To post or not to post? + funny scan

iesikaI've written two short DC ficlets this week, but I can't decide if I want to post them as is or wait until I have more. Both of them, are supposed to be part of a selection of scenes (but the two I've finished are not related to each other). One of them stars Young Justice (hence the icon) and features involuntary skinny dipping, and is supposed to be the first of three variations on the theme "Robin Gets Naked, Superboy Gets Shocked". It is, as one would expect, pretty much crack. The other is the result of me reading so much Green Arrow lately, while still having Robin On The Brain, and is one of what are supposed to be several Scenes From That Time Robin Went To Visit The Arrows, and involves Tim and Conner being half-naked and sweaty together while Ollie watches, but is not nearly as porny as that sounds.
The YJ one stands alone pretty well, even if I never finish the other two segments, but I think the Arrow one probably needs some set up. The problem is, I can't decide if I should set the visit before or after Mia joins the Titans. And I can't decide if my explanation of why Conner is suddenly mysteriously capable of driving a motorcycle in issue #34 of the current GA series should be part of this thingy or its own separate fic (if you can't guess, I want a certain underage speed demon to teach him).
Also, here's the funniest thing I've seen today:
(The blond is Mia, former teen prostitute and future Speedy, sidekick to Green Arrow. The guy who talks like a pirate is Scavenger, and he's hilariously hilarious. They're in a bidding war for the Arrowcar, Ollie's old crime fighting vehicle. In the end, however, they are sniped by Batman, who is apparently an eBay ninja as well as the regular kind).
Green Arrow is, as always, very fun, though I find myself constantly frustrated by the frequent inability for the colorists to GET CONNER'S GODDAMN SKIN TONE RIGHT. I could make a whole damn long post just about this, with all kinds of examples, and show you twice that they apparently forgot the Ashram he spent most of his life at is a Buddhist monastery, not a Christian order of some sort (which they apparently think requires funny haircuts). Conner's mom had a black dad and a Korean mom, and his dad (Ollie) is white. The kids at the Star Kids youth center call him Tiger Woods. Why the fuck do they keep painting him white! This pisses me off greatly. They did it to Empress in countdown, too - they made her inexplicably white. Anita's a voodoo priestess with a caribean accent, you stupid colorists. Did you get confused? Does no one read these before they go to print? No wonder people like Black Lightning feel the need to put a label in their name.
Okay, I'm done ranting. I think.
This is the point where I would like to express my extreme love for the character of Conner Hawke, Green Arrow II, and also to inform you all that he and Robin are totally in a coast-to-coast long distance relationship. Fandom has decided. Like they have decided that Conner is gay gay gayity gay, (to be fair, his dad and his pseudo-brother have made the assumtion as well). I declare that comics need more sexually ambiguous vegetarian martial artists/archers with hearts of gold. Also, there should be more stories like this.
