Olicity Is Love

Hi! My name is Marni. OLICITY is my OTP.

[dust2dust34]

You all know that everyone left around the same time after Oliver’s party last night, but that Oliver was the last one to go, and that Felicity walked him to the door and they lingered, both of them wanting to say something but knowing that they didn’t have to, because they’re finally, finally finding the same page again, and it’s so, so significant and amazing. They stood at the door for a long moment, neither speaking, until Felicity reached for his hand. Oliver saw her moving, his hand already coming up to meet hers, like they’re goddamn magnets or something, and their fingers touched, oh so softly, gently… and then more, slowly, their fingers sliding against each other’s, against their palms, against the insides of their wrists. You know that they both watched their hands, amazed how such an innocent touch could mean so much more. You know their fingers tangled together, that they simply enjoyed each other’s touch, finally able to enjoy such a simple, tiny thing that they had denied themselves for so, so long. And then Oliver laced their fingers together, squeezing her hand before bringing their interlaced fingers up to his lips as he looked at her again. Her eyes were glued to their hands but she felt his gaze and she met his eyes right when he kissed the back of her hand. He whispered, “Thank you,” and they both knew it wasn’t just for the party, just as much as they both knew that if he kissed her right now, she wouldn’t stop him. But he didn’t, because while that would be so amazing, realizing everything that’s always existed between them, there’s an even stronger urge to do this the Right Way, starting with another first date.

(they’re gonna have another first date and i’m emotional as hell about it)

TV Line Lists Olicity as “Reunited Couple”

On their May Sweeps Scorecard, TVLine has declared Oliver and Felicity as offically reunited. If Matt Webb Mitovitch says it, then it must be true!

Oliver & Felicity | Locked Out Of Heaven (5x22)

What if the cliffhanger was Oliver and Adrian on a life raft with one gun?

What if the explosion is meant to make Oliver think that all his friends and family have been killed.. and that he is the only survivor responsible for the deaths? What if Adrian hands him a gun and like Kovar asks him to end it by either killing himself or killing Adrian?

What if we don’t find out Oliver’s choice till season 6 and that is the cliffhanger?

Is Oliver Queen a killer? or a hero? And will he find another way?

Oliver and Felicity verifying their relationship status with each other.  Because they can’t quite believe they’re on the road to getting back together.  They’re in the pinch-me-to-make-sure-this-is-real stage…and it’s so beautiful :)

So…

EMP busted all electronics - Check

Oliver thinks Chase got them trapped in there to be free to do whatever he wants outside - 

Wild Dog crack about Oliver not paying the bill was funny.

I love that Wendy refers to Oliver and Felicity as “our heroes” ❤

[almondblossomme-deactivated2022]

@tinaday3w the first time in season 5 I see Wendy and my blood pressure remains low.. and believe me I have 90/50 regular bp yet she has managed to raise it!!

This is a dude saying this. My faith in humanity is restored.

All of this is why Oliver and Felicity are finally at a place now in which they can believably reunite as a couple. While the two of them have always had magnificent chemistry and have always possessed the ability to make one another laugh or smile (just look at the grin on Oliver’s face after Felicity mentions that he’s finally using the front door of her apartment in tonight’s episode), they needed to reach a place of growth and maturity, a place in which they both could be sounding boards for each other, strong individuals that bring out the best in one another. That was there before in terms of Felicity always bringing the best out of Oliver, always inspiring him to be a true hero, someone that the people of Star City could look up to. But now that Oliver has confronted his demons, that he’s dealt with his original sin of being a killer for killing’s sake, he’s finally able to purge himself of the guilt and pain that restricted him before, that caused him to lie and keep secrets, which is the whole reason why Felicity broke off their engagement in the first place. Oliver is now ready and worthy to be a true partner to Felicity, and with next week’s episode, “Underneath,” centering on the two of them and featuring pretty much nothing but Oliver/Felicity scenes, I think he’ll be able to prove that to his former fiancée and put them on the path to their romantic reunion.

I am floored. Floored. 

This dude gets it. He understands how Oliver needs to be there for Felicity the same way she was always there for him. He needs to give her the agency to make mistakes and still come back from them, just like she’s given him all along.

I wanna marry you, Chris!

