Excuse me.
What.
roy harper returning from an absolutely traumatic experience of having his autonomy violated through the worst possible method possible AND the one that strikes home most and being able to voice his doubts and frustrations in a level headed way while also comforting his daughter all throughout, the daughter he has just got back. roy harper fighting tooth and nail to help others (including the fact that helping another person is what got him into this situation) while simultaneously believing that he cannot help himself is tragic. this dude man… THIS MF DUDE. does not realize. that there are a bunch of people out there willing to help him. but at the same time, it goes to show how little he thinks of himself, how that inferiority complex caught root in his head from an early age and he can’t shake it, he doesn’t even realize, i think. he doesn’t realize that he is strong, both physically and mentally, ESPECIALLY mentally. i’m sorry, this new issue of green arrow was such a love letter to roy harper as a character, even though it focuses on his insecurities. because it focuses on his insecurities. it humanizes him and puts into perspective that no, for him it wasn’t just a phase, it wasn’t just a mistake, it was a conscious decision that he made and regretted. and i think that’s beautiful, for him to grow as a person and reflect on the pain he self inflicted and realize that he is able to walk away from it. it’s why that distinction is so important to him, it’s why he wants lian to hear it from him, from his mouth. he was assaulted and he survived and he’s grateful to know that the situation wasn’t misunderstood. but still, still he explains it, because he can’t bear the thought of betraying his daughter, of leading her into thinking that he did it willingly. because he swore he wouldn’t do it and he didn’t. he never will. those panels of roy and lian on the rooftop are his promise and confession all in one. all his love, all his hate, all his pain and regret, it’s all there, but it’s honest. and that’s what matter most.
since i’m only three-fourths of the way through the netflix series, only ever watched someone else play through the witcher 3, and never touched the books, i’m sure there’re people out there more familiar with the character who could argue that it’s all more nuanced, actually, but here’s my yennifer of vengerberg hot take anyway: the why can’t i have it all - a career and a family angle is the stupidest fucking Written By A Man direction to take her character because the false dichotomy between choosing professional and personal fulfillment is manufactured by a system that doesn’t respect the demands of motherhood, takes for grated that women will shoulder the burden anyway, and enjoys how that conveniently keeps them crowded into neat boxes and yennifer’s WHOLE THING is that she defies the boxes in which people put her. so to have her buy into the idea that she has a career at the expense of motherhood when the moment she did actually very much have and make a choice about which path she’d take was written as a huge and sexy fuck you to everyone who dared exploit her is utter crap. why would you walk that back by having her regret it? for what?? another female character to have infertility-woe poisoning? i’m tired.
going to start fist-fighting the rats for trying to drag me back into hell
oh my goodness if my family is planning something tomorrow, I can't go. I refuse. I have a livestream I said I would attend tomorrow. >:/

Do I really have to make sure cool lore about a mercenary group in the Sol Dimension, how they took down small nations and villages and the curse plaguing their leader and their fateful encounter with the Princess of Sol
And then have to write the name Eggman Nega?
