i’d like to see some 3x01! is that the one with the “discreet flirty look” lol

sorry this ask took me like a full seven days to answer lmao, i had an insane week and didn't get a chance to scan stuff in from the script until now. changed/cut supercorp bits from the 3x01 concept draft script below the cut!

kara arriving at lena's office (there is something so warm and fuzzy about lena wanting to go out of her way to read kara's work):

lena's full speech at the statue unveiling (half of this was cut for time it seems which is sad bc lena calling kara "a light in this world" makes me yell. also can we talk about "it surprises her, how much this speech is really true, and really from the heart" KILL ME):

bonus kara staring longingly at lena:

two bits of altered dialogue from the "lena bough catco" scene (lena telling kara "this is my town now" and kara saying she's better than supergirl SWOOOOONNN, and then "be my right hand woman" instead of the "i trust you" that made it to screen):

think that's everything significant from this one! if i get my hands on more scripts, i'll share more!

Hunger Games didn’t really eat holes in my brain the way that it did for some other people but god the opening lines. The opening lines. Katniss wakes up in bed and immediately, instinctively reaches beside her, only to find the bed empty and cold. Before we even know her name – before we know literally anything about her or this world or her place in that world – we know that she loves someone. We know that she is reaching for where Prim should be, sleeping safe and warm beside her, but Prim is not there. She is not there, and her half of the bed is cold and empty. People talk about characters being “doomed by the narrative” when most of the time the character was literally just a well-foreshadowed death, but Prim WAS doomed by the narrative. It’s the very first thing we learned. It’s the most key, integral, important piece of information we’re given about everything that is about to happen: Every single choice Katniss makes is to protect her little sister, and it isn’t enough. In the end, Prim still dies. Prim was dead before the story even started. Katniss, reaching. Prim’s side of the bed was cold and empty. There is no version of this story where Prim could have been saved. Katniss, reaching. The very first thing she does in the series. She wakes, and she reaches, but Prim is already gone. THAT is how you do Doomed By The Narrative. Edit: Also it is key that there was literally nothing Katniss could have done differently. If she had not acted to save Prim, Prim would not have survived the Hunger Games. But by acting to save Prim, Katniss accidentally kicked off an entire rebellion and ultimately massively increased the amount of danger Prim was actually in. The key is that this is irrelevant. If Katniss had done literally anything differently, Prim still would have died. If Katniss had faltered or changed course at any point, Prim still would have died. There was never a point where Katniss could have changed Prim’s fate. There’s no version of this story where Prim lives to see the end of it. She’s dead before the story begins. That’s doomed by the narrative.

Field Note #134: What was Fatin and Leah's first interaction? It was their sophomore year, in the bathroom between classes:

"Leah thought about it every day for a month."

Commission by @cutetanuki-chan. <3

[adorable-catra]

who do you think developed feelings first, fatin or leah?

Before s2 dropped, I would've said Fatin.

Leah spends half of season 1 getting over Jeff. So I don't think she's really in the headspace for it, especially since she's chasing down island conspiracy theories to boot.

Out of all the girls, Leah's the one who challenges her idgaf attitude she puts on to avoid being emotional vulnerable, and I really think that opened the floodgates for her in terms of falling in love with someone.

But with Field Note 134 revealed in 2x01, I have to say Leah.

You're telling me it's canon Leah thought about Fatin every single day for an entire month after a 2 minute bathroom conversation? Leah was down bad for her, there's simply no other explanation for it.

I feel like Leah had one of those intense but fleeting crushes on Fatin, it probably went away since they run in completely different circles at school, and my guess is that Leah didn't think about her again til she saw her on the plane (or Ian's conversation with Leah about Fatin, I'm still not sure where that falls on their pre island timeline).

Anyways, Leatin is a classic example of the falls first (Leah) and falls harder (Fatin) trope.

Leah develops a crush on Fatin before the island, but it fades and eventually she enters a relationship with Jeff.

Fatin develops feelings for Leah on the island. It starts off as Leah being the one she feels most comfortable with approaching/befriending (end of 1x01 convo), and then Leah being someone Fatin feels comfortable being emotionally vulnerable with (her apology tour at the end of 1x05). As Leah's paranoia increases and her mental stability takes a tailspin, Fatin grows more and more concerned for her. She tries to push Leah away (2x01), but it doesn't work because at this point, she cares too much about her to ever let her go.

I genuinely think Fatin's conversation with Shelby (1x07 or 1x08, can't remember) is the first time she acknowledges to herself just how deep she's in. I think Leah's relentless drive in how she kept looking for answers about the island, even when she was completely alone, hit Fatin hard enough to really fall for her. Realizing Leah was right all along was the final nail in the coffin.

Leah, on the other hand, starts to see Fatin differently at the end of season 2. When Fatin takes care of her in the aftermath. She gently dries her hair and affirms her as the "strongest fucking person she knows," it's exactly what she needs to hear, given she spent the last hour or so fighting her demons in the middle of the ocean, and even longer feeling weak because of she was losing her grip on reality.

At that moment, I think Leah is hit with how much Fatin has supported her through it all. Fatin has seen her at her best and worst. Even though they've fought and been at odds, at the end of the day, Fatin is the one person Leah trusts with her life (1x09, s2 Sarah Pidgeon interview). So hearing those words from Fatin of all people is beyond validating. And I think it's that realization that allows Leah to see Fatin as more than a friend. She's her person.

drunk Ava’s logic is flawless

[adorable-catra]

y’all love the morally gray, snarky, grief stricken characters until it’s a woman. i’ve seen so much discourse regarding female characters who display the exact same character traits as male leads and are criticized for it while the men are praised. let women be cruel and vindictive. let them deal with their grief and trauma in destructive ways. let them be real. give them the same treatment you would give to your favorite male love interest.

Lena: Isn’t it pretty? Kara: Very pretty.

You’re so pretty. Did you know that? No, I mean, I - I’m not - I mean, compared to you - No, you are. Really.
