This pretty much sums up me and all my thoughts. Kara and James felt... solid. They spent so long building a foundation and then the actual thing was really unsatisfying. It kind of felt like when someone (aka the writers) want something so bad and for so long, and then you get it and don’t know what to do with it. It was lazy. Even had they not brought in Mon-El, it was still a disservice to the ship to play it like that.

I really enjoyed the Guardian story line, especially because he didn’t announce it. He didn’t do it for points. He did it for himself because he felt an internal need. I get the frustration from Kara because it’s hard to let someone you care about put themselves in danger but I think that storyline, and Winn’s part in it, was actually solid character development that wasn’t about “getting the girl”.

For real though, the reason I actually saw anything Supergirl related at all was because the actor for Mon-El was an equally jerky character (but fandom darling) in another show I watched and in that shows tags was a gif-set showing every Kara/Mon-El scene per episode with captions like “they want us to think *thing happening such as him buying her flowers for example* is romantic but it’s actially really abusive because...” so I checked out the Supergirl tag and it was full of the same stuff, peppered with gifs of my Queen, Katie McGrath and how Kara/Lena were canon/not shipping them is homophobic, so I decided to watch it for her because I love her, loved season 1 and then chickened our of watching season 2 for about 6 months, hyped myself up for how bad it was meant to be, cringed for a few episodes and then made my peace that they went down the girl falling for the asshole road like every other show ever (it feels like).

But yeah. I’m a multi-shipper by nature so I like every ship on that show within its context and I’m ok with admitting I like unhealthy ships but when people say abusive, I think about that one time when the fandom darling of my main show killed the object of his affections brother because she said she didn’t feel the same way or something like that. And like, how there was this woman where I work that her boyfriend/husband shouted right in her face, like barely a cm from her skin, and how she just burst into tears, right there in front of everyone and nobody even blinked. I asked her if she was ok and if she needed help but she just meekly shook her head and ran after him, still in tears. She came back in the next day with him like nothing had happened. Sorry OT but it stuck in my mind.
