I am here to submit an official complaint to Roy Harper ao3 writers everywhere.
Why is it that Roy Harper fan fiction doesn’t seem to exist without some relationship pairing involved? Or if he isn’t in a romantic relationship he’s a background character and the actual focus is another hero’s angst? Or if it is a romantic relationship it’s just smut??! (I get it, it’s Roy, but please)
I just want Roy Harper angst. I beg of thee. I don’t mind when he’s in relationships and the background character but please I need some variety! I just want to see him struggling, maybe a good fic with him and Ollie’s dynamic idk
Anyway. If you have fic recs for Roy let me know; I went on such a deep dive into ao3 last night and felt so much despair I ended up rewatching Green Lantern (2011)…
I don't think people talk enough about Roy Harper’s origin story. Maybe it’s cause it doesn’t always get handled in the best way but I would love to see the full effect of how growing up the way he did shaped him.
Cause we sure talk a lot about his abandonment issues but also his fear of not belonging?? The way other kids treated him as an outsider?? Brave Bow’s influence on Roy?? How much is his illness did he managed to hide? Do you think Roy panics when others show similar symptoms? Seeing more of the Navajo culture and how he views it in general.
I’m not American so I don’t know what the consensus is regarding this, cause Roy could be seen as cultural appropriation I guess, but unless they change their origin (which could be seen as erasure imo), I think I would love to see dc explore his childhood a bit more. And this is a difficult topic but I think it’s freaking great if handled with care.
so they kept the Cry for Justice storyline intact and Roy still lost his arm and has an identical copy of an actual arm cuz that's when Lian died or did he just never lose his arm in the first place and Lian died in a totally unrelated explosion and i'm just missing something (also thank you for responding, i'm just genuinely curious)
Ok so, I’ve been getting into reading Green Arrow n Titans comics cuz most of my faves are there (Arsenal, Black Canary, Starfire, Raven, etc etc) BUT I was rereading the latest Green Arrow series and I noticed something
This scene is from the Rise of Arsenal series, where Roy has to deal with losing an arm and his daughter. BUT i’m like so sure that Cry for Justice was retconned away with the new 52 or rebirth, mostly cuz Roy just has his arm back and a newer backstory in both the new 52 and rebirth (ik for sure in rebirth but idk for sure in the new 52) so how does he get his arm back??? Again I am just getting into the comics but I genuinely dunno how he got his arm back (my theory was that it was infinite frontier where he came back from the dead but I thought it was because of his death in sanctuary where, again, HE HAD BOTH ARMS🗣️) Someone please help, cuz when I tried googling it all I got was the Young Justice TV show explanation ☹️
this is a genuine question, it’s getting annoying and I want to know how to stop this from happening😥
