my dad is so funny because if you actually asked him point blank if he's an ally i dont think he'd know how to respond but like a year ago he was talking about when he used to sell houses in the 90s and he was like "yeah we had a gay couple come in and i had to tell one of my coworkers to stop being rude to them. then they invited me to their housewarming party, i dont know why. after that i had a bunch of gay couples come in and specifically ask for me, isnt that weird?" and he legitimately had never connected the dots

i literally had to be like "dad. it was florida. in the 90s. the word probably got out among the gay community that you weren't a violent homophobe so gay people felt relatively safe working with you" and he was like ".......oh. well that explains a lot."

honestly like.

I'm not the most upset about the ending. Kara is going to be editor in chief of catco and cat is coming back to catco and probably went kara can't be alone without me. she got bangs. they were horrible and I begged her for months to get rid of them. what did you do to my company Andrea and lena. I was able to buy it back for a fraction of what it sold for. give it back. Kara you're helping me fix this.

monel is going back to the future and never coming back. kara gets to be herself in her career. both the nia, the trans character, and Alex and Kelly, the two interracial lesbians, got happy endings. Kara didn't end up in a relationship but like. its very instant star kind of thing where it's centers on the main character, not the romantic relationship.

honestly kara and lena need so much therapy before they ever become a couple and I want them to be together but like. 5 years in the future after many many hours of both individual and couples therapy. did I mention lots of therapy.

it's not a perfect ending by any means but you know what it could have been so much worse and this is at least an ending that can be viewed with like. contentment. if not happiness. it could have been so much worse

there's a lot to say about supergirl and continuity but the show started with Kara as an assistant getting cat coffee and ended on kara as the editor in chief of catco, having a 1 on 1 exclusive interview with cat, broadcasted to millions of people and that sure makes me want to cry

.......Kara didn't learn calculus as a preschooler and be forced to assimilate into a brand new culture for you to call her a himbo she's not dumb????? she hates exercise and was gonna be a scientist on krypton.

The only reason what she does now involves the physical is because she automatically has muscles from the sun. the only running she ever did was what was strictly required to be a healthy child and probably whatever defense training Astra gave her.

the ones who are very into exercise and physical things or at least will do them willingly: Lucy, former army officer. Alex, surfing champion and DEO agent. Lena, who drags kara with her to "exercise." Astra, the general with combat experience pre Earth time. Cat Grant, who constantly goes to Pilates and Spin and has a personal trainer.

tl;dr Kara is beefcake bc the yellow sun gives her powers. More aus where when Kara isn't a Kryptonian raised on Earth she'd HATE anything involving exercise or physical activity. Like she's v much that line from parks and rec from Ann of she does it to keep her healthy but man at what cost
