I love Roy Harper as a character for the following reason:
I think he’s funny, I think he’s cute, I think he’s complex, I think he’s a dork, I think he’s an amazing dad
I like how he works to overcome his past issues and be a better person for his sake and his daughter’s sake
He’s not perfect, he knows he’s not perfect, but he’s doing the best he can and he’s okay with it
He can get terribly depressed about shit and has some self loathing problems, and I can relate
I like how he was raised in a community of Native Americans and accepted as one of them without becoming a White Savior character, unlike the way his mentor tries so hard to be one
He’s a good dad and fuck you if you think Lian’s a plot device
I don’t like it when
He’s treated like a knock off of Green Arrow, which is all the Red Arrow phase felt like to me and I still believe it would’ve meant something had the JLA accepted him with the name HE made for himself
He’s treated like a one dimensional joke about drug addicts
He’s treated like collateral damage for Green Arrow and Black Canary
His past being raised on a Navajo reservation is ignored for the sake of more drama between him and that idiot Oliver Queen

I cheated bc for me, Joyfire is not only my fave ship for Roy but I also love Red Hood And The Outlaws so it’s two birds one stone I guess (Sorry for it being so messy, but I’m a bit sick and also Con-Weekend...)

Summary:
-Summary: Roy sorts through his feelings about Jason and their relationship.
-Quote Preview:
That is when he realized how much the two of them had grown together. At some point between the first kiss and tonight, they had evolved from a heavily physical, playful relationship to a quasi-domestic dream team complete with a chores calendar and scented candles in the kitchen.
