20 questions for fic writers

Just because i saw it and wanted to 😂

How many works do you have on ao3?

138

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

2,336,801

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Started with Warehouse 13 and bering and wells, then wandered into OUAT and Swanqueen, then DWP and Mirandy, then a stint in Pitch Perfect 2 specifically for Becommissar because mmm Kommissar, a blip into Supergirl some for Supercat, more for General Danvers (tangentially also Supercorp but that's more for the fact that I run the chirstmas exchange than anything, love those kids, not my usual ship), and a crossover or two with Legends of Tomorrow with Supercanaary in there too in that same era, two seconds in ot3 shipping in The Greatest Showman because Jenny Lind mhm, one fic in Steven Universe because poly!diamonds, then into Harry Potter for anything to do with the Black Sisters and Hermione and occasionally Lucius which is still on going, but a bit backburnered because I've also fallen into writing fic for The Librarians this year centered around some pairing of Cassandra, Eve and Jenkins for the most part. Basically. It's a lot, and a lot of bouncing around between larger eras in specific fandoms lol.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Ask me No Questions (I'll Tell You No Lies) [HP Hermione/Narcissa/Anathema], Heaven When We're Home [HP Hermione/Narcissa], By All Accounts [Supergirl, Supercorp (apprciate you guys but I'm still confused by that😂)], Coffee Shops and Vigilantes [Supergirl/Legends of Tomorrow, Supercanary], Sincerely Yours [HP Hermione scores a hat trick]

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to as much as possible, especially in smaller fandoms. Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed at it falls by the wayside, but I come back eventually.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Uhhhhhh there's usually one in every fandom I stay in for long enough where I just go full nuclear angst and no happy ending. Probably the worst of the worst Offenders is "I Hate to Kill You (I Hate to Die)" for obvious reasons if you've read it, but "of all the things I never told you" and "Halfway Through the Woods" are also up there and in probably last place but still *very* angsty is "Better This Way"

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Hard to pick. Save for those fics I'm a happy ending hoe. Probably the most rewarding happy ending will be for "The Sun Must Set to Rise" but that isn't published yet. I'm actually procrastinating the wrap up that story right now by doing this 😂😅

8. Do you get hate on fic?

Out right "you suck" hate? Once or twice. But there has been whining in the past on my stories about how I never finish anything or that I update too slow and why am I like this. *Those comments get responded to with some lessons in manners*

9. Do you write smut?

*looks at the tab beside Sun Must Set to Rise* I have no idea what you're talking about. But yeah, some pwp but a lot of smut as the pay off in long fics to put that cherry on top of them.

10. Do you write crossovers?

Have before, though they aren't my main thing, and unclear if Supergirl/Legends counts since like. The shows actually did that themselves once a season 😂

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I think I ended up on a scraping website that people posted about on tumblr all of once. Not mad about not having to fight that lol.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I've had people ask before, but they're on different databases than ao3 so I haven't really checked on how that went for them.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Several! Two of my closest fandom friends have cowritten with me and one IRL friend. Some of them got finished, others did not, but it was fun along the way.

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

??????? I know there are people out there who have stuck in one fandom and only one fandom for longer than I've been writing and they definitely have the answer to this, but I have ADHD and doooooo not. If I had to pick at gunpoint, I'd probably say Harry Potter Hat Trick, but unless you point a gun at me I'm not answering.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but probably won’t?

