#mimra

Imra: you need to go back so you can figure out what's been weighing on your heart. Mon-El: I'm with you, Imra. Imra: I risked our lives and our marriage to stop Pestilence. I still believe it was worth it. I hoped that once we left, you'd put your feelings for Kara behind you. Mon-El I swear I never...intentionally ...  Imra: You've done nothing wrong.You've tried to bury your feelings. You behaved honorably. Mon-El: You must know that I would never do anything to dishonor you. 

I hate this scene. I think it is among my most hated scenes of season 3. Which is weird, I feel like I should love this scene because to me, it does the best job of portraying that Mimra are terrible as a couple, and hey, as a Karamel fan that should make me happy right? Good sign for my ship?

But I still hate it. 

From how Mon-El scrambles to reason that nothing happened between him and Kara, that they never crossed the line, to how “ I would never do anything to dishonor you. “ to me is just kind of one of the most messed up and impersonal things you could say in a situation like this. The way they talk about “honor” with each other just skeeves me out so much and I mostly hate the writers for putting the characters in such a screwed up situation. 

It’s really striking how big the contrast it between how Mimra gets portrayed in 3A compared to 3B. In 3A, Mimra are plenty of physically affectionate with each other (mostly so Kara can be tortured by it), but it just dies in 3B. They morph into these super stilted platonic friends (the closes to a nice scene being Mon-El protectively helping up both Kara and Imra in both sides now at various points in the episode). 

Don’t get me wrong, I hated the Mimra PDA in 3A, but at least from a character POV ... I guess it’s nice for Mon-El that he presumably likes her? But to see these characters stuck in such a clearly unappealing stilted cold situation with each other, it’s just painful. It just smacks of desolate misery. 

And I guess maybe there is supposed to be an in character explanation where their relationship instantly goes into the deep freeze after Imra reveals her lie? But that writing still makes not sense to me. That’s not how physical attraction works? And then there is this implication that Imra is the one who is mad at Mon-El and he was trying to reach out to her (you can’t keep punishing me). 

Chris' facial expressions during Supergirl 3x14 are really telling.

Here we have J*mes talking to Mon-El about Imra. Look at his face. He is angry. 👿

J*mes keeps on talking about Imra but Mon-El looks at Kara.

Now Mon-El talking about Imra. Look at him. Wow.

Meanwhile, this is Mon-El looking at Kara

😍😍😍😍😍😍

Don’t ask me but if a guy after 7 years is not over a girl, while being in a relatinship with another, then he is not going to be over. People want Imra to wait another 7 years, so he finally will be over or something? Good luck. And how kind of them.

I mean, it could work. Moving on and starting things with someone else is a natural thing to do. But the problem is, he didn’t move on. They didn’t even break up, maybe he knew he could not come back, but how long he hoped for taht? And it’s not like she was only his lover. No.

Imra to Mon-El: "I hoped that once we left you'd put your feelings for Kara behind you. You've done nothing wrong. You've tried to bury your feelings."
