Well it’s that night. I started watching Supergirl back when it first premiered, and as the seasons went on, my interest slowly faded. Now this happened with a few of the other Arrowverse shows. But still, I eventually stopped watching Supergirl and discovered a new way to watch, something I still do to this day:
tumblr viewing. AKA, I see what happens in the gifs/recaps some people make on here to see what happened in the latest episode.
Through this and watching an episode here and there towards the latter seasons, it finally clicked for me. I saw what majority of fans have been seeing since the very beginning.
I never disliked the idea of it, it was just never on my radar. I watched Supergirl mainly for crossover events, the acting (because the cast is all fucking great), and the storylines when it was compelling.
But after the season 5 premiere, with the “confession” scene between Lena and Kara, I just knew: these aren’t *just* best friends. This is more. Kara and Lena are/have been written as love interests. The lengths they have gone for one another, the emotions each displayed at the thought of losing each other, the anger and hurt each felt when betrayed by the other.
That’s not *just* best friends. That’s romantic love.
Now I write this because I’ve been, “behind the scenes” in a way, watching people analyze Supercorp, the gifs, the fan fiction, and all the reactions to episodes I haven’t seen.
I wanted to post something, showing my support, that even though I haven’t been necessarily a *part* of the Supergirl viewership these last few seasons, I wanted to wish all of the Supercorp shippers luck tonight, as this is the day the series finale is airing.
I’m not sure if we will get Supercorp endgame, but I hope it happens, because I know how much people adore them. And fuck would that make their past moments even better.
Best of luck tonight Supercorp shippers! I’ll do what I have been, check tumblr after the episode airs and see if Kara and Lena get their happy ending. Together. Romantic-stylez.
And if it doesn’t? Well there’s always fanfiction right?
