Arrowfam - Blog Posts

I really needed to draw this with Jason and Roy...

How to properly tag shit because so many tags are borderline unusable in this fandom.

- if you are in the Roy Harper tag, and any Jason Todd other than Robin!Jason is mentioned, you should tag RHATO.

- if you are in the Wally West tag, and Dick Grayson is in your post, you should tag titans or yjanimated.

- if you are in the arrowfam tag, there shouldn't be bats in your post. if you are in the wonderfam tag, there shouldn't be bats in your post. if you are in the green lantern tags, there shouldn't be bats in your post. if there are bats in your post, then tag it as titans/justice league/whatever based on the bat in your post. make it possible to filter out unwanted characters.

- if a character is not mentioned, don't put your unrelated posts in their tag. i cannot understand why the lian harper tag is the way that it is, and i sure would like for it to not be that way.

Blacklists only work if we tag things properly. I can barely scroll through the Roy Harper tag despite having RHATO, red hood and the outlaws, and jayroy all black listed because of improperly tagged stuff. I know we all want our posts to be seen, but the fandom is a healthier, less toxic place when we help each other out. People can't filter for things they enjoy if we overrun their tags with unrelated stuff, and then that just ends in arguments.

Here's some Roys in honor of reaching the end of this post <3

And a Klarion the witch boy for good measure :)

I just realized the girls vs boys ratio in the arrowfamily and I'm in shock-

Girls:

Dinah

Emiko

Sienna

Lian

Mia

Cissie

Jade (yes she counts).

+ Artemis in young justice. She's also very popular arrowfamily character.

I think Sin also counts as arrowfamily but I'm not sure.

So 7-9 girls depends on how you count.

Boys:

Oliver

Roy

Connor

And that's it???

I'm currently hyperfocusing on Lian so I started to think about the arrowfamily and I realized it.

That's so different from the batfamily where the female characters often don't get enough attention and are treated horribly.

I think that instead of being super apprehensive about Jason and him dating Roy, Oliver should take one look at him and then one look at Bruce and go oh, I'm about to be so annoying.

Oliver starts being so nice to Jason. So nice. Inviting him to family dinners. Giving him both his hero communications and personal phone number and telling him to call whenever he needs something. He gives him new tech and keeps updating his weapons and armor. He helps with missions and clean up and says nothing if Jason is a little rough, apart from patting him on the back and saying good job. He starts keeping his picture inside his wallet and has other pictures of Jason, Roy and Lian framed in the house and tells everyone about him. He starts calling him son-in-law first and then just son and then calls him a Harper and eventually a Queen.

At first it was just to annoy Bruce, but after the first time he tells Jason that he did a good job and Jason starts to tear up a little, Oliver goes oh no, oh I'm actually doing this now. This my boy now. I don't care if he and Roy break up or something, this is my boy now.

Bruce still thinks he's just doing it for the sole purpose of pissing him off, though, and he is so fucking mad. The Justice League meetings have turned into a Cold War zone.

Bruce starts to being so nice to Jason as well, forcing himself to ignore some of the more outrageous things Jason does, and Jason is so, so fucking confused.

I know he’s just lying to protect his secret identity but I’m sobbing over the idea of Jack Drake being the Tony Hawk of philanthropists in Gotham
