#I dislike dinah being characterised as arrowmum
Text
Three tellings of the same story
From Green Lantern/Green Arrow #86 (aka Snowbirds Don't Fly pt. 2), the Green Arrow 80th anniversary special, and Arsenal #1
#Tw drugs#Snowbirds don't fly#Roy Harper#Speedy#red arrow#Arsenal#Dinah Lance#Black Canary#I dislike dinah being characterised as arrowmum#But that is her boy#Fuck the new 52 for erasing this#Killer Croc didn't do shit#also love how the two retellings are from each of their perspectives#One from Roy’s#One from Dinah’s

The fact that "#not roy #but his dad" are always your tags for Ollie is the cutest thing
My full collection of 'but his's-
#hehe thank you for the ask anon <3#not roy#the only arrows i tend not to tag like that are dinah and lian#I've already talked briefly about my dislike of Dinah being characterised as the 'arrowmum“#when you label a female character as a mother fandom tends to reduce her down to that trait#see selina kyle in (some of) the batmom aus#so i prefer their relationship and her relationship with Ollie's other kids to be more#vaguelly maternal and not quite motherhood#and usually if I'm talking about Lian and Roy's not involved#It's in current continuity when she's Cheshire Cat#and the same issue kinda arises where she's only considered based on her relationship to roy#if that makes sense#whereas with mia she's barely actually with roy in canon#and 'sister' is less of a strictly defined gender role#so i feel more comfortable tagging her with that#anyway I'm rambling
