ONE HOPES iron heights one-ups the pipeline by still including working toilets

i would not be sarcastic about the fact that my felicity smoak shirt fits over my 'bucky barnes did nothing wrong' shirt. i am strong in both those emotions

does anyone actually have a count of how many people are currently locked in the pipeline?

i don't fully trust the cw to handle it in a way that wouldn't hurt at least one of them, so i'm a little ok with this. i just don't understand why it's beyond so many writers that the arc of a relationship, even a happy one, can be its own story—an endgame relationship is not literally the end.

*KNOCKS ON WOOD VIOLENTLY*

"my morals won't let me do this one terrible thing!" *locks up a bunch of people in a prison composed solely of solitary confinement cells, with nobody appearing to feed them, nowhere to sleep, and definitely nowhere to pee* "mY MORALS!!"

my money's on "endless limbo until the last few episodes of the series", with backup option "try once, fail, grow as people, come together again for the last few episodes of the series". basically, as little actual time as a couple as possible, because that's the only way to not infect it with cw-style drama.

well, the writers did set her up to be a target for fannish ire. it's hard sometimes to see her actual motivations through the olive green lens of the writers

anyway if anything what it proves is that it's nice to see a cw relationship based in communication and mutual respect instead of melodrama, self-pity and secrets

you leave felicity smoak out of this, you fiend! *puts on my 'felicity smoak did nothing wrong' t-shirt*

because comics are bad and time travel is always a bad conceit for any story, but here we are

so kind of like tying off a piece of thread into its own loop—if you cut off the loop, the thread can still remain (more or less) whole. right?

the time wraiths and the way they just whisked zoom off made me laugh inappropriately, tbh

the magnatar was definitely… come on. the writers could have set that up easily LAST WEEK when black siren was messing around with mercury labs. retrospect shows they sort of did—but only subtly, and subtlety has no place in comic book supervillain plans. i'm also disappointed to see wally (and jesse) still not imbued…

big dreams, my friend, big dreams.

ALSO like… look. i fully admit i have add, not kidding, professionally diagnosed. but i had to go back over and over to try to understand just what rip did with the meteor and the sun and time jumping (and making it to the fucking sun in 20 minutes), and i still didn't get it. who wants to esplain this shit to me?…

"It'd be nice if people remember that on C 'all romance-going wrong, all the time' W." it's not really C 'look at all this gay shit we got going on' W though so like… i don't think you have anything to be worried about, relax lol

BYE CASPER CRUMP, HOPE TO NEVER FUCKING SEE YOU AGAIN

ok one more comment, though: i don't understand how people don't like felicity. she's her own person, which is more than can be said for quite a few female characters on the CW. she's funny, she's got depth, emily bett rickards is just incredibly talented overall. is it because the writers gave her what seems, on the…

you know there's a lot going on in this episode, both good and bad, and on a side note i always laugh at lonnie machin's "burned" makeup because it's so stereotypically CW "can't let someone NOT be pretty" nonsense. but the most important thing tonight for me was CURTIS IS BACK CURTIS IS BACK CURTIS IS BACK!!!!! with…
