Kara: Telling someone you love them is such a wonderful part of human connection. Like, your friend saves the last doughnut for you so you say 'I love you', or your sister cracks up at her own dorky pun and it makes you laugh so you say 'I love you'. I just think the world would be a better place if we were all open enough to say 'I love you' a little more often. Alex: ... So that's why you blurted out 'I love you' to Lena in the middle of Game Night? Kara: Exactly! Alex: Sure, totally makes sense. Alex: ... Now explain why she stuck her tongue down your throat straight after. Kara: Kara: Kara: Sticking your tongue down someone's throat is such a wonderful part of human con- Alex: BYE.

Roman floor mosaic in the House of Amphitrite, Tunisia.

This Roman villa known as the House of Amphitrite, dating back to the 2nd century (the Golden Age of the Roman Empire), located in the archaeological site of Bulla Regia, Jendouba Governorate, Tunisia, has the best preserved mosaic floor in the world . This image only shows a detail. The entire floor of this Domus is made entirely of marvelous mosaics.

A very serious show.

Randomly remembered the way Kara brought Mon-el flowers and was beaming like a gentleman after their first(?) hookup and how pissed (😤) I was at the time that he just dropped them on the table (without even getting them a vase!) like they didn't really signify anything. And then I was thinking about the flowers Kara brought Lena after Jack died and how differently Lena would have treated them, given her character. Like, I imagine she left them out in a prominent spot in her office at first. But after a few days she may have dried and pressed them into the pages of a book, to preserve the memory of being comforted even in the midst of her great sorrow. Maybe it was even a book she was reading to help her cope with her grief. A very helpful book (📖). That she later, uh, lent. To someone else who was grieving. An ex-best friend maybe...

Anyway, just imagining Kara flipping through the book Lena gave her at a time when their friendship was arguably at its lowest and finding the distinctive imprint of the flowers she'd once given her. Echoes of the love and care they'd had for one another. And how later, after the tears and back and forth blaming and Lex nonsense are all done, Kara might be prompted to reach out again and offer another bouquet. Because Lena isn't the kind to ever just throw love away.

HEY THIS HURT!!!!! HEY ANON THIS HURT ME, come out here I just wanna talk
