again this is a cornerstone Garth moment for me. I've made it to the TT hiatus! Things don't quite line up right timeline wise, but I actually put snowbirds don't fly here as far as TT goes. It just makes sense for me that there is just one more support system ended as part of Roy's spiral. I sorta sorta head cannon that he started with painkillers a while back, and then after the peace prize winner is killed that spiraled into more serious use and maybe even starting the heroin, then things get a little better in the Jupiter era when they give themselves their uniforms back, but then they fall apart/drift away and he super falls apart, cause Ollie has gone off at the same time.

The Phantom Stranger (18-34) (1972-1975)

Love that Cassandra and the Stranger have adopted Tannerac as their pet villain and he's just like ??? ??? about everything they do, like hold his hand and save his life. I cannot believe that not one issue after I was getting all excited about this polycule they killed off Tannerac and sent off Cassandra believing that the stranger was dead too. Can't have shit in DC. Now its more and more it's falling into "satanic panic was right" bullshit I'm so tired.

All-Star Western/Weird Western Tales (10-33) (1972-1976)

Little known fact, ever since I first saw the Jonah Hex episode of BtAS I have been low-key obsessed with him, so now I'm picking up the Hex run! Jonah is the OG tsundere it is absolutely ridiculous I love him. I can't believe they have him a wolf buddy and then killed him off not two issues later, so rude. Also, El Diablo is here too, but this ain't about him. So Jonah wears the confederate uniform but also it was teased for a while that he betrayed them in a big way, leading to a large union victory, but honestly I thought that the reveal of what actually happened was pretty.... lukewarm. I know mainstream opinions on the civil war were way more forgiving back then but it was still disappointing.

Shazam! (1-16) (1973-1975)

Excited for Billy time!! V amused that the 20 year break in comics is an in-universe 20 year break as well, with the Marvels and the Sivanas on suspended animation. It is disappointing that it's aimed at younger audiences and is determined to ape the golden age storytelling as well as art.

And that's that for November. Did I think that I had an extra day? Yes. And I Do Not, so here's how the spreadsheet is looking now:

[incorrectgallaghergirlsquotes]

Will you ever write about how Rachel fell for Joe? Please even just a blurb we need some solomon love rn

Oh, of course! Those two are the slow burn that keeps burning apparently. They love, they pine, they ignore their feelings, they repeat.

Now, as you might know, this blog is about incorrect quotes in the Gallagher Girls universe. So, before we get to how I think Rachel really falls for Joe, I’d like to direct you to this exchange (that honestly isn’t far off from how I really think it happened):

This would be after Joe wakes up from his coma, but before they tell him about Matt. Bold dialogue from Supergirl.

He’d woken up a few times now and each time Rachel was there. Always the first thing he saw. Always coming into focus, easily. This time, however, as she became clearer he thought she looked sadder than she had previously. She wasn’t looking directly at him, rather past him, as if she was lost in thought. In a scratchy voice, he asked if she was okay, bringing her attention to him.

She adjusted her expression quickly, assuring him she was fine. He didn’t believe her, but it’s not like he was in a position to argue. She stood up, fluffing his pillows that didn’t need it.

“Rachel,” he tried again. This time, she paused. Probably because he’d brought his hand up to brush her arm. It was the most he’d moved so far. She kept her eyes on his outstretched hand as she sat back down. With her face closer to his level now his hand was able to reach the ends of her hair. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” she repeated. She reached over him, now smoothing his blankets. His hand fell away as she was kind of over him, the ends of her hair reaching his covered chest.

“You know,” he started, sounding like he might be going back to sleep again. “You look beautiful. The weight of all these worlds on your shoulders.”

“You don’t have to make me feel better-,” Rachel said. At least she tried to. He was in the hospital bed, she should make him feel better. But as she turned her face to tell him exactly that he managed to lean forward.

And kiss her.

Full thing on ao3 ;)

[findroleplay]

[ 26, she/her] Hey there!☀️ I’m looking for a writing partner to write predominantly supergirl or legends of tomorrow plots. Characters I play: Sara Lance, Lena Luthor, Kara Danvers, but I’m most interested in trying to write more Kara lately if anyone is interested! I prefer to only write WLW ships, and I rp over discord or in tumblr dm’s. I can write a couple paragraphs per response, but I tend to match the length of whatever my partner is comfortable with no matter how much or less, but at least a little blurb is great to progress the plot. I can reply a good few times a day over the mobile dm’s or discord format, and I only rp with 21+ please. Like this if interested and I’ll send you a message!

Hi! If you’re still taking requests, can you do one with Mon-el’s first Christmas with the reader? Thank you!

first christmas | mon-el

notes: okay, i tried to do a full fic with this request but no matter how many times i rewrote it, something wasn't clicking so instead i present to you a short but sweet little headcanon!

and yes, i'm aware this is a gif of kai parker but it fit the christmas theme more than any mon-el gifs that i saw.

anyway, i hope you enjoy!

library

It was his first Christmas and you wanted it to be special

You wanted it to be one that he would remember forever and love so you went out and bought everything you needed to make it special

You bought decorations, gifts, and ingredients to bake all your favorite Christmas sweets- and found some Zakarian Ale for him

He's been trying to find that drink for months but was always unlucky

"Will he like it?" You asked Kara, placing all the drinks in the fridge. "I mean... all the decorations and stuff,"

You wave your hands around you to gesture to the apartment that was lit up with all kinds of Christmas lights

"He'll love it," the Kryptonian reassures you. "And if he doesn't... I will break his face,"

"No threatening her boyfriend, Kara." Alex scolded from the kitchen, a beer in her hand.