Probably "Sometimes it's Soft Hands and Mailing Envelopes" it was a big part of my life in 2015 and I obsessed over it and wrote it and its sequel at such a fast pace, especially for going into my senior year of college. But I've reread the prequel and it's cute and I started reading it over again and just went 'I know where I wanted this to go, I can see how I would get there, I don't want to do that though' because it's a very slice of life story about moving in with your girlfriend and both you and your girlfriend navigating a new job/grad school and I've lived both of those experiences now, and especially I do not want to relive grad school, but also I don't usually write long slice of life things anymore. Sci-fi/fantasy and plot heavy for lyfe lol. But I do wish I had finished it at the time.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think over arching plot, like I'm good at fitting the pieces together where they need to go to make a believable story, which is good when you tend towards writing more mystery-esque 'solve a problem' fic. Also dialogue as a secondary. There is no struggle here to make these bitches say words.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I have DEBILITATING wordy bitch disease. This could be managed if I edited stories before posting them, but I don't. I'm doing well to edit my original work, thanks. So it leads to a lot of fics that are probably 20-50k too long and drag on the point for a bit. I *have* gotten better at it though. The White Queen is probably 100k too long oh my god, I try to forget she exists, even if it's one of the most popular fics I've written.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I have before, mostly in Pitch Perfect since Kommissar is German. It was a good experience. I probably wouldn't do it again unless I either knew the language or it was made up. In text notes so the reader gets what was said are the most awkward thing to deal with in the history of ever.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Warehouse 13. I hadn't known about fic for that long before starting to write for it. I also hadn't realized that I was a big ole homo, which in the late 00s/early 10s fanfic was the only fucking way I was going to see two ladies kiss and by god I was going to leverage the award winning writing skills I had gained writing terrible, original, teenager ficition to do it.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I think for a long, long time it was Of Cats, Giraffes, and Mice. It's just so very soft and caring and for a long while I could just feel that care and sink right into it and it just felt like the best thing I'd ever written. Rereading it now, it's still a very good fic, but I'm starting to see the little holes here and there as I grow as a writer. It's still good! I love it to death, and to talk about favorites without it would be incomplete, but I think that it's important to mention that even your best work eventually loses a bit of shine, no less dear, a huge stepping stone in the right direction, just not the top one anymore.

I think now my favorite is Heaven When We're Home. It has all of those hallmarks that Of Cats, Giraffes, and Mice did, if shorter, and there's a lyrical note to the writing and word choice in it that I have NO idea how I did (not being sober when writing probably didn't hurt) and I'm still chasing that sort of writing even now 2 years later.

#i wrote this instead of writing my nano fic WHOOPS

“It was actually my first scene back with Mel. [It] was our first time seeing each other since when she came back to start filming again,” Leigh tells TheWrap. “It was literally our first time seeing each other since last year, since last March.”

And with that, their already effortless chemistry became even easier. “It was a matter of Alex and Kara, Mel and Chyler, you pick back up where you left off, you know” Leigh adds.

[supercorpkid]

A normal day in the Luthor-Danvers house.

Supercorp, Kara Danvers x Daughter!Reader, Lena Luthor x Daughter!Reader

Word count: 1780.

“So then, I took my glasses off, and I swear it was not intentional, but my heat vision went off and I-I blew it right off of Lena’s hand. Man, she was pissed.” You smile and Jamie tries to hold a laughter and it comes out like a squeaky noise.

“Damn. Not a dull moment in the Karlena house.” She recovers herself and smiles to the ground while you consider what she just said.

“Karlena?” You furrow your brows, confused.

“Karlena, duh. Kara plus Lena.” She explains like you didn’t understand in the first place. That wasn’t the problem, you understood.

“What? Jamie, that’s terrible. We all know SuperCorp is like, a lot better.” You wave her off. “Besides, we do have dull moments. It’s not everyday we’re fighting aliens, destroying things or inventing things. Some days we just… Exist.”

“Oh, please. You three wouldn’t know what it’s like to just ‘exist’ if it hit you in the face.” Jamie crosses her legs and arms like she is trying to impose her thought. Sure, most of the times the things that happen with your family are not something people can relate to, but it’s not like you’re aliens… Wait. Nevermind.

“Excuse me.” You try to sound offended. “I admit we’ve been through a lot.”

“Mhm.” She strongly agrees with her head.

“But we’re still pretty much normal most of the time.”

“I think it’s cute you’re trying to convince me that, like I don’t know everything about you and your moms.” She gives a pretentious smile. “But if it will make you feel any better… Why don’t you tell me about the next ‘normal’ day you guys have?”

“Ok, mhm, sure.” You agree with your head taking this as a challenge. And you’re not one to back out from a challenge. “Next time we have a normal day, I’ll tell you all about it, and you’ll see we’re just another normal family.” As soon as your finish with the sentence, you see Maya coming at your direction and both of you just change the subject immediately.

“Hey cuties.” She says with a smile, and you push your bag to the side so you can make room for her on your lunch table. “You cool?”

You give her a nod, and a quick kiss, before looking at Jamie and thinking about the conversation. She wants normal? You will show her normal.

It is very annoying to you that it takes a whole week before you can declare one day as a normal one. And this is a normal day around your house, you know, one filled with dull moments:

“Kid, time to get up.” Kara knocks on your door serving, as always, as your wake-up call. You roll to the side, not getting up, wanting five more minutes.

And as always, five minutes later:

“Come on, babygirl. School. Let’s go.” Lena opens the door and you finally open your eyes.

“Nooo.” You complain, making Lena give you a soft smile in return.

