The poll for the Olivarry Holiday Weekend prompts are up! You can select two options, and remember, there will be a free day in-between. Votes close Monday 7th December so cast your votes ASAP!!
Summary: It’s been two hours since they started fighting, and neither Barry nor Oliver can’t even remember what the initial argument was about. All Barry knows is that Oliver is in the wrong, and Barry’s hardly going to apologise for it.

“You know, when you
think about it, this is your fault, really.”
Barry rolls his eyes,
crossing his arms over his chest. It’s been two hours since they
started fighting – one and a half hours since Cisco called about
the meta on the loose – and if he’s being completely honest with
himself, he can’t even remember what the initial argument was about.
All he knows is that Oliver is in the wrong, and Barry’s hardly going
to apologise for it.
Before he can even whip
out a retort, though, another crack of lightning is sent in Oliver’s
direction, and Barry moves in the speed of light, knocking his
husband out of harms way and onto the floor, before whirling to meet
the eyes of the meta. “Do you mind? You’re kinda interrupting
something here,” he quips, although he doesn’t quite feel the
humour of it himself, so he can’t really blame the guy for not
showing any amusement on his expression.
“I’m not so sure he
appreciated your joke, Bar.” Oliver grumbles, struggling to his
feet without even a thank you for saving his damn life.
“Alright, look, we
can stand here and argue, or we can actually deal with this guy and
go home. Your choice, Oliver.”
So we’ve come to a decision on our next event - the Olivarry Holiday Weekend!
The event will take place over the weekend before Christmas - Friday 18th December to Sunday the 20th December.
Here’s the deal:
Similar to Olivarry Week, we’re asking you guys to send in some prompts (keep them short so that artists/writers/gifmakers/whatever have some wiggle room!). Prompts don’t have to be necessarily Christmas themed (although we welcome those!) however the overall theme of the weekend is Christmas, so every work submitted must be relevant in some way to that.
The format will be as follows:
Day 1 (Friday 18th Dec): Prompt #1 Day 2 (Saturday 19th Dec): Free Day Day 3 (Sunday 20th Dec): Prompt #2
Because we’re planning this one so far in advance, and there’s less days, we’ll keep the prompt suggestions open a little bit longer this time, so prompt suggestions will close on Monday 30th November.
Rules will be similar to Olivarry Week, but we’ve made a few additions so please check here if you plan on contributing to the event.
And again, if you guys could signal boost this post in order to get the word out to as many people as possible, we would really appreciate it! The more people that see it, the more works we shall have when the weekend comes.
As usual, we welcome any questions about the event. If there’s something that you think we haven’t clarified, please let us know so that we can fix it.
The tag for this event will be
#olivarrychristmas2015.
I know I know I KNOWWWW. I’ve been thinking about this a LOT since last night’s episode.
So what would it mean if the blinding was permanent?
1) Either Barry is unable to fight crime altogether, or he’s gonna have to hone in some serious Daredevil shit to be able to do it - but even then, Matt Murdock had special powers that allowed him to do all the stuff he did without sight. Would Barry? Probably not. So, no crime fighting.
2) Which means that he’d probably feel pretty useless, right? Oliver’s out there being a hero, protecting people, and Barry can’t do shit anymore because he can’t see a damn thing. Nobody needs him. Except that Oliver holds him at night and tells him that that’s bullshit, and that Oliver needs him. That his friends need him - his family. Tells him that he’s still his light, even if Barry’s sight is shrouded in darkness.
3) Oliver coming home to Barry, and he’s just curled up on the couch hugging into a pillow, and Oliver reaches down to swipe the tears from his eyes. “What if I forget what you look like? What if I forget what my friends look like? My dad? Joe and Iris? I’m never going to see anyone again. I’m never going to see anything again.” - and of course, there’s not much Oliver can say to that - but he listens, and he holds Barry as he cries and strokes his hair in a soothing manner. And then, of course, does his best to cheer Barry up, whatever it takes. Even if it involves listening to one of his dorky educational radio stations that Oliver holds no interest in (although he does enjoy the feeling of Barry lying with his head on his chest on the couch as they curl up together to listen, so there’s that).
4) I could imagine Oliver getting really overprotective on the matter, too. Stays near Barry whenever possible - makes sure to scan every environment for possible threats - things that might harm Barry. Then again, he’d do that anyway. But now that Barry’s more vulnerable, Oliver’s extra cautious.
5) I feel that this would make Joe warm to Oliver quite a bit once he sees the way that Oliver is intent on taking care of his son, and not even remotely concerned about any burden on himself. It just goes to show that Oliver Queen even loves stubbornly, and that’s definitely something that Joe can get on board with.
Overall, Oliver helping Barry cope and comforting him and just being there for him throughout the entire ordeal (alongside supportive friends and family, of course!) Eventually, he’ll learn to deal with it, because at the end of the day, there’s nothing more that can be done and hey, at least he’s still breathing.
