"Slade Wilson! You've kidnapped my daughter twice. You killed her mother. I've come to put an end to you!"

"So be it. But we shall not deal with swords. Or guns. Or arrows."

"Let us swag to the death."

The world is not ready.

I dunno. That would be too tough to call. I might give it to Slade, but Malcolm bossed his way through without Mirakuru. And bagged Moira.

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

Slade could have "bagged" Moira, Thea & Laurel if he wanted to.
Probably could have gotten Moira and Thea at the same time too. Making Laurel watch them through the 2nd floor window, from outside on the lawn, holding a boombox above her head blasting Radioactive.

I think you've been reading too many of Wozzly's fanfics...

This moment is still awesome as fuck.

 

[Plasticine]

Hey, Slade had a deeply meaningful relationship with Moira. They talked to each other! She even held his arm throughout his tour of the Queen residence! Actual human contact! It's only a matter of time before Slade starts imagining Moira. He'll have Moira and Shado at the same time! Can Malcolm top that?

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

I think you've been reading too many of Wozzly's fanfics...

Actually, I haven't even read one of them. (Wozzlyfics? - not even once!)
I may be using a slightly more literal definition for "bagged" though.

I haven't either but the legend of them is more than enough to get an idea of what they may contain. /shudder

"I know you like I know my own name. And I realize it may sound crazy in light of your secret, but I know who you are in your bones, Oliver."

this show's dialogue is so bad

That monologue and also glau with that mask was extremely cringeworthy. Still pretty good episode

Though this show's strengths clearly lie in Malcolm Merlyn and Slade Wilson

Amell is always bringing it.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I'll make a case for Malcolm,

And all by the power of swag. Not Mirakuru enhanced swag. Throwing my hat in the Malcolm ring too.

 

[Magwik]

All this Merlyn talk has me hyped

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Amell is always bringing it.

Damn right. Amell gets a lot of shit, but he has improved so much as the show goes on. He especially brought it this past episode.

Amell defense force, assemble!

 

[Omega]

"Let us swag to the death."

This isn't even fair.

Malcom has a better chance in a normal fight. Unless they can recruit Dustin Clare no one can outswag Manu

Amell is a boss. Even if he was a mediocre actor like most of the cast, he's still a cool ass dude. One of the few celebrities I actually follow on twitter.

 

[Clevinger]

I want some Season 3 scenes of Merlyn training Thea and passing some of that all-natural, non-mirikuru'd swag off to her.

This moment is still awesome as fuck.

Would be even cooler if Malcolm was the only person who could do that.

 

[MC_Hify]

Is Summer Glau's head really that big?

All the more to distract people from the fact that she is a terrible actress.

Yeah but he does it in a business suit with a steely glare.

It's awesome.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

And Malcolm has better depth perception. Malcolm wins.

 

[unholyrevenger72]

Hollywood leans toward picking actors with big heads and small frames. For another example within Arrow look at the dude who plays Roy.

 

[Discotheque]

Amell is always bringing it.

lest we forget season 1 already. he's definitely gotten much better though. he's no longer a weak link in this show.

but still. manu bennett and barrowman. those dudes can make any of these cheesy lines sound great.

 

[Septimus Prime]

Yeah but he does it in a business suit with a steely glare.

It's awesome.

Malcolm kicking the crap out of Oliver in wingtips was the highlight of the first season.

Power Play

"Wake up, Ms, Smoak. Welcome back to A.R.G.U.S! Today, you'll learn all about my power in as how you put it, in an evil dictator, Stalin sort of way!" Waller said.

"What is this I'm strapped to? Why are you doing this?" Felicity asked.

"The device you're strapped to is once of our new torture devices, the Pleasure-Tron 9001! I figured someone of your stature could appreciate a piece of tech like this. I honestly think you're the perfect candidate to participate in the trial run of the device. You'll be making history this evening Ms. Smoak. In more ways than one!" Waller replied.

"Something called the Pleasure-Tron 9001 can't be all that bad when you actually think about in retrospect. And you still haven't answered me as to why you're doing this." Felicity quipped back in her patented special way.

"You're simply here for one reason and one reason only. Because I have the power to make it happen! I am Amanda Waller and I get what I want, when I want! And tonight I wanted you and so now I have you!" Waller barked.

"I do feel however that we're both overdressed for this special occasion. Don't you think Ms. Smoak?" Waller said.

