imo fanon Astra is usually an upgrade, fanon Cat Grant is often a downgrade, and fanon Lucy is split

[unnecessary-database]

Lucy in canon: kind of a frazzled mess but with the style to match Cat Grant, superbly overqualified and doesn’t know what she wants, thinks Too Much about her constant fights with her father, career centric and happy about it, maybe looked at Alex once but spends a decent amount of time in the beginning hung up on James

Lucy in fanon: bisexual disaster with more sass than mass, does not appear in fic without asking for a piggyback or being made fun of for her height, usually in love with Alex or a side character in a steady if dull relationship with James, Lena’s best friend somehow, dad who?

fic author Never Have I Ever

Send me an ask about whether I’ve written a thing [ship, trope, dynamic, category of fandom, etc.] and if I’ve written it, I’ll link you. If I haven’t written it, I’ll tell you how I would write it if I did.

...I can’t be the only one in the supergirl fandom who remembers the time Jeremy Jordan was trying to save his cousin from conversion camp (she was okay, btw)

which in and of itself ought to be enough to know that it’s more complicated than him simply being a massive unrepentant homophobe or something

not to say he didn’t overstep and that fans aren’t within their rights to be upset, but actions speak louder than words, as they say

[roryteller]

I can do enemies-to-lovers if them being enemies isn’t personal, you know? But rivals-to-lovers is even better because you get all this tension, which I think is what people like in enemies-to-lovers, but it’s about like... sports, or academics, or being the best secret agent, or something and not about killing people. So it’s better, and even after they become friends or lovers they can still be rivals! Usually.

And there’s so much UST built into the whole ‘you are my only worthy opponent’ scenario, and so many opportunities for them to develop a grudging respect.

So it goes bitter rivals -> grudging respect -> you are my only worthy rival -> friends but still rivals -> friends but still rivals (that wanna bone) -> relationship (or fwb) but still compete

[mjwatson]

are u a friends to lovers or enemies to lovers shipper? are you a slow burn or a fast paced shipper? are u a THEY-CAN-ONLY-BE-WITH-EACH-OTHER or a SHIP-THEM-WITH-ALL-THE-PEOPLE shipper?

[Image is a banner with text overlaying a picture of sunlight filtering through tree leaves and branches. The text reads: Polyshipping Day - June 1st]

What is Polyshipping Day?

A 24-hour celebration of OT3+es and positive portrayals of polyamory in fandom occurring on the 1st of every month. Give neglected polyships some love! Resolve love triangles “the right way”. Portray massive poly cuddle piles of people who all love each other. Platonic threesomes where all partners feel important and it’s not trashy male gaze MFF “the girls just wanna please their man” crap. Weave intricate polycules that span a team or a whole community. Show non-mutual polyamory (A+B, B+C, but not A+C) and open relationships in a healthy, non-adulterous light. Spread the <83!

This is open to all fandoms and to original works, and to any degree and content rating you wish. Sexual, romantic, queerplatonic - any form of polyamorous/polygamous relationship is welcome and loved here. Just keep it positive, healthy, and consensual.

All of the content posted on Polyshipping Day gets queued up for reblogging on the Polyshipping Day blog during the month, and added to tags by fandom within the blog to help you find your favorite polyships any time.

How do I participate?

If you have no ideas for something to make, of course our prompts tag is always a great resource. Additionally, for June’s Polyshipping Day the optional theme is going to be “Jam”.  Does your polyship have to contend with a traffic jam, meet the deadline for a creative jam, or maybe just buy some jam for their toast? The direction you want to take it is up to you!

Whether you create something within the theme or not, we accept all forms of media, including:

Fanfiction

Fanart

Playlists/fanmixes

AMVs

Askbox games/mini-prompts

Cosplay photos or videos

Image/photo sets

Spend the day taking requests or commissions

Other things I’m sure we haven’t thought of!

And of course, original works and works not in English are more than welcome too. It’s always exciting to see Polyshipping Day branch out further and further!

Whatever you create, just put it in the #polyshipping day tag (don’t worry, we track #polyshippingday too, just in case) or submit it straight to the blog!

But I’m not a content creator or I don’t have much time.

No worries! There are plenty of ways you can participate, such as:

Create fic or art recc lists

Reblog polyshipping content, both new and old

Set up your queue to reblog polyshipping content

Share headcanons

Fill out askbox games or create new ones

Suggest blogs for the incredibly incomplete Polyshipping Directory

Help get the word out!

The more the merrier should be the obvious theme here, so we’d love help getting as many fandoms involved in Polyshipping Day as possible!

Any other rules I should know about?

We try to keep it simple, but there are a few:

Content should be new - it doesn’t have to be something you made this month or specifically for Polyshipping Day, but it should be something that’s not appeared on the blog before.

Please only post your own content, except, obviously, for reblogs.

If you really want to share something and can’t find it on tumblr, try to get the creator’s permission first, and regardless, post it as a link to the source. If the site in question has an official Tumblr posting button like AO3 does, please use that.

Please tag your not safe for work for the benefit of those scrolling through the tags (protip: use // after the tag if you’re worried about spambots)

This blog is technically PG-13, so anything that is obviously pornographic or very gory should be behind a read more if we’re going to reblog it.

If you’re posting up more than three things to the tag, especially all for the same fandom, try to spread them out over the day instead of posting them all at once.

If you’d like to put a post in the polyshipping day tag but not have the blog  add it to the queue, just put a tag to the effect of #pday no

Official cutoff time is around midnight between the 2nd and 3rd Pacific Time - anything posted after that will be drafted to be posted the next month instead.

Feel free to message us if you have any questions not answered here!

Now get out there and spread the word! <83

i cant believe we never got guardian and supergirl working together and kara starting to fall for this mysterious person and it feels very familiar. she was taking time to find a balance in her life and let james go because she was confused but then guardian reveals his identity and kara realizes no matter what it was always going to be james for her.

[fantastic-reading-world]

The most relatable tweet for every fandom ever!

[roryteller]

The difference between Astra and Lillian Luthor, and the reason that I would have been into a redemption arc for Astra but not for Lillian is that Astra was someone who did bad, even terrible things for understandable reasons--she wanted to save the Earth from massive environmental destruction, whereas Lillian has been doing bad, even terrible things in the service of what is ultimately a terrible goal, based on bigotry--she wants all aliens gone, or dead.

The other reason is that Astra genuinely cared for Kara, and protected her from Non (the Black Mercy incident), while Lillian has been nothing but emotionally manipulative and (in the past) neglectful towards Lena.

You don’t have to agree with me, but I’m personally a lot more interested in the redemption of a character like Astra than one like Lillian.

I love how Kara Danvers and Lena Luthor’s ship is called SuperCorp but how exactly did we miss the chance of calling them Luvers?

[worldkilller]

FUCK

me, analyzing feelings and motivations of fictional characters:

me, trying to understand myself and my feelings:

[scribefindegil]

i have two approaches to canon

So if we extrapolate from this one-off line in episode fifteen, as well as this tweet by the creator and the answers given at this comic con panel from 2014, we can infer that this character’s relationship with salad is more complex than it first appears …

*pulls down sunglasses and points a flamethrower at the source material* Death of the author, baby.

[roryteller]

Okay but who wants to bet that Lena did a lot of Grief Baking after it became clear that Lex was up to no good
