Let's talk about Arrow! Mostly because I have a shiny new Det. Quentin Lance icon (even thought I suspect based on the candles it might actually be of Harry Dresden but WHATEVER, I am bad at icon making.) I've long had a soft spot for cops who are great at their jobs but bad at their lives so Det. Lance rising to the top of my favorites list should surprise no one. Especially since he is completely right about Ollie being a murderous vigilante! I am so sad that Ollie will inevitably get him killed so there can be added angst between him and Laurel, let me tell you.
I want fic where Quentin and Renee Montoya are friends going way back and she comes skulking around after the wholearresting Ollie thing , because if there's anyone who know about dealing with your grief and stress by climbing into a bottle it's her. And then after the inevitable happens she can Question around Starling City keeping an eye on things.
(I really miss Renee, guys. Reboot DC is dumb in so many ways, but that's one of the worst.)
So Arrow is kind of cheesy andcompletely totally slightly derivative (the whole thing with Merlyn is a direct rip from Smallville, and the current goings on bear more than a little resemblance SV's Veritas storyline - although I like Arrow's version much more than I did that) but I love it a lot and it is super fun to snark about on twitter. And there are TONS of DC nods already: so far we've had China White, Deadshot and Deathstroke all show up, and I like what they're done with Ollie's origin story.
Shipping wise, if you liked Tony/Rhodey, especially the first Iron Man movie version, you must check out Arrow because Ollie/Dig is essentially Tony/Rhodey 2.0. They are fantabulous. And since it is the show of completely inappropriate chemistry the relationship between Ollie and his sister Thea (this universe's Speedy, apparently) is, um...intense, so if you're into that kind of thing this is the show for you! And John Barrowman is there, being smarmy and rich! And Katie Cassidy, playing the future Black Canary!
So watch with me! And then make be icons, because seriously, the pickings for Dig and Quentin are pretty slim.:) (It's also a Yuletide fandom, so if you're in a Treating mood. *whistles*)
