Bianca, strolling up to Yoko and Enid

Yoko: This can’t be good.

Bianca: Your girlfriend is hanging out with Xavier a lot.

Enid, gripping the edge of her desk watching Xavier and Wednesday for dear life from the back of the class: Oh really?

Bianca, starts walking away: Yeah.

Enid: Did you come over here just to fucking—

Bianca, waving back to her own seat with a smile: Yeah!

Enid: I hate her.

Yoko: I could put fish in her lunch.

Enid: Not the time, Yoko.

Inspired by my newest platonic tumblr crush @caitlynscat show all of their posts love and affection.

how would you describe arrowfamily in canon? Cause i have seen conflicting things ranging from "Oliver Queen is a terrible horrible person" to "canon arrowfamily is what people think batfam should be like/if you want fanon batfam you want canon arrowfam" and it is confusing

Disclaimer first. A full, proper, arrowfam read-through is next on my list once I finally catch up with the bats, but I haven't gotten there yet. I have still read a whole bunch of comics, and by virtue of how the DC universe works, I've seen a fair bit of the arrows scattered throughout. (In particular, I've read a lot of Roy via Titans and Outsiders.)

So I can give a broad strokes answer here, but I'm not going to try to claim a deep meta analysis of the arrows yet.

I think the quickest way to explain the contradictory information is this:

batfam fans take up most of the space in DC fandom

for whatever reason, it has become highly popular bat fanon to use Oliver Queen as a scapegoat Designated Terrible Dad to show how much better and cooler and nicer Bruce is.

This is not a fair or accurate depiction of Ollie.

(Nor, for that matter, an accurate depiction of Bruce, but that fanon diversion is intentional and less like throwing shrapnel at a guy who isn't even part of this.)

People who actually read comics and like Ollie therefore try to push back on this extreme and ooc demonization of him, and also vaunt the arrows in general.

Said pushback is sometimes an exaggerated overcompensation.

Basically, no, Oliver Queen is not a terrible horrible person, nor even a terrible horrible father.

And I would say the canon arrows are a lot closer to what fans are desperately trying to find (or just make up) in the bats. There are various things that are true of the canon arrows/Ollie and of the fanon bats/Bruce that are not true of the canon bats/Bruce. [All post-crisis disclaimer.] Examples:

Ollie is outspokenly liberal and this is a well accepted piece of his canon characterization. (Meanwhile DC writers try very very hard to make Bruce Totally Apolitical and therefore acceptable to all readers. Not that anything is ever actually apolitical.)

Ollie also hates cops! And rich people! For a significant chunk of comics, he lost his fortune and was better off for it, realizing he could never be truly good if he were still a billionaire.

The common fan argument about how Bruce totally isn't abusive; he's a good dad who's just been written that way once or twice by bad writers is...actually not that far off from describing Ollie? He hit Roy once in a comic about How Not To Respond To Addiction; in another comic he was revealed to have secretly known about and abandoned Conner, despite this not lining up with previous comics showing how he really wanted to be a dad. Both of these things are canon and bad, no doubt! But he is also usually a lot better, and has shown an ability to grow and change. (Meanwhile canon Bruce just has a consistent pattern of abuse.)

Subjective, but Ollie seems to really think of himself as a father and delight in it in a way that Bruce just kinda...doesn't.

All the arrows, from what I can tell, actually like each other.

They don't try to murder each other either.

But, as you surely notice, being closer to batfanon desires doesn't mean the arrows literally are the fanon batfam. Like the bats, they are not a perfect model nuclear family (nor should they be!). They too have had conflict and dysfunction (Roy and Oliver stopped talking for a significant period of time!). And they do indeed exist in a comic book world driven by crime and superheroics and conflict, not a fluffy fanfiction world driven by comfort and interpersonal reassurances. (This is not a dunk on fanfic, which I love, just a reminder).

so tl;dr, the arrows aren't a perfectly fluffy fanon family either...but if you see a batfam fan throwing Ollie/other arrows under the bus to make their fave look better, that is definitely bullshit.

#* #ask #anon #*dc #dc #arrows #ollie queen #canon vs fanon #ALSO if you have come to dc comics via batfandom #and the thing you are MOST interested in is this idea of a big loving superhero/vigilante family #may i recommend to you: anything except batman comics #the superfam is very loving and supportive! #the flashes are perhaps the most functional and i hear are having a great run of comics right now! #wonder woman's cast is full of respect and love and bonds of sisters and warriors! #and yes even the arrows get closer on account of liking each other! #the bats are so goddamn dysfunctional and that's why i love them #and if you are on board with that too then jump on in and have fun #but if you are looking for a giant family that is all love #you are probably not going to have a good time. you are going to be desperately pulling out slivers of what you want #from a piece of fiction that is not actually designed for it. and indeed often designed for the opposite. #and that is not a failure of your tastes. but it is also not a failure of the fiction!! #it's a mismatch #you want to go read about wally west instead i think

all couples have their fights and so do Éomer and Lothíriel, but the really difficult one was deciding which of them gets Arwen as the maid of honour for their wedding.

