(no subject)
Me: Got a good handle on tags lately, though I've been dealing with the fucking worst of allergies and it has ruined me for wanting to do anything but lie around with ice on my face and moan in despair. I have some 10 or so days left of Spring Break so I plan on using it to my advantage and getting as much plot planning done as I can.

I have so much swirling around in my head in regards to where Oliver is, and his relationships, and plots I want to plan, and his stupid face is basically the entire reason I'm doing this.
Between Felicity and Thea, Oliver is happy, and it's really freaking weird, especially as s3 rolls on. Then again, this is Oliver we're talking about, so some part of him believes this happiness won't last too long because he doesn't think he deserves it. (Idiot.) Porthos and Tris provide different friendships that I never thought would shake out the way they did, but I'm glad for it. I also need to throw Oliver at different people to see what sticks.
His conversation with Barbara about her knowing about him as Green Arrow has really thrown him, and he's beginning to question what what it means for his identity and the safety of Felicity (and Thea). He's also starting to develop questions about what he's doing and what his impact is on Darrow as the Arrow (somewhat similar to what happened in the last episode, thank you for validating me in some way, canon). So that will constantly be in the back of his mind for a while.
Seeing Stones: Oliver's going to be my main focus on this plot because there's so much I can do with it, and so many different things he can see. I for SURE want him to see some of the 3x01 stuff with Felicity because that'll spook him and that will work toward the Bratva plot I have planned for him. He'll also be seeing some s3 stuff with Thea that will lead to a serious change in their relationship, and some other s3 stuff. BUT, he'll also get to see some happy ending scenarios, just to fuck with him because WHY NOT. And all the crazy shit happening during the end of the plot will only fuel Oliver's doubts about himself and all that.
Bratva Plot: Okay, so this is a plot I've had in the back of my mind since I set up the Bratva in the city. It'll be very contained, I think, but there is room if someone really wants to play a part. (Actually, this could lead to some fun stuff with vigilantes - thinking Barbara and/or Cissie - and I'll have to rope Porthos into it somehow because I want him to find out about Arrow eventually.) Basically, Alexei has been dropping hints here and there about wanting Oliver to play a bigger part (or ANY part) in the Bratva operations. LOL, I have this image of Alexei forcing a small crew on Oliver and telling him to get to work or he'll, idk, have his sister and his girlfriend killed because if he's a real Captain he'll work with Alexei, and if he isn't, then shit, that means he's an impostor and that leads to death. Fun stuff. Still working on details, I'll email relevant people when I have a more concrete idea.
jesus christ that is a lot words, MOVING ON.

One thing I'm loving most about Terry right now is the relationships she's building up. I fucking LOVE her and Kotetsu, who is turning out to be one of her favorite people in the city because he is the sweetest goober ever. She's one I can tag virtually anybody with (harder if they're in a bar, tho), and it's providing some interesting interactions. I do need to steer her toward more female friends, because it's been forever since she had a real friendship that wasn't fraught with drama (Monet, Layla, those from X-Force/Muir she doesn't really see anymore).
Also, Sean. All the Sean threads ever, gimme, Leshia. :E
Otherwise, not much going on plotwise with her. I need to brainstorm.
Seeing Stones: I could be terrible and have her see some truly awful (lonely, childless, friendless alcoholic) and truly wonderful things (baby Sean and Jamie with her as a happy family), but I'm still wavering on it. And she will be annoyed by YET ANOTHER end of the world scenario.

Claire is basically just enjoying herself and coasting along happily. I like throwing her at all sorts of random people because she tends to get along with people really well (everyone so far) or things end in some disaster (nobody YET). I don't have any real plot going on with her lately, just minor every day life things with Jamie. The baby is due in June, and that will change her a lot.
Manda and I have been talking about her and Bones eventually opening some private practice in the future, which is so perfect it makes me laugh. Claire basically IS a private practice in Scotland in the books, and she'd love a chance to be able to do something and help people while she takes the long road toward becoming a surgeon (sticking closeish to canon on this one).
Seeing Stones: This one is all Jamie. Poor, poor Jamie.
Cookie if you read all that. I'm going to pass out now, thank you and goodnight.
