[firewasabeast]

this was going to be longer, but I'm tired. Here's a little morning louliver for you all!

The obnoxious sound of an alarm going off brought Oliver out of a deep sleep. Grumpily, he reached back toward the nightstand and grabbed his phone, shutting the alarm off.

It was then when he realized that, as he moved, the body beside him moved with him.

Oliver cleared his throat. “Why are your hands on my ass?” he asked, voice still gravelly from sleep.

Lou snuggled in closer, pressing his nose against Oliver's neck. “Hands were cold,” he answered simply, like that made all the sense in the world.

Oliver took a deep breath. “Your hands feel warm to me.”

“Because they’re on your ass,” Lou mumbled into the crook of his neck. “Like little heaters.”

Oliver could tell Lou was already starting to doze off again, his breaths evening back out. He pressed a kiss to Lou's forehead. “I’m gonna have to take my ass back, Lou.”

“Ugh!” Lou groaned. “Why?”

“Because I have to go to work.”

“Too early.” He took the opportunity to squeeze Oliver’s cheeks. “Stay.”

“As much as I’d love that,” he replied, his hips automatically shifting closer to Lou’s, “I can’t.” He wiggled his butt a bit, just enough to annoy Lou into pulling his hands out of his pajama pants.

“Grrr,” Lou growled, peeking one eye open. The room was still pitch dark, but he could make out Oliver’s silhouette in front of him. “I think you’re sick. You should stay home.”

Oliver sighed, shaking his head. “Are you forgetting you’re also going to be coming to the same place in like three hours? You’ll barely have time to miss me.”

“Miss you right now.”

Oliver rolled his eyes. “You’re insane,” he said before leaning forward and giving Lou another kiss, this time on the lips. Then, reluctantly, he forced himself to get up and out of bed.

*****

He’d just finished pouring coffee into his mug when he heard familiar footsteps walking up behind him.

“Why’re you up?” Oliver asked without bothering to turn around.

Lou stumbled over, pressing himself against Oliver’s back and resting his head on his shoulder. “My hands got cold,” he grumbled, wrapping his arms around Oliver’s waist.

Oliver snorted, rolling his eyes for the second time that morning. “Sorry,” he replied, stirring his coffee. “Would you like me to chop off my butt and leave it here with you?”

“Oh!” Lou perked up at that. “Could you?”

“No.”

Lou made a noise similar to a whine. “Then why’d you even offer?”

Oliver squeezed Lou’s hands before turning around to face him. He wrapped his arms around Lou’s shoulders. “You’ll be there by eight, right?”

“Probably a little earlier.”

“I’ll have a break by the time you’re done in hair and makeup. Meet me in my trailer?”

Lou nodded, face scrunching up into a smile. “Walk the dogs and a couch nap?”

“Walk the dogs and a couch nap,” Oliver confirmed.

“Good deal.” A quick glance to the lips and Lou was leaning in, giving Oliver a loud, smack of a kiss.

“See you soon,” he said, reaching down to give Oliver’s butt one final squeeze. “Keep your ass warm for me, please.”

Oliver smiled. “I’ll try my best.”

can you guess where tim’s other hand is

Every time someone writes anything re: the Arrows (esp Ollie) and treat it like they have these like Bat-level strict morals or just otherwise being really "strictly principled"???? it drives me crazy. Like I don't wanna be "you haven't read the comics" but... They haven't.

Ollie, very famously, killed not only Parallax (something which was very difficult for him bcs Hal was his friend, for all their fighting), but also the Electrocutioner (for killing Lian, maiming Roy, and destroying most of his city). There was that whole thing in Crossroads when he worked with Huntress, Catwoman, and Deathstroke, and was killing criminals with guns! Killed a man torturing Dinah! Hell, even further, at least once he helped someone who he considered to have been justified in killing someone escape the law!

I'm pretty sure literally all of his proteges have harder lines than he does (Jason criticizes Mia for limiting her angles to non-lethal in Seeing Red, Oliver being shown to use more brutal methods in a team up with Roy in comic I admittedly don't remember the exact name of & Connor disapproved of Ollie training with the guy who trained Deathstroke to learn the "killing arts" re: 1YL, tho idr if that was more of a killing disapproval or a "dad, really, this guy is awful tho???" kinda deal. Uhhh... Emiko might be an exception to this probably, at least inasmuch as you can consider those two his proteges given I don't think Ollie really trained them that much/they mostly came to him like that). Hell, when Mia killed someone he wasn't mad about her killing so much as that it was her (an innocent kid) that did it!

