Check out this gorgeous gifset from @mitski who captured this scene from episode 5 beautifully. Leave her some love in her ask box or on Ao3.

“I…” Kara stared at her hands so hard that had she had her powers, she might’ve set them alight. She chanced a look up at her sister, and found only warm encouragement staring back at her. “Well, we, um, we kind of kissed?”

The words rushed out of Kara quickly, but Alex’s quiet gasp was confirmation enough that she understood.

“You don’t have something to say about that?” Kara pressed, narrowing her eyes at her sister, but Alex merely lifted her shoulders in a shrug.

“Honestly? I kind of expected something like this might happen, sooner rather than later. You’re not exactly subtle when you have feelings for someone, Kara.”

“Oh.” The reveal was a little less climactic than Kara had expected, but she supposed she shouldn’t complain.

“So, what was it like? Was it not good? Is that why she didn’t want to see you? She did kiss you back, right?” Alex’s face shifted from curiosity to something fiercer. “Because I’ve seen the way she looks at you – that feeling is definitely mutual. She didn’t break your heart, did she? Because I can–”

“No, Alex.” Kara cut her sister off with a small shake of her head, a soft smile on her mouth – she hadn’t expected Alex to be so supportive after almost two years of Kara bemoaning Cat’s latest outlandish work request, and she’d assumed it would take some time to talk Alex into being okay with it.

It was a relief to find out Alex was already there.

“It… it was perfect,” Kara continued as she remembered the way it had felt to have Cat in her arms. “But it doesn’t matter how perfect it was, because Cat doesn’t remember it, thanks to Zatanna.”

“Shit.”

“Yeah, that sums it up pretty nicely.” Kara sighed, letting the cushion fall from her grip.

Bonnie

I started writing this to argue Bonnie Winterbottom’s queerness, but ultimately that’s intertwined with her relationship with Annalise. So let’s have a look at it all together. 

We know Annalise Keating isn’t straight.

Bonnie isn’t either. 

“But she was in love with Sam!” Debatable. “And she slept with Asher!” Irrelevant.

If we don’t see a character either doing something queer or declaring their queerness, the assumption is the character is straight.  That assumption is sometimes wrong!  

In season one, Annalise seemed straight.  We found out in season 2 that she’s actually bisexual.  They didn’t turn her bi between seasons 1 and 2.  She always was!  We just hadn’t seen it yet and there was no reason for her to announce it.

So let’s look at Bonnie’s behavior and words without the assumption of heterosexuality.  

Bonnie is devoted to Annalise and loves her so much, in so many ways, that if sex was on the table?  Hell yes, Bonnie would be there for it. In fact, if at some point it’s revealed that these two have boned in the past, I will not be surprised at all.

And here’s why…
