what to the ever

Was goofing around last weekend, and doodled this after Te made me think about what Kara's true nature would/should be, seeing as canon cannot make up its mind and it's painful to watch.

I don't actually think she'd be a chain-smoking teen rebel without a cause. Tho I did reminded myself of this, which I have pinned up on my YJ wall at work. :D

Heeeeeheheheheheeee. OH, CLARKSOME. We get it, Kara. We do.

*ahahahaha* Oh, Clark! *You try so hard*!

*hugs Kara forever* I've been wondering about Kara's uniform lately, and what it should/"should" actually look like -- assuming Martha isn't a giant perv... hmmm...

What do you think?

whellz, I am a staunch opponent of the open midriff. Martha must be an awesome progressive woman to let Kara go out like that in public. XD And it's not like I hate all midriffs indiscriminately, I like them quite a lot in the right place on the right person. AND, the more I'm learning about Kara the more I think that maybe she'd actually dress like that. But that's a big Maaaaybe. It seems like if nothing else she has a respect for the "uniform", and her job, and at least in this respect she'd be appropriate?

Most of all I hate it from the aesthetic POV. And since the super family is invulnerable, aesthetics is the #1 consideration!! (along with tradition and blah blah blah)

I made a chart. LOL Of why the classic uniform is so much better. The colors and shapes are simplified, there's "less going on" which makes for a stronger impression.

God, that was such lousy canon! It's like they thought we'd all be okay with it if they said a woman chose to dress her like a superpowered [insert problematically-gendered slut-shaming word here.] *sigh* I hope to *Christ* that gets retconned even if the suit doesn't change, because -- meh.

I mean, okay, in one of my WIPs, I talk a little about the Kents and my theory -- based on how the Clark-in-my-head grows up -- that, no matter where they stood politically and socially before they took Clark in, they damned well made a command decision to be as open-minded as humanly possible as soon as they got an inkling of just *how* alien their beloved son was going to grow up to be. It just makes sense.

That said, Martha knows nothing about Kara at that point but that she's a young girl, and confused, and somewhat fearful, and also *a Kryptonian*. Who dressed *really damned conservatively* in public. It -- makes no damned sense.

And it's not

I *can* see her as someone who would willfully choose to expose herself out of a sense of rebellion and a need to express some of the confusion in her mind, but it's a little bit -- and sometimes a lot -- of a stretch. I mean, have they even tried to handwave something in about Kara feeling stifled on Krypton?

Yes, that is my problem exactly - I don't know what is going through her mind. Is she confused about her current role in Earth society? Is she stifled in any way that would cause her to act out rebelliously? I'll gladly consider any possibility as long as it's backed up and consistent. I do think that she wants Clark's approval, acceptance from the only family member and the new world -- thus she'll behave herself on the job, and dress for the job. No stupid bared midriffs! XD

But even that would be an experiment, and I think as she got older she would damned well cover up even more -- both as a response to the kind of fucked-up world we live in and as an expression of her life-long allegiance to where she came from and who
