Dinah and Roy and Mera and Garth are such cute mother-son relationships. Honestly they're better parents then their partners, who are the actual parents.

My feelings as of lately and especially with the Arrowfam reunited.

[timstephfangirl]

I would just like to point out that if you happen to be doing a DickRoy/Roy Harper/Lian Harper/or Arrowfam read through (or are following a reading guide) and therefore need to read Action Comics #613-618 & #627-634 it will probably be easier to read Nightwing Old Friends, New Enemies than searching through Action Comics (and the quality is better)

Maybe this is common knowledge, but I didn't know, and reading Action Comics was a pain.

Do you have any hot takes or unpopular opinions involving the Arrowfam?

Thank You 😁

Oh boy here goes. My hottest take is that Dinah should not be considered the mother of the Arrowfam.

Look, okay, I get it. Family dynamics are really cute, and the Arrowfam is the superhero family. And since Ollie's the dad of the family, it makes sense reasonably that that would make Dinah the mum.

But the thing is, I really don't think she is. Ages ago I made a post about how I want an Arrowsiblings (Roy Connor + Mia) hug in the current run and I got a few notes on that post saying that they should also hug their mum and that's what really started this train of thought so I'm gonna go from that.

So obviously the easiest to dispute is Connor. Connor already has a mum, and it's a bit of a concerning trend where mixed race children of heroes have their birth mothers erased and replaced with their dad's significant other in fandom (see: the posts about Selina being Damian's mum). And the erasure of Moonday in Connor's life is something that happens quite often (when Ollie and Dinah had a kid named Connor in Injustice...) so just. Don't do it. Dinah isn't Connor's mum, he already has a mum.

Then there's Roy. Roy's definitely someone I see a lot of posts about him being "Dinah's son", and while I do enjoy the mama's boy jokes I wouldn't necessarily say their relationship is mother/son. Maternal? Yeah. But I feel like trying to apply a traditional family dynamic to their relationship just feels counterproductive to me. They only really met when Roy was in his early adulthood/late teens (I know Roy's age is ambiguous in Snowbirds but for the sake of arguing I usually put him around 18), and having someone fill the role of "mother" in his life was never particularly important to him.

Obviously it's not explicitly stated in this dialogue, but I've always read into it as an undertone that while Roy wanted someone (Ollie) to fill the role of "father" in his life, he never felt that same need for a mother. Their relationship is very complex, it's one based in a lot of love and trust and there are absolutely maternal aspects to it, but I wouldn't call it mother/son.

And then there's Mia. Mia's relationship with Dinah is definitely the most mother/child of the three, with Dinah saying just as much

That being said, hear me out.

I think that, like with Roy, Dinah and Mia have a very complex, layered relationship. I think that mother/daughter is the easiest way to quantify it, but that's just rounding up to the closest approximation. I think their relationship is more similar to Dinah's relationship with Sin- a sister relationship with maternal elements, and I don't think Mia considers Dinah a mother, not entirely.

Obviously this is just my opinion, and it's a hot take for a reason, I don't expect the majority to agree with me. I just think that the Arrows don't need to follow nuclear family dynamics in order to be a family, and Dinah's role in their lives is more interesting and has more room for nuance when it's not labelled.

Thank you for the ask!

I wanna see something

mia dearden art 💋 bc she deserves all the love and she’s an iconic 2000’s girl

[visual description under read more]

[The first picture is a face drawing of Mia Dearden, outlined in pinkish-red pencil. Her light blonde hair is wavy and loose and falls to her shoulders. She has big brown eyes and is wearing an open smile, with glossy lips. Her cheeks are flushed pink. Her eyebrows are pointed up.]

[The second picture is a more simple 3/4 angle drawing of Mia in a t-shirt, with her hand raised in a gesture. It is outlined in pinkish-red, and her eyes are closed. Her mouth is open. Her shirt is a light lilac color. Her wavy blonde hair is pulled high in a ponytail. There’s a speech bubble besides her with an asterisk that says *explaining why Avril Lavigne is the best artist in history.* To the bottom corner of the picture, there’s a mini drawing of Ollie with his green feather hat and goatee. His eyes are closed and there are Z’s floating above him to indicate he’s asleep listening to Mia talk. On the other side of Mia, there’s a sentence and arrow pointed at her shirt saying “Cissie’s shirt” which Mia stole/borrowed.]

Arrowfam as things said on a college campus pt 3

Ollie (in pouring rain): why the fuck would I have an umbrella!?

Connor: Hey! I found a lottery ticket!

Roy: Ooh! Lemme see!

Roy: …

Roy: This is a parking ticket.

Roy: Clearly you don’t gamble or drive

Ollie: I spent ten minutes watching the squirrels dig around in that trashcan from the third floor

*The fam sitting around*

Emiko: *Spinning in a desk chair*

Emiko: *Gets up and takes two steps*

Emiko: *Crashes to the ground*

Dinah: Are you proud of this team you lead, Ollie?

Emiko: My stomach hurts

Emiko: That’s the only thing keeping me from spinning again

Connor: why is there a high school textbook here?

Roy: to keep the high schoolers out

Mia: Didn’t you go to elementary school?

Roy: I just kind of spawned in college

Mia: Real

Roy: Elementary school isn’t real

Ollie: I’m on speaker phone?!

Ollie: I wouldn’t have made as many alcohol and disemboweling jokes if I knew I was on speakerphone

New fic out ! It's a JayRoy one this time ❤️

Summary :

But the process turns out to be more challenging than they anticipated. Meanwhile, their father figures face their own complicated bond—a mix of friendship and rivalry that's only heightened by the new family dynamics.

Green Arrow #10 (2024)

The ArrowFamily all being together is my new favorite thing in the world. DC if you split them up again there will be words!
