Respect on Arrow

Why does Arrow have such a problem with respecting their characters? They have white washed practically every poc in the comics they get. They assign titles to and slap names on oc characters to draw in views. I mean we have four Dinahs. E1 and E2 Laurel first name Dinah her mother and now Tina Bolund. Evelyn Sharp from what I hear has her own identity as Starling but they slap the name Artemis on her and give the name Connor Hawk to John Diggle Jr. and they erase the fact he is supposed to be Blasian! (Black and Asian) Felicity almost became Oracle like the hell! Like most characters on Arrow are half asses OC. Sara Lance existed as nothing more than to be a pain in her sister’s ass and ruin her sister’s life and tear her family apart. Which leads me to my next point the treatment of women on this show. Felicity was jealous of Sara and felt excluded. Felicity also treats her own mother like shit. Sara treated Laurel like shit. Oliver treated his own mom like shit and Felicity threatened and attempted to Black mail Moria. Then Felicity a Jewish character was almost killed in a gas chamber. Roy’s Native American up bringing was ignored! Oliver Queen is hypocritical as fuck and he is a man whore! Olicity fucking high jacked WestAllen’s wedding and bitched about their relationship drama after interrupting their engagement party and then Iris comforts Felicity because Iris is kind like that even too Caitlin you know the girl who helped tried to have her killed and Iris keeps saving and comforting these white women who screw her over like I wish she would have told Felicity to shut up about her relationship drama with Oliver! Anyways the constant disrespect from the Arrow writers is annoying and I am looking at you Marc Guiggenhiem and Wendy Mericle (Ironic last name)

"I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend because my asshole ex-boyfriend is right over there and he keeps bugging me, wanting to get back together." Laurel + whatever lady you're feeling (I imagine you know which guy I'm imagining as the ex)

okay so I went way overboard but ummmmmm yeah?? I’m really proud of this and also working on chapter 2 at the moment so….

Laurel’s eyes surveyed the room, trying to find an easy place to hide. She located that the restrooms were in the left hallway, but to get there she would have to cross the path of the very person she was trying to avoid.

‘How did I get myself into this one?’ Laurel thought to herself, remembering the events of earlier that day.

Laurel was sitting at her favorite coffee shop, staring expectantly at her best friend. “What’s this about?”

“I need you to go in my place for this gala tonight.” Felicty said, pulling out a invite from her purse. “It would be extremely rude if I ignored their invite, political crap and that, but something came up that I have to attend to. But if I sent my lovely best friend in my place, they might not be as pissed.”

Laurel glanced at the invitation before narrowing her eyes at her sister. “You want me to go to your company’s gala… in your place?”

Felicity waved her hand nonchalantly. “It’s not my gala, it’s just a gala that I’ve donated a lot of money into. But I have a unexpected business meeting in Beijing that I cannot miss.” Felicity gave Laurel her best puppy dog face. “Pretty please? I would owe you big time- and any expenses I will cover.”

Laurel sighed, if there’s one thing she couldn’t do, it was say ‘no’ to Felicity’s puppy face. “Fine. But you owe me big time. I’ll have you know that I’ll be missing out on Grey’s Anatomy for this.”

Laurel ran a hand through her hair, thankful that she decided to leave it down instead of let Felicity pay for her to get a hairstylist that would have made it look like she was a model or something of that sort.

“Felicity owes me big time.” Laurel muttered to herself, eyeing her ex who was getting increasingly closer to her. “If I don’t murder her first.”

Laurel glanced over at the food bar, hoping to stuff as much gourmet cheese into her mouth before she would undoubtedly be noticed by her ex and dragged into an excruciatingly annoying conversation.

She mentally noted at least seven different types of cheeses before she saw her saving grace - someone she actual knew.

“Iris?” Laurel said, approaching the woman. “Iris West?”

Iris turned around, staring at Laurel for a second before a grin broke out on her face. “Well, damn, if it isn’t Dinah Laurel Lance.” She held her arms out for a hug that Laurel gratefully accepted.

“I gotta say, I’m a little shocked to see you here.” Laurel said after they parted from their hug. “Are you here with one of the companies?”

“Oh god no,” Iris laughed, shaking her head. “I’m a reporter with the Central City Picture News, they wanted someone to come get the scoop on this gala and I got the short straw. What about you? I thought you wanted to be a lawyer?”

Laurel found herself blushing because Iris West remembered that she wanted to be a lawyer - which was a ridiculous thing to blush over because of course she remembered, they were roommates and good friends in collage.

