“Not every media consumer interacts within a virtual community yet; some simply discuss what they see with their friends, family members, and workmates. But few watch television in total silence and isolation. For most of us, television provides fodder for so-called water cooler conversations. And, for a growing number of people, the water cooler has gone digital.”
-Henry Jenkins, Convergence Culture (2006)
Tumblr and Fan Interactions
An excerpt from my research paper on which I based this website, :
One of the biggest places for fans to live online is Tumblr. Tumblr is a place mainly used for fans to both directly and indirectly interact with each other. On Tumblr, “users can post small messages in the form of text, photos, quotes, links, audio, and video” (Hillman). The user can then tag the post with key terms that allow the post to show up when another user searches for those key terms. Other users can also like and share these posts on their own blogs with the option to add on their own comments. Users can also follow each other; when one user follows someone, that person’s posts will show up on the original user’s dashboard. Fans share pictures, fan art, fanfiction, videos, gifs, and text posts with their opinion on a certain topic (Hillman). Users can also send each other private messages, by name or anonymously, to more directly interact with one another. Tumblr allows people to connect with people on the sole basis of a common interest. Users may not know each other’s names, but they are united through the things they love, and for them that is enough.

“Felicity Smoak is one of the smartest, most badass women on the planet. I married a woman just like that.”
Felicity Smoak and Lyla Michaels parallels FTW!
2x06/ 4x02
Let’s just take a minute to celebrate the amazingness of these two scenes.
And the character development.
In 2x06, “because of the life I lead…”
In 4x02, “if you think we made a mistake…”
Their life together. They’re not alone anymore. I melt every single time Oliver uses “we” to talk about him and Felicity. For someone who thought he’d have to be alone, couldn’t be with someone that he could care about, he’s come so far.
I feel like in 2x06, when Oliver was trying to explain himself, he, in a way was trying to comfort Felicity when he said that Isabel didn’t mean anything, and he couldn’t be with someone he could really care about. Which obviously didn’t work, it only upset her more.
And in 4x02, he’s comforting her and saying all the right things. He’s reassuring her, that they didn’t make a mistake. It will just take time.
Nothing worthwhile ever comes easy.
He’s not only talking about them being back in Star City. He’s talking about them being together. It wasn’t easy. But it’s sure as hell worth it.
she’s wearing the same shirt in these scenes.
I still can’t believe that fanfiction is free
I sometimes have to pay for water, but with a phone and some wifi, I get to read whole novels about my favorite characters for exactly zero additional dollars
How goddamn rad is that
all the love to the fanfic authors who make this possible, y'all are the best

Chapters: 31/? Fandom: Arrow (TV 2012), Firefly Rating: Explicit Relationships: Oliver Queen/Felicity Smoak Summary:
Sometimes a payday ain’t exactly what it seems.
Gah, the end of this chapter, WHEW! I mean, probably not so good for their injuries but it’s good stuff, if you know what I mean. ;)
And you get Simon and Anatoly–the buddy comedy about morally ambiguous Russian mobsters and stiff fugitive space doctors you never knew you needed. Plus we get to learn more about Alina–and ultimately how Felicity is a total cupcake in every ‘verse, and Oliver is a gobsmacked, lovestruck fool.
Another awesome chapter–if you have not given this fic a try, you are missing out!!! :D
#me when things get awkward
who has done a giveaway before? I need help on how to do this. I wanna start it up after thanksgiving but I’ve never done one and I’m not real tech savvy when it comes to some things I’ve seen on here. so if you can help me in any way, please contact me!
#SMOAKNLANCE
Happy Birthday, Tracy. @scu11y22 This quote is from the book, Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander book #2)
This is SO beautiful, Mel!
Ahh - and now you’re making me miss Outlander!
I suppose this would be called the Olicity sparkle series part 2. They are pretty to look at, and square for icon use. I may have a thing for sparkles, or this background. Could be both. lol. Part 1 OTA set *If you use one please be loverly and reblog this so others can too. Plus, giving me credit would just make you a stellar being. I am apparently on a roll, so how do you guys feel about a Original Team Arrow set? Maybe even a solo one for Oliver and Felicity and such too?

According to another tweet she also gets very panicky. Hopefully people will stop shading her and (in some cases) directly tweeting her aggressively demanding she comes to cons. Instead lets appreciate the precious cupcake positively :).

It really bothers me that I see fans trying to defend Katie Cassidy from the inevitable bullshit she gets every time she does a con by getting all ‘well EMILY didn’t even BOTHER to TURN UP’ like. No. First - Katie and Emily are friends, you really think either would be cool with you bashing the other? Second, you don’t get to judge an actor for not going to these things, actors are actual people with real lives fans have no inkling of, that the fandom has no right to feel possessive about; actors are not obligated to entertain you in their spare time.
On top of that, if Emily has some kind of anxiety issue, conventions will be a NIGHTMARE for her, and the fandom should be grateful she turns up to ANY of them. (and even if she DOESN’T have an anxiety issue, again - she is under no obligation to spend her spare time entertaining fans, jfc).
I feel like a lot of the fandom’s attitude to situations like this comes from a total lack of understanding of what cons are actually like for actors, so I’ve broken some shit down under the cut for anyone interested.
Keep reading
This is really important, and totally fair. I found just GOING to a Con quite emotionally overwhelming - there’s a lot of people, it’s busy, it’s loud, there’s a lot going on, and there are people there you’re SUPER excited to meet, the adrenaline is flowing etc - it was absolutely wonderful, but exhausting and more than a little bit overwhelming at times.
I remember thinking at the time what a crazy experience it must be for the actors / guests - the attention, everyone’s hopes pinned on them, the expectation to give everyone their moment that they’ll remember, not to mention the stress of not knowing what on earth someone might do or say at any moment - I can well imagine that it would be incredibly nerve wracking, and easily very scary.
So, yes - I totally agree that EBR’s reasons and wishes need to be respected - and she certainly doesn’t have to explain them. I actually admire her for knowing what she is and isn’t happy doing, and sticking to that - despite probably not insignificant pressure to go to them, and the very considerable amounts of money she could make doing them.

Still stuck on Oliver.Gun
How do you think Olicity will end the season? (Sometimes I worry they'll have them break up tbh)
Like I said in the beginning of s04, each premiere they show Oliver’s personal wish and, at the end of each season, the writers granted him that.
S01, Oliver’s wished to go back home and fit again while doing his father’s final wish - he sorta managed to that but not like he pictured. He got new friends, learned a bit more of himself and let go of his past.
S02 Oliver’s wish was to find another way to fight crime and he did, he found it and became a hero by not killing Slade.
S03 Oliver’s wish was to have a life outside the Arrow and be with Felicity, so of course it ended the season with him going away with her.
S04 Oliver’s wish was to marry Felicity, so following the pattern, Oliver will have Felicity as his wife by the 4x23.
Arrow, at same time they love to sell the idea they are ~wild, they keep the show’s structure pretty much the same thing. A season, to Oliver, is a journey to get what he wanted in the beginning and honestly? This formula works perfectly.
#taking care of hubby
Like I know Felicity is totally badass in her own right, believe me I KNOW but Bre, it's so freakin adorable that 30 year old Oliver Queen who can kill a man with his bare hands and is the big bad Green Arrow quakes in his boots when 25 year old Felicity Smoak, adorable cupcake and former "just an IT girl" tells him whats up. The fact she puts him in his place is one of the reasons he loves her so much. This ship is just too perfect I cant
I know it, beautiful anon, I know it!
They are absolutely the perfect match for each other, they truly are - the literal yin yang of OTP’s. The compliment and balance each other in the best ways possible.
I’m fine.