#Éomer #Eomer #Lothíriel #Lothiriel #Arwen #I have this headcanon that Éomer and Arwen are low-key very good friends #it maybe started with him being all starry-eyed when he first saw her #but developed into a genuine friendship because maybe they both felt a bit like outsiders in Gondorian high society #so they have each other's back and whenever there's something going on they don't Get they will exchange incredulous looks #on the other hand there is Lothíriel: #her father is among the most high-ranking nobles of the land #which would also make her one of the top women of Gondor #maybe she would even act as Arwen's lady-in-waiting #and if she did I can easily imagine them becoming friends #and Lothíriel herself becoming a queen might seek for Arwen's advice and support #also: Arwen is among the first to notice Éomer making eyes at Lothíriel (and vice versa) #Arwen Ships it and gives errands to Lothíriel that cause her to run into Éomer #and invites Éomer to events where he is likely to meet Lothíriel #also she will subtly praise one to the other at appropriate occasions #is Arwen the best wingwoman in the history of Gondor? you bet she is #conclusion: both Éomer and Lothíriel want Arwen as a maid of honour #headcanon #text

Being the most correct Dungeon Meshi by shipping Laios / Falin / Marcille 😤

#can't write siblings who can only understand each other and expect me not to ship incest yeesh #marcille is so funny elf groomer queen <3 #i support her questionable relationship <3

[merrysithmas]

seeing Mon Mothma slay as a senator makes me sad for the life Padme could have had if she didnt get involved in the most toxic and deluded relationship with a dude who married her because he was projecting grief about his mother's death (lol anakin we love you, but no).

and she married him of course because she was desperate for some freedom in her life which had been utterly political since age 14 - she never got to grow or experience life as a child. she never really got anything but making war decisions as a literal child. of course she was a multifacted tragic character and fascinating - i mean she stood for so much good & law & order but then totally ignored/stayed silent on the murder of an entire Tusken village to get what she wanted emotionally. that's some really cool writing, honestly.

but as per the tragedy genre they were terrible together and truly didn't seem to know one another at all. they were one another's psycho-emotional crutch - not one another's spouse, and of course it ended as it did. not saying they didn't care for one another, they did ("There's still good in him", "Is she safe? Is she alright?") but they were obviously unstable and their dynamic wasn't built on genuine understanding or even true romantic love, imo. it was based on their own unsatisfied inner needs and projecting it on one another. a really interesting story dynamic that makes for compelling viewing.

Padme's political legacy as the Queen of Naboo/Naboo Senator/founder of the Rebellion is THE most important part of her character, and hopefully if she is alluded to at all by Bail or Mon this is mentioned. the fact that she began to mistrust the Senate/her marriage etc is such an important part of her character. i would love love love this!

super sad stuff! thanks star wars lol

#andor #padme amidala #actually what i really want is a Young Queen show about padme and her handmaidens #he family in naboo #the separation from the gungans #clovis! and her other LI that she mentioned to anakin in the lake country of naboo #was his name Palo? #i forget! #im not anti anidala i actually like their dynamic as it functions in a Tragedy and i think it makes for a cool story but they werent matched #they werent right for each other at all imo and TCW did a good job at showing that i think #i like their scenes and their weird little thing haha and how it condemns them #prime Unhappily Ever After viewing #and ofc if you genuinely ship them by all means im not hating i support u

my little sister and her best friend played "teen pregnancy" in the grocery store earlier (buying baby yogurt and loudly talking about their non-existent babies and pregnancies in an aisle full of people)

#queen of committing to the bit #they were talking about how their baby daddies left them and so they support each other and split childcare costs #how they need to pee way more often now #how they look ''so much older'' now #and how their parents are kinda supportive but make them do all the work caring for their babies

me, thinking about this all day a few days ago: man, i wish i was better at drawing Pig Techno, he loved fanart like that

Techno, seeing the opportunity to endorse his brand and taking it:

mans wants to make sure i know how to draw him hsjskskshsj

i’ll keep this brief, but i’m a firm believer that people can send signs to you after they die, and no one can convince me that this wasn’t him :,)

also i think that Techno really wanted me to know it was him cause minutes after these clouds dissipated the sky and clouds turned PINK and the sun turned RED

IM NOT KIDDING-

blood for the blood god ❤️

i miss you, you crazy nerdy pig man, but i’m doing better knowing you’re having a great time somewhere messing with me and countless others i’m sure, and you’re not in pain anymore.

