About me:
Born 28th February 1994. I am a male of Vietnamese origin and I was born and have been living in Prague, Czech Republic my whole life with my parents and a year older brother. Occassionally, I travel to Vietnam to visit my extended family and relatives or other countries during the vacations. Never been to the U.S.A. but I'd like to visit it sometime.

An ever-trying geek who often screws up stuff, has strange imagination. Sometimes I'm laid-back and calm, sometimes I'm short-tempered and can easily get very angry. Been reading fanfiction since 2015, started to write in 2016. I don't consider myself a great writer in comparison to others but I see myself as good and experienced enough. However, it might happen that over the time I delete some of my stories, if I consider them not compelling enough, which has happened to me before. Also, sometimes I suffer from insomnia, i.e. I wake up in the middle of the night, unable to sleep, so I try to kill some time by going on Internet and read fanfiction, among other things.

Lover of a lot of video games, TV series, comic books (mainly Marvel and DC Comics), novels (Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Inheritance Cycle, Percy Jackson, Lord of the Rings etc.) and various films.

I especially love Marvel Cinematic Universe. There are a lot of things I enjoy about the films, TV series, tie-in comic books etc. in this universe.

I think that DC Extended Universe has been mishandled, not saying that it's bad but it's not as enjoyable to me as MCU, the only films I have really enjoyed from DCEU so far were Wonder Woman and Aquaman, although while the latter had a bit messy plot, it is good watching.
Man of Steel was an OK film but it was a complete misinterpretation of origin of Superman.
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice - the action aspect, special effects and Ben Affleck and Batman were great but the plot didn't make that much sense overall, with the constant public distrust of Superman and while Batman's disillusionment and distrust of Superman is understandable, he automatically decides to kill Superman, because he just slightly can be considered a threat, I call that stupid paranoia. Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman was amazing but the film overall was a complete mess.
Suicide Squad was nothing but a bad DC Comics attempt at MCU's Avengers and don't get me started on Justice League film because that was such a mess.
Shazam wasn't all that bad but more like average.

So, you can expect my stories to happen a lot in DC Comics and Marvel Comics universes.

Also, a follower of Fast and Furious and Star Wars franchises.

As a hobby, I also sing, play on guitar and piano and play video games or do mathematics, since math is my favorite subject.

Sometimes I add in my own version of endings in case I don't like how does the storyline originally go, while inserting my OCs. Or, I add other comic book characters into my stories from comic book adaptations to try to give the story a better spin rather than how it went down in the canon. And, if you think that my inserted versions of characters are acting differently than in comic books, remember that this is fanfiction and even then, a lot of showrunners and other fanfiction writers like me use their own spin on characters from comic books in their stories, so think about it before criticizing that my characters are acting OOC than in comic books.

Sometimes, just for fun, I create AUs.

I can be an empathic and understanding person, so I’d like to think I can get into the heads the characters, when writing and I can understand and respect other people’s thoughts and opinions, if they disagree with me and give compelling and reasonable arguments but I'm not gonna tolerate insults, swearing, vulgarisms, profanities or any other dirty words of any kind or pushing other people's opinions and requests onto others.

I also have an account on AO3, if you want to take a look at my stories elsewhere if FF.net does not work for some reason.

My updating policy:
As for my updating policy, it depends on my schedule, my other plans, personal life or current ideas and inspiration for my stories, since writing a fanfiction is more my hobby and leisure, rather than a job but I try to update each story at least once per week, with at least one chapter per week with each story. If possible, I update all stories currently in progress at once at least one time each week, save for those that I have not fully planned through and need more time to think through how the storyline of a new chapter goes.

If I leave a story not updated for a while and there is a significant gap between the last and current update of my stories (if I leave a story NOT updated for more than a week), it's either because I'm busy with work, my own private life, looking for inspiration for writing the next chapter and come up with some creative ideas or changes or I'm focused on other stories currently or I simply need a break but that does not mean I have stopped writing the one I have left neglected, so, please be patient.

My opinion on story requests and challenges:
If someone would like to issue me a story challenge or a story request, I might consider it at the very least BUT if I decide NOT to write the story, it is most likely gonna be because of having no idea where would I even go with it to even start writing or I might not like the idea at all. Before anyone thinks about it, don’t bother asking me to write stories with non-canon slash (gay or lesbian) or incest pairings in any comic book fandom (Marvel Comics, Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC Comics, Arrowverse etc.), since I hate when people write such pairings in these fandoms. I am a comic book fan and I find non-canon slash and non-canon incest in comic book fandoms disgusting, disrespectful and offending, both to fans and readers and the comic book characters. I might write female slash in other fandoms outside comic books but it is not very likely. Male slash or incest - never, anywhere.

My writing policy - Stories I am going to write:
I take my writing very seriously, sometimes with light humor and I also write some occassional crack fic comedy one-shots written out of humor, so it may happen sometimes that somewhere down the line, I decide to rewrite some things in my already finished stories, so don't be surprised if that happens when you are re-reading my stories, since I have perfectionist tendencies and minor OCD sometimes and it happens that I don’t like some parts in my stories that I had written and I do a rewrite later. I also write one-shots, which serve as a filler or that are meant to call someone out on their bullshit behavior that annoys me or that are purely for humor and laugh. If I decide to delete a story, either in progress or complete, there is something I do not like in my story and don't want that there and I think it is too late to change that or I have lost my willpower, inspiration and motivation to write the story.

I've tried writing stories in 1st person viewpoint of the main characters before but re-reading my stories of this type after finishing them, it did not sit for me, so my stories are gonna be written from the narrator's viewpoint.

I try to be empathic, introspective and understanding and get into the minds of the characters, when writing, to make my stories realistic to the standards of the fandom. Honestly, in some cases I have doubts about succeeding that.

I try to keep romance and action and relationship drama in my stories balanced to make my written stories likeable enough. My preferred writing are stories with balanced and leveled romance, drama and action and where a lot of emotions that are needed to the plot, are expressed as appropriate, even though I may not succeed in this sometimes, with some occassional comedic and humorous aspects. I especially enjoy writing touching emotional scenes. I try to make my stories mainly plot-driven with balanced level of romance, emotions, sexual content, comedy, humor and drama and focused more on intriguing and compelling storyline.

Frankly, I don't see myself as a good writer of romances (not that I don't like writing them but sometimes, when I read my romances over, I just don’t feel like they have been well-written) or fight scenes but, no better opinion than the one of the reader’s. If my stories are romance-focused, I take great care in writing them to make them realistic, even though sometimes I fail in that area, or at least I think I fail, the same with trying to write good fight scenes.

As for relationships, I will write in my stories pairings that I approve of in the fandoms, as listed below. I will not write pairings that I disapprove of or dislike in the fandoms, unless it is a breakup, or to show why they would not work or if a partner in the pairings that I do not approve of, needs to be called out on something or if it's going to be a humorous situation I want to write with them. If I have a mixed opinion on the pairing, I might consider writing a better handled version of the pairing.

But I will most likely NEVER write stories with homosexual slash or incest pairings that are not canon, since most of such fics in my opinion are nonsense and insulting and disrespectful and a load of crap, save for some rare exceptions regarding female slash, if I see the sexual subtext there but it is VERY UNLIKELY that I will write these. I will never write male slash, just to be clear. And I will never write or read any stories with non-canon male or female slash (gay or lesbian) pairings or non-canon incest pairings in any comic book fandom, such as Marvel Comics, Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC Comics, DC Extended Universe, Arrowverse, Smallville etc. and I think that anyone who writes such pairings in any comic book fandom, is legitimately out of their mind and has no respect towards the comic book characters, since I find non-canon slash pairings and non-canon incest pairings in any comic book fandom disgusting, insulting and disrespectful towards the characters.

My writing policy about stories with adult content and suggestive themes and how am I going to or not going to write them:
Just rarely will I write stories rated MATURE (M) with adult and suggestive themes and darker atmosphere, such as gore, graphic and intensive violence and brutality, graphic torture, graphic nudity and detailed heavy explicit sexual content (smut) etc. since these kinds of stories are not my preferred kind of writing and I honestly don’t see myself writing such stories very often. It would make me feel uncomfortable writing such stories since I do not want to give an impression of a pervert or a sadist when writing such stories or being disrespectful towards either males or females, even though I would lie if I said that I would not be tempted to write stories with graphic female nudity. But, I do not want to come off as a pervert or a sadist and give a wrong impression, therefore, you are not going to see me writing such stories very often and there will most likely be only few of such stories that I will post and if so, the content will be to fit to the plot, either for romance aspect or other but I will try to keep it leveled and focus more on the plot, because I do not want the readers to get wrong impression about me, when I write my stories and it is not my main intention to force into stories too much sexual content or to disrespect or violate the characters. I usually write stories available and appropriate for everyone and only rarely will I ever write M-rated stories with adult content, such as graphic nudity, detailed heavy and explicit sexual content, gore, detailed graphic torture etc.

If there will be sexual content in my story, it will be as it can fit the plot that I want to write to be more intriguing and interesting with balanced amount of action, romance and drama and while it will be to fit the plot, it is not my main intention to dehumanize and/or humiliate the characters in my stories but it may happen to them to fit the plot. You will not see me often write stories containing explicit content, such as smut with graphic nudity or heavy, explicit sexual content and if I write a story with such content (explicit love scenes with graphic nudity and detailed sexual content, steamy scenes, BDSM, explicit and/or sexual torture etc.), it will be as it appropriately fits the plot of my stories, not stories purely full of lust and sexual scenes with no actual compelling intriguing plot, containing swear words or vulgarities, such as rape, sexual torture etc. purely for the sake of these themes themselves instead of putting them into the plot of the stories as they fit to make the stories more intriguing. I certainly will not write the sex scenes too much to the detail to make them ”lemons” or pornographic sex scenes.

My stories may contain themes as those mentioned above but I will not write purely sexual stories with no compelling plot whatsoever or slash non-canon homosexual pairings, save for the exceptions listed later below. I definitely am not going to write incest or male slash, ever. Female slash - just some very rare exceptions.

If I write sexual content or content with graphic nudity in my stories, it will be as it fits the plot, although I cannot promise that the content will not be too disrespecting, humiliating or dehumanizing to the main characters, if the plot will demand it but it is not my intention to disrespect, violate, humiliate or otherwise dehumanize the characters that are subjects of the sexual content with graphic nudity written in my stories, such as main characters being stripped naked in an uncomfortable, humilating situation for them or graphic nudity supplemented with torture.

And I am never going to write or read stories with non-canon male slash (gay) pairings or non-canon incest pairings, since I find these disrespectful, disgusting and insulting towards the readers and characters. Stories with non-canon female slash (lesbian) pairings - There are only some very rare exceptions that I might write or read but I will never write non-canon slash (gay or lesbian or bisexual or incest) pairings in comic book fandoms (Marvel, DC Comics etc.), when the characters in canon are not in gay, lesbian or incest relationship, since I find these pairings offending and disgusting. I think anyone who writes such pairings, is out of their mind and has no respect towards the comic books.

My writing policy - Stories I am never going to write:
To be absolutely clear, I have NO INTENTION AT ALL of writing incest stories, when in the canon the family members are not in romantic or sexual relationship with each other, nor do I intend to turn the main characters into homosexual (gay/lesbian) when in canon they are not and I have very little to no interest of reading such stories either and I am not going to write stories in which the characters are in a homosexual relationship with each other, when in canon they are not homosexuals, which means I am not going to write any slash fiction or incest stories, such as PWP or harem stories, when the pairings are not canon in the fandom because frankly, these kinds of stories disgust and offend me and I am most likely going to consider most of them complete nonsense and insult to the actual relationships between the characters paired in the fanfiction stories of such type and it cheapens their friendly relationships. I consider these stories insults and complete disrespect to friendships, bromances, womances and family bonds and other platonic relationships or other kinds, when people in fanfiction write incest pairings or homosexual slash pairings that are not canon in the fandom. I might see some sexual subtext in the interaction between the characters, mainly pairing female characters, when the pairings are not canon but that does not mean I will write these pairings myself.

As for the sexual content in my stories, it will be as descriptive and objective as fitting and detailed as appropriate due to the rating I will put on the story, there will be minimum vulgarities or swearing and these scene will not be exaggarated (too descriptive and exaggarated with vulgarisms or swear words), like how some writers might write sex scenes.

I’ve seen various stories in fanfiction, where people have done pairings (slash fictions, incest, gay/lesbian), which are not canon in fandoms and to be blunt, most of these pairings that are not canon in fandoms disgust me and offend me and I have very little to no interest in reading such stories, since I find stories with such pairings insulting, disrespectful and offensive towards me and other writers that may be disgusted by such stories and towards the characters paired in such fanfiction stories. Will I read them? Unlikely and if so, I am sure I am not going to like most of them, save for some VERY RARE exceptions that I shall mention later below in my bio in the part regarding the fandoms.

I will NEVER write stories with non-canon incest pairings or non-canon homosexual pairings (slash pairings) in my stories, since, save for some very rare exceptions, I find most of them offending, disrespectful towards characters and insulting load of crap. As for the exceptions that I shall mention later, it is very unlikely I will write them, it will depend on whether I see the sexual subtext between the characters.

Non-canon female slash F/F (lesbian) fics - Maybe, if I see the sexual subtext but it is not very likely that I will write these. Will I read them? Unlikely, save for some exceptions in fandoms regarding pairings that I shall mention below, such as Dragon Age or Buffyverse. Writing female slash - My thoughts about it shall be explained below later but it is unlikely that I will write these, since there are only very few cases, where I can think of some female slash pairings that I am intrigued in and would like to see. But I am not interested in them in any comic book fandom, such as Marvel Comics, Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC Comics or Arrowverse. I will not write or read such fics with these pairings, ever, in any comic book fandom. And I think that anyone who writes or reads these kinds of stories, is a disgusting individual with no respect towards the comic books or characters. As for other fandoms than the comic book ones, that depends. Maybe I will read them or write them but the chances of that are very unlikely and it will depend on whether I can see the sexual subtext between the paired female characters. And I will never read or write anywhere any stories with non-canon incest pairings or non-canon male slash M/M (gay) pairings because I find these pairings completely insulting towards the characters and they disgust me.
Non-canon incest or male slash M/M (gay) fics - NEVER, zero chance on me writing them or reading them anywhere, since these are in my opinion total bullshit and disgusting. I am not homophobic but I hate non-canon incest and non-canon male slash in all fandoms and like I said, I find them disgusting and stupid. I will not write or read them, ever, anywhere.

I will NEVER write any AU orgy, harem fics or anything of this sort because I find these kinds of fics very stupid too.

And I certainly will not write or read any non-canon incest fics or slash of any kind (male slash, female slash, incest, harem, orgy etc.) in Marvel Comics, Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC Comics, Arrowverse or any other comic book fandoms, since these are in my opinion completely insulting and I wonder what the hell are people thinking when writing non-canon slash and non-canon incest pairings in comic book fandoms, since I find non-canon slash (gay, lesbian or bisexual) and non-canon incest pairings in fanfiction stories in comic book fandoms with pairings that are not canon, very disgusting, offending and insulting. Honestly, I think that people that write non-canon slash (gay and lesbian) and non-canon incest pairings in any comic book fandom, are out of their minds and need professional help, since I find stories with such pairings in any comic book fandom and universe very disgusting, offending, insulting and disrespectful, both towards the characters of the comic books, films, TV series, video games etc. and the readers and fans of the franchises.

Female slash in other TV shows or films or video games that are not adaptations of comic books or novels - very unlikely chance that I will write them, depending on if I see some sexual subtext. Again, VERY unlikely.

I am never going to write AU stories where characters are completely OOC, such as High School AUs or Medieval Times etc. or AU teenager fics unless they are one-shots purely for fun and amusement. I may be tempted to read such stories but it will be likely that my interest in these stories will die quickly, unless they are short, funny and hilarious for amusement and laugh, such as one-shots. Unless these are just for amusement like one-shots from LyCox, which I find very amusing, I will unlikely ever be interested in these stories and/or write them and if so, they will most likely be one-shots purely for amusement. Mostly, I will most likely be as realistic as it can get in regards to the fandom’s standards of its universe fandom reality. I will stick to the present timeline of the fandom, if I write AUs. The characters may act OOC a bit but will more or less remain to their nature, unless I intend to write a comedy AU.

The pairings that I do not approve of in fandoms, as mentioned later below, I will not write these in my stories, unless it is a breakup, showing why they would not work, or if a partner in the pairing that I do not approve of, needs to be called out on something. And don’t expect me to write fan service pairings either, unless I can see how they can work. Some of the pairings that fans would like, I find too stupid to actually care about them and will never write them, such as in Arrowverse, the examples being Oliver Queen / Tatsu Yamashiro, or Sara Lance / Alex Danvers or in Star Wars Kylo Ren / Rey. I think you would have to be out of your minds to actually support such pairings. I will not write any fan service pairings, unless I can see how it could work, such as Oliver Queen / Nyssa al Ghul in Arrowverse or Bucky Barnes / Natasha Romanoff in MCU. If I have a mixed opinion on the pairing, I might try writing a better handled version of the pairing.

And I don't like writing self-insert stories, since I think it would be ridiculous if writers would try to involve themselves directly into the storylines. I find those stories amusing but sometimes there are Gary Stu, Mary Sue or canon divergence moments that I do not like. I may write my own OCs into some stories but they will most likely will be as realistic to the plot as they can be and I will try NOT to write any Gary Stus or Mary Sues, even though it may not seem that way or characters that belong to the universe but have not been included in the fandom yet, with my own spin on them.

Also, I will not write OCs that are siblings or relatives to the main characters because I find this concept utterly ridiculous, unless it is done in a way that does not make them overpowered Mary Sues or Gary Stus. Nor will I write stories, where main characters become of opposite gender, since I find this concept stupid.

My review policy:
As for reviews, while I appreciate immediate feedback in reviews in each update I do on every chapter, constructive criticism, tactfulness and honesty is appreciated but I don't like harsh criticism or insulting at all, not only against me but also against other writers, since I can be a sensitive person and I can get easily discouraged from continuing writing my stories or really pissed off. It may be needed if you want to call us out on some inconsistencies in the stories, if the characters are acting OOC, if there are plot holes, if we are too harsh or mean towards the characters etc. but to be honest, it makes me, personally, feel like a bad writer and makes me want to reconsider writing my stories.

So, while I will understand if you need to call me out on some things that you may not like in my stories, I would appreciate constructive criticism, tactfulness, consideration and trying to put it gently without strong language and insulting too much and if you need to call me out on some inconsistencies or something you don't like, don't be too mean, please. You are welcome to be either objective or subjective or both to my stories but I will appreciate tactfulness, when reviewing, since I get easily discouraged from very harsh feedback, so please, no flames. If you need to be harsh, OK but please, restrain yourselves from using very vulgar language and swearing, when reviewing my stories, since I do not like reading those in reviews, especially if such nasty language is aimed directly at me as an author and I'd appreciate if you didn't write such harsh reviews to other writers either, such as Phillipe363, who happens to be a friend of mine, since harsh language, profanities, dirty words, swearing, vulgarisms and insults really piss me off.

I can be an understanding person, if someone disagrees with me and gives compelling and reasonable arguments to what I write and what I think and my own opinions but I would appreciate no swearing and if they were not harsh or trying to start an argument with me or being pushy with their arguments.

I've seen various users or guest users swear in reviews at other writers before and I find that very disrespectful, tactless and insulting. And especially, I think that guest reviewers swearing at authors for their writing and spreading their negative thoughts to other users’ stories in review pages, are cowards for not wanting to be replied to and hiding behind guest reviews. And I will not tolerate any ranting or bashing or swearing or vulgarities in reviews.

If the guest expects me to reply to their question, they should use a registered account on FF.net, since I do not reply to guest reviews directly in my stories on FF.net, if they ask a question. I will reply to guest reviews on AO3, however. All guest reviews asking a question in my story, will be automatically ignored and deleted, since I am not going to reply to guests directly in my stories. To them, I suggest asking on AO3 or use a registered account on FF.net, so that I can reply to their questions via PM.

! As for the guest reviews, to be blunt - If there is a guest review I do not like in regards to my story, if I find it inappropriate, redundant or offensive, if it is straight-up whining, insulting or complaining or tearing down because you disagree with something in my stories or have some flames to spout about with harsh, vulgar language and swearing or it is something I consider a very stupid question to ask, if it is something you cannot agree with me on and have arguments I find stupid or that I do not want to hear or if I find the comment unnecessary or if it has nothing to do with the story at all and I consider it irrelevant, it gets deleted. No exceptions. If you disagree with me, it better be supported with compelling, fair and reasonable arguments and better not be harsh comment or swearing or it gets deleted. If the guest review is about asking a question, I advise to create an account on FF.net, so that I can reply in PM because I do not reply to guest reviews in my stories on FF.net but I will reply to them on AO3. !

I shall start writing the stories in this phase sometime later in Autumn/Winter 2019. If I get another idea that would fit into this saga, I will most likely write it too.

I do have planned a sequel which will have Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame vibe as a final installment of the series, which will take a while.

I will also write my version of Crisis on Infinite Earths, once it airs in December 2019.

Oliver and Sara: Road to Redemption

CanArrow (Oliver / Sara) rewrites of Arrow Seasons 1-3. I considered doing Season 4 rewrite too but my ideas about the Season 4 didn't feel right to me, didn't have any creative changes in mind.

1. Eternal Flames
After five years in Hell, Oliver Queen has come home to bring down those who are poisoning his city. What he does not know that an old friend of his has returned from a hell of her own and they both start to clash over their aligned interests. But when it all comes crashing down, what happens with the bonds that they have? Can they return to what once they were to each other?

2. The Sins of the Past
Five months after the Undertaking, Sara seeks out Oliver to bring him back from his self-imposed exile to aid her save their city from the evil forces trying to take it over, as well as struggling with the sins and ghosts from their pasts that have come back to haunt them and threaten to destroy their lives and of everyone they care about.

3. At the Demon’s Sight
Malcolm Merlyn returns with a sinister and cunning plan to put Oliver and Sara into the sight of Ra's al Ghul and the mystery behind Talia and Sara comes to surface.

Marvel Cinematic Universe

The Defenders Return

Trilogy I have started since all Netflix MCU TV series were cancelled, covering Iron Fist Season 2, Daredevil Season 3 and Avengers: Endgame

1. The Devil and the Black Sky: Road to Redemption
After the fall of the Hand, enemies remaining set out to a more dangerous plot, prompting some old allies to band together again but the trust becomes more shattered than before and they need to regain the trust and faith in each other to win the upcoming fight.

2. The Devil and the Black Sky: Reckoning
Wilson Fisk is freed from prison and hellbent on taking revenge on the man, who put him behind bars, uniting dangerous foes in order to destroy his nemesis and everyone he cares about.

3. All for one
With the entire universe plunged into chaos, the Avengers and all remaining heroes surviving the Decimation must assemble to undo Thanos's actions and restore balance to the universe, whatever it takes.

I'm going to list down TV series that I am currently watching or have watched in the past, even though there may be more that I have enjoyed but probably have forgotten to think of.

Current Favorite TV shows that I am watching:

Altered Carbon
A nicely done show by Netflix. Sci-fi futuristic crime TV series with an interesting concept.

Arrowverse (Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl)
I was interested in Arrow mainly because of the Green Arrow appearing in Smallville that I watched with my brother, when I was younger. Frankly, at this point, the Arrowverse franchise is a mixed bag, to be completely honest. It has its ups and downs but I’m not giving up on it fully, when a new season starts, I watch the first half until Christmas, then it depends later on reviews and recommendations of others, since the shows can be worth watching sometimes, if the storylines are compelling enough but the shows, mainly Arrow and Supergirl often push political agenda and all the shows can often turn into boring soap opera drama about relationships (and in these cases, these relationships are the negatives of the show), when it should be more about action, mainly The Flash due to WestAllen, a pairing of which I do not approve and sometimes Arrow due to Olicity, I may have given it a pass in Season 6-7 but that doesn't mean I support it or Supergirl sometimes with many relationship dramas.
Legends of Tomorrow is amusing in its own way but kind of ridiculous and one thing I am annoyed by that it often reminds of Sara's attraction to girls, which is annoying and pushing more LGBT agenda. And her having a clone as a girlfriend since Season 3-4 is just so freaking weird. It's not the Sara Lance I used to love in Arrowverse anymore.
LoT was fun the first two seasons, now it’s average at best and Season 4 of Legends of Tomorrow was gradually losing steam until it became too boring for me to care about it, since the plot was becoming more and more stupid and ridiculous and Sara in LoT is not as how she was initially introduced into Arrow. Arrowverse often does fan service pandering to a small but very vocal group of fans and some storylines are repetitive and boring and they push political agenda into the shows.
I was willing to give at least Season 1 of Batwoman a chance but after seeing the trailer, I think it's gonna be feministic/lesbian political agenda with hate against men, so I'm worried it's gonna be as bad as Supergirl with pushing political agenda. I'm gonna give Season 1 a chance until Crisis on Infinite Earths but I'm worried it's gonna be really bad.

Black Mirror
Dark but interesting series, focused on bizarre perspective on technologies

Blindspot
I've had my reservations at first but it uses an interesting concept and there are a lot of governmental conspiracies. Plus, Jaimie Alexander does a great job in the series.

Elementary
Different, modern-age take on Sherlock Holmes in 21st century New York

The Expanse
Good TV series adaptation of book series of same title (Haven't read the books as a whole though). It's stupid that SyFy cancelled it in 2018 but glad that a month later, Amazon decided to take over.

Futurama
I don't even know why do I have to defend this series.

Grey's Anatomy
Don't judge me or laugh at me, please. I've watched it for a long time and I have nothing against soap operas but some TV series are overselling it but Grey's Anatomy has good balance of soap opera, romances, dramas, tragedies and comedies. I find it often amusing but it does have its negatives, such as main characters that I like, that either leave the show or die. I'll admit I haven't watched the show as a whole though but the episodes I have watched, were either very amusing or very sad.

Lucifer
I think it's one of the best crime TV shows with a very different but interesting take on the Devil himself.

Luther
One of the best British TV crime shows I have ever seen. It has its good and bad seasons. Honestly, the only good episodes IMO are those, where Alice Morgan, played by Ruth Wilson, shows up.

Mr. Robot
I watch it mainly because my brother does but it's interesting series about hacktivists, trying to erase USA's financial debts and their plan later turns everything into chaos

MCU TV shows - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher, The Defenders.
Sad that Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and The Punisher were cancelled by Netflix because of Disney’s new streaming service. Part of me hopes that the shows will continue and be renewed by Disney but I highly doubt that, besides, the contract with Netflix bans these character from appearing in anything fron Marvel Cinematic Universe two years after the cancellation of their shows, therefore until 2020-2021 it is highly unlikely that Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage or The Punisher will return.
The Defenders was nice limited series but according to the reviews, the miniseries was average at best.
I haven't found time to watch Runaways, or Cloak and Dagger but I will watch them eventually.
Agent Carter was good the first season, then it got boring. Had a potential but it was cancelled. Pity but I won't shed a tear over this one either. I had no interest in watching Inhumans, mainly because I knew it wouldn't be good and I read that it had low ratings and unfavorable reviews, being cancelled after airing one season, so thank God I didn't watch it.

Rick and Morty
Very crazy parodic but amusing animated TV series.

Sherlock
I don't even know why do I have to defend this series.

The Simpsons
I don't even know why do I have to defend this series.

South Park
I don't even know why do I have to defend this series.

Stranger Things
I'll admit that so far I have seen only Season 1 but it's well done Netflix TV series.

Titans
I'll admit I had my reservations at first but it is very dark and brutal, like on Netflix’s Daredevil level kind of dark and not like Arrowverse shows that are more lighted up. It is very well done TV series with a darker take on Dick Grayson and the members of Teen Titans.

Westworld
Interesting HBO TV series, with humans and robots.

It might happen that some seasons of the TV series suck in my honest opinion, so I decide to throw "the season of the show into trash bin", so to speak but I don't want to give up on the TV series overall and I might watch them, if the reviews are good regarding the new seasons and episodes or on recommendation from a friend.

Favorite TV shows that I have watched in the past: (FYI, there may be more TV shows that I have liked and enjoyed but I will not list them all below, there's quite a lot of TV series that I have watched and liked, until they lasted and were either cancelled, ended or in my opinion were boring and not interesting anymore or some plots have made me dislike and give up on the series or there are some that I liked but have forgotten about them and could not think of to list down, I watch some of them sometimes again for old times sakes on Netflix or on other online stream services and websites or I download them for rewatching)

2 Broke Girls
The first two seasons it was OK, then it was boring and cliche and stupid and stereotypical. Good that it got cancelled.

Alias
I liked the spy drama TV series.

The Big Bang Theory
The show was good at first but I think it got dragged out for far too long. I had enough after Season 8, since it was getting stereotypical and cliche. Can't believe it actually got 12 seasons before they decided to cancel it in 2018, with the 12th season being the last.

Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and Angel
I watched Buffy and Angel, when I was a young kid and both shows kind of grew on me and I still watch both shows, when I get the chance.

Constantine
Sad that it lasted just one season. But I am glad to see Constantine, played by Matt Ryan, in Arrowverse after his show was cancelled. Outside of Constantine TV series, I know that Matt Ryan played Edward Kenway, the main character of my favorite of one of my favorite game series, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

Continuum
Personally, I think it's amazing but underrated sci-fi time travel TV series, played by one of my favorite actresses, Rachel Nichols.

