everyone has a ship thats just: theyre perfect. they hate each other. theyre married. they havent spoken in 15 years. they have date nights three times a week. theyre divorced. theyre pining, its unrequited. its requited. theyre starcrossed. theyre meant to be. theyre doomed by the narrative. they love each other. theyve never held hands. they wont stop making out at parties. they cant look each other in the eye

supergirl spoilers //

someone on twitter just said kara didn’t actually care about the child trafficking part and her only motivation was krypto.

as if she didn’t spend time she could have spent beating krem’s ass to get the antidote freeing all of his child brides.

as if she didn’t find one of their bodies and clearly decided then that he needed to die.

kara is bad at expressing her feelings but she clearly cared about those little girls and took valuable time to make sure they went free.

media literacy has never been more dead.

To me, the most compelling scene in the new Supergirl was when Kara speaks with her father after seeing that he is making her an escape pod. The dialogue is in Kryptonian. And that is the most poignant and elegant dialogue in the film to me. Kara's lines and the emotion put into her saying to him, "I am only one tiny life," and her calm, clear articulation of her vision of herself being allowed to die beside her people and her mother and father was so profound and existential. And when he explains why they need to her live, you know she would agree. The price, the sheer weight, the endless gravity of that is so obvious. I am honestly not used to that depth in these superhero films. Both her desire and that of her parents felt so authentic. That conveyed tragedy and profound love. An impossible situation. A critical, defining experience. That was the heart of her character to me. When she flew up into space to scream in silence, that was a compelling image. That dialogue, though, hit me deep in my soul. This film would have been worth it for that exchange alone for me. I just can't think of anything I've seen that was like that before.

Writing isn't the hobby. Being insane about little fake people is the hobby. Writing is just the only outlet i have for that

i get so emotional every time i think about fanfic culture. it's just so beautiful that people are writing and anonymously posting these thousand-word stories about characters we all love and not even getting any money or public fame from it. it's literally just for the love of the game.

shout out to everyone who participates in fanfic culture, be it reading or writing fanfics. you are contributing to such a lovely thing <3

"The idea made me horny" is a good enough reason to write anything.

[poetatwelve]

"B-But what if it's wrong to be horny for it, and everyone thinks I'm weird for liking it?" It's fanfiction. We're all weird, go write it. You'll just find your fellow freaks.
