statsgirl January 17, 2018 Share January 17, 2018 IIRC they showed Oliver with the ring in his hand with the souffles already baked. So logic argues he would have had to put it in the whipped cream. That's all I got. Link to comment

I’ve always thought it was super gross. Did the guy make sure that ring was disinfected before he put it and all the millions of germs that must be on it in his girlfriend’s champagne or dessert or baked potato? Doubtful.

That makes me wonder what happens to germs when you disinfect something. They don’t just disappear, right? Is this hypothetical glass of champagne now rife with microscopic germ carcasses just floating around in there? Would it be rude to ask for a new glass of champagne in this situation? Because I feel like drinking a tiny dead germ pool would kill the romance. Link to comment
lemotomato January 17, 2018 Share January 17, 2018 ::puts on scientist hat:: The alcohol content in a glass of champagne is not high enough to really do much disinfecting. Alcohol (ethanol) needs to be at around 100-150 proof to be used for sanitizing, so something like Everclear or Barcardi 151. 18 minutes ago, Hiveminder said: Would it be rude to ask for a new glass of champagne in this situation?

That's what stomach acid is for besides digestion-- to kill germs in what you eat. 7 Link to comment
Mellowyellow January 17, 2018 Share January 17, 2018 I'm not too worried about the germs but diamonds are grease magnets and it would take quite a bit of effort to scrub those diamonds clean again! The crime of dirtying a shiny new ring like that!!!!! Not to mention I always wonder if the girl would be happy with the specs of the diamond chosen if she had no say in it. 1 Link to comment

Some places will sell the guy the setting but let him choose a place holder diamond until she can come in and pick out her own. Others I've heard of having a "starter ring" that gets upgraded when they have more money down the road, lol. I assume by the time your husband proposed he knew enough to include you in picking out the ring? Link to comment

I still wear it heaps actually because it's easier to wrangle the kid with it compared to the upgrade. Plus they are set in different colour gold settings so I still get good use out of the starter! Thanks for the gif @SmallScreenDiva Link to comment
BkWurm1 January 17, 2018 Share January 17, 2018 (edited) Did he know you well enough at least to pick out what you liked? Or did your passion for rings start because he didn't,? :D Edited January 17, 2018 by BkWurm1 Link to comment

Mellowyellow January 27, 2018 Share January 27, 2018 Guys!!! I need help *whines* I need a very auspicious Olicity fic for Lunar New Year so I thought I'd made it somewhat canon compliant (albeit super silly because I'm a silly person) which to me is more auspicious than an auspicious AU. And what could be more auspicious than an Olicitot. BUT I really want to write a fic where for some reason Oliver has to take said tot on a mission in an ergo. I just can't decide if he would actually ever do that for fear of endangering the child. Hence I am stumped and may just revert to an AU of some kind. Could Oliver foreseeably take a baby on a mission? I have all the other details planned out, I just can't get over whether he'd actually take a baby on a mission! A safe-ish one........

I can’t imagine him ever willingly doing that. It would have to be some kind of situation where he really, truly has no other choice. Like maybe he and the kid are someplace that’s attacked and they have to escape. There would have to be absolutely no one around who he can leave the kid with, and no place he can hide the kid until things are safe. 2 Link to comment

Well, does it have to be a very serious mission? Imagine, Oliver takes baby Smoak-Queen (Please do not name this kid any variation of Ellie. There are already eleventy billion of them.) to some kid friendly mayoral function. Something ridiculous happens. Like a meta with the power to turn people into inanimate objects or something shows up, and starts turning everyone into, like, paperweights or something. Oliver has to stop him, but he can’t leave the baby behind because not only is everyone around them a paperweight, but the baby will probably try to lick all the people/paperweights lying around (I once knew a kid who licked everything.) and Oliver is really uncomfortable with the idea of his child licking paperweight versions of the city council. His only tech support is William, who was not at the function because he thought it was lame, but was able to get to the bunker unharmed when people suddenly started turning into paperweights. This can result in hijinks, because William doesn’t really know how to be tech support (being a teenager). Everyone else is a paperweight. (They can be personalized: Felicity is a yellow smiley face, Dig is an arm, Lance is whatever shape best represents exasperation. Oliver will, of course, keep paperweightFelicity in his pocket.) A phone call to Barry (who can’t come help cause he’s got some stuff going on) tells Oliver and William the meta’s most likely hideout and that there’s a time limit before the paperweight people are stuck that way (giving Oliver no time to get the baby somewhere safe unless he wants to spend the rest of his life married to a paperweight (he does not)). So Oliver has to take the baby with him to confront the meta, and that’s where my imagination fails me. 11 Link to comment

BkWurm1 January 31, 2018 Share January 31, 2018 (edited) I really enjoyed this one. Under 3000 words. It's more mellow than the description implies. Of Cinnamon, Coffee, & Cohabitation SmoakScreen (midwestwind) Summary: A well-oiled machine doesn’t just spring into existence. It’s built - one painstaking piece at a time - until each piece comes together to function in harmony. So, when it comes to building her family, Felicity is willing to put in the work.
