Good times, and memories

Sitting down to (finally) watch the season premiere of Arrow.

Again, the green and red colour cues. I have loved that about this show since season 1.

(this show led me to The Flash, and as such is responsible for… a lot of the last few years.)

=====

Put that back. Put Thea Queen back right now.

=====

Ollie, you little fink. Carry on.

=====

Mhm. Okay, this is interesting.

(I confess I am not entirely clear on which Earth the 2040 belongs to, but I will assume Earth-Prime.)

Apparently Malcolm Merlyn keeps the Spanish announce table in his office!

(this is a very obscure joke)

I’m very glad to see Rene again, but I wish–

Whoooo, Diggle!

Double-whoooo! Diggle!

=====

(not loving 2040, but maybe they’ll get it to click)

=====

(The bit with the champagne cork was cute.)

Oliver Queen.

There are some habits you should have broken by now, and lone-wolfily wolfing it alone is right up there.

Twit.

=====

Oh my god, twit.

…better.

Chase is doing this weird jaw-clenching thing when he talks. I find it mildly annoying, but will forgive it for the “Suit up.” in chorus.

=====

…that was oddly uplifting.

Diggle coming down on the No Fate aspect. Much love.

=====

Well that’s a hell of a thing.

Tumblr apparently ate my liveblog of the latest Flash episode, so to summarize:

much love for Frost and Cecile

I am seeing parallels with our white-boy heroes needing reminders about the possible malleability of the future and meeting alternate-Earth versions of their dead moms

when Jay Garrick is down with you committing time travel, things are very serious

they put a 15-year-old in Iron Heights what, pardon my French, the fuck

Joe’s speech and Barry’s rallying are carefully scripted to be heartwarming and touching and that is exactly the kind of content I am here for

I am clearly meant to like Ralph better this season and it’s working

Ultraviolet’s plan to preserve her identity by attacking a police station in the Flash’s city is some season-4 Thinker-level genius and I sincerely hope we see no more of that nonsense

okay, that’s Bloodwork and his continued presence is noted; I would rather have seen Chester TBH

that scene with Barry’s ring shining and Jay watching in the background as the helmet was handed over? That was fantastic.

Aigh.

I really, really wish that people would tag discussions of what will happen in upcoming episodes as spoilers.

What job do you think Axel would have if he hadn’t become a criminal?

peppersandcats Any ideas?

Hey, I love my Flashpoint story where Nora Allen didn’t die, got into social work, adopted him, and he became a cop on the bomb squad. It’s TV!verse, but could work for comics. (Heck if I can link on my phone, it’s in my “axel allen” tag.)

I also like the headcanon that instead of imprinting on the Rogues as father figures, he imprinted on John Constantine. ( isconnormcdavidok , did you come up with that or did I? I just remember giggling over an Axel-duckling following John around and leaving bloody footprints.)

Other things: rock star? Stuntman? Chemical engineer?

During rare, slow nights at work, I just throw boards together. I have a lot of them piled up in my phone. I post them in the drafts here to get points in the Photogrid app; I love that thing!

Don’t have a story for this- had some images saved and put them together- but anyone can do whatever they want with it. Write something based on it, do their own board, steal this and claim it as their own (if it’s any good).

I really like ColdWest, even though I think I’ve only read one fic for them.

I really like this one, and it’s dawning on me that I don’t think I’ve ever seen ColdWest. Thanks for sharing, it’s lovely.

I shouldn’t be drawing things at 3 am, that’s when all the mistakes happen. Evan and Mark for touchofgrey37, I hope you like it sweetie ;3;

…is that actually what happened? (I mean, obvs he didn’t die, but…)

Also, is that a ray gun? That looks like a ray gun. I am weirdly less odded-out by James’s current six-shooters and holsters.

(off to get three weeks worth of comics today, whooo)

gorogues:

That time James and Digger tripped the Flash and he died.

unstable-molecules:

The Flash #209, Sept 1971. Cover by Dick Giordano.

I somewhat misrepresented it for dumb laughs, but they tripped him and some interdimensional being pulled his soul/spirit out of his body to fight an alien threat, and so from James’ and Digger’s POV he’d simply died when he hit the ground.  The other being claimed it couldn’t put Barry’s soul back in his body so he was truly dead, though when Barry pressed it to try, his body returned to life and James and Digger freaked out about his apparent resurrection.

It probably was a ray gun.  In the Silver Age he had various guns and at least one of them worked (Barry made he and Len shoot each other), so him having guns isn’t unprecedented.  It’s possible some of the guns were fake or just gag props though, such as perhaps the handgun he used to hold up the plane in his first appearance.  We never saw whether it was real or not, and it might have just been part of the Jesse James gimmick…certainly it would have been a bad idea to fire it in an airplane!

Hooray for comics and catching up! :D

…okay, “tripped him and he died” sounds like a 100% workable summary, I would not worry about that being a misrepresentation at all.

I am always amazed by the sheer number of useful images and bits of information that you have. Thank you for sharing them.

My favourite fic of yours is Fish in the Jailhouse - which I think was the first of yours that I rea

Ah, thank you! That was both a fun character study and one of the longer and more complex things I’ve written. I worked fairly hard to make Axel an unreliable narrator in that in several ways (breaking out of Iron Heights with some cleaning supplies and someone else’s shiv while being of the opinion that he’s “not good at making plans” is possibly a favourite) and I think I actually managed; I’m really pretty proud of that one.

(Also oh god Iron Heights is horrible.)

thekelpie:

Has this been done or?

I mean, literally: AFAIK, no, it has not been done.

Metaphorically: has it ever not been done? One ponders.

(I mean technically, I think some of the TV fics I’ve read do not involve this, but not a lot of them.)