"You threaten him all the time." J'onn deadpans

Alex stares at him for a moment before mumbling incoherent excuses

"Point is, he'll love it."

"Fingers crossed." You mumbled

You wanted this to go right because Mon-El deserved an amazing first Christmas and he was going to get it

Nothing could ruin it- you wouldn't allow it

༻✦༺

You picked Mon-El up from the DEO early Christmas morning and took him to breakfast at Noonan's

You both got an order of peppermint hot chocolate and sticky buns which he practically swallowed whole until you told him to slow down and just enjoy it

After he finally slowed down enough to appreciate the sticky buns, he was groaning in delight at the taste of the sweet food

The hot chocolate received the same response

"I have something for you," You told him during breakfast and reached into your bag to grab a small velvet box and passed it to him

He raised an eyebrow at you, tentatively taking it from your grasp

"It's not going to hurt you, Mon-El, it's a Christmas gift."

"Oh, I... I didn't get you any- anythin-"

You hold up a hand to stop him, "It's okay, being able to make your first Christmas special is enough. Now, open it!"

He smiles and carefully pulls it open, his brows knitting together when he see's the item

"A key?"

"It's to my apartment. I know you're getting tired of living at the DEO so... I want you to come live with me."

His mouth opens agape, not believing your words

Mon-El knew how much you valued your own space and couldn't believe you were willingly asking him to invade that space

"Are... are you sure?"

"One hundred percent. Now, hurry up. We have a date at the ski hill."

༻✦༺

Maybe taking him to the ski hill wasn't the best idea considering that he was still learning how to handle his powers

It took him less than five minutes to break some of the ski's and that was all the motivation you needed to get him out of there

"I didn't mean to break it!" He laughed behind you

You hid a smile and turned to face him, your hand reaching for his

"I know but! We can't risk you breaking anything else so we'll just go back to the apartment and have everyone over earlier,"

Mon-El nodded and followed you silently as you walked towards the bus stop and pulled out your phone to text Kara

༻✦༺

Leading Mon-El into your now shared apartment, you watched his face closely

Everything in you wanted him to love it and the smile that spread across his face told you that he did

"Whoa, this is... this is- Is that Zakarian Ale?!" He rushes over to the counter where the drinks were

A giggle passed your lips at his reaction

"How did you find this?" He turns back to you

"I know people."

He places the bottle back on the counter and walks back over to you, a smile tugging on his lips

"Do you now?"

"Uh huh, now come on. I have a couple things for you."

Dragging him into the living room, his face lit up at the sight of the Christmas tree

He can't remember the last time he felt this much joy looking a tree with colorful lights around it and shiny balls around them

"Mon-El, do you like it?"

"I love it. No one has ever gone through this much trouble for me,"

"You were the prince of Daxam, yes they have."

He waves his hand as if to ignore your words. "Yeah, but they were forced to do all that by my parents. You did all this just because."

You didn't realize until this moment that it was true, everyone on Daxam was forced to worship him and it wasn't until he got to earth that he was treated like some other person and not a prince

"I wanted your first Christmas to be special."

"It is. Thank you, Y/N," He turns hid body towards you and cups one of your cheeks in his hand. "I... I love you,"

You smile brightly, your heart skipping a beat

Hearing someone say I love you felt foreign to you as nobody but your family and friends have said it, anybody you've loved romantically has never loved you back

"You do? You aren't... you aren't joking, right?"

He looks confused at your question before he remembers you telling him how everyone you've loved romantically never felt the same, his heart sinks

"I'm completely serious. You make every day on this planet worth it and I'm so happy just to know you."

"I love you so much," You whispered

He smiles and finally presses his lips to yours

Pulling away, you let a smile take over your face

"Merry Christmas, Mon-El."

"Merry Christmas, Y/N,"

[oneshotnewbie]

A little blurb with Kara Danvers, maybe something about betrayal please?

---

"Y/n! Please open the door, I know you're home." did you hear Kara screaming behind the door while she pleadingly banged her fist against the hard wood; almost pulling it off it's hinges. With tears in your eyes, you took another sip of your scotch and carefully placed the glass on the table before you pushed yourself off the sofa you were sitting on and moved towards the door.

Your heavy feet made the laminate crack under you before it went quiet again. You stood still in front of the door, one hand on the handle while the other rested flat on it - two voices in your head arguing whether you should open or keep it closed.

"Please."

A deep breath drawn through your lungs, you teared open the door and your girlfriend appeared in front of you, her eyes glittering in the light of your hallway- her mascara slightly smeared.

She must have cried too.

