Ya think?
REALLY? IT TOOK HIM THAT LONG TO REALIZE THEY SCREWED UP? Sexism at its finest.
here;s what I think happened. Laurel/KC is comgin up on this big 3 episode arc thing. They want to play that up. Which is normal, that’s to be expected. But in order to do that they are choosing her as The Only Woman Who Matters, they are playing in ton this idea that only ONE WOMAN can be important, only ONE WOMAN can be celebrated and promoted. And that is why they only invited one woman to a panel of 16 people. They’ve chosen the Lead Female Character for the rest of the season, and they don’t feel the need to care about or promote or pay any attention to any of the other women.
Oh yeah. It’s true.
What makes this even more of a shitshow though? Well, if you don’t feel like digging through all the legalese to find this section, I’ve done it for you. This is what it says as of 2014-01-25, 19:53 PST:
Read that. Read all of it. Not just the legalese in white. Not just the “skimmer-friendly” version in gray. Read both and notice how they technically, for all legal purposes, say the same things…yet completely contradict one another from any practical standpoint. The gray boxes are all nice and friendly. The legalese is basically a great big ol’ FUCK YOU.
So yeah, signal boost the hell out of this.

to anyone thinking it’s not a big deal and probably nothing will come of it: after 9/11 AOL collected chat sessions of their users discussing the tragedy. It all went into a book that sold quite well and the users didn’t see any of those profits
I wish Twitter had a blacklist too...blocking people does not stop them from appearing on your feed if someone else retweets them.
Bad thing about a writer's mind
#you know one of the great things about the count figuring out oliver is the hood? #there’s no disguise here #he doesn’t bother to hide his identity with the paint or the hood #it lets us see everything on his face #it lets *felicity* see his face #lets felicity know that it’s *oliver* there to save her #the hood does not save felicity smoak in this scene #the hood does not kill the count #*oliver queen* saves felicity #and *oliver queen* is the one who kills the count (via andyouweremine)

TVAddict: Stephen Amell Talks Arrow Season 2
"Tommy’s death, and specifically what Tommy thought of Oliver when he died is going to leave a lasting imprint, not just for season 2, but for the series. It fundamentally changes why Oliver does what he does. And… you know… I’ll never have a tougher day on set than shooting that scene with Colin. Especially because… there was a part of that scene that was edited out of the show, and it was a… I said a prayer in Chinese after he passed away….
….What happened with Tommy is going to stay with Oliver forever."
"I said a prayer in Chinese after he passed away."
Leave me here.
#Tommy Merlyn is dead and I am not okay#BUT NO HE PRAYED A CHINESE PRAYER THAT HE LEARNED ON THE ISLAND#HE PROBABLY LEARNED IT FROM SHADO AFTER YAO FEI DIED#AND - IF EVERYONE ON THE ISLAND DIED BEFORE THE BOAT FOUND HIM IN EPISODE ONE#HE PROBABLY PRAYED IT OVER SHADO #HE PROBABLY PRAYED IT OVER SLADE#HE PROBABLY WENT TO HIS FATHER’S GRAVE AND PRAYED IT THERE TOO#AND THEN HE PRAYSE IT OVER TOMMY#BECAUSE HIS BEST FRIEND IN LIFE HAS JUST DIED#AND THAT IS THE ONE THING THAT OLIVER QUEEN #CAN *NEVER* RECOVER FROM#leave me alone to cry
#you are a horrible person #i need you to rethink your choices #because why would you say that to me? #why would you make me think again about those final moments Oliver had with Tommy? #when he held his dying friend in his arms #felt the life leave his body #felt Tommy take his last breath #felt him exhale for the last time #and felt his body go still #tears streaming down his face he watched his best friend close his eyes never to open them again #and he bowed his head down to Tommy’s forehead and he probably whispered the prayer against cheek #maybe he hoped that somehow Tommy would come back #that if he hoped hard enough and that if he believed strongly enough #that he could will Tommy back to life almost like he wills his body to do impossible things everyday #but it never happened #and he stayed with Tommy until he could feel the cold chill of death creep into his skin #and then he stayed even longer (via open-pandoras-box)
GUYS!!! *ugly sobbing*
Okay gif makers...I think we need a Captain Amell gif!
Or something in that family. Haha.
YES PLEASE!!!
We have this one for now.
[hides in the corner and screeches quietly into her hands]
I feel bad for bringing Tommy up, but it’s just perfect for it!
No, no, why.would you being up Tommy!
Because he would ship it too! He’d through them the party of all parties.
This is not a path we should go down again.
Haha. Yeah. Probably not. But the feels!
I just realized...
My Tommy/Thea ship was killed tonight too... I just can't...
you’ve lied to me all this time.
“I hate him. And I don’t…I don’t like hating people. But I just put all my hate on him so that I don’t have to hate anybody else. So that I can be a good person, ya know? To my grandmother, to my friends, to your daughter. And that’s all I want to say, I just want to tell him to his face I hate him. But he doesn’t even have a face.”
