"what's the worst way your ship has ever died" "oh so slade fake-died and then oliver accidentally murdered shado and then he appeared just as she died and she never knew he was alive so he held her dead body in his arms as oliver was forever shrouded in guilt then slade became corrupted from a drug and oliver had to kill him too but he wasn't really dead and came back for revenge"

smoaksiren (siren x felicity) <- i already ranted about this one i LOVE THEM.

terrificdog (rene x curtis) <- they're so gay and chaotic x nerdy duos are the best even dinah agrees

constanqueen (oliver x constantine) <- why was constantine so flirty to him in that one episode they probably hooked up let's be honest

smoakingcanary (felicity x sara) <- 'YOU'RE STILL CUTE'

alicity (felicity x alena) <- they were actually adorable oh my god

lauryssa (laurel x nyssa) <- supposed to be canon you can't convince me otherwise

How to you feel about Nyssa or Nyssa x Sara (idk their ship name)

Also your fic “Yes, this is all I have left in me the way love goes is not the way that it came come fly, un-die, be born again.” Was amazing and left me in SHAMBLES (but in a good way, if that makes sense.)

Have a nice day!

Hi, thank you for your question.

Oh boy… I might make myself very unpopular with my opinion but here goes, lol.

I’m not a fan of Nyssara to be honest. But to be fair we did not get a lot of information about it and a lot was left open to interpretation. My issue with the ship is the same as the ones I have with both Olicity and Avalance, it is also very toxic and they tried to sell it to us as something positive.

Nyssa’s behavior was textbook stalker and very ‚if I can’t have you so can no one else‘. This is scary and not love but obsession. It is dangerous and there are no excuses for her actions. She tried to kill Sara’s family, just because Sara left her. And most of the fandom excuses her behavior with the way she was raised and things like that. But that is no excuse for the way she acted. If a woman gets murdered, or her family, by her ex who had a bad childhood, would people also make excuses for that person? 

Another issue I have with the ship is that Sara didn’t really have a choice. Nyssa „saved“ her but at the same time she damned her by taking her to Nanda Parbat instead of letting her go home. Sara was thrust into the League because of Nyssa and the only „protection“ she had was Nyssa and Nyssa’s feelings for her. In a way she was back to where she had been on the Amazo, keep Nyssa’s favor and affection or deal with the consequences just like with Ivo. So I have mixed feelings on whether Sara actually loved Nyssa or it was closer to Stockholm syndrome and survival instinct. And yes, Sara clearly states that she loved Nyssa but she also claimed Ivo was not evil. There was a serious issue with the power dynamic in their relationship and that is never a good thing.

Like I said I have mixed feelings and am not entirely sure about this relationship, because there is very little information we have about it, and most of what we know is Nyssa’s point of view, which I do not trust. The way she saw it might not at all be the way Sara saw it. 

I have serious issues with the way the movie and TV industry is romanticizing toxic and abusive relationships and selling them as perfect and something to aspire to. It is dangerous and makes me very uncomfortable.

I do like Nyssa’s character and her as a person, I think she was very interesting and had a lot of potential and a great story arch, but I don’t think she and Sara were a good fit or brought out the best in each other. 

Aw, thank you so much for that compliment! It makes perfect sense and I’m so happy you shared that with me and liked the story! It means the world to me. I’m a sucker for Ollie and Tommy’s friendship, throw Sara in there and it’s my dream team, lol. 

Thank you, you too!

Are there any songs that remind you of your OCs?

jhgjsdgfjd OKAY SO-- the short answer is Yes, lol. The longer answer is that I have full playlists for a bunch of them, so, at this point any song on any of their playists now reminds me of that character (including ship playlists, because I also have one of those each for elyss/june and juniper/fengling), although not all of them would be equally good examples of 'here's a song that makes me think of X' as far as like... show and tell is concerned? Elyss and Juniper's playlists for instance are both roughly chronological and a couple of their songs are specific to A Situation, and several of June's are about her relationship with another character (mostly our sorcerer; I've had a hard time picking just one or two fengling songs for june's regular playlist, so those are pretty much all just on the ship one exclusively, lol).

UM I can also link to full playlists if you or anyone are interested, but I'll also put a show and tell of one or two specific songs under the cut :D

Elyss: Learn To Be Lonely from the POTO movie for pre-campaign, Not Your Hero by Tegan and Sara now

Juniper: The Greatest Adventure from the rankin bass The Hobbit

Idri: Don't Stop Me Now by Queen

Aubree: Fighting On by I Fight Dragons

Melliwyk's are all instrumental! Scheming Weasel Faster would be her theme as an npc in an rpg

Nyssa: Cult of Dionysis by The Orion Experience

Ambrose: Not I by I Fight Dragons

Kethri: No Hopers, Jokers, and Rogues by The Fisherman's Friends

Honorable mention: this is maybe Fantasy Racist of me because Tsakesh is not a thief at all but. Khajiit Like To Sneak by Miracle of Sound is just such a good song and I love it and it DOES make me think of my boy. he DO like to sneak idk what to tell you

Endless list of interracial couples ⟶ Sara Lance & Nyssa al Ghul (Arrow)

I wasn’t with you because you saved me. I was with you because I loved you.

[spooner-cruz]

I have this dream you're doing cool shit// having adventures on your own// you meet some woman on the internet and take her home

[geofenderwrites]

So, I ship Sara with Nyssa, Sara with Amaya and Sara with Ava. Then I ship Amaya with Sara, Amaya with Zari and Amaya with Mick. I think I got a problem.

Pals, what do you think of WildWind as a shipname for Zari and Amaya? Wild for Amaya, bc she controls animals and Wind... come on, it's obvious 😂

Ok, and maybe I shipped Sara and Kendra.

