So! I am writing my
femgenficathon fic about Cissie King-Jones, the former Arrowette, who is awesome and amazing and really, really fun to have living in my head.
And I realize that some of you
--::cough::

scribophile::cough::--do not know who Cissie is! Now, I could easily *describe* her, and go on about how very cool she is, but...
I decided to let Cissie speak for herself. ;) What does this mean? PICSPAM. Or several.
(Because, yes, I totally have all of Young Justice on my hard drive, JOY! And honestly--I'm not so sad that Cissie is in comics-limbo, given what's happened to the *rest* of Young Justice these days. It hasn't been pretty.)Anyway, so here is the first of what will probably be several picspams featuring Cissie.
Part of why I love Cissie is because she joins YJ in issue 4, and quits by issue 17--but continues to make regular appearances for the rest of the series, almost 40 issues after she quit. So, picspam 1 is dedicated to Cissie's career as Arrowette, short as it may seem.
Meet Arrowette. The superhero who dares to ruffle Robin's hair when he is in full Bat-sulk mode:
Please to be noting, those of you familiar with Cissie, that I do a significant amount of context and explaining for the benefit of those unfamiliar. If I've made any mistakes, feel free to point them out!
Also--so not dial-up friendly. Sorry.( Click to see Arrowette join Young Justice, yell at Superman and deal with her *mother.* )Next time, Cissie goes to the Olympic Games in Australia, gets a roommate and is eaten by fanmail.
(I totally need some Cissie icons--better yet, some Tim/Cissie icons. :) I could make them myself, but begging is more fun. ;) Plus, photoshop keeps quitting on me when I am working. Not cool.)