In the marriage comic, Dinah had apparently killed Ollie in self-defense! (Before concluding that it hadn't been him despite all evidence to the contrary, ect., ect., ect.)

Roy worked for the gov't and definitely killed for them when it was called for. Fell in love with an assassin and walked away instead of turning her in or killing her like he was probably supposed to do despite knowing she'd likely go on to keep killing more people (You could call this a statement on his love for her, which on some level, yeah, but on the other level shows that his lines aren't so well-defined.) The only reason he hadn't killed the Electrocutioner himself is bcs Ollie got there first. For all the complaints re: RHATO/RH&A they are still considered current canon (to an extent, I think some specific things around it might be retconned?) & he has killed in there too.

Emiko as a former assassin/being trained & raised to be a "perfect killer" by Shado I feel is rather self-explanatory.

There's probably more but I'm runnin' out of steam here. Anyways. My point is that while they're not exactly actively murderous vigilantes, they FAR from have some kind of no-kill rule. They'll typically try something else first, but when lines are crossed (like their family) or there doesn't appear to be a better solution that would actually work, they're plenty willing. They're not "Batfam 2.0 but lamer and not as powerful," which seems to be the predominant interpretation most of the time.

EDIT: I have a confession to make, I mis-cited who Ollie killed. I forgot there were TWO GUYS involved bcs it's been so long and it's not exactly a storyline I like revisiting, so they sort of blended in to my mind. The one who tore off Roy's arm, as well as sent the order to set off the bomb that killed Lian was Prometheus, and THAT'S the one who Ollie killed. Roy most definitely did in fact end up killing the Electrocutioner, who was the trigger man who pushed the actual button to set it off, and for a brief period did in fact go on to try and kill Deathstroke before he came to terms with Lian's death. Ollie did also have some regret for killing Prometheus and did try to stop Roy, because he felt that it was a pointless revenge which... tbh considering some of his other things I'm like "okay buddy, little hypocritical there but you are nothing if not a knowingly flawed man trying to do the best by those around him."

I think it’s funny that one of the primary conflicts of this season of Invincible is the fandom discourse of Batman and Steven Universe combined into one.

new discord stickers just dropped

[butchdykenormallen]

hello fanartist. in front of you is a character who is canonically fat, and mentioned to be fat in the media. you have 30 seconds to explain to me why you've drawn them skinny and box shaped without saying "its my style," "i don't know how to draw fat people," or "i didn't know they were fat" before i push you onto the landmine behind you. the timer starts now.

Happy Valentine’s Day 🎀💕

Don’t mind the differences in style. Imagine it as if Oliver and Percy did themselves. Like matching pfp<3.

Also the bad hand anatomy with Oliver’s, I struggled for days

Done (heavy quotation marks) with monster Ody @evergreen292 ;)

tbh I couldn’t for the life of me pick a color palette I liked And Render it so I gave up on color. Enjoy the half assery.

Tbh I’ve just been call it Ithacan Naga, but it’s objectively it’s a mix of snake, owl/bird, and human. So 🤷.

Tbh the wings are supposed to be white/gray-brown, cause owls & Hermes, while his scales are supposed to be an oscillating scale from sea green-blue to purple-tinted gray. Uhm. Evidently that sorta didn’t happen but also did. So.

The purple/grayer scales are gonna be more around with the feathers and wings.

Those fin colors are. Too blue and too bright but I love the colors themselves so they’re staying for now.

Uhm. That’s it for now, ig. I’m sorta on a timer rn and I’m tired so <3

The writing bit with this is still in the works (😭)

[sammygender]

something sooooo interesting about sam saying ‘i have powers’ present tense in american nightmare. even tho he proceeds to use past tense when talking about what he could do… he still identifies as having them. taking that as confirmation they’re still within him and he’s just too deeply traumatised by s4/5 to use them again <3 if this show was good though sam‘s psychic powers would’ve made a comeback

[rowanraven08]

Trans guys with religious trauma gotta be one of my favorite flavors, I’m gobbling this man up

And yes I’m convinced he smokes. Does he have religious guilt over it? Yes. Do I even know if it was considered bad for a priest to smoke back then? Absolutely not. But he deserves a cigarette after all this shit