“Yes, come on. It’s like this every day.” She doesn’t leave until you’re up on your feet despite all of your protests. “We’re leaving in 15.”

You do your entire shower-get dressed-brush teeth routine using your super speed, so you’re downstairs in less than five minutes.

“Hey, babyface.” Kara holds your face, when you’re passing through her, and she kisses your temple. “Had a good night?”

“Eh. It was decent.” You untangle yourself from her and go to the fridge. “We’re out of milk.”

“No, we’re not.” Lena’s voice comes from behind you. You turn around to look at her, all suit up. She has a maroon suit on, and her hair is tied up in a very tight ponytail. She looks very impressive which is normal for her. “Look carefully.”

“I did!” You answer and you see her coming to the fridge. She puts her hand inside and takes a carton of milk out.

“Milk, daughter. Daughter, milk.” She says ironically and you close the refrigerator door with a huff sound. “Eat fast, I have a meeting I can’t be late to.”

“You always have meetings.” You go to the table and sit next to Kara. “And you can never be late to any of them.” You pour cereal into a bowl, and then milk. “It’s like this every day.”

“Sarcasm doesn’t suit you, baby.” Kara states.

“It might not, but it does sustain me.” You open a big smile. You still eat fast, though.

Lena drives you to school. This whole driving with her started when Kara was still terrified to let you walk alone. Now, she’s a little less scared, but you kept getting ready on time, and Lena never said anything to make you believe she wants this to stop, so you just keep riding with her. Because having those 10 minutes in the car ride with her it’s good, even when you’re distracted.

“How’s school now that you’re back?” She asks while staring straight ahead, and when the answer doesn’t come, she looks back at you. She takes one hand out of the wheel, and pokes your cheek. “Hey! What’s more interesting in your phone than me?”

“You don’t want me to answer that.” You joke with a smile, and you hear a sarcastic ‘ha ha’ in return. “School is still there.”

“Baby…”

“I’m joking, jeez.” You put your phone away and pat her shoulder trying to calm her. “Everything is fine, mom. I got my grades back up, and everyone loves me now.”

“Yeah?”

“No, I’m just kidding again.” You laugh and she makes an annoyed sound that you decide to ignore. She stops the car in front of the school, and you see Jamie getting out of her mami’s momvan. “Well, gotta go. Thanks for the ride.” You kiss her cheek. “Love ya, have a great day!”

“You too, babygirl.” Lena smiles back at you, watching you getting out of the car. “Don’t break anything, I love you!”

You close the door and turn on your heels, rolling your eyes. If you had a dollar for every time Lena said ‘don’t break anything’, you would be the billionaire by now.

“Hey weirdo.” You catch up to Jamie.

“Hey dipshit.” She answers, putting her phone back in her pocket. “Did you do the chemistry homework? Can I copy?”

Oh, if you had a dollar for that too.

School goes on like it always does, and you can’t help but think that it really doesn’t matter that you have superpowers and a not-so-average intelligence. School is still school for everyone. Kids have pretty much the same problems, questions and indecisions. And you’re just another one in that sea of moody teenagers going from one class to the other.

It's great that you have a girlfriend now. And even if that still doesn’t feel like a normal thing in your life, you two have fallen into a routine very quickly. You see each other when you arrive at school, have a few classes together, have lunch with Jamie in the same table you’ve always seated on, and when the school is over you two steal some moments alone, before either of you have to go home. Today it’s no different.

You don’t go to L Corp. You have lots of homework and reading to do, and you also don’t have any idea for an invention, which is, surprise surprise, also very common for you. Jamie thinks you’re always flooding with ideas and that couldn’t be further from the truth. On your ordinary days, you work very hard and things still don’t go anywhere. So, you just go home and do your boring school activities.

“Hey, whatcha working on?” Kara asks, opening your bedroom door, hours after you sat down, and you look up from your books.

“Homework.” You take off your glasses feeling your vision blurry on the sides. Kara walks in and kisses the top of head.

“Why don’t you take a break, huh?” She asks, like she can see it on your face you’ve been here long enough, and you’re tired already. “Look what I've got you.” Kara gives you a donut and you smile at her.

“You know me so well.” You take it from her hands and eat fast. “Thanks, momma.”

“Come help us with dinner.” She asks and you look at your books deciding you’ve studied enough. You follow her to the kitchen where Lena is already cooking. “Look who I found nose buried in her books.”

