They're clearly whispering to each other as they go in for the kiss but lol at the idea that he is going in for the kiss to accomplish the whisper, rather than whispering his way into the kiss. Are her ears down her throat?

Wrt the disproportionate representation of female stalkers in fiction, I think it's precisely because IRL it's almost always men stalking women, and it is so sinister and dangerous it can't be played at all lightly. We have too many horrific real world cases. You can play with the idea of a woman stalking a man in ways you cannot play with a man stalking a woman, because of the IRL threat level mismatch. With a male stalker, we know somebody's gonna get raped, tbqh. A female stalker is easier to just play as a crazy person. A male stalker is very unlikely to not be a sexual predator. You would have to establish him as asexual to get away with it, fixated upon her brilliance or something and not a sexual being, period.

Tftnt!

I completely agree .For female stalkers they can make it come across as funny and more light-hearted but male stalkers are usually just really creepy. It's double standard but it makes sense.

yeah I thought the theory was weird too lol. but I'm pretty sure the kiss will get interrupted in some way. If it was a full kiss, I feel like it would have been showed in the promo in stead of just showing an "almost kiss"

Not surprised. Olicity is huge.

This year it was the 2nd or 3rd most tweeted/trending couples on twitter. Klaroline was 1st and TVD been 6 years. And they've actually kissed and done the deed while Oliver and Felicity were just looking and shoulder touching.

Seriously it's the power of Olicity.

Hats off to Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards, and of course the awesome fans and media who can't get enough of it. I love the show getting props. Arrow is awesome!

StarlingCity is proud of Oliver, and you guys keep reposting gifs of The Kiss, and the arrow writers retweet and I'm just


ETA: I will probably be using this gif quite frequently over the next few months

Read the beginning. I wonder if that is the season 3 monologue?
Ohhhh, I bet you are right. Because it makes no sense to say hellish island anymore. Looks like a good intro, and the little "I did" reflects the progress he's made, and the whole "to protect my" blah blah blah reflects his struggle for this season. great catch!

RE Emergency Awesome, I think he's smoking something. I don't think they'd both be looking like that if it was a ploy/he was saying something no one else could see. It does look like he's saying something, but I swear its her name. Its every Olicity ff come to life, lol.

Some on twitter were thinking that he was saying her name. Which if he is, I should probably stock up on tissues now. Just saying.

Japril, if you go on comixology you can preorder Arrow 2.5 digital comics. If you are looking for the Green Arrow comics which will soon include Felicity, you can order from a local comic book store, or you can order online from DC. Hope this helps!

Lol! I know right. Miracles can happen. I'm proud of him. Bring on Season 3!

That GIF basically summarises it all!

It was said before remember when the Arrow writers kept tweeting and posting about Olicity on Facebook. All the Olicity art in their writers room. They were trying to prepare you guys so you didn't go into shock.

I think S3 will be the best season so far!

haha i still think the kiss is going to get interrupted somehow. That's how these kind of things work .

We know Felicity gets hurt, what if she gets hurt in this scene? That would be depressing.

It definitely looks to me like he's saying her name.

These two idiots will be the death of me.

Nope, wrong dress for both of them. They get hurt later during the date.

As for your other point, I would normally agree win you. However, there are some mitigating factors here.

1. They already did the fake out with the "I love you" in the finale. I doubt they'd try again, although they may. However,
2. They talked about how Felicity and Oliver have a "raw discussion" about their relationship. I can see how a kiss before the date, which ends in disaster, would lead to a much more heart wrenching situation. They have feelings, they have acted upon them, they are on the verge of beginning something, bad things happen and he feels they have to end it. Talk about raw. It would be heart breaking.

And to make my point clear about how I feel about the discussion:


Told ya I'd need to use it again