Technoblade never dies!!! 👑🐷💖

#it’s been a hundred days #which is crazy #this has been in my drafts for months cause i didn’t have a proper time to post it #but this feels right #i’m glad so see that even after a hundred days the content being made of him by fans hasn’t stopped #we’re still carrying on his legacy <3 #i know that some people may not have the same beliefs as me #but this genuinely helped me a lot with grieving #for context this was only a few days after the video got posted #i know a lot of people have posted videos today about Techno and it’s made people grieve all over again #but maybe if seeing this helped me it will help you #i believe he’s up in heaven having the best time of his life #im very strong in my faith and i understand if you don’t share that #and i support whatever you believe and whatever faith you hold #but the mental image of him chatting it up with Sun Tzuis fantastic #also imagine him meeting the Queen and being like ‘i can’t believe i met you before Tommy did’ #Techno will brag about that to Tom when they see each other again some day #someday years and years from now when they meet each other #my beliefs give me faith that that will happen #but no matter how you grieve or if you agree with my faith or not #i hope everyone is doing good #don’t forget how much you and this community mean to him even now cause i’m damn sure wherever he is he’s watching all this go down hskslsh #cyncerity #cyn art #technically #technoblade fanart #techno support #technoblade #fuck cancer #i miss you techno

some people may remember me talking about my new year’s resolution to start running back in january. i set myself a target of the 10k dublin women’s mini marathon in june. i was a completely novice runner with no prior experience. and yet today…

i can honestly say i am so proud of myself. i used to play football and gaelic football when i was a kid but succumbed to the stereotype of quitting sport at 14. i kept up dance until i was 17 but have done nothing since then. so when i began training for this mini-marathon i was so not prepared, physically. and yet here i am, 6 months later, with my neat little medal.

i’ve never been so tired in my entire life. it was 22° outside today (FAR too hot for little ol irish me). but today was one of the best experiences of my life.

i wouldn’t classify myself as a runner (hell, i probably won’t even keep running after this) but i’ve never really stuck out a new year’s resolution before - so yeah. pretty proud 🏃‍♀️

#the women’s mini marathon is SUCH a lovely positive environment #and SO diverse #old women young women cis women trans women supportive men drag queens and everyone everyone everyone supporting each other #it was absolutely fab

[wonder-worker]

people really do not know what they're talking about when it comes to Elizabeth Woodville's social status, huh?

#yes Elizabeth was without a doubt considered too low-born to be queen #no she was not a commoner and nobody actually called her that during her life (so I'm not sure why people are claiming that they did?) #Elizabeth's social status was not a problem in itself; it was a problem in the context of queenship and marrying into royalty #Context is important in this and for literally everything else when it comes to analyzing history. Any discussion is worthless without it. #obviously pop culture-esque articles claiming that she was 'a commoner who captured the king's heart' are wrong; she wasn't #But emphasizing that ACTUALLY she was part of the gentry with a well-born mother and just leaving it at that as some sort of “GOTCHA!” #is equally if not more irresponsible and entirely irrelevant to discussions of the actual time period we're studying. #Elizabeth *was* considered unworthy and unacceptable as queen precisely because of her lower social status #her father and brother had literally been derided as social-climbers by Salisbury Warwick and Edward himself just a few years earlier #the Woodvilles' marriage prospects clearly reflected their status (and 'place') in society: EW herself had first married a knight and all #siblings married within the gentry to people of a similar status. compare that to the prestigious marriages arranged after EW became queen #Elizabeth having a lower social status was not 'created' by propaganda against her; it fueled and shaped propaganda against her #that's a huge huge difference; it's irresponsible and silly to conflate the two as I've seen a recent tumblr post cavalierly do #like I said she was considered too low-born to be queen long before any of the propaganda Warwick Clarence or Richard put out against her #and the fact that Elizabeth was targeted on the basis of her social status was in itself novel and unprecedented #no queen before her was ever targeted in such a manner; Clearly Elizabeth was considered notably 'different' in that regard #(and was quite literally framed as the enemy and destroyer of 'the old royal blood of this realm' and all its actual 'inheritors' like..) #ngl this sort of discussion always leaves a bad taste in my mouth #because it's not like England and France (et all) are at war or consider each other mortal enemies in the 21st century #both are in fact western european imperialistic nations who've been nothing but a blight to the rest of the world including my own country #yet academic historians clearly have no problem contextualizing the xenophobia that medieval foreign queens faced as products of their time #and sympathizing with them accordingly (Eleanor of Provence; Joan of Navarre; Margaret of Anjou; etc)(at least by their own historians) #Nor were foreign queens the “worst” targets of xenophobia: that was their attendants or in times of war commoners or soldiers #who actually had to bear the brunt of English aggression #queens were ultimately protected and guaranteed at least a veneer of dignity and respect because of their royal status #yet once again historians and people have no problem contextualizing and understanding their difficulties regardless of all this #so what is the problem with contextualizing the classism *Elizabeth* faced and understanding *her* difficulties? #why is the prejudice against her constantly diminished & downplayed? (Ive never even seen any historian directly refer to it as 'classism') #after all it was *Elizabeth* who was more vulnerable than any queen before her due to her lack of powerful foreign or national support #and Elizabeth who faced a form of propaganda distinctly unprecedented for queens. it SHOULD be emphasized more.