“Oh, it’s our little nerd.” Lena chuckles and she kisses your temple when you’re close enough. “Did you clean your bedroom?”

“Mmm…” You haven’t, but you don’t want to tell her that. But then again, Kara was just inside your room, so you can’t exactly lie. You look at Kara for support and she shakes her head agreeing, like she’s giving you permission to say yes. “Mhm, yeah.”

“Ok.” Lena puts your hair behind your ear and smiles softly. “You can clean up after you help us with dinner.”

You huff while pouting, making both of them giggle at you.

“How did you know I was lying?”

“Oh, that part was actually really simple, because you see… I’m not an idiot.” She winks at you and you agree with your head. “Now, why don’t you help me?” Lena points at the top shelf. “Can you grab that bowl for me?”

“Why? You can’t reach it?” You joke, making Kara wheeze a laughter behind you, and it takes her a whole minute to recover from that. Even with Lena looking at her like she is going to commit murder if she doesn't stop.

“Don’t sass me.” It’s Lena’s response and you fly a little off the ground to grab what she asked for.

So, you all finish making dinner, and eating it, while talking about your days. And that includes Lena’s boring meetings with people who know way less than she knows, but still try to convince her that she’s wrong. Includes Kara’s interviewing various uninteresting people to the unexciting news piece that she’s writing. And your tedious classes, and uncreative ideas. The day is so dull, there wasn’t even any Supergirl emergency.

When dinner is done, and the kitchen is clean, they make their way to the couch, and you clean your bedroom using your super speed, so you can join them right after. The three of you just watch TV, and laugh, and exist.

If you’re being honest, you would trade all the kidnappings, assassination attempts, saving National City emergencies, to these dull days, easily. Because just existing next to them it’s so freaking good, you don’t need anything else.

Notes:

Thank you to my sister (not irl) @supercorpdaughter for this prompt :)

1 Year Post

So, I wrote this way in advance because I wasn’t sure if I’d be here for my actual 1 year anniversary for this blog… But, it’s been a wild ride, guys. I can’t believe I made it this far almost a thousand followers!! That’s insane! When I first started this blog, I didn’t expect to even hit 100 followers, let alone still be writing for a year… I fully intended to get myself back into gear(I’m actually finishing all my homework and whatnot for the whole class as we speak!) and pump out more stories for you guys to enjoy… Anyways, through this year, I’ve met some pretty amazing people:(continued below the cut)

@empyreanwritings​​​​​ you are my best friend in the whole wide world, you have no idea how thankful I am that I met you when I did, you helped me through a very rough phase in my life and I love you so much for that, know that even though we do have our spats, I will always be by your side, no matter what and I’m incredibly thankful to be able to call you not just my tumblr girlfriend, but my best friend. Also! I can’t wait to meet you irl soon!(If Covid doesn’t interfere of course). 💜

@wokeupinawalnut​​​​ Sophie, what can I say? You were one of my first friends on here, you dealt with a lot of my bs and while we stopped talking for a bit, I am so glad we’re back to talking and our friendship is stronger than ever(even with all the baked goods you’re trying to tempt me with 🙄) and I’m glad I could introduce you to the lovely people that are Rhett and Link XD, I love you and I can’t wait to make more memories with you! Thank you for sticking by me through it all!! ❤

@imagine-lcorp​​​​​ Ami, I honestly never expected us to become as close as we are when we first started chatting, but you have no idea how glad I am that I commented on one of your stories then felt the need to DM you instead of responding, you’ve become the big sister that I never had. I’m always here for you when you need me, no matter what. Also, I can’t wait until we finally meet in person and you force me to watch those scary movies you promised.(Yes I used a Frozen gif, sue me) 💙

@rianncreates​​​​​ Girl, you have been there for me through a lot, we just instantly clicked and I love it, I miss our Minecraft adventures and being in PS4 parties with each other and just talking random shit until you fall asleep on me lmao. I can’t wait to make more memories with you, I love you!! 💛

@veteranwerewolf95​​​​ I know we don’t talk a whole lot, but you are amazing and one of the greatest friends a girl could ask for, I’m so excited to start our Christmas tradition when I come back and I can’t wait to have more conversations with you with just F.R.I.E.N.D.S. gifs!! 😂 Love you!! 💚

@worlds-in-words​​​​ Oh man, there’s so much I can say… I’m so glad that we started talking and became friends, I LIVE for your random asks you send me and I love you for it, we’ve been through quite a bit together and I can’t wait to make more memories with you!! I love you and I hope you’re taking care of yourself!! 💞

