I am a solo indie dev trying to overcome my anxiety and actually let people know my game exists. It is a cute physics based game where you are the level.

I love making this game with passion and I am so excited to share it with the world, but somehow I need to let the world know. Unfortunately the way steam works is the more wishlists the more visibility, so if you are interested it is super appreciated :)

It’s funny that we talk about Alex’s complete lack of care for her own safety but like

Alex’s sister is a god.

Straight up, can fly, shoot lasers out of her eyes, stronger than Hercules, the stuff out of mythology kind of god with less than stellar control and this is who needs her—hugs without hesitation when she sees her struggle to have the control to pet a cat and break a boys nose during her first kiss. And it is Alex’s choice to hold her hand when Kara could pulverize her bones into literal dust, to comfort her when she’s upset and could hug her when Kara could so very easily bend her in half—to be the metaphorical good man in a storm when all of Kara’s senses are going haywire and there’s so much to process, so much she doesn’t know—the trauma of being the last of her people, of being completely overwhelmed. Every touch is a possible death sentence or body cast in the making.

This is Alex’s sister. Alex is responsible for a fucking god and is a god’s lodestone, her tether to mortality (not humanity. She is not human, but there is a reason why red!Kara is her worst self, and it is not only Alex who is preventing that from being reality—so much of it is Kara herself, making her own choices and it would be a disservice to Kara to suggest otherwise—but it is a lot Alex that keeps that from happening).

And Alex does all of this without fear, without hesitation, without concern.

And it’s a two way street—physical danger? Kara can get her out of it. Of course Alex has a reputation for being reckless even for a DEO agent—look at who loves her. 

House on fire? Kara would rush in to save her. A scream of distress? Or even a simple spoken word? Kara would come flying to save her. Jump off a building? New meaning to catch you when you fall. Someone shooting at you? Her sister is bulletproof. Try it. And sure Kara didn’t know about Alex at the DEO—but what I said about Alex asking for help still applies.This is Kara, her favorite person in the world–not Supergirl (her words, not mine)

This isn’t to say that Alex is using or taking advantage of Kara—again, it’s a two way street, and alex would also do anything for Kara. But. It is definitely going to skew her perceptions of what is ‘safe’ when your safety net is a god

Especially since—and here’s the real kicker— “The story is only a tragedy if the god loves you back”—I’ve seen this said plenty of times about Kara’s love interests, but god. If that applies to anyone? It’s alex. Alex, who’s life has slowly become some kind of Greek tragedy because of her love for her sister—and her sister’s love for her.

Alex has the love of a god. And like everything in Kara’s life—it’s only ever bound to end in tragedy.

i think a loving thing u can do for yourself before a solo trip is to have a line item in ur budget, as critical and untouchable as Plane Tickets and Lodging, called Stupid. this money cannot be used for anything other than bailing u out of stupid situations

Would you agree that the best opening move in chess is disorienting your opponent by kissing them senseless

Supercorp au where they're championship chess rivals and Lena realizes that Kara does worse when she wears low cut shirts