Dexter
Season 8 wasn't that much interesting anymore but it was one of the best crime TV shows I've ever watched.

Falling Skies
Post-apocalyptic alien invasion TV series. The first two seasons were OK but then the plot was developing into a huge mess until it lost steam throughout Seasons 3-5 and most of the main characters' development went to hell.

Fear the Walking Dead
Interesting prequel to Walking Dead but a bit stereotype and cliche. I watched only Season 1 and lost interest in watching further the following seasons, when Walking Dead was going to hell in Season 6.

Friends
Excellent classic sitcom.

Full Metal Panic and Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid and Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu
Interesting and sometimes funny anime.

Game of Thrones
I'll admit I've never had the willpower to read the books as a whole, I've looked up the overview of the storyline but the TV series are good too, although it gets often very dark and scary and gory and with a lot of unexpected and sometimes outraging and sometimes amazing twists but some things in it are quite messed up and they diverge from the books too.

Glee
Laugh at me and judge me all you want but I liked the series and it was amusing teen music show and I am a musician and singer myself, since it is my hobby. I enjoyed the show in my teens, back when I was in high school. Plus, it is amusing that Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist, who played previously in Glee, were later cast as main characters, Barry Allen, in The Flash and Kara Danvers (Kara Zor-El) in Supergirl.

Gotham
Different interpretation of origin of Batman characters but I liked it. But honestly, to me it stopped being interesting in the first half of Season 2.

Heroes
The first two seasons it was OK but then it wasn't much interesting. And the renewal Heroes Reborn that aired in 2015-2016 was a complete disaster.

House M.D.
One of the best shows ever.

How I Met Your Mother
One of the best sitcoms ever but in Seasons 6-9, it got a bit boring and cliche, and mainly the relationships Ted/Robin and Barney/Robin kept going on in circle with breaking up and making up and getting back together.

Charmed (1998-2005 TV series aired by the WB channel)
One of the best supernatural TV shows ever. I did not even bother watching the CW reboot of the series from 2018, since most TV series reboots/remakes turn out to be utter piece of crap.

Chuck
The show in hindsight was very, maybe too ridiculous to watch but it is an amusing comedy spy show with an ordinary average geek guy, who is forced to become a super spy and he and a badass CIA female agent fall in love over the course of the show. It may have been stupid TV series but if you're not taking it seriously and are watching it just for amusement, it is OK.

iZombie
Good teen TV series for relax. Average but can be good for distraction and with a cliche ending. Not the best series but good for relaxing, if you've got nothing to do.

Lost
In Season 6 it got boring and the ending of the series was downer.

The Mentalist
One of the best detective TV series that I've ever watched with a good ending.

Merlin
I think it's one of the best shows ever but underrated but I can understand to an extent why. My only problem with the show was that it contradicted the lore and legends about Merlin, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table quite a lot but if you try not to look at it as origin story of Merlin and King Arthur and Knights of the Round Table but as any other TV series, you'll enjoy it.

My Name Is Earl
Jason Lee nailed it as Earl. The concept was ridiculous but interesting and each scenario in every episode was in its way funny. Pity it got cancelled.

Naruto
I think it's one of the best anime TV series ever but I honestly don't have the energy to watch so many episodes it has and while I enjoyed the anime show, it is too long for my taste, I stopped watching after Sasuke got Itachi’s eyes but I read what happened later. I watched all Naruto films though. Never read the manga comic books since I'm not a fan of manga in general.

New Girl
The show started off poorly but then it got better and better. Plus, Zooey Deschanel is great in any comedy.

Numb3rs
Pity it got cancelled but I like maths and the application of advanced mathematics into solving crimes was an interesting concept

The O.C.
One of my favorite shows that I watched in my teens.

Prison Break
Season 4 was bit boring but Season 5 that aired in 2017 was good ending of the series, even though it was a bit complicated.

Salvation
Pity it got cancelled after two seasons. I think it had potential.

Sense8
One of the best Netflix shows ever. Pity it got cancelled after two seasons due to the high budget but the series finale they gave us few months after announcing cancellation to finish the series made up for it.

Shooter
Pity it got cancelled, I liked the 2007 film on which the series is based on but Season 3 was turned into a bit of a family drama and the storyline wasn't that much compelling and intriguing anymore, so maybe it's good that it got cancelled.

Smallville
I used to like the show, it was a good origin story of Clark Kent (Superman) but over time, it became boring soap opera drama that was gradually losing steam.

Stargate: SG-1
In my opinion, for ten seasons, one of the best sci-fi TV shows based on a film that I've ever seen.

Stargate: Atlantis
The spin-off of Stargate: SG-1 was just as good. Stargate: Universe, I didn't like at all, on the other hand, it didn't seem so enticing to me, unlike Atlantis, I didn't make it past the first three episodes.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Asides from well portraying the three-year gap between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, it shows how Anakin became gradually disillusioned with the Jedi Order after being used by them, leading to him becoming Darth Vader. I admit I stopped watching after Darth Maul's return because at that point I started to find it more and more boring but I read about what happened next and Anakin's disillusion with the order was well done, after his apprentice Ahsoka had left the order, also being disillusioned with the Order. I have no interest in watching Rebels at all.

Supernatural
It is one of the most popular TV series ever and I do enjoy it but on one hand, I think it's gotten dragged out for far too long and some seasons are just not interesting but on the other hand, some have very compelling storylines with great villains but I lost energy sometimes after watching Season 13. Sometimes I wish it had ended with the cliffhanger in Season 5 but the fans wanted the show to continue until it got 15 seasons. Honestly, I still like the show but with how boring the storylines were sometimes in some seasons, it seems like the shows is getting dragged out for far too long.

Two and a Half Men
One of the best sitcoms ever. Pity Charlie Sheen got fired by 2011 but Ashton Kutcher was a good replacement. It was OK but in Season 10, it got boring and stereotypical. The addition of Amber Tamblyn in Season 11 was excellent but again, later it got boring and stereotypical and the series was dragged out for far too long. Pity Charlie declined returning back for the series finale.

Veronica Mars
Good teen detective TV series.

The Walking Dead
In Season 6 it went to hell and wasn't interesting to me anymore, so I stopped watching it after that.

Yu Yu Hakusho
Amusing anime with an interesting concept and storyline, even though it is underrated.

Cold Cases, Missing a Trace, CSI (NY, Las Vegas, Miami) and Bones
These shows are among the best crime TV series I have ever seen

There are also other TV shows that I haven't watched but would like to see because I have heard and read that they are interesting, such as Legion, Halt and Catch Fire, True Detective etc. but I have not found time to watch those and there may be other TV shows that I have liked but right now to me there are too many to think of.

I don't have any problem with the classic pairings in the comic books that are canon pairing or OTP, such as Peter Parker (Spider-Man) / Mary Jane, Bruce Wayne (Batman) / Selina Kyle (Catwoman), Remy LeBeau (Gambit) / Anna Marie (Rogue), Clark Kent (Superman) / Lois Lane, Scott Summers (Cyclops) / Jean Grey, Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) / Susan Storm (Invisible Woman) etc. but there are some pairings in TV show or film adaptations of comic books that I do not like due to how they are executed.

The pairings that I approve of in fandoms, either canon or those I would like to see, are the ones that I am most likely going to write in my stories. As for the pairings I disapprove of, unless it is a breakup or to show why do I think why would these not work or a humorous situation with them, I am not going to write those, ever.

And if I have mixed opinion on pairing, that means I would approve if it was handled differently but currently I don’t like the execution, concept or portrayal of the pairing. My opinions on pairings depend on the characters' dynamic, chemistry and how well they interact with each other and can relate to each other. So, I am most likely never going to write stories with pairings that I dislike and don’t approve of (which are listed below), unless it is a breakup or to show why it would not work out between the paired characters.

And I am NOT going to write incest or slash pairings that are not canon in any of my stories, certainly not in comic book fandoms (Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Arrowverse, Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC Extended Universe, Smallville etc.), ever. Save for some rare exceptions that I shall mention below later, most of these pairings are in my opinion total and complete bullshit and insult to the actual relationships in fandoms. I might write female slash but male slash or incest, NEVER ANYWHERE, nor am I going to read those.

Pairings in Charmed

Over the course of the show, the sisters were constantly struggling with their romantic lives. Of all sisters, Piper had the most stable romantic relationship with Leo, while the remaining sisters (save for Prue, who had been written off and killed off in Season 3, because of the actress' Shannen Doherty's issues with alcoholism and fallout with another actress, Alyssa Milano), eventually found their match and had short-lived romances until then. I will not mention all relationships because over the course of the show, they had various romantic interests, I will list only those that I think really mattered in the show. But I soured on Phoebe due to her being emotional and her constant need to get a baby.

Prue Halliwell / Andy Trudeau
Childhood friendship turned into deep love. Sad that Andy ultimately sacrificed himself to save her life and Prue blamed herself for it before Phoebe and Piper talked her out of it and cheered her up.

Piper Halliwell / Leo Wyatt
Forbidden love that became the heart of Charmed, with a lot of emotions and adventures, tragedies, losses and victories they've been through, it was the best pairing the show.

Paige Matthews / Henry Mitchell
A bit rushed but it worked. They did hit each others' nerves at first but they found themselves attracted to each other and while it surprised him a bit that magic was real, he accepted Paige for who she was and it became a true love. Paige helps innocents as Whitelighter and Henry is a parole officer, isn't it a good match, due to their need to help others?

Paige Matthews / Richard Montana
Rushed but wasn't that bad. But I didn't like this relationship because Richard later became corrupted by magic and abused his powers until he snapped out of it and they both broke up and Richard gave up on his magical powers.

Paige Matthews / Kyle Brody
Short but serious but it was ruined by Brody's obsession with Avatars. It felt a bit forced and sudden and I didn't like it.

Phoebe Halliwell / Cole Turner
This one is a little complicated and frankly, Cole was better as a villain, rather than anti-hero. Phoebe managed to bring out the human part of half-demon Belthazor, Cole Turner and his passion and love for Phoebe made him renounce his evil ways. After Cole became the Source of All Evil, Phoebe was corrupted to be Queen of the Underworld and became pregnant with their child by the time she realized that Cole had succumbed to the power of the Source. When she realized what Cole had become, Phoebe ultimately chose her sisters and vanquished Cole as the Source and the child disappeared.

Cole later returned back from the Demonic Wasteland, possessing numerous demonic powers, while not being a demon anymore. Cole sought to make amends with Phoebe but she treated him quite badly and mistrusted him, causing for him to go insane and his obsession with Phoebe, while it was obvious that she would never take him back, was his downfall. But even, when condemned to cosmic void between life and death as punishment for his sins, he loved Phoebe enough to convince Drake, a demon turned human and destined to die, to help Phoebe believe in love again.

He later sought redemption and helped Piper find reincarnated Prue and after seeing that he was sincere in making amends, Phoebe and Cole did reconcile.

Phoebe Halliwell / Drake dé Mon
That one wasn’t all that bad, for how short time was Drake around. Short-lived and a bit rushed due to Drake destined to die soon but passionate romance. Previously, Drake was a demon, turned into a human by a sorcerer, but condemned to die after a year living as a human. Despite the fact that it was all an elaborate plan set up by Cole to help Phoebe believe in love again, it was passionate as they fell in love with each other within two weeks before Drake died, as he was destined to.

Phoebe Halliwell / Coop
For her final love interest, I think it was too short, rushed and sudden to happen. Plus, he was sent by Elders to help Phoebe find love and there was in my opinion too little buildup. No. Not OK. I didn't like it.

Pairings in Buffyverse that I approve of

Buffy Summers / Spike
At first, mutual hatred but Spike later grew fond of Buffy and it later became a relationship based on lust and sex but Buffy's disgust over his inhumanity drove him away. Seeking to become the man she could love, Spike fought to earn back his soul and humanity and be the man Buffy could love and deserved. In Season 6, it was more about lust, rather than actual romance but in Season 7, their chemistry was fine and while it took a while, he regained her trust and respect and their relationship became slowly more and more passionate until she finally confessed her feelings to him at the final episode of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, when he was sacrificing his life to save her and her friends.

Willow Rosenberg / Tara McClay
One of the best relationships in the show and their chemistry was great. Tara encouraged Willow to come out and she was able to keep Willow in check, when she was succumbing deeper into temptation of abuse of her magical powers. However, what ticks me off is how tragical it was, when Tara was killed.

Angel / Cordelia Chase
Best friends and confidants to each other. Cordelia is Angel's friend-in-need and Angel is willing to go to extreme lengths to save her life, if he has to and they have good chemistry on-screen. I can see that happening if either of them had made a move on the other.

Angel / Darla
Despite their vampiric nature, it was a genuine love with a complicated history and relationship that lasted for centuries.

Angel / Nina Ash
Short but wasn't bad. Had a bit of Florence Nightingale vibe, in my opinion. Angel initially looked after her, when she struggled with the fact that she had become a werewolf and was finding a way to live with it and the attraction slowly grew between them. While reluctant at first, he eventually asked her out. It was cut short though, when Angel asked her to leave with her family, in order to protect her from the upcoming apocalypse.

There certainly was some attraction and had a potential to develop further but it was too short to find out.

Xander Harris / Cordelia Chase
Classic cute high school drama but luckily not too much drama with a lot of craziness to go around as they are there for each other to get through all the insane crap. It was nice and cute, whie it lasted.

Disliked pairings in Buffyverse

If I "disapprove" of the pairing, the verb says it all. If I "have a mixed opinion", that means that I would approve of it, if it had been handled differently than in the canon but currently I do not approve of it but would like to see a better handled, refined version of the relationship in fanfiction stories. I will not write stories with pairings I disapprove of, unless it is a breakup or to show why it would not work. If I have a mixed opinion about it, I would try a more improved and refined spin on the relationship in my stories.

I will not write stories with pairings I disapprove of, unless it is a breakup or to show why it would not work. If I have a mixed opinion about it, I would try to write a more improved and refined spin on the relationship in my stories.

Buffy Summers / Angel (Mixed opinion)
I was fine with it at first until Angel lost his soul and then regained it and later in Seasons 3-4 of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, he kept keeping his distance from Buffy and pushing her away and their chemistry then became weaker and weaker. No. Not OK at all.

I might consider writing stories with this pairing more refined but it is very unlikely.

Buffy Summers / Riley Finn (Disapprove)
Riley as a character wasn’t interesting, plus they may have been after the same goal, protecting people from monsters but they both used different methods and Buffy didn’t trust the Initiative’s (Riley’s superiors) questionable methods and Riley didn’t approve of Buffy’s relationships and friendships with supernatural beings and their chemistry was too weak. They did come around each other later but Riley had gotten married by then, ruining any chances at rekindling their romance but they were still on good terms.

This pairing had some potential but I think there was too much bad blood between them.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Buffy Summers / Faith Lehane (Disapprove)
I've seen this pairing in fanfiction stories and as I have mentioned before, I do not support non-canon homosexual slash pairings but honestly, I see some sexual subtext in their interactions but that does not mean I pair them. The concept of "opposites attract" does sound intriguing but there are very rare cases where I would support this.

Buffy and Faith are mirror reflections of each other. Buffy is more serious and responsible, whereas Faith is care-free, laid-back, impulsive and promiscuous and their lives are polar opposites, Buffy has always had loving parents and friends, whereas Faith has been always alone, with abusive parents, which made Faith quite jealous of Buffy at first before she started to treat her and respect her as an equal.

Although, later Faith matured and was willing to atone for her past sins and mistakes, looking for redemption, with her and Buffy moving past their differences and having a bit of a rocky friendship at best.

There is some sexual subtext there, I will admit but I do not ship them. This pairing will not be around in my stories.

Xander Harris / Faith Lehane (Disapprove)
It was more about sex, rather than actual romance. After he helped her in a fight, it ended up as a sexual relationship but relationships based on pure lust don’t last. Her resentment towards Buffy got the better of her and she tried to kill Xander and despite her trying to redeem herself later, she still didn’t treat Xander well.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Xander Harris / Anya Jenkins (Disapprove)
It was cute but to me it later turned into boring soap opera and their chemistry became more and more forced. I especially didn't like how Xander caught her and Spike making out, prompting Xander to furiously beat Spike up and almost kill him.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Willow Rosenberg / Kennedy (Disapprove)
It was forced and rushed and there was too little chemistry between these two. Plus, Kennedy wasn't really interesting.

This pairing will not be around in my stories.

Faith Lehane / Robin Wood (Disapprove)
It was short but I liked the faint tension between them and how they softened around each other. But, there wasn’t much chemistry between them and it felt a bit forced.

This pairing will not be around in my stories.

Wesley Wyndham-Pryce / Lilah Morgan (Disapprove)
Uninteresting relationship based on lust and sexual desires, due to Wesley being tricked into betraying Angel and kidnapping his son, Connor. Genuine feelings may have been shown later but to me, it felt forced.

This pairing will not be around in my stories.

Wesley Wyndham-Pryce / Fred Burkle (Disapprove)
Wesley was old enough to be Fred's father and Wesley's constant attraction to Fred felt forced to me and I didn't buy their chemistry.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Angel / Fred Burkle (Disapprove)
Nothing more than a young girl's crush. Luckily, Angel didn't take advantage of it and kept his relationship with Fred mainly friendly and professional and Fred later got over her crush towards Angel.

This pairing will not be around in my stories.

Charles Gunn / Fred Burkle (Disapprove)
There certainly was attraction but I didn't buy it for some reason, nor did I see much chemistry between them.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Connor / Cordelia Chase (Disapprove)
Cordelia was like a surrogate mother to Connor and it was disturbing and almost incestual. The concept of the pairing itself was stupid. What were the showrunners thinking?

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Pairings in Star Wars

Anakin Skywalker / Padme Amidala
In the films, it seemed like a childhood crush slowly turning into love and eventually dangerous obsession. And this obsession was one of the things that threw Anakin towards the Dark Side but in Clone Wars, it was more portrayed how much did they care about each other and how much was Anakin disillusioned with the Jedi Order, he was desperate and eventually became Darth Vader.

Luke Skywalker / Mara Jade
These two helped each other through a lot. Not bad. I'll admit that I don't know much about Star Wars Expanded Universe but I looked up and read some things about this pairing that made me understand it.

Han Solo / Leia Organa
At first, Leia wasn't impressed by this outlaw but eventually, they softened around each other.

Galen Marek (Starkiller) / Juno Eclipse
Mutual respect eventually turning into deep love.

Disliked Pairings in Star Wars

I will not write stories with pairings I disapprove of, unless it is a breakup or to show why it would not work. If I have a mixed opinion about it, I would try a more improved and refined spin on the relationship in my stories.

Kylo Ren / Rey (Disapprove)
Fan service ship and neither of these characters are enough interesting.

I won't lie, the idea of the pairing did cross my mind and I considered how would the ship look like but the concept of the pairing is too stupid for me to actually care about it. Kylo Ren seems like a big baby with daddy, or rather granddaddy issues and Rey seems like a Mary-Sue, with her being able to control the Force with what would take years of training and she was able to defeat Kylo Ren in lightsaber fight, despite her having no formal training whatsoever and I think it is very unlikely that Rey could redeem Kylo Ren. I think Rey is more of a feminism propaganda tool from Disney.

The idea of the pairing itself is freaking stupid and I think anyone, who ships them, doesn't have all their marbles.

This pairing will not be around in my stories because the concept is too stupid for me to actually care about it and I don’t support most fan service ships.

Continuum

Official synopsis (Copied and pasted from Wikipedia)
City Protective Services (CPS) law enforcement officer Kiera Cameron lives with her husband and son in 2077-era Vancouver under the corporatocratic and oligarchic dystopia of the North American Union and its Corporate Congress, a technologically advanced high-surveillance police state. When a group of self-proclaimed freedom fighters known as Liber8 escape execution by fleeing to the year 2012, Kiera is involuntarily transported with them. Joining with Detective Carlos Fonnegra of the Vancouver Police Department and enlisting the help of teen computer genius—and future corporate oligarch—Alec Sadler, Kiera works to track down and thwart Edouard Kagame and his followers in the present day while concealing her identity as a time-traveller from the future, and tries to find a way to return home to her family.

A lot of reviews have argued that Continuum advances a pro-corporate, anti-democracy viewpoint. It doesn't, but you could be forgiven for thinking that. Most American shows have a clear good guy (the protagonist) and a clear bad guy (the antagonists). This show, however, follows the Canadian tendency to operate in shades of grey. Continuum presents two opposing factions, and asks the viewer to make up their own mind whether they agree with the protagonist or the antagonists. I personally didn't mind the constant reminder of corporate control and “extremist freedom fighter stuff” and I think it is one of the best sci-fi time travel shows I have ever seen. I liked the concept, where Kiera fights for her future, even more to ensure a better life for her family and her constant struggle with living stranded in the present, away from her son and husband, with only a handful of friends she can lean onto, while not being able to return to her son and husband.

Later, she questions, whether she wants to really return to the future she is in, when she sees there is more grey area than black and white, seeing that the Global Corporate Congress she works for in the future, that consists of companies, that exist in the present, did amoral and questionable things, both in the past and the future, making her reconsider, whether she should fight for the people she always has, in the present (the past from her perspective). And she's not the only one, who later struggles with the perspective on the future and the cause they fight for, as the protagonists in the present, realizing, who they become in the future and Liber8, the extremists from the future, trying to conquer the present to control the future, find out, what impact do their actions have on the future, not making it the way they intended to, making them all reconsider their intentions and ideals and moral perspectives, questioning, which path is right, in order to create a better future.

I'm not speaking from my own interpretation but the official stance of the people behind the show. The "choose your side" mentality has been presented repeatedly in an explicit manner, for example, on the Continuum Facebook page, where one post asked, "Which side are you on? Team Kiera or Team Liber8?" I personally do not approve of Liber8’s extremist methods but understand their cause. Kiera seems more like a misguided protector at first before seeing the world more in shades of grey, making her question which future and which path to take, for her own and her family’s sake.

The show doesn't choose a side, but instead presents an interesting challenge to viewers which some won't be ready to meet:

- "The Freedom Fighters - Liber8 (antagonists) use brutal extremist methods to accomplish their goals, but their cause is just."
- "The protagonist character (Kiera) operates within the law, uses non-lethal force, does what she thinks is right, and tries to protect people... And yet she champions the cause of despots."
- "Do you believe in the righteous champion of despotism, or the brutal champions of freedom? ...Or do you side with neither?"

Pairings in Continuum

Over the course of the show, rather than romance, Kiera was more focused on returning back to her husband and son in the future in 2077, so she wasn't too interested in any love interests, when stranded in the present and there were just two potential love interests she had over the course of the show, and those were Brad and Kellog, putting aside her husband Greg, from the future. The other pairings I’m gonna mention, are those I've seen in fanfiction stories and I don't like any of them, save for Kiera/Carlos pairing.

What makes me sad about the show though, was that, while in the end, Kiera managed to ensure a better future for her husband and son, when she returned to her time, she couldn't interact with her son or husband, due to Kiera from the future she had created, already being there, leaving the main character only destined to watch their happiness from afar.

Even though the show is very pro-corporate and anti-democratic, I like the time travel concept and Kiera's constant emotional struggle due to missing her family in the future, while she is stranded in the present, separated from them.

Kiera Cameron / Greg Cameron
In 2077, they were both married and had a son, Sam. But, this relationship was a bit rocky, due to dystopial future and Greg did have an affair with Kiera's friend, making their chemistry a bit rocky, sometimes good, sometimes bad. While not perfect marriage, they both loved Sam.

Kiera Cameron / Alec Sadler
The concept of this is so stupid and I don’t know what are the fanfictions writers thinking to pair them in their stories. It gives me a creep of an adult woman dating a teenager, who in her time in the future, is an idol and a grandfather figure to her. In the future, Alec is destined to become a despotic corporate overlord and he’s a friend of her husband Greg and as a teenager, he's an innocent but very smart tech whiz and Kiera's futuristic equipment is based on his (present) ideas, so he often assists her, with Kiera, with her knowledge of the future, tries to set Alec on a better path, since he's an important figure in her time.

There is a lot of trust between them as he is linked to her tech, via his computer 24/7 and he helps her socialize in the present to avoid awkward situations and in return, she helps him set himself on a better path, than the one in the future. How the fanfiction writers think that these two could become a couple is beyond me.

Kiera Cameron / Matthew Kellog
While different from his criminal comrades and not pursuing the same goal in the present to change the future and trying to set himself a better life, ultimately, Kellog is in it for himself, as he also wants power and control but not in violent ways, unlike his comrades but through his knowledge of future and pursuit of wealth and power. Kiera trusts Kellog to a certain extent to give intel, while he builds himself up with money and reputation but she is also wary of Kellog's ego and narcissism and knows that Kellog helps only, if it benefits him somehow. She repeatedly turns him down as he constantly flirts with her, knowing exactly what kind of man Kellog is. But after a one particularly bad day, when she misses her family in the future, in a vulnerable state she sleeps with him but the following day, she gets herself straight and makes it absolutely clear to Kellog, that it was just a one-night stand in a desperate, vulnerable moment and nothing beyond that.

While there may be a faint attraction between them, Kiera is more loyal to her husband and son and knows better than to get that close to Kellog, unless she's emotionally vulnerable and I honestly didn't see any chemistry between them. Good that it didn't go anywhere beyond one fling in a vulnerable moment.

Kiera Cameron / Carlos Fonnegra
This one is a pairing that would have made a lot of sense in the show and their chemistry on-screen is great. A cop in the present, Carlos helps Kiera fit into local law enforcement and while he knows that she keeps lying to him, due to her being from the future and her knowledge of some cases that had already happened, from her perspective and her being able to solve most of them due to her experience and technology from the future, he still trusts her and respects her as a fellow law enforcement officer, partner and friend, even if she gets herself into socially awkward situations due to her lack of knowledge of trends, slangs and idioms in the present.

Carlos even gives Kiera a benefit of the doubt, when the Internal Affairs puts her under investigation, due to her unbelievable efficiency and when there was a mole in the department, who was not her, even when the facts are against her. Ultimately, he believes her, that she is from the future, when she almost dies at the hands of a serial killer and he first-handedly witnesses her use of her future tech and their trust then deepened, when she tells him everything. From that point, their partnership, trust and friendship deepens even more and even if she does some morally questionable things to protect the future and he doesn't like it, he still trusts her enough to ultimately let her do the right thing in the end.

Kiera Cameron / Jasmine Garza
I do not like homosexual pairings that are not canon but I can see the sexual subtext and some chemistry between them. On the other hand, like I said, "Opposites attract" are not my thing. Both are on the opposite sides but respect each other as a soldier and later, when forced to work together to survive, they develop a lot of trust between each other. Garza at first despises Kiera, as a cop, but respects her as a soldier. When Kiera saves her life, Garza at first doesn't seem to be too grateful, trying to kill her later but later, after knowing that in the future, her comrades' goals don't turn out the way they intended, Garza reconsiders many things and is more willing to trust Kiera, rather than trying to do things her way, in order to set things in the future right.

Kiera Cameron / Brad Tonkin
Honestly, it was quite short and was a bit ruined but I liked it but wasn't long enough to explore some chemistry between them. Kiera and Brad can relate to each other the most. While from alternate future and not from the one Kiera comes from, just like her, Brad is stranded in the present, missing his family that stayed in the future and he and Kiera could relate to each other the most. He has amnesia at first but Kiera helps him recover his memory, mainly because she is attracted to him, due to him being stranded in the present, separated from his family, just like her. Just like Kiera, he is trapped in the present and wants to get back to his family in the future, or at least ensure a better future for them, by protecting the present and preventing some catastrophies that impcf his future.

Plus, he feels deep guilt about killing Kiera in an alternate timeline, since at that time, he saw her just as an enemy soldier, deepening his relationship with her. When Brad's comrades from the future come to present, at first, Brad is on their side because he wants to save his family, straining his and Kiera's relationship, even more, when Brad (on instinct and in self-defense) kills one of Kiera's partners. When Brad realizes the intention of his people from the future, to invade and conquer the present, Brad turns to Kiera's side, becoming a double agent and saving the present and helping Kiera get to the future to her family. Bit ruined but wasn't bad but it was obvious it wouldn't last for long, due to Kiera wanting to return back to her husband and son in her time.

Favorite Characters in Marvel Comics

Steve Rogers (Captain America), Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier), Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), Clint Barton (Hawkeye), Bruce Banner (Hulk), Peter Parker (Spider-Man), Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman), Stephen Strange (Doctor Strange), Matt Murdock (Daredevil), Thanos, Elektra Natchios, Luke Cage, Danny Rand (Iron Fist), Frank Castle (Punisher), Peter Quill (Star-Lord), Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Thor, Tony Stark (Iron Man), Logan (Wolverine), Charles Xavier, Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto), Jean Grey, Kitty Pryde, Remy LeBeau (Gambit), Wade Wilson (Deadpool) Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch), Rogue, Ant-Man (Hank Pym and Scott Lang), Flash Thompson (Agent Venom, until he died in Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 #800)

In Marvel Comics, there is no pairing about which I have any complaints, I like all the classic pairings in Marvel, except for Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) / Vision, since I find it weird that someone as powerful as Wanda is romantically involved with an android like Vision and she also used her magic to give birth to twin boys. This is a messed up pairing, in my opinion.

