Easy to say when you know what happens after the fact.
Laurel knew what? She knew, from Thea who was practically dead but came back fine, and from Malcolm’s words, "There are waters in Nanda Parbat. They’ve permitted Ra's to live for over a hundred years. And in rare instances, told in legend, those waters have been used to restore the dead to life.“ So, as far as she knew, her sister would be fine.
Nyssa, on the other hand, couldn’t have known either. Her father bathed in it, what every month? After every major injury? They say no one knows for sure, but Nyssa did? Why didn’t she say it clearly? ‘Hey, my dad told me everything about this Life Pit and if you do this Sara is gonna be like a demon’. But she didn’t.
So, why was she so forceful? Maybe cause she’s a toxic controlling person. Sorry, “lover”. Tell me why Nyssa, some Ex, has more say over Sara than her sister? ‘Oh, she loved her!’ Yeah, so does Laurel. More than Nyssa even. Do you think Miss ‘I’m gonna kill your mom and city if you don’t come back to me and my terrible dad’s murder organization and do what you hate and never talk to these people again’ Beloved cares more than Sara’s sister? Her sister, might I add, who lost her before? Who she was just reconciling with? Who found her body cause it was dropped right in front of her 10 minutes after they talked?
Y’all real quick to dehumanize Laurel. ‘Oh, she should have known!’ How? How could she have known? ‘She did it for herself!’ Oh, so you think Sara wanted to be dead? Y’all really think a sister wouldn’t do anything for her sibling? I would 100% do the same thing. My sister died but I knew a way to bring her back, even if there are complications, I would do it. I would do that in a heartbeat. I don’t even have to think about it, no doubt, no hesitation.
But it’s amazing how it’s Laurel who is selfish when who brought Thea to the Pit first? Oliver. When Caitlin Snow said she’d rather die than be Killer Frost but Julian still forced her to transform, still ripped the necklace off, was that selfish? Oliver consistently puts others in danger and just drops everything for his family but no one else can do that? He had no right to berate Laurel.
“How can you even look at Sara after what you’ve done?” Cause that’s her sister bitch. Stop giving up on people. Stop making mistakes than just leaving. Laurel is one of the few characters who actually stays and fixes her problems. Fixes her depression, addiction, relationships and now her sister.
Oh, and the whole, ‘She’s lucky Oliver knew Constantine!’ thing is pretty bull. You think they never would have found him? Or someone else? It’s almost like we don’t know people who use magic. Almost like they haven’t fought magic users and this didn’t start from Magic Water.
Yeah, Laurel shouldn’t mess with stuff she doesn’t understand, but she wasn’t wrong. Don’t act as if being in situations they do not belong in isn’t how every character started.
