honestly, if they resurrected laurel in the last episode, the show is somewhat redeemed lol

we need our ‘tale of two laurels’

star crossed lovers is lauriver, im sorry, they tried. if it was laurel walking through that portal, saying its my turn to go home to him, that shit would have made me bawl.

Oliver’s regret about not telling Felicity he loved her sooner... I can’t deal with this bs ship, hahaha. Maybe he couldn’t because he was a little busy rekindling a flame with Sara before he said “I love you” in Season 3. Before then, maybe it was because he was pursuing Laurel as the “love of his life.” Maybe he couldn’t say it sooner because he literally didn’t love her then. 

I’ve accepted the premise that Oliver and Felicity end up together and are now the main romance of the show. I’ve talked about how it could have worked if they invested in developing it rather than wedging them together at the start of Season 3 and force the audience to believe he’s been in love with her all this time when that wasn’t the case. But nonetheless, it’s here, it’s happened, and it’s still happening. As you said, Lauriver was described as starcrossed lovers by Guggenheim but, again, that was all fake because Oliver loved Felicity since the pilot when she didn’t even exist like *explodes*

saame, absolutely hated it.

ayyy I’m glad i’m not alone on this one. Someone was saying this should have been the series finale, and I was like... yeah, no. I’ve been prepared for a disappointing series finale since Season 3, when the “Olicity drive off in the sunset together” was described by Guggenheim as “feeling like the end of the series,” and so I feel like we’re going to be delivered similarly disappointing endings like that one. That’s not directly aimed at Olicity, but aimed at the neglect of all the other characters that made the show what it was: In the Season 3 finale, all the others were relegated to “the team” and their ending wasn’t distinct and unique for each character but one that lumped them all together and was done. That’s what I also didn’t like in this finale for Laurel was that we got a moment between her and Oliver where he thanked her and then she just left and it was like??? That’s the type of shit we’re going to be left with next season if there’s even room to show Laurel. They killed Emiko. They allowed this whole Crisis thing to dictate Oliver’s ending (and Felicity’s) with magical bullshit that just doesn’t work for Arrow. I’m so disappointed. I know we’ve all been saying it, but I really miss what this show used to be, and for a while there it tapped back into it (especially the first half of Season 7) but that was very short-lived and we got what we got in this finale...

I AM CRYING. WHAT IS GOING ON?!

ONLY EVERYTHING WE’VE EVER WANTED*

*since the show destroyed everything we had with earth-1 laurel lance and everything set-up in the first two seasons of the series

what was your favorite wally moment, were there any storylines you wanted to see, and what was your favorite relationship he had on the show?

i really loved wally and iris’ relationship, and loved that they were so in sync with each other, but really appreciated any and all moments we got between him and barry. relationship wise, really dug the jesse/wally stuff we got

as i’ve said in the past, i’d rather him lose his powers and stay on the show than to keep his powers, go to legends for like 4 episodes, and leave arrowverse forever so in terms of storylines, i would have loved to have seen anything that kept him on the flash

personally, i really loved the arc of him integrating into the west family and him becoming his own hero as kid flash, and taking over when barry was gone

my shipper heart lol xD

diggle and lyla till the day I DIE

[queencanaries]

were you a fan of felicityxdiggle?

as a romantic relationship? no 

[queencanaries]

what was your favorite thea moments from arrow :)

one of my favourite moments for thea is when she finds out oliver is the arrow and just accepts him because she just wanted to feel the closeness she had with her brother that she had before he went on the gambit and him letting go of that secret and letting her in on it brought them back to that relationship she missed and she was so accepting and ugggghh it was perfect

also literally anytime she was suited up as speedy

also literally any scene she shared with laurel and/or her relationship with laurel was a focus of her scenes 

the majority of thea/moira and thea/roy scenes

also i’m a lil too intoxicated to rememebr specific moments HELP lmao