There’s so many other people that I could go on about, but there’s just so much to say and I don’t want to drag this on too much, but here are the mentions and know that I love each and every one of you and all of my followers!! See you in a few days, lovelies!! 💜

@aznblossom​​​​ ​ @stewie-castle​​​​ @kalistory-blog​​​​ @timelords-13​​​​ @natasha-danvers​​​​ @rebornpoet​​​​ @fire-and-blood-targaryen​​​​ @life2-live​​​​ @ianarec​​​​ @hopingforbarnes​​​​ @crimsonthehobo​​​​

[canarypoint]

21, 22, and 32 :)) -sunrise anon

hi sunrise anon!!

21 - Favorite pairing to write for? (platonic or romantic!)

pairing implies not reader-insert, right? so the Danvers sisters (platonically obviously lmao). their dynamic (especially in the first three seasons) are so special to me. like... i don’t have an older sister (at least not biologically/irl) so watching Alex and Kara grow and help each other, and seeing how they impact each other’s lives is just such a big thing for me that i don’t completely know how to put into words. writing for them is even better because i get to put my own spin on things, plus it’s always self-indulgent as fuck (and partially why i haven’t posted any of the fics i’ve written about them).

22 - Do you listen to anything while you write? 

sometimes! it’s normally songs i know well enough to hear in the background without being distracted so i can completely tune them out if i have to, or songs i’m not familiar with/not so interested that i want to stop and listen/get to know the songs. i’d make a playlist for writing but it’s more of an in-the-moment thing.

32 - Summarize a random fic of yours in 10 words or less. 

oh boy okay here we go: human puppy speedster gets lost and comes back traumatized i’ve been thinking about my Titans fic all day wtf

#keep sending me asks! #sunrise anon

[queercapwriting]

Can we please have another college nb!Alex au. Maybe including trans!Winn and Adrian. I've been a little down and could really use one of my favorite au's. 🧡🧡🧡 Thanks, whether you do it or not.

They weren’t sure what was wrong. 

Classes were going well (they were acing everything, of course), their girlfriend was incredible (as always), their sister and Lena were disgustingly adorable after finally realizing what everyone else knew about their relationship (by disgusting, they meant beautiful), and for once they were getting on decently well with their mother and…

And everything was horrible.

Maybe it was precisely because everything was great.

Maybe it was precisely because their brain was broken, somehow they were broken.

“You’re not broken, Alex, I promise,” Winn told them without taking his eyes off the PS4. He took out a stormtrooper that had been about to lower Alex’s health to nothing.

Oh damn. They’d said that out loud.

“Behind you!” Adrian warned, backseat driving without a controller.

“Behind which of us?” Winn asked even as he swerved just in time to avoid a jump trooper’s fire. “If you’re gonna backseat Star Wars: Battlefront, you’ve gotta be more specific, dude.”

Adrian preened, leaning into Winn and batting his eyelashes. “You called me dude, dude.”

“Yeah, yes, you’re both very dudely, but one of us has gotta get to the damn turret and take care of those TIE fighters,” Alex groaned.

Adrian slid off of his dorm room couch, inserting himself on the floor between Alex and Winn. He rested his head on Alex’s shoulder.

“Winn’s right, you know. You’re not broken. I mean, your health is pretty low, you should go for that heart in the corridor – but you, IRL, are not broken, Alex Danvers.”

“No?” Alex said, slamming pause just as they were respawning with their last life, glaring daggers at the jump trooper that had finally gotten them. “Then what the hell? Everything’s fine. Kara’s good, Maggie’s good, you guys are good, James is good, everyone’s healthy, everyone’s fine, my mother finally started using my damn pronouns, so what could possibly -”

“Your feelings aren’t a laundry list of who’s doing well and what’s going right, Alex,” Adrian said. Alex turned on him instead of the jump trooper and glared.

“Aren’t you supposed to be the itty bitty freshman? Aren’t we supposed to be giving you sage life advice?”

Adrian held up his hands and smirked. “Listen, I’m the one with the PS4, so you can’t piss me off.”

“True,” Alex murmured, apologizing by putting their head on his shoulder.

“He’s right, though, Alex,” Winn shrugged, adjusting the controller in Alex’s hand and pressing play on their game again. “Depression isn’t broken, it’s just... depressed.”

Alex and Winn’s Star Wars avatars lined up back to back - I got your six, Maggie always told Alex, and Winn had done some learning from her - and finally took down the damn jump trooper.

