#goingbacktofic

Now, I've seen a lot of different opinions about the whole Oliver and Sara thing and I find myself going back and forth. Frankly, I agree with a lot of the different opinions about that hookup.  It makes sense (wait for it) because this is where Oliver is right now and where the storyline on the show is going.  Was it bad timing? Oh hell yeah.  But I get it.

I don't think Oliver is a man slut or beneath Felicity. I just don't.  I also don't think that Felicity is a sweet virginal woman either. Nah.  

Oliver is not perfect and contrary to some belief, neither is Felicity.  Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Felicity, and EBR's portrayal of her has been really really great.  I'm also extremely protective of this character because I want her to branch out, and maybe it'll start to happen now. 

That being said, I don't hate Sara (I LOVE this character, really) and by some extension, I don't hate Oliver (I just mostly shake my head at him now).

These two will eventually find each other and in the meantime, they'll have these road trips towards other people, and other situations. They'll both make stupid decisions, and make us the viewers say WTF? And that's ok.

I'm not here to tell you what to think or your opinion is not valid but I'm not going to lie, lately, the opinions on this tag have made me a little wary, and a little sad.  Its been interesting to rejoin a fandom after so long and I've mostly enjoyed my time here. So, I'll shut my mouth, and go back to writing fic. :)
