A viltrumite can hold their breath for a while but still need to breathe so imagine kent being his oxygen tank.

Or one of them sleeps and holds their hands like otters so they don't drift apart, or maby mark is laying on Kent chest and vice versa so they can sleep.

Like that but them in space

I actually do HC that Kryptonians can “breathe” in space. Kind of—

The yellow solar radiation from all the stars and systems in space let their bodies run on a “back up generator” of sorts. It has the oxygen that’s been absorbed into their body last much longer.

And, fun fact, you do breathe out oxygen with each breath (just less) so Kent acting as an air tank for is possible. Though, I see Mark using it as an excuse to kiss her just cause—

also because we know jackshit about her so i’m gonna give her a personality and interests myself

she can blend into any crowd with no effort, no matter how small a crowd. 3 people? she can hide and you won’t be able to see her. perks of being the chameleon saint

give her something to hold and she WILL hold it. she probably won’t even look at it. she just. hold. this is also a chemeleon joke i’m not even slightly sorry

she roller skates!! she’s one of those people that make roller skating seem easy

you ever seen figure roller skating?? she does that

got a bad idea? she’ll probably encourage you and make it worse

she has an army of very very strange stuffed animals that she CAN and WILL unleash upon anyone who crosses her path

she’s usually very calm but there are things that can make her break (rather easily, actually)

(Thank you, Mandalorian and Grogu)

So, to keep myself focused on Mark and STS, here’s some fluffy Kent/Mark headcanons I have while I slog through the smut and rewrite the rooftop scenes into other things

Both Mark and Kent come from families who take their weekly cleaning very seriously

However, both have completely different processes.

And while Kent is down to learn and use Mark’s way, he’s very particular and lets her clean a different room than the one he’s working on.

((Mark is a floor first cleaner, Kent is a surfaces first cleaner))

Speaking of which, their dishwasher basically goes unused.

The Kent’s dishwasher was rarely used as most pots/plates were completely cleaned by hand, and the Grayson’s rinsed their pots/plates and placed them into the washer.

Mark’s the washer, Kent’s the dryer.

Kent is an early bird, and Mark is a night owl

It doesn’t help that most of Kent’s shifts start early in the morning (workin’ 9-5)

Mark lowkey tries to get her to call in sick some days

He just wants a lazy morning with her,,,

They do share a bathroom sink and all of their toiletries are mixed together.

The only reason they even know which toothbrush is theirs is because Kent got Mark a child Seance Dog brush as a “anniversary present” and he actually used it

Mark did originally have his own shampoo, conditioner, body wash but he quickly began to use Kent’s. And vice versa

They like to smell like each other

Especially because you never know how long one will be called away

They do fight over if Burger Mart or Big Belly Burger is superior

Not actual fights, but both are incredibly petty when they want to be

Both have tried to convince the others friends to be on their side

Kent is more successful, as William immediately hopped on to pissing Mark off, and Jimmy genuinely enjoys Big Belly.

Lois could not care less.

Kent genuinely is trying to train Krypto to not sleep on the bed (as it’s already small, not even talking about when Mark spends the night)

But more than once, Krypto has buried himself between Mark and Kent as they sleep and kicked Mark off the bed

Reiterating this! Kent “purrs”

Her heart has a rattle due to the extra layers around it, and it’s more audible during a relaxed heart rate

Mark went nuts when he discovered it

Kent was unable tn escape the teasing for weeks

It only stopped when she threatened to stop letting Mark rest his head on her chest if he continued

Kent has scared Mark more than once late at night.

When it’s dark and she uses her vision, her eyes let out a soft glow

And when Mark is either waking up cause she’s no longer in bed, or arriving at her place late at night and he just sees glowing eyes.

He’s screamed at least twice and made Kent promise to not tell anyone.

Mark is lowkey extremely possessive of Kent

When Kent slowly starts to build her Justice League, and gets more and more friends

Jealousy is a problem for him. Not cause he thinks Kent would be unfaithful or that her friends would shoot their shots

But social media gets the better of him

Ship edits of everyone but him with her

Pool/Beach days are at least every week during the sunny months

Kent is a floater. Either on a ring, or simply floating on her back. She can fall asleep and snooze.

If it’s just them, Mark likes to grab ahold of her and float along side. He doesn’t fall asleep, though. He just watches and relaxes

If it’s with friends and family?

