Every Brainia Scene Ever: 5x15 [2/7]

#supergirl #supergirledit #brainia #brainiaedit #nia nal #yvette #i've said it before and I'm going to say it again - i love the breakup hoodie so much. The colour. how cozy it looks? I love it #anyway I'll be honest this scene always leaves me wondering exactly how long it's supposed to have been in canon since the breakup #because until Lex said something about three months in 518 I assumed this whole arc took place over a much larger #time frame than it actually did and also how long had Brainy and Nia actually been in a relationship? Because clearly Yvette is #more of a 'moving-swiftly-on' friend than a 'you-take-your-time' kind of friend (for example Kara would 100% have just grabbed another #spoon and joined Nia on the couch for the night let's be honest) but I'm still curious because she clearly thinks this is excessive... #and I get where she's coming from and what she's trying to do (and that she just wanted to include Nia in what was supposed to be #a fun night) but it's so clearly not what Nia needs/wants - especially once they're actually at the club that it's pretty frustrating #(which brings me to the whole 'weird little man' thing. Here it makes sense especially coming from someone like Yvette who #doesn't actually know 'Barney' that well but in general I find the show does too often lean into the fandom narrative that Nia #could (and should) do a lot better than Brainy purely because he's a bit of an oddball/less conventionally attractive than some #(which I get why they went the direction they did with his styling but Jesse is far more attractive than they ever allow Brainy to be) #still on a more positive note I love seeing more of Yvette/Nia's relationship and getting more of a sense of who Yvette is as a person #and her reaction to seeing the ice cream and Nia's outfit cracks me up every time I watch it #as does Nia's little pause and eyeroll before 'Barney' (the ongoing joke that the Superfriends find it a dumb alter ego is the best) #mine #my gifs #*ebs
