Tomaten of paprika. Waar ga jij voor?

Okay, so most people are posting the moments when Mayo-Blegh insults Kara and yells at her and gaslights her for today, which is great! Those are all awesome moments to highlight, but since those have been done a lot, I’ll go with the two more obvious isolation moments. Because I think there’s evidence that Man-Hell is slowly isolating Kara more and more in very subtle ways.

First up? 2x15, the episode where Kara loses her job. 

Kara spends most of the episode lobbying Snapper to let her write an article about the alien kidnappings by Cadmus just to get a warning out so the alien citizens in National City (and elsewhere, presumably, I’m not sure how far Cadmus had planned to reach) could keep themselves as safe as possible. She even went so far as to get Snapper an audience with Supergirl as her “source” for the information. When that didn’t work, it was Lena who gave her the idea to post something on a blog about it.

Kermils will take that last piece of info and shout to the high heavens that Lena is now also just as guilty as Mountain Dew for Kara making her choice. But that’s not true at all because what Lena did was GIVE Kara a choice. Kara was stuck between a rock and a hard place with Snapper: she either tried to write the article and somehow figure out how to run it without Snapper’s approval (maybe going straight to James with it? Just a thought, I mean he is the boss of CatCo and all, not that the writers remember that) which would certainly have gotten her in trouble, or she just gave up her crusade and the warning never gets out. Lena gives her an alternative without necessarily giving an opinion on the matter herself and just says that she’ll try to find Kara some extra information from L-Corp so that she could be Kara’s source and therefore Kara could then run the article legitimately. Ultimately, Lena finds the pertinent information a little too late and Kara loses the job. But Lena does not deserve any of the blame for simply coming up with the idea of a blog article.

In comparison, when Kara is at home deliberating over whether she should or should not post the article she’s written, Man-Ew decides to take matters into his own hands. He listens just enough to hear that she is trying to figure out whether she should do something that will cost her her job or not. He likely knows it’s a warning for the aliens because she’s spoken about it at the DEO already. He asks her to tell him which one is the “right choice” and Kara obviously says the choice that gets the warning out but loses her her job. She tries to tell him about WHY she doesn’t want to lose her job and why this is difficult for her and why she’s hesitating and deliberating and he. Won’t. Listen. To. Her. After TWO EPISODES NOW where he’s promised over and over that he’ll listen to her and then broken that promise. This is the third episode in a row where he has chosen not to listen to her when she needed him to. 

What does he do instead? He interrupts her and starts chanting “Do it! Do it! Do it!” until Kara posts the blog article, cementing the loss of her job at CatCo, the only place now that he cannot really follow her or be around her all the time. 

When he shows up later at her apartment (with food for her that he has already started to eat, how romantic) and she is mourning her reporting job, he just says, “There will always be other jobs.” Again, not realizing just how important this job was to her and how much pain she’s in over having to give it up to save people (something he WOULD have known had he stopped for five seconds in the previous scene he was in and just LISTENED to her, but that’s not his style).

And while this isn’t abuse on his part, the scene ends with Kara giving up all of her identities - as a refugee citizen of Earth, as a Kryptonian, as a superhero, as just Kara - and claims that just “having him” is enough. She claims Supergirl is just “what she can do” (and not her literal link to her Kryptonian lineage and legacy) and that her reporting job at CatCo was “who she was,” that that was where she felt she could just be “Kara.” So now that Supergirl isn’t her true identity and she isn’t a reporter, saying that she could be Supergirl and have her boyfriend and have that be enough is just saying that her ONLY IDENTITY now is in relation to Moldy-Fail. That’s it. Her entire identity is HIS girlfriend. Her identity isn’t about her anymore. 

And that’s what kind-of sealed it for me, that this show I loved last year was gone. Because they literally just killed Supergirl on her own show. She’s gone. She doesn’t exist anymore as per the writing of this scene. The show had seriously just turned into “The Mon-El Show” and painted it as romantic. 

Anyway, Musty-Eel goes even further in 2x17. Or he tries, at least.

After they realize that it’s likely Wonder Bread’s mother who put a bounty on Kara’s head, he comes up with a plan to run away to another PLANET, just the two of them. His plan is literally to take Kara away from everything and everyone she knows and loves and have her all to himself. He wants her to leave behind all of her responsibilities and dreams and her last remaining links to her family to be with him alone for the rest of their lives. 

And when she tells him that won’t happen because she is the Girl of Steel and doesn’t run from anything, he tells her it’s one of her more “annoying” traits. 

The typical line there for the superhero love interest is to sort-of groan, “I know, that’s one of the things I love most about you,” insinuating that while they don’t always like their loved one putting themselves in constant danger, they wouldn’t be the person they had fallen in love with if they didn’t. Because heroism and selflessness is SUPPOSED to be a good trait, one that’s encouraged and admired. 

But Murky-Fell has never seen heroism as anything but selfish, as made obvious by his line in 2x16 when he claims that he is only a hero so he can spend every day by Kara’s side (wow, stalkerish, much?) whereas literally everyone else who becomes a hero on the show has said something to the effect of, “I want to be/I am a hero because I want to help people.”

So WHY would Mangy-Flea say that Kara’s refusal to run away is annoying? Because it means he’ll never be able to get her to run away with him and thus isolate her totally. He can’t take the easy way out there and has to actually be a little more devious in order to get her away from her support system. Which requires work and we all know how much he LOVES having to do any kind of work.

Tilburg staat de kweek van medi-wiet toe

  Tilburg is de eerste gemeente van Nederland die medicinale wietkweek officieel toestaat. Patiënten die aan bepaalde voorwaarden voldoen mogen wiet kweken.

Dat schrijft Marian Hutten van de Stichting Patiëntengroep Medicinale Cannabis (PGMCG) op de website van de vereniging. Marian heeft een tijdlang bij burgemeester Peter Noordanus aangedrongen op het besluit.

De voorwaarden waarmee legaal wiet gekweekt mag worden in Tilburg.

Nieuw Gedoogdbeleid Mensen die cannabis kweken voor medicinale doeleinden worden niet vervolgd in Tilburg. De politie verwijdert de planten niet eens als ze ontdekt worden. In ruil daarvoor moet de kweker aan een aantal voorwaarden voldoen.

Legalisatie De gemeente Tilburg gaf eerder al aan voorstander van legale gemeentelijke wietteelt te zijn. Samen met de Vereniging Nederlandse Gemeenten (VNG) eiste de stad dat de Opiumwet aangepast zou worden. De Minister van Justitie zei in een reactie dat het niet mogelijk is cannabis te legaliseren, vanwege internationale verdragen.
