15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25 from the fixed ask game for john diggle (arrow)

i know its a lot im sorry T.T

Hii anon! Sorry it took so long for me to answer. And it’s totally okay I love answering asks!!

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

Dyla (dig and Lyla.) they couldn’t love each other outside the battlefield so they separated, they

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

I don’t really have one?? I’m a multishipper so it’s kind of hard to choose which one is my least favorite. Though I think that they shouldn’t have rushed to get Diggle together with Lyla so soon. Not like “give Diggle more love interests/pairings” (though I wouldn’t have been mad if we got that) but just let him be single WITHOUT a crush or anything if that makes sense.

17. What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?

Read above ^^

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

Oliver and Diggle. I could talk about their friendship and stuff for HOURS. How they really do make each other better. I think a lot of people see they’re friendship as “Diggle helped better Oliver and kickstarted him down the green arrow path” or like, Diggle as a stepping stone for Oliver when in actuality they were stepping stones for each other and so much more. Like, When John killed Andy and was about to let himself rot in prison: Oliver pulled him out and gave him somewhere to

19. How about a relationship they have in canon that you don't like?

Ehh I don’t really have one??? BUT i don’t like how the writers made him brush off his grudge against floyd lawton after working with him and Amanda Waller for a day. He should’ve stayed at list a little mad.

23. Favorite picture of this character?

This!!

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

I don’t have one really. John is such a special character and I love him so much I guess my brain just doesn’t try to pick out similarities between him and other characters (if that makes sense.)

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Longsuffering accomplice to Oliver’s vigilantism. Now I think he’s someone with strict moral code and priorities who’s not afraid to bend (and sometimes break) for his family and friends. Also someone who’s been through so fucking much??? Like this guy has so much trauma that just goes untalked about?? His father died when he was young. His mom married the guy that was at fault for his father’s death. That guy (his stepdad) was a dick. He joined the army. His brother was presumed dead and he blamed himself for not being able to save him. Then he’s hired as a bodyguard for a guy who just got back from an island and is thrown into his crusade to save his city. This guys now his best friend and he has a wife and daughter, except NOW his best friend kidnapped his wife and left their infant daughter ALONE in an apartment. Then his best friends ran off together and left him to lead the team and protect the city. THEN they come back THEN he finds out that his brother is alive and that he’s been working for an evil organization that their villain of the week is partnered with/runs (can’t remember exactly HOW Damien Darhk was connected to hive) THEN his best friend (who he recently made up with) keeps pushing for him to help his brother but he obviously doesn’t trust either of them THEN he finally agrees to help his brother/try to save him and locks him in a cell/metal box in the bunker and goes to see him everyday THEN WHEN HE FINALLY THINKS THAT HIS BROTHER IS ON HIS SIDE AGAIN HE TURNS ON HIM AND HIS FRIEND DIES BECAUSE OF IT. THEN HE ACCIDENTALLY OFFS HIS BROTHER THEN HE LEAVES HIS TEAM AND FRIENDS BECAUSE HES SO GUILTY AND GOES BACK TO THE ARMY. THEN GETS IN TROUBLE AND ALMOST LETS HIMSELF ROT IN JAIL BECAUSE HES THINKS HE DESERVES IT FOR LAUREL DYING AND KILLING ANDY. I could go on and on about how much TRAUMA he has and then his green lantern arc was just SHOVED UNDER THE RUG??? Like, we could’ve gotten Diggle as a main MAIN character again but nooooo. He’s such a layered character and it was all thrown under the rug after arrow ended.

Sorry, I have a lot feelings about his character and some of them are intelligible. So uh yeah.

hi hi hi i'm the KakaGai Hurt/Comfort anon and honestly i forgot that i sent that XD i hope i didn't cause you stress- i didn't mean it to sound like i was asking for you to write one 😨 i just wanted to gush about how underrated Hurt!Gai comfort fics are XD i really hope i didn't make you think that- BUT I'LL GLADLY AND HAPPILY TAKE THE FIC REC'S!! THANK YOU SO MUCH <3<3<3

XD Don't worry you did not cause me any stress. I had just really wanted to write a fic for it because i've been in a fic writing mood, but at the same time i haven't written shit while my MIL was here XD I only just got back into a space where i can write fic again (and gosh did i miss it T.T) so i just wanted to give you some fic recs and gush because YES

Kakashi supporting and being there for Gai is top tier stuff. I live for it and it really isn't written enough. I get the appeal of Gai being there for Kakashi, but i think this fandom sometimes forget Kakashi does return the favour and is equally there for Gai.

Gai doesn't just support Kakashi. they support each other and push each other forward, and that's something i love so much for their relationship and which deserves to be explored more

Is it in bad taste/poor tumblr etiquette to explode Go Off ramble under a cut [lol the cut didn't work] in a reblog? If it is pls forgive but I fhhhhhhsaww this is GOOD YES

Something that I frequently think about in tandem with finale speculation is the question of Shinichi's re-integration into society. How do you even recover after treading the knife's edge of being declared legally dead? You can't really muse about his return without considering the aftermath. In the long-term,there's a lot of loose ends to tie up after having been absent for so long (hard agree that there's no fucking way it's only been a year) and unless an episode or two is dedicated to Life After Conan, we probably won't ever see how he addresses the short-term consequences of his long period of deceit, either. People will have questions, surely - what, especially, of the people who only knew Conan as Conan? Ran discovering the truth hits different than someone like... like Ayumi. That's not apt to be pretty and, frankly, deserves its own thread.