[kevlarishaught]

you not liking a/v/a (aka that ship) 👀

(TL;DR at the end bc predictably i ended up ranting)

On me not liking time becky (a/va) one bit indeed, anon. Main the reason i stopped watching the show tbh. She basically solidifies the start of and the reason why Sara became nothing more than a love interest in a show where she was arguably the lead, or one of anyway. a/va was supposed to be a side character but everything revolves around her now, both in canon and fandom, and it's tiring as all fuck for a character as bland as hers, i stg just thinking about her and ava/ance takes 5 years off my lifespan

Lot's writing was always a bit lesbo/biphobic, in particular (mick outing sara at every turn? fetisizhing the fact that 'this frilly likes other frillies'?? lot having sara sleep around on important missions?), but then it used her as queer 'rep' bc they knew Sara had a big wlw following and it somehow got even worse. Nothing says someone is your equal quite like them beating and abusing you, nothing spells romance like they undermining, belittling, discriminating and putting you and your friends in danger, being more preoccupied about your girlfriend's s*x history with men than the fact said girlfriend was fucking dying, critizing your gf's ten year old choices and her oldest friend while she was grieving him ...but it's alright bc we get to see two white women who could play sisters kiss every 5 minutes, right?

And that's all they doooo, Sara hasn't had a story arc besides being in a relationship with another woman and being dead since then. She couldn't even grieve her fucking father, we got breadcrumbs when Laurel died but we still got to see some of her reactions, season two i think was had a whole thing about her learning to accept Laurel's death, accept that she shouldn't change it even if she had the means to, and ends with her deciding to preserve the timeline as it is despite how deeply it hurt her. It was powerful, granted at CW levels and in a show with so many characters, but she had a story arc, she learnt something, she grew...she's done none of that since time becky came around, it's sad and infuriating and a lot of sara fans understandably stopped watching bc of that. I held out for Zari, Amaya, Charlie, Jax and Stein but then they were mostly gone too

And trust me, I'm aware nyssara has some issues as well, the whole conflict with Nyssa's adherence to league rules and going after Sara's family, but Nyssa was very much a product of her upbringing, it was all she knew, it had a reason, it instigated change and served the story, it resonated. and i didn't keep watching arrow but from what i've seen Nyssa grew as a character as well, she chose to stay in prison and told Sara to move on and step away from the shadows. at the very least, they had conflicting, interesting, solid foundations while ava/ance is? just there?? besides time becky belittling Sara and her team, especially the poc, especially Zari, what else does she do? she's not even shown being a good leader, she's co captain bc she's f*cking the captain who doesn't even seem like the captain anymore! Neat little exercise that works every time: picture time becky as a man......suddenly things ain't so cute anymore are they

the only good thing to come out of lot before i stopped watching is Sara going to the time becky factory world or whatever, and when someone says it must be paradise she basically goes 'is it though???' :|||| a whole ass mood bb ♥

TL;DR: time becky aka a/va is bland af and ava/ance made Sara a shadow of her previous self. her entire character now revolves around being in a relationship with an abusive, self centered, biphobic and racist woman who could be her sister, and being dead sometimes. but gay rep, yay!

Lady Lazarus (Sara Lance x Reader)

It wasn’t everyday that you saw somebody from your past. Especially not hundreds of years into your past. However, if you had been certain of one thing, it was that Sara Lance was an easy exception. She had stolen the heart of the demon’s daughter and come back from the dead multiple times. You’d even heard her name in Hell a few times before you managed to escape. Of course, it’d be her that came to try and kill you. 

“Stop it right there!” Sara shouted at you. You slowed in your tracks and turned around to face her. 

“They don’t normally stop,” a tall man next to her whispered. 

“They do at the cry of the canary,” you said as you bowed in front of Sara. Sara pulled you up onto your feet and hugged you tightly. “It has been far too long.” 

“You do know that you’re causing all sorts of chaos right?” Sara asked and you shrugged. “Well, can you, like, stop it please?” 

“I’ll think about it,” you said with a wink. “If you’ll have a drink with me.” 

“A drink? I think I can manage that. You guys go back to the ship,” Sara said and you brought her into your hideout. “Is this-?” 

“Nanda Parbat. The real estate was easy enough to get,” you said and Sara sat down while you got the drinks. “I didn’t know what to do with this place, but it was my home.” 

“It was your prison,” Sara said and you handed her drink to her. “You were held captive here.” 

“Maybe, but I was given a purpose here. My curse became my gift here,” you told her. “I saw lives begin here and love blossom. Perhaps I even found feelings of my own.” 

“Nyssa hated it when I’d stop and talk to you. Even though she insisted on sitting with you every night,” Sara said and you chuckled. 

“Our love was a sisterly one. The way that I looked at you was what bothered her,” you admitted. “I was the sister that Talia should have been in her eyes, but I also wanted her girlfriend.” 

“I’m a catch. I don’t blame you,” Sara joked. “I must say, you’re looking good for an ancient being with no Lazarus pool.” 

“I never needed the pool. Why need something when you can become it for yourself,” you said and Sara tilted her head at you. “You could stay with me. I can make you like me. We can stay here forever.” 

“I have a duty to do. I’m a captain, very serious business. I wouldn’t be opposed to adding Lady Lazarus to my crew though. You can never have too many assassins,” Sara offered. 

“I would love you,” you said and Sara smiled. “It is lonely here.” 

“I know.” Sara took your hand and held onto it all the way to her time ship. You had once found your purpose with the League of Assassins, but now you had the chance to discover a new one with Sara.