Kara found herself staring into your angry, bloodshot and glassy eyes. You had your arms crossed over your chest, almost showing her that she wasn't welcomed but without a word, the blonde stepped into your apartment, not taking her eyes off of you. The blonde followed your movements, trying to figure out what was going on inside your mind, but practically already knowing every single thought.

She knew that she was in the wrong, she should have confessed to you who she really was at the beginning of your relationship, just like she did with James and Winn. She knew that you would figure it out someday, but hadn’t expected that it would come so suddenly and wrong.

„What was the problem?“ you asked, your voice croaked in the middle of the sentence, breaking the unbearable silence in the room that was haunting both of you and Kara could tell that her girlfriend was on the verge of crying. Before she could answer in any way, you continued. "Six months. Six whole months and you lied to me every single day. Why?"

The blonde could feel the knot in her throat forming bigger. She didn't know what to say because in the end, she knew it didn't matter to you. You wouldn't believe it anyway and that killed her inside.

"I know that you are upset with me but-" and once again you interrupted her, you just couldn't stand her voice and her being there at the moment. „Who even are you?"

Kara´s features changed abruptly. Her pressed lips were now wide open while her eyes started to cover with tears as she stared at you in disbelief. She had no idea what to answer - your sentence had thrown her off course.

She broke out of her brief stupor and walked towards you full of expectation. Putting your hands in hers, she gripped them tightly and tried to catch your gaze, but to no avail. You looked desperately at her warm hands and the tears that fell on them and mixed together with hers.

"Please, Y/n. Don't do that." Fearfully, her heart was beating wildly in her chest so that you could even feel it in your hands. Gently she pulled your chin towards hers and wiped away individual tears that ran down your face. She was relieved when you let her do that without facing away - she took that as a good sign but her heart broke at your sight.

She never wanted to hurt you or even make you cry, she had sworn that to herself from the start.

"I need to time to think." you whispered and let go of her grip. Without looking at her, you turned around and let her stand there alone, while you walked back towards the couch where you picked up your half-full glass and drank the contents with one gulp.

"What do you mean by that?"

"You've hurt me and it feels like a betrayal, Kara. What do you think I mean by that?" you screamed and stared at her with a stiff but intrusive look. Kara was shocked at your behavior and was afraid of the next sentence that left your mouth. More tears started to leave her shimmering blue eyes. "I need time to find out whether I can and want this anymore."

[from-a-reckless-writer]

okay but i feel like lena luthor is the type to read naked in bed when she’s home alone, cos she likes the feel of the sheets on her skin and also it’s kind of a therapeutic way to just shed her stone-cold ceo persona even if only for a day and i keep thinking of kara just bursting in through lena’s apartment because she spilled something on her shirt and lena’s place is closer to catco than her own home and she just really really needs a new shirt and she knows she’s got that blue floral blouse stashed in one of lena’s drawers somewhere and like she’s got lena’s permission to crash there anytime anyway so she’ll just tell her best friend that it was a wardrobe emergency she’ll just fly in at l-corp later and tell lena and so she barges in flying through the bedroom window and just stops. full body freeze shirt stained full on staring, eyes widening, jaw dropping, heart stopping, breath ceasing all the fucking cliche in the book because there, on the bed is lena luthor, naked, legs on full display, t*ddies out, book in hand, initial shock and surprise slowly turning to  a smirk, brow raising, “need something, supergirl?”

[karaslittlesunshine]

You alright? Do you want to talk about it?

Maybe for a blurb idea, where little!reader is too too little to talk and just naps on Lena while she works?

Or Lena even joins her little one for a nap after a long day of work and finding reader on her couch?

I'm not sure i'm alright at all, but i'm trying to keep going right now. thank you so much for sending this in <3 i hope you like it

word count: 309

☀️🧸🍄

You woke up that morning feeling extra little, it took a moment or two for Lena to realise and quickly adjust the way she was talking to you, but she was a natural.

“I see I have my tiny one this morning,” you gurgled and laughed as she lifted you to a sitting position. It took a lot of strength for you to keep up right. Lena slipped a pacifier in your mouth, tutting as she moved your fingers away.

Lena turned on your favourite show you liked when you were at this baby-age and made sure you were in her view as she got ready for work.

Soon the brunette was dressed, and her hair and make-up were done, she came back over to you on the bed.

“You want a baba, sweet one?” You whined and just reached up at her. You weren’t hungry at all; you just wanted your mommy.

“Darling, mommy has to go to work today.” Lena had already called in sick for you, and Kara already had the day off, so she offered to come over and take care of you for the day.

“Mamamamaaaa!” you started crying and reaching for her. After very little debate, Lena texted Kara and before you knew it, you were strapped into your car seat and on your way to L-Corp.

Lena let Jess know to not bother her today unless it was an emergency before she sat down at her desk and positioned you to snuggle into her.

“Go sleepies little love, mommys got you.”

Soon enough you were napping, soft snores escaping your lips as drool began leaking onto Lena’s collarbone.

Lena took a moment away from her work to just run her hand over your hair and admire how sweet and little you were, and how lucky she was to hold you like this.
