Midnight Lullaby

I might be wrong but the impression I get is that he is one of those people that needs to be busy, even if sometimes it can be too much, because having too much free time feels worse.

He basically said the SL he was talking about was the company..he even said it wasn’t going to be called Smoak Technologies (specifying it wasn’t because she was going to change her name to Queen so the interview must have been after the wedding). The subject of discussion is mostly if what we saw so far can be described as a SL.. I feel in the same way. I feel all three of them have taken a supportive role. Maybe also because the only real “connection” a villain has with one of the good guys is BS with Dinah. Usually it’s Oliver/main villain.

If you are talking about posts you read on here I’m honestly baffled and also saying people think being a mother has no meaning in life is a pretty strong judgment to say about people you don’t even know. We should talk about the show here, no one knows what anyone thinks about real life people and insinuating something like that to defend a fictional SL doesn’t seem right to me. I can speak for myself and say that I don’t think Felicity is getting anything of substance because she currently has no SL. Being William’s mom isn’t a SL, they just put a few scenes here and there, there’s no struggle, there’s no going from point A to B. There was at the beginning but now it’s just a cute scene here and there so to me it’s not a SL. Like if she was CEO having one scene here and there of her typing in her office wouldn’t be a SL. I don’t know why wanting the writers to fulfill the promises about making Felicity start her own company can be taken as something negative. I like when she has something that has nothing to do with Oliver that can be the company or something else because it means more time dedicated to a character I enjoy. I respect moms that don’t work and moms that work and I can’t believe I even need to specify that.

Sorry if I take the character’s wish, expressed on screen, to want to start a company to say that’s what the character wants to do and not what you deduct from BTS reasons. It doesn’t matter what they do or don’t do with that SL, Felicity said she wanted to start the company on screen and that’s canon. If MG says they planned something for Felicity they wanted to do last year and then says they wanted to have her start her company in S5 but “got seduced” by the Helix SL in interviews it’s normal people want him to deliver and again it’s pointless to the discussion that was about what Felicity wants. If you want to say Felicity doesn’t care about starting the company we can agree to disagree because I go by what they make her say on screen and it’s pointless to argue.

I never said her goal in life was to make money. I said she wanted to make a difference and she wanted to do that with her company. This year she decided to start a company even before she decided what the company’s goal was going to be so what was that about? She didn’t really want to start a company but she decided to do exactly that for unknown reasons?

I think in the Bee episode she said she’s always wanted to make a difference and she can do it by mass producing the microchip..I don’t remember the words, only the bad puns about wanting to be a beecon of hope, lol. I also remember EBR talking about how Felicity liked being a CEO, that she was good at it and that producing the chip was really important to her..it’s pretty sad tbh.

I think the “apron gate” happened because people like to be dramatic and take things to the extreme. I can believe there are people that think baking is sexist even if I didn’t see any of that. But I saw a lot of tweets of people annoyed that the only thing Felicity has, other than her supporting role, is having some scenes as a stepmom a few times this season that isn’t even a SL for me because it’s one scene here and there and it’s a role. Annoyed because they’ve always written Felicity has ambitious, yet she hasn’t had a job for ages and they promised Smoak Tech so I think there wouldn’t be complains if it didn’t feel they were forgetting about that to focus on the newbies and Lance/BS. And I saw lots of tweets calling out people having a problem with stayed at home moms and baking when, from what I saw, it wasn’t even close to the point. If people talked, instead of attacking right away, probably there would be less drama.

That’s exactly how I feel. I went from “okay, it works to OMG why does he have to always be there?!!”

I didn’t care about the scene because I can’t connect with William as a character and I can’t help but think if he wasn’t there there would be better scenes because Olicity alone together are great. Still it’s pretty much the same if that scene exists or not, the problem is that there’s nothing about Felicity’s SL.

I want the focus to shift from this ridiculous mess to anything about Felicity and Diggle. It isn’t written anywhere that they have to focus on the newbies or Lance reenacting Misery with psycho killer Laurel.

Like “I decided to drop the project because I can’t work with Curtis anymore”? LOL

I can accept people questioning the way OTA entered the bunker but it becomes ridiculous when on the other side you have NTA messing with Dig’s chip and Rene shooting at Thea, Lance and Felicity and coming at Oliver with an axe. One side was impolite and the other attempted to murder them.

I have no proof but I’m willing to bet the plot for this season was decided while heavily drinking.

I think Rene is the worst but Dinah is the one that drags down the show more because they spend time on her and her boring drama so thinking about the future I’d get rid of Dinah, if I only had to judge who is worse I’d get rid of Rene. But I wouldn’t kill anyone, I’d send them away because I remember what happened with LL..she was a background character no one really cared that much about (with the exception of Thea and Lance) but after she died she became a saint that had to be mentioned every episode.

Yeah, my main problem with CL’s acting is that sometimes she talks weirdly, I don’t always understand her well, but she is able to give her character layers while the other two can’t.