Steve Rogers (Captain America) / Sharon Carter
When Steve woke up, Sharon, as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. was supposed to help him adapt to the new world after being frozen for decades and eventually, the relationship grew into love as they worked together.

Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier) / Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow)
Both were forced to become killers on behalf of an organization with dark intentions and are now on path to redemption and can relate to each other better than anyone else.

Clint Barton (Hawkeye) / Bobbi Morse (Mockingbird)
They fell in love with each other, while on hero business and later got married. But, then they divorced, when Bobbi tried to kill a villain called Phanton Rider, because she thought he had it coming, although it may not have been necessary, while in Clint's eyes, Avengers do not kill. This event led to a fallout and eventual divorce between them. Even though they are divorced, they still find their way to each other but their different perspectives on the world ruins any chances at rekindling their romantic relationship.

Matt Murdock (Daredevil) / Elektra Natchios
Tragic relationship. Friendship that eventually turned into love, until Matt as Daredevil was framed for the murder of her father, causing for her to temporarily turn on him. Eventually, they reconciled but she was corrupted by an evil organization, the Hand, and became Matt's enemy until her death and resurrection and she and Matt have been in an on-and-off relationship since then but are mostly on good terms currently.

Matt Murdock (Daredevil) / Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow)
At first, they dated together as civilians but eventually developed feelings for each other and became partners in the hero business. However, this relationship fell apart, when her memory was shattered by a villain before it was restored and by the time she recovered her memory, Matt had begun a relationship with another woman, making her realize that Matt will eventually think of her only in platonic terms.

Matt Murdock (Daredevil) / Karen Page
I will admit that I am as mixed on this one as on the pairing in the show. I think the concept was fine but it was handled badly because, in my opinion, Karen could have been an OK character but she was mishandled in comic books. Karen did have some of a crush on Matt and he later reciprocated his own feelings towards her as well but after finding out he was Daredevil and him retaking his mask to fight crime, instead of spending time with her, it sent her on a downward spiral as a porn actress and heroin addiction and leaking Daredevil's secret identity to a criminal. But Matt fought back and later helped Karen clean up her act and get herself straight and she helped Matt to build himself back up and they later eventually reconciled until she was killed by Bullseye. I liked this pairing at first until it went to hell, then I was more mixed about this. I wondered whether they would have gotten back together, had she not died, which makes me sad.

Peter Parker (Spider-Man) / Gwen Stacy
Good pairing until her death.

Peter Parker (Spider-Man) / Mary Jane Watson
OTP of Spider-Man. They have been through so many tragic things, yet still stay together, side by side. However, currently, they are more on friendly terms, due to the mess they've been through together as Mary Jane has had enough of it.

Peter Parker (Spider-Man) / Felicia Hardy (Black Cat)
Pretty much Bruce Wayne (Batman) / Selina Kyle (Catwoman) of Marvel Comics. Felicia is a thief and engages in criminal activities, often prompting Peter to chase her. However, her “bad luck jinx” does not make it easy for Peter. However, after a while they grow feelings for each other that eventually grow into love, as it becomes an “on-and-off” relationship. But, ultimately, Peter chooses Mary Jane over Felicia, yet they are still on more or less good terms.

Luke Cage / Jessica Jones
They have been through a lot and stand by each other's side and care about their daughter and they try to have positive influence on each other. Can you say anything bad about them?

Scott Summers (Cyclops) / Jean Grey
Classic pairing of X-Men. But it often gets ruined because one of them cannot control their powers, mostly Jean, who succumbs to her Dark Phoenix persona.

Logan (Wolverine) / Jean Grey
There certainly is a lot of attraction between them but it was ruined, when Jean was taken over by Dark Phoenix and her heart always struggles between choosing between Logan and Scott, plus there's the fact that Logan had to watch her die and come back from the dead multiple times due to her Phoenix powers.

Remy LeBeau (Gambit) / Anne Marie (Rogue)
Gambit's constant flirting is amusing. He and Rogue have evenly matched sarcastic sense of humor and he's not afraid of her power-absorbing abilities, lots of history between them with a lot of emotional baggage they carry for each other.

There are more pairings in Marvel Comics that I like but I am not gonna list them all down, since there are too many to think of.

Favorite Characters in X-Men film series

James "Logan" Howlett (Wolverine), Wade Wilson (Deadpool), Jean Grey (Phoenix), Charles Xavier, Erik Lehnsherr (Magneto), Peter Maximoff (Quicksilver), Raven Darkholme (Mystique)

Pairings in X-Men film series

I haven't minded any of the pairings in the film series that were canon so far.

Logan / Jean Grey
There was a lot of attraction between them but it ended tragically, when Logan was forced to kill her, plus she struggled with choosing between Logan and Scott.

Logan / Kayla Silverfox
Despite the fact that it was all a ruse at first, Kayla did fall in love with Logan and all she did, was to protect her own sister. She even felt deep shame, guilt and remorse over using and seducing Logan and her last moments of life were spent protecting Logan from being hurt. It's sad and tragic that Logan then lost his memories of her and there was no hint that he ever recovered them in later installments of the film series, save for maybe a brief, faint flashback in The Wolverine. While X-Men Origins: Wolverine was a complete disaster as a film, this relationship, despite its tragic ending, was in my opinion one of the very few good things in the film.

Logan / Mariko Yashida
Mariko was just a one-time deal in The Wolverine but she found herself greatly attracted to him in the film, helping him struggle with his inner demons and make peace with him being haunted with guilt over killing Jean. This pairing had a potential and their chemistry was fine but Logan decided to keep his distance from her, due to his dangerous life.

Scott Summers / Jean Grey
Lot of history between them, turning into deep love with a tragic ending, due to Jean's Dark Phoenix persona.

Charles Xavier / Moira MacTaggert
Good dynamic and chemistry between them and they developed a lot of trust between each other. And despite the fact that Xavier later erased her memories about him, to protect everyone, her attraction to him didn't diminish and he gave her her memories back as they rekindled their relationship.

Raven Darkholme / Hank McCoy
Both of them struggled with their mutant side and wanted to blend in with normal people. There was a lot of attraction and I think there was good chemistry between them and despite the fact that they were later on the opposite sides, they still respected each other and later made amends in X-Men: Apocalypse. I liked them in X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Apocalypse.

Raven Darkholme / Erik Lehnsherr
This creeped me out in the first three films. But, in X-Men: First Class, he helped her with her struggle with how to blend in with society. And Erik did admit that their relationship was later intimate at one point in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Not a fan of the pairing but I am not complaining either, since I can see the attraction, despite how creepy it is a bit.

Bobby Drake / Rogue
There was some attraction between them and he's one of the few people, who was not afraid of her powers that might harm him. And he would do anything to protect her. But I rooted for Bobby / Kitty more than Bobby / Rogue, since I just didn't feel the romantic vibe between Bobby and Rogue and their chemistry was weak. I have nothing against Bobby / Rogue but the chemistry and attraction between Bobby and Kitty seemed stronger.

Bobby Drake / Kitty Pryde
Their chemistry was stronger than Bobby /Rogue and I honestly rooted for this one more. I certainly liked the chemistry they had in X-Men: The Last Stand.

Wade Wilson / Vanessa
Crazy but hilarious and sexy. That's all I'm gonna say about this pairing.

Favorite Characters in Marvel Cinematic Universe (films and TV shows)

Steve Rogers (Captain America), Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier), Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), Bruce Banner (The Hulk), T'Challa (Black Panther), Clint Barton (Hawkeye), Peter Parker (Spider-Man), James "Rhodey" Rhodes (War Machine), Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch), Stephen Strange (Doctor Strange), Matt Murdock (Daredevil), Elektra Natchios, Luke Cage, Danny Rand (Iron Fist), Colleen Wing, Frank Castle (The Punisher), Peter Quill (Star-Lord), Rocket Raccoon, Drax, Groot, Gamora, Nebula, Thanos, Scott Lang (Ant-Man), Hope Van Dyne (Wasp), John McIver (Bushmaster), Hank Pym, Phil Coulson, Nick Fury, Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons, Bobbi Morse (Mockingbird), Lance Hunter, Daisy "Skye" Johnson (Quake), Lincoln Campbell, Robbie Reyes (Ghost Rider), Tony Stark (Iron Man) - I used to like him until Captain America: Civil War but after Avengers: Endgame, he's back to being among my favorite characters. I just wish he had been called out on his mistakes and actually faced the consequences or at least taken responsibility for them.

Disliked Characters in Marvel Cinematic Universe (films and TV shows)

I don’t hate any characters by the literal meaning, I more like hate what the writers did to them. I like most of the characters in MCU and while some characters, such as Tony Stark regarding the Avengers and Sokovian Accords and Foggy Nelson and Karen Page regarding Matt being Daredevil can tick me off, I honestly can understand their attitude. I don't dislike them to the core but I have mixed feelings about them.

Foggy Nelson
Foggy used to be Matt's best friend in Daredevil but after he found out Matt's secret, he became quite an asshole towards him. But, in Daredevil Season 3, he tried to make amends with Matt after realizing how much of a jerk he had been towards him, so he got more on my good side.

Karen Page
First of all, I think that Deborah Ann Woll is a fine actress and I have nothing against her but her character was handled quite badly in Daredevil, both comic books and the show. I don't blame Karen that much about how she treated Matt and how much of a bitch she was to him in Defenders after he had revealed his secret to her about being Daredevil. This was mainly caused because of when Foggy found out Matt's secret, this caused a strain on his and Matt's friendship and Karen noticed the tension between them and neither of them had given her a proper explanation, which caused a strain on her own relationship with both of them. I'm not saying Matt was to blame, I think this was more Foggy's fault but since neither of them had given Karen any explanation and then at the end of Daredevil Season 2 Matt revealed his secret to her, she treated him quite badly, since at that point she had had too much on her plate already and Matt's confession was Karen's breaking point.

I don't dislike Karen as a character, I dislike how she was handled in MCU and in comic books. I actually think she is a fine character but she has been treated badly. She had a lot of bad on her plate, even before Daredevil Season 1, due to her being responsible for her brother's death in a car accident, while she was drunk because she was young kid back then, so she can get quite emotional due to her guilt complex and Matt telling her his secret about being Daredevil was the last straw but she tried to make amends with him and showed remorse about how she had treated him later in Daredevil Season 3, so I softened around her and I liked the relationship she had with Frank Castle in The Punisher, the need to help him.

Trish Walker
I used to like Trish actually but after that mess that happened in Jessica Jones Season 2, she became quite intolerable due to her drug addict superhero quest and when she killed Jessica's mother Alisa, that strained their friendship quite a lot and in Season 3, despite that Trish and Jessica tried really hard to reconcile, it all went to hell. All I can say is that Trish made in Season 2-3 of Jessica Jones a huge mess.

Preferred Pairings (canon pairings I approve of and potential pairings I would like to see) in Marvel Cinematic Universe (films and TV shows)

Tony Stark / Pepper Potts
Well, they do look cute together and they have this classic "romantic comedy couple" kind of vibe. Honestly, I'm surprised she is able to be as patient with Tony as she was in the films and Tony seems to be trying to be a better man but his self-destructive behavior and focus on Avengers business, like for example in Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3, often pushes her away.

There are some things that I don't like about Tony. Tony in Captain America: Civil War and in Spider-Man: Homecoming was a total jerk and I'm not sure if Pepper would still be at Tony's side despite all that crap he has done and she has repeatedly shown that she cannot be anywhere near Tony, either due to his self-destructive behavior or because of anything that somehow involves the Avengers business. However, Pepper does bring out the better part of Tony and he tries to mature and be better because of her. This pairing has its good days and bad days and while I like it, I wonder why hasn't Pepper called Tony out on his shenanigans yet. I might write stories with this pairing handled better but also, I will write stories in which Pepper calls Tony out on his crap. However, while I had mixed opinion on it throughout the course of Marvel Cinematic Universe, Avengers: Endgame won me over.

Tony Stark / Maya Hansen
Despite being a one-night stand and her making a deal with the devil, Aldrich Killian, Tony was good influence on her as she had a change of heart and tried to save Tony, which cost her her life.

I could see them make it work, if she had not died.

Steve Rogers / Peggy Carter
At first, Steve didn't give her much if an impression as he seemed to be a naive kid but later, they grew to respect and trust each other and eventually it became something more, until Steve disappeared and Peggy had to move on and eventually die of aging but eventually they got their happy ending in Avengers: Endgame. However, the fact that he stayed with her in the past to marry her and live a happy life, does not seem like something Steve would do, since he would be creating an alternate timeline, in which he may have done nothing but sit around, living a normal life, while other threats were popping up and Peggy had to work in the meantime in SSR and later S.H.I.E.L.D. to combat various threats and he also may have possibly erased any children and grandchildren Peggy could have had and abandoning the family he had with the Avengers, Tony, Natasha, Sam, Clint, Wanda, Bucky and so on.

Steve Rogers / Sharon Carter (Mixed opinion)
They are a pairing in comic books and the vibe between them in MCU seemed fine. I could see them make it work. It is also a good pairing in comics. It's a pity he eventually chose Peggy. However, the fact that they decided to start a relationship at Peggy's wake in Captain America: Civil War makes it hard for me to root for it and their chemistry was not explored much.

Steve Rogers / Natasha Romanoff
Platonic relationship between them and they interact with each other more like very close friends. Under any other circumstances, I can see them make it work.

Plus, Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson have been long-time friends in real life since they were teenagers, so in every movie, where they play together, they have good dynamic and chemistry.

Bucky Barnes / Natasha Romanoff
Well, in comic books, they were in a relationship and I would be genuinely curious to see that happen in MCU. As mentioned by Stand with Ward and Queen, they are basically Oliver Queen / Sara Lance of MCU. Both were forced to become killers on behalf of an organization that had evil intentions and both are on path on redemption.

Bucky Barnes / Wanda Maximoff
Not exactly a supporter of this ship but I can see why people would want to pair them and I can see it work, depending on the writing and if Wanda was a little older. Both were used by Hydra as weapon and are now on a path to redemption. Concept could be interesting, depending on the writing.

Clint Barton / Natasha Romanoff
They also seem to be close friends and it was mentioned that at one point, Clint was assigned to kill her but instead, he spared her and recruited her into S.H.I.E.L.D. There was an implication in The Avengers that there may have been something more between them but then, Clint is married and has children in MCU.

I would be curious to see how could this pairing become more and they have good dynamic together.

Clint Barton / Laura Barton
I honestly wasn't sure about this at first, with Clint having suddenly a family, wife and kids, original characters created exclusively for MCU but Avengers: Endgame won me over, as it showed how much Clint's family is a part of him as a character.

Scott Lang / Hope van Dyne
Good dynamic and chemistry between these two, especially in Ant-Man and the Wasp, despite the fact that Scott sometimes gets on her nerves, since he can be a reckless idiot and has some very dumb ideas in mind that tick Hope and Hank off.

This has a bit of a romantic comedy vibe.

Stephen Strange / Christine Palmer
OK, at first Stephen treated Christine like crap but after his hands were injured, he found humility and tried to make amends with her and their chemistry was fine. I would like to see this reformed Stephen Strange to get together with Christine.

Bruce Banner / Betty Ross
Lot of history between the two of them and clearly, they still care about each other, yet they did bring her father back in Captain America: Civil War but Betty hasn't shown up since The Incredible Hulk and they tried to force Bruce / Natasha, which was just out of the sudden and forced.

Peter Parker / Michelle Jones
Their chemistry and dynamic in Spider-Man: Far From Home was decently done, I have no complaints about it other than that I'm a little disappointed that it's not classic Mary Jane "MJ" Watson from comic books but this pairing works well.

Leo Fitz / Jemma Simmons
Two lab geeks, who have known each other for a long time and this pairing has become the heart of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Their chemistry and dynamic is among the best in comic book TV shows. They're like geeky versions of Oliver / Sara of Arrow in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. without the emotional baggage and suffering.

Matt Murdock / Elektra Natchios
Elektra was an assassin trained since childhood and she grew fond of Matt. BUT, she kidnapped the man responsible for the death of Matt's father and tried to coerce Matt into killing him and Matt did manage to beat him up. Yet, even after many years later, when Matt had already turned his back on her due to her unstable nature, he still had feelings for her, even when she became a deadly weapon in the hands of an evil group of ninja assassins. To me, the whole relationship had Oliver / Helena and Oliver / Sara vibe from Arrow that goes to extreme.

They have different viewpoints on the world but still care about each other, despite their disagreements, they have good dynamic BUT Elektra goes to much greater and more extreme lengths than Matt. She is more ruthless and takes more drastic and extreme measures, while Matt shows restraint and has sense of morality and limits he would never cross, not until under extreme pressure. And Elektra is a woman, who would push Matt to extreme measures. This pairing frankly creeps me out due to how extreme and tragic this pairing is but I think Elektra is a viable romantic option for Matt.

Jessica Jones / Luke Cage
In comics, they were married but here it seemed a little rushed and also there's the problem with the fact that Jessica, while under influence of mind-controlling psychopath, killed Luke's wife.

I like them in comic books but in MCU it just doesn't sit with me for some reason, mainly due to the circumstances of the relationship in MCU, although there is good dynamic and chemistry between them. If it had been handled differently in the show, I'd be OK with it but can't say I'm complaining about it either.

Jessica Jones / Oscar Arocho
At first Oscar was quite an ass to Jessica due to his mistrust of super-powered people but after she saved his son Vido, they were building a certain level of respect towards each other and were willing to help each other, when they needed it.

I think this relationship had a good potential.

Luke Cage / Misty Knight
An ex-con on path for redemption and a hard-ass detective with strong sense of justice. As much as she was distrustful of Luke due to his powers, she gradually came to respect him on some level and showed that she was willing to work with him and trust him. They have good dynamic and chemistry and are close friends and were a one-night stand. Although, given Luke's disillusionment and change in Luke Cage Season 2, who knows if they ever get back together, with Luke becoming a crime lord of Harlem.

Well, the only thing I don't like about this pairing is how much she disliked him at first due to his powers.

Luke Cage / Claire Temple
Claire saved his life and she was willing to help him in his quest to make his neighbourhood Harlem a better place. During that time, they got to know each other much better and she saved his life and there was good chemistry between them.

Unfortunately, she was later unable to put up with Luke so focused on vigilante business and Luke being angry at his father and her failed attempts at making Luke make amends with him ended up in break up. In this case, I didn’t blame her.

Danny Rand / Colleen Wing
Danny grew up training in K'un-L'un, mystical lost city that exists in different dimension and became the Iron Fist, sworn enemy of the Hand, a criminal ninja organization in pursuit of immortality responsible for countless calamities throughout millenias and Colleen grew up among the Hand. Not knowing who the other really was, they grew to trust and respect each other and when Danny found out her allegiance to the Hand, she naively tried to convince him that they were not the enemy, while Danny turned his back on her. However, the Hand then betrayed her and Danny saved her life and they grew to respect each other once more.

This was a good pairing and their chemistry was great but Danny’s unresolved issues with his best friend from K’un-L’un and inner struggle with the duty of the Iron Fist sadly lead into breakup, even though they still treat each other as equal partners.

Clint Barton / Bobbi Morse
Well, I would like to see this happen, since they are pairing in comic books but Bobbi was in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. instead of the films, with her being Hunter's love interest AND in MCU Clint is married and has children. I have no problem with Hunter either as a character or being Bobbi's ex and rekindling their relationship or Clint already having a family (wife and three children) but Clint / Bobbi would have been a good foundation for Hawkeye solo film in MCU, since Hawkeye / Mockingbird is among the classic pairings in Marvel Comics.

Lance Hunter / Bobbi Morse
OK, despite the fact that Hunter can often be an ass and gets on everyone’s nerves with his antics and shenanigans, especially Bobbi, he is a loyal friend and Bobbi isn’t completely honest with him sometimes because of her undercover work, they are attracted a lot to each other, plus, he and Bobbi have good dynamic in the show and despite the fact that they hit each others' nerves sometimes, they care about each other too and there is a lot of passion and good chemistry there.

Daisy Johnson (Skye) / Robbie Reyes
I liked their interactions in Season 4 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and there was a certain level of attraction and some romantic or friendship subtext was there, well, it depends on the point of view. As the Ghost Rider, Robbie was on a path for revenge for how the gangsters, as a revenge on his father, had left him and his younger brother Gabe for dead and crippled the latter and the Ghost Rider gave him his powers to avenge what was done to his family. Daisy attempted to set Robbie straight because he had been consumed and blinded by revenge and anger and Robbie had enough restraint and a certain code to hold back, when fighting her and regard innocent lives on his quest for revenge and Daisy later helped him see past his desire for revenge to care more for Gabe.

The concept did intrigue me and I think it had potential, had either of them shown greater level of affection for the other but they were more on friendly terms. I don't know if I'd ever write stories with this pairing but I think it had potential if it was developed well. I might consider writing stories with this pairing but it is very unlikely.

Disliked Pairings in Marvel Cinematic Universe (films and TV shows)

If I "disapprove" of the pairing, the verb says it all. If I "have a mixed opinion", that means that I would approve of it, if it had been handled differently than in the canon but currently I do not approve of it but would like to see a better handled, refined version of the relationship in fanfiction stories. I'm not gonna write stories with pairings I disapprove of, unless it is a breakup or to show why it would not work. If I have a mixed opinion about it, I would try a more improved and refined spin on the relationship in my stories.

I will not write stories with pairings I disapprove of, unless it is a breakup or to show why it would not work. If I have a mixed opinion about it, I would try to write a more improved and refined spin on the relationship in my stories.

And a note to add, I think that doing non-canon slash homosexual pairings in Marvel Cinematic Universe, such as Steve / Bucky or Steve / Tony is complete and total bullshit and I wonder what are people, who are writing these pairings, smoking, since I find these gay/lesbian/slash/incest pairings that are not canon completely insulting and disgusting, so don't expect me to write these or read them, ever. I certainly am not going to read these in Marvel Cinematic Universe and I wonder whether people that write these fics with slash or incest pairings, stop to think about how disgusting do these pairings look. People that write or read such pairings in Marvel Cinematic Universe in fanfiction are frankly in my opinion disrespectful and insulting towards the characters and the fans of Marvel Cinematic Universe and I have to wonder at whether they are mentally ill, since I find any non-canon slash (gay and lesbian) or incest pairings in any comic book fandom disgusting, offending and disrespectful, both towards the fans and characters.
Remember: I am never going to read or write any story with non-canon slash or incest pairings in Marvel Cinematic Universe section of fanfiction websites, since I find these stories offending, disgusting and disrespectful towards the characters and I think that anyone who writes stories with such pairings, is a sick, disgusting person that has no respect towards the characters and is out of their mind and needs professional help and has no respect towards the comic books. I hate non-canon slash and non-canon incest pairings in Marvel Cinematic Universe part or any comic book section of fanfiction.

Bruce Banner / Natasha Romanoff (Disapprove)
Out of nowhere and sudden, rushed and forced, no chemistry between them... just... not OK at all. Instead of bringing Betty back, they decided to randomly pair Bruce with Nat, when they have very little to nothing in common. I wish they'd stop shoving this relationship down our throats, since this pairing makes no sense at all and they have no chemistry as a couple.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, since I think it's complete bullshit.

Peter Quill / Gamora (Disapprove)
OK, Peter would like to be with Gamora and it seems forced, since Gamora would NEVER get together with such a whacko like Peter. I like them both as characters in general but it's unlikely that such a ladies man like him and a badass assassin, who grew up as adopted daughter of one of the most ruthless and powerful beings in the galaxy would ever get together. His constant vain flirting was funny at first but then it became more and more annoying and pathetic to me, rather than amusing, when it’s obvious Gamora would never fall for his antics.

They have good dynamic and are close friends but I don't see this becoming anything more than that, mainly because Peter often hits Gamora's nerves with his childish personality, while Gamora is very hardened and serious and there is no romantic chemistry between them. They're better off as friends rather than lovers. The constant banter and Peter's vain flirting with Gamora is amusing in comic books but in the films it's more like pathetic.

This pairing will not be around in my stories.

Wanda Maximoff / Vision (Disapprove)
I wonder what the hell were the comic book writers thinking about this pairing in the first place. I don't approve of the pairing either in the comic books or in the films, since I think this pairing is messed up. Vision completely lacks understanding of human feelings and the way he treats Wanda is creepy. Like "stalker creepy". In comic books there may be feelings between them but it just creeps me out that someone as powerful as Wanda and a robot like Vision would actually fall in love and they have no chemistry in the films at all.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Frank Castle / Karen Page (Disapprove)
I don't support this ship, since it's pure fan service but I can see why some people would want that to happen. There is something about Karen being attracted to dangerous men and she attracts dangerous trouble like honey bees, often putting herself at risk. She feels the need to help Frank after his family had been killed in crossfire, despite Frank's actions as Punisher and slaughtering criminals.

She gets often sucked into Frank's orbit and it's up to him to save her from danger and when he needs help, he turns to her and asks her for help but also warns her to keep her distance and be careful and she is still willing to help him and does what she can to aid him, despite the trouble she had already gotten into just by being near him, causing for Frank to protect her from danger as much as he can. I like the protective bond they have between each other.

Unlikely pairing to happen but I can see why some people would like that as I see the faint attraction between them and the romantic subtext. It certainly has that kind of potential but I don’t see it happening and I think it would fan service to pair them both and I don’t see it working out in long-term, since Frank would rather keep his distance and be only as close to Karen as he believes is appropriate, in order to protect her from the danger he faces. I don't support fan service pairings that I don't believe can work. I will not write this pairing in my stories, the interactions between them in my stories are most likely gonna be friendly-based relationship at best.

This pairing will not be around in my stories.

Daisy Johnson (Skye) / Grant Ward (Disapprove)
They had good dynamic in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Season 1 but not so good chemistry, plus Ward later turned out to be a psychopath, effectively ruining the relationship he and Skye had and Daisy, well, let's just say it's not Daisy from AoS Season 1 anymore and it's weird that Ward was still in some way attracted to her, despite how much she hated him after he showed his true colors.

Just what exactly he saw in her? She didn't seem like his type either and I didn’t like the pairing from the start mainly because Skye was half Ward’s age, it was a bit creepy, like “teacher/young student in romantic relationship” creepy and I wonder how was Ward still attracted to her after revealing himself to be a psychopath and Skye hating him to the core. Frankly, this pairing was pointless right from the start.

This pairing will not be around in my stories.

Daisy Johnson (Skye) / Lincoln Campbell (Mixed opinion)
Not opposed to the concept but the execution of the pairing and the circumstances. I honestly have no problem with this pairing but I can see why some people would. Lincoln helped Daisy through the transition of from human to Inhuman and taught her to make peace with it. Despite how it went down with her being responsible for the fallout with Lincoln and his fellow Inhumans, they still cared about each other and Lincoln even willingly sacrificed himself to spare Daisy's life. My only complaint is that, while it seemed passionate, it was very rushed and there are moments when they were better off as friends, rather than lovers and it has been pointed out that it seemed like one of those rebound couples and looking back, I can’t say I disagree.

Their chemistry was OK, in my opinion but not strong enough at some moments. I might consider writing stories with this pairing but it is very unlikely.

Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie / Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez (Mixed opinion)
It felt a little forced and it was quite rushed with too little buildup. They did seem to care about each other on some level but the way their relationship developed to the point it did in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. seemed rushed. While they like teasing each other and Yo-Yo helped him through his grief about losing his daughter and Mack helped Yo-Yo when her arms were cut off, the way they developed their feelings towards each other at that point seemed too fast.

They have good dynamic as a team and their bond of friendship is strong but I see little to no chemistry between them. I can see the friendship bond and maybe the subtext but not the romantic attraction as it is supposed to. Maybe it's just how I myself see it.

I might consider writing stories with this pairing but it is very unlikely.

Thor Odinson / Jane Foster (Mixed opinion)
In comic books, it's great pairing but in MCU it was quite mishandled. Jane proved to be a good influence on Thor as spending time with her taught him compassion and humility and I liked the chemistry between Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman in the first film, Thor. However, she didn't treat him too well in Thor: The Dark World, mainly because she believed that he had ditched her and in the second film their chemistry had diminished a lot since Thor and she did not treat Thor well, which soured my opinion on the pairing.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Matt Murdock / Claire Temple (Disapprove)
This was a forced pairing and they have no chemistry as a couple. Whenever Matt needs help, Claire comes. She wishes her life had been normal but she cannot turn her back on someone in danger either. She's a loyal friend and ally to Matt, when it matters. However, Claire often disapproves of Matt's actions as Daredevil and treats him badly for that but despite all that, she will help him if he needs it. This seemed like a forced pairing and I don’t like their “first kiss” scene.