They both whooped, and Adrian whooped louder. 

For some reason, it made the three of them descend into such a strong fit of giggles that they had to pause the game again.

“Guys?” Alex said when they finally caught their breath. “Thanks.”

“That’s what we’re here for,” Adrian said, kissing their cheek.

“Aww, can I kiss your cheek too?” Winn asked.

“Try it and see what happens, Schott,” Alex said, and they all laughed again.

And God, it felt good to laugh.

I’m dying a slow death, not being able to talk about the Tom Taylor/Yasmine Putri Supergirl story to any of my IRL comic buddies, so you know what THAT means: A LIST. A SPOILER-Y LIST.

(If you have any intention of picking up the DC Nuclear Winter Special, STOP. STOP RIGHT HERE. GO NO FURTHER. Because SPOILERS.)

Now. ONWARD:

A list of Cool Stuff from “Last Daughters”

First and foremost, the title; Taylor mentioned on twitter that it’s a big ol’ spoiler for the ending, and it very much is. And it’s a perfect title. Because the ending is perfect. 

I...basically love everything I’ve ever read by Taylor, and he doesn’t disappoint here. It’s eight pages, but it’s PACKED. It’s warm, and touching, and hopeful, and RAAAAAAAD. We’ll talk more on that in a moment.

(If you dig the mother/daughter stuff here, I recommend All-New Wolverine. It’s not a mother/daughter book, but it is a sister book, so it’s like. Them Good Found Family Feelz but A WHOLE COMIC SERIES about it.)

Speaking of: LITERAL FOUND FAMILY.

I just really like that Older!Kara adopts a kiddo. So happy. :D

Not greeeeeat circumstances but it ends well.

LIKE. REALLY WELL.

Complete subversion of the typical Last Son/Daughter thing in Super comics; Kara decides to do differently than her folks.

AND IT’S SO GOOOOOOD.

They’re all smushed in the pod together but they’re TOGETHER and Kara won’t leave the fate of her daughter to strangers because she’s LIVED THAT* and hnnnng feeeeeelings.

*Not to imply that her life with her adoptive parents in various continuities was bad but like. There’s obvious trauma, in being jettisoned from an exploding planet alone. 

“You face the unknown. But I will be beside you. You are mine. My responsibility. My child.”

*cries*

Now to switch over to the art.

THE ART.

Apparently this is Yasmine Putri’s first time on sequentials and she nails it.

Also shout out to Tom Derenick on layouts and Deron Bennet’s lettering. WHOLE TEAM BRINGS THEIR A GAME. 

Putri handles art and colors and the palette switch, once the sunlight comes into play, is excellent. From the dire rusty reds and browns to the soft blues of Kara’s costume and the icy/snowy Fortress. 

AND OLDER!KARA LOOKS RAD AS HECK?

I’m not the first to remark on it but she’s absolutely rocking a Carol Danvers look.

Love the Kryptonian tattoos, specifically the ‘hope’ on her knuckles. NICE.

And there’s a panel; you have to turn it upside down to really see it, but Kara and Lucy are kinda smushed in the pod and Kara’s smile is just: A+

I’m sure there’s more but I’ll wrap this up before I ramble any further: IT’S JUST EIGHT PAGES IN A SEASONAL ANTHOLOGY BUT BOY OH BOY, IT GORGEOUSLY DRAWN AND EXPERTLY WRITTEN. 14/10 would love a spin-off series of Kara and her Kiddo.

ALSO GENERAL NOTE: The whole anthology is really good and I don’t often recommend these oversized books because they’re rarely worth the larger price tag but THIS ONE IS. In addition to this really awesome story, there’s a great Batman story, a J’onn J’onzz story masquerading as a pretty great Superman One Million story, and a great Firestorm story as well. (And others! But those were some of my favs.)

Day 1 Sisters Night

For @queercapwriting ‘s Danvers Sisters Week. Hope you enjoy! read on ao3

25 months, 12 days, and 4 hours was how most people counted Alex’s deployment. Twenty five months, twelve days, and four hours since she hugged them goodbye and walked onto a plane headed off to Afghanistan.

Kara counted it as 109 skype calls. 109 sisters nights spent with only a blurry screen and a bad movie playing.

But that was all about to change, because Alex was finally coming home for good.

“Kara, chill. She’ll be walking out any minute now, and if you combust from excitement before then she will kill me. And we all know she can,” Lucy said. Easy for her to say. She’s seen more of Alex than any one of them. She was deployed with her for 11 months. But Lucy did have a point, so Kara did her best to compose herself.