(I ask these questions, but in all likelihood the solutions will probably be easy and rooted in either his money or his connections, RIP)

Going off that I really really really dig the idea of Conan evolving into an entirely separate entity, or at least gradually making himself known as such. "Student becomes the master" vibes, almost. Maybe he's some part of Shinichi given life (or just more presence) in his predicament-- Empathy in lieu of Ego, perhaps? The spirit of Starting Over? A Second Chance? Divine punishment? HNNNG the implications..... I EXTRA love the idea that his symbiotic relationship with Shinichi is not entirely hostile nor cooperative (it can't be, right...? they've gotten this far), and--oh gosh I'm gonna explode--the idea of Conan inevitably exorcising his host personality because "his time is up..." and he's "holding him back..." I don't actually know if I really want this LMAO but it's still so good sksksksksk and it's depicted here so hauntingly T.T <333!! Shinichi's old life--and his entire memory--really does have an expiration date (this QUOTE btw aaaaa), something I'm horribly glad is made apparent in OVA 9, canon or not.

DC certainly IS so interesting because of its potential as something bleak. I'm not surprised I came back to it as hard as I did, it still appeals to me in the same ways it did to Babby Hex, there's just so much room to take it a step further in speculation (and tbh this is just a pre-requisite for the best franchises in fandom). It could easily be a tragedy or psychological horror piece, with themes of hopelessness... and futility... and mortality... and sometimes I really do fantasize about a tragic conclusion to the whole thing, but I know this won't happen in a million years ahaaa

Anyway OP this is fantastic, I'm so happy to have inspired u for This Which Has Made Me Weak, and I am now just

@dcmkemogust20xx​ DCMK Emogust Week One! I took inspiration from the dialogue prompts on day 2: “Please marry me” as well as “You can’t stay here.”

Inspiration and thoughts under cut!

Oof, best of luck getting a full night's sleep then! If I don't pass out soon I'll have stayed up for two days lol break just scrambles me really. And very interesting answers! Sorry about the rain though, that sucks. How about a few more questions? Are you a plant person? City or country? What instruments do you play? Do you like any other musicals? Stars or moon? Have any favorite books or authors? Do you have a favorite pair of shoes? And finally, importantly, do you like popping bubble wrap?

I’m only vaguely aware of what I did for th epast two hours but now its 3am T.T I’m wide awake. I was trying to get my roomate to play Mario Party with me just now and he was basically like “im going to sleep fuck you” SO IM BACK TO WRITE SOME MORE

but honestly I hope you get some sleep hun you really deserve it. when worse comes to worse I try benadril and nightquil and sometimes that works.

1. I am a plant person! I have the opposite of a green thumb though, and tend to kill anything I touch sadly. But I do enjoy plants quite a bit and would love to actually have one that could like...survive. 

2. I honestly don’t know. I guess country? Ive had experiences with both and it’s hard to say, but I like the quiet in the country more I guess.

3. I play Trumpet, French Horn, and a little bit of piano but I wouldn’t really consider my piano playing lmao. I used to sing a really long time ago too, but I never really stuck with it, although I wish I would have. I feel its definitely too late for me to get into singing now which sucks because I really appreciate it now. I also feel like my singing voice has gotten better since I started T but that might have just been voice dysphoria from before talking tbh.

4. I do! I’m actually a big fan of musicals although I’ve never really seen one live (minus the beauty and the beast when I was a child but I don’t actually remember seeing it) I’m a BIG BIG fan of Falsettos, I like some of the songs from Hamilton but I’ve not listened to the whole thing, I like Heathers, Newsies is okay, I like both the movie and the actual theatre production of Sweeney Todd, the Jeckyl and Hyde musical is also really good. OH I ALSO LOVE RENT ITS A CLASSIC

There’s also musicals I haven’t seen at all but really want to like the Greenday musical,  Book of Mormon, DEH (I’ve heard some songs from it though), Be More Chill, ect. It’s pretty easy to get my attention with musicals. Just be good. 

It used to be my dream back when I still thought it was viable, to one day play in the band bellow the stage during a musical. 

5.That’s a hard one. I guess I’d go with Stars? the night sky is very aesthetically pleasing to me

6. I dunno if I’d say I have any favorite authors. I’ve mentioned the Vampire Chronicles a bunch and added it to the fandoms I write for so I guess Anne Rice because I do like all of those books but I feel like that’s not really an interesting answer.

One of my All Time favorite books I read, I read when I was in middle school, it’s called Ghost Boy by Iain Lawrence and it’s about a boy with albinism who runs away and joins the circus. And it sounds pretty boring just describing it that way, and it sounds? dumb and whimsical and like you can probably guess what happens but you really cant. I actually own a copy to this day, and I’ve probably read it about as many times as my copy of IWTV so like...a lot.

It’s probably my favorite young adult/coming of age type story.

7. I don’t actually have a favorite pair of shoes! I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m disabled and because of that it makes wearing shoes pretty hard, so for mobility and ease sakes I usually wear flipflops. Although my friend got me a pair with the logo of the college I’m going to be attending this fall and I do like those quite a bit. 

8.I do! I love popping bubble wrap or even those like big containers of air that they sometimes send with packages.
