Author has written 3 stories for Arrow, and Supergirl. I have been watching Arrowverse shows for a long time. I will be writing different pairings eventually. The posting schedule may vary depending upon how I am writing this. In events different from the show, it'll take time, otherwise if I am using storyline from the show, it becomes easier. I will reply to any reviews asking questions in the next chapter if I can't answer by pm or review section. Now what I am about to say could be taken as a rant, but want to give my 2 cents on these shows. Shows about which I will write : Arrow : I don't need to tell you guys where this show went wrong. It started pretty solid and not for illogical pairing and drama, it could have been one of the best. I wasn't In favour of olicity at all, but could have accepted it if done properly, but what we got instead made me pretty sour about the show. I will never be writing Olicity at all, despite how much I want to improve the characters. This pairing is ruined permanently for me. Anybody who's curious can read about Fatal Legacies. Don't purchase it, arrow subreddit can give you a quick glimpse of how the tie-in between season 5 and 6 is worse than a bad fanfiction! I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw it, I wish I hadn't. If anyone wants, I can give few examples. Not here, you can contact me via pm. I have read MG's interview about pairing of Oliver and felicity. If you want, you can find it in arrow subreddit. So many um, uh. God, reading that interview was a nightmare. No actual and proper reason, only we saw chemistry and we put her in one more and one more and thus we got the show "Felicity and Friends : Adventures of Overwatch". I give the credit that writers made her more tolerable in season 7. I am not ignoring the idiotic decisions she has made, but definitely a improvement compared to season 4. Another thing which bugged me in Crisis on Earth-X, now many of you may not agree with it, but according to me, Felicity's sudden desire to get married was due to what Thawne said to her "But no one's ever heard of Felicity smoak." And we saw what happened in the end of the crossover. I don't hesitate to point out the fault of any character, even if the character in question is my favourite one. Pairings I like and will write about them are - 1. Oliver and Sara: Damn, when I saw them fighting together in season 2 episode 4, I got the vibe of a couple that kick ass together. They also understand each other at a level which according to me, no one else did, respect each other and don't have to put up an act. They are free to be who they are. No pressure. In show, Sara said to Nyssa that no more killing in S02E13. That changed to 'oh I am a killer and filled with darkness in S02E20. And Oliver does nothing to change her mind otherwise, unlike in S02E14 ending where Sara convinces him not to push her away, thus paving the way for Olicity. Least dramatic relationship. 2. Oliver and Nyssa: Now many would say against this pairings and it's pretty commonly said that Nyssa is a lesbian. First of all, there is no where mentioned that she is a lesbian. Yeah, she was in love with Sara, but that was it. It can be said that she didn't deem any man worthy. Also some give the excuse of arrowverse fanthom. Now this is the same fanthom that says that John Deegan has peak of human reflex and peak of human speed, while there is no indication or mention in the show at all. If it's anywhere explicitly mentioned in the show, let me know. But as far as I remember, it wasn't. Now they can be a great couple as both are willing to do whatever it takes, make hard calls and protect those they care about fiercely. Both are warriors. 3. Oliver and Kara: Now if I am being honest, I didn't think of this pairing as I started watching other arrowverse shows after crisis on earth X. I have seen flash and legends of tomorrow, but not Supergirl. I have started watching it recently, although a bit slowly. I did watch few episodes of season 3 however. When I watched Crossover, Man, I actually liked Earth-X Oliver and Kara[Their relationship, not that they were Nazis.] They trusted, respected and loved each other. Oliver was willing to stop the invasion to save his wife, while Kara was willing to die rather than ruin her husband's work. Kara has righteousness issues from what I had seen in season 3 like 'I don't kill'. If she becomes more open to other ways, they can be a great couple too. This pairing, if done properly can lead to better long term character development for both, rather than soap opera we have seen in the shows. Kara can make Oliver less grumpy and bit more cheerful, while Oliver can give Kara realistic view of how things work. They are also similar as much as they are different. Both have suffered losses, have survivor's guilt, have responsibility to help their city. I like this pairing the most. (Since Oliver can cook, this would be complemented well with Kara who likes food.) 4. Oliver and Lena: Now I was neutral about this pairing at first, but this can very well work too, from what I have seen and heard about both characters. They can also very well work. Flash : I admit this show didn't pull me like Arrow did, but it was still very good, especially the first two seasons. Afterwards, you guys know the story what happened next. Savitar had potential, but first they made him leagues above Barry, then nerfed him down. Not to mention the drama that was going on. 4th season except first 5 episode and crisis crossover, rest I didn't watch, although my friend gave me the summary. 5th season, oh man. It reminded me of season 4 of arrow, although it wasn't that bad. Especially when Nora says she will give a chance to thawne after what he did, and iris defended her actions. Although I will give iris the credit of acting maturely after the crap Felicity pulled in Crisis on Earth-X, because anyone else wouldn't even think of having that person around them anymore. (Rehearsal dinner crap along with taking the spotlight of Barry and iris wedding.) I believed Barry was an idiot when he was chatting to zoom rather than knocking him out after removing his mask. Second instance of his stupidity was in final episode of Earth-X crossover. "I caught you, thawne. Now go away." "Ah, you got me." Like wtf? Thawne had only one purpose, to make Barry suffer and kill him. And you just let him go like that? Especially that version of Thawne is from a time after season 3. At least Oliver was way smarter than him. I am not saying that Barry kill him, but at least send him to prison. But no. There are more problems I can point out, but It's better than I don't point them out. If you guys are curious, there are few good authors, such as Phillipe363, Stand with ward and queen, Aragon II Elessar, and Bl4ck hunter.They have mentioned it in their stories. I don't hate Iris, I hate how she's writen, how she treated Barry, especially during counseling, then throwing speed force again in his face in season 5. Enough with the rant. Pairings. Barry and Caitlyn : This is the pairing I like the most in the show. Tension between the two is there and I like the dynamic in season 1. Barry and Patty : Pretty good chemistry between them. Barry should have been honest with her, told her about his identity. Similar to advice Caitlyn gives to Cisco. Barry and Sara : I have read about the pairings, this can also work in similar way as to Oliver and Kara. Sara can slap some stupidity out of Barry while Barry could have her light hearted. Barry and Kara : Now they are also similar in many ways. Both have a liking to food. And both were adopted. They can be very good friends and good for light hearted interactions in my opinion. I won't write this pairing but I am neutral to it. Legends of tomorrow and Supergirl : I won't be writing any story solely based on these shows but I will be including their characters in stories I will write. I will update the pairings if new ones come to mind and go well. |