Claire often whines about her life being normal before she had met Matt and scolds him for being Daredevil that it’s gonna get him killed but she can understand that the city needs vigilantes like him. I honestly don’t think this could ever work out. What were the writers thinking? It was forced and Claire treated Matt badly, where Daredevil was concerned.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Matt Murdock / Karen Page (Mixed opinion)
The concept could be interesting under different circumstances but in the show, I don't see it working out. First of all, Karen was Matt's love interest in the comic books (I have a mixed opinion on it, though, as much as on the Matt / Karen pairing in the show) but in Daredevil TV series, it seemed more like they were to each other like brother and sister and close friends, if we add Matt's best friend Foggy, perfect BFF relationship confirmed. Honestly, the pairing was forced and rushed. Their first kiss definitely was rushed and their on-screen chemistry was weak at best. Matt seems to want to protect Karen, since she's a victim, acting like a “dutiful big protective brother” but I just don't see it becoming anything more. They're good as friends but as lovers it wouldn't work out.

Plus, once Matt revealed to her his secret, she didn't take it well, nor was she treating him much better after that but still had some respect towards him, which was mainly due to the strained friendship between Matt and Foggy which Karen noticed and neither of them had given her a good explanation, so her later negative attitude towards Matt might be because of the fact that he kept his secret identity a secret from her and that neither Matt or Foggy gave her a proper explanation of their strained friendship, when Foggy had discovered Matt’s secret, since both of them lied to her. I didn’t like how she was a bitch towards Matt but I could understand why. But later, she did show remorse over how she had treated him and wanted to make amends with him.

If it had been handled differently, I wouldn't have any problem with that but I just don't see the chemistry between them in the show, it's more like brother/sister relationship. Under any other circumstances, I might ship them. I am mixed on this pairing both in MCU and in comic books. While she and Matt did reconcile later and were later on more friendly terms, I don't see any romance happening between them. Too much emotional baggage and history.

I might consider writing stories with this pairing but it will most likely be a short-time deal since they're better off as friends that reconciled, rather than lovers.

Trish Walker / Will Simpson (Mixed opinion)
Simpson tried to kill Trish while under the influence of a mind-controlling psychopath and when he tried to make amends, they started a relationship. It was OK until it turned out that Simpson was addicted to strength-enhancing drugs to which Trish was addicted later and then it all went to hell.

At first I wasn't sure about it but didn't complain too much until the revelation with the drugs that Simpson had been taking, then it was obvious that it was gonna be a doomed romance.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Trish Walker / Malcolm DuCasse (Disapprove)
Unnecessary subplot of Season 2 of Jessica Jones, which was one of the main negatives of the second season and it ruined both characters, plus they have no chemistry as a couple. Trish's junkie superhero quest in Season 2 was so stupid and she allowed Malcolm follow her like a lapdog. As friends, they were OK but as soon as Trish tried to follow Jessica in her footsteps as a vigilante, this became a romance based primarily on lust and addiction and those almost never end well. Malcolm was able to clean up his act and tried to set Trish straight but it didn't end well.

This pairing was stupid right from the start, so this pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Phil Coulson / Melinda May (Disapprove)
It felt sudden and forced at the end of Season 5 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Yes, there's a long history between both of them but overall, sometimes May does not have good opinion of Coulson but is respectful enough to keep her thoughts to herself and focuses on the mission and there had been no buildup to it and the actors have no chemistry as a couple at all.

While she truly cares about Coulson and wants to help him, no matter what, sometimes she treats him like crap. Her LMD (Life Model Decoy) itself confirmed that May had some feelings towards Coulson but there is no chemistry there.

I might consider writing stories with this pairing but it is very unlikely.

Tony Stark: Hero or villain?

Whem I was a kid, I admired Tony right from the first Iron Man film. However, really looking at Tony's character throughout the MCU, I have to wonder if Tony can be considered a hero or a villain, since the word "villain" seems to fit him more right from the second Iron Man film, Iron Man 2. But after Avengers: Endgame, I think Tony has redeemed himself, however, there are still issues with him that need to be addressed.

Iron Man 2: What made the first film so great was Tony's character arc of a weapons dealer and irresponsible CEO who realized he did more harm that good turning his company around and deciding to undo all the harm he had done. But the second film pretty much undoes all the character he has in the first film. Tony is just portrayed as an arrogant jackass all throughout the film. He's constantly bragging about his achievements and his decision to keep the Iron Man suit to himself, rather than being because he wants to keep it out of the wrong hands, just comes off as Tony having too big an ego to let them have it. Tony's arrogance even creates a villain, as the only reason Justin Hammer becomes an antagonist in the film is because Tony publicly humiliates him. We are repeatedly shown scenes where Hammer and Whiplash watch television and getting pissed off every time they see Tony on screen, so Tony's ego technically creates two villains. And Tony's downward spiral is poor writing. He alienates everyone around him because of his decision to keep his poor health to himself and I'm not even gonna touch on how he endangers people by fighting Rhodey in a house full of innocent bystanders.

Iron Man 3: This is more Tony being a poor protagonist than an actual villain, but still, I have to cover this one. Following Avengers, where Tony was at his most heroic, there was no place for Tony's character to go but down. The moral of this movie is that Tony is a dick to everyone. The movie's villain only became a villain because Tony was dick to him years earlier. Tony is even a dick to Harley, who is the only person trying to help him at his lowest point. Tony's ego continues to put people in danger, as he gives a known terrorist his address, which nearly gets himself and Pepper killed. Tony is obviously suffering from PTSD, but because of his ego, he won't talk about it with Pepper or Rhodey or get help, even after this nearly causes one of his suits to nearly strangle Pepper.

Avengers - Age of Ultron: And here we return to Tony being a villain. After being shown a vision of the Avengers defeat, Tony decides it would be a great idea to plug Ultron, a program he realized was flawed but didn't do anything about, into unknown alien tech without telling any of his teammates but Bruce Banner. Predictably, this goes horribly wrong. Because Ultron had Tony as a template, it decides the best way to save the Earth is to destroy the human race. You think Tony would learn his lesson from this, but no, he does the exact same thing with Vision, all but forcing Bruce to help him. Its a miracle that Vision didn't end up becoming a second Ultron. And let's not forget the only reason any of this happened was because of Tony's years of irresponsibility as CEO of Stark Industries.

Captain America - Civil War: Tony, wracked with guilt over Ultron, is looking for absolution and decides The Accords will give him that. And his need for absolution makes him increasingly irrational over the course of the movie. He dismisses Steve's concerns about The Accords, makes Wanda a glorified prisoner at the compound, and tries to manipulate Steve into signing The Accords. He refuses to listen to Steve's warning about The Winter Soldiers, which leads to the fight at the airport and several of his teammates' incarceration on The Raft. Yet Tony does nothing to help them, even after he himself breaks The Accords twice. And let’s not forget that Tony tries to murder an innocent man for something he had no control over.

Spider-Man - Homecoming: Once again, Tony causes the threat by putting Adrian Toomes out of work, all but forcing Toomes to turn to a life of crime to support his family, despite the fact that it would have been quiet easy for Tony to set up Toomes with a job. And Tony is just an overall terrible mentor to Peter. Basically kidnapping him in Captain America: Civil War, giving him faulty intel, then abandoning him after he's done with Peter. He doesn't tell Peter he called the FBI on Peter's intel, which causes Peter to mess up their operation. Then, Tony turns it around and makes it Peter's fault when Tony is the one who didn't keep Peter in the loop. And can we just talk about how messed up it is that Tony gave a teenager military grade weapons? Seriously, what was Tony thinking?

In conclusion, is Tony a hero or a villain? While his intentions may be good, Tony ends up creating almost every threat he and his Avenger teammates go up against. He's a lot like Batman when you think about it. Like Batman, Tony creates his fair share of villains and threats. Up until Avengers: Endgame, it seemed that rather than Tony trying to learn from his mistakes, he either kept repeating them or making more but in Avengers: Endgame, Tony did his best to make things right.

Favorite Characters in DC Comics

Batman (Bruce Wayne), Nightwing (Dick Grayson), Red Hood (Jason Todd), Batgirl/Oracle (Barbara Gordon), Red Robin (Tim Drake), Huntress (Helena Bertinelli), Catwoman (Selina Kyle), Lady Shiva, Spoiler (Stephanie Brown), Superman (Clark Kent/Kal-El), Supergirl (Kara Zor-El), The Flash (Barry Allen), Wonder Woman (Diana Prince), Green Arrow (Oliver Queen), Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance) - not the version of Dinah in DC Rebirth, Speedy (Mia Dearden), Arsenal (Roy Harper), Starfire (Koriand'r), John Constantine, Zatanna Zatara, Doctor Fate, Slade Wilson (Deathstroke)

Preferred Pairings in DC Comics

Bruce Wayne (Batman) / Selina Kyle (Catwoman) and Dick Grayson (Nightwing) / Barbara Gordon (Batgirl)
In my opinion, they are OTP of Batman. Selina can often be selfish and out for herself but when it really matters, she is able to recognize the right choice from wrong and stands by Bruce, showing that she truly loves him. However, I hate what happened with the pairing in DC Rebirth.

Dick and Barbara have been together through so many adventures and emotional challenges that they have a strong bond that lasts even when they are not in relationship with each other. Though currently, Dick can rarely keep a girlfriend for long and as far as I know, Barbara is single but eventually they are always there for each other, either romantically or as the closest friends.

Clark Kent (Superman) / Lois Lane (Mixed opinion)
Classic couple and OTP of Superman. She brings out the human part of Clark. However, in some recent portrayals she has treated Clark quite badly, making me question the relationship between them. I used to like them but now I have mixed opinion on this, since sometimes they treat each other like crap.

Dick Grayson (Nightwing) / Helena Bertinelli (Huntress)
Well, despite the fact that Helena is more brutal and with less restraint than most of Bat-Family, Dick seems to be a good influence on her.

Dick Grayson (Robin/Nightwing) / Kori'andr (Starfire)
I prefer more Dick / Barbara and am indifferent towards Dick / Kory but I can see it work. Dick and Kori developed feelings for each other, when in Teen Tians team and he helped her with her family issues, like with Kory's sister, who had become Kory's enemy. Theyh both developed strong bond based on trust and understanding of each other and they related to each other a lot, although there were moments, where Dick's and Kory's relationship was more about lust and sex, rather than love, unlike with Barbara.

Tim Drake (Red Robin) / Stephanie Brown (Spoiler)
Reminds a bit of Bruce / Selina relationship. Stephanie is a daughter of a criminal, however, she hates her father and wants to take him down. Stephanie and Tim become vigilante partners and eventually fall in love.

Oliver Queen (Green Arrow) / Dinah Lance (Black Canary)
Very close friendship that eventually developed into love/hate, turning into deep love. However, in DC Rebirth, it became toxic, unhealthy relationship, in which Dinah treats Oliver like crap. Another pairing that was butchered by DC Rebirth. I might write a better handled versions of this relationship or calling Dinah out on her abusive treatment towards Oliver.

Carter Hall (Hawkman) / Kendra Saunders or Shiera Saunders (Hawkgirl)
Tragic relationship. Destined to be together and die, and reborn, every lifetime.

Barry Allen (The Flash) / Iris West
Good classic love story in comic books, so no problem with it.

Barry Allen (The Flash) / Patty Spivot
I liked them together in The New 52, especially since Patty was able to stay by Barry’s side after finding out he was the Flash, more when he was severely injured at that moment. But later, she couldn’t stand to be near Barry after an evil, future version of him tried to kill her, which sadly led into a breakup.

Disliked Pairings in DC Comics

Bruce Wayne (Batman) / Talia al Ghul
Despite their feelings towards each other, they often seem be at odds, mainly because at the end of the day, she is more loyal to her father, Ra’s al Ghul, one of the most dangeous men that have ever walked the face of the Earth, than Bruce. When it comes down to it, her loyalty to Ra's wins over her love towards Bruce and she chooses her father over Bruce. Also, there’s the problem that Talia drugged and raped Bruce in order to conceive Damian and this was the last straw for me. Tragic love story that cannot end well.

Even though Talia hates Ra’s for who he is and what he has done to her, she still loves Ra’s as her father and she is torn between her love for Bruce and loyalty towards Ra’s. Even though she became disillusioned by the League of Assassins and her father's mission, eventually, she became also disillusioned of everything and went on her own path, which is not inherently good or bad and there's a lot of grey area but still, Bruce disapproves of her methods, due to her egomaniacal agenda, obsessive loyalty to Ra's and there are differences of opinions between them.

I wonder why Bruce hasn’t given up on her and I'm not a supporter of "on and off" relationships that cannot be resolved and often end up with one party betraying the other and Bruce / Talia pairing is pure toxic due to Talia being a psychopath.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it will be a breakup or calling Talia out on her crap.

Clark Kent (Superman) / Diana Prince (Wonder Woman)
These two have almost nothing in common, asides from near-immortality and godlike strength.

I will not write stories with this pairing, unless I try to show why it would not work.

Bruce Wayne (Batman) / Diana Prince (Wonder Woman)
Unlikely to last long. Also, like Clark Kent / Diana Prince, Bruce and Diana have barely anything in common.

The most likely scenario would be a one-night stand that quickly fizzles out.

Why The Dark Knight is the most overrated Superhero film of all time:

I used to enjoy the film, when I was younger. The plot regarding the Joker was excellent, however, as I grew older and kept on re-watching the film, it became more and more clear to me that some things just don't work out here.

Boring arguments: Batman, Gordon, and Dent repeatedly meet on rooftops to argue about the corruption in the system and how much they don't trust each other. And these scenes aren't interesting or compelling, they're boring. The more times you've seen the film, the more boring they get. I personally almost fall asleep during these scenes by this point.

Rachel is an unlikable female lead: She strings along both Harvey and Bruce, cheating on Harvey by kissing Bruce and giving Bruce hope only to yank the rug out from under him by telling him "Sorry, but I'm gonna be with Harvey instead" in a letter of all things. And she's a bitch to both of them about their respective attempts to save Gotham. Honestly, what either of them see in her is beyond me. And then she's turned into a plot device to turn Harvey into Two-Face, which brings me to my next point.

Harvey's transformation into Two-face: In the comics, Two-Face is this ruthless crime lord who will cut down anyone who stands in his way. But in the film, he's reduced to this big baby whining about how his girlfriend died. And ultimately, it doesn't work because you just want to pour Harvey a drink and say, "Dude, she's not worth it."

Smallville (If you have not watched Smallville or are not familiar with the TV series, you are welcome to skip this part)

I used to watch Smallville back, when I was a kid but when I started to attend high school, I had already grown up from the comic book like action on the TV but I still think it is good TV series regarding Superman's origin. However, when it was re-airing on TV and I got the chance to re-watch some episodes, I noticed that some pairings were quite messy and I shall explain below my opinions on pairings in the show.

Preferred Pairings in Smallville

Clark Kent / Lois Lane
OK, at first Lois could be bitchy sometimes to Clark but these two could relate to each other a lot and had a good chemistry and Clark later became more open to her than to anyone else, which helped their chemistry develop further. However, this pairing happened quite late, in my honest opinion, since Clark was for too long obsessed with Lana, who later became quite an annoying bitch to Clark.

Clark Kent / Chloe Sullivan
Chloe is Clark's best friend and is by his side, no matter what, despite how much knowing his secret might drag her into danger and she helps him through anything she can. Equal partners with good dynamic and chemistry.

Clark Kent / Alicia Baker
These two were greatly attracted to each other and their chemistry was very good, mainly because of their powers that both of them were keeping secret but trusted each other with revealing themselves as neither of them felt the need to hide anything from each other. However, her feelings for Clark turned into an obsession as she even tried to attack Lana, forcing Clark to have her committed into an asylum.

After she was released, she seemed remorseful of her past actions and wanting to redeem herself, even willing to take a bullet to protect Clark's secret. Convinced that she had changed, Clark gave Alicia another chance as she was helping him with his inner struggle that no one would have accepted him if they had known about his powers. But this relationship ended tragically, when she was killed.

Clark Kent / Tess Mercer
They have good dynamic, despite Clark's occassional cautious attitude and distrust of her, since she can have a hidden agenda but ultimately, she wants to help Clark, yet uses questionable methods to do so. If she had stronger moral values like Clark, I could see it work, since their chemistry on-screen looks good.

Oliver Queen / Tess Mercer
Very good chemistry between these two and despite all the crap they pulled at each other and the fact that Oliver had abandoned her in the past, when they were in a relationship, they still trust each other on some basis at least.

They have same goal, yet each of them use different methods. Eventually, Oliver gave her another chance and they were working things out between each other. While he ultimately chose Chloe over her, he and Tess remained on friendly terms.

Oliver Queen / Chloe Sullivan
First, close friendship, that eventually turned into deep love and their chemistry was fine. I think this pairing was well done.

Jimmy Olsen / Chloe Sullivan
Close friends with deep and close connection. Geeky, curious, like to solve mysteries, a lot of dynamic and chemistry between these two.

However, this relationship was sabotaged due to Chloe's emotional connection to Clark and Davis and her wanting to help them, making Jimmy jealous but ultimately, he was able to understand that the whole time she had been trying to protect him and they both reconciled shortly before Davis killed Jimmy as Jimmy's final words were that he loved Chloe.

Disliked Pairings in Smallville

Clark Kent / Lana Lang
I liked it at first since this pairing was cute in the beginning, with a "high school crush drama" kind of vibe but it was dragged out for far too long as Lana was later such a bitch towards Clark and often treating him like crap, mainly because he was keeping secret from her his abilities and origin. And even after she had found out his secret and they both had eventually reconciled, she turned into a manipulative, secretive, selfish bitch with double standards and hidden agenda that constanly put Clark, Chloe and everyone else in danger.

The first time I watched Smallville, I was sad that they broke up and then reconciled and then were forced to break up later but re-watching the show again later, I realized what kind of a bitch Lana became by the time they broke up, with her later selfishness and hidden agenda constantly putting Clark and his friends and people that he cared about, in danger. This pairing should have ended at Season 5-6 of Smallville, so that the show would focus in Clark / Lois, since starting from Season 5, Lana treated Clark badly, even though they reconciled later in Season 6 but in Season 7-8, Lana constantly kept putting Clark, Oliver, Lois and Chloe in danger with her hidden agenda and lies and secrets.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to call Lana out on her crap or a breakup or to show why it cannot work.

Arrowverse (If you do not watch any of the shows in Arrowverse - Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, do not bother reading any further beyond this point and you are welcome to skip this part)

Arrow
I used to watch Smallville ever since I was a kid and when I saw the Green Arrow appear on the show, I started to read the Green Arrow comic books as well and when the character got so much popularity he got his own show, I just had to watch but I'm not so sure about Arrow anymore. Season 7 improved a lot but Dinah was annoying with how she treated Black Siren and the "past sins" theme is honestly getting cliche and repetitive and the fact that Oliver dies in Crisis on Infinite Earths, Star City becomes a wasteland in the future and neither of his children, William or Mia, use ”Queen” as a last name, make the whole show worth nothing. However, it has been confirmed that Season 8 is going to be the final season of Arrow, with only 10 episodes, which means it's likely that Oliver dies in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Despite the show's missteps and mistakes, such as Olicity being the endgame pairing and killing off Earth-1 Laurel, when Green Arrow/Black Canary should have been the pairing of the show, Arrow, will always have a place in my heart.

Seasons 1-2 were OK.
Seasons 3-4 were crap due to Olicity, Diggle being a jerk and Laurel being arrogant throughout Season 3 and in her dying in Season 4.
Season 5 was good until the bullshit confession, trying to portray Oliver as a serial killer and psychopath and Felicity being annoying (knocking out Black Siren and freeing Cayden James) and Olicity happening again, it was improvement, I liked it.
Season 6 overall wasn't that good in my opinion, mainly because of the teammates being idiots (Diggle, Curtis, Dinah and Rene), Quentin dying and because Oliver was outed as the Arrow AND the Green Arrow and ended up in prison at the end of Season 6, however, Olicity was fixed and more tolerable to an extent, with Felicity treating Oliver more fairly and equally.
In Season 7, the Longbow Hunters did not seem too threatening or impressive, asides from slaughtering Bratva and Diggle’s A.R.G.U.S. squad, while they are able to hold their own against Team Arrow, why didn’t they kill them? The Longbow Hunters did not impress me much, for how menacing their reputation is. Sure, they were able to hold their own against Diggle, Dinah, Laurel and Rene but for their reputation, I don't think they had a chance to kill either of them. The flashforward storyline didn't intrigue me much. But Diggle has become such a hypocrite with proposing the new Suicide Squad, a.k.a. the Ghost Protocol and recruiting Diaz, China White, Cupid and Joe Wilson but it’s good he got ”just desserts” for the blowback. And the theme of "past coming back to haunt and sins of the father" with Emiko is at this point cliche and repetitive and honestly, she got too fast and rushed redemption, in my opinion.

Now, to address the announcement of Season 8 of Arrow being the last one and having only 10 episodes: (Copied and pasted from Arlyss Maligue before it was erased, adding in my own thoughts):
It has been announced the Season 8 of Arrow will be its last and it will only have ten episodes. We can safely assume that at least one of those (most likely the ninth or tenth) will be the show’s contribution to Crisis of Infinite Earths. But more importantly, what we know of the dark future William Clayton and Mia Smoak inhabit in Season 7 of Arrow paints a grim future for the titular character of the series which, to be perfectly honest, has been something I’ve wondered at despite claims by both Stephen Amell and former showrunner Marc Guggenheim that despite the show being considered a crime-drama rather than a superhero show, there was no plan to have Oliver Queen die in the final episode. Combined with the Monitor’s (Mar Novu's) admonition that the universe requires a balance, and you’ve pretty much got a guarantee that Oliver sacrificed himself for Barry and Kara in Elseworlds and that when the time comes, it will be Oliver who dies in Crisis of Infinite Earths but regarding the balance, I assume that asides from Oliver, one more person dies too in Crisis of Infinite Earths, since I do not think Oliver would need go trade his own life only in exchange for Barry’s and Kara’s.

Now, based on the announcement, I think the following speculations are most likely:

First: Oliver is going to die in the Crisis. One of the main themes of Season 7, aside from redemption was how much family means to Oliver and Felicity. It is very unlikely that Oliver would stay away from Felicity and Mia for two decades, and its obvious that Mia never knew her father the way she talked about Felicity telling her about him in Season 7. And if Oliver was alive, he would have found William once his son turned 18 to try and reconnect. I think it's most likely Mark of Four tattoo was Oliver’s lasting legacy after we learned more about it.

Second: The flash-forwards are probably only going to happen in this season, with Season 8’s nine non-crossover episodes (ten episodes total with one being the crossover contribution) tying up loose ends and setting the stage for the dark future that William and Mia inhabit, including the events of the Glades Uprising that’s been mentioned.

Third: It is an awful lot of work to set up this future story without more of a pay-off, so I would give good odds that once Arrow is finished, they will be creating a spin-off with William, Mia, Zoe, Connor, etc.

The Flash
OK, I like the Flash (Barry Allen) as a comic book character and I loved the first two seasons but currently, since Season 3 up to now, in my honest opinion it is the same like with Arrow since it's all Smallville drama and soap opera, focused on WestAllen, which is just a stupid pairing in the show and I shall explain why later below. I don’t like Barry / Iris pairing in the show at all. If they were gonna pair Barry / Iris in the show since they are a pairing in the comic books, they should not have done like making Barry and Iris growing up together under the same roof like brother and sister and Joe is a father figure to both of them. This screams “incest” to the skies and Iris is barely able to understand Barry, if at all. Iris is also so focused on Barry, she once sabotaged Barry's relationship with Linda Park, while she was dating Eddie. Accidentally or on purpose, not cool. And the WestAllen family drama with Nora in Season 5 was so boring and annoying.

I don't like Barry / Iris pairing nor WestAllen drama in the show and with each season it's getting worse and worse. Season 5 attempted to fix it but it was a poor attempt.

Supergirl
It improved a bit in Season 3 but I think that since the beginning it reminded me too much of Smallville theatricality and absurdity (no offense to the show, not that it's bad but I'm not a teenager anymore so it doesn't attract me that much).

I liked the action and plot of Worldkillers in Season 3 and I liked that Mon-El greatly matured in that season. However, Kara's ego has quite grown to a level of a God complex and she was greatly upset by Lena having found out how to make Kryptonite, which she had in possession JUST IN CASE Supergirl went rogue and Kara used James' relationship with Lena to spy on her and this strained the friendship between Supergirl and Lena. I think it is likely that if Lena ever found out that Kara had been lying to her and keeping secret that she is Supergirl, alongside with how she had been treating Lena as Kara and as Supergirl, Lena may become Kara's mortal enemy, just like Clark and Lex. In Season 4, Kara has not shown any signs of ego or self-righteousness unlike in Season 3 but there was a lot of political agenda in the two thirds of the season, such as racism, equality among humans and aliens, xenophobia and fear etc., which was annoying a bit but it wasn't too pushy. Then, the final third, with Lex Luthor's and the Red Daughter's storyline, it greatly improved.

Legends of Tomorrow
I enjoyed the show at first but what annoys me currently (Season 3-4) in the show is Sara's current arrogant bossy attitude as the captain and that the show keeps reminding us of Sara's attraction to women and how she's so close to making out with a woman but I still watch the show but not as regularly as I used to, mainly because Sara is nothing more but piece of propaganda and the plot of the show is so cringeworthy. Also, giving Damien Darhk redemption in the final two episodes of Season 3 is just so freaking stupid after everything he has done, so, the Season 3 wasn't done that well. I guess Seasons 3-4 of Arrowverse shows are cursed and the only reason I watched Season 4 of LoT was John Constantine, whose show I used to watch on NBC before it got cancelled and I like the character. But honestly, the storyline with the magical creatures wasn't very interesting and compelling to me and I've read that the show has gotten lower ratings, not that it surprises me at all and the plot was getting more and more cheesy, average at best, and ridiculous. Honestly, not even Constantine can save the Legends at this point. It is good for amusement but I was less than amused by watching Season 4.

Disliked characters in Arrowverse

Felicity Smoak
No offense to Emily Bett Rickards, I have nothing against the actress herself but in comparison to acting of other actors, her acting sometimes isn't good, it's more like trying to act rather than actual acting that people can buy as realistic. I used to like Felicity in the first two seasons of Arrow but in the following seasons, she became this controlling, emotional bitch, disrespecting Oliver, wanting everything to be her way and there are countless cases in Arrowverse, where Felicity comes up with stupid, suicidal ideas that eventually blow up in her face and backfire and put everyone around her in danger, however, she gets away with her disrespect towards Oliver and most of her stupid ideas scot-free with no realistic consequences because she is Guggenheim's pet and has a thick plot armor. However, in Seasons 6-7, despite some missteps, she has been more or less tolerable, so right now I have more neutral, rather than negative opinion on her.

However, she has matured and become more tolerable in Season 6, so I might go easy on her and treat her better despite that there still are some missteps with her and she is lightly insulting and disrespectful at the very least and at worst, she gets her feelings get the better of her, she takes matters into her own hands and her ideas make things worse. But, she has regained a lot of my respect she used to have in Seasons 1-2, considering that she defended Earth-2 Laurel and was on her side, giving her a benefit of the doubt, no matter what, so right now I'm more or less fine with her.

Examples of what I did not like about Felicity were Felicity protesting at every single turn about Oliver working with Malcolm Merlyn in Season 3, despite that she should understand that he had no other choice left.
In Season 4, she picked up a sucky timing about going into minor and petty arguments with Oliver, when he invited Donna, Felicity's mother, into town, when they argued during a mission in 4x06, when they were supposed to find a component to a device that would resize Ray. Another example is Felicity arguing with Oliver regarding William, when Felicity points out that she should have been consulted regarding Oliver sending William away, when she was in no position to be consulted and she broke up with him and Oliver did not fight back at all, at which I was done with her in Season 4.
In Season 5, I was willing to give her another chance and she was OK until she ordered the recruits to attack Black Siren in 5x10, when it was not her call to make and she knocked Black Siren out, which was completely ridiculous and made Felicity a Mary Sue again. And later, in 5x19, she helped Helix, a group of hacktivists, break out cyber criminal Cayden James, from A.R.G.U.S. black site and they killed a governmental agent. She compromised national security and Cayden James in the first half of Season 6 almost destroyed the city and in 5x23, despite that she apologized to Oliver regarding William, earlier, she whined about not being consulted again.
In Seasons 6-7, she was more or less fixed and became more tolerable and she regained a lot of my respect, when she defended Black Siren in 7x18, when Black Siren had a relapse and was on a path to villainy briefly again.

Nowadays, I'm more or less OK with Felicity but she has a lot of flaws that I cannot overlook so easily.

John Diggle
In the first two seasons, Diggle was Oliver's moral compass and best friend. But the showrunners often make Diggle very inconsistent, but then he became Olicity counselor and in Season 4, he was a total jerk about Oliver kidnapping Lyla and leaving their daughter alone and considering that Diggle knew what the League of Assassins was capable of, he should not have to blame Oliver for so long.

Then, Season 5, he judged Lyla for locking up Cayden James with no due trial. How about looking back at Slade Wilson and Digger Harkness on Lian Yu?

Then, Season 6, Diggle became a self-righteous, selfish jerk about wanting the role of Green Arrow and secretly buying drugs for his nerve damage. Over the Season 6, Diggle became the complete opposite of who he was when he was initially introduced in Arrow, even though in Season 7, he more or less came around, but then, in 7x10 he decided to recruit Diaz into Ghost Initiative, a revamped version of Suicide Squad, when Diggle himself has had issues with the Suicide Squad in the past and his past lecturing of Lyla, Waller and Oliver and when it was not his decision to make and he basically forced Lyla to reinstate it. But he later took responsibility for the blowback, when it did not go well with it in 7x14, so he gets a pass from me.

