‘Okay, okay, before you say anything, just know that I never imagined the virus being used for something like this. I mean, sure, I could’ve imagined it, I actually have a very vivid imagination, like cronuts, I had a vision of them before-’ ‘Hey. Relax. Take a deep breath. Good. Now, start at the beginning.’ ‘I was in this, I guess you could call it a group. In college. We were “hacktivists”, for lack of a better word. Civil disobedience. We had a world wide web. I created this. This… super virus. I could give us root access to any infected server. We could expose government fraud, start virtual sit-ins and digitally deface criminals. I guess you could say it was my first attempt at being a hero.’ ‘Felicity, why didn’t you tell me about any of this?’ ‘Do we even know a fraction of what happened to you the five years you were away?’
‘I care about you. And I will always care about you. It’s a mortal lock.’
‘I care about you. And I will always care about you. It’s a mortal lock.’
‘Darhk sent the missile to Monument Point. I sent the missile to Havenrock. I killed tens of thousands of people.’ ‘To save millions.’ ‘Tell that to Rory’s family.’

‘I know I’ve only told you a little about the five years that I was away.’ ‘If by “little” you mean “hardly anything”.’ ‘I came back to Starling City, before they found me on the island.’ ‘I don’t understand.’ ‘It was complicated. I saw Thea. She didn’t see me. She had a drug-problem, so I confronted her dealer. I broke his neck. And I did it because I was angry, sure, but I also did it because I felt like I was protecting her. All I’ve ever wanted to do is protect her. Malcolm told me… He warned me about what Ra’s might do, but I never thought… I failed.’

‘We need Felicity here.’ ‘Oliver, she’s still at dinner with–’ ‘I don’t care where she is, we need her here.’ ‘You mean you need her any place where Ray Palmer isn’t.’ ‘This is not the time, Diggle.’ ‘Oliver, you’re in the field without your head on straight, I think this is exactly the time.’ ‘I’ve got it handled.’ ‘Doesn’t look that way to me.’ ‘What do you want me to say? Yes, it bothers me she’s out to dinner with Palmer, yes, it bothers me that apparently she is just moving on with her life, but I made a decision, she did too. And… I just… I want her to be happy.’ ‘If that were true, you’d be with her, man.’

On Arrow thoughts, Season 5 and me being me in fandom.
In the past couple of days, post-SDCC, I’ve thought about everything Arrow-y a lot. And I’ve thought about the reactions to stuff post-SDCC. Too much thinking, if I’m really being honest. I can’t help myself. I care about fandom, fandom is something important to me, and when I care, I overthink. Those are the ways of Sarah’s brain.
‘Just so you know, if you’d asked me, I would have said yes.’ (X)
‘It’s kind of amazing that we’ve made it this far.’ ‘We’re going to be fine.’ ‘How can you be so sure?’ ‘Because we found ourselves in each other.’
Some time ago, due to Emily’s Bello Magazine photos gracing the world and the fandom losing their mind over the gorgeousness that is Emily Bett Rickards, @dust2dust34 teased a Photographer AU. Evidently, my muse went a little mental. I spontaneously started a poster for it, back then. Now, with the new Mane Addicts pictures and her lovely pink hair and me just not getting over her beauty, I just couldn’t resist. A little bird named Bre told me her working title, et voila: I’m sharing the poster with world! See it as a tease… Go give gentle, sweet pokes for the fic, you might get the brain-child that spurred this on :)