Sandcastles and water guns and splash fights are his way of enjoying the day.

Kent is actually the one to do yard work

Mark has, on more than one occasion, either enjoyed his view and attempted to make Ma’s lemonade

That's actually a headcanon that I subscribe to! In STS, I believe I mentioned somewhere that Mark noted that Kent's heart making more of a rattle than a thump. Although, I couldn't tell you exactly where/exact quote without doing a read through-

The 'organ' that causes the noise isn't attached to her vocal cords, instead it's another layer around her heart.

As her heart beats faster, the rattle grows faster and high pitched. Not something you could hear easily with the assistance of technology. But a relaxed heartbeat is much lower and steady, which is easily heard.

A Kryptonian version of a purr!

But anyway, enough of my rambling on my headcanons of Kryptonian anatomy—

Mark originally finds it quite a shock when he realizes it isn't a weird murmur she has. Cause at times, he kind of forgets Kent is an alien, or at least, more alien than he is.

Regardless, after he gets over that, he finds it very relaxing. Maybe it's the vibration of it. Or it being technically his girlfriend's heartbeat.

It's his favorite sound in the whole world.

It doesn't matter how tired he is, how hard of a day he's had, what horrible things he's had to do.

If he gets to rest his head on Kent's chest? Listen to that rumbling purr?

eve also getting royalty treatment by Kent she deserves it because knowing her family she was always on her own.

Ken is definitely a girls girl and always have pads and tampon with her even if she doesn't need them like a whole period care package she always gives to her fellow women in need filled with goodies .

Y’know. Stealing this actually. I’ve been wanting to make Kent more alien. This hc is now canon. It’s mine now.

(I like the idea of Kryptonians being Monestrous or Induced ovulators, and instead of shedding the uterine lining, they’re more like whales that reabsorb the lining if fertilization does not occur)

Ma Kent getting very worried when her alien daughter never gets her period but can’t exactly go to a doctor cause. Her vitals aren’t normal, she can’t be checked by needles, and just in general very nonhuman when you look close enough—

I like to imagine during her first relationship with Lana is when Kent learns she runs hot in a pleasant way. Lana just turning Kent into a heating pad before Kent even knows that’s what’s happening.

And Kent offering to cuddle with Lois and Eve on their bad cramp days as well.

And you bet she always has a period pouch in her bag. She started it back when she was dating Lana as a just in case for her, but ended up giving strangers products if they ever needed some. Pads, tampons, ibuprofen/advil, you need it Kent likely has it.

She also definitely does craving runs. She’s used to getting Lois sweets and absolutely offers to do the same with Eve so she doesn’t need to create things for herself. Eve should rest, let Kent take care of it!

(I can see kent using a old flip phone she got from her parents and doesn't want to replace it )

Krypto is the messenger pigeon if Kent is busy.

Chronically offline and technologically illiterate Kent, my beloved…

The Kent’s finances are comfortable, but they’re certainly not well off to continuously buy new smartphones. And definitely not on the Grayson’s level.

Plus the fact smartphones are way more delicate than flip phones, I absolutely see Kent using the same “training phone” that was gifted to her. It’s sturdy and she really doesn’t want to risk not knowing the proper amount of pressure to use a touch screen—

She can text, call, and even play snake. Why would she need to upgrade?

Although I see Mark making the argument of being able to see each other’s location with smartphones, but Kent can already do that regardless. (Mark is still very anxious after William/Rick were kidnapped and nearly killed during Sinclair’s original appearance)

Eve makes Kent a small tube that can clip onto Krypto’s collar after learning that Kent likes to send letters. With the promise that she gets letters sometimes too. Sitting by her window reading a letter? That’s a dream she’s had since she was a kid—

Also imagine if Kent has to cut the twins hair like that and in the beginning it makes mark nervous but he trust kent and let's her lazer cut his hair too.

Kent is protective over her kitchen, canon cause I say so.

Also, it’s absolutely another hc I have for Kent (that I can’t really implement into STS proper to be able to keep the texture/length of her hair vague for the reader) that she needs to use her heat vision to cut her hair cause scissors just break:

That’s the biggest compliment ever actually

Especially since I associate the below picture with both Mark and Kent (there is blood so it’s below a cut, but it’s not the dogs)
