#i think the bond i’m MOST interested in is mia and emi

[strawberrytalia]

I feel like the main reason I focus so much on the Arrowfam girls is because outside of the Wonderfam and Amazon relationships, there aren’t a lot of mainstream sisterly relationships in the DCU, especially within the other set up family dynamics. The batfam, superfam, flashfam, are all majority male-dominated or just have a bigger focus on brotherly bonds. Even in preboot Arrow comics, Mia was the only girl so naturally her dynamics with both Connor and Roy were emphasized (as well as the one between both guys). And then in Rebirth, Emi was the only girl with focus so it’s quite annoying to me how sisterly bonds aren’t shown nearly as often as brother ones.

That’s why I like thinking a lot about Cissie, Mia, Emi, and by extension, Lian and Sin, even Sienna, interacting. GA 2023 should’ve had all them together! Idk I’m invested in the potential of closeness, of bonding over their shared roles, of the inevitable cattiness and how they would get over it, etc. I would include Dinah in this too since she is arguably the most important female character is GA comics, and I would love to see the kind of role model she’d be for all these young girls (but NOT in a motherly way!!!! let’s get that straight) I also am DYING to see Jade, Moonday, and Shado interact with each other and all the girls, like ugh there’s so many female characters in this fucking family and GA 2023 didn’t deliver a single interaction between them.
