bonus is when their partners steal the batkids clothes only to find out later that it’s definitely not a wayne kids clothing item.

Roy: That’s my sweater?

Wally: Yeah well Kon’s wearing my pants so…

Izzy: I’m probably wearing one of your boxers, it’s for sure not Dukes

Kon: how do you know?

Izzy: Because Duke doesn’t own Minecraft boxers???

Right…

I REPEAT

yes, he had his rough spots with Roy (really rough), but they worked it out and are THE father and son duo as of right now!

people that hate Oliver Queen for what he did are people who have only interacted with Roy through outside media (ahem, jayroy shippers [coming from a person who occasionally reads jayroy]). They are people who haven’t read a single Green Arrow comic and just assumed Snowbirds Don’t Fly (WHICH THEY HAVENT EVEN READ) is the outline for Roy and Ollie’s relationship which just isn’t true! This was Ollies first kid AND HE WAS YOUNG! He didn’t know what to do or how to appropriately react to finding out about Roy’s addiction. He made a mistake and if the character that was the most affected by the mistake can forgive him, YOU the reader can too!!

I also see people say, and I quote, “Roy is just like Jason 💔” To which I have to STRONGLY disagree. While I’m not as informed on Jason Todd’s backstory as I am for Roy, Jason’s main family issues came from his death not being avenged (understandable). Roy was an addict, this is something that ruins not just your health but your personal relationships. Jason’s family issues came mainly after his death, Roy has never had “issues” just a complicated relationship that can happen to anyone who becomes addicted. (I’ve seen my friend go through the same thing).

Let’s also not pin ALL the blame on Ollie. Don’t forget the Titans ALSO kicked Roy out after finding out!

Roy’s story was made to raise awareness about what NOT to do when a loved one becomes addicted because it was made during a drugs crisis and Green Arrow was very popular then.
