#301Gifs "The Calm"
First ep of the season means.. running through tall grass. Ready for a little Team Arrow action to kick off the season? This is one of my favorite pre-credit teasers.

See? Felicity doesn't know everything. Just.. most things.
Good to know.
Get ready for some...
FLIPPY ROYKOUR!!
It never gets old. 
OVERT OLICITY FLIRTING AHEAD
(For anyone who thinks she said "thrives in the light" like the CC said, sorry, it doesn't make sense. I made an executive decision on this. lol)
But WHO CARES, LOOK AT HER LEAN UP INTO HIM.

Pick your poison:
a) Oliver would rather sleep on the floor than sleep on the bed he shared with Sara there in S2
b) The writers totally forgot he already had a bed in there when they wrote this.
c) WHO CARES, THEY'RE SO CUTE

His big sigh, tho. Gahhhhh.
They've been watching these two flirt all summer.. this isn't a shared surprise look as much as a Hot Damn, it's about time! look.
Diggle, ever the watchful eye to this budding love story.
Early-in-the-ep Olicity scenes that suffer at the hands of opening credits are like a dagger to my heart. But this is SO cute.
brb worshiping at my Felicity Smoak Ponytail altar
Hates to see her go...
It would have been sweet to see this around new Little Sara's neck in the finale.
When antis say Olicity came out of nowhere, NO they didn't.
But! There was a big acceleration that's noticeable. They picked their horse in S2, but made sure to tread lightly. S3 started with their foot slammed on the gas, which I enjoyed greatly.

You can lie to yourself all you want, Oliver, but stop lying to Digg.
Because he knows better!
I'm so mad they didn't do a close up of this bit, I had to do a big zoom just to see it well. His little jog to catch up to her and his smiley face signals a nice change of pace for Oliver.
You know he's smitten when she's going on and on about how much work sucks and he just loves it.
At least she's honest?
Still. All. Muscle.
1) Casual Oliver is 
2) One of my absolute favorite Felicity dresses!
3) Outdoor scenes just made everything better.
4) THEY'RE SO PRETTY

This woman, who's had a crush on this man for so long, has just accepted that it's not going to happen, so much so that she thinks he's kidding. Her whole life is about to change.
A girl needs assurances, confirmations, and guidelines before reacting accordingly. You can try to convince me that, after this, Felicity didn't go straight home and scream into a pillow. But I wouldn't believe it.
Felicity actually renders suave, confident, playboy, been-through-everything Oliver unable to form full sentences. Dude's got it bad.
I'm not kidding when I say this might be one of SA's greatest moments ever caught on film.
FIRST DATE, BITCHESSSSS
Friends calling me during the day during the quarantine as I work from home.
He's been thinking about this non-stop since she said yes.
YEAH HE DOES
Saying this in the flashback, while doing everything he can to establish a life and a future in the present day.

Official stance on Ray before we get into seeing him more this season --
- I adore Brandon Routh
- I adored Ray on Legends (he was SO great)
- I appreciate what they were TRYING to do here
- I still didn't like Ray most of the time on Arrow

Afterlife Olicity
When you see your future, your forever.
"Love is too small a word."
My beautiful dorks who almost touch hands but pull back only to hug anyway.
Get up on those tippy toes, girl. I'm just surprised her leg didn't pop. lol
Let's be real, what's mostly going through their minds is.. oh my god, are we having sex tonight?
Aw, she's so scared that this isn't real, when he's just smiling and laughing because he's nervous as hell.
BABIESSSSSSSSSS
Please get drunk with me.
(Now I'm mad that we never got a drunk Olicity ep)
(Now I'm mad that we never got a drunk Olicity ep)
Anyone who's gone from friends to MORE knows this feeling exactly. It's exhilarating and terrifying and I love this for them.
This just sent me off thinking about how many "get to know you" convos they had in the foundry that we never saw. :(
Keep rambling, baby, you can do this.
This isn't helping with the whole "are we having sex tonight" running through their minds.
2016-2020
Pretty overwhelmed by the normalcy of this whole thing.
When I first saw this I thought this was some of the least romantic and awkward first date conversation he could have brought up. I cringed a little.
(Being an Olicity fan after 810)
But when he expertly turned that awkward conversation into why he's head over heels for her?
I swooned.
REEL=REAL
Her reaction to this iconic line is just as important as the line itself. She's seeing a whole new side to Oliver. The side that paid attention to more than just faces and exits and threats, but who paid attention to HER. From the very beginning.
We're so lucky.
"You're the very best part of me."
HERE COMES A MISSILE, GUYS
He startles awake, desperate to find her.
SUNFLOWER - they tend to symbolize longevity & loyalty, are well-recognized for the energy they represent, and can help to signify optimism. 
(The flower was on their table, so it's very possible this was just a coincidence... but the show is over so LET ME HAVE THIS.)

Carrying something (someone) down a long flight of stairs without holding onto something is no small feat, so don't ever tell me that Oliver Queen doesn't have superpowers.
So careful, so delicate with her.
He's so relieved.
You can see the guilt wash over him already. He feels responsible for this happening to her.
She startles awake, desperate to find him.
Lucky for them, they have all the time in the world from her to tell him these stories.
Don't hurt yourself there, Oliver.
Oliver confused about something Felicity says #477
I see that cut to Felicity, show.
Two steps forward, one step back. Insecurity issues are a pain in the ass.
Him looking directly at Felicity, because he wants that life with her. And Felicity KNOWING that he's referring to them. UGH.
No lie detected.
I mean. Yeah, but no?
My poor little OTA. Not one of their finest moments.
No eating the baby!
And the second Barry can't cope with something like a damn adult, it'll all change again.
MY BOYYYYSSSS
He wants it so much. A regular life, with her, with children. And even though he never got the long life with them that we all wanted, he did spend time with them, taught them, influenced them, and made the world a better place.
My first time watching, I remember my stomach dropping when he said this. I was hoping that seeing them in the room together would make him fight for it. But I was dumb, we had a whole season of angst to get through first.
She put this off because she knew what he was going to do. She knows how he operates by now.
She can't even open her eyes to look at him doing this. It hurts.
The bottom line really is just that he doesn't want her or anyone close to him getting hurt. That was a big thing he had to get through over the years. He's lost so much already, and he just can't lose more. He can't lose her.
(later seasons have entered the chat)

I get it. I really understand Felicity here. She went so long just accepting that it won't happen, it's easier that way. To know, no matter what.
That doesn't change how you feel, but it can help to cope with those feelings when it doesn't work out.
LOL right after she tells him to stop sending mixed signals, he does this. So.. on one hand, this is really bad. On the other, far more important hand..
WHO CARES! WHAT A FIRST KISS!
WHO CARES! WHAT A FIRST KISS!
What? You want multiple gifs of their first kiss? Well, if you insist.
All that's missing is a string of saliva between them.
"That has always been the way with us, Felicity, you are the one who brings the light."
.......................
She warned you.
Oliver left alone with his hands, which will probably come in handy over the next 18 episodes.