“Her plane just landed,” Winn informed them, looking up from his phone which he had been checking every thirty seconds for the past two hours. He downloaded a “track my plane” app specifically for today.

“Quick, let’s unroll the sign.” James handed one end to Kara, who nearly tore it with how strong her grip was. Luckily she caught herself before she did, and slowly stepped away from James, letting the twelve by four foot sign unravel, the words “WELCOME HOME ALEX” painted in sparkly blue and red letters being revealed as they went. Kara had taken point on making the sign, with Winn her second in command. Lucy wasn’t allowed within five feet of it, and neither was James after he spilled all the yellow paint on Kara’s counter. He grumbled about being a Pulitzer winning photographer, to which Kara countered that he hadn’t touched a paintbrush in his life before he met her.

“Guys, I see a soldier coming through the gate! Hold up the sign,” Winn said. They all craned their necks, searching for Alex through the crowd, and while they see more than a dozen men and women in army uniforms, there’s no sign of Alex.

“Maybe she’s having trouble finding her stuff at the baggage claim,” Lucy suggested. But all Kara could feel was dread, because this was supposed to be their first irl sisters night in over two years and if Alex wasn’t on her plane then where was she?

The crowd had just lulled and none of them had seen anyone in uniform in almost two minutes when Alex strode out of the gate, her duffle bag slung over her shoulder. Kara squealed in excitement and handed her side of the sign over to Winn before sprinting over to Alex.

She nearly bowled her over with the force of her hug, and Alex squeezed the air from Kara’s lungs in return. Kara blinked back tears that suddenly threatened to overwhelm her and buried her face in Alex’s shoulder.

They embraced for a full two minutes before Alex finally spoke up. “I think I missed your hugs the most.” Kara let out a watery laugh and finally relaxed her grip. She held Alex at arms length, taking her in like she could hardly believe what was happening. Which she couldn’t.

“I missed...everything,” Kara said.

“Yeah, me too.” She smiled a wide smile, so different than her normal smirk, but didn’t get a chance to respond before Winn slid to a halt next to the sisters.

“I hate to break up the sisters reunion, but…” Alex grabbed him in a one armed rib crushing hug. Her other hand remained firmly grasping Kara’s wrist.

“It’s good to see you Winn,” Alex said, rubbing his back before releasing him.

“Good to see you too,” he wheezed, rubbing his side.

Winn’s interruption made way for Lucy and James. Lucy hugged Alex and James leaned down to pick up her hat, which Kara had knocked off her head when she tried to tackle her. He handed it to Alex when Lucy finally released her, and she took it with a smile.

The five of them piled into an Uber called by Lucy that took them back to Kara’s apartment. James, Winn, and Lucy all hugged Alex once more in the lobby of the building before leaving the sisters to their devices. As soon as they left Kara and Alex headed up to Kara’s apartment in the elevator, ordering pizza and pot stickers on their way up.

“Do you want to change and then we can pick out a movie?” Kara asked after hanging up with Alex’s favorite pizza place. Alex had already shrugged out of her jacket, leaving her in a tank top and camo pants.

“I think we both know you’ve already picked one out in your head,” she countered.

“...okay maybe I have Thelma and Louise ready to play already. But we can totally watch something else if you want.” Alex rolled her eyes.

“I don’t care what we watch. I’m just glad to be back with my sister.” That overflow of emotion came over Kara once again, closing her throat and blurring her vision. She nudged Alex’s shoulder with her own instead of responding.

True to her word, Kara already had the movie cued up. She turned on the tv as Alex dumped her duffle bag by the door and rifled through it for her pyjamas.

“We’re not starting the movie until the food gets here,” Alex said over her shoulder as she headed into Kara’s bedroom to get changed.

“Of course not,” Kara scoffed. “I'm going to change after you.”

It wasn’t long before the food arrived and the sisters curled up on the couch, so close they were nearly sitting on eachother. Kara bent her knees pulled her feet up on the couch while Alex’s knees bumped into the coffee table, which they had pulled close to the couch to hold all their food. Kara pressed play on the movie, but she had no idea how she was going to watch it. She just couldn’t seem to pull her eyes away from Alex, as though if she let her out of her sight she would wake up and realize this was all a dream.

Unfortunately, Alex noticed. “What are you doing?”

“Nothing,” Kara said quickly. Alex raised an eyebrow, and Kara sighed. “I’m just really glad you’re home,” she admitted. Alex smiled.