In summary, Diggle can often be a hypocrite and inconsistent with his character, with criticizing Lyla for locking up Cayden James without trial, when he pretty much did the same thing with Slade and Harkness and criticizing Oliver for having blind spots regarding family, when Diggle himself had a blind spot regarding his former commanding officer, Ted Gaynor, who later became a criminal and Diggle defended him, despite the fact that all the facts were practically in front of him.

Another blind spot is his brother Andy. It was obvious he was helping H.I.V.E. and was inserted as a mole in Team Arrow, yet Diggle defended him, even if everyone else was suspicious of Andy and were forced to give Andy on Diggle's insistence a benefit of the doubt, and that is what ultimately got Laurel killed. Elaborated opinion is later below. At this point, I'm done with Diggle. Most of my stories are gonna keep Diggle more to making him likeable like he was in Seasons 1-2 but after how his character development has been flip-flopping throughout Seasons 3-7, I'm more than tempted to write stories where Diggle gets called out on his crap or killed off. I put him in the same category as Tony Stark in MCU in Avengers: Infinity War. Tolerable but still sour about the crap he had done in the past.

Curtis Holt
He's more to promote LGBT agenda and while he was a good comic relief, when he was initially introduced in Season 4, he later turned out to be quite a moron and as Diggle said once, Curtis is a dude-like version of Felicity and asides from poor combat skills at best, he wasn't able of anything Felicity couldn't do on her own, so he seemed redundant. Plus, he's not very interesting and he acted a lot like an idiot for condeming Oliver as a killer in Season 5.

In Season 6, it got a lot worse though. Curtis turned his back on Oliver and left Team Arrow after Felicity had put him, Dinah and Rene under surveillance, when it was revealed that Rene was testifying against Oliver. This was understandable but the last straw was him siding with Dinah Drake to take out Black Siren, which almost resulted in Quentin, Thea and Felicity getting hurt or worse in process and he also hacked Diggle's chip implant in his hand, in order to take him out of the fight, when fighting against him and Oliver. And the fact, that he condemned Oliver for beating up Rene, causing for his injuries from the beginning of Season 6 to open, despite Oliver holding back and Curtis crossing the line first by hacking Diggle's chip implant, makes him a hypocrite. Good that he left in Season 7.

Dinah Drake
I think Dinah was a promising character but naming her "Dinah", while there was deceased Dinah Laurel Lance, seemed to be disrespect towards the character. But, she turned out to be a vengeful, bloodthirsty bitch with little to no redeeming qualities, willing to beat up a 40-year-old man with heart condition to take out Black Siren for killing her lover, a ruthless vigilante, who indiscrimantely killed criminals, regardless of collateral damage, while Black Siren showed true remorse over what she did and was forced to do it. I think Dinah Drake had a lot of potential but the showrunners wasted it.

I don't hate the character, I hate what the showrunners did with her and I was willing to give her a benefit of the doubt until Season 6 and I gave her another chance in Season 7 but the second half of Season 7 has really soured my opinion on her, considering how she treated Earth-2 Laurel, when she was working her ass off trying to make amends, despite that eventually, Dinah apologized to Laurel and made amends with her but still, her fooling herself that Vince was an innocent, is annoying.

Ricardo Diaz
OK, let me just say, the villainous version of Richard Dragon, also known as Ricardo Diaz Jr., is among my favorite villains in The New 52 Green Arrow comic books but in the show, Diaz is an uninteresting villain and ridiculously overpowered Gary Stu. I mean, the only background that has been given, is Diaz having a rough childhood, bullied in an orphanage and he grew up to be a crime lord. And what baffles me is how is he able to hold his own against Oliver and being able to beat him, while there's no background on his combat skills, although given his association with terrorist Dante, who held his own against Oliver, it might make sense but so far, Diaz has been the lamest main villain of Arrow, with Damien Darhk right behind him.

Iris West
Honestly, Iris has been completely mishandled by the showrunners of The Flash and I think she is even worse than Felicity in most cases. I have nothing against Candice Patton but she plays quite an awful version of Iris in the show. She has even stupider suicidal ideas than Felicity and her plot armor is even thicker than Felicity's and she rarely, if ever, gets called out. She is a selfish, bossy, arrogant bitch that treats Barry and everyone around her like crap and her lackeys and walks away with it, being jealous of Barry with any other girl than her and she sabotaged Barry’s relationship with Linda Park when Barry was dating Linda. In this case, either she wasn't thinking what was she doing at the time and it was all by accident or she just couldn't stand Barry being with someone else. Sometimes I think that they should have casted someone else than Candice Patton as Iris West in The Flash. Honestly, Danielle Panabaker would've fit better as Iris, rather than Candice Patton, since Danielle and Grant Gustin have much better chemistry on-screen than Iris but, then, the whole WestAllen thing should've been handled differently, rather than Barry being obsessed with Iris to the point of stalking and he and Iris growing up under the same roof, with Joe being father figure to both of them.

In Season 3, she called off the engagement with Barry and broke up with him after Savitar had beaten Barry almost to death, which, while understandable, since Barry had purposed to her mainly to save her life, was cruel, tactless and inconsiderate from her towards Barry. And making her leader of Team Flash in Season 4 is freaking stupid. Right now, I honestly hate her far more than Felicity at the moment. Elaborated opinion is later below.

Nora West-Allen
To me, despite that I was willing to give her a benefit of the doubt at the beginning of Season 5, when she was just starting, she was more annoying than interesting to me, even though I had some sympathy for her. She grew up without Barry as her father around and Iris put a power-dampening chip on her to suppress her powers. But she had Iris' recklessness and immaturity and acts a bit like a fangirl, putting herself and everyone at unnecessary risk and who knows what did she mess up in the timeline by coming back from the future and she is emotional, whenever Iris approaches her or someone brings her up, since in the future Iris put a power-dampening chip on her for her own protection and she grew up without Barry as her father, which makes her quite short-tempered and bitchy towards Iris, which is more pointless WestAllen family drama and it was stupid that at some moments Season 5 treated her like if she was more important than other characters, who had been in the show for four seasons.

Plus, she lied about her being associated with Thawne and time travelled back and forth to talk with Thawne behind Team Flash’s back repeatedly, despite knowing what he had done, when it was more than likely that Thawne had been manipulating her and Team Flash the whole time again. And frankly, throughout the whole Season 5, she had almost no character development at all, since when she seemed that she had learned from her mistakes, her behavior did not change at all and the show stupidly tried to justify her actions and the constant drama around her made Season 5 boring and annoying. And Iris, while I understand why she wanted to take Nora's side after Team Flash found out that she had been working with Thawne, her claiming that Thawne was right, really lowered my opinion on Iris even more and it seriously pissed me off.

While I get she wanted him to train her when she was learning about speedster powers, how could she still work with Thawne despite knowing that he killed Barry’s mother is beyond me and I don’t blame Barry for sending her back to the future where she belongs. I gave her a benefit of the doubt at first but I soured on her since 5x18. I can understand her working with Thawne at first but her continuing to work with him, despite learning what Thawne had done to her family, I don’t think it is forgivable. Although, I think she redeemed herself after defeating Cicada and therefore erasing herself from existence but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over her death.

Kendra Saunders
When she was introduced in The Flash, she seemed like a promising character but most of the crossover with Arrow and in LoT she was whining, "I'm a barista, not a warrior." The showrunners did such a crappy job with this character.

Rip Hunter
Self-serving jackass, who uses his own teammates like pawns for his own means. After what he did with the Time Bureau agents and how he had hidden from the Legends and from Ava herself that she is actually a clone, he became a jackass in my book. But how he sacrificed himself to stop Mallus did earn him some redemption but I can't stop hating him and I think he went off too easily.

Alex Danvers
Now, I don't fully dislike Alex as a character, unlike other characters, but her coming out as a lesbian in Season 2 of Supergirl seemed pointless and it consumed most of the season and she sometimes shows short temper and arrogant behavior, always having to have the final word, which ticks me off. Plus, she likes to involve herself in problems of others and is very nosy. I don't mind Alex that much but she can get very annoying in Supergirl sometimes, though not as much as other characters in Arrowverse.

James Olsen
Nothing against the character itself or the actor himself and I know that film and TV adaptations like to make their own spins on characters from comic books but sometimes I don't like James in Supergirl because he is nothing like the comic book version of the character or previous live action portrayals of Jimmy Olsen. The classic Jimmy is awkward geek and nerd. The version in the show is self-righteous bad-ass "vigilante" and can sometimes be arrogant "know-it-all".

It might often happen that I will insert Batman and Justice League characters into my Arrowverse stories or my own original characters. So, to add faces to the characters

Batman characters:
Bruce Wayne - Christian Bale (nothing against Affleck but I think Bale was more realistic, Affleck was more of the comic book portrayal)
Alfred Pennyworth - Michael Caine
Selina Kyle - Anne Hathaway or Stana Katic (depends on which actress you think is more appropriate)
Dick Grayson - Matt Long
Jason Todd - James Franco or Garrett Hedlund or Michael Angarano (depends on which actor you think is more appropriate)
Tim Drake - Dylan O'Brien
Barbara Gordon - Ashley Greene
Commissioner James Gordon - Gary Oldman (I like J.K. Simmons but to me he will always be J.J. Jameson from the old Spider-Man films)

Justice League or other DC Comics characters, heroes and villains alike or supporting characters:
Clark Kent (Superman) - Tyler Hoechlin (Nothing against Henry Cavill, he is a good actor but the interpretation of Superman in DCEU does not sit well with me, Hoechlin portrays the more classical Superman)
Diana Prince (Wonder Woman) - Gal Gadot
Arthur Curry (Aquaman) - Alan Ritchson, who also played the character in Smallville TV series (Nothing against Jason Momoa, he actually is one of my favorite actors but he doesn't look like Aquaman in comic books at all, even though I liked the solo film with him in DCEU)
Victor Stone (Cyborg) - Ray Fisher
Lex Luthor - Michael Rosenbaum (He's the one true Lex Luthor for me, Jesse Eisenberg was lame and Gene Hackman too old school and Jon Cryer did a good job in Supergirl but he doesn't sit well with me and Kevin Spacey wasn't all that bad but Superman Returns was a disastrous film overall)
Mercy Graves - Elena Satine (Rhona Mitra wasn't that bad in Supergirl but I didn't like her version in the show at all)
Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) - Matthew McConaughey (Ryan Reynolds is a great actor but the film with him was catastrophic)
John Stewart (Green Lantern) - David Oyelowo
Kyle Rayner (Green Lantern) - Dave Franco
Zatanna Zatara - Serinda Swan, who also played the character in Smallville TV series
Steve Trevor - Chris Pine

As for my OCs or other DC Comics characters inserted into the stories:
Henry Fyff - Chad Michael Murray
Nicole Fyff - Kristen Bell
Takeo Yamashiro - Rick Yune (considering that his brother, Karl Yune, plays Maseo Yamashiro in Arrowverse and in comic books, Takeo is his brother)
Jade Nguyen - Jamie Chung
Jack Wheeler - Sebastian Stan
Rachel Gibson - Rachel Nichols
Richard Dragon (heroic version) - Matthew Fox
Richard Dragon (evil version) - Scott Adkins (This is nothing against Kirk Acevedo, he is a great actor but I don’t like Arrowverse version of Richard Dragon, Ricardo Diaz, I will be sticking with comic book portrayals, both hero and villain versions of Richard Dragon)
Rose Wilson - Yvonne Strahovski
Artemis of Bana-Mighdall (do not mistake with Evelyn Sharpe of Arrow, Artemis of Bana-Mighdall is a DC Comics Amazon like Wonder Woman or Donna Troy) - Jessica Biel

This is written in regards to my Arrowverse stories which are part of THE DAR(H)K WAR saga and writing a sequel covering "Crisis on Earth-X". Re-watching the crossover, it seemed like pure fan service and frankly, I don't like Barry/Iris pairing in Arrowverse at all. Even if I would get aside Barry/Iris and Oliver/Felicity subplot, numerous things bugged me in the crossover that I didn't like at all and annoyed me a lot.

The crossover had potential but they spent more time focusing on the relationship drama instead of the crossover reaching its potential. You would have to be a complete idiot or a lover of pointless soap opera/drama crap to like the actual crossover, frankly, I hated the crossover overall and there was almost nothing I liked about it.

WARNING: The following issues I have with the crossover that I have listed below, also contains huge spoilers for the crossover, so read at your own discretion.

Oliver of Earth-X and Kara of Earth-X are married.
Fans often ship Oliver / Kara and the couple was among the villains in the crossover. Frankly, it really annoyed me. I had to roll my eyes on the revelation that Dark Arrow and Overgirl were married to each other, it seemed like nothing but stupid fan service to me and Earth-38 Kara's reaction to the idea of her being married to Oliver seemed like a shoutout of people, who make it clear that Oliver / Kara can't happen. The pairing Dark Arrow / Overgirl and the fact that he had been trying to save her throughout the crossover was one of many things I hated about the crossover, since it was nothing but a twisted idea of the showrunners of Arrowverse trying to appeal to the fans shipping Oliver / Kara. I do not support Oliver / Kara but I am not opposed to the idea either, since I can see why people would want to pair them, however, Crisis on Earth-X really ticked me off with this pairing, since this was nothing but a fan-serviced move.

Sara Lance and Alex Danvers hooking up and sleeping together.
Honestly, I wasn't even surprised that would happen, it more like annoyed me that they needed to fill Sara's bisexual/gay quota. Even though I was curious, I did not need to see it happen. Sara and Alex hooking up in a one-night stand was again nothing but pure stupid fan service, which hit my nerves.

Leo Snart of Earth-X, a.k.a. Citizen Cold is gay.
Again, Arrowverse pushing political agenda and possibly fan service too, which was very ennoying.

Prometheus of Earth-X is Tommy Merlyn.
Again, fan service that hit my nerves. Now, in Season 5 of Arrow there were a lot of people, who wanted Tommy to be Prometheus. But, the problem was that it would be cliché and predictable and also, Colin Donnell, the actor playing Tommy, was unavailable, due to being cast in NBC show Chicago Med at the time. And, even so, Tommy's face was on-screen for like 5-10 minutes before he committed suicide, so what the hell was the point anyway, asides from stupid fan service?

Felicity Smoak and Iris West saving Team Arrow and Team Flash.
I call "bullshit" on that one right now. Forcing Felicity and Iris to save them, don't make me laugh. This was to make Felicity and Iris seem more capable than they actually are. There are countless moments, when their plan was stupid and should have gotten them killed. Mary-Sue alert and fan service and pandering of Felicity and Iris. If anyone actually liked that part, they're idiots with blinders towards Felicity and Iris, no way either of them would have been able to save Team Arrow and Team Flash in S.T.A.R. Labs full of Nazis without getting into trouble.

At the end, Felicity and Oliver get married, despite Felicity shouting out loud at the rehearsal dinner to Oliver in front of dozens of people that she doesn't want to marry him in the first part AND while Iris and Barry are getting wed at the end of the crossover, Felicity rudely and unsurprisingly interrupts them.
Another example of Felicity being hypocrite, rude and annoying and no one ever, or rarely, calls her out for her disrespectful crap.

Martin Stein dying.
I'll be honest, this did not annoy me but it did not make sense at all. While Stein dying was one of the most emotional scenes in Arrowverse, as much as Moira Queen's death or Barry going back in time to see his mother Nora before she dies, this was illogical, since Waverider can heal a lot worse than a bullet wound. It healed Diggle in Invasion after he had been shot. And it also healed Sara after she had been shot by evil Rip Hunter later that season and he snapped her neck. And her injuries were far worse than Diggle's. Plot over logic.

Eobard Thawne of Earth-1, the Reverse-Flash being alive again, even though he should have been erased from existence.
Time remnant from Speed Force? Maybe. Still, it doesn't make that much sense, aside from fan service again. I think Thawne should have died permanently in Legends of Tomorrow 2x17. His return could have been interesting if they had given it proper explanation. I admit that I myself couldn't think of a fitting substitute for Eobard Thawne as Earth-X Flash though, nor give more proper explanation why Thawne had returned.

There are so many things I disliked with the crossover that I tried to fix but it has been pointed out to me that I did put there a pointless Henry / Sara drama subplot just like in the crossover was unnecessary Sara / Alex subplot. So, I guess this is my bad and lesson learned, do not insert drama subplots around the main characters.

Sorry, if some of you disliked my story due to this and all I can say is “My bad, I’m sorry and I will try not to make my stories pointlessly melodramatic and turn them into soap operas next time but I can only hope you have liked the story and will follow and read my other stories as well."

Preferred Pairings (canon pairings and pairings I would like to see) in Arrowverse

Arrow

Oliver Queen / Sara Lance
This is a logical pairing, since Sara has been through similar hell as Oliver has been, surviving in harsh environment, forced to kill to survive, basically, she and him have a certain level of understanding to each other, since they both spent their time in the darkness and they also have excellent chemistry and dynamic in the show.

And fans of Laurel are probably going to hate me for it and what I'm writing here is NOTHING AGAINST Laurel's character but I'm just stating the facts here. I love both Sara and Laurel as characters and as their Canary alter-egos. Sara had an embarrassing crush on Oliver before the Gambit and Laurel knew it. Out of jealousy, she called the cops on Sara at Tommy's party and Sara was grounded for month and next thing she knew, Laurel was dating with Oliver. So, Sara going on Queen's Gambit is not completely on Oliver convincing her but because Laurel screwed Sara over, so Sara decided to get back at her.

If it hadn't been for Laurel's jealousy, I could see them make it work. I love Oliver being with either of the Lance sisters. Oliver / Laurel used to be my preference and OTP of Arrow but the recent obsession of some fanatics with this pairing and my realization regarding the pairing made me reconsider a lot of things regarding it. I love Oliver / Sara too, that is, when it is possible that they and Laurel are able to resolve their issues in the past regarding what happened before Season 1 and when Sara came back in Season 2.

Oliver Queen / Earth-1 Laurel Lance (Mixed opinion)
The concept is great but the execution of the pairing was done poorly in the show, to be honest. I enjoy writing this pairing but recent events have made me reconsider many things about it, mainly the mania around Oliver / Earth-1 Laurel for the past few years, which has reached the point of outright fanatism and obsession since May 2019 and anyone trying to pair Oliver with anyone BUT Earth-1 Laurel, gets crucified by the fanatics, mainly when they dare to pair Oliver / Sara, instead of Oliver / Earth-1 Laurel. Earth-1 Laurel used to be my preferred love interest for Oliver and it used to be OTP for me. If you are at least familiar with Green Arrow comic books, you know that Oliver and Dinah Laurel Lance are OTP, as much as understandable her anger towards Oliver in Season 1 and their strained relationship in Season 2 because of Tommy's death were, they should have found their way to each other but Guggenheim decided to pull that stupid Olicity card, which I didn't mind at first, but considering where did it lead... well, if you watch the show, I don't think I need to explain myself any further. This pairing should have been the heart and main love story of Arrow, since both of them have been through crucibles of epic proportions and can relate to each other the most, asides from Sara and their chemistry is great.

I wish Laurel had not died and that Oliver ended up with either Laurel or Sara instead of Felicity, who has until Season 6 had little to no respect towards Oliver or any of his former or current girlfriends and Felicity treated Sara and Laurel like crap due to being jealous.

However, the recent mania from fanatics that are obsessed with this pairing and crucify anyone, who pairs Oliver with anyone but Earth-1 Laurel makes it harder for me to write this pairing, despite that I enjoy reading and writing it. Plus, I do not like how the pairing has been handled from the beginning. I love the pairing as a concept but I dislike the circumstances preceding it. Laurel knew that Sara had a crush on Oliver and she became jealous of Sara and called the cops on her sister at Tommy's party, resulting in Sara being grounded by Quentin and later Oliver and Laurel dating, which was the cause of Sara going with Oliver on Gambit and cheating on Laurel and also, before Sara, Oliver cheated on Laurel again with Samantha by getting drunk at a party and later sleeping with Samantha, resulting in Samantha giving birth to William, which ruined this pairing from the start and it apparently was the result of the showrunners' disrespect towards the pairing and just the fact that Laurel, out of jealousy, had Quentin ground Sara, makes it hard for me to root for this pairing.

In Season 3, Laurel, from an emotional side, turned her back on him and had a stick up her ass, developing a sense of self-righteousness and arrogance, disrespecting Oliver, which continued to the beginning of Season 4, where she justified Oliver saving Thea with Lazarus pit to resurrect Sara, without fully understanding the consequences. Though later, they again became friends, the showrunners killed Laurel off and her last words on deathbed were that Oliver would always be the love of her life and she supported Oliver / Felicity, which was a low blow and spit in the face of comic book fans and reasonable fans of Arrow.

Plus, it is astonishing that Laurel keeps staying around Oliver, despite the fact that he had cheated on her at least twice, with Samantha and later with Sara and what is even more strange is Laurel showing no conflicting feelings towards Oliver in the beginning of the show in the first episodes and having little to no self-respect, which makes it hard to root for the pairing in the early seasons. I still love the pairing though and I enjoy writing and reading stories with Oliver / Earth-1 Laurel but I get why some other people are mixed about it and honestly, the harrassment from people who are Laurel fanatics makes it hard for some writers to write for this pairing in particular and I don't blame them.

Honestly, just the fact that Laurel called Quentin on Sara at Tommy's party, which resulted in Sara being grounded for month and Laurel and Oliver later dating, when Laurel had known about Sara having a crush on Oliver and wanted to get Sara out of the way to get to Oliver, soured my opinion on the pairing Oliver / Earth-1 Laurel, alongside the fact that Laurel had set herself up in a fantasy world with Oliver, oblivious of how much she was hurting Sara or that Oliver was not ready to move in with her, makes it hard for me to root for the pairing despite that I enjoy writing and reading it. I want to keep writing stories with this pairing but the recent obsession and harrassment regarding this pairing and my epiphany regarding the circumstances of this pairing, has made me feel uneasy writing it and I'm most likely not going to write stories with this pairing as often as I used to.

I'll keep the pairing Oliver / Earth-1 Laurel in my The Dar(h)k War saga but outside of it, I most likely am not going to write it as often as I used to, despite that I enjoy writing it, due to the facts I have mentioned above, which are Laurel getting Sara grounded so that Laurel could date Oliver and the Laurel fanatics, which actually are not Laurel fanatics but Katie Cassidy fanatics, since she is a good actress and I do not disagree. I think she does well in emotional scenes but as for action in Arrow, she honestly leaves a lot desired.

Oliver Queen / Earth-2 Laurel Lance (Black Siren) (Mixed opinion)
Put aside the fact that Black Siren was a villain and is now a reformed criminal on a path to redemption, she is everything Black Canary from comic books is. She has good chemistry with Oliver, just like Earth-1 Laurel, as seen in Arrow 5x10 and she had rough life, just like Oliver. On the other hand, after how Earth-1 Laurel died in Season 4, this pairing feels a little like rebound, which makes it a little hard for me to root for it but I would like to see this pairing happen, if it was well written.

Plus, in Season 5, they ruined her by making her a villain and Felicity knocking her out, which BTW was total bullshit. In Season 6, she was ruined even further by becoming a one-dimensional villain and joining a cabal of villains to make Oliver's life living hell. However, later she showed remorse and regret over her past actions and despite her trying to show that she has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, she has her own moral values and sense of honor, as seen for example, when she showed reluctance and later remorse over killing Vincent Sobel (Vigilante), when Cayden James ordered her to and her gratitude towards Oliver and Diggle defending her, when Dinah was going to kill her to avenge Vince. Or another example is when Diaz burned alive his childhood bully over a grudge that had been going on for years, she expressed disgust at Diaz’s actions.

Later she was clearly ashamed and remorseful over her past actions and was set on a path of redemption in Season 7 after how her actions had hurt Oliver and Quentin.

I think that Oliver and Black Siren could be a good match after that but Oliver is currently with Felicity, who is now far more tolerable than before.

However, there is the same issue with the pairing Oliver / Earth-2 Laurel as with Earth-1 Laurel, regarding the Laurel fanatics, so I don't see myself write stories with this pairing a lot nowadays.

Oliver Queen / Helena Bertinelli
If it hadn't been for the fact that Helena turned out to be a psychopath, I could see them make it work, since they both have a lot in common and their chemistry was fine in 1x07-08. Fathers who have done bad things, that impacts their personal lives, loss of a loved one... they would have been a good couple.

I wish that Helena had returned to the show more often but in Arrow 7x12, they implied that Helena was dead and that is because they want to use the Huntress in DCEU's Birds of Prey film.

Oliver Queen / Nyssa al Ghul
I do not want to hear any arguments on that Nyssa is a lesbian, there are a lot of fanfiction stories out there, where the main characters are either bisexual or gay and it has not been explicitely confirmed in Arrowverse that Nyssa is a lesbian. For all we know, she could be bisexual.

This pairing may be fan-serviced but it's actually one of those I actually am OK with. There seems to be some unexplored chemistry and a lot of good dynamic between her and Oliver, since both of them are fellow warriors, who are willing to go to extreme to protect their loved ones. They have a lot of respect towards each other and there certainly seems to be an attraction between them, so criticizing me for pairing them both would be very hypocritical of you. I think this pairing has a potential.

Oliver Queen / Kara Zor-El (Kara Danvers)
I myself am not much of a supporter of this pairing but I can see why people would ship them and I would not complain about it if it happened. However, the pairing of the evil doppelgangers in Crisis on Earth-X was nothing but pure fan service nonsense and it was one of many things that I hated about the crossover. I don’t support pairings that are purely fan-serviced if they are not written properly in fanfiction stories and so far, I have seen very few of such stories that were in my opinion well written on FF.net and AO3, as far as Oliver / Kara pairing is concerned.

These two have different personalities and perspectives on life but both of them are in their own ways, pariahs in their society, they both have suffered their share of losses, they both suffer from survivor's guilt and they both carry a great burden, while carrying on their mission as heroes, plus, they have good chemistry in the show with a lot of potential and can relate to a significant extent. If it was written in a way without Kara being egoist and self-righteous, to the point of preferring her own ideals over what is necessary, like in Season 3 of Supergirl, I can see it work.

However, I honestly don’t see myself writing it, since it seems like fan service to me and I don’t see it working out in the long-term, due to Kara’s self-righteousness and Oliver’s extreme methods. I'd need to figure out how it could work, if I ever decide to write a story with pairing Oliver / Kara. Like I said, I don't support this pairing but I can see why people would but in my opinion, if I ever decide to write stories with this pairing, there would be a lot of things to think about to make the pairing work out. I might consider writing stories with this pairing, if I could see how it could work.

Sara Lance / Nyssa al Ghul
I honestly do not mind Sara being bisexual but I am annoyed by the fact that currently in Legends of Tomorrow, the showrunners keep reminding us of the fact that Sara is attracted to women, as if we are idiots. It often happens in the show that Sara is interested in another woman or is making out with another girl, or someone in the show makes a crack that Sara is into girls, which has become irritating and annoying at this point and it is no longer cute or funny.

As for Sara's relationship with Nyssa, I can understand their attraction to each other, even though they fell into each other due to the development of Florence Nightingale syndrome, when Nyssa fell in love Sara, while nursing her to health after she saved her after the sinking of Amazo.

In my opinion, in the entire Arrowverse, the only two viable romance options for Sara so far have been Oliver and Nyssa. My only issue with the relationship are the circumstances of the relationship, thus, them being members of the League and bringing Sara on path to darkness. Otherwise, I think it's a good pairing. But, the question is, if they got together under different circumstances than the League of Assassins, would they last long? I am not sure how stable would this relationship be, putting aside the League of Assassins completely. I might write stories with this pairing but my feelings about this pairing are a bit mixed.

Sara Lance / Ray Palmer
I think Ray and Sara care about each other like a brother and sister and I think they have good chemistry. I think there's a potential for this relationship to develop further than that but currently, they don't care about the other more than close friends and neither of them have expressed that they want more for the other one.

It’s a pairing I might consider writing, despite being fan service ship.

Roy Harper / Thea Queen
Their chemistry was one of the best in the show and I just loved their story in Arrow but Roy's character was completely wasted and had a lot of potential. That was because of Colton Haynes' contract and then his health issues. I wish they had given Roy / Thea relationship far more development but Willa Holland's contract expired in Season 6 of Arrow.

Felicity Smoak / Ray Palmer
They had good dynamic and chemistry and both of them are tech geeks, so they could relate a lot. My only complaint is that Felicity in 3x01 (unintentionally by giving Ray a tech advice) helped Ray hack into Queen Consolidated servers to find out about QC's raw data about the company's performance, which later led to Oliver losing Queen Consolidated to Ray, although Oliver probably wasn't in the right set to be the CEO and the Arrow at the same time. Unfortunately, the showrunners decided to listen to the fans and ship Olicity, which later turned out to be a huge mistake.

The Flash and Supergirl

Barry Allen / Patty Spivot
Both Barry and Patty have a lot in common, as for their personality and interests and their chemistry is just great, both even have a little darkness in them because of, go figure, the loss of a parent. What's not to like about these two? Definitely a fitting couple, in my opinion, if the writers hadn't written her character off the show in Season 2, a bit more honesty from Barry about him being the Flash and I could see the relationship develop further.