“I’m actually an ADA. I’m here in place of my friend who couldn’t make it, she, uh, put a lot of money into this gala but then had a last minute meeting in Beijing that she couldn’t miss and I have yet to meet someone who can say ‘no’ to Felicity’s puppy dog eyes.” Laurel said, chuckling softly.

Iris raised an eyebrow. “Felicity? As in Felicity Smoak of Smoak Enterprises?”

“That would be her.” Laurel confirmed.

“Do you think she might be willing to do an interview with me?”

Laurel laughed. “She does owe me a rather large favor. I’m sure we could arrange something.”

Iris grinned. “Well it would seem that I too owe you now too.”

“What? No, of course not, this is just helping an old friend out.” Laurel said. “You don’t owe me anything for this.”

“Dinah Laurel Lance, you are too good for your own good.” Iris crossed her arms. “Surely there must be something I can do - and really, I do insist.”

Laurel bit her lip. “Well… I mean there’s one thing - but I really couldn’t ask it of you-”

Iris cut her off with a look. “Lance, I really insist that you do.”

Laurel took a breath. “I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend because my asshole ex-boyfriend is right over there and he keeps bugging me, wanting to get back together.”

“Say no more,” Iris said, holding out her arm for Laurel to hook her own with. “Which rich straight white douchebag is he?”

Laurel laughed, though it was mostly out of relief but god had she missed Iris.

chapter 2 will be posted on ao3! so stay tuned please!!!

Iris West Week Day Three

Iris + The Rest - AU Iris West x Laurel Lance/Black Canary

I know that there are many amazing relationships that Iris has had with characters other than her family and her love interests that could be talked about during this section of IrisWestWeek but I decided to go with an AU version with Iris and Laurel because I am disappointed that we didn’t get a scene where Iris and Laurel meet and I am also super bitter that now we’ll never see a scene like this so I am righting this terrible wrong with my AU. I kept my AU story under a Read More so I don’t flood everyone’s dashboards with it in case they don’t want to read it but if you would like to read it, just click to read!

Anyways, while Laurel was in law school, I’d like to think she made regular trips to Central City to see her mother, who, according to Arrow, teaches at Central City University, and after such a long train ride/car ride, Laurel is going to need some caffeine. She always goes to CC Jitters and always gets the same barista, Iris West. She and Iris bond over the fact that they both have overprotective fathers who are cops and that they both did criminology as their undergraduate majors and soon Iris has Laurel’s drink order memorized and Laurel always slips an extra $20 into the tip jar for Iris.

One day, when Laurel comes in for her java fix, she sees Iris, behind the counter, trying to surreptitiously wipe her eyes with her CC Jitters barista apron and immediately asks her what’s wrong. Iris explains that her father found her application to the CCPD, stopped talking to her and all but told her that if she joined the CCPD, she would have to move out of the house. She breaks down in tears because for so long, she has wanted to be a cop like her grandfather and like her father and Laurel explains that the same thing happened to her with her father when she tried to join the SCPD. Laurel told her that at first it was hard to give up her dream but she was able to a different way to help people, by going to law school and being a lawyer. During Iris’s break, she and Laurel sit in the staff room of CC Jitters and plan out what Iris wants to do now that being a cop is not an option anymore. They finally settle on journalism because if Iris can’t be on the front line as a cop, she wants to do the next best thing and be able to report from behind the front line. After her shift, when Laurel goes to Central City University to see her mother, Iris tags along with her and puts in her application for the MA in Journalism program offered by Central City University (yes I know in the show the journalism course is just for a sociology credit but I changed it in my AU) and the rest is history.

Laurel and Iris are there to help each other with everything, be it ADA/lawyer stuff for Laurel, journalism/reporter stuff for Iris or vigilante/superhero stuff for both of them and are there for each other in the good times (when Iris gets her first byline, when Laurel’s family is finally whole again, when Laurel gets her first win as ADA, when Laurel takes down her first criminal as Black Canary etc.) and in the bad times (when Iris finds out Joe, Barry and Eddie have all been lying to her, when Eddie dies, when Sara dies, when Iris learns her mother is still alive, etc.)

In my AU, it’s also Iris who is the one to send the video of Laurel punching the federal marshall to Felicity because she’s so proud and knows that Laurel’s training is paying off.