Waller removed the coat she was wearing to reveal a crotchless and topless leather dominatrix outfit.

Felicity couldn't believe this could be happening to her. Somewhere in the back of her mind however when she joined Team Arrow that being a sex slave could be a possible occupational hazard. Whether it being her fantasy of Ollie as her master or just a prisoner of the battles they fought for Starling City. It was a possibility then and for her right now a stark reality of things.

"I do think its time for you to get undressed as well Ms. Smoak! Time to show you what real power is!" Waller taunted.

Waller pressed a button on her outfit and all of a sudden the Pleasure-Tron 9001 began to stir.

All sorts of devices sprang to life and in the process violently removed her clothes and inserted devices that wormed their way deep inside her Arrow Cave.

You could hear Felicity's moans of pain and pleasure as the Pleasure-Tron 9001 started to do its work.

"Are you enjoying yourself Ms. Smoak? Please know that I'm having a wonderful time at your expense." Waller said.

"I'mmmhph noooooott ennnnjoyiiiiinng myyy sellllllfffph at alllllllllllllll!" Felicity moaned.

"I sure can't tell that from where I'm standing Ms. Smoak. It would seem that that you're beginning to give in to the pleasure that wracks your very body. Which is the whole reason for this device. Sexual stimulation is perfect for breaking down mental walls that can't be broken in other ways, you see. Or perfect for teaching little bitches with Wi-Fi a bit of respect!" Waller said.

You could hear Felicity's moans of resentment turn into moans of pure pleasure as the Pleasure-Tron 9001 stimulated every last one of her pleasure zones. Even ones she didn't know she had. Her thoughts focused on her wish that Oliver was making love to her and not a machine under the control of a sexual psycho on a power trip. But even those thoughts melted away to the pure perfect pleasure of just being serviced. As Felicity neared her finale the Pleasure-Tron 9001 just abruptly stopped.

"Time to see the fruits of my labor!" Waller exclaimed.

"Why would you make it stop! I was just about t--" Waller interrupted Felicity's bated thought.

"I'm very well aware that you were about to have as you eloquently put it "your finale." And so did the Pleasure-Tron 9001. Which is precisely why it stopped. One of the devices of the Pleasure-Tron 9001 is able to read your innermost thoughts and download them to my suit." Waller said.

"My innermost thoughts?" Felicity said with concern.

Your thoughts of being Oliver Queen's sub & only lover! Your jealousy of all the "competition" for Oliver's heart. Those naughty things you did in that Central City hospital room to an unconscious Barry Allen. Even that fleeting thought you had once and I quote, "Riding Diggle's Big Black Express to Big Belly Burger and back!" All of them." Waller said with confidence.

"Oh, my God! No! Felciity exclaimed.

You're a very naughty girl Ms. Smoak. Luckily for you I love naughty girls! And now you're my naughty girl until further notice!" Waller replied.

Waller pushed a button on the suit and the Pleasure-Tron 9001 released Felicity from everything restricting her.

Felicity got her bearings back and stood up.

"I'll never be anything to you! When I tell Oliver what you've done to me he'll make you sorry!" Felicity exclaimed.

"So naive, Ms. Smoak. So naive. You're in no position to tell anyone anything."

Waller then pressed a button on her suit and Felicity's legs started to tremble.

"This is a special present I give all my naughty little girls. A twist on the micro-bombs implanted into Suicide Squad members. In this case it lets me control a well placed vibrator that can bring you undeniable pleasure if you're a good girl or undesirable pain if you're being a bit too naughty. Since you were a good girl today I'll let you have your "finale" for surviving our little game." Waller said.

Keeping to her word she pressed a button on her suit and Felicity fell to her knees in the undeniable pleasure she was promised. Felicity soon after reached her finale and her essence pooled below her.

"Have you learned your lesson about power Ms. Smoak?" Waller asked.

"Yes I have." Felicity replied.

"WRONG ANSWER! YOU END ALL YOUR REPLIES TO ME NOW ON AS MASTER! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?" Waller screamed.

"Yes, master." Felicity shyly squeaked.

"You're free to go my pet. Remember I'll be watching you. Be good. Be bad. Be whatever. Know I have the power and I'm not afraid to wield it!" Waller said.

"I understand, master." Felicity said in subordinate tone.