Pity they wrote her off because Shantel VanSanten was cast into Shooter TV series during that time. I liked Shooter the first season before it turned a little too much into a family drama but since the show was cancelled, I hope Shantel VanSanten returns to the show as Patty someday.

Barry Allen / Kara Zor-El (Kara Danvers)
They have excellent chemistry and very good dynamic, both have superpowers, both have similar personalities, both have been raised by people who were not biologically related to them after their biological families were taken from them. However, I have the same issue with this pairing like with Oliver / Kara, that being Kara preferring her own values over what is necessary to do, even if it means taking a life, just like Batman and her self-righteousness is more important to her than saving innocent lives. And while Barry may be self-righteous and averse to killing, it's not like he hasn't at least considered getting his hands dirty.

If circumstances allowed it, these two would be the ultimate power couple, if you remove the self-righteousness aspect.

Barry Allen / Caitlin Snow
There seems to be a lot of potential unexplored chemistry between these two, despite not being a pairing in comic books.

If it hadn't been for Barry's unhealthy obsession with Iris, I can see them make it work somehow, since I think that Grant Gustin and Danielle Panabaker have much better chemistry together on-screen, rather than he has with Candice Patton, although I have nothing against the latter, I just think that Grant and Candice have no chemistry on-screen at all. Honestly, Danielle would've fit more as Iris, rather than Candice but that would need for the basis of WestAllen in the show to change, since it's incest, considering the father/son bond between Joe and Barry and that Barry and Iris had grown up together, with Joe being a father figure to both of them.

Barry Allen / Felicity Smoak
In Arrow 2x08-09 and in The Flash 1x04 there was a lot of chemistry between these two. They both have a lot in common and can relate, due to their geeky and dorky personality.

But, the showrunners decided to pair Barry with Iris, who is quite annoying in my opinion, even more than Felicity and while Felicity changed for the better in Seasons 6-7, she is now married to Oliver. I used to hate Olicity pairing but since Season 6, the pairing was more tolerable.

Cisco Ramon / Lisa Snart
Call me crazy but despite the fact that Lisa helped her brother Leonard Snart, a.k.a. Captain Cold, kidnap Cisco and torture his brother Dante, there is very good chemistry between her and Cisco and it has this Batman / Catwoman kind of vibe.

Cisco Ramon / Kendra Saunders
I think they had good chemistry and there certainly was attraction, unlike with Kendra and Carter. After that, I wanted to put a gag on Kendra for constantly whining, “I’m not a warrior, I’m a barista.”

Legends of Tomorrow

Mick Rory / Amaya Jiwe
I think there's a lot of dynamic between these two and while I do not ship them, they are a good team and Amaya seems to have positive influence on Mick and their chemistry was better than Nate / Amaya. It would've made a lot more sense than how they handled pairing Amaya and Nate. I will not write stories with this pairing but I think this would've made sense.

Ray Palmer / Zari Tomaz
Two tech geeks, like video games, they could really relate and both have a sense of humor and they have good chemistry on-screen. I can see that happening but I currently don't have a clear idea about how could they get together but I might write stories with this pairing.

Supergirl

Querl Dox (Brainy) / Nia Nal
Rushed maybe but this works well because there is good dynamic between Brainy and Nia and they understand each other well due to being socially awkward geeks and sort of outcasts in the eyes of society. Brainy helped Nia master her powers and when she struggled with being alienanted from her family and I think their chemistry is fine and this pairing has potential. So far, this relationship has been the only one that I have approved of in Supergirl.

Disliked Pairings in Arrowverse

There are pairings in Arrowverse that have really annoyed me, due to females becoming arrogant, annoying, emotional and unlikable. And don’t get me started on slash homosexual or incest pairings that I have seen on FF.net and AO3 in sections Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow. I respect writer’s decisions to write them but these are in my opinion total bullshit and disgust me, such as Laurel / Sara, Laurel / Thea, Laurel / Nyssa, Sara / Felicity, Laurel / Felicity, Sara / Thea, Oliver / Tommy, Oliver / Thea, Oliver / Slade, Iris / Linda, Barry / Snart, Barry / Hartley, Iris / Caitlin, Snart / Mick, Kara / Alex, Kara / Lena etc. and I have no desire at all of writing them or reading them. Don’t expect me to write or read these kinds of stories in Arrowverse section since I find non-canon homosexual and non-canon incest pairings, such as those I have mentioned, a disgusting and insulting load of crap. I know this is fanfiction and the pairings are unrealistic but honestly, do the people that write these slash and incest pairings stop to think about how disgusting it might look? Why would they even consider such pairings? To me, all Arrowverse non-canon slash and incest pairings are really disgusting, insulting and disrespectful towards the characters and fans of Arrowverse and no way in hell I am ever going to write them or read them and I think anyone who writes or reads non-canon slash (gay or lesbian) or incest pairings in Arrowverse has serious mental issues and has no respect towards the comic books.

Remember: I am never going to read or write any story with non-canon slash or incest pairings in Arrowverse section of fanfiction websites, since I find these stories offending, disgusting and disrespectful towards the characters and I think that anyone who writes stories with such pairings or asks me to write such pairings, is a sick, disgusting person that has no respect towards the characters and is out of their mind and needs professional help. I hate non-canon slash and non-canon incest pairings in Arrowverse part or any comic book section of fanfiction.

If I "disapprove" of the pairing, the verb says it all. If I "have a mixed opinion", that means that I would approve of it, if it had been handled differently than in the canon but currently I do not approve of it but would like to see a better handled, refined version of the relationship in fanfiction stories. I'm not gonna write stories with pairings I disapprove of, unless it is a breakup or to show why it would not work. If I have a mixed opinion about it, I would try a more improved and refined spin on the relationship in my stories.

I will not write stories with pairings I disapprove of, unless it is a breakup or to show why it would not work. If I have a mixed opinion about it, I would try to write a more improved and refined spin on the relationship in my stories.

Arrow

Oliver Queen / Felicity Smoak (Mixed opinion)
I used to hate Olicity but nowadays I'm more mixed about it. In summary, Felicity almost always disrespected Oliver and treated him like crap, which was a big mistake from the showrunners and no one ever called her out for it and Oliver, who had lost all of his self-respect, didn't even fight back on her constant verbal abuse and yelling. Their chemistry was OK at first in Season 1 but later in Season 2 and from that point onward, Felicity had become more and more intolerable. I'll be honest, I never supported it but I could've seen that happening but I had hoped for it to be a short relationship, with either Oliver / Earth-1 Laurel or Oliver / Sara being the main pairing of Arrow.

And she is also a big hypocrite, when she gets highly upset about Oliver keeping secrets from her and lying to her but she has no problem lying to him. The example could be made about Oliver being forced to keep William a secret from her, or Felicity keeping secret from Oliver that Ray had been building ATOM suit to fight crime and she didn’t come clean about it until Ray was intending to arrest him and expose him as the Arrow or Felicity helping Team Arrow while Oliver was away with her behind his back.

While in Seasons 6-7 Felicity changed for the better more or less and she wasn't as abusive towards Oliver as before, there are still some moments when I need to face palm at her behavior. Despite that, Olicity relationship did more or less improve since Season 3-5 and she wasn’t that much annoying anymore and she treated Oliver more fairly and equally and the drama and arguments were kept more to minimum. But that doesn't mean I will write stories with this pairing, since I still don't support this pairing at all but I think I'll give it a pass in the show, if it is mostly drama-free and Felicity treats Oliver more fairly and equally. However, the twist in 7x13 with Mia (Blackstar) being Olicity's daughter really lowered the bar on my opinion on Oliver / Felicity.

The pairing has a pass from me in the show since Season 6 but I will not write stories with this pairing, unless it will be a breakup, calling Felicity out or something like that or showing why it would not work or a comedic situation with Oliver / Felicity. If they were going to do Oliver / Felicity, it should’ve been short-time deal, like with Oliver / Helena or Oliver / McKenna for example.

Oliver Queen / Talia al Ghul (Mixed opinion)
OK, the reason I’m mentioning this pairing is that I’ve read some stories with this pairing and I can see why would the people pair them and the concept, given how it has been written in the stories I have seen, was intriguing but frankly, I have mixed opinion on this and most likely am not gonna approve of it, due to Talia being as much of a psychopath as in the comic books. The concept is intriguing however, since Talia helped Oliver channel the darkness and create his “Hood” persona. She was from a large part responsible for Oliver becoming the man he is today.

I liked their good dynamic in the flashbacks in Season 5 and in 7x05. BUT (and this is mostly on showrunners) Talia seemed to turn a part of Oliver into a monster as she taught him skinning technique and Oliver later used that to skin a man alive for interrogation and practice. I think the reason this was shown in the series was to convince us that Oliver is a monster that enjoys killing, which I don’t buy at all, not even for a second.

Plus, when Oliver killed her father, Talia seemed to have turned into a hypocrite and psychopath and she had lost her sense of honor and common sense, since Oliver was meant to be the next Ra’s and Ra’s wanted to wipe out an entire city with a bio-weapon and it was either Oliver or her father. Talia became a hypocrite because she trained Simon Morrison (Adrian Chase a.k.a. Prometheus), who wanted revenge on Oliver because he had killed Chase’s father, Justin Claybourne, who infected hundreds of people with tuberculosis and Claybourne’s name was on the list, the same list that Oliver targeted on persuasion from Talia.

If Talia had not been the psychopath she is in the show and in the comic books, due to her unhealthy loyalty to Ra’s al Ghul, I can see her and Oliver getting together somehow, if only for a short time. I am honestly intrigued about this concept but considering how she is portrayed in the show and in the comic books and her apparent instability and psychopathy, I don't support it. Just like in comic books, on one hand, she hates her father for who he is, since Ra's is a traditionalist stuck in his ways, who would never give the mantle of the Demon to a woman and both Talia and Nyssa had been trained for this role since childhood, but on the other hand, she loves Ra's as her father. Ra's had lived since the age, when women were mainly good for living as maids or carrying babies, so it's very unlikely he would have given the Demon's Head's mantle to a woman.

If Talia had not been so devoted to her father and had not been the psycho she is in the show and in comic books, I can see her and Oliver getting together somehow, at least for a while but it is very likely that it would end up like with Bruce / Talia pairing, two parties hating each other for disapproval of each others’ methods and perceptions of the world. Even if Oliver and her got together somehow, I'm sure it would not last for long, mainly due to their differences of each others’ opinions.

So, while I understand why some fanfiction writers may want to pair them, I do not support this pairing. Though it makes me wonder, how would Oliver / Talia pairing work out if she had not been as unstable as in comic books and in the show? Though I honestly doubt I would ever write a story with such pairing, mainly due to my opinion on Bruce / Talia in Batman. Oliver / Talia pairing would probably be just as toxic but I am intrigued about how it could have been handled, if written properly.

I might consider writing stories with this pairing but it is very unlikely.

Dinah Drake / Vincent Sobel (Disapprove)
While the relationship intrigued me in Season 5, the revelation of Vigilante as Vincent Sobel in Season 6 was so stupid and it turned Dinah later into an unlikeable character and Vigilante as a character in Arrow pointless. What the hell were Guggenheim and Wendy thinking? Oh, wait, don't answer that, the answer is that they're both idiots.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it will be to call Dinah out on her relationship with Vigilante.

Tommy Merlyn / Laurel Lance (Earth-1) (Disapprove)
This one wasn't too bad but it was mainly a result of Oliver cheating on Laurel with Sara and it became a source of the "love triangle" crap in Season 1, which I am not a fan of, plus, there's the issue that Laurel still had feelings for Oliver, making Tommy bitter and jealous towards Oliver and it ultimately drove a wedge between both men until Oliver and Tommy reconciled, when Tommy died. Plus, I'm not much of a fan of two people getting together mainly out of grief after losing and mourning someone they both cared about.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Oliver Queen / Dinah Drake (Mixed opinion)
I've read some stories with this pairing and I think the concept could have been interesting, since Dinah was a lot like Helena Bertinelli, with Oliver helping her get her life straight and clean up her act. However, considering that she seemed more like a rebound after what happened with Laurel, both Earth-1 and Black Siren, it cheapens the concept of the pairing, plus Dinah didn't show a lot of redeeming qualities and she was ruined in Season 6, mainly because they revealed Vincent Sobel as Vigilante.

Concept could be interesting if the circumstances were different.

I might consider writing stories with this pairing but it is very unlikely.

The Flash

If I "disapprove" of the pairing, the verb says it all. If I "have a mixed opinion", that means that I would approve of it, if it had been handled differently than in the canon but currently I do not approve of it but would like to see a better handled, refined version of the relationship in fanfiction stories. I'm not gonna write stories with pairings I disapprove of, unless it is a breakup or to show why it would not work. If I have a mixed opinion about it, I would try a more improved and refined spin on the relationship in my stories.

I will not write stories with pairings I disapprove of, unless it is a breakup or to show why it would not work. If I have a mixed opinion about it, I would try to write a more improved and refined spin on the relationship in my stories. The only relationship in the show that I've had a mixed opinion on and would like to see a better handled version, was Caitlin / Julian, since I think it could have been handled better, the other pairings that I disapprove of that shall be mentioned below, I am not going write or read, ever unless it's gonna be a breakup, calling the partner out on something or to show why the relationship, in my opinion, would not work.

Wally West / Jesse Quick (Disapprove)
It was forced and rushed. They seemed like a cute couple BUT Jesse didn't care that much about Wally and she ditched him with a holo-message and their chemistry was forced. Plus, she has inherited her father's (Harry Wells') ego, alongside with intellect.

She is as smart as Harry, which is OK but her being a speedster gave her a huge ego boost and Wally deserves better than that.

I will not write stories with this pairing, unless I need to call Jesse out on her ego.

Caitlin Snow / Hunter Zolomon (Disapprove)
Frankly, even before the reveal that the fake Jay Garrick was actually Hunter Zolomon (Zoom), I did not care that much about the pairing. There certainly was attraction between these two, when Hunter was initially introduced as fake Jay Garrick. But, it seemed forced, there had been no chemistry between them at all and it felt like the showrunners needed to pick someone as a consolation prize for Caitlin after losing Ronnie and Hunter wasn't that much interesting as fake Jay Garrick even before the revelation. While she could bring some humanity in him, it felt stupid to try a romantic relationship between Caitlin and a psychopath like Hunter.

And it really seems like the showrunners would want to pair Caitlin with random characters that are not enough interesting.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Caitlin Snow / Harry Wells (Disapprove)
I think that the concept of this pairing is stupid and ridiculous and I wonder what people trying to ship them, are thinking and why fanfiction writers want to pair these two together is beyond me.. There were some moments, when some people would have thought there might be an attraction between them in Season 4. This pairing makes no sense to me though, since Harry is like a father figure to most of Team Flash and he often annoys Cisco and Caitlin with his arrogance and ego.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Caitlin Snow / Julian Albert (Mixed opinion)
This one wasn't bad, in my opinion but honestly, it was out of the sudden and it seemed forced and and in hindsight, I think happened mainly because the writers had no clue what to do with Julian, once his Alchemy part was resolved. And it also seems that they keep pairing Caitlin with random characters, first Hunter Zolomon (fake Jay Garrick), then Julian.

Personally, I did not mind the pairing too much but honestly, some people think it may have been forced and rushed and looking back, I don’t disagree, plus, there’s the fact that Julian is responsible for Caitlin turning into Killer Frost and in hindsight, their chemistry wasn't very strong. Honestly, I did think about writing a story with a more refined version of this pairing but my opinion about this pairing is too mixed to try to make Caitlin / Julian work out.

I might consider writing stories with this pairing but it is very unlikely.

Cisco Ramon / Caitlin Snow (Disapprove)
I've read some stories where people would want to pair these two. To me, this is stupid. Caitlin and Cisco have been best friends for years and are almost like brother and sister and I see no subtext or romantic chemistry between them.

Honestly, why would fanfiction writers want to make these two lovers?

This pairing will not be around in my stories.

Cisco Ramon / Gypsy (Disapprove)
Just because they have the same powers, it makes them a couple? Really?

They don't have really good chemistry and it felt forced and rushed, in my opinion, even though they looked cute and hilarious at some times. And their breakup in 4x20, while well done, was to add more senseless soap opera drama bullshit into the show and it turned Cisco into a whiner in the beginning of Season 5 to add more pointless soap opera drama crap.

This pairing will not be around in my stories.

Barry Allen / Iris West (Disapprove)
The relationship Barry Allen / Iris West shall be elaborated later below. While I support the pairing in the comic books, I don't like the execution of the pairing in the show and I wish they'd stop forcing this relationship down our throats, since it’s incest, considering they grew up under the same roof and the father/son bond between Joe and Barry and Iris treats Barry and everyone around badly and she gets away with it almost every time. And I see no chemistry between Grant Gustin and Candice Patton on-screen at all, only a complete idiot would support the pairing in the show, considering how has it been going down so far and I think that anyone who loves and supports WestAllen in The Flash, is a total idiot that needs to drop their blinders. If they were going to do Barry / Iris as the main pairing of The Flash, it should not have been executed the way I shall explain below.

In summary, considering they grew up together under the same roof and Joe is a father figure to both of them and on more than one occassion they have treated each other more like siblings rather than lovers, it is almost incest and it's disgusting. Iris does not understand Barry at all and treats him badly, they are more like brother/sister rather than romantic couple and Iris is a bad influence on him and there is no chemistry between these two. Plus, considering that Joe is a father figure to both of them, since both of them grew up under the same roof, it is so freaking weird, and their romance can be considered "incest", considering Joe is a father figure to both of them and I wonder why Joe of all people would support WestAllen, since Barry and Iris are more like brother and sister, rather than a romantic couple and Barry is obsessed with Iris to the point of stalking. The relationship with Iris causes for Barry to neglect everything else important to him in his life and Iris sometimes treats people around her like crap and she even treated Cisco and Caitlin like her lapdogs.

In Season 3 of The Flash, Barry is so focused on Iris that almost everything becomes a distant second and it strains his friendship with Cisco and Caitlin, which is the heart of The Flash. She also often treats Barry and everyone else like crap and her lackeys and gets away with it and she often is made as the one in the right, when she is anything but. While she has right to be upset, her actions are not vindicated or fair towards the people she lashes out on, at all. Also, whenever Oliver is in one room with Barry and Iris, Iris says how hot Oliver is, in front of Barry, when it obviously makes Barry feel very uncomfortable and there are more occassions, where she has treated Barry badly.

For example, Iris sabotaged Barry's relationship with Linda, while Iris was with Eddie. Accidentally or not, it wasn't cool. After Iris found out Barry's secret about being the Flash, she treated him so badly and then blamed him for Eddie being kidnapped by the Reverse-Flash and Joe by Grodd. Iris called off the engagement with Barry in Season 3, when she found out Barry had purposed to her, just to save her life. While I understood why she called it off, she did it right after Barry had been beaten up almost to the point of death by Savitar and Wally had been trapped in the Speed Force, which was a cruel low blow, tactless and inconsiderate towards Barry’s feelings. Another example is her forcing Barry to go for couples counseling, when she knows Barry hates shrinks, which is so freaking stupid in Season 4.

Sometimes I think the way Iris treats Barry is even worse than how Felicity treats Oliver and neither of the mentioned male characters have enough self-respect to stand up for themselves and call Felicity or Iris out on their crap. And frankly, just the fact that Barry is so obsessed with Iris to the point of stalking or that they were both raised by Joe, should make it obvious that this pairing cannot work.

I will never write Barry / Iris unless it is going to be a breakup, divorce, calling Iris out on something or showing why the pairing would not work.

The problems with WestAllen

I don't mind the relationship of Barry and Iris in the comic books but the way they execute it in Arrowverse and in The Flash overall is just perverse and I shall explain why. Overall, if the showrunners Berlanti, Kreisberg and Johns were gonna do pairing Barry / Iris like in comic books, they shouldn't have done it in a way that Barry and Iris had grown up together under the same roof and making Barry obsessed with Iris to the point of sabotaging any other relationships he's had with other girls and alienating himself from his best friends, Cisco and Caitlin. Sometimes I think that WestAllen in The Flash is much worse than Olicity in Arrow.

It reeks of incest:
Barry and Iris were raised in the same house as brother and sister. In the Pilot, Iris even says they are basically siblings. Numerous people have referred to Joe and Barry, including Joe and Barry themselves, as father and son. When Iris and Barry first got together, Barry was uncomfortable kissing Iris in front of Joe because, as he put it, "He's your...our...he's Joe."

It makes Barry look like a stalker:
Barry seems obsessed with the idea of being with Iris, to the point he is so fixated on her that he sabotages all other possible relationships. He himself said, "Sometimes great possibilities are right in front of us and we don't see them because we choose not to." And there is nothing to really justify Barry's obsession because this isn't like someone who can't get over a failed relationship, it's an obsession. Frankly, Barry's behavior could even be grounds for a restraining order.

Iris does not understand Barry:
The show certainly tries to make it seem like Iris knows Barry better than anyone else, considering they grew up under the same roof, but it's all just a trick. If she did, she'd have realized long before Barry told her that he had feelings for her. If she knew Barry at all, she would've suspected long before finding our he was The Flash that there was something going on with him.

It's clear from her actions from when Barry lost his memories and her anger at him over going into the Speed Force that she does not truly understand the burden Barry bears as the city's protector. She can walk away anytime she wants, Barry can't, not because of his powers, but its because of who he is as Barry Allen. Since she does not understand that, she does not understand who Barry really is.

Iris treats Barry badly:
Throughout Season 1, we see multiple occasions where Iris all but throws herself at Barry despite being with Eddie, then she uses being with Eddie as an excuse not to be with Barry, crushing poor Barry's heart. When Iris first finds out about Barry being the Flash, she raves at him and then blames him for Eddie being gone and then for Joe getting kidnapped by Grodd.

Also, one of the things I hate about Iris is that she admires how hot and handsome and sexy Oliver is, in front of Barry, when it obviously makes the latter uncomfortable.

When Iris finds out Barry only asked her to marry him to save her life, she calls off the engagement. This is understandable but she chooses to do this after Wally istrapped in the Speed Force and Savitar had beaten the crap out of Barry, which was undeserved, cruel and inconsiderate towards Barry from her.

Barry is already in immense physical and emotional pain when this happens, he didn't need this on top of everything else, especially considering she tells him by showing off her ringless finger. After Barry comes back from the Speed Force, she brings him to counseling, when she knows Barry hates shrinks, and blames him for leaving her when she knows he had no choice and Barry can't defend himself, because he would expose his secret.

Plus, her taking Nora's side and saying that Thawne was right and that she was OK with it, after it was revealed that Nora had been working with Thawne, despite knowing what Thawne had done to all of them, it made it obvious that she cares about no one but herself and that she treats Barry like crap. If anyone did not see Iris' selfishness in 5x19, they're total morons with blinders towards Iris and can go to hell.

Iris is not good for Barry:
The moment Iris and Barry got together, Barry became this selfish jackass who only cared about Iris, everything else was a distant second. Then, he becomes someone who for the most part, bows to Iris' whims. Whichever way you look at it, Barry becomes the worst version of himself when he is with Iris.

Barry cares about people, Iris doesn't:
One of the fundamental aspects of being the Flash and Barry as a character is that he cares about people a lot. However, from Iris' actions, such as flirting with Barry in front of Linda and Eddie, kissing Barry while dating Eddie, dating Eddie and trying to keep it from Joe, blaming Joe and Barry for Eddie being taken by Thawne, keeping Wally a secret from Joe, making Barry go to couples therapy when she know he hates shrinks, just to name a few, it is clear Iris has little consideration for other people. If she can't connect with Barry in that way, it makes you wonder what he even sees in her. Frankly, Thawne messing with the timeline the way he did must have really changed Iris' personality, because I don't think Barry would have any desire to be around Iris at all if he hadn't grown up with her.

Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl

I pretty much dislike all canon pairings that have appeared in Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl so far and I pretty much hate every romantic option for Kara that has appeared in the show so far. I don't dislike the romantic partners as characters but so far I have disliked every relationship Kara has had with them as a romantic partner in the show due to how the relationships were handled in the show. I will never write any pairings that have been canon in the show so far, save for maybe Brainy / Nia or Kara / Mon-El, if I can see how I can make the latter work out better.

Sara Lance / Leonard Snart (Disapprove)
I think that the whole Captain Canary thing around these two is plain stupid fan service. I can see why the fans would want to ship these two BUT throughout the entire Season 1 of Legends of Tomorrow there had been no chemistry between these two, save for some faint romantic tension, occasional banter, teasing and flirting but it didn't go anywhere beyond that. If there was any chemistry between them, it was faint at best. They may have grown to trust each other throughout the season and had some dynamic going on BUT neither of them had expressed any interest in each other or made a move onto each other until 1x15, where Snart sacrificed himself and Sara kissed him, which was rushed and fan service.

So, no, I honestly don't see how this would happen, given how it went down in the show. If it had been handled more realistically and not forced and rushed, I'd be OK with it.

Fan service ship and I don't support it, although maybe I would've if it had been done properly. I don't like the whole CaptainCanary thing or how it was handled in the show but if either of them had shown feelings for the other, I could see them make it work but they had little to no chemistry whatsoever in the show. If it had been handled properly, I would not have any problem with that. Them together was pure rushed fan service and neither of the characters had expressed their feelings until Snart sacrificed himself in 1x15, where he and Sara kissed each other.

If it had been handled more realistically and not forced and rushed, I'd be OK with it. There was no chemistry between them however, weak at best and neither of them showed any romantic feelings towards each other and it never went beyond more than friendly banter. I will never write stories with Sara / Snart pairing, since it’s too fan-serviced in my opinion and Crisis on Earth-X and Olicity have taught me a lesson: "Never write pairings purely fan-serviced, if you can’t properly develop them.". I don’t see how could Sara / Snart be properly developed.

I might consider writing stories with this pairing but it is very unlikely.

Sara Lance / Ava Sharpe (Disapprove)
Frankly, this was nothing more than fan service pairing with an original character created for the purposes of Legends of Tomorrow. I have nothing against original characters, if they are not Mary Sues or Gary Stus or are not ridiculously overpowered, making other main characters seem insignificant in comparison, or anything against pairing canon characters with original characters, if it is executed in proper pace and handled properly and realistically but I honestly think this pairing was rushed and forced by fans, who were shipping these two. Plus, once again, "Opposites attract." and I don't support those. * rolls eyes *.

I think the way it happened was too fast and I just don't like how it happened. Yes, there is some chemistry but it shouldn't have been rushed but I didn't have too big problems with it until later. I didn’t like this pairing but didn’t complain about it too much but I got a serious issue with this pairing, when it turned out that Ava was actually a clone, so I think it's just weird from that point onward. It was rushed but cute at first, now it’s just weird that Sara is in relationship with a clone, although I'm glad that they broke up in Season 4. I find it stupid that Sara continues the relationship with Ava when the latter is a clone. It was rushed but cute at first, now it’s just weird, although their chemistry is good but they keep shoving this pairing down our throats and I'm honestly tired of it. It wasn’t bad until the reveal that Ava was a clone. I will not write stories with such pairing though, ever because I am sick and tired of Legends of Tomorrow constantly reminding us that Sara is attracted to females more than males.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work and I'm tired of this pairing being shoved down our throats.

Sara Lance / Alex Danvers (Disapprove)
Nothing but fan-serviced pairing and I don't like most fan-serviced pairings, unless they are handled well and properly and not rushed. The hookup between these two in Crisis on Earth-X frankly annoyed me, I face-palmed when that happened, since it was so obvious they'd hook up and it almost made me vomit and punch the screen. OK, both of them are badass women with badass sisters they care about deeply but asides from that, I don't see it working out romance wise, asides from wanting to be a fan-serviced pairing.

I don't see this working out, since first of all they are two universes apart from each other and Sara often time travels, so the concept itself seems stupid to me and second of all, it's nothing more than stupid fan service ship and I hate most fan service ships, save for some rare exceptions. So, don't ever expect me to write stories with this pairing, since it's nothing but stupid fan service. I get why some people might want to ship them but the concept is stupid for me to actually care about it.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Carter Hall / Kendra Saunders (Disapprove)
They say that they are meant to be BUT, there was no chemistry at all between them in the show, so it seemed pointless.

And since I'm talking about Kendra, she seemed to be a promising character, when she was initially introduced in The Flash but, she kept on whining, "Such a long time ago, I was a barista, not some reincarnated Egyptian warrior demi-goddess." * rolls eyes * Want to put a gag on her for that or cut her tongue out. And Carter, he wasn't a very interesting character either.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Ray Palmer / Kendra Saunders (Disapprove)
Seemed forced, stupid and also fan-serviced ship and the only reason this pairing happened was to add pointless relationship drama in Season 1 of Legends of Tomorrow and I think their chemistry was weak at best. This pairing was pointless, in my opinion, plus Kendra as a character in general was annoying, I couldn’t stand her saying ”I’m a barista.” every five minutes.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Nate Heywood / Amaya Jiwe (Disapprove)
Same as Ray / Kendra, sudden, forced and rushed and I see almost no chemistry between them as a couple. They have nothing in common, asides from the respect they hold towards Nate's grandfather, who was a member of Justice Society of America, as much as Amaya, plus, a historian and a war hero from World War II? Really?

