Kara visits orphanages with Lena every other Saturday, not just the ones in National City. They do events there where people can buy autographs by donating to the orphanage.
Kids get more exposure to potential adoptees and sometimes the people that came for supergirl start volunteering bc they fall in love with spending time with the kids.
LCorp holds “get to know the kids” events with big carnivals and potential families and kids get to know each other in a light-hearted environment.
There’s a Luthor Family scholarship that comes directly out of Lena’s pocket with 10 benefactors a year and LCorp gives 100 full ride scholarships a year.
Lena and Kara just continue adopting kids, especially the ones others consider “less adoptable” and Kara always goes out of her way to find other aliens from planets that are long gone.
Lena sets up a group for humans raising aliens so that the kids can still learn about their culture. Kara uses DEO files to find out what she can about orphans that landed when they couldn’t remember their home planet and have no one left, like Kal-El.
Lena has an “extended family” network in the triple digits and she knows everyone’s birthdays.
i actually have a lot of feelings about these parallels
the rogue one!trio are basically the broken versions of the tfa!trio
bodhi and finn: breaking through the banality of evil to do good (with the help of a friend!), but bodhi never had any type of training and was actually *tortured* for his deeds, so his mind’s durability is compromised
cassian & poe: believing whole-heartedly in their cause and act as spies, but poe got to grow up in peacetime with his family, while cassian grew up in war with none. poe’s superior sends him on dangerous missions, but (most likely) actually cares for his health. cassian’s superior thinks only of winning, of getting ahead. (headcanon: if cassian had survived, he’d be absolutely against poe being a spy. not only because he knew Poe’s parents, but because he believes the work would break Poe’s spirit).
jyn & rey: both abandoned by family, but rey is able to hold onto her hope, while jyn completely loses hers.
the tfa!trio are what the ro!trio could have been, in a kinder universe. if we were to go meta, maybe the brief period of balance in the Force post-OT tilted the tfa!trio to a better life (if still tainted), whereas the imbalance in the ro!trio twisted theirs.
also, the ro!trio all died, so, y’know, can’t be more broken than that
when you make a gifset because you can’t fomr the words properly but someone else does and they write them under that gifset – thank you so much 🙂
