queerbaiting with coldflash/olivarry
Alright. Letâs begin. So obviously, we all know CW infamously likes to queerbait. If you donât know what queerbaiting is, it is the practice to hint at, but then to not actually depict, a same-sex romantic relationship between characters in a work of fiction, mainly in film or television. One super famous example of this is Destiel, the pairing between Dean Winchester and Castiel from Supernatural. Itâs so bad, from season four till presently, thereâs been more queerbaiting than CW can get away with at this point.
In the Arrowverseâs case, they do this a lot with Olivarry (Oliver Queen and Barry Allen) and Coldflash (Leonard Snart and Barry Allen).
Before we get into Olivarry and Coldflash, I wanted to say something about Tommy Merlyn and Oliver Queen. Tommy gets impaled saving Laurel from a collapsing building and Oliver gets there in time to talk to him for a bit before he dies. We have a whole lot of face cradling, crying (which Oliver doesnât do often, especially so early into the show) and self blaming. Tommy dies in Oliverâs arms, which is a very common romance trope.
Now, onto Coldflash.
Their scenes are very queer-coded. They stand unnecessarily close to one another (and theyâre supposed to be enemies! Jeez.) For example:
Yeah. Theyâre literally set up like potential kiss scenes but that doesnât happen. Theyâre so painfully close for no reason. Thereâs so much tension in their scenes but nothing happens.
Even better example of queerbaiting - Olivarry. This one has a lot to talk about. It may not be the most popular Barry Allen or Oliver Queen ship, but thereâs definitely a lot here. If you asked me, Olivarry is to the Arrowverse what Destiel is to Supernatural - CWâs main queerbait.
So this is already pretty established, what with this famous line Barry tells Felicity before he leaves Starling to return to Central City:
He doesnât deny it. He literally doesnât. He just smiles shyly and looks away.
[ALSO this is highly irrelevant, but the episode Barry first appears in in Arrow is titled âThe Scientistâ, which is a name shared by a popular song by Coldplay. The lyrics include lines like âYou donât know how lovely you areâ, âItâs such a shame for us to partâ, âQuestions of science, science and progress do not speak as loud as my heartâ and references âRunning in circlesâ, where Barry later gets struck by lightning and gains the ability to run fast.]
We also have a lot of unconditional support for each other, even when their actual significant others are not on their sides.
Oliver: Iâm always here for you.
Oliver: You can always talk to me.
Oliver: Iâm not going without [Barry].
Barry: Weâre not leaving each other.
Barry: Iâm not leaving you.
Barry: Wherever, whenever.
(Very similar to Destiel quotes, like Dean to Castiel:Â âIâm not leaving here without you.â)
We also have a lot of scenes with tensions, a sense of underlying hidden meanings and staring (especially on Barryâs part.)
Tension includes (but is not limited to):
And Barry simply canât keep his eyes off that man.
Barry, honey, I love you, but this is becoming a problem.
Theyâve used many similar tropes for Destiel and Olivarry - the longing looks, the eyefucking, unconditional support for one another, the way their scenes are done, their old-married-couple arguing, always putting the other before themselves⊠Thereâs a lot more I could cover in depth, but I donât have the time to. I might write a more comprehensive one on both Destiel and Olivarry when I get the time.
And letâs not forget the iconic moment when Barry said âdamnâ while checking Oliver out. At his own wedding. Bartholomew Henry Allen.
So yes. The queerbaiting is awful. Theyâve been using Olivarry to queerbait since the beginning - just like they did with Destiel and Supernatural - to draw in viewers. Itâs horrible.

7 years of Olivarry â
âThe Bromance is real.â â SA
if thereâs a next crossover (ugh...) iâll only accept barryâs one purpose to be missing, mourning, and mentioning oliver. & not implied. mr. barry âiâm gonna miss youâ allen must express those emotions since he hasnât since 6.10!!!
and a scene of him at *their* bar alone wishing ollie were there.
and him saying âollieâ.
Oliver, arriving in the Flash suit: Okay, I'm here.
Barry:
Oliver: What?
Barry: Shh.
Barry: Turn around.
Oliver: What?
Barry: Please. I know what the suit does to my ass. I *have* to see what it does to yours.
Oliver: Uhh...*turns around*
Barry: That's just unfair.

Oliver: It's "make Daddy proud" time.
Barry: Yes, sir.
Oliver, turning away from his daughter: I could not have been more clearly talking to Mia.
OLIVER, DONâT!
