#but you’re such a gem for asking

[ekingston]

For the ask game:

Supercorp fic where Lena runs a popular webseries/blog about plants and plant care and Kara (one of her avid subscribers) is absolutely hapless when it comes to keeping plants alive and is constantly asking Lena for help only to fail spectacularly. Lena is *convinced* Kara is fucking with her on purpose, and kinda sorta hates her virtual guts

(Now also on a03.)

Lena isn’t naive.

When she made the decision to set up a discord server for her plant vlog’s followers, she knew there was a possibility things might get messy. After all, even while remaining anonymous — she can practically hear her PR team screaming at the idea of Lena Luthor running her own verified social media account — her comment section has always been 45% earnest compliments and questions from beginner botanists and 55% unabashed thirst over her sexy hands and soothing voice. Lena imagined any possible frustration caused by having to sidestep the occasional untoward overture would be worth the satisfaction she gets from teaching fellow hobbyists to take better care of their plants. It’s nice to feel like she’s being appreciated, for a change, to be allowed to play hero in a small way, different from L-Corp’s high-stakes idealism or Supergirl’s histrionic stunts.

(She still hasn’t managed to set up a meeting with National City’s super-powered alien in residence, but she’s certain it will be any day now.)

Lena couldn’t have predicted that the most aggravating individual on her server wouldn’t turn out to be a persistent suitor, but rather a member of the plant-loving minority.

If the violence this ‘Kvers’ person routinely inflicts on their houseplants can be considered love.

Why are my plant’s leaves yellowing? had been this idiot’s first, innocuous ask. Moments later, they’d followed it up with a picture of the brown, crisp remains of what Lena had only vaguely recognized must at one point have been a vibrant green ZZ plant.

Because it’s fucking dead, Lena had wanted to reply, suggesting instead Is it possible it’s near a window where it gets too much direct light?

My place does get a good amount of sun, Kvers had responded. I kind of prefer it that way. Lena had given her a list of plants that would fare better in those conditions, and hoped that would be that.

But it didn't end there; it’s actually only gotten worse. Kvers is in Lena’s notifications what feels like every other day now with fresh doubts and queries. Why do you even have plants, Lena is tempted to respond half the time, when it’s obvious you’re too much of a moron to even be trusted to take care of yourself?

Are banana plants supposed to tear this easily? comes the next question, combined with a picture of a Dwarf Cavendish that looks to have been ripped to shreds by a wind stronger than the average tornado.

“What the fuck,” Lena mumbles to herself. Some tearing is to be expected, they’re pretty frail, she replies, before snapping and adding I advise placing it a little further away from that jet engine you must have set up in your living room, however in a disgruntled huff.

Kvers sends her only a 😳 in response.

A fresh victim is presented to her a few days later, along with Kvers’s desperate plea of Can this little guy still be saved?

Pictured is the saddest Boston fern Lena has seen in her entire life: it’s bruised grey-brown and beige where it should be a vivid emerald, and when Lena clicks the image to enlarge, she finds herself frowning at what looks like a dusting of frost still clinging to the fronds.

Ferns can recover from freezing conditions but only if their roots weren’t also affected, Lena replies very professionally, her fingers shaking with silent outrage. Though I don’t understand why you’d keep a potted fern outdoors when it’s that cold. She’s beginning to wonder if this Kvers person is a genuine imbecile or an abusive prankster. Where do you live that you’re dealing with these weather conditions in August? she demands.

Oh, um, Kvers replies and then, after a few starts and stops, Southern California.

So Kvers is absolutely fucking with her.

It takes a week before they’re asking for Lena’s input again. This buddy is looking a little rough today, they post, do you think a good soak could help perk it back up?

The miserable money tree pictured is barely clinging to life. Lena peers through the furious red haze descending over her vision and swears it looks like its few remaining leaves are singed.

Lena’s patience has run out. Are you serious? she asks. Did someone burn your building down?

Small kitchen accident Kvers has the audacity to reply.

It’s the final straw in every sense of the word. Lena will not stand for this blatant abuse a moment longer, especially if it’s done exclusively for the purpose of getting her attention. Before she can think too much about it, before her rage recedes, she sends Kvers a direct message announcing she’s coming by for a home consultation.

Where in SoCal are you exactly?

As it turns out, Kvers is right here, in National City.

She’s also a bafflingly attractive — though fidgety — blonde.

Blue eyes widen and pink lips part when she answers the door, her shoulders so broad and her arms so beefy she takes up most of the space in the doorway to her loft. Lena probably wouldn’t be able to see past her, at her endangered plants beyond, if she still wanted to.

But she can tell her loft is well-lit, like she’d mentioned — she’s framed by the sun’s dying rays, her hair and skin golden and shimmering in a way not entirely of this earth.

This explains so much, Lena realizes, relieved. The wind. The frost. The burns.

Her would-be adversary is wearing glasses and her hair is up, and her flustered demeanor seems so awkwardly genuine that Lena wonders if the image this woman projects when she’s dressed in her more familiar reds and blues is the act — if this awestruck, faded-jeans-clad cutie is the real person that’s hiding underneath.

She looks far more human than Lena would have imagined.