When Iris publishes her blog about the streak, Laurel always takes time out of her busy schedule to read and comment on every single post. Every time Laurel has a new case, Iris keeps as up to date as possible and calls to congratulate her when she wins and calls to console her when she loses. When Iris gets her job at Central City Picture News, Laurel takes out a subscription and cuts all of Iris’s articles out and puts them into a little scrapbook because she’s just so dang proud. And you can bet that Iris has that first exclusive interview with the newest vigilante in Starling City, the Black Canary.

plz any iris femslash your choosing

okay imma go with iris/laurel so instead of s1 her writing about the flash it’s about black canary and we’ll go from there.

--

“If you’re going to kiss me,” Iris says. “Can you at least take your mask off?”

Black Canary has that patent grin on, the one that makes Iris feel kind of seasick on land, as she cups Iris’s jaw with her hand. “I kept my mask on the last time,” she says. “And the time before that.”

“I’m getting tired of it,” Iris says. “Maybe we could actually go to dinner sometime. Then your place afterwards.”

“Oh come on,” Canary says, her hand tucking under Iris’ skirt. “If you wanted to give me a hard time, you’d have worn tights under your dress.”

“It’s not that cold,” Iris bristles.

“You’ve got goosebumps on your legs, babe,” she says, inching closer. “Is that for me, or the windchill?”

Iris gazes up at her, like she’s trying to peel off Black Canary’s mask with her glare alone. “You’re a tease.”

Black Canary circles her fingers up Iris’ thigh. “Yeah,” she says. “But you make it too easy. You’re so-” She brushes her fingers against her vulva, but no further. “Easy to wind up. You know?”

“Why do you never let me touch you like this?” Iris asks. “It hardly seems fair.”

“Oh, I touch myself later,” Black Canary says. Another brush against Iris’ underwear When Iris tries to buck against her hand, Canary pins Iris’ hips with her own. “I like to think about how soft and wet you are, Iris. I like to memorize the look on your face.”

“That’s not fair, though,” Iris says. “You know what I look like when I come, you’ve had your fingers inside me, and you won’t even let me touch you back. I want to know what you look like, too. In general. When you come. I deserve to know.”

Black Canary considers it for a moment. “If I take off my mask,” she says. “You have to take off your underwear, and give them to me.”

Iris shudders. “That’s a deal.”

She pulls her blonde hair back over her shoulder, peeling the mask off with a practiced ease.

“Oh,” Iris says, a little star struck by her black greasepaint still smeared around her eyes, how she kind of looks like an angel. “I don’t- Who are you? What’s your name?”

“We didn’t agree to that, now did we?” Black Canary says. “Now, your part of the deal?”

Iris puts her hands under her dress, rolling her underwear down her legs without breaking eye contact. She balls them in her hand and gives them over, and she notices that Black Canary smiles so much more prettily without the mask to mar her features.

“Now,” Black Canary says. “I know you’re gonna be scouring the web for me, and you probably won’t find much- I’ve got a good friend on that- But if you did find a match, you wouldn’t print it in the paper, now would you?”

“If I found a match,” Iris says. “I think I’d just look up your number, first. Your secret’s safe with me.”

Black Canary kisses her, her hand finding that familiar place under Iris’ dress once more. “That’s good,” she says. “I really think our relationship could reach new highs, Iris.”

And Iris, who is starting to reach a new high as Black Canary has two gloved fingers inside her, slick leather and all heat, flutters her eyes. “Oh, I’d- I- I-”

How the double wedding should be

WestAllen and Lauriver! Now they would have the same guests but the wedding party would be a bit different. For one Linda Park would be Iris’s maid of honor Cecile’s daughter would be in the wedding Iris would have a relationship with Francine (Let’s face it Francine would be a recurring character and Iris deserves a relationship. Wally West would be Barry’s best man and Cisco and Cynthia would also be in the wedding (damn get Iris some girlfriends would you?) Laurel’s maid of Honor would be Sara, her other wedding party there would be Helena Thea and Nyssa. Oliver’s wedding party would include John Diggle as his best man Roy Harper and some other. (Does Oliver have friends besides Diggle?) Felicity and Caitlin would be in the crowd.

Flarrowverse Crossovers and the Leading Ladies that Suffer.

Let me start off by saying I enjoy the crossovers of these shows. However I don't like the fact the show runners don't include Iris or Laurel. Well barely. First off Iris is a reporter and should have some agency. Write about the heros doing good and saving the world. Yet the writers fail to utilize this. I mean we know Iris has a job but let's see what's it is like and see her writing these stories. Laurel should have been more involved with the crossovers. If the writers had written her respectfully and correctly she would have been a way better fighter than what was shown in the show. Her Canary could have been real. However one can only write these things in fanfiction. Also the Lance sisters and Iris becoming friends hell yeah!