"And one more thing. If you ever again have the thought that "I'm a sexual psycho on a power trip" I'll make sure it'll be the last independent thought in your pitiful existence. Am I understood, pet?" Waller asked.

"Yes, master." Felicity said.

"Now clean yourself up and get out of my sight until I have need for our games again!" Waller commanded.

"Understood, master." Felicity said.

And so the game of master and slave became a part of their lives from then on. They both knew the roles in the various games they played. Whether that was in the game to keep the world safe or the game that brought both of them pure pleasure.

Both of them knowing that no matter what their lives were like is that there was always time for a...Power Play!

 

[Mario007]

And Malcolm has better depth perception. Malcolm wins.

Malcom also at least has a bit of a believable motive. As opposed to Slade. I mean Slade works because he's a maniac who know who the Arrow is and thus proceeds to destroy him. But his rationale is weak as fuck. I was glad that Ollie finally shouted to his face that Shado wasn't his.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

This isn't even fair.

Malcom has a better chance in a normal fight.

Why do people think this? Slade was a trained killer long before Malcolm ended up with the league. The only way to beat Slade is to make him lose focus by poking him with the Shado stick.

I don't really get this complaint about Slades initial motivation, no Shado wasn't his, but that makes it worse in a lot of ways because he loved her, but accepted that Shado wanted Ollie and trusted him with her, then he picked Sarah, so Slade got rejected for the sake of someone who wasn't as devoted as he was. Age old 'why do girls dig assholes' grief.

That plus a little psychosis was a perfectly believable motivation for me. Then you have to remember that at some point Ollie is going to take Slades eye out which I imagine would focus one's rage somewhat.



They haven't really made a big deal about Malcolm coming back so I wonder if he will just save Thea and take her away and that will be the crux of season 3, considering the league wants him dead I can't see how he could really get involved in the Slade conflict, plus it would seem a bit weird for Ollie to find out he's alive now when they went to all that trouble of killing off moira just before she said it.

If you accept that he's a maniac, then he doesn't need rationale.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

This moment is still awesome as fuck.

Still one of my favorite moments of the series, "fight" was awesome as well.

Laurel is looking way blonde right before the season finale.

I am NOT liking this.

Edit: And now this is fic central.

Anyway, can't wait for Merlyn to pimp slap that one eyed pretender.

She's awful and she has no sense of fashion.

Has anybody else noticed how she keeps wearing canvas shoes with her business formal attire? Gurl pls. She should have died in the Glades along the rest of the uglies.

People watch Arrow because it's an entertaining show, not to be fucking weird creepos on the net.

Pretty much. I'm kinda amazed it took the mask for people to acknowledge it.

I'm probably Summer Glau's biggest stan at GAF, but yeah, she's got quite a significant noggin.

I am sorry if I offended you folks.
My point was - and still is: if you watch a TV show where training shirtless is pretty much a lock every few episodes, then yeah, if you go to the community topic dedicated to that show, you will find fanfics, shippers and speculators left and right.

It is like wanting a football thread with civil discussion only. Not much to discuss. And you still do not have to read fanfics, just skip them. Just the reaction gifs to them are entertaining enough for me, so.... opinions and all that jazz.

One of these things is not like the other.

As it is, the thread in general seems to get entertainment out of the fan fiction and I personally just skip right past them, so I'm not bothered by it particularly (except the few times when people actually quote the whole thing in a reply) but by no means does a show being aired on The CW mean that people should expect it in a discussion thread. Shipping and speculation go hand in hand with what's being aired. Fanfics are another category all together.

Power Play

Extremely long fic

See, here's the thing: It lacks punch and wit. When Stephen Amell writes a fic, it's short, to the point, and it has punch. It's not overtly explicit, it's all 'Glades' and 'Mirakaru'. There's humor to it, while the sex is all subtextual.

The important part to remember is when to be implicit and when to be explicit. Think erotica vs pornography.

Everybody has a different way of expressing themselves through the art of storytelling. On top of such I'm no style biter. Which is why I choose to write them as I do. Taking your advice would lead me to encroaching on Wozzly's territory and I'd never do that. I enjoy the humor and wit to his short form of storytelling. And in trade I know there's a place to tell a long form of story too. You need both. His "Glades" & "Mirakuru" and my more intimate & more drawn out storytelling. The spice of life as it were. If everybody did everything the same then we'd never make any progress as people.

TL;DR: My fics are purposely that way to give contrast to what Wozzly does better than most.
