Processing Arrow s7 finale the next day.

Last night I wrote a post right after Arrow ended and re-reading it now, after a good night morning of sleep, rewatching the damn thing, reading around here, and listening to the Watchover podcast - which is basically therapy - I realize how pissed and greedy I sounded lol. Listen, I was so busy whining and wailing that I missed the dialogue between Felicity and The Monitor and I misinterpreted the scene.

Silly me was high on the feels and when things don’t get my way I flip...I’m just human after all.

I think the juice we can squeeze out of that post is that obviously, I want happy endings for everyone. The thing that still irks me is the 20 years apart, let’s be honest here; being the Olicity/Oliver Queen whore that I am, I just kept repeating “They all deserved better”. Both Felicity and Oliver - especially Oliver - sacrificed so much these past years, they went though various stages of hell, it’s fitting that I want them to be happy in the end raising a family together. The flashforwards were depressing as hell, mostly. Not what the Queen family deserved imo.

This is where me (half) clinging to the “Crossover Fix It” theory comes out to play. It’s what we do right? To protect ourselves we make up excuses, and scenarios just to accept a situation for what it is now because obviously everything’s fucked-up ...just to get better later. Uhm..being more myself now, I don’t think the crossover is gonna fix shit and this is why last night’s season finale was so bittersweetly (?) perfect. You can’t erease a finale like that, it was a masterpiece. This is how Arrow is, it’s a hero story and hero stories are not fluffy perfect. I can’t expect a pure fanfiction outcome from a show like Arrow and I just have to accept that. 

Now, season 8? I’m gonna watch it live, I got no freaking clue what they’re gonna do with it buttttt...if Satan’s butthole crossover presents the possibility of spawning a new timeline, oh my god I’m all for it. In the original timeline my OTP is happily together forever cruising the multiverse and in the new/au one I get my fluffy unicorns and rainbows, be it Oliver and Felicity returning on our Earth in 2040-something (cuz sorry Monitor dude..I don’t believe your no return scenario) or back safe and sound in alternate 2018 or after Mia’s birth idk, whatever, yes gimme.

Whatever the outcome my OTP is happy and I’m happy. That was the goal and we achieved it. OTP bliss.
