I've put a lot of time and effort into the concept of Roy and Lian Harper becoming associated with the preboot Legion of Super-Heroes, because to me I see the Harpers and the Legionnaires were abandoned by the narrative when it was decided they didn't matter to a larger name character.

The Legionnaires went for several years without needing Superboy in their book. Hell, they basically kicked him out of his own comic. They were one of DC's most popular teams and managed just fine without his ongoing presence.

Roy was developing just fine as Arsenal without Green Arrow's presence. In fact Ollie was dead for most of the period where Roy really came into the name. While Lian grew beyond her role as the cute infant prop she was in the 80s, gaining an insightful personality and a legitimate presence in the Titans books.

Then all of that went down the drain as soon as some editor decided none of it mattered. The Legion was screwed over because DC never bothered to consider what would happen to them after they removed Superboy entirely from Superman's history, at which point the Legion's entire existence was thrown out of whack. Despite their strong fan base and deep lore, DC couldn't stop to factor in how they'd be effected by John Byrne's Man of Steel. It would be over 20 years until DC finally allowed the Legion to be part of Superman's history again, and then that was quickly screwed up when they overhauled his history AGAIN in the New 52.

Roy and Lian were screwed over because DC decided they needed to overhaul Green Arrow and Black Canary thanks to the failure of the GA/BC marriage. Even though Lian had little to do with the Green Arrow comics - she only appeared in ONE Green Arrow before she died - she was deemed unnecessary by editorial. Lian died, and Roy was twisted into a parody of himself to make him another failure to haunt both Ollie and Dinah's consciences. While he was running around with Jade in Deathstroke's bastard Titans, his parental figures were free to mourn how they failed him without ever really grasping just how deep that failure ran.

As of right now, the Legion's status now hinges entirely on how relevant they are to Superman's history. Instead of the childhood friends of Clark Kent, they were replaced by a bastardized copy which gleefully took Jon Kent away from his family to try and mold him into their perceived image of how he needed to be, solidifying the loathed age-up.

The idea of Roy and Lian being a family again seemed like actual poison to DC's editors as Roy spent years deemed an accessory to Red Hood, of all people, while Lian was randomly picked to be Catwoman's new protégé in a poorly executed story which only made the timeline more confusing. Even when it looked like father and daughter could finally reunite, it only happened when it was convenient to Green Arrow's narrative. They don't get to be near each other unless Ollie benefits from the interactions. Roy knew Lian was alive again for over two years but wasn't allowed to do anything to find her until they were both in a Green Arrow book. And they still were torn apart from each other, with Roy's status being used to once more haunt his mentor while Lian's the one doing... whatever.

To me, I've seen how the Legion and the Harpers have both been failed by the narrative of the DCU. Their accomplishments and their roles were deemed inconsequential if they weren't in service of some other A-List character (or B-List in Red Hood's case), and despite how DC keeps promising things will change the same problems keep repeating.

Rhysand: Do you?

Feyre: Do I?

Rhysand: I don’t think you do

Feyre: I don’t think I do

Rhysand: but it’s your choice.

Feyre: Its my choice… I don’t want to anymore, what was I thinking again?

Rhysand: How I am the greatest high lord who gives you a choice

Feyre: Of course, how could I forget?

"no endo is claiming to have did" factoid statistical error. endo georg, who lives in a cave and experienced hell trauma that led to a DID diagnosis from a licensed professional, is someone you overlooked on purpose to pander to sysmeds

Hear me out: you can ship JayVik without falling into or using rhetoric that fits the disposable black girlfriend trope. You can ship JayVik without using Mel as some conceived ploy or antagonistic plot device that makes her out of character. You can ship JayVik without falling into misogynistic rhetoric (eg. viewing female characters as disposable or stepping tools, amongst other things). You can ship JayVik without erasing the impact Mel has had on Jayce and their relationship because, whether you shipped it or not or even gave it the time of day, Mel and Jayce did care for each other, and to deny that or say Viktor held more importance/impact than her in Jayce's life to where she's viewed as "unnecessary" just to further your ship is so wrong and, whether you intended for it or not, does carry undertones where black characters, especially black female characters, emotional impact on others is ignored or downplayed even though there's context to support just how important it is/they are. Lastly, you can ship JayVik without using anti-black and misogynoir type rhetoric because the amount that has flooded this fandom, but especially from some fans of this ship, is atrocious. Ship what you like, but be respectful and careful with certain things you say, is all I'm saying.

my toxic trait is that i think feyre painting the cabin was mild, she should’ve burnt it down

[cloudysarts]

absolutely zero reason for them to have so much tension.

~i dont support vivziepop or her shows + this art/redesign is from my rewrite~

I didn't know what to draw, so here is more of Anti Noah because despite him not being made by me, I still absolutely hate him (/hj)

( @craterrrrr is the person who made AN. I don't know if I have to @ them every time or not, what am I doing?)

Snape's worst memory is so wrongly framed by fandom because it wasn't the incident with the marauders that was the worst part. It was unfair towards him, yes! But that alone never made it his worst memory at all. also, James and sirius didn't pick on him for being poor or abused? that's a complete hc. they didn't get along from the first train ride (house prejudices snowballing further and lily).

His worst memory is of lily finally breaking away. It's him letting slip a slur against the one person who was his actual friend. that's the point of swm

Team Green calling Rhaenyra every misogynistic slur under the sun for the crime of having sex just for Alicent to be having sex with Criston while Blood and Cheese happened is pure comedy

[meanqueens]

i think i just pinpointed yet another thing that struck (irked) me about the line “you’re wiser than i believed you to be alicent hightower” and that’s that it lowkey reeks of targ exceptionalism, like how could this dragonless girl without a drop of ““superior”” blood ever possibly be smarter than me, rhae/nys, the most specialist special to ever special???

[wishfuldivine]

From now on, whoever preaches and is an advocate for Mental Health Matters towards the drivers, only to turn around and throw any kind of HATE towards Checo? You're a fucking disgrace and your opinion on the matter isn't valid.

It's people like you who normalize racism, xenophobia, stereotyping, and agree upon microagressions in this community and world.

God forbid Checo does his best and fails. Just as any other driver, when things don't go their way because then he's labeled as the worst driver in the grid. As if any of you would've done better.

But by all means, continue showing how big of a fucking two faced bitch you are.

Asexual harringrove, anyone?

[catominor]

the toga and the tunic areopposed because the toga would be nearly impossible to fuck in (especially without messing up you r intricate folds ) whereas the tunic would be extreamly easyto fuck in . this symbolizes the conflicting and multifarious views on sexuality in roman society.