Oliver! Comeback! 

[marcguggenheim]

You're releasing script pages?! I've asked for the hospital scene from 4x10 ("for better, for worse") so many times! Take pity on me! Please!

[callistawolf]

LOVE that “How dare she” was ad-libbed.

SUPER glad they cut the “I promised I wouldn’t lie” line

The apology “It was really what I needed, I won’t make that mistake again” is super nice and I wish it hadn’t been cut. 

THE KISS WASN’T SCRIPTED

Oliver choosing the hero: Arrow  finale cliff-hanger speculation!

From now till the finale airs I will probably come up with different versions of how it could end. This one is based on the idea of Oliver choosing to abandon his interpretation of upholding his fathers legacy through killing and realising he honors Robert Queen best by embracing his inner hero.

After the final battle is fought, the good guys win, the bad guys are imprisoned in the ARGUS facility, but there is an explosive device set to decimate a part of the island in proximity to where the prisoners are being held and there is no way to shut it off. 

 The only solution is to get as far away from the explosion as fast as possible.  Oliver tells the team to get on the return boat, he says “I’ll see you on the boat”; and because he can’t be a killer anymore; he runs back and unlocks the prison cells and gate.. he lets the prisoners go.. because he choses to be a hero not a killer, he decides he can’t have their deaths on his conscience.  

So he lets them loose.. giving them the same survival chance he was given five years ago; a chance to survive stranded at sea in their own purgatory; knowing that there is a possibility that they may find their way off the island and come back to haunt him together or in sequence any time in the future! (season 6)

In essence; he turns their imprisonment into exile!

“If I Had a Boat” could be what the villains think once they are released on the island.. it could also be flashback Olivers thoughts when Anatoly comes back to help set him free of his Kovar torture and imprisonment before he is rescued by the fishermen boat!

The majority of the Arrow fandom seems to take one of two positions regarding Felicity: she’s perfect and always right, or she’s terrible with no redeeming qualities. I love Felicity, so if you hate Felicity, this post probably isn’t for you. She is one of my favorite characters. And I love her because she is a well-written, complex character. Which, sorry, means she has flaws, so let’s get rid of that pedestal some of you have been polishing. 

One of the most common criticism’s of Felicity is that she’s self-righteous and that she thinks she has no flaws. In essence there’s this position that Felicity thinks she’s perfect (I’ll talk more about her being self-righteous specifically in a second). And, frankly, she doesn’t. Just look at what she tells her father at one point “I grew up thinking I was broken”. The reason I think that some people get that impression is 1. from the fans who view Felicity as perfect and take her word as gospel in any disagreement, 2. because she’s juxtaposed against Oliver who is brimming with self-loathing and thinks he destroys everything he touches, so any measure of self-esteem looks extreme by comparison, and 3. because she is not as unguarded as she gives the illusion of being and actually keeps her insecurities locked away for the most part. So let’s look at what some of Felicity’s actual flaws are, and how aware of them she is. 

Felicity is a genius. That’s just fact. That means that growing up Felicity was a “gifted child”. One common struggle of gifted children is that they feel a pressure to be perfect. In all kinds of different ways- school, behavior, accomplishments. Felicity feels this push very acutely. That’s why her intelligence is always on full display, because her tasks have to be completed perfectly (you’ll notice she is generally very hard on herself if she feels she made a mistake). It’s why her appearance is typically completely pristine and put together (either in her more business-like professional attire, or when she chooses to get dressed up) even when you wouldn’t totally expect that level of togetherness (that and the fact that it’s a tv show). And that’s why she always feels a pressure to be the “good one”. This particular aspect is fed into by her father’s abandonment (a common reaction of children in this situation- which she outright expresses, as mentioned above- is the “what did I do wrong that he left me”) and by the fact that the team looks to her in that respect. This even twists into times when she feels she has to prove herself to the rest of the team in certain ways, like the time she’s been eager to be in on the action even though its not her disposition and not within her skill set. It is also the reason why she is often very guarded. Why she mostly chooses to grieve alone. Why she doesn’t talk about her past or her parents. Why she disguises her pain with humor. And why she appears to think she’s perfect- because she feels like she has to, because that is the expectation put on her by everyone else.