This may be a literal "screwing with history", plus it was pointelss because it was obvious at some point, Amaya would've had to return to her time, so she couldn't stick around with the Legends for long.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Nate Heywood / Zari Tomaz (Disapprove)
Their interactions are good, considering they're geeks too and I liked their interactions in 3x11 but the way they got together was nothing but sudden and rushed fan-serviced pairing. If it was more realistically handled, I'd be OK with it but Legends of Tomorrow apparently likes to do rushed stupid fan service ships out of the sudden, which annoys me.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Ray Palmer / Nora Darhk (Disapprove)
Honestly, I don't know how should I feel about this pairing. The interactions between Ray and Nora in the show are funny, considering that the actors, Brandon Routh and Courtney Ford, are actually married to each other and have a son together but that's probably the only reason they were paired together in the show. I actually try not to laugh anytime I see them interact with each other in Legends of Tomorrow because it is so hilarious to see a hero and a villain to interact with each other and anyone who knows that the actors are married to each other, can see the attraction and chemistry between them, which makes their interactions funny, if you know what are you looking at.

In Legends of Tomorrow Season 3, Ray found himself attracted to Nora somehow and there were moments, when Nora returned the affection too and he tried to set Nora straight and give her a better life. At first, she turned him down at every turn but when Damien Darhk sacrificed his life to save her, Nora showed some remorse and Ray helped her escape, when she was arrested and she showed him some appreciation by getting her life straight and later, turning herself in, as a penance for her crimes.

I get why the showrunners would want to go for it and I can understand the whole redemption thing but to me, it's more of the senseless romance stuff.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Kara Danvers / James Olsen (Disapprove)
The concept wasn't bad but this was a bit rushed and there was no chemistry between them. If it was a different version of Jimmy, I think there might be a chance between them but the version of Jimmy Olsen in the show is NOWHERE near the version we know and I don't like Supergirl version of Jimmy. The classic Jimmy is awkward geek and nerd. The version in the show is self-righteous bad-ass "vigilante" and can sometimes be arrogant "know-it-all" and he had a condescending attitude towards Lena Luthor, who is also Kara's best friend, at first. No. Freaking. Way.

I know that the TV adaptations of comic books like to take their own spin on the characters but I don't like Supergirl version of Jimmy. I don't see how Kara could be with him romantically, even though they have good dynamic as a team but no chemistry overall. But, James is able to admit he was wrong and has a sense of morality.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Kara Danvers / Winn Schott (Disapprove)
While I like Winn and he’s among my favorite characters in the show, sometimes he seems like Supergirl's Felicity and whiner. He's been Kara's best friend for years and out of nowhere, he tells her that he’s had feelings for her that he had bottled up for years and that strains their friendship for a while before they reconcile. No. Not OK at all.

They’re more like brother and sister and there's no chemistry between them as a couple. I think the reason Winn said that he was in love with Kara, was because showrunners wanted more pointless soap opera drama in the show.

This pairing will not be around in my stories.

Kara Danvers / Mon-El (Mixed opinion)
Their chemistry was OK, in my opinion, considering that the actors Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood started to date later after Melissa had filed for divorce from her back-then husband Blake Jenner but what I didn't like about Mon-El was his arrogance due to being a Daxamite and Kara being Kryptonian and it hit Kara's nerves sometimes and Mon-El pursued Kara like some kind of a prize at first. And despite the fact that both of them were working it out in Season 3 and his personality became more mature and humble and he learned to be more respectful to others, it just doesn't sit well with me, due to Mon-El already being married to Imra and it stopped any possible reestablished relationship but they did reconcile and were on good terms.

I don’t dislike this pairing as a concept but I dislike how it was handled in the show, I think it could have gone better, since it had potential. I don't see myself writing stories with this pairing, since there's too much baggage between them to work things out, in my opinion.

I might consider writing stories with this pairing but it is very unlikely.

Kara Danvers / Lena Luthor (Disapprove)
This pairing I've seen a lot in Supergirl section on AO3 and FF.net. Lena and Kara are best friends and they have good chemistry and I must admit, I see a sexual subtext in their interactions. However, it is very unlikely they will get together and honestly, I would find it, at best, very disturbing. I myself do not support SuperCorp but I can see why people would want to pair these two, when I’ve read some stories with Kara / Lena pairing.

But, I find this concept stupid and as I have mentioned before, writing homosexual pairings in fanfiction stories, when in canon in fandom, the paired characters are not actually in romantic relationship with each other, nor is it likely that they will be, is in my opinion stupid and insulting.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Alex Danvers / Maggie Sawyer (Disapprove)
Frankly, I think this pairing was pointless and their chemistry was forced and rushed. Basically, the only reason they were together was to make Alex realize she is lesbian and even then, Maggie didn't last in the show for long as they broke off their engagement after that mess that happened with her father at the beginning of Season 3.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

James Olsen / Lena Luthor (Disapprove)
Well, honestly, I don't dislike this pairing. Their chemistry is fine, however, it could have been handled better, due to James' initial attitude towards Lena due to her being a Luthor and I'm glad that they broke up, eventually. There had been little to no buildup in the relationship and it seems like a forced pairing, mainly because the showrunners apparently didn't know how to develop either characters further and make them more interesting.

This pairing will not be around in my stories, unless it's going to be to show why it cannot work.

Alex Danvers / Kelly Olsen (Mixed opinion)
Honestly, I think this is another forced fan-serviced pairing and I'm tired of it. I partly get why the showrunners did this but I don't care about this pairing and I think it's stupid. Kelly seems to relate to Alex a lot and she is very understanding because Kelly is a therapist. It was nice slow burn in Season 4 but it seemed predictable they got together. I don't really care about this pairing but I'm tired of the showrunners putting two characters randomly together. We'll see how it goes in Season 5 but I'm tired of the showrunners pairing two characters together because they think they might work, like a fan service ship, plus it's gonna feel really weird that Kara's sister and James's sister are dating together.

I might consider writing stories with this pairing but it is very unlikely.

What I didn't like about Arrow Season 3
- Killing off Sara
- Olicity centered soap opera drama
- Everyone disrespecting Oliver's authority and Oliver's loss of self-respect
- Laurel becoming arrogant, self-righteous and having a stick up her ass and disrespecting Oliver
- Diggle basically telling Oliver to go screw himself because Oliver kidnapped Lyla, which he had to do in order to gain League's trust
- Malcolm becoming an anti-villain, when he should be a full-time villain
- Felicity's hypocrisy about not telling Oliver about Ray building his ATOM suit which almost got Oliver arrested
- Oliver giving the mantle of Ra's al Ghul to Malcolm, which makes no sense, considering what Malcolm had done

What I didn't like about Arrow Season 4
- Olicity centered soap opera drama
- Felicity treating Oliver like crap and Oliver does not fight back, nor does anyone call her out on it
- Oliver's fighting skills significantly reduced and he struggles with taking down an ordinary thug like Lonnie Machin
- Damien Darhk being ridiculously overpowered with his magic, then nerfed without his magic. This made no sense, since Damien Darhk had been chosen as a candidate to a successor to Ra's al Ghul, then he was Ra's arch-nemesis, which should have made him one of the most dangerous fighters ever. Yet, without his magic, Oliver was able to kick his ass with no effort.
- Mishandling Malcolm as Ra's al Ghul, since the plotline seemed promising and they wasted so many opportunities with him and League of Assassins
- Marginalizing Nyssa's fighting skills to fit the plot, Nyssa was unable to defeat Malcolm, when she was training in the League since childhood, that does not make any sense
- Felicity flipping out on Oliver because of Oliver being forced to keep him a secret from her and her claiming that she should have been consulted, when she had no right whatsoever
- Diggle not being able to move past Oliver kidnapping Lyla and keeping secret the connection between Andy and H.I.V.E and being a jerk towards him
- Killing off Laurel - THAT was a big mistake and the last straw for me regarding Season 4 of Arrow

What I didn't like about Arrow Season 5
- Oliver being portrayed as serial killer, who enjoys killing - that contradicts with everything he has done so far as a vigilante
- Felicity knocking out Black Siren was outright ridiculous, Felicity ordering the newbies to attack Black Siren, when she had no authority whatsoever, Felicity freeing Cayden James and associating herself with cyberterrorist group
- Anatoly Knyazev becoming Oliver's enemy

What I didn't like about Arrow Season 6
- Oliver being under investigation and getting impeached
- Vigilante revealed to be Vincent Sobel, Dinah Drake's former partner and lover. I mean, seriously?! This ruined Dinah as a character and Vigilante too
- Dinah, Rene and Curtis feeling betrayed for Oliver spying on them, when Rene was testifying against him and they all abandoned him for that, when Oliver had valid reasons to put them under surveillance
- Diggle being a jerk towards Oliver again, mainly due to Oliver's leadership skills and Diggle jealous of Oliver taking his G.A. role back after giving it to Diggle, while Oliver wanted to focus on father role to William
- Dinah, Rene and Curtis beating up Quentin and almost killing Thea for protecting Black Siren, when Dinah was out for revenge for Black Siren killing Vince, which Laurel did reluctantly and showed remorse later over killing Vince
- Ricardo Diaz beating Oliver in fistfight, since all we know is that Diaz had a rough childhood and don't get me started on Oliver's combat skills, he’s been trained by Yao Fei, Shado, Slade Wilson, in A.R.G.U.S., by Bratva (Russian mob) and by Ra’s al Ghul and Talia al Ghul.
- Oliver being arrested and going to prison
- Felicity did not annoy me anymore in Season 6 and she seemed to be much more tolerable. The only time she did annoy me was when she insulted Nyssa in 6x16

What I didn't like about Arrow Season 7
- The Longbow Hunters not being as impressive as they seemed to be from their implied reputation
- Emiko revealed as the New Green Arrow and the theme of Robert's sins coming back to haunt the entire family - It's a cliche and repetitive theme at this point
- Mia being Oliver's and Felicity's daughter. I gave pass Olicity in Season 6 but I wish Oliver / E-1 Laurel or Oliver / Sara had been the endgame of the show. Plus, with Oliver apparently dying in Crisis on Infinite Earths and how much Star City went to crap in the flashforwards, they’re making all the losses and sacrifices Oliver had endured and made throughout the show, worth nothing.
- Diaz's prolonged lifespan. I wish he had died in 7x07 and not seven episodes later.
- Dinah treating Earth-2 Laurel like a villain in 7x16, despite that Laurel was innocent and Earth-2 Laurel going rogue and becoming Black Siren briefly again in 7x18
- Emiko redeeming herself and turning on the main villains in 7x22. I'm not opposed to Emiko's redemption, more to that the redemption was rushed. Redemption of the main villains is honestly cliche and repetitive at this point and Emiko's redemption has been the fastest so far and her reasons for redemption were weak at best, in my opinion.

What I don't like about The Flash
- Barry / Iris soap opera drama and Iris being quite bitchy to him, in the show Barry and Iris grew up together under the same roof and Joe is a father figure to both of them and this pairing screams "incest". If they were gonna do Barry / Iris pairing in the show, they should not have done it in a way that Barry and Iris were both raised under the same roof and it seems that Iris does not understand Barry as much as the showrunners want her to portay to and Iris often treats him and everyone else in Team Flash like lackeys, or in worse cases like crap and no one ever or rarely calls her out on her crap and still it does not affect her and she keeps treating everyone badly
- Iris being the "leader" of Team Flash is stupid, alongside with Iris putting herself in danger in 4x01 to get Barry to come to his senses and no one calls her out for that

What I don't like about Legends of Tomorrow
- The show has often reminded us of Sara's attraction to girls, either by Sara making out or sleeping with another woman, flirting with her or someone making a remark about Sara into girls, which has been shoved down our throats. Plus, Sara in the show barely resembles Sara that was initially introduced into Arrow, since she doesn't seem to care about her family at all, since she did not visit Quentin when he almost died in Arrow 5x23 and she instead slept with Alex before Barry's and Iris's wedding, plus she's developed bossy, reckless, womanizing attitude.
- The ridiculousness and absurdness of the show reaching new limits. It was fun in Season 3, then it was a bit too much for my taste in Season 4.

What I don't like about Supergirl
- Supergirl often pushes political agenda and SJW propaganda, plus it sometimes gets wasted on senseless soap opera drama, such as Alex discovering she is gay or Kara's issues with relationships with James or Mon-El or Winn etc.

Why the Arrowverse has been an epic fail:

Have you ever felt a deep emotional pain that wouldn't go away? Like you were watching someone you cared about be tortured until they were left begging for death? Well, that's what watching the Arrowverse has been like the last few years. What happened to it? It had so much potential, how could it go so wrong? Well, here I attempt to explain the mistakes that have led to a franchise that quiet simply cannot be saved.

Bad casting:
The best examples of this are Candice Patton as Iris West and Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak. I don't have anything against either actress but the producers should have gone with different people. She cannot bring the Iris West from the comics to life. And she has no chemistry with Grant Gustin and consider the show is built around a love story between Iris and Barry, it's clear she was the wrong choice.

On the other hand, Emily Bett Rickards is just not a good actress, especially when it comes to emotional scenes. Every time she's on screen, it just feels like Felicity is acting, not like Felicity is a character. And she cannot do emotional scenes at all, so every scene that has to have Felicity become emotional is therefore ruined. When you compare her acting to the acting of Katie Cassidy and Willa Holland, there is simply no comparison. That's how good acting should look like.

Bad treatment of male and female characters:
This is most clear on Arrow and Supergirl. However, I am an open-minded person and I am willing to give people second chances.

On Arrow, Laurel, Felicity, Diggle and Oliver are good examples of the showrunners treating the characters badly.

Dinah Laurel Lance
I love Katie Cassidy, she is among my favorite actresses but honestly, I wonder why would she agree to play Laurel during her less likeable moments, as I shall mention below. Laurel was a good character in Season 1, despite how badly she treated Oliver, as much as it was understandable and parts of Season 3 and a great character in Season 4, despite having no actual storyline for that season. But in Season 2, she was a waste of a character. Her whole drug addiction arc where she a raving bitch to everyone, especially Oliver and Sara, made her very unlikable. And Season 3 really did nothing to fix this until the last quarter of it.

In mid-Season 3-beginning of Season 4, Laurel became arrogant and self-righteous due to her taking the role of Black Canary and Sara's mantle mainly due to grief. She used Oliver saving Thea with Lazarus pit as an excuse to justify her bringing back Sara from the dead without knowing the consequences.

Plus, (and I'm sorry about this, I love Laurel but I'm stating the facts here) a few weeks of boxing lessons with Ted Grant and a few weeks of training with Nyssa doesn't make her good enough to beat members of League of Assassins or H.I.V.E. and the Ghosts and she's gotten so high of a level of an ego and arrogance and self-righteousness, that she believed that just because she calls herself the Black Canary, she's automatically as good as Sara. * Laughs * , no, she's not. I'm sorry for saying this, I love Laurel but she's a plain example of how were the characters in Arrow mistreated.

Felicity Megan Smoak
Felicity, despite the bad acting of Emily Bett Rickards, was a very likeable character the first two seasons. Then Seasons 3-5 completely rewrote her character until she was a selfish, hypocritical, disrespectful person who whined and, in the long run, only seemed to care about herself and what she wanted and had no time for what anyone else wanted. Oliver throughout the first two seasons was a strong character who did what he thought was right regardless of what anyone else told him. He didn't take anyone's crap and went to do what he had to in order to protect his city.

But in Season 3, in moments where he would previously call someone out, he would just take criticism from Felicity that was entirely unjustified. When Diggle was being a hypocrite, he would not say anything. It got a lot worse in Season 4 though. The entire team would disrespect him multiple times Felicity would undermine his authority as leader and be emotionally abusive to him. He was shown to be smart in Seasons 1-2, but Seasons 3-4 attempt to convince you that he is stupid. He just sits there and takes it when Felicity is just a bitch to him, showing that Oliver has no self-respect. Also, Felicity was a big hypocrite regarding keeping secrets from others. She was being a bitch to Oliver, when he was forced to keep a secret from her about having a son, when it was the only way Oliver could have a relationship with him, while she kept a secret from him that she was helping Team Arrow behind his back for five months between Seasons 3-4 and also about creating a super-virus that almost destroyed the entire city.

John Diggle
Diggle can be an OK character but he is often very inconsistent, like Felicity is. Throughout the series, Diggle was Oliver's right hand, best friend, moral compass and confidante. When it mattered, Diggle was able to set Oliver straight, when he didn't have his priorities straight or when he had a crisis of identity or needed some guidance. But in Seasons 3-4, he became an Olicity counselor, which is on the showrunners. However, his character started to bug me a lot, when Oliver had to kidnap Lyla in order to gain trust of Ra's al Ghul and the League of Assassins, Diggle straight-up told Oliver in his face to go to hell and criticized him for trusting Malcolm Merlyn more than his own team.

Considering that Diggle knew exactly what the League of Assassins was capable of, he shouldn't have to take it out on Oliver. Though I could understand that Diggle was enraged and felt that Oliver crossed a line, when he kidnapped Lyla and left their daughter alone in their home, he wasn't able to get over it for 5-6 months and still treated Oliver like crap even the first three episodes of Season 4 until he came around, he kept a secret the connection between H.I.V.E. and Andy, when Oliver brought up that Damien Darhk leads the mentioned organization. Keeping this secret could have easily compromised the entire team. Also, Diggle can be a hypocrite, when he criticized Oliver about having a blind spot regarding his mother in Season 1, when the same issue was with Diggle and Andy in Season 4, which ultimately was what got Laurel killed.

Another issue came up in Season 5, when he criticized his wife Lyla for keeping in lockup in black site Cayden James, a leader of hacktivist terrorist group with no due trial. Seriously?! An army veteran, whose wife is a director of a black ops government agency has a problem with that? There's no logic to this, especially, when Diggle helped Oliver lock up Digger Harkness and Slade Wilson in A.R.G.U.S. prison on Lian Yu.

Then, in Season 6, another issue came with Oliver and Diggle in 6x17, when Diggle was upset that Oliver took away the Green Arrow mantle from him and he criticized Oliver for stretching himself so thin and into so many directions (being a mayor, a father and the Green Arrow, a husband etc.) that the people around him suffer and that Oliver's way of leadership causes him to alienate everyone close to him, when Oliver did the best he could in a bad situation. And Diggle crossed one hell of a line, when he accused Oliver of leaving a trail of bodies everywhere he goes and that Oliver is to blame for Samantha's death because of a bad decision Oliver made. And in Season 7, Diggle became a hypocrite, when he offered Diaz a deal behind Lyla’s back and without her permission abd basically forced her to reinstate Task Force X, the Ghost Initiative, a revamped Suicide Squad.

Malcolm Merlyn
In Season 1, he was portrayed as classic textbook, delusional, megalomaniacal psychopath. Then, in Season 2, he seemed to show some level of remorse and love, when he saved Thea. But, in Season 3, his psychopathy and insanity is proven again, when he drugged Thea and manipulates her into killing Sara and leverage Oliver into fighting Ra's al Ghul. It was understandable that Oliver needed Malcolm's help to beat Ra's, since Malcolm knew the League of Assassins better than anyone BUT what bugs me was the way he was showing his “love”, when a maniac like Malcolm is incapable of true love.

And, what completely pisses me off is that after everything that Malcolm had put Oliver through, Oliver lets him become the next Ra's al Ghul and leader of the League of Assassins. Malcolm put a bomb on Queen's Gambit, he had Oliver's father killed and he manipulated Thea into killing Sara. That's just stupid on so many levels, Oliver should have killed him, when the thing with the League was over. Also, Malcolm being the new leader of the LoA seemed promising but nothing interesting in regards to the League happened in Season 4, asides from the League Civil War with Nyssa and Malcolm letting Laurel and Thea resurrect Sara. The plot with Malcolm being the leader of LoA was so promising and the showrunners wasted it.

And in 5x22-23, Malcolm returned to help Oliver save Thea, mainly because he still loves his own daughter. But his exit in 5x23 was stupid. After everything he has done, he goes out as a hero, sacrificing himself to save Thea? That seemed so stupid to me and he deserved worse.

On one hand, I think that Malcolm's a complex character and in his own way he means well but on the other hand, he was responsible for death of hundreds of people, including his own son and forced Thea into the darkness by having her kill Sara. Malcolm should have died at the end of Season 3, Oliver giving him the ring of the Demon makes no sense at all and his redemption arc was a load of crap, since Malcolm is in my opinion an irredeemable psychopath.

Roy William Harper Jr.
In comic books, Roy is Oliver's sidekick and they have mentor-protégé relationship, just like with Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson. In the show, Roy was introduced as Thea's boyfriend on whom Oliver had to keep a close eye on and eventually he grew fond of him. Roy at first initially disliked Oliver, since he considered Thea another trust fund brat and by extension Oliver too but after Oliver saved his life as the Hood and put him under his wings, when Roy was dosed with Mirakuru, Roy looked up to Oliver and eventually, by the end of Season 2, Roy became Oliver's sidekick, just like in canon and he and Thea clearly fell in love with each other.

However, what bugs me is that they wasted a lot of potential on the character, since his role as Arsenal lasted just one season as Colton Haynes had to leave the show due to health issues and end of his contract, which is pity and they never properly explained the character's backstory, all we know is that he grew up on the streets. Although I appreciate him returning in Season 7, a lot of potential seemed to be wasted on the character.

Oliver Jonas Queen
What bothers me is that Oliver lost his self-respect in Season 3-4 around his teammates, letting them be arrogant and act superior towards Oliver and mainly around Felicity, who treated him like crap and emotionally abused him throughout Season 3-4. The biggest examples are her lashing out on him over the comms at 4x06, where everyone from Team Arrow hears the argument and 4x15, when she broke up with him because he didn't tell her about William, when Oliver was put in a difficult situation from which he tried to make out the best. In Season 6, though, he grew more of a backbone and didn't take anyone's shit and called everyone out on their actions.

In Season 5 there was a "confession" that he likes killing. Well, if it's true, then that means that Oliver is a psychopath and it is completely out of his character. In 1x03, Oliver told Floyd Lawton (Deadshot) that he kills for a good of others and in 1x08, he told Helena Bertinelli (Huntress) that he kills only when it is absolutely necessary. None of this makes any sense. If Oliver liked killing, he would have killed everyone he has faced and his body count would have been to hundreds at this point. Oliver killed only when he had no other option left, so this confession is in my opinion total bullshit.

Marginalizing Oliver's fighting skills as they see fit to the plot:
Also, Seasons 1-2 showed that Oliver was basically one-man army and in Season 4 he is overpowered by an ordinary thug like Lonnie Machin? That’s just stupid. Also, the same issue is in Season 5 with Tobias Church, although I’ll give the show a benefit of doubt, since Church was bigger and more muscular than most people Oliver has faced. The same issue is in Season 6 with Oliver Queen fighting Ricardo Diaz. I'll again give the show benefit of the doubt in this case. Diaz had a rough childhood and had to survive in harsh terms, so I can see him holding his own against Oliver for a few moments but Diaz almost wiped the floor with him in one-on-one fight and when Oliver almost defeated Diaz, he cheated by using a knife and Oliver was beaten but not before Oliver did a number on him too. But come on, Oliver is able to withstand a lot more than that and there is no background on Diaz’s fighting skills and before anyone brings up the Longbow Hunters, they hadn’t met with Diaz until 6x23.

The same thing about marginalizing the fighting skills could be said about Nyssa al Ghul, who effortlessly beat Malcolm in Season 3, yet she was unable to come to as close as a killing blow, when sparring with Malcolm in Season 4 and she needed Oliver’s help in defeating him and depose him of the title of Ra’s al Ghul. Malcolm himself saw Nyssa train when she was a child and she’s the daughter of Ra’s, yet she is unable to beat him in Season 4? This is so illogical and insulting towards Nyssa.

Portraying Oliver Queen as the ultimate villain of Arrow:
Also, what I don’t like is how the showrunners seem to constantly portray Oliver as the main villain of his own show. Slade blaming Oliver for Shado’s death and tormenting him for it, I can understand that due to the Mirakuru driving Slade mad.

In Season 3, however, Felicity was totally disrespectful towards Oliver because of his allegiance with Malcolm. Oliver needed Malcolm’s help, since Malcolm knew the League of Assassins better than anyone else, yet Felicity kept protesting at every single turn. Diggle basically told Oliver to go screw himself because Oliver kidnapped Lyla and left their daughter alone in order to gain Ra’s trust and was still a jerk about it even at the beginning of Season 4. Between Season 3-4, Diggle had more than enough time to understand and forgive Oliver, since Oliver was undercover and Diggle knew exactly what was the League of Assassins capable of, so what Oliver did was in my opinion a necessary evil.

Felicity broke up with Oliver in Season 4 because Oliver did not consult with her sending William away, when Felicity has no right at all to decide about William’s life.

In Season 5, Adrian Chase (Prometheus) forced Oliver to “confess” that he enjoys killing and as I have mentioned before, this contradicts with everything that has happened in the show.

In Season 6, per Oliver's orders, Felicity was spying on Curtis, Rene and Dinah, since one of them was about to testify against Oliver as the Green Arrow and they all left the team, feeling betrayed, blaming Oliver, when Oliver had valid reasons.

Oliver had a choice between saving Vigilante (Vincent Sobel) and stopping Cayden James’ plan. Oliver chose the latter, since saving Vince would mean walking into a trap, resulting in Vince’s death at the hands of Black Siren and Dinah Drake blamed Oliver for it, when it was a choice between the entire city and one man, who also had a healing factor. What would anyone else have done at Oliver’s place? I get that she was mad at Oliver because he was in his way responsible for her lover's death but come on, Curtis and Rene siding with her on that?

Then there’s the whole “making Black Siren return the money she stole”. Oliver might have had a chance to get through to her but Dinah, Curtis and Rene almost killed Black Siren and beat the living crap out of Quentin, a 40-year old man with a heart condition, and Oliver was forced to beat up Rene, causing for his injuries from 6x01 to reopen. Curtis and Dinah were mad at Oliver, when Oliver was holding back the whole time and he gave EVERY CHANCE for Rene to stand down.

Then there’s argument between Oliver and Diggle and being the Green Arrow in 6x17. Like I mentioned earlier, Diggle accused Oliver of causing people around him to suffer and complaining that he took away from Diggle the mantle of the G.A.

In Season 7, Oliver's past apparently comes back to haunt him again, with Sam Hackett, son of David Hackett, the captain that Robert had killed on the lifeboat, out on revenge and Emiko trying to destroy everything the Queen's stand for. At this point, the whole "past coming back to haunt" and "sins of the father" is cliche and repetitive and boring.

Supergirl is also a good example of this, all their male characters get treated horribly.

James was not very likable in Season 1, but in Season 2 he becomes a jerk whose storyline can be summed up as "I don't feel important, so I'm gonna become a superhero for...reasons." and is condescending towards Lena Luthor, who is trying to redeem her family name and both of them are Kara's best friends. In Season 1, Winn reveals he has feelings for Kara, which puts a strain on their friendship. The following episode, Kara rants to Alex about it, as though it is Winn's fault he has these feelings. Martian Manhunter and Superman are constantly made to look inferior to Kara. Mon-El was an interesting character the first few episodes until the writers turned him into a sexist douche when he had not shown any signs of that prior.

Also, there's Alex Danvers, Kara's adoptive sister. I liked her at first but in Seasons 2-3, there was Alex discovering her sexuality and coming out as lesbian and then starting her relationship with Maggie, which consumed most of the Seasons 2-3. Plus, sometimes she's got a bossy attitude and quite a temper, as shown in Season 3.

Using the shows to push a political agenda:
Read Supergirl. The entire show is basically to push a feminist agenda on the viewers. Cat Grant, in Season 2, even gives a speech about how much better than men women are. In Season 2, the Cadmus plot was very interesting. Then it becomes a platform to basically tell impressionable young minds that illegal immigration is okay and if anyone says otherwise, they are evil. Then there's Alex, who throughout Season 2 began developing feelings for Maggie and eventually realize that she is lesbian and decided to come out, which was an unnecessary sublot of the entire Season 2 of Supergirl. Or 3x21, the whole episode was also basically an anti-gun propaganda.

But Arrow has done this to, as 5x13 was basically an episode done to simply push a pro-gun control agenda. In Season 2 of Legends of Tomorrow, we are constantly reminded of the fact that Sara is attracted to women, if not by her expressing an interest in one, then by one of the other characters saying something about it. It's like they think we're stupid and forgot but, more likely, the writers just want to talk about how great it is that she's bisexual because they did the same thing with Curtis being gay in Season 5 of Arrow. I am not a homophobic person but it annoys me that they keep reminding us of same-sex attractions.

Turning the shows into a soap opera:
Arrow is the best example of this. After episode 3x12, the writer's simply started focusing less on plot and more on romantic relationships, the relationship between Oliver and Felicity in particular. This continued in Season 4, where Olicity, their ship name, is the storyline that got the most focus. The same thing happened in Season 3 of The Flash, Iris and Barry's relationship is the main storyline.

Again in Legends of Tomorrow Season 1, the relationship between Ray and Kendra, as well as the triangle with Carter, started getting too much focus. Supergirl Season 2, the relationships between Kara and Mon-El and Alex and Maggie basically took over the show. If viewers wanted to watch a show about romance, they would watch a soap opera but they aren't, they're watching a show that is supposed to be about superheroes being heroes, not about the trials of their romantic lives.