“You’re Lena Luthor,” she finally manages to stutter out.

Lena regards her evenly. “Good to finally meet you,” she says, and, dropping her voice a little, “Supergirl.”

⭐️my illustrious and distinguished sheriff erika! if you were to propose handcuffing gojo to the bed for some fun, how would he react?!

AMIRA IM ABOUT TO SCREAM WVXHEBSUSJSO

Personally…I’m not one for handcuffs so in this scenario HE would have to be the one to propose them and I would just laugh at first (I’m SORRY!! And besides I’d suggest ropes instead WHOOPS 👀)

But then when Satoru suggest HE’s the one being handcuffed I would be so 👀 on board oh man I’m revealing myself too much I’m gonna shut up now LOL

#Gojo could never handcuff me because I’d just laugh and make fun of him for trying to be a cop and maybe make him cry SHZGSVSYSJSK #but oh my god Amira you’re a gem thanks for this fun asks ily 💕😭💖 #Amira’s tag 🪽✨ #me and Gojo #is that a self ship tag I see 🫣 #asks and such things 💌

BOOOOM!!!!

The FE grid find out about tumblr! The PR teams decide that every driver will have an account.

So, in your opinion (and you can say why), which driver would:

• be the first to create an account

• delete the account in less than a week

• start a fight in a random post

• read their own fanfiction (if they find it)

• Have a side blog (or several)

• Have a SECRET side blog

• Have the rainbow badge

• be mistaken for a bot (bc don't know how to use the account)

• be the most famous

Good luck :))))

omg sof thanks for making this!! this is gonna be fun 😼

first of all, if i were in a formula e PR team the first thing i’d do is to actually go against that decision bc i wouldn’t want the drivers to end up like me spending half of my days here yknow

but, assuming that they actually will, i think that:

• the first one to create an account would probably be sacha as he is the youngest driver and he would just be the quickest at doing it. then he would help the older drivers create theirs as well :)

• pascal would delete his account in less than a week cause man just straight up hates social media (and bc he’s busy being a “daddy on tour”) and the fact that he hasn’t posted on instagram since june is ultimate proof of that

• do i even need to explain why the one to start a fight on a random post would be lucas? same thing for seb

• i like to think that mitch would be the one finding his own fanfiction; he would read it and actually find it quite amusing (realistically speaking though i hope this never ever happens)

• andre would have a photography side blog filled with ✨tumblr photos✨ which would actually end up being even more popular than his racing one

• have a secret side blog: nick, don’t ask why and sam (he would constant reblog “do it scared” and other quotes™️ like that)

• antonio with the rainbow badge definitely

• edoardo would totally be mistaken for a bot, get mass reported and his blog would be lost forever (i mean he wasn’t posting on it anyway)

• be the most famous: probably maximilian as, from what i’ve seen, he already is one of the most popular drivers in here and he would be the only one to actually try to interact with the fans a little more by doing some “ama”s! :)

#this was so much fun to write down #thanks again sof you’re a gem 🩷 #i love fe themed games like this #and i encourage everyone else to try to do this one why not #fe #ask game #sofia <3

When did you get your belly piercing and what made you want to get one? 💎

Oh, gosh.

Honestly, I was just looking for a way to pass the time. :”)

I just sort of figured “Why not?” and then it happened!

(I suppose that I’ve kind of always wanted one since I saw Queen Britney Spears had one though! Hers always looked so cute!! ♡)

That was at . . . the beginning of January I think??

Gosh this year is starting to go by so quickly! Has it been busy for you as well, friend? Have you done anything fun and unexpected, too? ♡ ♡

I’m not sure where you might be or what it’s been like for you, but I truly hope that everything’s been going really well!

I wish you the sweetest day, and hope you take care ~ ! XO ♡ 🌸 ⊹ * ·̩͙ 🧁

whats the left flag in ur pfp :o ? i know the genderfluid one but not the other

cassgender! i know it’s not very well known lol. it’s like.. not caring about your gender/finding it unimportant. personally, it’s not that i don’t have a gender, but whenever anyone uses gendered pronouns for me i don’t feel like it’s wrong no matter if i’m feeling masc or fem in the moment. like growing up playing online games and stuff people tended to default to he/him pronouns for me and even though i thought i was a girl at the time i never corrected them. i think the best way i can describe it is to just say it’s like haruhi from ouran? like she calls herself a girl sometimes, but when everyone assumed he were a boy he just… didn’t correct anyone until tamaki walked in on them changing. just peak not caring at all energy.

#granted. i assume everyone on tumblr has seen ouran but that’s. probably not the case lol #so if this explains nothing then you can google it- iirc there’s some fan wiki page about it that can explain it better than i can 😅 #shoutout to trans people for making me realize that people care about their gender #and that my utter disregard for it was Not very cis of me actually #fun bonus for me personally i cannot be misgendered #all pronouns all gendered terms i feel nothing call me whatever #try to be a bigot by calling me by my agab but i’m immune #you’re trying to use electric attacks on me but i’m a ground type boyyyyy #…though also i do forget that other people care about gender sometimes so like. that is a drawback #not trying to misgender ppl just like ‘oh i forgot the word girl was gendered again’ #not a gem #ask
