My top three picks at the moment (because I love this whole fic SO STOP FREAKING OUT): the phone conversation between Artemis and Dick (or that whole scene at the drive-thru); something from the Ollie/Dinah visit, or the floating scene with Wally's home bedroom at the end.
I would steer clear of anything in Seattle until you figure out what you're doing with that sequence.
Oh! Or when they break into the track! Or the visit to the candy factory! I LOVE IT ALL, DON'T ASK ME TO CHOOSE.
THIS IS NOT HELPFUL. But yeah, I keep cycling back to the phone call or the bedroom scene. But the phone call feels like cheating since it's not actually a Wally/Artemis scene, even though it contains my single favorite line of the entire fic. I HATE MAKING DECISIONS. BUT YAY, THEY'RE OUT OF SEATTLE. BE HAPPY.
And you know I agree with a lot of your YJ feelings. All of them, really. I've successfully lowered my expectations enough that I'm enjoy the bits that I'm enjoying and still side-eying the plot like woah (WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START MAKING SENSE, IT DOESN'T COUNT IF YOU TIE ALL OF IT TOGETHER IN THE LAST EPISODE), but really, all I want are the relationship exploits of the Crock-Nguyen sisters. NO PANTS FOREVER. And Lian is precious.
And and, GIVING ME DICK/ZATANNA MAKEOUTS WOULD MAKE ME FORGIVE A LOT OF THE OTHER STUFF TOO GREG, I AM JUST SAYING.
I'M SORRY, BUT I LOVE IT ALL. Hey, it's not cheating. Their breakup affected their friends, too, so having a scene that discusses the relationship but isn't necessarily between the two people in the relationship is necessary, even expected.
YAY FOR BEING OUT OF SEATTLE. I WILL READ THEIR EXIT TONIGHT. YOU'D THINK I'D BE OVER MY SEATTLE ISSUES BY NOW, AND YET.
Seriously! When I start drawing comparisons to DBZ plotlines, you know things are going off the rails. But I honestly think this s/l should have opened the new season and served as a bridge to all the new stuff. the Crock-Nguyen sisters need a spinoff where they kick ass in between dates.
DICK/ZATANNA MAKEOUTS WOULD SOLVE WORLD PEACE, I'M PRETTY SURE.
Haha, you will never be over your Seattle issues. And that's okay.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW EXCITED I AM TO WRITE ABOUT THE SMURF TURF. IT'S NOT SEATTLE. THEREFORE IT IS AWESOME.
Hm, maybe. I mean, I get why they opened the season the way they did (I think). It was a great visual representation of how much shit had changed and even in a lot of ways how WRONG everything was. And we've sort of been building to Bart's reveal about just how wrong everything is. But it's coming too late, I think, especially given how minimized the whole Flash family has been this season.
(Great, now you've made me want double dating fic, in addition to the baby-sitting fic I want more than I want air. THANKS A LOT.)
I LIKE SEATTLE. IT'S JUST THAT BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO ME THERE. AND IT'S FILLED WITH GRANOLA AND HIPSTERS. IT'S LIKE BROOKLYN BUT WITH BIRCH TREES.
What's the Smurf Turf? I mean, I get that it's a stadium, but which city/team does it belong to? But yay! for being excited to write more! And now you have a running gag.
Oh, I do get why they went with showing how completely different things were in order to draw the contrast, but I think they veered too far in that direction without bringing it back to something to ground the audience. The balance between what's different, what's new, and how it integrates with the old and known isn't coming across well. Bart's reveal could have come earlier and still illustrated how bad things are going to get.
...I didn't know I wanted either of those things until you said them. NOW I WANT BOTH. GET SOMEONE ON THAT.

I CAN AGREE WITH THAT.
