Here are my shirbert bookmarks on ao3! There’s tons of good stuff to read in there. 

To everyone who was in this fandom with me, and here to the end of the line, thank-you. Thank-you so much for everyone who theorized with me, laughed, cried, screamed at the TV with me. 

Thank- you for reading my fics, sharing my fics, commenting on my fics. Thank-you to all my mutuals. Thank-you to everyone who followed me who I didn’t follow back. Thank-you to the people who I follow.

Thank-you for the best five years of my life, when I didn’t know what Arrow or Tumblr was. So thank you so so so much! It has been a great ride!

That said, I’m sad to say this blog will no longer be active since Arrow is over. I created this blog for Arrow specifically, and shall remain as such.  If you wish to continue following me and my witty, sarcastic humor, I can be found over at :

I was, how did you miss that!? 😂 The entire detailed account (minus some spoilers that I am not sharing 🤐) is on discord!! A shorter summary of everything that happened is in this post.

but just to answer your questions:

I was not a background actor. My husband and I were on the outskirts of the set all day, the cast and crew were aware of us and a bunch of the crew kept coming over to talk to us throughout the day. And Stephen. ;) But later in the day it turned out they needed to film where we were standing…and so they invited us behind the scenes on set. IT. WAS. AMAZING. And words cannot describe it, but if you want me to try, see discord and/or the linked post ^_^

We didn’t get much of a tour - except to craft services and the bathroom lol. But mostly we stayed in one very active spot and got to meet a BUNCH of people who kept coming over, including a lot of crew, one of the writers, Caity Lotz, and David Ramsey. Plus a bunch of others were walking/sitting/standing nearby. (Again, see the post).

I am not Canadian (alas). But I do live near Seattle and Vancouver is a 3 hour drive away.

I did get to watch a scene being filmed from behind the scenes (again, see the post!)

and I ate a piece of Emily’s goodbye cake. 

see the post! see the post! see the post!! THERE ARE PHOTOS. 😘

That was Mom and Dad introducing her to the lair. Nothing would be quite as convincing as the green leather on the mannequin down there, or the bows and arrows, or the old computer equipment.

We’ve named his hair now?

I was gonna follow this up with I want to name every part of him... But clearly my brain has caught up with me and now I’m just gonna sit over here and laugh.
