Reasons why Oliver and Laurel should be together
Because they are wonderful together when Oliver doesn’t have his head up his ass. laurelisblackcanary
Because Laurel is the only one that will force him to make eye contact. (Very noticeable season 1). iwishiwereanewok
Because are imperfect, and it’s the imperfections that are the most alluring. Their relationship is tragic yes, although it’s real and grounded. Olivers soul purpose to surviving on that island was because the picture Laurel gave him kept him alive! They are like tides thrashing down against the ocean. Laurel is the only person who can talk Oliver down. She stopped him from ending his own life. Laurel is Olivers anchor, they hold eachother in place. I have 1000 other reasons but I’d be here all night!! Basically they complete eachother! wildfirekitteh
Because "you're important to me"; "you are more important to me than anyone" hales23x3
Love isn’t always easy. Love isn’t always longing looks into each other’s eyes. It’s about wanting to be better for someone else. And they both want to be better for the other.
I love Laurel and Oliver because Laurel’s heart and Oliver’s mission have fused to give them a better sense of purpose.
I love Laurel and Oliver as a couple because they do have storylines outside of each other.
I love Laurel and Oliver because it’s one of the most adult relationships on this show. To me, the fact that they explore the dynamic and neither is right is one of the least toxic things about the show. Oliver and Laurel debate.
Most of all, while Oliver went against his no kill rule for Felicity. He didn’t survive for her. He still wanted to die when she gave him her epic hero speech. It was Laurel who saved. He lived for Laurel. He’s always lived for Laurel. piratequeennina