“Me too.”

3. Alice Kwan (on the right) (Good Trouble)

4. Anissa Pierce (Black Lightning)

5. Clare Devlin (Derry Girls)

1. NIKO. HAMADA. (Charmed 2018)

2. Max Sweeney (The L Word)

3. Lexa kom Trikru (The 100)

4. Nagini (HP/Fantastic Beasts)

5. Nora West-Allen (The Flash)

26. Top 5 crack ships - **I’m not entirely sure I fully comprehend crack ships but here goes 😅

1. Rachel Chu/Astrid Leong (Crazy Rich Asians)

2. Iris West/Caitlin Snow (The Flash)

3. Wynonna/Haught (Wynonna Earp) (don’t @ me, Wayhaught is still my otp)

4. Kassandra (Assassin’s Creed)/Clarke Griffin (The 100)

5. Supergirl/Wonderwoman (DCU)

31. Top 5 notps - I have no regrets. Picked ones that are canon or that seem to exist out there in the scary world.

1. Kara Danvers/Alex Danvers (Supergirl). Ya’ll. They are sisters. Periodt.

2. Dana Fairbanks/Alice Pieszecki (The L Word). I loved this when it aired but watch it in our year 2019 and tell me it doesn’t seem hella... no.

3. Owen Hunt/Christina Yang (Grey’s Anatomy). Besides my distaste for Owen‘s personality, the way he tried to pressure and guilt and gaslight Dr. Christina Yang into motherhood, shaming her for having an abortion, was GROSS. That’s putting it lightly. IRL, this the type of dude who pokes holes in condoms. It’s abuse.

4. Amy Pond/Rory Williams (Doctor Who). Rory Williams’ sense of entitlement to Amy’s affections is offputting, and then the whole Roman Soldier thing where he stood by the cube? Hey! That doesn’t mean shit. She doesn’t owe you anything for that, my guy. Ew.

5. Carol Danvers/Valkyrie (MCU). :: waves a rolled up newspaper :: Carol is MARRIED.

I have so many conflicting feelings over the continual mentions of Mon-El in season 3 and it all comes back to the fact that he was written as an emotionally abusive waste of oxygen and the fact that the people who created him go out of their way to ignore or excuse his behaviour.

They could have brought us to this same story line without making him a character that lies and constantly show disregard for Kara’s feelings and boundaries.

Hell they could have brought us to this same story line without even making them a couple, just by exploring the fact that he’s the only person Kara could talk to who had first hand knowledge of Krypton, even if he was from a planet aligned against them.

But they didn’t. Instead they made the type of character who legitimately complained about the fact that he couldn’t treat women like crap anymore without being held accountable for it, and straight up admit the only reason he modified his behaviour was so that he could pursue Kara’s affections. And they never actually changed or broadened his motivations away from this. He never became a hero. Whenever he was offered a chance to do something heroic he’d do something self centered instead. In the face of his mother and her invasion he didn’t consider trying to use his position as prince to stage a coup, or taking her up on her offer of simply leaving the planet together; he didn’t even have faith in Kara and her allies to win a fight against the Daxamites. Instead he tried to convince Kara to run away with him and abandon Earth as lost.

All of which sucks. Badly. But here we are, and they’re actually using Kara’s loss of him to launch them into what could be a genuinely interesting story.

Kara confronting her past, and more recent traumas and the changes in her character that could come from that are things I’ve wanted to see since I heard her intro monologue in the very first episode, and they’ve tainted the whole thing by tying it back to her relationship with Mon-El.

Which could actually be used to the shows merit if they included Kara coming to the realisation that her relationship with Mon-El wasn’t actually as caring and healthy as she had originally thought. Watching her remove the rose-tinted glasses and deal with the realisation that she had been abused would be a hell of a storyline. It’s something that could be very affirming to irl victims of emotional abuse by letting them know it wasn’t their fault and that even superheros are vulnerable to that kind of treatment.

But I have absolutely no faith they’ll do that. In fact eveything they did in the previous season, and everything about how they’ve promoted this season, leaves me thinking they’re just going to keep telling us Mon-El is great while never actually doing anything to show him being great. Which leaves me reluctant to watch this season, no matter how much they seem to have turned their focus to women supporting women, and the Danvers sisters family bond.

#chirping wren #supergirl #anti-mon-el #anti-karamel #it would be much easier to get over this if they'd at least acknowledge that their attempts at writing romance didn't come across as such
