Prompt #24
“You and Kara are basically the same person.”
“Oliver, that’s ridiculous.” Barry said, rolling his eyes.
“Is it? Is it, really?”
Why would you think Nancy lied to Steve for a year? Why? I don’t understand the mental gymnastics the Nancy haters go through to conclude that Nancy just flat out lied to Steve while dating him for a year only to drop him because he didn’t react to Barb’s parents selling their house (going into debt to find someone she knows is dead) the way she wanted. Really? That’s your logic?
What do you think she did after they defeated the demogorgon in s1? Was like, oh I think I like Jonathan, but let me just keep dating Steve because he feels bad for slut shaming me? She went on to date Steve for a year because… because what? She felt sorry for Steve? After he slut shamed her? So she dated him? For nearly a year?
Just because Nancy had feelings for Jonathan (that neither of them spoke to each other about) doesn’t mean she lied to Steve for a year. She’s a 16 to 17 year old depicted realistically, reacting realistically to confusing emotions and guilt and trauma. She’s not being manipulative. She’s not deciding, oh I’m going to stay with Steve for the sex. Is that what the Nancy haters think? That she was just like, oh Jonathan doesn’t want to date me so I’ll keep dating Steve for the sex? Seriously. You think a 16 year old girl who’s just lost her best friend is going to do that? She’s sixteen. She doesn’t know herself well enough to even know what sort of feelings she has for Steve or Jonathan. She chose Steve because she knew she loved him and he loved her, as much as a 16 and 17 year can understand love, especially after they’ve been through a trauma together. Stop treating her like a manipulative abusive adult! That’s not what she is!
That so many want to color her as this manipulative liar and/or emotionally abusive is sickening to me. If you knew a 16 year old in real life who lost a friend and decided to keep dating a guy who had just slut shamed her, who she had every reason to dump right after that humiliation, but didn’t, why would you think she was pretending to love him? For a year? An entire year?
Fuck your messed up logic, Nancy haters. Fuck your demonization of a teenage girl. Fuck you for not allowing a teenage girl to have confused emotions and make mistakes. Fuck you for coloring her as as emotionally abusive when there are real abusers out there who purposefully manipulate people, but no, you’re going to attack a teenage girl for not being reasonable all the fucking time, for not being able to express or understand her emotions perfectly well, after she’s gone through a huge loss.
If Nancy’s actions in season 2 remind you of someone who has abused you, that is not proof that she herself is an abuser. If Nancy was shown having a pattern of behavior that hurt Steve continuously over the course of weeks or months, we would be having a very different conversation. But that is not the case. It’s wrong to twist a narrative to fit your idea of Nancy being an abuser when that narrative does not exist, just as it’s wrong to say an abused character’s cruel actions are justified because of their abuse (B*lly H*rgrove). Your reasoning behind thinking Nancy is abusive needs to be questioned, no matter how justified you think it is. Regardless of how the fandom has hated Steve in the past, been misogynistic toward Nancy in the past, before season 2, Nancy was not written as abusive toward Steve. They both made mistakes, and the writing did not give them enough scenes or dialogue to fully communicate their feelings toward each other in season 2. Miscommunication after a single instance of misunderstanding and argument in a relationship does not an abuser make.
Prompt #25
"You got me flowers? And asking me out? What?" "Don't act so surprised, Barry. We've been dating for half a year-" "But you hate Valentine's Day!" Barry exclaimed, "You were ranting about how awful and disgusting it was just last week!" "Well, that was when other people do it." "You're such a sap-" Barry said with a smile, interrupted by Oliver's lips on his own.
I have no idea how long ago this was, but Can you do number 30 in the otp quotes challange thing please? If you don't mind of course lol
Thank you so much for you ask! Of course, I don’t mind! I hope it’s up to your standards, I wanted to get it out to you as soon as possible!
Prompt: ““You can’t run so it’ll be faster if I just carry you.”
“You can’t run,” Oliver raises an eyebrow to his observation.
“No, Barry, I cannot.” Oliver says, “it’s not completely obvious or anything.”
“I’ll let that slide, because I know you’re in pain,” Barry says with a smile. “If you would have let me finish- You can’t run, so It’ll be faster if I just carry you.”
“Barry, you’re not carrying me, I can kind of walk, it’s fine,” Oliver tells him, looking at his twisted up foot.
“Oliver, if you hadn’t noticed, we’re in the middle of the city. The cave is like 10 blocks south of here.” Barry told him. “I’m the Flash, just let me carry you. The fans will go crazy.”
Oliver rolls his eyes, staring at him with a sparkle in his eye that was reserved when he was looking at Barry only. “Oh yes, the Flash/Arrow fans that are obsessed with our relationship.”
“Yep,” Barry smirks, “Wouldn’t it be a shame if some of them didn’t catch me carrying you across Star City?”
“I would say no, but I know that’s not the answer you’re looking for.” Oliver laughs. He’s precariously sitting on an old air conditioning unit, Barry standing right beside him in the alleyway they have stowed away in. Barry gives him a look. “Okay, fine, I guess you carrying me is a better option than dragging my bum foot 10 blocks through Star City.”
“I knew you’d see it my way.” Barry smirks, “You ready to get out of here, Prince Charming?” With an eye roll from Oliver, Barry holds his arms out.
“Fine, but if I’m Prince Charming, does that make you Cinderella?”
“If the shoe fits, wear it, Ollie.” Barry says, before effortlessly picking Oliver up. Barry speeds off, holding Oliver close to his chest.
The next day, there are many news reports, (“They have nothing better to do.” Oliver says, rolling his eyes at the theories.) all pictures of the Flash reportedly carrying the Green Arrow across Star City. There are mostly theories about what type of injury Oliver would have had to sustain which resulted in Barry carrying him, but most of them were relationship based.
-
“Flash carrying Green Arrow across Star City, do we have a new superhero team in the works?”
“Flash looks too comfortable carrying Green Arrow after he is injured in a fight with the Tranmaker.”
“Green Arrow lets superhero boyfriend carry him across Star City.”
“The Flash and Supergirl VS. The Flash and Green Arrow: Have we placed our bets on the relationship of the wrong superhero duo?” (Barry snorts. “If they bet on me and Supergirl getting together, they definitely are going to lose their money.”)
“16 Reasons Why The Flash and The Green Arrow Are Definitely Dating.”
“Who cares? The Flash is seen carrying the Green Arrow. How invested are we as a society in celebrities and their dating lives?” (Barry and Oliver both snort at this. Oliver claims this is his favorite article out of all of them.)
“Mayor Oliver Queen has a new Beau and now The Green Arrow? These two Star City heroes can still get around.” (Barry says this is his favorite just because the headline is literally talking about the same person with the same boyfriend. Oliver rolls his eyes. “Barry, you find the most simple things to get excited about.” “Oh shut up, you love it.” “Yeah, yeah I do.”
Prompt #21
"You know," Barry started, locking his eyes with Oliver's. "You don't always have to be the strong one. You don't always have to push back your emotions. It's okay to feel things, even if it's anger or sadness. That doesn't make you weak." "I could say the same to you, Barry." Oliver replied.
Prompt #18
"Can you not?" Barry grimaced. Oliver tilted his head, slightly confused at the terminology. "Can I not what?" Oliver raises an eyebrow. Barry couldn't help but laugh slightly.
Prompt #16
“Barry… I need you to stay here.”
“What? No way, I’m coming with you!”
“No, Barry. You’re not.”
“I can take care of myself, Ollie-”
“I’m not risking it. It’s too dangerous. I can’t have you getting hurt, I /can’t/. I need you to be safe, and the only way you’re going to be safe is if you stay here.”
