Let's Talk Emiko Queen

Half-Japanese. Half-Filipino
Fluent in English, Filipino, Japanese (standard and Kansai-ben)
What I Do
I sometimes make threads talking about Emiko or things related to Emiko.
I used to talk about the TV Show Arrow, mostly to point out inconsistencies and to clarify how the scientific things mentioned in the show actually work. However, I stopped doing that bc the show is causing me too much stress.
I also have a blog dedicated to making rewrites of shows or comics, pitching my own stories, and the occasional fancast here and there.
Characters I love
Yes, I mainly talk about Emiko but Roy (especially Roy), Mia, Cissie, and the rest of the Arrowfam receive my love as well.

I put my curious cat back up and it's curious cat.me/redfreakingarrow
The twitter linked is my more general shows and anime-related twitter acct.
I occasionally make unboxing videos and talk about various comics-related topics.
I sometimes play games on Twitch but I haven't really been using it much, admittedly.
My Wordpress is the blog I mentioned in the "What I Do" section.
BYF
I'm 22 years old.
I curse a lot.
I'm not comfortable with following people younger than 20 years old.
When it comes to 18-19 year-olds, I usually give it some time before I follow back because the maturity difference is still up in the air. Interactions usually tell me all I need to know.
If you're a minor, I'm less likely to follow back. I'm trying to be a responsible adult here so sorry!
If you don't have your age in your bio or in your carrd, I'll assume you're a minor unless interactions prove otherwise.
FAQ
Will you follow me back?
I have a strict personal rule when it comes to following. I want to keep the content of my feed more or less consistent. I usually only follow artists (professional and amateur), comic writers, comic news sites, and some fan accounts. Also, see the BYF section.
Are you single?
Unfortunately, my girlfriend passed away last December 31, 2019.
Why don't you post selfies?
I'm generally a private person. I really only show my face in videos where I'm with my friends. Maybe an odd picture or two.
Why Emiko Queen?
Why not? She's a relatively new character but she quickly became one of my faves. Also, I feel like she's really underappreciated.
Do you like/watch CW's Arrow?
No.
Why?
Terrible writing and it disrespects years of comic book history.
Do you like Arrow's version of Emiko?
As of the writing of this answer, yes but I fear her (and the actress') potential is going to be wasted.
Update: IDK what's happening in the show and, quite frankly, I don't care. I don't want to know what's happening. I'm ignoring it and I'm better off not knowing.
Which did you get into first: the comics or Arrow?
The comics which is why I have little to no attachment to Arrow.
Can I talk to you about Arrow's version of Emiko?
No.
But you post pictures of the actress?
Bc she's pretty and I actually like her as Emiko.
Do you like the CW shows?
I did at one point but I associate all of them too much with Error so they all leave a bad taste in my mouth.
What's your MBTI?
INTJ
Hogwarts House?
Slytherin Primary. Slytherin Secondary. Ravenclaw model.
Who do you ship Emiko with?
Lyta Milton among other people.
But she hasn't been reintroduced yet?
I'm aware.
What do you think of the current Teen Titans run?
I hate it because it's mischaracterizing, not just Emiko, but Damian as well. I don't know Walt well enough to say whether he's being mischaracterized or not.
UPDATE: I'm liking it a little more now mostly bc Thompson is on-board and the pacing and characterizations seem better.
Who's Walt?
Oh that's what I call Wallace II now bc typing "Wallace" over and over again is tiring.
Was Emiko based on Thea Queen?
Short answer: No
I have a longer answer somewhere in my cc and in my twitter. You can send me an ask in my cc asking for it and I'll look for it for you ^_^
Do you like JayRoy?
Nononononononono. N O. I really hate what New 52 did to Roy. He's my all time favourite character (alongside Emi), and he was so unrecognizable. Roy's Bat is DICK GRAYSON. Not Jason Todd. They literally gave Roy the personality (and appearance) of Eddie Bloomberg. So yeah. I don't like JayRoy so please stop trying to talk to me about it.