Favorite Games:
- Assassin's Creed Series (Ezio Trilogy, AC3, Black Flag, Syndicate and Odyssey are those I have enjoyed the most so far. Origins was great too but the storyline there did not intrigue me as much. Unity wasn't that good and it was more love story focused.)

Characters in Dragon Age: Origins and Pairings:

Alistair Theirin
Templar warrior. Alistair was raised as bastard son of King Maric of Ferelden. The reason he wasn't acknowledged as an heir was mainly due to politics, so Maric sent him off to Arl Eamon of Redcliffe and later, he trained to be a templar. However, Alistair was disillusioned by this life before Duncan, Commander of the Grey, conscripted him into the Grey Wardens. Duncan became some sort of a father figure to Alistair and Alistair looked up to him.

Alistair is ashamed of his origins as bastard son and does not initially like the idea of being the King of Ferelden, this can however be changed, depending on the player's choices in the game as the player has a choice to develop a friendly relationship with Alistair and eventually persuade him that being the King is not such a bad idea at all and Alistar may become more open to the possibility and is more eager to learn the art of governing.

Alistair has a sense of humor as well and likes to crack jokes often but when it comes down to it, he is serious and has mind of honorable warrior and strategist with a chevalier attitude towards women. As a romance option for Female Warden, I think he is a suitable choice.

As for outcomes of the game, personally, I would prefer either if Alistair remained Warden or IF Alistair becomes the King of Ferelden, then that would be with Anora as Queen and the Female Warden, his romance companion as mistress. Frankly, I don't like the idea of TWO Grey Wardens governing at once and Anora is more experienced politician and could teach Alistair the art of governing.

Leliana
Rogue bard. Leliana used to be an Orlesian bard and an assassin for hire. She was a daughter of a servant of an Orlesian noble, who became interested in Fereldan stories, ballads and songs that she had learnt about from servants and tutors. When Leliana was sixteen, she met Marjolaine, a wealthy widow and patroness of the arts. Fascinated by Marjolaine's world and daring, the two of them became close frients, Marjolaine taught Leliana how to hunt and the way of the bard. "Bard" in DA is not a typical poet and artist as you might imagine, in DA, bards are minstrels but also rogues trained in ways of espionage, sabotage, subterfuge and assassination.

In the following years, Leliana and Marjolaine became a group of mercenaries and eventually, Leliana fell in love with Marjolaine. However, all of that changed, when Marjolaine helped her with a job that was leading to treason to Fereldan, as Leliana discovered the true nature of the job, Marjolaine mortally wounded her, betrayed her and left her to die. Leliana barely made it out and had some satisfaction and vindication in killing one of the people involved in the plot. However, she never sought out Marjolaine for revenge and instead ran into Chantry in Lothering, where she sought refuge in the following years and became a lay sister, having found faith.

When Leliana was first introduced to the Warden in the game, she is portrayed to be mentally unstable, as she believed that she was meant to help the Warden in his/her quest due to Leliana's vision granted by the Maker. Leliana proved herself to believe in the Maker and tried to see good in people, such as assassin Zevran Aranai, who was assigned to kill the Warden (I shall discuss him further later).

Depending on interactions with her, Leliana is portrayed to be emotional person as she is a bard and storyteller and she likes to say love stories and she approves of good deeds. She is firm in her faith in the Maker.

When Marjolaine returned and Leliana wanted to settle old scores with her former lover, there was a choice between letting Marjolaine go or killing her, ending the vendetta once and for all. After Marjolaine's death, Leliana seemed to be visibly shaken and also having crisis of faith, not sure if her belief in the Maker was just her imagination. The Warden may encourage her that she's not slipping and she needs to accept who she is. As the story progress, they clearly fall in love with each other.

Alistair and Leliana are the only two viable romantic options I approve of in Dragon Age: Origins.

Morrigan
An apostate shapeshifter mage with pragmatic attitude of "survival of the fittest" but despite her apparent moral ambiguity and indifference to others, she is able to soften around and has her own moral limits, as much as she tries to show herself as tough and hardened. It's cute how she softens around later. I like her as a character but as a romance option, not that I do not approve at all but a sane person would not get along well with her pessimistic/realistic attitude, unless the person's mindset is pragmatic, "Whatever it takes to survive, no matter what."

However, she is shown in Dragon Age: Origins and in Dragon Age: Inquisition to have a soft side as well. Overall, as a character I like her but as a romance option, it's not my preference, although the concept is intriguing.

Zevran Aranai
An elven rogue assassin forced into this life in childhood and a son of a prostitute and a woodcutter, orphaned in childhood. Tricked into killing a fellow assassin and a good friend, Rinna, by another fellow assassin and friend, Taliesen. The trio was romantically involved. When assigned by Loghain on a task to assassinate the Warden, Zevran was ready to die, disillusioned by his assassin life, however, he was eager to redeem himself by joining the Warden's quest. Zevran is shown to have a sense of humor and openly flirts with others for fun. He does not necessarily pursuit a serious relationship and can be an enjoyable companion. As a romance option, not that I mind him but he's more fun as a friend.

Sten
Cold, stoic, emotionless (at first impression) behemoth Qunari warrior. Has a sense of honor and is practical, seeing that helping others is a waste of time and would rather focus on the task. However, under this demeanor is a man, trying to redeem his honor after he lost his sword and can be proven to be a loyal and true companion, once the Warden has found it.

Wynne
Mother-like character and an old mage, who offers wisdom and advice. I like her character.

Cullen Rutherford
Templar knight, who has appeared in all three video games so far. In Dragon Age: Origins, he was tormented by blood mages and tortured, causing for him to dislike mages and was willing to wipe out the entire Circle Tower of Magi full of mages to prevent the risk of them being possessed by demons. I don't exactly blame him.

Oghren
Dwarf berserker warrior. All I can say is there's a load of fun with this character. If you are not familiar with Dragon Age but are familiar with Lord of the Rings, just imagine Gimli.

Shale
Golem who's trying to restore her true form. I can't honestly say anything interesting about her.

Loghain Mac Tir
A master strategist, warrior, war hero, who also left his king, Cailan to die, mainly because the king went on with a plan that would, strategically speaking, be suicide. Loghain then took over the rule over Ferelden, despite his own daughter Anora being the Queen and Cailan's widow, allowing elves in the Alienage to be sold to slavery to fund the civil war he had caused, poisoned Arl Eamon, who potentially could have set his plans back, and even imprisoned his own daughter, the Queen, when she realized his insanity.

However, if decided by the Warden, Loghain can be conscripted into the Grey Wardens and depending on the interactions with him, he shows true remorse and eagerness to earn forgiveness and redeem himself and later, he becomes a truly honorable companion, who is willing to diligently serve as the Warden as a penance for his sins.

On one hand, I think he does deserve to die but on the other hand, I am a supporter of redemption and Loghain is truly willing to make up for his past sins and later in Dragon Age: Inquisition, he is shown to truly have reformed and it is apparent, that he will spend the rest of his life as a Grey Warden, to atone for his crimes.

Nathaniel Howe
Skilled rogue hunter archer. Son of Rendon Howe, Loghain's right hand, who slaughtered an entire noble house, save for two children. He's lost everything and his family became pariahs and he is willing to redeem his family name in service of Grey Wardens. An entire family should not have to suffer for sins of one and I like his character.

What I would like to see is a romance between Nathaniel Howe, son of the man responsible for wiping out almost an entire House Cousland, save for Fergus and Cousland Warden, who would be a female. I mean, Rendon Howe was Bryce Cousland's friend before betraying him and Nathaniel then became a pariah because of his father's sins and Female Cousland would be trying to restore her family's glory, while attempting not to hate Nathaniel for his father's crimes. You have to admit that the romance between them would be an interesting concept and I wish the game had exploited that.

Anders
Mage healer. In Dragon Age: Origins, he was an apostate mage with cute sense of humor and I liked him but eventually I started to hate him in Dragon Age 2 and I shall explain why later below in Dragon Age 2 section of my bio.

Spirit of Justice
Creepy character, who sees things in absolute and black and white.

Sigrun
Casteless dwarven warrior, member of Legion of the Dead. Wants to honor her duty to the group by fighting the darkspawn and dying in the good fight. All I can say is that's crazy.

Velanna
An elven mage, who was willing to kill innocent humans in her misguided belief they had abducted her sister, when the humans were framed. And she wanted to become a Grey Warden, only to hunt down the darkspawn, who were truly responsible for her sister's missing. "Crazy" got a new level with this one, I say.

Favorite Characters in Dragon Age: Origins
Alistair, Morrigan, Leliana, Wynne, Sten, Oghren, Nathaniel Howe, Zevran Aranai, Anders

Preferred Romances in Dragon Age: Origins:
- Male Warden / Leliana or Female Warden / Leliana (Leliana is my favorite romance option)
- Female Warden / Alistair
- Female Warden Cousland / Nathaniel Howe (pairing I would like to see happen, even though no characters in Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening are a romance option)

Other than that, I don't support any non-canon pairings and certainly no incest or slash fics, such as Leliana / Morrigan, Alistair / Zevran, Nathaniel Howe / Anders etc.

Characters in Dragon Age 2 and Pairings:

Varric Tethras
Surface dwarf, merchant, writer and storyteller, who likes to solve things diplomatically but is not shy of outright lies and blackmail, if necessary but tries to avoid aggresivness if possible and would prefer to talk his way out of trouble. Has a trademark crossbow named “Bianca”, after his sister. Occassionally jokes and instead of using names, he gives his companions nicknames, such as "Daisy" for Merrill, "Broody" for Fenris, "Sunshine" for Bethany etc. Beneath this thug-like exterior however hides a family man, who cares about his own brother, despite the fact that he had lost his mind and betrayed him and left him to die, willing to get him help in an asylum. Perfect bromance companion.

Bethany Hawke
Hawke's (Main character's) younger sister and Carver's fraternal twin. An apostate mage on the run from the Circle, who wants to only protect her family and keep a low profile, trying hard not to be hunted down by Templars. Also has a sense of morality and honor as she generally approves of acts of kindness, siding with family, protecting loved ones. She restrains herself from using forbidden blood magic and communing with demons. Very kind character and good sister. My preferred sibling.

As a Circle Mage, she's just a victim. As a Grey Warden, she tries to help others as much as she can within her power.

Carver Hawke
Hawke's (Main character's) younger brother and Bethany's fraternal twin. Prideful, aggresive warrior with an inferiority complex, who's trying to prove himself and approves of things that would help family. However, he does not like "selfless" acts, with the exception of family, as I have mentioned, such as helping others without reward but gladly helps fellow Fereldan refugees or other actions that would appeal his own pride. Also, Carver would prefer siding with Chantry, rather than mages, who are on the run and in hiding but is not completely without reason and is able to discern the right choice from wrong.

As a Templar, he becomes a pompous ass with a high level of arrogance and superiority. As a Grey Warden, he finds a sense of duty he had been looking for alongside with sense of honor and understands better the concept of selflessness and is more eager to help others, gaining humility. Not my favorite sibling but I can understand him.

Aveline Vallen
Dutiful soldier, warrior, kind, with a sense of honor and morality, valuing friendship and family. A very enjoyable companion.

Anders
Now, I liked Anders in Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening, mainly because of his sense of humor. Anders then left the Wardens, disillusioned with the fight against the darkspawn. However, in Dragon Age 2, he was possessed by Spirit of Justice and the spirit's nature was warped by Anders' rage towards the Templars' mistreatment of mages and Anders became a zealot, who, frustrated by how Templars were abusing their power and oppressing the mages, decided to take things into his own hands, trying to instigate a mage rebellion and blew up the Chantry, killing hundreds of people, including Grand Cleric and inevitably triggering the holy war of Templars against Mages. Nothing can justify what he did, he deserved to die. Honestly, as a romance option, considering his zealotry, no freaking way.

Merrill
Elven mage, stuck in the past, trying to restore a broken "possessed" mirror, with forbidden blood magic, communicating with demons. I like her dorky personality but how can someone like her, considering the insanity of her actions?

Isabela
Rogue, pirate thief and scoundrel, who likes fun, freedom, jokes and sarcasm. Doesn't mind a little selfishness, if she or someone can gain at least a bit out of something but is annoyed by "selfless" deeds. Flirty, slutty, likes to have sex with no committment at all preferably but is opened to the concept of love and, while she can be very selfish, she is able to admit her faults and realize the consequences of her actions and is willing to make things right and correct her mistakes with sincere remorse and help her friends, if the player interacted well with her. Considering she is willing to admit she is wrong and make up for what she had done, what's not to like about her?

Sebastian Vael
Talented archer rogue. Religious man and devout Andrastian, who maybe far too much talks about it but his lectures of religion can have hidden wisdom. All I would want is that he didn't talk about it as often as he does in the game and I would like him more.

Fenris
An amnesiac slave, elven warrior fugitive on the run from a mage magister, who bullied him and treated him as a pet. This caused him to have general dislike of mages but is not completely blind and realizes that there are mages, who have good intentions with their powers but he believes that eventually, all mages succumb to the temptation of abuse of power they wield. Depending on the player's actions, he strongly reconsiders his opinions about mages.

Afraid of commitment, mainly because after he had become a slave, all his memories of previous life were erased. When having sex with Hawke, all Fenris' memories of his past life came flooding at once before fading away again and he left cowardly, leaving Hawke alone in bed. He never forgave himself for it and would do anything to take it back, since for him, and I quote: "Nothing could be worse for me than thought of living without you.".

I prefer him as a romance option, mainly for Female Mage Hawke, since I think it has sense of irony and it helps Fenris realize that there are good mages after all. Again, quoting Fenris: "For every mage such as you, there are dozen more too weak to handle their power. Them I fear. As should anyone else."

Tallis
Elven assassin rogue, who likes to quip and is geeky and is portrayed by one of my favorite actresses, the Queen of Geeks, Felicia Day. One of my favorite characters. I like the fling the main character may have with her and I wish there had been an actual romance with her lasting longer. In the DLC, Mark of the Assassin, there is a possible short-time romance based on flirting and banter that fizzles out as soon as the adventure with her is finished, with a possibility of an emotional goodbye with Tallis.

Cullen Rutherford
Templar knight, who has appeared in all three video games so far. In Dragon Age: Origins, he was tormented by blood mages and tortured, causing for him to dislike mages and was willing to wipe out the entire Circle Tower of Magi full of mages to prevent the risk of them being possessed by demons. I don't exactly blame him.

In Dragon Age 2, he becomes the second-in-command of Knight-Commander Meredith of Templar Order of Kirkwall, overseeing Kirkwall's Circle of Magi as Knight-Captain. Due to his traumatic experience with the mages in Dragon Age: Origins, he becomes harsher on mages than before. However, he still believes that Templar Order should protect the population from magic but also to protect the mages that the templars are sworn to oversee. I would be intrigued if in Dragon Age 2 he was a romance option for Female Hawke.

He becomes more and more disillusioned by the harsh treatment the mages get from the Templars, eventually causing for him to turn against Knight-Commander Meredith, when she went insane and was going to wipe out the entire Circle, when Anders, who was an apostate mage and was never part of Kirkwall's Circle, destroyed the Chantry, with Grand Cleric and hundreds of people inside.

Favorite Characters in Dragon Age 2
Bethany Hawke, Varric Tethras, Fenris, Isabela, Tallis, Aveline Vallen, Sebastian Vael

Preferred Romances in Dragon Age 2
- Male Hawke / Isabela or Female Hawke / Isabela
- Female Hawke / Fenris, preferably Female Mage Hawke / Fenris, since that particular type with Fenris is my favorite pairing and I think it is fitting
- What I would like to see is Female Mage Hawke / Cullen pairing, even though it cannot happen in DA2
- Male Hawke / Tallis or Female Hawke / Tallis
- Male Hawke / Leliana or Female Hawke / Leliana - This concept has been shown in fanfiction stories and honestly, it did intrigue me. Leliana was a lay sister in Lothering Chantry, when Hawke had lived there and is on a path for redemption. Leliana had been a bard (spy, thief and an assassin) and Hawke has some combat experience thanks to his/her father and is forced to fight for his/her family, meaning they could have had some interaction in Lothering. Had the circumstances been a little different, they could have been together and I find this concept interesting.

And I do not support incest pairings with Hawke / Bethany or Hawke / Carver, since these are in my opinion really stupid and same goes for non-canon slash pairings, such as Fenris / Anders etc. Hawke / Leliana, I honestly don't have a problem with that one and I get why people might want to write this pairing, either Male Hawke / Leliana or Female Hawke / Leliana, I think that this concept is intriguing.

Characters in Dragon Age: Inquisition and Pairings:

Cassandra Penthaghast
Warrior, devout Andrastian, servant of the Chantry and the Seekers of the Truth, pious and driven by her belief in Andraste, the Maker and the Chantry, trying to restore order between Templars and Mages. Strong, militant, practical, moral, compassionate, honorable. Under her tough demeanor hides a soft personality. I like her character and I approve of her as potential romance for Male Inquisitor.

Dorian Pavus
Mage from Tevinter Imperium, who does not have the typical Tevinter arrogant and supremacist attitude regaring mages. He is witty, supportive of mages but is reasonable enough to stay away from blood magic. Good fellow.

Gordon Blackwall (Thom Rainier)
As a warrior, Thom Rainier was a mercenary and traitor, taking part in slaughtering a noble family and his comrades had no idea of his actions. He was sentenced to die, but he was conscripted to the Grey Wardens by Gordon Blackwall, a Warden-Constable but they were ambushed and Blackwall perished in the process. With no prove of being conscripted and feared that the Wardens would kill him and inspired by Blackwall's nobility and the cause of the Wardens, Rainier assumed Blackwall's identity and his status as a wandering Warden recruiter to honor his memory. He likes to help others in need and not fond of exiling, forceful conscripting or self-serving power-hungry tyrants.

When a member of Rainier's crew, who had participated in the massacre of a noble family, was being executed, Blackwall stepped up and confessed and revealed his true identity. The Inquisitor has a choice either to let him rot in dungeon on allow him to continue serve the Inquisition to make up for what he has done and conscript him to the Wardens as he was supposed to.

I like the concept of redemption and Rainier seems sincere in redeeming himself. As a romance option, Rainier is grown fond of Female Inquisitor but distances himself from her because he does not want her to fall in love with someone he's not and hurt her by letting her love a lie. It is possible to continue the relationship and start over, with no lies anymore. I like Rainier, since he sincerely regrets his sins and wants to redeem himself and the nature of the romance with Female Inquisitor intrigues me.

Sera
Impulsive elven rogue archer with childish personality, who likes to prank around. She can be funny, that's all I have to say.

Cole
Spirit rogue, who makes people forget things in order to "free them of pain", or makes them forget when it suits him. Has a mentality of a child and sees things simply. Help the helpless and hurt and punish those who have hurt people. Interesting fellow. Can turn more human with help.

Iron Bull
Mercenary qunari warrior and spy. A good friend, who likes drinking, battling and spending times with his comrades and would rather not leave anyone behind and has a sense of humor. Good companion but as a romance, I think it's like with Zevran.

Leliana
As spymaster, in Dragon Age: Inquisition, she became more cold and apathetic, due to crisis of faith after the death of Divine Justinia, who was her close friend. However, she may soften later and more or less return to her personality in Dragon Age: Origins.

Josephine Montilyet
Bisexual Antivan diplomat. Smart, charming woman, who cares about her family. No problem with her.

Templar knight, who has appeared in all three video games so far. In Dragon Age: Origins, he was tormented by blood mages and tortured, causing for him to dislike mages and was willing to wipe out the entire Circle Tower of Magi full of mages to prevent the risk of them being possessed by demons.

In Dragon Age: Inquisition, Cullen becomes the military commander of Inquistion, trying to restore order between Templar and Mages. When asked about his feelings about mages, he states that he has seen the suffering that magic can inflict and has treated mages with distrust because of it in the past - sometimes without cause.

He admits that it was unworthy of him and says that he will try not to do so in the future. However, he still thinks that mages should be checked with safeguards to protect people - including the mages. Though he disagrees with the Templar Order's actions, he sympathizes with the Order's frustrations of their work taken for granted by most people.

As a romance option, I would prefer a Female Mage Inquisitor for Cullen, since it seems fitting and this type could help him with his shaken faith with Templars and mages.

Solas (Fen'harel - "Dread Wolf")
Elven hedge mage. At first, I was intrigued by Solas. He loves the Fade and wants a better place for mages and elves. But it was then revealed that he was Fen'harel, the “Dread Wolf”, the elven god of betrayal, willing to let the entire world burn to restore the world of elves to former glory. I don't know whether he can be redeemed or not but there's no excuse for lying to his own companions and using the Inquisition as means to an end, since he was the one responsible for most of the mess that happened in the game.

Favorite Characters in Dragon Age: Inquisition
Varric Tethras, Cassandra Penthagast, Dorian Pavus, Cullen Rutherford, Josephine Montilyet, Leliana, Cole, Gordon Blackwall (Thom Rainier), Iron Bull, Sera

Preferred Romances in Dragon Age: Inquisition
- Female Inquisitor / Blackwall (my favorite pairing)
- Female Inquisitor / Iron Bull
- Male Inquisitor / Cassandra
- Female Inquisitor / Cullen, preferably Female Mage Inquisitor / Cullen

Characters in Mass Effect and Pairings:

Ashley Williams
Human soldier. Her grandfather was General forced to surrender himself to the turians, the first human soldier, that ever surrendered to the aliens, causing disgrace to the family name and due to that, his son, Ashley's father, wasn't able to get higher rank than Serviceman Third Class. Ashley had been working so hard to redeem her family name and work her way up as soldier, despite being denied a lot of opportunities, she performs well and her unit is eventually assigned on a mission, that however resulted in her entire squad being wiped out, with her being a sole survivor as she later struggles with survivor's guilt with Shepard, the main character, rescuing her.

Ashley later joins the crew of Normandy, Shepard's ship but is wary of working with aliens, since her grandfather was the first human that ever surrendered himself to aliens, giving her a little xenophobic racist attitude towards aliens, which seems offensive to the character, in my opinion but I don’t exactly blame her. She loves her family and has three younger sisters she used to look after. Above all else, all she wants to prove herself and redeem her family's name. She's also a religious person, loves poetry and talking about family. Though she seems tough and aggresive, she can be respectful and sympathetic. She is not completely xenophobic, since she knows that humans and aliens need to cooperate but prefers if humans could be independent and had more chance to prove themselves and she is able to respect authority, when being assigned to squad of aliens and later, she learns to trust aliens in missions more.

However, during the choice between saving either Kaidan or Ashley on Virmire mission, if chosen Ashley, this deepens her survivor's guilt but with Shepard's help she is able to come to terms with it and eventually, she accepts her alien comrades as good friends.

I honestly grew fond of and warmed up to the character and I think that Ashley Williams is OTP for Male Shepard in the entire Mass Effect series. Even though she feels betrayed by believing that Shepard was dead for two years in ME2, she still loves Shepard and ME3, the story of Shepard and Ashley finding their way to each other is so well done and emotional. I love the romance between Male Shepard and Ashley, since it is very emotional and well done.

Kaidan Alenko
Loyal soldier and friend and companion. Kind of a boy scout. Not my romance preference for Female Shepard, since they have worked together for years and are more like close friends but as a bromance he's good. However, I have to wonder what were the creators of the game thinking, making Kaidan in ME3 a bisexual and a gay romance option for Male Shepard. It cheapens the bromance bond between them and it is so stupid in my opinion.

Liara T'Soni
Asari scientist and archaeologist, who does not understand sometimes human idioms, making her social awkwardness just so sweet. Shy of intimacy at first but is able to gain special connection to Commander Shepard. However, as the series progress, she develops a darker personality and exterior, willing to break the law and even extort, torture or kill, as an information broker, though she still has her sense of morality and can show remorse over her actions. In ME3 she uses her resources as Shadow Broker to help in the war against Reapers. I would not mind her as romance option.

Garrus Vakarian
Former turian C-Sec officer (a cop), joining Shepard's mission to make things right. Skilled sniper. Bromance between him and Shepard is just awesome. Maybe the best friend Shepard has throughout the entire trilogy. As a romance option for Female Shepard, it just honestly doesn’t sit with me.

Urdnot Wrex
Krogan mercenary warrior, trying to restore his people to former glory. If interacted well with, a loyal and good friend and comrade.

Tali'Zorah
Quarian tech genius and a geek. Potential romance for Male Shepard but not my preference, since Tali is in my opinion more like a little sister.

Miranda Lawson
Human. Ice Queen, female clone genetically engineered from DNA of Henry Lawson, to be a "perfect woman", from IQ to physical attributes, giving her arrogant attitude at the start. Despite her seemingly perfect traits, she had a strict personal lifestyle from her "father", a wealthy megalomaniac obsessed with preserving his "legacy" and "dynasty". This lack of affection may be the cause of her "Ice Queen" attitude.

She is later shown to be insecure and care about her "sister" Oriana, another clone and becomes disillusioned with Cerberus, a pro-human extremist group, due to rising immorality, or even amorality of their actions, joining Shepard's cause. Potential romance for Male Shepard. She is cautious of sexual tension due to her insecurity and perfect body, yet if Shepard is insistent, she grows to develop an affection and eventually fall in love. I like how the romance goes down between her and Male Shepard but I would prefer the romance with Ashley for Male Shepard.

Jacob Taylor
Ex-Alliance soldier disillusioned with bureaucraucy, joining with Cerberus but later deserting the group for the same reasons as Miranda. Good fellow soldier, who has his own moral values and is not afraid to speak up his mind, regarding Cerberus' extreme methods, when he disagrees with them. Would not mind him as a romance option for Female Shepard.

Thane Krios
Drell. A former assassin, dying from a terminal disease, on a path to redemption and trying to make peace with his son, with whom he had cut ties, alongside with wife. A good character. Interesting romance with Female Shepard but since he's dying, it ends only in tragedy.

Mordin Solus
Salarian doctor. Tries to help krogans with curing virophage and is fond of humans. Likes to help other species if he can. Often focused on scientific perspective but can be a funny fellow.

Grunt
Krogan super-soldier with mentality of a child. Sometimes get himself in hilarious situations.

Jack
Female human biotic, experimented on and tortured by Cerberus, powerful biotic with strong language. Eventually grows to trust others and grow fond of people, if insistent enough. Potential romance option for Male Shepard. I like how she later becomes more trusting and willing to let someone in.

Kasumi Goto
Master thief, infiltrator, tech and smart-ass geek with mouthful of wisecracks and witticisms. What's not to like about her?

Zaeed Massani
Feared, impulsive bounty hunter on quest for revenge but is able to set aside petty grudges for the sake of the mission.

Javik
Prothean. Last living member of a once proud supremacy civilization. At first arrogant and acts superior, due to being once a member of large empire but grows to understand current customs and concept of diplomacy and cooperation better and finds humility, trying to fight for others and honor the legacy of his people.

James Vega
Alliance soldier, boy scout and likes to make cracks. Good fellow.

Samantha Traynor
Comms expert on Normandy with lesbian sexual orientation from London. Likes to play chess and other strategic games. Potential romance option for Female Shepard but for me it feels too sudden and rushed to happen, even though it has its funny moments.

Jeff "Joker" Moreau
Normandy pilot, who's been there for Shepard throughout the entire game saga and likes to make cracks and quips. What's not to like about him?

EDI
An A.I. with female voice, that develops human feelings and learns to "be alive and truly human" and later takes over a synthetic robotic body. I like the character development throughout the trilogy.

David Anderson
Captain of Systems of Alliance, later Councilor of Humans, representing humanity on Citadel Council, then Admiral of Systems Alliance. Father figure to Shepard.

Donnel Udina
Human diplomat, ruthless politician and power-hungry, self-serving jerk. If you are familiar with Mass Effect games, I don't need to explain any further. Also a possible substitute to Anderson as Councilor of Humans but not wise.

Favorite Characters in ME
David Anderson, Jeff "Joker" Moreau, Garrus Vakarian, Ashley Williams, Urdnot Wrex, Miranda Lawson, Liara T'Soni, Thane Krios, Jacob Taylor, Grunt, James Vega, Tali'Zorah, EDI, Zaeed Massani, Jack, Kasumi Goto

Preferred romances in ME:
- Male Shepard / Ashley Williams (my favorite pairing and in my opinion, OTP of entire Mass Effect Trilogy)
- Male Shepard / Miranda Lawson
- Male or Female Shepard / Liara T'Soni
- Female Shepard / Thane Krios (even though it ends in tragedy due to Thane's terminal disease)

And I do not support any non-canon slash or incest pairings in Mass Effect at all, such as Female Shepard / Ashley, Female Shepard / Miranda, Ashley / Miranda, Miranda / Jack, Miranda / Oriana etc. And honestly, doing Male Shepard / Kaidan in ME3 seems like a really stupid idea, in my honest opinion.

I didn’t find Mass Effect: Andromeda as enjoyable as the original trilogy with Commander Shepard and I lost interest after two hours of gameplay.

If you're interested in stories that I have written, stories I consider my favorite ones because I have highly enjoyed them, or want to take a look at the works of some other writers that I find very good in my opinion, see for yourselves below.
