you know what kinda hurts? is people calling our concerns with the storyline etc, nonsense. supergirl has been my comfort for years. I turned to that show in secret because it make me feel safe and okay. It made me feel seen and cared about. when kara had her panic attack -

- it was the first time I saw someone on tv, someone I had looked up to for years, portray what I have been going through - exactly how I go through it. to see a hero have a panic attack, to see it didn't make her any weaker - it meant the world to me. everyday when -

- I came home from school after having a bad panic attack, I'd re-watch that scene. she was strong, and so was I. then, I was struggling with my sexuality, and they showed alex. someone else who is so strong, so badass. and it made me feel okay. I was seeing myself. -

- so no. to me this isn't just a fictional show and fictional characters that I can brush off and say 'oh well'. these are characters that carried me through my darkest times, and I'll be damned if I stop caring about them just because it's deemed 'nonsense'.
