when i read this, my muse said, counter-suggestion: if we're body-swapping a Danvers and a Luthor, then Alex and Lillian. they would hate it, but it could be hilarious. it's actually amusing me so much i might actually write it

I agree so much with all of this, esp this bit "‘You just exposed me to the ugliness of humanity.’ SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP" lmao. I wanted to laugh so HARD when Lena said that, and yell, "You're such a melodramatic asshole, Lena!" Because she's being SO dramatic, and not in a fun way, but in the annoying whiny way!

That’s so true. This is all being played 100% straight which makes it a slog.

buddy. b U D D Y. i cannot tell you how much i have been sitting on a contempt for Lena Luthor and the way both show and fandom have spent 3+ years fawning over her for... being an attractive power fantasy for white chicks, i guess. I have lived and worked in the circles where real people who resemble Lena exist. She's nothing special. And she's BORING AS HECK.

(sitting on it in the same way Alex has been sitting on her reservations since that time she opted to remain silent in S2 even though she CLEARLY DISAGREED with Kara.)

I spent my youth trying to dodge all of those ‘Batman is more interesting than Superman!’ takes, I don’t ever think I’ll forgive the fandom for bringing the same sort of nonsense to a show literally called SUPERGIRL.

On the one hand, kudos for making me laugh about this mess, but on the other hand, all I'm hearing is that we're forming an "I have never liked Lena" support group bc s a m e

the s2 comparison has given me a new therapeutic exercise of imagining kara throwing lena into space (for some kara-approved reason of course) and then when she returns giving her an honest what for a la 3x15

I’ve been hoping for a dressing down, like in 3x15, but I had not considered the throwing into space angle! I like that a lot. An interstellar time out, of sorts.

it's like they were like hmm... how can we be more progressive than white man pain? rich white woman pain!

YEEEEEEP.

GOD WHAT A MOOD. Please just make it end, I don't CARE about Lena's rich white lady pain.  Can we please focus on characters that are way more interesting?!

I’m at the point where I don’t even care if they bungle the messaging/goof the landing, I just want it to be DONE. I’m tired of seeing her wide-eyed look of despair any time someone doesn’t live up to her impossibly high, unreasonable standards of friendship. XD

did you finish the episode or are you still going?

well given Melissa's statement, the theme of "she's only lashing out and hurting me bc she's damaged, and if I stay, maybe I can get through to her" is also making me throw up in my mouth a little bit

This is Risk erasure ;P

I just watched the episode, and may I just say from the bottom of my heart, I am also feeling the ugh. Wake me up when this storyline ends

oh wow, thanks for the shoutout! <3
